41 ♥ From the Heart
Hearts are Made to be Broken
♥ Woohyun ♥
I lean my back against the wall and glance at my wristwatch. It's almost seven at night but the park is still crowded with young couples and kids along with their parents.
Five days have passed since we arrived back in Seoul after the dance competition. I made myself busy with the preparation for the international vocal competition.
It's the only way for me to forget about the decision I've made that day.
Letting go of Eunye is the choice I took after knowing that both her and Hoya actually love each other. No, Hoya never told me but it doesn't need a genius to figure it out.
The way Hoya always secretly looked at Eunye when we're in London. The way he avoided her gaze when she's with Sunggyu. The way he worried over her when she disappeared on her birthday.
It's so obvious.
Strange enough, I felt relieve somehow after I told Hoya that he needed to be honest with his heart. It's hurt but it didn't hurt as much as I thought before.
Everything is back to normal as if nothing happened yet there are things have changed lately.
"Excuse me," a woman with a black cap approaches me. "Can I borrow your phone? I need to call my boyfriend to pick me up here."
Being a well-mannered guy, I lend her my phone. I shift my head slightly to take a peek of her face but she is wearing a kind of surgical mask. Maybe she is not feeling too well.
Unfortunately, when I look around to find the person I'm waiting for, the mysterious woman suddenly turns around and storms away in a flash.
Due to the sudden happening, I freeze on my stand for two seconds before my sense hits me, "Yah! Give my phone back!"
I shout as loud as I can. I even run to chase after her but it's useless. She has disappeared to nowhere and I lose her track, "There my phone goes..."
Great. Now how can I contact Hyuna?

♥ Sunggyu ♥
The next day after I arrived in Seoul, I decided to visit Bora's apartment. Hoya was actually the one who helped me with the address since they lived in the same apartment building.
Meanwhile Eunye had encouraged me to talk with Bora, to tell her that I still had not forget her, just like the way she still had feeling for me.
"Kim Sunggyu, you can do it," I took a deep breath and finally knocked the door, waiting for her to open it for me.
After half a minute, Bora opened the door for inside with a happy smile which disappears when she realized her uninvited guest, "Yes, can I hel-"
"Hey," I smiled awkwardly as she gasped in disbelief. "It's been a while, isn't it?"
Right. The last time I saw her was when we met in cinema accidentally. She didn't attend the reunion and I didn't really want to bother myself with it that time.
"S-Sunggyu?" she murmured my name, making sure that I was not an illusion. "What... What are you doing here? How did you find out my apartment?"
"Can I come in?" I asked her as calm as possible. There were a lot of things we needed to talk. "If you don't mind."
She blushed and pulled the door inside to give me the way inside. I excused myself and stepped in her apartment, taking my shoes off before followed her to the main room.
Bora chose to sit across from me instead of next to me. She began with a question, "How are you, Sunggyu?"
I smiled at her caring attitude as always. She didn't change at all.
"I'm good. How about you?" I intertwined my fingers and looked at her softly. "Looks like you're doing well, Bora."
She chuckled and my heart skipped a beat. Now I was sure that Eunye really resembled Bora and that's why I was attracted to Eunye before. Because she reminded me of Bora.
"Bora, I...," I dug my nails on skin, trying to figure out the perfect words to say to her. "I read the blog posts... Those on our private blog."
This time Bora covered with her hand, completely didn't expect me to say that. She stood up and bowed in panic, "I-I'm sorry! I just... I thought you wouldn't read it so I-"
"No, it's alright," I cut off her apology and left my seat. I walked to her and cupped her cheek so our eyes could met. "In fact, I'm glad you wrote them."
A tear escaped her eyes and she started to sob, "I'm sorry, Sunggyu... I thought leaving you would be the best decision so you would not be burdened by me..."
I hugged her and her long hair, my favorite gesture towards someone I loved, "Silly girl. I never think of you as my burden."
I kissed her forehead and whispered the words from the heart that I really wanted to ask her, "Can we start all over again?"

