11 ♥ True Heart
Hearts are Made to be Broken
♥ Sunggyu ♥
"Have fun," I said to Woohyun as he flashed a quick smile to me before leaving the apartment. I leaned myself to the door, watching him disappeared at the turn.
I quickly rushed back inside and grabbed my long trenchcoat that I only wore during winter. I also took the sunglasses and my black knit hat.
"Sorry, Woohyun," I murmured to myself as I locked the door. "It's for your own good."
Today he would go on a date with Eunye to a luxurious restaurant. He didn't talk about his relationship with Eunye even though I kept bugging him until I felt guilty about it.
I decided not to nag him and looked after the truth by myself. Perhaps it's the best way.
The full-equipment might be a silly idea but it's better than nothing. I would follow them and caught Eunye right on her feet when she was doing something suspicious.
I managed to go inside the restaurant but I sat far from them because it's really crowded. I watched them carefully while I ordered for a glass of blended Ice Cappucino.
After around fifteen minutes, Eunye suddenly stood up and walked away with phone in her hand. I hid my face with the menu book before followed her silently.
"Hyomin, can we talk later? I'm on a date with Woohyun right now," I heard she whispered to the phone without stopping her steps. "I'll work with my own method. No, I-"
I pretended to look at the floor because I didn't want her to recognize me. I kept following her without seeing where I was heading.
Hyomin... The name sounded familiar.
"There is something I want to ask," Eunye muttered calmly now. "Tell me again. What did Woohyun do to you until you asked me to-"
She stopped her words and I unconsciously looked up to see why she didn't continue. For my surprise I saw my own reflection because she's standing right in front of a mirror.
That's when I realized that I was actually inside of the ladies' room.
"Huah!" a girl who just stepped inside the ladies' room screamed out loud. Her friend joined to scream and I didn't even think twice to run away.
However they didn't let me go easily. They hit me with their handbags continuously, accusing me as a stalker and ert when I actually did nothing.
Thankfully the waiters who came as soon as possible separated them from me. I struggled from their grip and checked my shoulder while I took off my sunglasses, "Aish, it hurts!"
"Gyu Hyung?!" Woohyun's voice caught my attention. I looked up to see him with wide eyes, completely shocked with my presence. "What are you doing? No, what did you do?!"
I didn't have a chance to talk to him because a security guard had arrived and he held my arm firmly, "I'm sorry, Sir, but I think you have some explanation to do."
Great. Everything was just great.

"I hope it will not happen again next time, Sir," the security guard opens the door for me with a small smile. "Thank you for your cooperation."
"I'll make sure I'll never come back here again," I scoff with sarcasm as I walk pass him.
"Hyung."
I stop my steps and spin around to see Woohyun with Eunye. They approach me and I can see that Eunye doesn't care, even for the slightest, about me.
"Don't ask me if I'm a stalker or a ert," I warn him with a glare. "I mean it, Woohyun, or I'll make sure you will have nightmare since tonight."
"Easy, Hyung!" Woohyun gives me an awkward grin. "It's not what I wanted to ask actually but... did you follow us here?"
I roll my eyes and mess my hair, "I don't even want to talk about it. I need to go back now. I'll see you later, Woohyun."
Knowing that they will not follow me for sure, I leave the restaurant with pairs of eyes following me. I can only hope that none of my acquaintances is here.
Less than a minute after I leave the building, rain starts to pour down heavily. People open their umbrellas and shelter themselves from the raindrops.
"Great," I sigh, letting myself to be drenched by the rain. "Everything is perfect today, isn't it?"
I let out another long sigh before I continue my step but I immediately stop when I feel the raindrops don't pour on me again; someone shelters me with a white umbrella.
"Do you really like playing under the rain?" the person asks me, holding the umbrella to keep ourselves safe from the heavy rain.
I'm not sure that my eyes are working properly because I think the girl who stands right in front of me with the umbrela is actually Eunye...
