Sojung had been completely way more sweet and cringey after that night she got drunk. And if you were to ask me, as much as I hate people acting all sweet around me, I must admit that Sojung was different. There was something different about her that made me feel special every time I’m with her 

At first I may have hated it. How she tried winning me and using our unplanned marriage as something she could blackmail me with. But somehow as time passes by, I was liking how she acts so sweet and makes me feel so special.

A feeling that nobody had ever made me feel before

In fact, I am unknowingly smiling and becoming brighter than I usually am. I wouldn’t have known that if not for Eunha nor Yerin teasing me every time I arrive at the office with a huge smile plastered on my face

I am now standing in front of the glass view of my office, scanning through the photos that I have took during last time’s photoshoot of Sojung and Yuju.

It would be a lie if I would say that I don’t feel any jealousy between them. I mean who wouldn’t? Considering the fact that they had dated and had special feelings towards each other in that past?

I know very well that both of them had gotten over each other but I still feel uneasy for I don’t even know their status right now. Did they already settle things already? And if yes, did it end well? Specially for Sojung who had been left in the air by her first love.

I sighed as I click the next button of the camera, then I saw a shot of Yuju clinging onto Sojung’s arm. Both of them were smiling widely while facing together — if I haven’t known their past, I may think that they may be in good terms or maybe even more.

I felt my heart slowly clench. Jealousy was creeping to me, I know that.

“What a great actor” I muttered to myself and weakly smiled at the photo

I heard the door of my office open but I didn’t check who it was. It was probably just a staff who needed to hand something out or one of my friends

“What are you doing there Eunbi?” I heard the soft and sweet voice of the person and that was enough for me to recognize who the owner of the voice was.

Kim Sojung.

I hummed in response and I heard footsteps coming near me. Her arms slowly wrapping around my waist, placing her chin on my shoulder as she tighten her hug

“I miss you” She whispered making me scoff and turn off the camera I was holding

“We just met this morning” I said teasingly. I heard her chuckle and I felt one of her hands finding its way onto mine and intertwined them together

I looked at our intertwined hands and started to play with hers “You know, I’ve been curious about something”

I was trying to hide the worry in my voice when I asked that question. For I was worried what her answer might be. I know it may seem impossible — she and Yuju coming back together once they reconciled — but it just doesn’t seem too impossible since they did have a strong relationship in the past until one of them left.

I just can’t help but think that way.

Sojung hummed in response as she smell my neck which somewhat tickled me. Thinking the past days, this became her habit. I noticed she always tends to smell me while giving me a back hug and I can’t help but smile, just thinking about it.

“How is your relationship with Yuju?” I asked and I felt her body stiffen up by the mention of the topic and of Yuju. And somehow I felt the air around us get thicker

I hope I didn’t make her uncomfortable or anything

“You don’t have to answer if you don’t wan—“ I said panicking but was cut of by her own word “No it’s okay, princess”

I shut my mouth after she spoke, waiting for her next sentence. My heart beating fast.

“When you went back to the parking lot that day” — she trailed off and raised our intertwined hands and gently rubbed the back of my hand with her thumb — “She actually asked me if we could have a talk”

I slowly nodded and said “And... What happened next?”

She took a deep breath “Well we talked about things – and well she asked for forgiveness”

“What did you reply with that?” I asked, wanting to know if she had already forgiven the latter. Wanting to know how that conversation ended and if they are now back to normal as friends or maybe even just as co-workers

I felt that she pouted her lower lip as she lower our hands and also I felt her tightening her hold onto me. Not that I’m complaining, I’m actually getting the hang of it. Sojung being all sweet and how she hugs me as if that she would lose me once she let go of her hold onto me

“You won’t get mad at what I will say right?” I felt my body tensing up at what she had said

“Why would I get mad?” I said as calm as I could be, not wanting her to notice that I was tensing up

“Well...” — she sounded uncertain if she would continue or not — “I told her that I would have to tell you about it first and it’ll be your decision if I will forgive her or not”

Sojung’s voice was undeniably worried and I couldn’t help but crease my forehead at what she told Yuju. Why would she need my decision?

