CHAPTER 21

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CHOOSE?!

DAY 2

[JUNG JIYEON]

I woke up feeling better and saw breakfast on my working desk, Jiyong made pancakes for me. I took the breakfast and went to the sofa to eat it when suddenly the bell rang. I went to get the door and it was Junhyung.

 

“I’m here to fetch you, you didn’t reply my texts so I came up” oh, I didn’t check my phone this morning, that’s why I didn’t see his text

“Oh sorry, I haven’t checked my phone yet” I said as I opened the door and let him in

“Have a seat, I’ll finish my breakfast and get ready” I told him and got him a cup of coffee

“Was everything okay for you yesterday? I realised you replied my texts quite late” should I tell him I was unwell?

“Actually, I was unwell that’s why I went home earlier”

“Why didn’t you tell me? I would have fetched you home, are you feeling better already?” he said as he touched my face and adjusted my hair to the side

“I didn’t want to worry you, you seemed really busy. Mino came by yesterday, he took care of me” the reason why I’m telling him this is because I don’t want to hide anything from him. I hate lying and I hate liars and I want him to know everything.

“You are okay with Mino now?” he asked and I stopped eating

“I didn’t asked him to come, I opened the door and he was there. Then I almost fainted so I let him in. That’s all” I admit I was annoyed at the question, the way he said it was just too blunt

“I’m sorry for sounding like this, it’s just that- nevermind”

“It’s okay, I’ll go prepare now. Help yourself to the extra pancakes on the table” I said and went to my room to do my make up and get changed

 

Why did everything have to be so complicated? How do I deal with 3 guys liking me without hurting 2 of their feelings? And why is it that all three of them have to be celebrities, making things harder as I need to make sure nothing else of me goes to media again. I hate dramas and I just wish I could uncomplicate things.

 

“I’m done, let’s go” I said to Junhyung while we make our way out of the house

We were about to go inside the car when he suddenly asked me to wait and took out a bouquet of flowers and passed it to me, it was roses.

 

“This is for you, princess” he said and looked slightly embarrassed, he looks like this is his first day giving someone flowers, cute

“Thank you Junhyung, I really like it” I thanked him and cue him to enter the car while I drive

 

We didn’t talked much in the car, after we reached the office he had to practice straight away for the upcoming concert. The boys were really tied now nowadays, they had to come up with new choreographs for the old songs ever since Hyunseung left and they could do it with the old choreograph as it looks messy for 5 members instead of 6.

 

“Yah Jiyeon ah, you sure have many admirers huh. 2 flowers in a day?” Jinyoung oppa said and walked to my desk to passed me another bouquet of flowers. It was baby’s breath with pink roses, my favourite combination.

“Oppa ya, stop making fun of me. Go and do your work” I hushed him away as he kept teasing me

 

There was a small note attached to the flowers

Always yours, Jiyong

It was from Jiyong, I smiled as I smell my favourite flowers

 

“Who is that from?” I suddenly heard Junhyung from behind, he was pointing at the flowers

“It was from Jiyong, he sent these over” yup, he was annoyed

“Oh, we are ordering lunch. What do you want to eat?” he asked as he scroll through the menu on his phone

“You know I eat anything, I’ll eat the same as you” that’s right, I’m not a picky eater. I eat literally everything.

“Alright, can you go down and collect later. We’ll be practicing in the studio. Jinyoung ah, you go down with her later. It’s quite heavy” He said and went back to the studio.

     

Jiyong ah, thank you for the flowers.

I really liked it ♡❀

[YONG JUNHYUNG]

GD sent her flowers too, she seems to really like it. Were those her favourite flowers? Mino was there to take care of her instead of me, I just feel so lousy. I was too busy for her, there is literally 3 of us that likes her. I couldn’t concentrate on my dance and kept making mistakes.

