CHAPTER 8

Story of Us

“Why are you so grumpy in such an early hour?” Yerin said as she closes the book that she was reading and looked at me with curiosity inevitable on her face

I didn’t answer and just groaned in disbelief because really. Even I don’t know why I’m so pissed. I started getting annoyed after I left—more like rushed out—in Sojung’s condo because of the topic she suddenly brought up

“It’s Sojung isn’t it?” She sighed and crossed her legs and laid both of her hands on it

“No” I said firmly which only made her smirk and lean closer to me and gave me one of the irritating smile she could ever give to me—the teasing and mocking one which I hate the most

“So much for being defensive. Now, tell me what happened and what did she do to make you this grumpy in this fine weather”

“I told you she’s not the reason” I swear that I’m getting grumpier and more annoyed because of how persistent Yerin is

“Hmm... hard are we?” She stood up from her chair and walked at the table near me and sat down with both of her arms crossed and continued “Let me guess. You’re falling for her aren’t you?”

What she said made me stop from getting further agitated and my face soften due to the fact that Sojung’s smiling and sweet face suddenly popped out inside my head again

“I knew it!” She exclaimed and clapped her hands together making me flinch in surprise

“N-no. I-I don’t” Great... why did you stutter yourself Hwang? It’s like you just admitted that you are really falling for that gorgeous person who happens to be your wife

“Aww. My baby Hwang is already growing up to be a one fine lady” She teased and caressed my cheeks and made some pouty mouth that adults do to play with babies. I brushed her hand of off me and glared at her, earning her to laugh aloud

“Stop” I can feel my face burning up due to embarrassment because seriously? Eunha wouldn’t be this bad if she’s the one who knew about this

I stood up and walked towards the door with both of my fists clenched and me, trying to make myself be in its regular temperature

“Fine. I’ll stop now just tell me about it, Hwang. What happened that made you so grumpy?” Her tone changed into a serious one. I stopped and turned around and saw her having also a calm face and trying to engage me to tell her what happened. Sometimes she’s really annoying but she really does know when she would stop being annoying like at this moment

“Promise me that you won’t tell Eunha about this” I walked back to her and she simply closed her eyes while nodding and raised her right hand and said “Promise”

I sighed and sat down hesitating to tell her what really made me upset so I took a deep breath because how I would explain it might sound childish to her

“Well... basically her cousin visited her house this morning and I woke up seeing that girl sitting on the couch” Yerin was nodding and gestured her hand for me to go on and so I did because I know she may be a help for me. After all, she has more experience in this field compared to me

“Her cousin was whining and teasing her on why I was the only one she greeted and whom she gave a morning kiss on the forehead and Sojung mentioned that we only had a limited time before the contract ends” Yerin was smiling the whole time I was telling it to her and I couldn’t believe that I just said that to her...

I face palmed myself and slowly rubbed my face with my palms and said “I can’t believe I’m so childish for reacting like that”

“No you aren’t. It just shows that you really are developing feelings for her” I felt her hand pat my head making me turn my head to her. I saw her having a proud smile and I couldn’t help but be confused on why she have that look

“You may think that you’re childish but trust me. That what love do to people. It makes us blind and do stupid things that we never have imagined that we would ever do and... it also makes us childish for the one we love”

“I barely know her and it hasn’t even been a month since I’ve known her so it’s impossible for that. Too impossible for me to fall for her this early”

Yeah. I’ve only known her for a short period of time yet why am I so open with her already? I’m not the type of person to open up to another in such a small period of time because I know that you can’t easily trust others. The only person whom you truly could trust is yourself and only you

“Love does take time to develop but some takes only a short period of time for you to realize that the person—the perfect person for you—is just around you and I believe that you’re in the category of finding your true love in a short span of time”

----------------------------------------------------------------

I haven’t seen Sojung these past few days due to her schedule ay another country. She had a photoshoot for a famous magazine that is recognized as one of the top selling magazines every issue that they release and I believe that artists are dying to work and model for that magazine because of course if they did, they would get exposure and Sojung had been their model for every issue that they released—it’s like she was their official model—well who wouldn’t like her to be their model? She has every qualification needed for a perfect model.

Everything about her is perfect

“Alone and thinking about her again?” I heard the door of my office creak as it open and saw Yerin entering and behind her was Eunha

I placed my chin on my palm and looked at them uninterestedly and stared at the smaller girl “You’re model girlfriend’s not with you?”

“Nope. She just left actually” I just nodded in response and dropped my head onto my wooden table and hang both of my arms at my side like I was a lifeless person

The room was filled with silence even if they were inside—well for me—sitting at the couch near my table. If they happen that they are have a conversation, I guess I couldn’t hear anything due to the fact that my head was full of thoughts about her

She haven’t contacted me ever since she left the country for her photoshoot and I tried calling her but it always turns into a voice mail which makes me feel down

What if she has forgotten me? What if she found someone who’s better than me and bu the time she returns, she will break our deal and immediately sign the divorce papers?

