CHAPTER 22

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CHOOSE?!

DAY 3

[JUNG JIYEON]

I woke up to Jiyong beside me on the bed, since when did he got here and how come I didn’t know. I was wondering until I noticed he had a post-it note on his hand.

I can’t sleep alone so I guessed I it would be a good idea to crash into your room 😊

I looked at him and couldn’t help but to smile at his silliness. I covered him with the blanket before washing up and making breakfast.

 

I’m just going to make simple breakfast with sunny side up and sausage. I was making the sausages halfway when I felt a hug from behind, I know it’s Jiyong. It was normal for him to do that, but after he confessed it felt different. I didn’t know why I didn’t push him away, maybe I’m just used to it?

 

“Morning baby” he said with his morning husky voice, being called baby and being hugged by him is just different now. It actually feels like we are really together.

“Morning Jiyong, I don’t remember giving you permission to sleep on my bed” I said and I heard him chuckle from behind

“I couldn’t sleep in my room for some reasons I don’t know why, and the only way to sleep was to watch your face to sleep” he said as I started blushing but thank god he cant see it

“Yah Jiyong, I can’t cook if you are like this” I said as he lets go and went to wash up

 

I continued cooking and once I was done, I placed it on the table while waiting for Jiyong to come out. Oh god, I really hate what’s going on now, I have to choose one by end of the month or maybe even none of them. I hate that I have to reject people because I at doing that and I don’t want to hurt any of them.

 

“Thanks baby for the breakfast” he said and kissed me on the cheeks from behind before taking a seat, why is he… acting as if we are together already

“Jiyong ah, you are my bestfriend not my boyfriend” I said and saw him roll his eyes

“I will be, and you’ve always been my baby what” it’s true that he have been calling me that ever since we knew each other but the kiss was abit too causal? It’s normal when he kisses my head but today was the first time on my cheeks

“Jiyong, why are you doing this to me? It’s hard you know, 3 guys and making my heart confused here and there?” I said as I sighed and took a bite of my egg

“What 3 guys? There’s a third person?” he asked

“Mino came by yesterday after you left, he didn’t come up I went down. He was saying how everyone deserves a second chance but of course I told him not to have high hopes about it” I said and I saw Jiyong showing his confident face

“You will be mine” he said as he suddenly leans his face forward with only about 2 inch away as I blushed

“Trust me” he finished his sentence before moving back to his seat

“You think you are the only one who can do that?” I said as I decided to and did the same thing to him, I leaned my face forward as he just froze there when he suddenly leaned in and kissed my………lips

“Erm I gotta prepare for work” I said as I ran to my room and closed the door

 

What just happened? Oh my god, did Jiyong really kissed me on my lips? It’s just doesn’t feel right because we are bestfriends but I don’t know why but I feel that Jiyong makes me really happy but Junhyung makes me happy too except for that whole Hara issue. This is exactly what I meant, confusion. I brushed off the thoughts and started preparing and got changed once I was done. I was about to leave the house when he suddenly called out to me.

 

“Jiyeon, I’ll see you tonight. Take care of yourself okay”

“Yeah, sure. See you” I said and closed the door

 

Oh my god, this just feels so weird. I don’t think I can look at him the same way anymore, this is just too much to handle for me. I continued walking until I saw Junhyung’s car.

 

“Good morning princess” he looks so tired today

“Morning, didn’t sleep well last night? You look tired” I asked him as I analyse his face

“Yeah, I was composing some lyrics. I think I only slept for about 2 hours” he shouldn’t be doing this, he need to take care of his health since he have many events coming up

 

[YONG JUNHYUNG]

“Junhyung ah, if you continue being like this you will get sick” she said and started driving

 

Actually, I’m having a really bad headache but I have to go the company today, I cant leave my members alone to practice.

 

“Junhyung, are you sure you want to go to the office today?” she asked as she suddenly stopped the car at the roadside

“You looked very tired, why don’t you take a day off today?”

“No it’s okay, we still have a lot of things to finish up today” I said and she just give in to me and continue driving

 

We are at the office when I realised she have been staring into the space for quite a while, what is she thinking? Most of the staffs have went out for lunch, why is she sitting there alone? I went to the pantry and got two cups of instant noodle, I poured the boiling water inside before bringing it to the table.

 

“Jiyeon ah, come and eat” I said as I placed the forked and spoons on the table and she was walking towards me

“Thank you” she sat down and smiled at me

“Did anything happen? You looked very lost today” I asked her and she suddenly looked up, so something happened?

“Erm, I was with Minho last night. He told me to give him a second chance” Minho? She stopped calling him that ever since that break up, she have been calling him Mino

“Oh, so you agreed?” I asked and pretended that I was okay

“I told him I wouldn’t have much time for him and not to get his hopes high and he agreed” are we being too cruel to her? She has to choose 1 out of the 3 of us, she must be confused

“That means he stands a chance too right? I’m so sorry. Sorry that you have to go through this because of us. Maybe because, you are so special, how often does someone manage to have 3 guys in love with her?” I said but she could only sigh

“I rather not, you know? If this is what it takes to be special, I don’t want to be special. I just want to have a normal life” she’s really frustrated over this, if only Hara didn’t appear. None of this would have happened. I need to find out what is going on with Hara, why is that she have to appear at the wrong timing? And who was the one who took the picture of her appearing at my doorstep?

