DAY 12

[JUNG JIYEON]

After surviving from the airport’s crowd with all the reporters taking photo and asking questions, we finally made it home. I have been appearing on the media so frequently nowadays and I really hate it. Why can’t people just leave us alone, isn’t this part of our own personal life?

“I don’t think I’ll be able to leave this apartment alive after all of this” I said only to have him start laughing

“Yah, they are not going to kill you okay plus I have really supportive fans” he said while unpacking his luggage so I decided to on the television because I was too lazy to unpack yet

“Isn’t that Junhyung” I was whispering to myself but it was loud enough for Jiyong to hear that as I saw him turned around before sitting next to me to watch

“Junhyung-ssi, are you still with Jung Jiyeon?” it was a press conference, the reporter mentioned about me

“I’m sorry to say that we have broke up”

“Was it because of Goo Hara? Did you cheat on Jung Jiyeon?”

“I didn’t cheat on her, this happened after the break up” he answered firmly while many camera clicking sounds and flashes can be heard and seen in the background

“Why did you break up with Jung Jiyeon?” is he really answering that? Is he going to be honest in front of so many people?

“I want to come clean with everyone today, I didn’t break up with. She broke up with me, there was this one day when Hara suddenly texted me and I didn’t tell her. I admit, I didn’t have the intention to tell her anything at first but she found out. For your information, I didn’t reply Hara. No matter how many times I called or texted Jiyeon, she refuse to reply me so I wanted to make things clear between me and Hara. I then contacted Hara and asked her to meet up at my place. But someone took a photo of her outside my apartment and sent it to Jiyeon. After pleading for forgiveness, Jiyeon eventually forgave me for this. Some time later, we were having a date outside, Hara suddenly appeared and claimed that I was the one who asked her to come but I didn’t. Jiyeon got angry and left the place” he was explaining halfway when someone suddenly interrupted him

“Is this why Kwon Jiyong went on a vacation with her?”

“Please let me continue, thank you. After she left, I went to her house to look for her, I was at her lobby when she suddenly came down along with Jiyong-ssi. She said she wanted to take a break. Then I found out Jiyong-ssi liked her too, he challenged me since we were in love with the same girl. Whoever who manage to prove to her in a month shall be the one, so I agreed. But I failed, I didn’t make time for her because I was lazy” he stopped here, he really did come clean. He was honest. Jiyong looked at me while I just gave him a small smile as I didn’t know how to react to this.

“What about the latest photo of you and Hara? Are you both back together?” I want to know the answer to this as well.

“After Jiyeon quitted her job as my manager after 8 years, I was feeling really lost and upset. I didn’t know what to do so I went to a pub to drink then I got drunk. The next day when I woke up, I realised I was in Hara’s house but I didn’t know she took a photo of us. Also on that very day, I made it clear to her that I only love Jiyeon” he still loves me? He got drunk because of me?

“I sincerely apologise to everyone. I’m sorry” he said and left before giving the reporter anymore chances to ask him anything

“Jiyeon ah, are you okay?” Jiyong asked me as the entire press conference was literally because of me

“I’m okay, just feeling a bit guilty because he have to go through all these and it’s partly because of me”

“It’s not your fault, stop blaming yourself. Go and take a rest in your room first, I have to go back to the office for a while” he hugged me and left the house with his messy luggage left on the floor still

I’m just lying down on the sofa, looking at my phone when I suddenly realised today’s date. 18 December, tomorrow is his birthday. First time in 8 years I’m not there to celebrate with him. I went into my room and took the photos I took with him, I was suppose to paste it on the wall but things happened too fast. I opened my drawer and placed them beside Mino’s, I looked at it for a while before closing the drawer back.

He mentioned that he was drunk that’s why he didn’t know he was at Hara’s house. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to believe but he didn’t sound like he was lying. But after so many things has happened, it was really very hard for me to trust anyone except for Jiyong.

Mino’s text interrupted my thoughts, he’s here? I looked at the time, 8pm. I guess I could meet him for a while, I told him to come up since he is already downstairs.

[SONG MINHO X MINO]

I’m sitting down in her living room while she went to make me a drink. I wonder how is she dealing with all these, I saw the press conference just now and it was all mainly about her. Also the articles regarding Jiyong hyung and her, were they really dating or was it just a simple vacation?

“There you go, coffee for you” she said as she passed me the cup, it still smells the same as before. I took a sip and yes it’s still the same, I missed this.

“It’s still the same as before” I said and smiled at her

“Anyway, how are you coping? Everything okay?” I asked and she knew what I was talking about

“Yeah, just don’t feel like going out. Dealing with reporters is not my forte” she said and laughed a little

“So… you and Jiyong hyung?” I really didn’t want to ask but I needed to know if they are really together

“We are not together, or should I say we are not together yet” she is considering? Is there really no chance between us?

“I guess I have no chance anymore huh” I said and looked down

“Yah Minho, you will always be my friend. I appreciates that you tried but I really can’t, I’m sorry” she looked kind of upset, I know she hates rejecting people. The word ‘friend’ broke me, if that’s really the case, I think I should really give her my blessings

“I understand, seems like Jiyong hyung really touched your heart” I said and she started smiling. She probably didn’t realise she has already fell in love with him. Her smile look genuine. When she was with Junhyung, I could tell that she wasn’t feeling it. Maybe it was because she felt that they didn’t spend enough time together.

“Jiyong really tried very hard. He makes me really happy with the thing he does for me” he is definitely the one for her, I haven’t seen her so happy in a long time

“Jiyeon ah, thank you for treating me as a friend still. I sincerely wish you and hyung the best” I really do, I meant every word I say

“Thank you Minho, you seem really free these days. Don’t you have anything to do?”

“I’ll be busy soon with WINNER’s new comeback”

“You can always drop me a text or call when you need to talk to someone, I’m just one call away” she assured me and patted my head

I guess we are better being friends rather than me trying to get her, seems more comfortable this way.

Junhyung ☹

Friends with Mino, will it be so simple?

In love with Jiyong?
