14 ♥ Heart's Desire
Hearts are Made to be Broken
♥ Woohyun ♥
"Aish! Fine! I can't keep it any longer from you!" Sunggyu groaned desperately and looked at me. "Do you remember Hyomin?"
"Hyomin? Do you mean Jung Hyomin?" I frowned, trying to remember the familiar name who happened to be my junior at college one year ago. It's been a while since the last time I talked to her.
I was not really close to her but I knew that she was one of the smartest girl in our department. I wondered what she was doing now that she should have graduated this year.
There was one thing I couldn't forget about her though. On my graduation day she confessed that she actually liked me and asked me to be her boyfriend.
I was not thinking about having a relationship, especially not with the junior who wasn't even really close to me. I was her mentor for a subject but, no, we're not that close to have a relationship as lovers.
She cried when I rejected her feeling and I felt really guilty. Since that day we never talked again and I couldn't help but to think that love could break a good friendship bond.
I was too scared to start a relationship until I met Eunye. Even though I just met her for a week or so, she made me feel loved with her smile and everything. I couldn't help but to feel as if I was the luckiest guy ever.
The kiss I gave to her was a really bold gesture I ever made towards a girl but I didn't regret it at all because it was Eunye.
"I'm not sure if it's the same Hyomin we're talking about but Eunye knows her," Sunggyu explained with unsure look. "I think they're planning something together and I'm pretty sure it's not a good plan."
"Hyung, not this again...," I smiled sheepishly but Sunggyu rolled his eyes, giving me a disbelief look.
"I just don't want my childhood friend to get hurt, okay? It's alright if you don't want to believe me but, please, at least try to listen to me this time," he ended our conversation and told me that he wanted to return to the staff room.
I freezed on my stand for seconds, confused with my own random thought. I knew Sunggyu was not assuming thing; not when he came up with another name behind Eunye.
Why would Eunye and Hyomin planned something against me? What could it be anyway?

I look at the address on my phone and look at the night club's sign once again to make sure I don't visit the wrong place.
"I hope I'm doing the right thing...," I murmur to myself, putting my phone back in my pocket. I step inside the night club and immediately try to find Hyomin.
With a help from my friend, I found out that Hyomin now works at a night club as a hired singer after she graduated. It's such a shame because I know she actually has a talent with her voice.
It's not the noisy night club with colorful lights here and there. It's actually a nice and sweet night club.
Right when my eyes just find Hyomin, she just stepped down from the stage while the customers clap for her. My gaze follow her until she reaches the bar to meet up with someone.
I focus my sight because I think I know who the person she just greeted.
Is it Eunye?
Is it Eunye?
She is wearing a sleeveless black long coat on top of her white shirt. Eunye is leaning her back against the bar while she talks to Hyomin with serious expression. Hyomin offers her a drink but she refuses it, shaking her head with impatient look.
I carefully make my way to them but I try really hard not to make them notice my presence. I finally manage to listen to their conversation after my silence attempt.
"It's not the deal," Eunye sounds unhappy. "You told me that he is your ex-boyfriend. I have a privilege to choose my task and I'm not going to continue this one, Hyomin."
"What's the difference?!" Hyomin raises her tone and some girls turn to look at her. "You're going to end up hurting someone anyhow! He hurt me and he deserves his heart broken like me!"
Eunye gives Hyomin a disgusted look, "You know what? I don't really care what you're thinking about me. I'm not going to hurt Woohyun just because you want him to feel what you felt."
"Don't act like an innocent, Choi Eunye!" Hyomin grabs Eunye's wrist when she was going to leave. "You're a heartbreaker. You're the girl who believes that hearts are made to be broken. What's wrong with breaking another heart of guy?!"
Eunye tosses her hand and hisses coldly, "Breaking a heart of innocent is not my principal. Please note that."
She walks pass the crowd and I can see that Hyomin is not happy at all. She kicks the chair and curses, "Damn it! Damn you, Choi Eunye!"
For seconds I am actually confused about what I should do. I want to ask Hyomin but at the same time I want to hear the explanation from Eunye herself.