"Sunggyu!" Bora waves to me, calling me to come closer. She shows me the white scarf in her hand, "This one is beautiful!"
I take a good look at the scarf and smile, "If you think it is the best present, I'll take it."
She smiles and I can't help but to feel happy, knowing that I am the reason of her smile. I pat her head and walk to the cashier with the white scarf.
That day Bora cried happy tears since she couldn't believe there would be a day where I would ask her to be my girlfriend again...
...but I did and I'm glad I confessed to her again.
We talked about everything we could after that. About our works, about our days after we separated, about how much she missed me, and about my confusing feeling.
I felt really guilty when I told her that I tried to win Eunye's heart but she just smiled to me and said that it's alright because what's important now was we're together again.
That's exactly the reason why she was at the cinema with Hoya on the other day. She knew I would buy the tickets for our reunion so she just wanted to see me and asked Hoya to accompany her without telling the real reason.
She didn't expect me to be there with Eunye. Bora decided not to come on the reunion due to the heartbreak and I apologized to her after knowing the reason.
"I hope Eunye will like it," Bora states as we walk out from the shop. "Does she like white color?"
"She will love it," I take her hand with mine. "Thank you for helping me to pick a thank you present for her."
Bora blushes but a sweet smile forms on her lips. We walk hand in hand, heading to a nearby park to buy ice cream.
"I'll try to call Eunye," I tell Bora on our way there. I wait for Eunye to pick up the phone before I ask her, "Ah, Eunye. Are you at your apartment now?"
"Oh, sorry, Sunggyu," she retorts as I hear she just closed a door. "Woohyun just asked me to meet him at the old warehouse near from Eungeum. Why?"
I tell her that I will visit her later with Bora and she tells me she will give me a call afterwards.
"Old warehouse near your school?" Bora tilts her head. I just told her about my conversation with Eunye. "The one that burned down months ago? Why should Woohyun ask Eunye to meet there?"
I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know. Woohyun surely has a weird taste about meeting point."
All of a sudden, a question crosses my mind as I remember that Eunye once told me that she saw Bora at Eungeum during night time. She suspected her as the one who tried to frame her with scandal but I had no idea why Bora would do it.
"Bora," I look at her and ask the question right away. I tell her everything Eunye told me and wait for her reaction.
She avoids my gaze for a moment and murmurs shyly, "I just followed Hoya and I heard rumors about Eunye from one of the students there. Her sister works in the same office with me."
"When I arrived there, the pictures were already stuck on board. I thought it would be bad for Eunye so I took them off but Eunye saw me...," she ends her explanation and grins awkwardly. "Did she think I'm the cuplrit?"
"Ah, it's not that...," I give her a small smile.
Come to think of it, we still haven't figured out who took those pictures and tried to screw Eunye's image.
"Woohyun?" Bora calls out a name when we're in a queue to buy the ice cream. "Aren't you supposed to meet Eunye?"
Around metres away from us, Woohyun is standing with Hyuna next to him. She gives me a polite smile before bowing politely to Bora.
"Eunye?" Woohyun frowns. "No. I am going to accompany Hyuna to a bakery now. Why?"
My eyes widen in surprise. Partly because he is going somewhere alone with Hyuna and partly because of his answer, "Eh? Eunye said you just asked her to wait for you at the old warehouse near from Eungeum."
"It's impossible," Woohyun shakes his head and sighs. "Someone stole my phone around thirty minutes ago. It's a good thing I still could meet up with Hyuna."
"Besides why would I ask her to meet me at that place? It's dangerous ther-" Woohyun stops. Our eyes meet and I think both of us are thinking about the same thing.
Someone is trying to trap Eunye.

I'm so sorry for the late update!
However I have a good news (for myself though).
I've officially graduated from university yesterday and, guess what, BEAST is BACK!
It's irrelevant to this story but, yeah, BEAST is back everyone! ;)
