chapter 18: best of friends
We Found Love
best of friends
Yong Hwa is busy strumming his guitar, when his mother went inside his room.
Yong Hwa: mom! Don’t you know how to knock? (he said annoyed)
Mom: don’t use that tone to me Yong Hwa. So what if I don’t knock?
Yong Hwa: Tss.. that’s why I don’t like staying here. (he mumbled)
Mom: you! You should stay here often. Yes. We agreed you to have your own condo but it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t go home. This is still your home Yong Hwa.
Yeah. Yong Hwa lives on his own, but every weekends or holidays, his parents requires him to spend his days to his family, in which he gladly oblige. But not all the time, since his mother, who always love to invade his personal life.
Yong Hwa: mom! I’m not a kid okay?
Mom: you—aiiggoo! Just fix yourself. We having a dinner with the Parks. (he finishes)
Yong Hwa: Parks? (he repeated)
Mom: yes. They already in their way to the restaurant. So better be ready.
.
.
.
Mrs. Jung: oohh! We’re sorry, are we late? (she smiled sweetly towards the Park’s whom sitting in the long table)
Yong Hwa scan the whole dining area, his eyes want to see someone, and of course it was no other than Shin Hye, whom, just like the usual dinners he spent with her family, she always been out of the picture, like she was not part of their family.
Yong Hwa: good evening Mr. Park, Mrs. Park (he greeted)
Seohyun on the other hand, was smiling so brightly to him.
Seohyun: good evening Yong—(she greeted)
But Yong Hwa just nodded to him.
Yong Hwa: where’s Shin Hye? (he asks just to annoyed them, though answer is really obvious)
Mrs. Park: (she frowned upon hearing her name but smiles as she looks at Yong Hwa) she’s busy though.
Yong Hwa: I see. (he nodded, not convince)
Mrs. Park: shall we order now? (she flashes her sweetest smile)
Mrs. Jung: of course.
Yong Hwa: Ohh! (as he pretended to look at his wrist watch) I forgot something! I have my important appointment now. (he said not minding the elders who seems not please on what he did)
Seohyun: can it just wait? (she said)
Yong Hwa: I’m sorry but this is urgent and more important. (he smiles as he walks away)
.
.
.
Yong Hwa: just park the car there. (he said to the taxi driver) here (as he handed his payment)
Taxi driver: thank you.
Yong Hwa wa about to close his wallet, when he saw the most interesting and most important thing inside of his wallet, it was Shin Hye’s stolen shot, she was looking at something for a far, yet her smiles were genuinely pure and innocent.

Yong Hwa smiles on that photo.
Taxi driver: is that you’re girlfriend sir? she’s pretty.
Yong Hwa: (smiled) she really is. (he bowed and open’s the taxi door)
He smiled once more upon looking at the window of Shin Hye’s room, it was still open, he knows that she was still awake and hurriedly he went inside.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, Shin Hye was busy reading in her bed, while she was listening to the music in her ipod, her eyes accidentally landed on her side table, she found their photo pictures altogether. Her friends and her photo together with Yong Hwa only. She smiled. There is a picture of her and Yong Hwa when they still a kid.

Yong Hwa: I look so handsome there right? (he asks as he lied on the bed)
Shin Hye: YAH!!! You scared me! (she hissed as she hit him hard)
Yong Hwa: Awww… (he smiled)
Shin Hye: what are you doing here? You have a family dinner right?
Yong Hwa: I’m bored. You’re not there just why I went home.
Shin Hye: and since when this become your home?
Yong Hwa: you’re here so this is my home (he said half smiling and half laughing but deep inside he was damn serious)
Shin Hye: Tsss…
Yong Hwa: have you eaten?
Shin Hye: (nodded)
Yong Hwa: I’m famished.
Shin Hye: you want to eat? I cook for you.
Yong Hwa: (smiled big) okay.
.
.
.
Shin Hye: here you go! (as she handed the food in his front)
Yong Hwa: whoah! Is this tasty?
