Falling in-love...after getting divorced?!I enjoyed the fresh air by myself.
Yoon-seonsaeng came in first after all the guys were beckoning him to enjoy some drinks with them.
I told him to, anyways.
I needed...to be alone for awhile.
As much as I needed him to be with me for awhile.
"Uhm, excuse me,"
A poised and feminine voice called out to me.
I turned around.
Kyuhyun's girl.
She was smiling at me half-heartedly.
"Uhm, everyone's asking you to come in," she said.
I found it incredibly hard to smile when I didn't have a reason to, but I'm Seo Juhyeon.
I had the 'legendary composure'.
I flashed her a smile.
"I'll come in a bit later.
The fresh air's really good out here," I said.
She looked convince, and her half-hearted smile turned into a whole-hearted one.
"Then do you mind if I come join you for a while?" she asked.
I was surprised by her request.
"Uhm, sure," I muttered.
She made her way across the grass and then sat next to me, smiling.
I smiled back.
"I'm Ahn Sohee," she extended her hand for me to shake.
I took it, reluctantly, before breaking apart.
"I'm Seo Juhyeon, but people just normally call me Seohyun," I said.
I felt like I had to give her a reply, so I introduced myself too.
"I know," she said, half-embarassed.
"Everyone back there said that you knew Kyuhyun-oppa since middle school."
Kyuhyun-oppa?
I suddenly remembered when we were in juniour high and Kyuhyun begged me to call him oppa.
He even asked that from me as a gift for his 16th birthday.
He said it was his 'dream' to be called oppa by someone 'as cute as me'.
I refused, of course.
It was too cutesy and sweet for me.
Looks like he got his wish granted by Sohee.
I could only smile forcedly.
"What was he like?" she asked, looking incredibly curious.
I clenched my jaw.
"Exactly how he is now," I answered.
She looked...fascinated.
It then dawned on me.
This girl...is in-love with my ex-husband.
"Really?
That's a relief," she smiled to herself.
"Why is that?" I asked, truly wanting to know.
"Well, Kyuhyun-oppa always seemed to good to be true.
I wondered if it's all just a facade, but hearing that from Seohyun-ssi makes me feel really happy and relieved.
At least I know that even after we get married, he'll stay the same," she gushed.
"Married?" I snapped, without thinking.
She nodded happily.
"Yes, married.
This is a marriage date* afterall," she giggled.
"Well, it's too early to say, but considering this is our third date, I think things are going pretty well.
Even though I was the one who requested the dates, he came afterall.
Besides, I've already decided," she grinned.
So that's what it was.
A marriage date.
[♥]———————[♥]
I looked at all the different foods.
Suddenly, a big smile started to spread across my face.
I bit my bottom lip.
Everything...looks so nice.
I felt someone was looking at me.
I looked up.
Kyuhyun was staring right at me.
My smile faded.
I looked away too quickly and switched my eyes back to the food.
But of course, that didn't last long.
I glanced over to his plate, careful that my eyes don't go up and look straight at his face.
Why does he have...peach tarts on his plate?
He's allergic to peaches.
I looked up.
It all became too clear.
He was just randomly and absent-mindedly putting food on his plate.
His eyes...were on me.
I caught myself before laughing.
"You're allergic to peaches," I told him.
He looked down and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Uhm, yeah, this...isn't for me," he stammered, obviously making an excuse.
So it's for her?
I found myself frowning.
I looked over Kyuhyun's shoulder.
His date looked so awkward.
She was sitting...where I was sitting before.
In my seat.
In my position.
I swallowed hard.
"It's not very polite to leave your girlfriend alone in a place where she knows no one, no matter what," I said.
Kyuhyun looked over his shoulder.
"She's not my girlfriend," he replied, almost like re-assuring me.
"Besides, she'll be fine.
She's used to these things," he added, not seeming to care.
I decided not to say anything else.
I got back to deciding which food I should try first.
Should I try the peach tarts?
I didn't used to eat peach foods much when I was with Kyuhyun.
Maybe I'll just...
"It's a good match...you and Yoon-seonsaeng," he said, bitter with sarcasm.
"I saw you at the balcony before.
You guys looked like you were shooting some kind of movie."
I exhaled, annoyed.
"I see the word 'privacy' means nothing to you," I breathed.
"You know what, you're right.
He is a good match for me.
He treats me kindly, and he knows exactly what I need to hear.
He gives me the comfort I need and want," I said.
I could feel my face turning red.
He scoffed, obviously annoyed as he suddenly dropped the tong on the plate, making a racket.
I looked around.
Everyone was looking at us.
Kyuhyun didn't seem to care though.
He was still looking at me with a pissed-off expression.
My heart picked up its pace, and I tried hard to keep my 'legendary composure' on.
"Good luck with him then.
I wish you all the happiness in the world," he said, though his words sounded even sharper than a knife and it was as if he meant the exact opposite.
Kyuhyun...looked incredibly annoyed.
Intimidating.
But it didn't scare me.
For some reason, instead of feeling insecure, I felt so sorry to him.
I knew, somehow, that he felt like he was abandoned.
Like I left him.
Just like how he left me.
But until now, I can't bring myself to hate him for bringing up divorce, three years before.
Afterall, it was all my fault that we got to that stage in the first place.

*marriage date - a marriage date is like a blind date arranged by rich wives/mothers for their kids to meet equally rich or good potential future in-law.
(A/N) *sigh* You guys are right. No matter what I say, since I haven't written it in Kyuhyun's point of view yet, you'll still hate him.
I guess I'll have to watch poor Kyu get berated a little longer.
P.S. I changed the poster. The previous one was so crappy that I just had to change it! >_< Let me know what you guys think ;)