 

“Let’s take a break, I think we are too tired” Yoseob suggested and we all agreed

“Lunch is here, come out and eat” Jinyoung came in and told us to go out and eat while the boys cheered because they were too hungry

“Yah Dongwoon ah, stoooppp it. Give me my lunch back” I came out and saw Gikwang holding her lunch high up and she couldn’t reach because she was too short. I walked over and snatched it back from behind and gave it to her

“Don’t bully her if not I’ll ask Doojoon to confiscate your phone” I joked around as I flicked his forehead

“Yah hyung, you are no fun” he said and went to the table

“Thanks Junhyung, c’mon let’s go eat” she said and held me by my wrist, I missed her touch so much

“You like this chicken cutlet, eat more” I said and passed some of mine to her because I know hers won’t be enough for her. Her appetite is really big but I don’t know how is she still so skinny

“You should eat more, you have been practicing and you just keeps getting skinny” she said while I just assured her it’s okay

“Just eat okay, don’t worry about me” I said and she just smiled and continue eating

 

What if she doesn’t choose to be with me in the end? What am I going to do? I can’t lose her, I really can’t but yet I can’t spend enough time with her. I question myself, do I really know her that well? Yes, she has been working with me for 8 years but I didn’t question her about her personal life because I was just her boss. After we got together, I didn’t even bother asking her about what she likes and what she dislike, I didn’t even know her parents had passed away or what is her hobby. All I cared was that she was already my girlfriend, and that’s all I needed. I guessed I really need to spend some time talking to her. We were done with eating and she went to clear the trash so I thought I would asked her for talk since I have some time free for now.

 

“Jiyeon, can we talk? In my office” I asked her

“Now?” she asked as I just nodded so she agreed

“What is it Junhyung, is it something important?” she asked me as she made herself comfortable on the small sofa in my office room while I just sit beside her

“Actually I just want to know more about you. You know I haven’t asked much about you since we got together”

“Erm alright, so what do you want to know? I’ll be honest” she said and was prepared for my questions

“Is there anything that you dislike?”

“I hate liars and I hate lying. I remembered when I was still studying in school, a girl lied to me and asked me to go to the toilet with her and I almost got but thank god I managed to beat the out of the guy and ran out of the toilet” wait what? She almost got ? Who the hell would do that to her

“If I ever get to meet the guy again, he is so dead” I said and she started laughing cutely

“Is there something about you that I don’t know?”

“Actually I smokes, so when you see me missing from the office I was actually smoking. I know it’s not good but you know when you start you can’t stop, just like you. You smokes too” I didn’t know she smokes, why is she such a badass? She beats guys who are bullies and she smokes…? It’s just that girl smoking in Korea is so uncommon, I was just really surprised

“And I have some tattoos on my back, which I cant show you because it’s inconvenient” TATTOOS? I realised she have a lot of piercings on her ears too, guessed she can tolerate pain really well then

“Yah Jiyeon ah, were you like some bad girl in school or something?” I joked while she just laughed along

“No of course not, I smoked because one day I saw Jiyong smoking and I got curious and that was how it started. As for my tattoos, I draw my own tattoos and got them tattooed on my skin at the shop. So my tattoos are one of a kind because no one will ever get hold of my drawings” I remember seeing some of her drawings, they were really nice and artistic. She is really talented, singing, dancing and now drawing?

“So… how do you feel being bestfriend with one of the most popular artist in Korea and even staying with him?” I really wanted to know, GD has like the most followers on Instagram in Korea and he is really good-looking too. I bet many fans would die to stay with him.

“Jiyong, he is my soul mate. We know everything about each other. We do quarrel sometimes but he always gives in to me. But I never expected him to like me, I have never thought about it” she said and looked really confused because of the 3 of us.

[KWON JIYONG X GD]

We ended rehearsals really early today, it was only 5pm. I thought I could cook something for Jiyeon today since she would be really tired later. I wore my cap and mask and went to the supermarket and bought some ingredients before heading home.

 

So I bought the ingredients and now I’m just standing in the kitchen not knowing where to start from. I remembered Jiyeon has this recipe book so I went to her room to look for it. Then I saw the pictures of her wall, we were so young when we took those and also some of our recent ones. Then I noticed some photos on her table which she haven’t pinned it yet, it was Junhyung and her. I don’t know why but I felt really jealous even though I have more photos with her. I accidentally dropped the book on the floor, while picking up I saw one photo behind the table, it was a photo of Mino kissing her cheeks. She haven’t threw it away? I know I shouldn’t be invading her room like this but I really wanted to know so I opened her drawer and their photos were there. I know she is someone who is very sentimental, maybe that’s why she still keeps it. I threw those thoughts away and went back to the kitchen.