“Ugh... I hate this” I said as I bump my forehead onto the table again and again and I didn’t feel any pain while doing it because I was too worried on why she isn’t answering any of my calls

“Hwang. You do know your head might bleed if you keep doing that” I heard Yerin say with a hint of laugh threatening to come out of

I leaned away from the desk and brushed my face with both of my palms and irritatingly said “But she wasn’t even answering any of her calls!”

“Maybe she’s busy? Like of course she will be since she’s at work. It’s not like she’s there for fun” Eunha said slowly—more like hesitatingly—not wanting to trigger me so she was trying to choose carefully on what she would say

“Yeah. Like you know? She’s the one and only supermodel Kim Sojung whom people are dying for” Yerin replied in agreement with what Eunha has just said a while ago but I groaned in disbelief

“But even so, she could at least call me back when she’s on her break time or when she’s at her hotel or something”

 I saw Yerin shaking her head and having a playful smile “Just by seeing you in this state confirms that you’re much worse and much possessive than Eunha as a lover”

“What?!” Eunha and I shouted at the same time.

“Why did my personality get in the conversation?” Eunha complained and crossed her arms in front of her chest and pouted—in short she was sulking—and Yerin just shrugged and had a you-can’t-blame-me look

“Well, putting that aside. When will her return be?” Yerin asked with a smile and my brain processes first trying to remember what day was it today and once I remember what day it was, a smile suddenly crept out of me

“Tomorrow”

“Yey! You’ll finally see the person whom you’ve been longing to see and you’ve been crazy about the whole time” I glared at Yerin who just said it like she was making fun of me and teasing me like I was some high school student who’s in love and waiting for that person to notice her

“Why am I friends with you again?” I asked with my eyes narrowed but not because I was angry, but in a joking way and she just chuckled

“Because you find me attractive. No buts because it’s a fact”

“That you’re attractive?” I asked with a smirk which she just winked at me making me scoff “Oh please. You’re not even a bit attractive unlike Sojung–“ my eyes widened and my mouth fell open when I realized that I just mention Sojung even though she was really supposed in that conversation

“Craziness slash obsession? Confirmed” Yerin said as she was looking at Eunha who was nodding her head and looked at me with a playful smirk on her face before standing up along with Yerin

“Well. Since we’ve confirmed what we wanted to know, we’ll he taking our leave now” They both said in unison before turning their back to me to head to the door

“What?” I asked confusedly

Once Yerin reached the knob, she turned her head to my direction and teasingly said “Well, you’ll see your prince charming by tomorrow so if I were you I would be anxious about how awful I look like because it might turn her off” making me curse under my breath as soon as they got out and immediately took out a mirror to check myself and I really look awful.

How and when did I became like this? Specially my dark circles, it grew bigger and darker

----------------------------------------------------------------

I’m sitting at the waiting area inside the airport and my foot couldn’t help but keep on tapping on the floor and I kept looking at my watch to check the time

And why am I so nervous and restless? It’s not like I’m gonna meet a huge celebrity or anything but why do I feel so nervous?

Why isn’t she still out? Her plane has already landed for already ten minutes but why isn’t she out yet? I haven’t even seen her manager coming out of the gateway

In result of my restlessness, I took out my phone and texted her to ask where is she but I didn’t get any response in return making my blood boil and I could feel my face heating up and reddening

“Is she seriously avoiding me or what?” I said irritatedly but that soon faded away when I heard my phone beep and saw that she replied

“We’re already heading towards the exit. Are you waiting for me in the airport?”

Before I could reply, I saw the glass door open and I couldn’t help but get excited and smile when I saw the tall gorgeous Sojung walking out the door and she dyed her hair into black. I must admit that she’s still beautiful as ever in every different style she tries

But my smile faded and turned into a frown when I saw a smaller girl walk to her side and they were and laughing so casually and that Sojung couldn’t even see me because her gaze was fixed to that girl but her manager managed to see me so she kept tapping her back but she wasn’t even daring to change the direction of her gaze

My anger meter went up to it’s limit when I saw her hug the unknown girl tightly and before it, I was already in front of them with my arms crossed and right eyebrow raised

“I suppose that you already have a company so I’m not needed her anymore. Am I?” I said with a monotone voice but anger was inevitable while I was speaking and I knew that I was giving them my deadly glare

Sojung stared at me before smiling and hugging me tightly but my anger wasn’t getting better but it was getting worse and she even dared trying ti introduce me to that girl so I cut her off in the middle of her introduction

“I didn’t ask who she was. Did I? And since I see that you already have a company, I guess I’ll get going. I still have a schedule” I said and turned around and started walking fast away from them

I could hear her calling out my name and I could hear footsteps following me so I walked faster and faster that I was able to reach my car without her catching up to me

I the engine and put on my seatbelt and agitatedly said “So that’s why she doesn’t have time for me? Because of that unknown person” I heard my phone buzzing and looked at the caller and saw that it was her and I immediately turned it off and made it into airplane mode so that she couldn’t contact me and I drove so fast that I was already exceeding the speed limit but I don’t really care. All I know is that I’m angry for what I had seen and I need to let it out even if it’s just through driving
