What's Up With You?
Your Loss Is My GainEunJi's POV:
"I love you EunJi."
"What?" I stared at him. His facial expression was serious; there wasn't any sign of this being a joke. I still waited for a 'just kidding!' or something along that line, but there wasn't' any. Those dark brown orbs continued watching me.
"There, I finally told you. I love you EunJi. I love you more than L.Joe could. Why can't you see that already?" Minwoo grabbed my hands as he asked me that.
"Minwoo...I don't know how to respond to that." I looked down, avoiding locking eyes. This must be some kind of sick joke. Where's Jeongmin?! He must be planning this.
"EunJi-ah, I have one last thing to tell you." he softly spoke.
"What is it?"
"How's my acting?" that cute smile slowly made its way on his face. He released my hands and leaned back on his seat. "It's been a while since I acted. I wanted to see if I still could. Did you fall for it?"
Of course I did you big idiot! Who wouldn't fall into your trap when you're looking at them so lovingly? When you hold their hands and gently them with your thumb. When you confess to them in a loving manner, in a frickin' warm café during the cold winter! What kind of question was that?! Finally, I nodded with a faint smile. "Are you going to try to act again?"
"I don't know. I'm too busy with Boyfriend. I'd like to play the lead male in future music videos though."
"That's great. Can you excuse me for a second? I'm going to the washroom." I didn't wait for his response, I just left. I calmly walked to the comfort room. I approached a mirror and faked a smile. It was obvious I was forcing myself. That was when the tears started. Minwoo you're the biggest dummy I ever met. Why would you play with my feelings?! I kicked the trash can nearby, pouring its contents out.
"Dongsaeng, what's wrong?! Why are you crying? Why does it look like someone killed that bin...?" a familiar voice questioned. I heard footsteps rushing to my side. Soon there was a pair of hands over my shoulders. "I come in here and all I hear is weeping. Why are you crying EunJi?"
"Hye-Jin unnie..." I managed to say between sobs. "It's a real long story. Do you still want to hear it?"
"I have time. My manager isn't going to come in here and drag me out of my 'business'. I'm all ears." she smiled encouragingly.
I shared everything, leaving no details out. It did take a while with multiple breaks because of occasional breakdowns. Nonetheless, I told Hye-Jin my story. All about how I overheard his and Donghyun's conversation, how Minwoo took me to a Teen Top concert, how I met L.Joe and got his number, the first time I called someone oppa, how I accidently kissed my best friend. "Man, this is what I've been waiting for! A tragic love-story! Damn, your life should become a book!" she shouted in enthusiasm.
"That doesn't really make me feel better unnie..." I told her while wiping away remaining tears.
"Sorry...hey, your make-up isn't smudged!" she pointed out.
"Well maybe that's because I don't wear make-up..."
"Oh..." Hye-Jin cursed something under her breath about her being stupid or something. She then started trying to think of something else to say. Her face immediately brightened when she snapped. "That means you're a bare-face beauty!"
"A what?"
"A bare-face beauty! It's someone who's naturally beautiful without make-up. It's very rare now a day. I'm sure any guy would love to date a bare-faced!" Hye-Jin grabbed a handkerchief to wipe away my tears. "I'd date you if I was a guy. Does that make you feel better, or awkward?"
"A bit of both...Thanks unnie."
"No problemo. Now rinse your face with cold water and come outside. I'm sure Minwoo's feeling lonely." her eyes slowly became bigger. "CRAP-A-LACK! Damn, I'm so sorry EunJi! I shouldn't have mentioned his name!"
"It's fine." I lightly chuckled, "You have a problem with your language don't you?"
"Just a bit." she gave me a visual of how big her problem was with her thumb and index finger. We laughed.
I came outside to find Minwoo sleeping. Seeing him so at ease made me softened. "I forgive you Minwoo-ah." I whispered to him. I honestly don't think he was toying with my feelings, but he's just terribly
