A/N: Go back to Chapter 10 if you have not read it ^^

Junhyung’s POV

As much as I tried to take my eyes away from that seat, I just couldn’t. My eyes somehow found its way there and it hurts so bad seeing it still empty. Did she forget? Or did she never intend to come? Why didn’t she at least let me know? Why is she doing this to me?

“Junnie Hyung, are you okay?” Yoseob asked when we were backstage, preparing for our encore.

“I’m fine.” I said.

“Junnie Hyung, maybe something cropped up last minute.” He said, hugging me.

“What?” I asked.

“Her. You invited someone but she didn’t turn up, right? Maybe something cropped up last minute.” He said.

“Maybe.” I smiled

“We have to go.” Doojoon Hyung said.

“Yea. Let’s go. The show has to go on, right?” I smiled.

They nodded and we headed back up to stage.

When the song ‘Beautiful’ played, my heart sank. This song is meaningless when the person I want to sing for isn’t here. I stared at the seat and spaced out. I snapped out of it until I felt someone pinch my arm.

“Jun!” Doojoon hissed.

I was supposed to start the song, but I ended up spacing out. How great. The fans yelled like crazy. Yong Junhyung, with or without her, you cannot ruin the concert because of your personal reasons. She told you not to keep your hopes high. She told you beforehand. You were just too confident of yourself.

Beautiful my girl
My beautiful my girl and I
So beautiful my girl
In the cube
Ha ha girl
This is my confession
Drop that beat

Yea, this is my confession, but you’re not here. So what’s the point?

Oh listen to my heart
Listen to my heart
Even though no words can describe you
I will let you listen to my heart through my own style
Oh listen listen listen girl

The first time I saw you, I found you really rude, honestly. But now, I think it’s your charm. Am I going crazy?

Nothing better than you
If someone offers me the world
You you you you
I can’t trade it for you

I wouldn’t give up you for anything in the world. You may be rude, violent and simply mean towards me, I still wouldn’t give you up.

Hey baby girl everyday is so fun
Honestly I’m a bit scared, but no matter what anyone says,
I want

Nothing scares me more than you do. Your actions, the things you say, the way you behave, you just scare me real bad. I am afraid that I would offend you. I am afraid that I would make you hate me more.

So beautiful my girl
Oh oh girl oh oh girl
Even if time goes by
Compared to anyone else in the world
I will cherish you my girl I will give you my all
You U To you U
To oh oh

I know I forced this friendship onto you. But I am sincere. I may not be the best guy. But I’m sincere. I know I am not like other guys you may have met. But I am really sincere.

I can run to anywhere you are
I always think about you
Even more than now
I will love you more my girl
You you you my girl

I don’t know if you ever think about me, but I think about you every day. When I am resting, when I am practicing, even when I am facing you, my head is only filled with you, you, you and more you.

You, oh beautiful You, so beautiful
You, my beautiful
Nothing better than you
Oh beautiful You, so beautiful
You my beautiful

I heard the fans yell really loudly. Then Doojoon held onto my hand and squeezed it tight. Ah, what’s this? Am I crying? Why am I crying?

Don’t be shy girl
When you are having hard times, anytime I’ll be there
Come to me anytime and come into my arms
Just close your eyes and listen to my words
Oh listen listen listen girl

You hurt me real bad, do you know? But why do I still like you? Why are you doing this to me? Why? Why? Why?

Nothing better than you
No one can stop me
You you you you

There’s really no one better than you for me. I thought I was strong enough to withstand everything you throw at me. But this time, I’m really breaking down.

The way my heart feels towards you
I’m the one who wouldn’t regret
Using twenty-four hours in a day just for you
Just take my hand and fly

I’m willing to do everything for you. Is it not good enough? Why are you so mean? Why are you so bad? Why are you so hurting?

So beautiful my girl
You oh oh girl, You oh oh girl
Even if time goes by
Compared to anyone else in the world
I will cherish you my girl I will give you my all
You U To you U
To oh oh

“Junhyung, please don’t cry.” Doojoon Hyung whispered into my ears.

“Sorry, Hyung. I’m sorry. I really…” I ended up sobbing into his shoulders.

I can run to anywhere you are
I always think about you
Even more than now
I will love you more my girl
You you you my girl

So what if I cry? You aren’t coming. That’s final, I know. You aren’t going to give me a single chance, are you? You’re so mean. So, so, so mean.

