From Zero [DISCONTINUED]"Should we take five or learn the next step?" Asked Soonyoung, who was also a member of the dance club with me. We were practicing a new choreography which was created by both of us.
"I'm done." I replied shortly while staring at the clock on the wall. I changed my sweaty t-shirt to a hoodie and packed all my things into the bag.
"Are you going somewhere?" He asked right after sipping a small amount of water in the bottle.
"Yeah. My friend. She should be done by now. I need to see her."
"She? You mean Jaeyi?" A sly smile formed on Soonyoung's face. He raised his brows twice, trying to tease me.
I rolled my eyes, already fed up with himself. I picked up my bag and walked to the exit. "See you next week."
Soonyoung nodded without saying a word and continued practicing alone. After letting the door closed by itself, I headed to the rooftop garden where Jaeyi was. As soon as I entered the rooftop, I saw Jaeyi was squatting while looking at some flowers in front of her. But when I was about to walk towards her, someone called her name. I didn't recognize who was it so I tiptoed to get closer with him to get a better view and realized it was Hoseok.
Jaeyi turned to the voice and finally saw him. She stood up and slowly rubbing her left shoulder with her right hand. "Um, what are you doing here?"
"The note?" He replied, awkwardly scratching his head.
"Oh, it was you?"
He nodded. "Yes, we need to talk. It has been four months since the breakup and I didn't even get a chance to explain myself." He explained then bit his lower lip nervously, waiting for her to answer.
"I uh, I think I should go." She said and was about to walk to the exit but then he stopped her by holding her arm.
"Jay, please? I know we're not getting back together but please, at least hear me out." He voiced with those desperate look. Tears almost fell from his eyes but he seemed to hold it back.
Jaeyi was in dilemma. She looked like she wanted to escape the situation but she also seemed couldn't help but feeling sorry with Hoseok. She stared at his hand which was still holding her arm tightly for a while before she nodded, agreeing to listen to him.
He smiled and then both of them sat on a bench. The bench was for two but Jaeyi tried hard to create a safe distance between both of them. Hoseok who realized that just formed a bitter smile on his face.
"So... What is it?" After 5 minutes in an awkward situation, finally Jaeyi broke the silence.
Hoseok rubbed his knee nervously and started to talk. "The picture you saw, I admitted it was me. But it was from years ago, when we weren't a thing yet. The girl in the picture
