My dear subscribers, I have the stomach flu, so i'm not sure if I will be able to update two chapters like I have been. Please be patient with me, and for now just enjoy chapter 7!

Jiyeon P.O.V

I woke up the next morning, only to notice that I was hugging something that wasn’t my Winnie the Pooh teddy bear. I didn’t want to open my eyes, because if I did, I would regret everything.

“good morning.” He said, bright eyed, it was obvious that he had been staring at me for some time now.

“good morning…ahhh!!” I quickly separated from his embrace. I knew we were in that position, but I didn’t want him to think that I liked it.

“aish! Calm down! I know you love it when we cuddle.” He winked and made his way out of bed.

“I think it’s time for you to go…” how do I get rid of him! Aish Yoseob is going to be here any minute!

“why?”

“I have a date…” Yah jiyeon, PABO! Why would you tell him that! i gave myself a mental fist to my head.

“oh…really?” he managed to let out. “With who?” did her really need to ask that question?

“ummm…with Yoseob. We are spending the day together, and then we are going to the dance tonight.”

“oh, so I’ll see you there. I should get going anyways, I have to pick IU up in 2 hours, we are going on our first date!”

“ahhh…really? Yay..” why did this hurt me so much? “well then I’ll see you later maybe? Have fun.” I forced a smile and pushed him out of my room, down the stairs, and out the door.

Once the door was shut I leaned against it, and fell. After everything we went through last night…does he really not see me in front of him?

Kikwang’s P.O.V

So she’s meeting him. I wonder what their relationship is? Aish! I hit myself in the head. “Ahhh she’s probably lying, Yoseob really wouldn’t go after her, he knows better. She’s probably trying to make me jealous.” I said to myself…people must have thought I was crazy for talking to myself, because I managed to get a lot of weird looks. This is getting ridiculous. As I was walking towards the park I bumped into a familiar torso. It was Yoseob. She wasn’t lying, they really were spending the day together. He looked at me with shocked eyes.

“hey what are you doing on this side of the city? Isn’t your house 2 blocks away?”

‘hmmm should I play with him?’ I thought… Yes would be the answer. “I spent the night with Jieyon. I smirked as he tightened his fist.

“What there is no way? She wouldn’t forgive you that easily?”

“you would be surprise. When you’re friends with someone for 15 years, you forgive easily. Besides, I’m sure you wouldn’t want her staying in that big house by herself, I did you a favor! No need to thank me. I’m off to meet my hot girlfriend.” Haha his face. It looks like he is about to cry. Should I stop now? Hmmm, no, this serves him right for going after Jiyeon even though I told him not to.

Before I passed him, he grabbed my arm.

“I swear, if you make her cry one more time I will hurt you. Let her go, and let her come to me; stop playing with her heart please.” Why did his words make me want to punch him? How could I ever let go of Jiyeon? Besdies I’m not even romantically involved with her…I can’t be, even if I wanted to….

“It’s not me who you should be worried about, I have a girlfriend. She’s the one whose unstable; seems like she can’t get enough of me, more than just friendship that’s for sure.” That’s too harsh Kikwang. I think you took it a little to far, if Jiyeon heard what would she…

“BWOH? Unstable? More than just friendship? Why are you making up lies now? Why are you saying these things? I have been chasing you for the past 10 minutes to return your scarf, but I guess your haughtiness can keep you warm. And to think, I wanted to forgive you.” My eyes widened, I turned around and saw her standing there. Crap, what did I get myself into now?

“ani, I didn’t mean it like..” I managed to say before she interrupted.

“WELL WHAT DID YOU MEAN IT LIKE? Is there any other way to take what you said and make it sound alright? I don’t know who ever told you that you could ever talk like that and get away with it, but I’m sick of it. Come on Yoseob. you were right last night. I’m sorry I’m not ready for our date, come inside and wait as I get changed” She said, my heart felt like she was slowly ripping it apart. I couldn’t move, the pain from my chest made me want to break down right there on the street. She grabbed his hand-another sharp pain- and led him towards her house. They disappeared- another sharp pain. What was happening?

When I finally found my strength, I began walking home. But I couldn’t help but imagine all the things they could be doing all alone in that big house. Heck, I was her bestfriend, and yet I couldn’t resist looking at her as she changed. Here is a guy who is trying to win her heart, what if he takes advantage of her. !