You, oh beautiful
You, so beautiful
You, my beautiful
Nothing better than you

But still, in my eyes, you’re the most beautiful one. Even with that emotionless face, you’re still the most beautiful one.

Oh beautiful
You, so beautiful
You, my beautiful
Beautiful my girl

Tonight, I am not going to give out any flowers. Honestly, I have never gave anyone any flowers, I wanted my first one to be you, but you never came.

Make a love baby Just make a love
Feeling in my heart
So nice

I thought we could progress. I thought things would get better. But I guess you’re right, this isn’t going to last. I didn’t even make it to stage two. How pathetic.

So beautiful my girl
Oh oh girl Oh oh girl Even if time goes by
Compared to anyone else in the world
I will cherish you my girl I will give you my all
You U To you U
To oh oh

I can’t go on anymore. I can’t sing anymore. My heart hurts so much. It just hurts like crazy. See what you have done to me?

Even though you are far away I can feel you
I’m always dreaming about you
Even more than now
I will love you more my girl
You you you my girl

I’ll still love you. I’ll still smile at you. It’s not so easy to just give you up like this, you know?

You, oh beautiful
You, so beautiful
You, my beautiful
Nothing better than you

I dropped the mic and went to the back of the stage. I stared at the empty seat where you were supposed to sit. I chose it specially for you. Just you and you only.

Oh beautiful
You, so beautiful
You, my beautiful
Nothing better than you

My beautiful girl, where are you?

We thank the crowd and went back down. The boys hugged me tight. I lost it. I sobbed like a mad fellow. We aren’t even officially together, but why does it feel so painful already? I really hoped this is just a nightmare. Maybe I am too nervous. Someone wake me up.

“Junnie Hyung….” Kikwang pouted as he wiped my tears.

“It’s okay. I kind of expected it.” I said.

“But why does it still hurt?” I asked.

“Junhyung.” Someone called me. It was Seungho Hyung.

“Hyung.” I smiled.

“You okay?” He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Maybe something really cropped up! Ask her when you see her, okay?” He said.

“Okay.” I nodded. But I wasn’t going to ask. I already know her answer.

“Let’s go for food! Junnie Hyung, you make the choice!” Dongwoon said.

“Sorry guys. I have to go somewhere.” I said.

“Where?” Dongwoon pouted.

I kept quiet.

“Book store.” Seungho Hyung said.

“I just want to check to see if she’s alright.” I said softly.

“Go. You wouldn’t be able to sleep if you don’t go.” Doojoon Hyung said.

“Thank you, Hyung.” I said.

“Eat something. You haven’t eaten.” He said.

“I will.” I said as I ran off.

I took a look inside the book store. She wasn’t here yet. I looked at the time. It was close to 10.30PM. Usually she would be here already. Where did she go to today? I sat at the corner, near the bookstore, staring into the main road, looking at the cars go by.

Why am I doing this to myself?

“All because of you, I am late for work!” I heard someone shout. Out of curiosity, I turned over.

Is that Haneul? And who is that guy?

“What! You were buying that pullover and you were acting as thou you’ve never shopped before!” The guy said.

“It’s your fault!” She shouted.

Were they arguing?

“Fine! It’s my fault! Is it here!?” He shouted back.

How dare he shout at her? Who is he?

“YA!” She said, stopping outside the bookstore.

“Hey.” He took her hand.

“What?” She said, smiling. She’s smiling at him!?

“Be happy okay. I like my girl to smile.” He said, touching her face.

HIS GIRL? AND HE IS TOUCHING HER!?

“I will. But only if you’re here more often.” She said, hugging him.

SHE HUGGED HIM!?

“I’ll come when I can.” He said, planting a kiss on her forehead.

HE KISSED HER!?

“I really miss you.” She said, resting her forehead on his chest.

WHAT IS GOING ON!? She is attached?

Haneul’s POV

“I miss you too. I had so much fun today. Thank you.” Jace said.

“I should thank you. I had so much fun because of you. If you never came, I would just rot at home today.” I said.

“Skye, is that someone you know?” He suddenly asked.

“Who?” I asked, pulling away from him and turning back.

“He’s scary. Is he your friend?” He asked.

