The Flower Boy's Advice

Downing Today, Drowning Tomorrow

'Wait, what?' Song Joong Ki says, somehow unable to believe his ears. 'Jihyo? Jihyo-nooa?' He says. 

'Yeah.'

'You're lying.'

'I'm not.' Lee Kwang Soo tries to convince him. He told him what happened before,  he told him about sleeping with Jihyo, about how Jihyo told him to make her fall in love with him, every single thing without sparing any detail. At first, Joong Ki could not believe it himself, but as time progresses and he explained it thoroughly, Joong Ki could finally understand. 

'Ji Hyo-noona, she's beautiful isn't she?' He says, leaning backwards after listening to what Kwang Soo has to say. 'Anybody would have fallen in love with her. She has everything that a guy wants.' Song Joong Ki says, somehow solemnly. 

'You used to like her, didn't you, Joong Ki?' Kwang Soo asked. 

He shrugged. 'It was more like a noona kind of crush, I never thought of the idea that she was mine. But you had her, you spent a night with her, you should be proud of yourself.' Song Joongki remarks. 

'At first, I didn't feel proud of myself. I thought as if I violated her.' He says. 

'You were both drunk though.'

'I was not supposed to drink.' Kwang Soo says, somehow a hint of sadness was there. 'I was supposed to protect her, but noona convinced me otherwise, telling me that it was not my fault. I still thought it was my fault though, but it would have broken her heart if I did.' 

'Well, how did it feel like though, falling in love with her?' Joongki asked while taking a bite from his cheese jjajangmyeon. 

'It was, like magnet. Anywhere you go, you're lead back to her. When she isn't looking like you, your heart feels so heavy; almost like your heart turned into lead. You feel restless, you feel uneasy and you're going to find a way back to her.' Kwang Soo explains, his face lit up every time he talked about it, Song Joong Ki found it really sweet.

'I get what you mean.' Song Joong Ki smiles, thinking about his love life. 

'But she told me to make her fall in love with me.' He says, his voice lowered. 'But I don't know how to do that.' He continues. 

'So you're actually here to ask me for advice?' Joongki says. 

He shrugs. 'Something like that, but I really wanted to see you.' Kwang Soo answers. 

He was done with his jjajangmyeon, so was Kwang Soo. They shared the large platter of ddubokki, Joongki asked for some ramen from the ahjussi's wife. 

'Just, be there for her. Don't give her unnecessary gifts, occasionally sure. But just be there for her, a lot. She'll like it, she's also a girl even if she's our noona. Ask her about her day, be with her when she needs it; now your shoulders are for her exclusive use only. Occasionally get her jealous, but that only works when she's really into you. What else?' 

He eats another rice cake as he talk, Joong Ki wipes the base of his lips. The ahjumma came with the ramen, they both thanked her. 'Just be all around her, until she's used to it. Work with something that is strong for you, that is familliarity. Call her, text her, go out when you're both free. Make sure that the both of you is actively meeting each other, I think it would not be a problem since you guys're working together. Just, let her be your number one, and maybe along the way, you're going to be her number one also.' He says. Song Joong Ki is really useful when it comes to girls, he is really good around girls since he does have the appearance for it. it was not such a surprise to anyone really. 

'Be considerate, treat her nicely. She's a lady, regardless of what you think of her. She's your noona, nonetheless, so treat her with the respect she needs. I'm rooting for you, buddy, you deserve to be with her. You're a pretty decent guy also. You're both actors, both models and both members of variety; so make sure you understand each other well if this relationship can develop nicely.' Song Joong Ki ends his alleged 'speech'. 

'You're not angry with me, right?  I knew you used to like her.' Kwang Soo asks. 

'But you're the one whom stuck by her for all these years. If there should be anyone, might as well be you, Kwang Soo-ya. I'll be most delighted if it's you she ends up with. She can do no one better than you.'

Chapter 111: I just finished reading this, but I can’t really decide if I liked it or not. I guess the events leading to the ending (after Chapter 95) was/is not my cup of tea, it kind of made me upset in a way since I love KwangMong, that’s why. But other than that, I loved your writing. KwangMong has been my ship, so thank you for this story :)

Chapter 5: Another great chapter.

I like how Kwang Soo is very caring towards Ji Hyo.
I also liked the way he stumbled when Ji Hyo asked the innocent question, "Did you sleep okay?" It was kinda endearing.

Although at the end of the chapter, I ended up feeling a little sorry for Ji Hyo. Yes, she was partly to blame for encouraging Kwang Soo to drink, but she had to be the one comforting him.

I kinda felt both characters cared deeply about the other. With Ji Hyo fixing him breakfast and then comforting him and with Kwang Soo apologising even though it was not entirely his fault for what happened the night before. And I like that you had him behave timidly. It feels like you are setting us up that he cares very deeply for her. If not he wouldn't be so afraid of shaking the status quo.

I'm so looking forward to find out what happens to them! I've upvoted and subscribed. You have yourself a fan!

Chapter 4: I can't believe I never read this story before. I chanced upon your story while browsing the kwangmong tag and I'm sure glad I did. I think your your style of writing is very unique and I'm really kinda enjoying the short chapters.

Although I'm only four chapters in, I'm hooked and I can't wait to find out what happens next! Now off I go to read the rest of the story!

Hey, I have to admit I was a silent reader to this and was pleasantly surprised when you updated and completed it! I just love your style of writing, it really captured my attention to the point where I binge read the first 50 chapters then realised that it was unhealthy hahaha.
It was such a roller coaster for both Ji Hyo and Kwang Soo, I had always thought that their relationship was moving so fast that it would hurtle of the tracks. It was such a bitter sweet open ending which leaves me hoping for something more. Overall the whole story was so realistic which I found captivating, it showed not only highs of a relationship but also the lows.
So thanks for sharing this. I can't wait for you next idea. I look forward to reading it.
