Victim once again
Second Chances
“May I have your attention, everyone? The last slides on the slideshow are finally about to be shown!” The MC announced, and everyone clapped in response. The words did not sink into Wooyoung’s brain and he was still dazed.
‘Did he just say… The last slide?!’
Wooyoung looked at the screen as he saw the picture on the next slide. It depicted Taeyeon and Leeteuk in Leeteuk’s dorm, the two of them smiling at the camera with a can drink in each of their hands.
“This was taken on Taeyeon’s 20th birthday, during her second year in university. There was an opportunity for them to get to know each other better, and the two of them became closer to each other thanks to the occasion.” The MC continued to explain the picture to the audience.
Wooyoung was shocked at how far the slides have jumped from the last one and turned to Junho. “Yah, why did it skip forward so quickly? We have lots of other photos from our first year in university!”
“Why are you so suddenly agitated?” Yoona looked at him weirdly.
‘Aish…The picture doesn’t even have me in it.” Wooyoung mumbled under his breath.
Taecyeon heard him and said, “Huh? But it’s not even your wedding.”
‘Damn it… What’s going to happen now? What do I do now?’ Wooyoung thought as he stared at the screen.
Just then, the familiar bright light shone on Wooyoung as everyone in the room froze.
“Junsu!” Wooyoung greeted as Junsu appeared next to him and leaned his arm on Wooyoung’s shoulder.
“It’s the last slide, but I’m not in the picture! Oh no, I’m not allowed to go back right?!” Wooyoung started panicking when Junsu grabbed his shoulders and made him calm down.
“Who says you’re not in the picture? Look closer, you’re in there!”
Wooyoung peered at the screen once again before noticing the same picture in the previous time slip in a picture frame, hanging in between Taeyeon and Leeteuk in the current picture.
“Really? This counts?”
“You shouldn’t jump to conclusions without any proof! Well it’s not just you, all humans act the same way. But do bear this in mind all the time – DON’T jump to conclusions so rashly.”
“Ah…”
“Well, what are you waiting for? I don’t have to remind you of what to do already, right?”
“HALLELUJAH CHANCE!”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Wooyoung opened his eyes to see Hyoyeon in front of him, and she was practically fuming, almost like a volcano about to erupt with steam emitting from the vent. The five friends and Hyoyeon were gathered at the same burger shop, Samchoon’s Burgers again.
“YAH! TELL ME! HE CHEATED ON ME, AM I RIGHT?!” Hyoyeon grabbed Wooyoung’s collar and shook him hard, demanding the truth from him.
“What is this?!”
“Don’t act innocent, tell me the truth!”
“I told you many times, I didn’t cheat on you!” Junho said, giving an exasperated look. “I told you, I was at Wooyoung’s place last night. Right, Woo?”
“Ah. Yes, yes.” Wooyoung answered carelessly, still being held by the collar by Hyoyeon. She then threw Wooyoung aside and stomped to Junho, who was sitting down on a chair nearby.
“Alright, it’s time for the long awaited final battle of the es!” Taecyeon commentated as if he was hosting a live match while holding an empty cup for his mike.