...and she is alone.
Where is Woohyun?
"I don't have any plan to stand here forever," she interrupts my random thought. "My apartment is near from here."
She doesn't ask me to follow her but I think, since I don't see another choice, I follow her while keeping my pace with her. She holds the umbrella higher so it will not hit my head.
"Let me-" I take the umbrella from her and, just for a split of seconds, our hands meet. She quickly pulls her hand away while I tighten my grip on the umbrella.
She looks away and, I think, her cheeks just turn into shades pink.
If this is just another act, I swear she is the best actress I ever knew.
None of us talk until we step in her apartment building. She tells me her apartment floor and I just give her a slight nod.
"Just sit there," she points to the couch in her main room when she closes the door. "I'll be right back."
She disappears into another room, leaving me standing with confusion.
Hang on. Are we actually alone in her apartment?!

"Here," I hand a white T-shirt and purple towel to Sunggyu. "At least you can change your shirt or you will fall sick."
He takes them from me with suspicious in his eyes, "Are these yours?"
"No," I walk to the kitchen to prepare hot tea. "They're Hoya's."
I bought those for him when I gave him a birthday party last year. I remember I threw the cake to his face and his shirt was all dirty with cream. I decided to buy him a T-shirt and a towel so he could change just in case he needs spare clothes next time.
"Hoya?" Sunggyu repeats but I ignore him. I tell him where the bathroom is and, thankfully, he walks to the bathroom without another question.
"There you go," I put the cup on the table after he finished changing his shirt. He is still trying to dry his hair with the towel when he takes a seat on the couch, right across from me.
He looks hesitated for seconds but he finally takes the cup and takes a sip slowly, "It's warm..."
I smile, feeling relieved because he is alright even though he is drenched due to the heavy rain. It's a good thing I brought my umbrella in my bag.
I had no idea that it was him who followed me inside of the ladies' room. I was taking Hyomin's call and I wanted to ask her just to confirm whether Woohyun deserved to be my 'assignment' or not when I saw a suspicious guy right behind me.
Well, it's not the girls' fault to be scared because he did look like a stalker.
Black knit hat, sunglasses, long trenchcoat. He actually looked like a serial killer.
However I felt guilty when he looked really pissed after the security guard interrogated him. I know he's wrong but I should have done something to help him from the girls who hit him without mercy.
I excused myself from Woohyun, telling him that I had something to do. Besides it's not like a good idea to stay longer with him when he has asked me about my past.
Yes, I have so-not-good past with Sunggyu but it doesn't mean I'm cruel enough to let him feel embarassed with false accusation.
When I notice that Sunggyu is looking at me with the cup still touches his lips, I tilt my head, "What?"
"No," he puts down the cup and uses the towel to dry his hair again. "It's nothing. Where is Woo-"
I don't really listen to what he is saying because I'm getting impatient with his drying-hair-technique.
I move to his side and take the towel from him. I pat his hair with the towel, paying attention to his messy hair, "You're like a little kid... Your hair will never dry if you did it your way."
Sunggyu doesn't say a word so I keep rubbing his hair with the towel for another minute before I take the towel away, "Now... that's better."
"You can do this if you want to," I ruffle his hair with my fingers playfully. This is what I always do when Hoya's hair is wet and I can't help but to smile mischievously. "Well, yo-"
Sunggyu runs his fingers to his hair and our hands meet. I was going to pull away but he grabs my hand, not letting me go.
"Is this also an act, Choi Eunye?" he whispers vividly. He puts the back of his hand, which is holding mine, on his lips. Technically speaking, my hand is only blocked from his lips with his hand.
His eyes are closed and his hand is cold. He murmurs slowly, "Which one... is the real you?"
I can feel heat creeps to my cheeks and my heartbeat becomes uncontrollable when he opens his eyes and looks at me deeply.
"I want to know your true heart...," he shifts his hand and lets my fingers brush his lips, "...Eunye."