I decide to leave the night club and rush to catch up with Eunye. I manage to find her around ten metres from the night club.
"Eun-" I was going to call her name but I quickly hide myself again, pretending that I'm busy looking at the bookstore when I see Howon approaches her.
From the corner of my eyes, I can see Howon pat her head with a warm smile. He says something that I can't hear but then Eunye suddenly steps forward and hugs him.
My heart aches real bad. This is the first time I feel something like this. It feels so hurt that I clutch my own shirt, hoping it will stop.
Is this what Hyomin felt when I rejected her feeling? Is this what they're planning to do against me?
Is this how it feels to be broken hearted?

♥ Eunye ♥
I clench my fists, holding my anger inside as I leave the night club. I finally managed to meet Hyomin in person instead of calling her because I really need to get a clear issue of my 'assignment'.
After I pushed her to tell me the truth, she finally revealed that she never been in a relationship with Woohyun. He rejected her confession and she wanted him to suffer the heartbreak like what she felt.
I'm actually angry at myself for being such a fool to believe what she said at the first place. I should have tried to find out whether she was honest or not before I agreed,
The same situation of my past with her story had clouded my judgement and look what I've done now; what should I say to Woohyun now that he has became so attached to me?
"Eunye?" Hoya's voice snaps me back to reality. He is waiting for me like what I told him before I went to meet Hyomin.
He really doesn't leave his stand. He approaches me and asks me about what happened because I don't put on a really good expression.
"You're right...," I drop my gaze, completely disappointed at myself. "I should have stopped this assignment when you told me..."
As usual, he doesn't force me to tell everything when I'm down. Hoya pats my head gently and gives me his smile, "It's alright, Eunye. It's alright."
Those are just simple words but my heart feels at ease just because of his voice. I bluntly hug him, clutching his shirt as I close my eyes, "I'm the worst..."
Hoya stops patting my head all of a sudden and holds my shoulders firmly, "Woohyun?"
I quickly turn around to see Woohyun is standing not too far form us. I draw distance with Hoya when I see his sad eyes. He forces a weak smile and greets us, "Hey, what a coincidence..."
He is so bad at lying. I know he is lying. His eyes tell everything and my heart twists, knowing that he just saw me hugged Hoya.
"Woohyun, don't get it wrong. We-" Hoya is trying to explain the situation, using the usual statement we always have; we're best friends and nothing more. However I quickly stop him by intertwining my fingers with his.
Hoya turns to look at me with disbelief look. I shake my head as a sign for him to shut up and let me do my last act; he will hurt sooner or later and ending this drama now is better than later.
"Oppa...," I clear my throat and glance at Woohyun. "I'm sorry..."
I have the words in my mind already but I can't say anything. I feel like I'm the worst creature to hurt the innocent guy like him; I don't even think he knew how heartbreak felt...
...until now.
For my surprise Woohyun doesn't shout or blame me. He smiles sadly at me, "Perhaps I shouldn't know it. Perhaps I should have ignored you from the start..."
He stops and I notice that his eyes are teary already yet he forces himself to continue, "...but my heart's desire is you."
Woohyun bows in ninety degrees and then mumbles, "Excuse me..."
He runs through the crowd and I slowly separate my hand from Hoya's. I take a deep breath, realizing that my sin is getting worse and worse now.
"Let's go back," I turn on my heels and walk through the crowd, heading back to my apartment's direction. I'm completely not in a mood to stay outside right now.
"Eunye," Hoya calls me but I don't stop. I fasten my pace but he decides to stop me when we're not in the middle of the crowd anymore. "Eunye!"
He grabs my hand when we're walking pass the small park which is only fifty metres or so from my apartment.
"You don't want to hurt him, do you?" Hoya cups my face with his hands but I close my eyes because I feel too embarassed to look at him. "Eunye, look at me. Eunye."
I slowly open my eyes and look at Hoya. He doesn't look mad; instead he looks really worried about me.
"Woohyun has told you his heart's desire...," he heaves a sigh and rests his forehead against mine, making our faces are only inches away that I can feel his breathe on my face. "Now we just need to know yours to settle everything."
"Who is the person in your mind right now?"
