Ch. 41- Forget Him, Yet I Can't

The Raven and the Dove

Myungsoo's POV:

Sungjong and I were at Sungyeol's place for now because we went home in his ride. He was waiting for me downstairs as I got changed into my sweats and a t-shirt. Then I came back downstairs to see Sungjong sitting down on the couch with his knees pulled in. He seemed like he was stressing over something so I asked what he was thinking about.

" Sungjong, what are you thinking about."

" It's nothing." He put his face into his knees and I lifted it back up to face me.

" You can tell me, you know that." Sungjong looked at me with sad but hopeful eyes. He nodded his head and began talking.

" When you left the table, I was left with the others. Then Minwoo........he came over to me and wanted to talk to me privately." He stopped and I nodded for him to keep going on.

" He said......H-He said he loves me, and that he and Donghyun-sshi aren't together anymore." My eyes grew wide when I heared him say that. I didn't know what to think, but I wanted to know what Sungjong was thinking.

" What did you say?" Sungjong was nervously looking at me, and contiuned speaking.

" I said that I was already going out with you, and that we should just be friends. He didn't agree with me though, so he said he will fight for my love."

" Sunjong can I ask you something?"

" Yeah, what is it?"

" Have you ever like Minwoo?" Sungjong was looking at me with big eyes, and tears were beginning to form. Tears were falling from his face, and I wiped them away for him.

" Yes I have. Deep in my heart somewhere, he still holds a piece of me."

" I see." I lowered my head when he said that, and I could feel tears in my eyes too.

" Myungsoo-hyung, please look at me. Right now I'm with you and that's what matters the most." I lifted my head to see him smiling at me, and I couldn't help but smile back.

" Sungjong, if you do fall for him, then please give me a warning so I could be prepared for it. If you don't......I don't think I would be able to deal with it."

" Okay I will." He wiped the tears that were threatening to fall. Then he stood up and started to walking to the door. Then in an instant I saw Sungjong trip, I caught him, and we both fell on the floor with me on top of him. Sungjong was leaning towards me, but I had a bad feeling in my stomach something was going to happen. I didn't know our faces were so close together until we heard the door open.

" W-What are you guys doing?" Sungjong and I both looked at the door to see Sungyeol standing there.

 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

I got out of the car and was walking to my place. I entered in the pin code, and opened the door. What I didn't expect though when I walked in was; Sungjong on the floor, Myungsoo on top of him, and their lips dangerously close to each other. I froze there when I saw them, and luckily it was dark right now because then they wouldn't be able to see the tears and anger.

" W-What are you guys doing?" They both looked at me, and Myungsoo got off Sungjong immediately. They looked guilty as if they have done a bad deed, and that only angered me further. I took off my suit jacket, and walked pass them.

" If you guys are going to go any further, then please do it in Myungsoo's bedroom." I continued walking to my bedroom slowly and I could hear Sungjong leaving.

Then I began taking each piece of my clothing, and walked into the shower. I tried letting the warm water erase the sight I saw just now, but it wouldn't disappear. After I was washed my body and hair, I stood in the shower for a while as the water ran down my body. When I felt like my skin was getting pruny, I got out of the shower, brushed my teeth, put pyjamas on, and went to bed. Though as I laid there, I could already feel the tears spilling down my face. The tears wouldn't stop no matter how much I told myself to stop.

Idiot! Why are you crying for!? Didn't you want to stop crying over him? Didn't you want the pain to stop? You should know that Sungjong and Myungsoo can do that sort of stuff because they are a couple! So stop with your crying and get over him!

I wiped away the tears immediately because I heard the door knob turn. I heard footsteps get closer to my bed, and I pretended to sleep. Then I felt the bed sink a bit, and I felt a gentle hand on my face. I knew whose hand it was because I've held his hand so many times that I know that it's Myungsoo's hand. His fingers brushed my eyebrows to my lips. I heard him sigh, but I was surprised what he said next. 

" I'm crazy aren't I? I spent 100 million dollars on you, and yet I don't know why I did. When Suho-sshi told me you were going to be auctioned, I lost my mind for a second. Then I made the anonymous call and bidded 100 million dollars. Haha, my parents are so going to kill me. Goodnight, Sungyeol." I felt his lips on my forehead, and he left the room.