Shin Hye: Tss.. you—
Yong Hwa: hey! Hey! I’m just asking quit hitting me! (he laughed) okay let’s eat. (as he started digging in) it’s tasty. (he said)
Shin Hye: thanks (as she enjoyed watching him eating)
Yong Hwa: why don’t you eat with me?
Shin Hye: I’m good.
Yong Hwa: tsss.. that’s why you’re really thin. (he pursed his lips)
Shin Hye: Tss.. (rolled eyes)
Yong Hwa: you should eat more. Here (as he offered his chopstick full of meat) eat.
Shin Hye: Yah! I’m still full!
Yong Hwa: eat this! (he insisted)
Shin Hye sighed as she opens and eat the food.
Yong Hwa chuckled, as he saw a stain in her side of lips, quickly he wipes it, making Shin Hye startled.
Yong Hwa: such a messy eater. (he commented, ruffling her hair)
Shin Hye on the other hand, didn’t react, she was shocked from it, but why right? Yong Hwa was always been like this to her, but something inside her circulate, she can’t point it out yet it gives a strange butterfly flies feeling in her stomach. To hide her reaction she cleared as she smiled.
The next day:
IU was in her usual poker face, as she went inside of Wooyoung’s house. Her eyebrows rose as she saw him topless only wearing his board short, his muscles were well defined, abs shouting and his shoulder flex in every movement he made, though he was seating comfortably in their couch, as he was busy playing with his PlayStation.
Wooyoung: Woohh! (he shouted as he wins the game his head automatically turns in the door, and saw IU standing there) oohh! You’re here! (he said)
IU: obviously! (she rolled her eyes, she looks away, she was bothered to his posture) You’re mom called, asking me to accompany you. (she said, not looking at him)
Wooyoung: (smirked) is that so? What she asks by now?
Yeah. Wooyoung’s mom loves asking favour to IU, in which IU can’ decline. But from their parent’s point of view, it was their only way to make IU and Wooyoung be at good state again. All they wanted is to make them friends again, in which is completely impossible. Though they have an idea about it, but completely shrug it off.
IU: she asks me to accompany you to the client for her upcoming birthday. (still not looking at him)
Wooyoung: oohh! Okay.
IU: (she nodded not looking at him)
Wooyoung: okay I’ll just change. Wait here (he said smirking, he sense how uncomfortable she was)
.
.
.
Wooyoung: is this all? (He smiled to the salesclerk)
IU just rolled her eyes as she saw how flirtatious Wooyoung was in front of the salesclerk. They been here for a half hour, waiting for the jewelleries that his mother ordered. She decided to seat far from them, since she can’t stand them doing nothing but to flirt.
Wooyoung: Do you think it will took so long? (he said using his flirtatious voice)
Salesclerk: (giggles)
IU rolled eyes for the nth time. not wanting to see this scene.
Wooyoung: is this good? (as he handed the brochure in the salesclerk asking for something inside it)
Salesclerk: yes sir this is pretty.
Wooyoung: give me one. All sets of colours you have.
Salesclerk: All sir?
Wooyoung: yes. (he smiled) and give me this design, please wrap this one today and the other’s well—hmm.. I just drop by for another day.
IU just look at them, her eyes rolling nonstop, she made herself busy reading the magazine in her hand. All her attention was diverted to the cars in her front, most specially to the red sports car, she didn’t realized that the magazine she was holding was the newest out magazine for the branded cars.
She sighed, why she looking at this anyway? As she was about to put it down, Wooyoung got the magazine she was holding.
Wooyoung: what are you looking at? (he asks as he seated right next to her and got the magazine in her hand) wow. This the latest sports car (his eyes twikle)
She winced, aside from being flirtatious, she knows how Wooyoung loves collecting cars of course, she saw how huge their garage was! It’s all Wooyoung’s collection of cars.
Wooyoung: Hmmm—(as he was seriously looking at the cars) what do you think about this? (he asks, it was the same red sports car that IU’s been looking earlier)
IU’s eyes widened as he saw she was just staring him. She cleared .
IU: it’s fine. And what do I know about cars anyway?