Jiyeon’s P.O.V

Kikwang had just left, and I began pulling out outfit choices for the day, but then I found a red scarf laying on my floor. It wasn’t mine, so it must have been K’s. I was running out of time until my date, but if I missed this opportunity, then I would have to give the scarf back tonight in front of IU, and all of these questions would arise. It would be better to nip it in the as soon as possible. I ran out my house, and headed towards the way to his neighborhood. Hopefully he wasn’t walking fast, because I couldn’t afford to sweat before my date. As I was nearing the corner, I saw what looked like a fight. But the difference between me and the other bystanders watching this debacle, was that I knew the two men really well. Could this be a battle to win my heart? Was Kikwang for real when he said everything last night? The only way to tell was if I hid somewhere and listened to the conversation.

“I swear, if you make her cry one more time I will hurt you. Let her go, and let her come to me; stop playing with her heart please.” Wahh I never knew Yoseob cared about me this much. Ahh this is refreshing. How is Kikwang going to retaliate?

“It’s not me who you should be worried about, I have a girlfriend. She’s the one whose unstable; seems like she can’t get enough of me, more than just friendship that’s for sure.” BWOH? ME? is this a** hole serious? I couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“BWOH? Unstable? More than just friends? Why are you making up lies now? Why are you saying these things? I have been chasing you for the past 10 minutes to return your scarf, but I guess your haughtiness can keep you warm. And to think, I wanted to forgive you.” I just wanted to slap him right there, but I loved him to much to bring down his pride. But maybe that is what he needed.

“ani, I didn’t mean it like..”

“WELL WHAT DID YOU MEAN IT LIKE? Is there any other way to take what you said and make it sound alright? I don’t know who ever told you that you could ever talk like that and get away with it, but I’m sick of it.. Come on Yoseob. you were right last night. I’m sorry I’m not ready for our date, come inside and wait as I get changed.” I grabbed Yoseob’s hand and held it tight; I led him to my house, never looking back. Looking back would show a sign of weakness, and I was tired of giving into Kikwang.

The way back to my house was awkward. I was still holding Yoseob’s hand, but we weren’t talking. I guess there were no words to break the ice, I mean put yourself in his position, the girl he likes was basically just called easy by her best friend, how is he supposed to react?

“Yoseob?”

“yeah.”

“please don’t judge me based on Kikwang’s assumptions. I’m really nothing like what he describes.”

“ara. He just wants to justify his reasons for “not” liking you. No one could ever change my view of you, don’t worry.” He patted my head and ruined my hair. I laughed it off. We finally reached my house and I led him inside.

“here, you can sit here while I get ready! I promise it won’t take me too long, then I’ll give you the grand tour.”

“okay.” He said. he tried to absorb the house as he saw it, but it was just too much to handle. I hoped he didn’t think he was getting to ahead of himself.

I walked upstairs towards my room, as I reached my drawer to grab an undershirt, I saw the picture that Kikwang was holding not too long ago. Things really could change in a matter of hours, but I would have never expected my friendship to end in a day. Was that how much our friendship meant to him, that he could just do that and expect everything to return back to the way it was with just an apology. I put the photo down and changed into a pretty dress with Jeffrey Campbell heels. As I walked downstairs I saw Yoseob glance at me, his expression was reassuring, when I looked into his eyes I felt like everything I had just went through disappeared, and the only people who were left were me and him.

Yoseob’s P.O.V

As I was walking to Jiyeon’s house for our date, I couldn’t help but see a familiar figure walking this way. Like the shadow from last night, there was something odd going on, and I wanted to know what it was. As the person came closer, everything started to make sense. Kikwang. Couldn’t he just give up already? I was getting tired of having to fight for Jiyeon’s love, couldn’t he just giver her to me, he doesn’t care for her as much as I do? We managed to get into a brawl in the middle of the sidewalk, he was basically calling MY Jiyeon a , it took me every strength I had to not kick his a** right there.

“I swear, if you make her cry one more time I will hurt you. Let her go, and let her come to me; stop playing with her heart please.” I told him, getting annoyed with his stupid games.

“It’s not me who you should be worried about, I have a girlfriend. She’s the one whose unstable; seems like she can’t get enough of me, more than just friendship that’s for sure.” WHAT? I was about to answer him when Jiyeon appeared out of nowhere. After that everything seemed like a blur except for the part when she grabbed my hand and forced me to walk away with her.

She was holding my hand, and for the first time, I knew she was safe. She was safe in my embrace and I didn’t want to let go of this moment. She led me inside and promised to get ready as soon as she could. I didn’t mind waiting for her. She was worth it. As I was sitting in her living room, waiting for her entrance, I couldn’t help but notice that a majority of her family photos had Kikwang in them. Were they really that close? In some, you could barely even see Doojoon, her real brother! But it didn’t bother me anymore, because Kikwang had just managed to ruin all chances of them ever forming a relationship. I saw her reflection through the mirror, and looked behind me. She was beautiful.