M-Myungsoo was the one who bidded for me? Why Myungsoo? Why did you bid 100 million dollars for me? Why? Please........don't get my hopes up to high.

After a while, I was finally able to fall asleep, but the feeling of Myungsoo's lips on my forehead lingered there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The next day.......

 

When I woke up, I was tired as heck. I just realized today was Sunday, which meant no school! I got out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and walked downstairs. I was already greeted with the smell of bacon, eggs, and toast. Myungsoo was wearing an apron, which looked quite good on him, and his back was facing me. I sat on the counter as I watched him cook, and when he turned around he gasped.

" Sungyeol! You should tell me you were there!" I stuck out my tongue at him, and took one of the pieces of bacon from the plate.

" I don't have to! I own this place!" He rolled his eyes at me, and continued cooking. I could feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, and I took it out to check who sent me a message.

From: Kris

To: Sungyeol

Hey it's me Kris! I wanted to know if you want to hang out together today?

I smiled at his text, and I sent him a text saying for him to meet me at Paradise Café. Myungsoo gave me my plate of food, and we ate as he stood and I was sitting on the counter. It was quiet between us, so I asked him if he was going to do anything today.

" Myungsoo, are you going to do anything today?"

" Today? Oh yeah, Sungjong texted me earlier this morning to see if he wanted to go on a date today. So I'm going to head out once I finish changing." I nodded my head, but deep inside I was disappointed. I did want to spend the day inside with Myungsoo, but if he wants to go be with Sungjong then I will let him go. I already agreed to go hang out with Kris anyways.

" Okay then. Well, I'm going to hang out with Kris today." He looked up from his plate and his eyes were cold.

" What? You are going to be with him for the whole day?"

" Yeah? I haven't hung out with him since he came here, and he sent me a text earlier." He finished eating his food, and he walked out of the kitchen.

" I'm going to get ready for my date with Sungjong."

" Oh, okay." I sat there by myself as I finished eating my food. After I was done, I placed my plate in the sink, and went to my room.

I looked into my closet, picked out a black jacket, a white v-neck shirt, and skinnies. Then I styled my hair down because I didn't want people to recognize me on the streets, and I made sure my scar was covered up a bit. After I checked myself in my mirror, I left my room, and at the same time Myungsoo came out of his room too. We both looked at each other, and I was a bit surprised at his outfit. He was wearing at blue plaid shirt, black skinnies, and high tops. He looked so good in something so simple, that I felt kind of embarrassed at my outfit.

" You look good." Myungsoo said that to me as he passed me, and I felt myself blushing. I was walking behind him, and we both left the place at the same time. Then as we were outside, we both stood there. We were probably waiting for the other person to leave, but something was making us not want to go. Though, Myungsoo was the first one to leave.

" Seeya then." He waved at me and I waved back. His back turned to me, and my hand was reaching out for him. I knew better though so I let my hand go limp.

Let him go Sungyeol. It's for the best.

I started walking to Paradise Café, and when I arrived I saw Kris already sitting down. He was staring out the window, and he was already drinking something. I was impressed with what he was wearing though. He was wearing a simple white button up shirt with jeans. I made my way to him and he saw me and waved me over.

" Hi Sungyeol! I already ordered your favorite- Americano!" I laughed at how excited he seemed, and took a sip out of my Americano.

" Thanks Kris! Tastes really good!" We started talking about random stuff, and when we finished drinking our drinks, we walked out of the café, and walked around the streets.

We would walk into these random stores, Kris would make me try on the randomest clothes, and we also ate ice cream! On a day like this, there is no way you can't have ice cream! Kris got vanilla while I got chocolate. We continued walking around, looking at what people were selling, and then all of a sudden I felt Kris's fingers on the side of my lips.

" Sorry, you got some ice cream there." I shyly smiled at him as he wiped it away for me. Then we saw this person selling these headbands, and Kris put one with a flower on me. I laughed at it, I picked out a pink one, and place it on his head. We both took out our phones, and took pictures together. We both laughed at the sight of us, and continued walking around. As we were went around the place, I saw two people I didn't want to see.