Wooyoung: Yeah. Yeah. (he said) after this, let’s eat. I’m starving. And do you have any place want to go right after? Bookstore perhaps? (he asks eyes still on the magazine)
IU: anywhere will do. (she answered)
Wooyoung: alright! We eat first and go to the bookstore. Do you have any dress to wear in mom’s birthday? Do you want to buy now?
IU: tsss… so many plans for this day are we?
Wooyoung: of course! I just want to make this day worth it. Afterall it’s our date (he winks)
IU: what date? This is not a date!
Wooyoung: okay. friendly date then
IU: we’re not friends! (she hissed)
Wooyoung seems offended but quickly hide it by smiling.
Salesclerk: Sir (as she called Wooyoung)
Wooyoung quickly got up and went to the clerk.

Meanwhile:
Jiyeon was waiting for the bus in the waiting station, her both hands inside the pocket, as she keeps tiptoeing, as she looks to the bus.
Jiyen: gosh! I’m late by now. (she said looking at her wristwatch)
She almost jump when she saw a bus near her sight, delighted she quickly half runs on it, with all smiles, she greeted the driver in exchange he greet her.
Jiyeon was walking inside the bus, looking for her seat, when accidentally a passenger stretch his legs causing her to trip on him and loss balance. She almost kissed the bus flooring! Annoyed. She rolled her eyes as she breathe her bangs.
Jiyeon: Yah! Can you just put your feet in the right place. (she said.)
The man stretch more as he looks at her almost half awake. He smirked.
Myungsoo: what is it?
Jiyeon: I said your feet, someone got trip because of it.
Myungsoo: is that so?
Jiyeon: Mwo? Is that so? At least say sorry mister! (she demanded)
Myungsoo smirked, he even smiled at her teasingly.
Jiyeon’s eyes narrowed. Due to Jiyeon’s annoyance, she step his feet so hard making him winced. Hurriedly, she seated right next to the back just like there is no happened, just like she didn’t step someone’s feet.
Myungsoo, winced in pain, he groaned as he glared Jiyeon, in which in return Jiyeon looks at him mockingly. Very Jiyeon when you pushed her button.

Meanwhile:
Nanny Seo: Miss Suzy, please wake up someone is looking at you in the living room.
Suzy: (who’s still asleep, groaned. She switches her position)
Nanny Seo: Miss—
Soohyun: just let me wake her up. (he said smiling)
The young maid nodded blushing.
Soohyun knock on her door, before twisting the doorknob that is not locked. He slowly entered her room, roaming around, and all he saw was nothing but pink colour. From her wall paint up to her bed covers, designs and even lampshade. It was shouting by the pink shade. He laughed a little.
He walks slowly still looking around, he saw picture frames hanging on the wall, it was their friends minus him of course, if he wasn’t mistaken anything, it as the picture of them last, last summer, when all of them decided to go on the out of town trip but of course he wasn’t there. Since he was still in the U.S at that time. There is a separate photo frame of her, Jiyeon and IU. Her photo with her older brother but one thing catches all his attention, it was Suzy solo picture, and she was smiling so brightly on it.it was taken in a beach. Smiled crept on his face.

Suzy: I’m not! (she shouted)
Making Soohyun turns his head to her, she sleep talks, he laughed a little. Slowly, he went on her side, as he stares to her. She was lying peacefully in her pink bed, she hugging a huge pink pillow, as her face made a lot of facial expression in one time.
Suzy: Soohyun (she whispers)
Soohyun’s eyes widened upon hearing her saying his owned name.
Suzy: pabo! (she added)
Soohyun chuckled. And an idea pop out on his head as he made his devilishly plan at all.
WANG! WANG! WANG!! WANG!!
Suzy: ohh my god! Oh my god! (she shouted, she almost lose her balanced and pulled off on the bed, eyes widened, she stood up like she don’t know what to do.)
Soohyun: HAHAHAHAHA!!! (he burst out laughing)
Suzy turns her head, and found him there, seating comfortably in her one-seater couch, her eyes narrowed realizing his prank he done to her.