“No, you special because of who you are. You make me realise that you have always been the one, just that I didn’t noticed. The things you do for me, the way you try to protect me from the media whenever something goes wrong, the way you stayed loyal to me throughout these 8 years despite a higher salary offered from CUBE. The way you make sure I’m always okay, when you stayed even though I was going through my hard times and couldn’t pay you on time. The many times you got attacked by fans while trying shield me” it took me so long to realise that she have done so many things to me but what I have did for her?

“This is my job, Junhyung. I admit I did felt something for you when you sort of confessed but now I realised that we are too busy for each other. We didn’t go dating like how other couple did because it’s hard and we don’t have the time. Maybe it would have been better if I remain as just your manager and nothing else” it’s true we didn’t have time to go on dates, but I fell hard for her. It would have been easier for GD because they stay together.

“Jiyeon, please don’t push me away like this. I know I haven’t been trying, I know I was really busy. If Mino deserves a second chance, then what about me?”

“Junhyung, I never said anything about calling the one month thingy off. I was just telling you how I felt” she said when suddenly the rest of them return back to the office

“Cup noodles? How is that enough? We bought you guys some food, have some” Dongwoon said and shared the food with us

“Kikwang ah, can you help me with my laptop? I think there’s some virus, it can’t connect to the wifi no matter how I try” she asked Kikwang but I know she just wanted to be away from me, she is feeling lost. She doesn’t know what to do.

“You and her, still not settled?” Doojoon whispered to me

“No, she said I didn’t have time for her as we were both too busy and also the Hara issue. There is just a lot going on now, apparently GD confessed to her too. I knew he had feelings for her but I didn’t think much because we were already together at that time but I never expected Hara to appear again” I told Doojoon everything and he patted my back to comfort me

“You see, Jiyeon is a nice girl. She stayed with you, with us for so long. I know she is your manager but you know how she just takes care of all of us. She was tramautised by what Mino did to her so when Hara comes along, she just got reminded. Give her some time, let her make her decision and respect her decision no matter what. Give her your blessings if you really love her” Doojoon explained to me and I just nodded quietly

 

 [KWON JIYONG X GD]

Were she avoiding me this morning? Was it because I kissed her? I didn’t even know why I did that, I guess I was just anxious. I looked at my phone and it was 830pm already, she must be at home already. I was about to make my way home when suddenly someone called me.

 

“Jiyong!” oh it was Dara

“Hey Dara, what’s up?”

“Jiyong ah, you know erm… I like you” is she confessing to me now? So Jiyeon knew she liked me that’s why she didn’t want me to call her baby or princess whenever Dara is there

“Dara, this is very sudden and I’m really sorry but I have someone in mind already” I know it’s hard to reject someone but I have to do it because I only love one girl and that is Jiyeon

“It’s Jiyeon right?” how did she know? Was I very obvious?

“How did you know?”

“I saw the way you looked at her, it’s different. I thought I just needed to let you know, I wanted to let it go and I have been thinking about it so I just decided to tell you. Jiyeon is a nice girl, take care of her” she walked away even before I could say anything, did I hurt her feelings?

 

I finally reached home after a long day but she was not in the living room, I went to the kitchen for a glass of water when I heard her room door opened.

 

“Hey baby, how was your day?” I asked her but she just looked at me without saying anything and was about to go back to her room but I ran towards her and held her wrist

“What’s wrong? Why are you avoiding me, was it because of this morning?” I asked her, not letting go of her yet

“I was just taken aback, it was too sudden and we are not even together” she said, not looking at me

“I’m sorry for this morning, I didn’t mean it. I just couldn’t hold myself back, I really like you” I confessed for the second time

“Jiyong, do we really have to do this? We were fine being bestfriend but now it just feels different. I just don’t this to ruin our friendship, you make me very happy and you know everything about me but if you continue doing this I’m afraid I might just fall…” she suddenly stopped talking

“in love with me?” I continued her sentence but she just covered her face after realising what she has said

“Jiyong…”  she said and slightly pouted

“Yah, don’t ever avoid me anymore. No matter what your decision is, we will always be together and I will not leave you” I said when she looked up at me cutely before walking to the sofa

“Do you not feel anything for me? Not even a little?” I asked her

“I don’t know, I really don’t know. I just want to go somewhere carefree and just let my mind off”

“Do you want to go on a holiday? I can go with you, we can apply leave and go together” I suggested since it’s been long since we went overseas together

“I can’t, I still have a lot of work to do, maybe in another week or so I’ll be free” she said and I just nodded, feeling kind of excited

“So is there anywhere you want to go?”

“I haven’t thought of a place yet, I’ll let you know”

“Jiyong, I still have some work to do in my room. Rest early okay?” she said and went back to her room

 

She said she was afraid she might fall for me, does that mean she feels something? I just hope nothing goes wrong for us, I remembered telling omma that I was in love with Jiyeon years ago and she was so happy about it. Omma loves her, I mean who doesn’t? She have 3 guys chasing her now, that just proves how much of charisma she have. She gives out this aura that I can’t explain, she is really kind, caring and takes good care of people around her but she can be really fierce too. I don’t even remember the amount of times she beaten someone up because they were bullying someone else. She always put others before her, when is she going to start caring for herself? The reason why I fell for her was because I saw her cooking for me 8 years ago when she just moved in with me. No one other than my omma has done that for me. The girls that I used to date were either being too bimbo and vain, or too lazy to cook for me because they have their nails done and can’t do any chores. Or course Jiyeon is a girl too, she gets her nails done too but I don’t understand why she can do it and others can’t. I laughed to myself while thinking about how I fell for her. All because of a simple kimchi fried rice and she stole my heart.

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.