" Myungsoo and Sungjong." Kris must have heard me because he turned his head and saw them two. I looked at him and he was glaring at them. What caught my eyes though was what Myungsoo was carrying in his hand. It seemed like a present, and I bet it was for Sungjong. I could feel myself get all depressed, but I put on a smile because right now I was with Kris. I took his hand and we walked away from them.

" Kris, how about we go for a walk in the park?" He looked at me and nodded.

I led him through the park, and I felt his grip tighten on my hand. We kept walking in silence, and that was fine with me. I didn't mind the silence, and it was comfortable anyways. When I'm with Kris, I feel comfortable because he is a friend I can rely on. I was getting a bit tired from walking around so I led us to a bench and we both sat down.

" Sungyeol."

" Hm?"

" You like........You like Myungsoo right?" My head turned towards him and I was empty of words. I didn't know what to say so I just admitted it.

" It's not like.........I love him. But.......b-but......b-but........he will never feel the same way about me." I could feel the tears coming again, and right now in my mind I was punishing myself for being such a crybaby.

" I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't being crying like this. S-Sorry." Tears were falling, and they wouldn't stop. I didn't want to face the truth of Myungsoo not ever returning my feelings, but that was a fantasy. Then I felt myself pulled into an embrace, and I cried into his shoulder.

" Ssh. It's okay to cry. Cry your heart out. I'm here for you." Kris was patting my back, and I gripped onto his shirt. I let the tears fall silently, and I was glad the darkness was enveloping us, as the only source of light was the lamppost a few feet away. After I was done crying, I pulled myself away from him, and he wiped away the remaining tears.

" Thank you Kris."

" Anything for you. Now how about we get you home?" He held out his hand for me, and I took it. We both walked back to my house because the park wasn't that far away. We were finally at the entrance of my loft right in front of my door, and I have been yawning the whole time we were walking back. I was about to enter, but I felt somebody grab onto my wrist.

" Don't let him hurt you anymore." I turn my whole body to see Kris looking at me.

" What?"

" I said, don't let him hurt you anymore. You deserve somebody much better than him! Why are you always thinking about him! Everyday he is invading your head, and yet here I am watching you on the sidelines! Why can't you see me!? Forget him and look at me!"

" W-What are you saying, Kris?"

" God dang it! I'm saying I like you!" My eyes grew wide when I heard him confess to me.

" K-Kris, you know how I feel though."

" I know.......but please give me a chance, give us a chance. That's all I ask of you." I could feel guilt rising in me because I just realized I have been putting Kris into so much pain.

" Goodnight." I felt his lips on my forehead, and he left me standing there. My mind was blank as to whay he said to me, but my feelings couldn't be easily changed. Everyone knows that a person's feelings can't be changed so easily, but mine........mine won't ever be returned. I sighed and walked inside. Though I didn't expect to see Myungsoo standing right behind the door when I opened it.

" M-Myungsoo did you hear all of that?"

" I heard Kris confess to you.....that's all."

" O-Oh.....okay. I'm going to my room and sleep."

" Okay."

I passed by him as I made my way to my room. When I walked in though I saw a bag on my desk. I realized it was the bag Myungsoo was carrying with him when I saw him. I opened the bag, and it was one of the most beautiful things I ever saw. It was a glass music box, and when you opened it, there was a glass dove and glass raven dancing about. The music box was playing Kiss the Rain by Yiruma. Before I knew it I was shedding tears of happiness. When I saw that bag in his hand, I thought it was for Sungjong. I didn't expect for it to be for me. This was the first time I have shed tears of happiness over something like this. As the music box continued playing the music, I pulled it close to my heart, and closed my eyes.

The music was so soothing to my heart yet it still brought tears to my eyes. I have got so many presents since I was little, but this one, this one is by far my favorite. Something so little, yet so beautiful, has made me so happy. The ironic thing, this song is one of my favorite pieces by Yiruma. All these sort of feelings were soaring through my body, and I couldn't help but smile. The only thing I could do at this moment was smile as I held the music box close to my heart. Soon the music stopped, but I still kept it closed to my heart. The tears were still falling, my feelings were all over the place, but I kept on a smile.

How can I easily forget about a person like him? Such things he does like this make me fall for him even harder. I can't easily get rid of him from my heart, but if Myungsoo wishes to be with Sungjong............then I will let him go.