Junhyung was glaring at us. He looked kind of freaky because he was the only one standing in the middle of the street with dim lights. How come he looked so angry? How come I feel so weird? Did I forget something?

“Is he Yong Junhyung from Beast?” Jace asked.

“Yea.” I said, still looking at Junhyung.

“Do you know him?” He asked.

“I.. Erm.. Kind of.” I said.

“He looks pretty angry.” He said.

“I wonder why.” I mumbled.

Junhyung shook his head slightly and walked away. He threw the paper bag he was carrying near the bin nearby. And then suddenly, as thou someone slapped me hard across my face, I felt as thou I woke up. THE CONCERT!

“OH CRAP! JACE! I GOT TO GO! GO BACK FIRST OKAY? I’LL CALL YOU!” I said as I pushed him onto the cab.

“What’s going on!?” He asked.

“I forgot something really important. Pray for me, hope I don’t die or lose my friend. Love you! Bye!” I shut the door and ran after Junhyung.

“OUI!!!!” I shouted as I ran after him, but he seem to be walking really quickly.

“AGHHH!!! JUNHYUNG!!!” I finally caught his hand.

“Hi.” He said with a smile.

“Junhyung.. I…” I bit my lips, not knowing what to say.

“What is it?” He said. His expression looked force.

“Ah, don’t say anything. I don’t want to hear. I know what you’re going to say anyway. It’ll just make me feel ten times worse if I hear it from your mouth. I know your boyfriend came. He’s very handsome. I hope you had fun today.” He said. His words felt like daggers stabbing into my heart.

“It’s not that…” I said, but he cut me off.

“Don’t. Don’t say anything, please. I don’t want to know. It’s okay. You told me not to hold my hopes up high. I didn’t heed your advice. I thought you were just kidding, but then now I see the picture. You mean everything you say. You’ll never joke.” He smiled.

“No. Please..” I said, but he stopped me.

“It’s really okay. I just came to make sure you’re fine. You look great, so I’m happy. I had lots of fun today, I hope you did too. Maybe you should go back, your boyfriend is waiting.” He said.

“WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME!?” I shouted, feeling frustrated that he didn’t give me a chance to explain.

“THEN WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME!?” He shouted back. He has never raised his voice at me before.

“CAN’T YOU SEE MY EFFORTS!? I AM TRYING SO HARD TO MAINTAIN THIS FRIENDSHIP, BUT YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO BREAK IT! I KNOW I AM IRRITATING AND ALL, BUT DO YOU THINK I LIKE TO BE LIKE THIS!? I JUST WANT SOME ATTENTION FROM YOU! A TAD BIT WILL DO! BUT YOU’RE SO STINGY! SO SO SO STINGY! YOU WOULDN’T EVEN GIVE ME SOME!” He shouted into my face.

“Junhyung…” I held onto his arm, but he pushed me away.

“I know I shouldn’t be holding my hopes up high today. But I really thought that you would come. Even if you showed me a black face throughout the whole concert, I would be so happy if you came. I really would! But you didn’t show up. You didn’t even give me a call to tell me you aren’t coming. That’s like utter rudeness, you know? Not only that, it’s simply heartbreaking too. You just.. You just killed me, like that.” He said, smiling.

“But it’s okay. It really is. I’m good. By the way, you remember our bet? I told you that this friendship will last, and you said it wouldn’t. I said to bet, remember? Congratulations, you won.” He smiled.

I felt a pang in my heart. I really hurt him badly this time, didn’t I?

“You told me not to hold any hopes in this friendship. I guess I was too over confident. You’ve been trying so hard to prove it to me since Day one, but I just closed my eyes and did things my way. But today I saw it. I really did.” He said.

“Saw what?” I asked.

“I saw how important I am in your heart. My place in your heart is…. No. I don’t have a place at all. I don’t even belong there. I am nothing to you. I’m not important at all. I thought at least I could change your heart. But I saw it today. I can’t, and never would be able to.” He said.

“It’s not it…” I said.

“Ah, is it raining? Why is my face wet? I should go, you should too. Your boyfriend is waiting. Have fun. And since I lost the bet, I’ll never bother you again. Take care of yourself.” He said before hoping onto a cab.

He didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself. And, it wasn’t even raining. He was crying.

