with you  

(lol i trolled at the previous chapter's ending and felt dumb OTL)

Hyeri stared at Myungsoo blankly as though he was stupid. She saw some sort of regret on his face; he must had realized what he had asked. “What?” She chuckled and he was flabbergasted for a moment.

“What—wait I meant, how did you know him? Sorry, it’s been a long day and I spent the whole of last night looking at you while you slept.”

A smile crept onto his face, with Myungsoo not bothering how daft he looked like.

“That actually sounds creepy but since it’s coming from you, I guess it’s… romantic,” she smiled at her adorable boyfriend and wondered where to start her explanation. “So I was just roaming around your school and he actually recognized me—he said you showed him my picture—so he confronted me on the day I touched down in New York. He’s one smart observant fellow.”

“I see, and I didn’t know he was a good puncher. My jaw still hurts from last Friday… I have received three punches within two weeks. Hoya is so strong, darn it!”

He pouted, hoping that Hyeri would comfort, pamper him or even use aegyo to soothe the soreness away. However, all she responded was just a succinct sentence, “You deserved it.” Myungsoo could only chuckle sheepishly at his girlfriend’s indifference.

“Actually, I kind of knew you were here long ago. I thought I saw you and I thought I was insane. But you just kept appearing in my sight… so it kind of hit me that you were really here. But you sprung out suddenly with Min Hyuk and I was flipping.”

Conversations with Myungsoo were the best, Hyeri loved talking to him so much. At times, she would be the one talking the most and he would just listen. But there would be times where he would blabber nonsense with his ‘cheap’ voice and crack Hyeri up. From the topic of Minhyuk, they went to the topic of talking about Myungsoo’s photographs.

“Do you want to see my other photos? The deadline’s in three days and I lack of 3 more photos.”

She nodded and he proceeded to taking out his camera from the dry box. She admired his love for photography. She never knew how someone could be so passionate with a hobby. Myungsoo and his camera shared a very special relationship. Something she would never comprehend.

“She’s here, she came to look for him…”

Eunji always wondered why she had an unrequited love for a boy that would never look her way. Or why she was the unlucky nerdy girl that held no chance with boys she liked. She resented being hidden by others or blending in with the crowd.

She wanted to feel special.

She wanted to be someone’s center of attention.

Sure she had good grades, a clean background, a friendly personality and long wavy hair. But the boys she liked have never looked her way, not even once. They probably did not even know of her existence. That was just so heartbreaking. She liked Myungsoo so much. She liked him so much that her heart gnawed, knowing that she could never be with him.

Could someone enlighten her of the happenings of a one-sided love? What actually would happen to the girl who was helplessly in love with a taken boy? Would she get him in the end? Would she continue to falter in the background, him unaware of her strong passion for him? Or would she move on?

“I must have him, no matter what.”

 Eunji diverted her attention to Yeon Hee who was blankly gawking at her with widened eyes and an agape mouth. “I really really love him. I can’t even—I just… I just have to have him,” she repeated again, the second time with a stronger determination.

She was not obsessed with Kim Myungsoo. She just simply loved him so much. He was the epitome of perfection in her eyes. In high school, she would follow him everywhere with the flock of gossiping girls. They too, were head over heels for Kim Myungsoo. Eunji wondered if they had moved on because back in those days, the girls did crazier things than her. He never paid attention to them though—their pleas to
