Just like I said

I’m moving on

 

I’m at the bar with Joy and Seulgi

After I told them my “Joohyun-no-more” agenda

which btw seulgi named, I know it’s lame

Joy thinks its lame too but whatever

 

I’m feeling myself tonight

 just got a promotion from work

Also, them sending me somewhere else

which is nice

 

Fresh start

 

“A toast for ‘Joohyun-no-more’ and work promotion!”

 

“stop using that it’s so lame”

 

“It’s not! you’re just jelly I get to name it first!”

 

“whatever seul, congrats on the promotion seungwan and where are you headed to anyway?”

 

“Tokyo, don’t worry it’s only temporary like 2 months. The next thing you know I’m back here with you guys celebrating”

 

“ew? We won’t miss you that much, now enough talking and let’s go to the dance floor!”

 

Typical Joy

 

“I’m gonna miss you seungwan, But Joy is right let’s go!”

 

I just let myself get drag to the dancefloor

 

 

After fooling around with strangers

some of them is interesting

But I decided to go home

One-night stand isn’t my thing

 

 

A week after

you decided to call me for lunch

because you said you miss me

 

I wanted to say no but I think this would be our last

I haven’t told you I’m going to Tokyo

That I’m going to be away for awhile

Because I know you would be sad

 

“Hi Joohyun, Where’s Suho?”

 

I’m not concerned about him

I just haven’t seen him in Joohyun’s home

who knows maybe they broke up

 

silly me

 

“He’s been busy with work so its Just us today”

 

good to hear

 

“How are you anyway?”

 

Believe me or not

Joohyun’s been busy too

We just talk through phone

 

“I finally got my 2 days deserve rest, the project we’ve been working for months is done. Now I finally got time to catch up with you, What’s new to you seungwan?”

 

“um nothing? It’s still the same like everything I told on call”

 

I’ll be gone for a while

 

“Nonsense! I bet you met someone hmm? you’ve been extra careful with me lately, I noticed it during our calls don’t deny it seungwan”

 

“fine you got me, yes I met someone”

 

I lied of course

I don’t want to tell you I’m going to Tokyo

its better this way

 

“where did you met..um Hi-

 

“Her”

 

 I wanna laugh so bad

 

“oh? so where did you met Her?”

 

why did you have to emphasize that??

 

“at the bar”

 

pause

 

“at the bar, great”

 

I take it back

you look so scary right now

 

“yeah she’s nice”

 

“I bet she’s pretty”

 

not as pretty as you

 

“But I bet I’m prettier, right?”

 

did she say what’s on my mind???

 

“No”

 

Shut up!

 

“No?”

 

you stood from your seat and you walk towards to me

I take it back please don’t hurt me

 

I closed my eyes

 

“Seungwan open your eyes”

 

I did open them

and there you are

 

“Tell me, Is she prettier than me?”

 

why do you have to be this close???

 

“N-no you’re prettier”

 

damn it

 

“what? I can’t hear you”

 

“I said you’re prettier than her”

 

“good to hear”

 

and just like that you’re back at your seat

looking at me with that not so innocent eyes

Oh Joohyun, what are you even doing?

 

--

 

“Seulgi, Help me”

 

“If this isn’t important I swea-

 

“Joohyun is on her way here at my apartment and she didn’t know its my flight today!”

 

“You didn’t tell her it’s your flight today?? what is wrong with you??”

 

“Look, I just don’t want those awkward Goodbye and her to be sad. You know Joohyun can be clingy sometimes no wait ALL THE TIME!”

 

“Seungwan, you’re so stupid. I’m afraid I can’t help you this time, Joy was right you guys are weird”

 

“Yah seulgi!”

 

“Seungwan? your door was open so I came in and I- what is this?”

 

again,

the Universe hates me so much

 

“Hi Hyun, It’s my flight today”

 

“Today? where are you going?”

 

“I got a promotion at work last month and I’m leaving today, I’m off to Tokyo”

 

stay calm seungwan

you’re doing great

 

“Why didn’t you tell me? what If I didn’t tell you I’d come by today?”

 

“I’m sorry, I just don’t want to see you sad”

 

” Sad? more like angry right now with you seungwan”

 

its better this way

 

“I have a flight to catch Joohyun”

 

“so just like that? you're not gonna say sorry for keeping this from me? Fine”

 

and you’re gone

 

I have no time for this

This is the only way

 

--

 

2 weeks in Tokyo

Never tried to contact anyone from home

If I wanted this to work

I have to cut my connection from home

 

Incoming call

 

huh?

 

“Hello?”

 

“I hope I didn’t get the wrong number but it’s me last night”

 

almost forgot

 

“Of course, how can I forget that voice”

 

“What a charmer, are you free right now?”

 

“for you? yes”

 

“Okay stop that, for real are you free? can we like grab a lunch?”

 

“Let me just tell them I’m going out for lunch and I’ll call you back”

 

“Okay see you cutie!”

 

I never realized I’m smiling the whole phone call

until one of my co-workers pointed it out

 

I could do this

 

--

 

"You wanted to extend your contract?" 

 

"If you would allow it, Sir" 

 

"Are you sure?"

 

"Yes sir" 

 

"Okay, I'll update them about this. I see that you enjoy your stay here huh? good to know" 

 

I'm surprised too that I don't want to go home
