The Root
Are You Mine?I was sending Taec off from my apartment one day after lunch when Hyunah appeared at my doorstep.
"Babe! I didn't know you were visiting!" I greeted her. I had not seen her for some time since I had been busy working. I let Hyunah into my apartment while leading Taec out of there. He was late for work anyway.
Hyunah and Taec greeted each other politely. Before I closed the door, Taec stole a sweet kiss from me.
Back in the apartment, Hyunah gave me a concerned look and asked. "Are you and Taec seriously back together?"
I nodded as I cleared the dishes on the dining table.
"Great! And to think I actually fought for you that you did not cheat on Sungbin." Hyunah said and that surprised me.
"No.. I never cheated on Sungbin. Taec and I got together after we broke up." I then realized I did not tell Hyunah the whole story. I only told her the fabricated one of me and Sungbin calling it quits long ago and were just friends for a while now. But where did she get the story that I cheated on Sungbin with Taec?
"Sungbin told me a long time ago he had a feeling you were going to cheat on him with Taec and I still remembered laughing at him for saying that. Now that I see that lovey-dovey exchange you had with Taec, well, maybe he was right after all."
"A long time ago? Like what? Months ago?" I asked Hyunah."But what made him think that? I only know he was mad when I went out with Taec and the JYP gang weeks ago."
Hyunah paused for a moment and then she said . "I don't know.. sigh.. maybe long ago when Jay told him about how Taec used to be so in love with you and ....maybe ..just maybe...I added more worry when I spilled to Sungbin that incident about your "miss you too" accidental text to Taec."
"You what? When was this?" I demanded
"I don't know. It's either your birthday or Steve's birthday. I know I was really drunk I kept laughing and spilled that funny incident how you text to the wrong guy. I did tell Sungbin you cleared it up to Taec the text was accidental but the fact that Taec text you first about missing you... I guess Sungbin was most sensitive about that." Hyunah then palmed her forehead. "Oh god. That must have catapult this whole break-up! I mean, I didn't know you guys broke up badly until I found out recently from Sungbin. Yub, why didn't you tell me earlier? " Hyunah let it all out.
"I don't want everyone's friendship with one another ruined over our break-up." I sighed.
"Babe, I can't believe you hid it from me. I thought we were close!" Hyunah then added. " And you should at least try to understand from Sungbin side. Maybe things wouldn't have gone this way."
"Did he brain-wash you? Do you not know about his new German girlfriend?" I knew among my girl pals, Hyunah was closest to Sungbin and she hardly took sides between me and Sungbin but it sure felt like she was on his side now.
"No, he did not brain wash me. And yes, I know about his new German squeeze but I think you did kind of pushed him to her! You were hanging out with Taec despite Sungbin's opposition. Yub, I'm not taking sides. I'm looking at things from both sides. I was out with Sungbin and the boys for drinks recently and he was a mess. He's like all "Love and Hate" over you."