 

It was almost 7pm after I was done cooking, it looks okay visually but I haven’t taste it yet. I was about to try the food when I heard someone opening the door and she was holding 2 bouquet of flowers

 

“You are homed early” she said and closed the door while I walked towards her

“I don’t remember giving you 2 bouquet of flowers”

“Junhyung gave me one too, and thank you for the flowers. You remembered my favourite” she thanked me and walked to the dining table while I was just thinking about Junhyung. Why did the both of us had to buy flowers on the same day.

Did you make all of these?” she walked to the table and looked at me shockingly

“Yes I did, for you. Go get changed and come out before it turns cold” I told her while she rushed to get changed and I prepared the rice for us and placed it on the table.

“Can we eat already, I’m really hungry”

“Yes, please try and let me know if it’s okay” I said as she took a mouth of the kimchi

“Yah Jiyong ah, this is really salty” I tried and yes, it was really salty. I was about to throw it away because it was too salty.

“No, don’t throw. You cooked it and I’m going to finish it, okay? Leave it here” she said but I insisted to throw

“No, this is too salty and it’s not healthy”

“Throw it and we are not talking” now I cant throw it away

“Okay fine, I won’t throw” I gave in to her

“This beef is really nice tho, try it” she said and fed me the beef

“Luckily I cooked something right” thank god the fried beef was okay, if not I really don’t know how to continue with dinner

“Thanks for the food Jiyong, I know you can’t cook but you still tried. I really enjoyed dinner” she said and I could feel my face heating up

 

We washed the dish together then sat down on the sofa to relax. She was just using her phone and I’m thinking if I should tell her I saw her photos with Mino. Will she get angry though?

 

“Jiyeon ah, I was looking for the recipe book just now and I came across your photos with Mino” I told her honestly

“Oh, you know those were memories. I couldn’t bear to throw it away, so I thought I would have just kept it in the drawer” she said and looked slightly upset, she must be thinking about what happened

“Babe, I want you to know that I will never leave you. I will always be here”

“I know you will, thank you” she said and gave me a small smile

“Oh right, omma called me just now. She asked me to remind you to rest well, she says you are too skinny” I told her that omma called just now, I know how skinny she is but she eats really a lot

“You know I can’t get fat right? I already eat so much, but I guess my metabolism is really high” she said and laughed

“How is appa anyway? He haven’t called for a long time” she asked me and it’s true that appa haven’t called

“How about we video call him?” I suggested and she agreed but my phone suddenly rang, it was Daesung. I answered and he told me to meet at the company for a sudden meeting for our next concert

“I need to go back to the company for a meeting, sleep first okay?”

“Alright, hurry up and go” she said and I quickly prepared and got changed

“Bye baby, see you” I said and left the house

 

[SONG MINHO X MINO]

I was downstairs Jiyeon’s house, wondering if I should call her out. She seems okay with me yesterday, her attitude was better towards me compared to months ago. I couldn’t care less, I just really wanted to see her now so I called her. I was really surprise she agreed to come down. I was waiting by the lobby when I saw her walking over.

 

“Hey, so why did you ask me down?” because I miss you so much

“Oh, I was just wondering if you wanted to go for a walk?” I asked her but she was hesitating

“Erm I guess we could” she agreed!! I was too happy that she finally agreed to go out with me

“So, are you feeling better? You looked really sick yesterday”

“Yeah, I’m okay already. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday” she thanked me and gave me a smile, that smile that I missed so much

“I’m glad you are fine. Jiyeon ah, I really missed you. Do you think we would ever get back again?” I asked her as I noticed she looked away, she didn’t want to talk about it but I didn’t want to give up

“Minho, I’m really thankful that you have took care of me yesterday. I really appreciate you as a friend and I hope that our friendship can last forever” she called me Minho, she rarely calls me that after we broke up

“Jiyeon, can’t you give me a chance to prove myself? I know it’s my fault for cheating on you, I was drunk that day”

“Don’t use drunk as an excuse, I only believe what I saw”

