Yoon Doojoon

Yoseob called me this morning. He asked me how was I. I had to say, not good. I'm kind of pissed with Hyunseung's stone head. He resists too much. I'm trying to be nice, well at least less rougher than before. But, his ignorance is like... urgh.

Yoseob said he would like to help. So that's why I'm here. In front of the high-pride, Hyunseung's house.  I lean against the wall while thinking of how I'm really going to get this end pretty. I hope there's no more punching. My face just can't take anymore of it. 

"Hey." Yoseob stood in front of me. 

I stood straight and nodded. "Hey."

"So are you ready?" 

"Will this work?" I hesitated.

Yoseob shrugged. "Might be if we try." 

Might be?

"Come on." He lead. I followed him from behind and we stopped in front of the guard post. 

"Excuse me, sir?" Yoseob called. The guard heard and turned around. 

"Yes, may I help you? Oh, Mr Yang. Hyunseung is at home. Come in. I'll notify him."

"It's okay. We wanted to surprise him. We won last week." Yoseob smiled. He's quite a good actor.

"Okay." The guard's eye moved at me and I pulled my hood lower. "And who is this?" 

Yoseob patted my back. "This is my cousin. He's a bit shy but trust me, he's a good player." 

The guard tried to look at my face but I turned away. 

"I told you he's shy." Yoseob said.

The guard smiled in embarassment. "I see. Just need to make sure he's not someone named Doojoon. Hyunseung told me never to let that guy enter. He's kinda mad. Er... Yoseob-ah. Do you know who he is? I think this guy made Hyunseung mad." He whispered the last part.

Yoseob laughed. "Sorry, but never heard of him. Anyway, we're going now. See ya." He waved at him.

The guard bowed at us. He don't know me. So must be a new guy. I could've been caught. Phew.

"Nice acting." I said once we're quite far from him.

"A prankster should always finds way to get away. Acting is very important. I build my skills over the months." 

"Sorry, I wasn't there to notice." I said jokingly eventhough it does made me feel guilty.

He patted me. "It's okay." Yoseob smiled.

We entered a big hall and I stopped. I quickly went for cover behind a wall. Yoseob looked at me and nodded. He went inside and I could heard him saying, "Hyunseung! Nice to see you!" 

"Yoseob, what are you doing here?"

"Err, you see, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's that?"

"I...um...kind of like a girl...and I need your help."

Hyunseung laughed. "Yeah, sure. Come on in. We'll talk inside."

"L...let's go to the yard. That small park? I...um...need privacy."

He laughed again. "Yeah, yeah. Sure. Anything for you."

I heard footsteps and both of them appeared beside the wall. I held my breath, hoping they won't find me. They passed me and I saw Yoseob looking back. He smiled and signaled me to follow.

....................................

"Okay so, who's this lucky girl?" 

"She's...um...a girl. From our rival school."

"Ooo, that's hard. Tell me how she is."

Yoseob looked around and glanced at me for awhile before returning . "She's um...cute, very nice and um...my age..."

"Then?" Hyunseung looked eager. 

"He kind of like someone else." Yoseob made a sad face.

Hyunseung looked surprised. "Who?" 

"Err...I don't know, someone in his school." Yoseo shrugged. 

Hyunseung nodded, thinking of a plan to help his dear friend. 

Suddenly, Yoseob's phone buzzed. He pulled it out and his eyes widened when he looked at the screen. "Oh no! It's her. Oh my god, it's her!" Yoseob cried. His hands were trembling. 

Hyunseung smiled and said, "Pick it up." 

Yoseob looked at him, smiling. "Ex-excuse me." He said and left. 

I think that's the cue. So, I step in front of the tree I used as a hiding place and greeted Hyunseung nicely. 

He looked at me in shock. "How did you get in?" 

I walked closer. "I want to talk with you about something." 

Hyunseung frowned. "I thought we're done." 

I nodded at the bench in front of him. "May I sit?" 

He looked away, trying to ignore me but I eventually sat down. 

"I come here not to start another fight with you but I want to ask for your forgiveness." I explained.

Hyunseung looked at me.

"I want us to be friends like we used to." I said. "I'm sorry I avoided all of you." I continued after seeing he didn't respond. I looked at him with hope. 

He still didn't say anything. 

So I stood up and said, "It's okay if you don't want to forgive me. I understand." I started to walk away.

Suddenly Hyunseung said, "I know what happened." 

I looked at him in confusion. 

"About our mothers, I know about everything." He said. 

I stayed silent, not knowing what to say.

"I heard my mother fighting with my father about your mom. She was the cause wasn't she?" He looked at me. 

I hesitantly nodded. 

Hyunseung chuckled. "I've always guessed that she had something wrong with her. Do you know why it's her fault? It's because she was jealous when your mother are close with my father." 

"I know but they're just friends." I said. 

"And she pushed your mom down the stairs just because of that." Hyunseung laughed bitterly. 

I swallowed the big lump in my throat. Hyunseung's mother killed my mother. My eyes started welling up. 

Hyunseung realised what he had said was very sensitive so he quickly apologized. "I'm sorry." 

"It's the pass now. I couldn't do anything anymore." I said, forcing a smile.

He got up and bowed at me. "I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. I'm also sorry in behalf of my mother. I know it's not enough but please..." 

I pulled him up and said, "I'm sorry too." I held my hand out to shook his hand. He shook mine back. 

"It's both our fault." I said. 

"I'm sorry I punched you. I just can't accept the fact that..." Hyunseung tried to explain but I cut him off.

"I know." I said, understanding. 

Suddenly Yoseob jumped in and hugged both of us. "So we're good?!" 

I laughed while nodding. Hyunseung also laughed. "Yeah." 

"Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!!" He cried.

A/N: Sorry for the long hiatus - again. I'm so sorry. My internet broke down and we got it fixed a few days go. Sorry (bows down 100 times)