“What? I didn’t quite get that, Miss Kim” I said as I break away from her hug, now facing her who had her face looking on the ground.

She started fidgeting her fingers and I couldn’t help but to hold my laughter because she looked like a child who was getting reprimanded. I didn’t get the chance to get annoyed by her decision due to how adorable she looked like when I turned around to face her. All of the irritation got washed away and my face softens with a smile on my face.

I walked towards my table and placed my camera on top of the table. Sitting on the edge of the table, I asked “Why would you need me in making that decision? I have nothing to do with your past with each other”

Silence.

“Sojung. I asked you why I should be the one making the decision if you should forgive her or not” I said sternly. Though I wasn’t really agitated or anything, I was just enjoying how she was reacting and I wanted her to answer the question

She slowly lifted her head and a huge grin breaks into her face and slowly walks slowly towards me...

This doesn’t seem good...

“Because” — Sojung placed both of her hands on my cheeks, cupping my face — “You’re my present now and you’re decision matters”

Sojung then stole a quick peck on my lips making heat rush up to my head. And what was that about? She didn’t have to kiss me. Her words and actions were enough to make my heart flutter

She was smiling widely as if she did something incredible and that wasn’t helping. Not helping at all.

I removed her hands on my cheeks and did a fake cough as I avert my gaze from her “I think it’s already break time”

I raised my wrist to check what time was it and immediately grabbed my bag from my chair and headed out of my office

“Wait for me princess” I heard Sojung teasingly shout from behind. And I swear I could imagine how she looks like. She probably has this victory smile of hers and thinks that she did something — well she really did something to me

I was hurriedly walking, trying my best for her not to catch up to me but thanks to her long legs, she was already beside me in no time

“You’re fast. But not fast enough to escape from the charming Kim Sojung” She said as she winked at me and slid her hand onto mine, clasping them together

I could feel the stares of the staffs on us as we pass by. I mean who wouldn’t stare at us? I’m beside the one and only Kim Sojung and not only that, she’s holding my hand.

I walked faster, not minding Sojung who was just beside me if she would have a hard time catching up to my phase. I just want to get away from this attention from the staffs of the company

It was embarrassing to receive this kind of attention

“What’s with the hurry, princess?” She said as we reach the parking lot. Sojung was still confident as ever, a huge grin on her face and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and groan

“I just wanted to get away from the attention the staffs were giving us” I tried removing my hand from her hold but she was stronger. Instead of removing my hands, she pulled me close to her — too close that I was already looking up to be able to have eye contact with her

“What are you doing? We’re in a parking lot. It’s more dangerous here than inside the company” I whispered loud enough to be a shout and I tried getting away from her but to no avail

“Paparazzis and reporters might be hiding here” I said glaring at her with a dead serious tone

“I don’t care. We’re together so I don’t care if they do take photos of us right now and make articles about us” Sojung said with a smirk on her face

“Kim Sojung, remember that we’re still not official despite this marriage we had during the party” I unknowingly blurted out and her expression changed immediately into a frown and she loosened her grip, letting go of me

She heaved a sigh and turned around, placing both of her hands inside her pockets as she started walking ahead. I couldn’t help but feel guilty on what I said. I was just able to say that because I was scared that there might really be reporters here waiting for some juicy news to feature on their article

“Sojung. I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to” I said full of guilt for I knew that I have hurt her. She stopped her tracks and turned her head to me

“I know. And besides it’s true. We’re still not official and this thing between us might be over after the contract that I made up ends” She said with a smile — a fake smile and I saw hurt behind her expression. Sojung was obviously trying to hide the bitterness of her voice that she got hurt or affected on what I had just stated

I felt a sudden pang in my heart as I saw that sad expression of Sojung. Her bright expression was washed away by sadness and it’s all my fault for doing such a reckless thing

What have you done Hwang Eunbi? You shouldn’t have said that to her nor brought that up in the first place...