“I promise I wont do it again, you know it has been almost 2 years since we broke up and I still can’t move on” I couldn’t move on from her, she was really special to me and I was really stupid that time

“Let me be honest with you here, something happened so Junhyung and me are currently taking a break for now. And Jiyong, he confessed to me. You know things are getting really complicated for me and I just hope you don’t add on to it. We have broke up, it’s over”

“You can give them a chance and you can’t give me one? Doesn’t everyone deserves a second chance?” I said and she seems to be considering about it

“Minho, I don’t have enough time for you. I have to work eveyday till evening and then I’ll be too tired so I’ll be resting at home”

“We were like that too when we were together, you had to work everyday too but you had time for me then. What’s the difference now?” I don’t understand why is it so hard, we were like that

 

“Things have changed, I’m busier than before. I have been working from home, I can’t finish everything at the office so I have to bring my work home. I really have no time” she said and I really don’t know what do or say anymore

“Okay, if you are willing to give me a chance. I promise I won’t bother you when you are busy”

“Okay, but don’t get your hopes high. I think I should be going now, I still have some things to do” she was about to leave but I insisted on sending her home

 

I went back home after sending her, I was on my bed trying to sleep when I suddenly remembered how me met. She came for the YG concert with Jiyong hyung.

 

*flashback*

I was walking to Winner’s make up room when I suddenly banged onto someone and I dropped my phone. I looked up and I swear I have never seen anyone so pretty in my life before.

 

“Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?” she apologised and picked up my phone and passed to me

“Ah yes, how about you? Are you okay?” I asked her and she just smiled at me

“Don’t worry, I’m okay. Good luck for your performance” she said and walked away while I just went back to the room

 

I couldn’t stop thinking about her, her face is stuck on my mind. I don’t think she was anyone’s manager or part of YG, I haven’t seen her before. I have so many questions, who is she and why is she here? Why am I even so interested in her? Is it love at first sight? Am I going to see her again? I was finally done with my make up but it was not our time to performed yet so I went out of the room to walked around when I saw her again. She was sitting on the chair using her phone. Should I go over?

 

“Hey, sorry for just now” I said as I took a seat in front of her

“Oh no, it’s alright. Don’t worry about it”

“So, what are you doing here? You don’t work here right?” I asked her out of curiosity

“Jiyong asked me to come for YG concert, so I came to support him” Jiyong as in GD? How are they related?

“Jiyong hyung? Are you his girlfriend?” it just came out of my mouth

“No, he is my bestfriend so I thought I would come over since I had some time off today” oh, they are just bestfriends

“I’m Minho, you are?” I wanted to know her name, I think I’m really interested in her

“I’m Jiyeon, nice to meet you” she said and smile, that smile again. I swear those smiles gives me butterflies in my stomach

“Are you younger than me or?”

“I’m a 92-liner” she’s a year older than me

“Ah, Jiyeon noona” I said as she raised an eyebrow

“Noona? How old are you?” she asked as I laughed a little

“I’m one year younger than you” I said and she laughed

“Noona, what’s so funny? Do I look old?”

“Well, I thought we would be at least the same age” she said and I was about to reply but my manager came

“Mino ah, go to the backstage now. 5 minutes till Winner” Heon Woo hyung said and rushed to the backstage

“Erm noona, I got to go but can I have your number?” I said and blushed while she suddenly held my hand and wrote her number on my palm

“Don’t lose it or else I wont give you again. So hurry up and go for your performance now” she said and rushed me away

“Bye noona, you are… really pretty by the way” I said and ran to the backstage

*end of flashback*

 

I smiled at the thought of how we met for the first time and I’m just glad she finally wanted to give me a chance. I really need to cherish this one chance I have.

Chapter 26: To be honest when she was dating Junhyung it didn’t feel like she was dating, it felt like she was going through the motions and I think she likes him but I don’t think it’s to the point to where he likes her. If anything you can tell how much jiyong loves her and what amazes me is he had the opportunity to be with Dara but he stayed committed to her. When I started reading I had no clue who’s team I was on but now I’m 100% team jiyong. I think she never gave him a thought because of being best friends but there is something about them that makes me want to read more. If she chooses him I think she would be happy.