Soohyun: good morning sleepy head. (he said smiling)
Suzy: YAAAHH! (she shouted)
Soohyun: now you’re awake.
Suzy: what are you doing here? (she said annoyed)
Soohyun: picking you up? Remember?
Suzy: YAAHHH! Get out of my room!!! (she shouted more)
.
.
.
Suzy was walking towards the dining, still annoyed from what Soohyun did, she was walking fast, on the other hand, Soohyun was tailing her, smiling coolly.
Suzy: don’t follow me! (she hissed rolling her eyes)
Soohyun: and where do you want to me to cross outside your house? Is there any other exit? (he said innocently)
Suzy: shut up! (she hissed)
Mr. Bae: Suzy are you not going to eat?
Suzy: (eyes widened) d-daddy? (surprised seeing her dad in their house)
Mr. Bae: (as he saw soohyun went out on her daughter’s back) oohh..
Soohyun: annyeong Mr. Bae (he greeted)
Mr. Bae: you didn’t even invite your visitor for a breakfast. Join us Soohyn-ssi. Let’s eat first.
.
.
.
Mr. Bae: I heard, you handling some of your fathers business? (he asked in the middle of their breakfast)
Soohyun: yes sir.
Mr. Bae: wow. So impressive. And you do good in studies too? How can you manage that? I’m impressed.
Soohyun: (smiled)
Mr. Bae: how lucky your parent’s were. Having a very reliable son like you.
Soohyun just smiled faintly.
On the other hand, Suzy rolled her eyes, by just looking at Soohyun who acted formal in front of her father she really wanted to throw up.
Mr. Bae: you should really have this kind of friends Suzy (he said sternly) for you to be useful as a daughter (he said)
Suzy was offended by her own father’s words. She looks down, restraining herself from crying.
Soohyun: (who looking at her and notice her sudden switching of mood) she is good on her own Sir. (he said) she’s good in singing and some sorts of things. If you didn’t know. (he said, making Suzy looks up)
Suzy didn’t expecting it, he, saying those good things about her. He defending her.
Soohyun on the other hand smiled at her.
Mr. Bae: is that so? But what is good on it, if she can’t even handle a single business, being my only heir? What a waste.
Soohyun: she’s still young sir, I think in time she can handle it. (he added)
Suzy becomes teary, not because of her father’s judgement towards her, but because of how Soohyun defended her in front of her own father.
Mr. Bae: (smiled) stop calling me sir, Soohyun, just uncle okay. You almost a family. you better thank your friend. For defending your s. (he said in hard tone)
Suzy nodded her head.
Soohyun: (smirked)

IU was about to go out in Wooyoung’s car when Wooyoung stops her from going.
Wooyoung: Hey! Wait. (as he get something from the backseat) here.
IU: (eyes narrowed same how her eyebrows furrowed) what is this?
Wooyung: paper bag? (he said innocently)
IU: I know. I’m not blind, what I mean why you giving me this?
Wooyoung: thank you gift? For accompanying me?
IU: tss.. I didn’t done this for you, but auntie asks so.
Wooyoung: ouucchh! Can you at least be gentle? (he half laughed)
IU: whatever (she rolled eyes, she was about to go out the car, leaving his gift behind)
Wooyoung: Hey! (as he stops her) just accept this… please… (his voice is somewhat different from his usual tone)
IU: (stared at him for a while, surprised seeing his reaction) fine.
Wooyoung smiled brightly, like he wins something.
Wooyoung: wear that on mom’s birthday okay? Find something fitted on that.
IU: yeah. Yeah. (in her bored tone) thanks (she said)
Wooyoung: YESS!! (he seems very happy, he even punch on air)
On the other hand, IU smiled unconsciously, since when the last time she accepted his gift? It’s been so long. So long, long time ago.
Since that day, when they stop being friendly to each other, when they started parting apart. She never accepted gifts when it comes from him, whether it is a Christmas gift, birthday or even when he was the one he pick during exchange gifts, she denied and never accepted any gifts.
But this day, it’s different and she can’t even understands why.