I watch the cab he boarded till it was out of sight. Then I walked back to the bookstore, feeling as guilty as ever. On the way back, I picked up the paper bag he threw away. I took out the contents when I was back in the bookstore. It was a red with big white polka dots hooded blanket and a mini hottie hand warmer. The design of the cover is white knitted with a light blue cloud in the middle. There was also a folded piece of paper inside.

Your blanket is too thin! Winter is coming, I know you hate the cold. I hope the blanket will be of good use, at home, in school and the bookstore. And the warmer, bring it everywhere you go, okay? It’s cute, isn’t it? I hope you’ll like it thou. Take good care of yourself when I am not around! If you miss me, you can call me! But I doubt you would :( But still, I’ll miss you!

Your friend, Junhyung

“Oh my god.” I mumbled to myself.

“How could you do this, Skye!?” I slapped myself.

His crying face kept appearing in my head. How could I forget? I have gone too far this time, I know it. I wrapped myself in the blanket and held the hand warmer tight in my hands. It was really warm.

My phone rang. I thought it would be Junhyung, but then I realize I didn’t have this number. It was Jace instead.

“Hey, you okay?” He asked.

“No. Jace, I’m so dead.” I said.

“Why?” He asked.

“He invited me to his concert today. I totally forgot about it. He gave me a backstage pass and a VIP ticket. Gosh, Jace, is this the end of our friendship?” I asked.

“You’re so dead, Girl! What are you doing still!? Go explain it to him!” He shouted.

“He wouldn’t listen.” I said.

“Make him listen!” He shouted.

“He cried.” I said.

“He what!?” He yelled.

“I know, I know! Ahh I can just bang the wall and kill myself. I am feeling so guilty now!” I said.

“He likes you.” He said.

“It cannot be. I am not even nice to him.” I said.

“Do you seriously think a guy would cry just because you didn’t attend the concert he invited you to? A normal guy wouldn’t glare at us like that. If eyes could kill, I would have died ten times. Trust me, he likes you. And oh my god, Girl! You never told me you know Yong Junhyung!” He shouted.

“It’s not the time to think about such stuff! You are not helping! Bye!” I said, hanging up.

He sent me a text message; Fix it.

Seungho’s POV

“Seungho Hyung.” Junhyung called out when I answered the phone.

“Oh my god. What happened to your voice? Where are you!?” I shouted.

“At the lobby of your dorm.” He said.

“I’m coming!” I shouted.

I ran down, not even bothering to change. I saw him, sitting at a corner, staring into space.

“What happened!?” I hugged him

He sobbed into my shoulder. I’ve never seen him cry so badly ever since many years ago. He must be feeling very lousy.

“Shh shh. It’s okay, it’s okay.” I said, rubbing circles onto his back.

“I saw her..” He said.

“Then?” I asked.

“She was really happy. With another guy. Her boyfriend! I saw them kiss!” He choked out.

“I’m sorry.” I said, hugging him tighter.

“I yelled at her. I shouted at her. She must be feeling so angry now. Everything is over. This friendship is over. Seungho Hyung, I’m so horrible!” He cried.

“No no! You’re not!” I said, clenching my fists.

“I am! But Hyung, I really tried! I thought I could change things, but I couldn’t! At the end of the day, I still lost. Why, Hyung? Why? I really put in the effort! I really did! But why did things turn out like this!?” He cried even louder.

“Shhh shhh.. Please don’t cry. Please.” I said.

“I really tried. I’m so tired! I can’t even breathe anymore! I feel so suffocated. I’m sincere. I really am. But why? I'm not angry. How can I be angry with her? I'm just.. Really, really disappointed.” He mumbled in between his sobs.

He cried so hard that he fell asleep on my lap. I called Doojoon to come bring him back. I know I shouldn’t be interfering with his stuff, but that girl is really mean. How could anyone do this to someone else? She broke his sincere heart. How could she do this to him?

“What happened?” Doojoon arrived awhile later.

He pushed Junhyung’s hair aside and frowned at his tear-stained face. I told him everything and he seemed really angry.

“Bring him back. I have to go somewhere.” I said.

“How could anyone do this? Seriously!” He said.

I help him put Junhyung on his back and into the car.

“Call me when you reach home.” I said.

“Okay. Thanks, Hyung.” He said before driving off.
