A year later
The Friend ZonePoint of view : Hyomin
You have an instant message from Joon
Joon : Baby..
Hyomin : Hm?
Joon : I miss you.
Hyomin : Me too. So much! When are you coming back from Seoul?
Joon : Tomorrow. I promise.
Hyomin : You're missing school, Joon. Its your final year. I want you to graduate.
Joon : I will. Do you have to remind me all the time about my finals?
Hyomin : If I don't who will?
Joon : I love you.
Hyomin : I know.
Joon : So what did you do last night?
Hyomin : Oh, wait till you hear this! i was just dying to tell you all day, it's so exciting! You'll never believe it. I-
Joon : I sense sarcasm here. Let me guess : You watched TV.
Hyomin : Introducing... Joon and his psychic powers! Come back soon. I've turned into a zombie since you left.
Joon : Its been two days.
Hyomin : Really? wow.
Joon : I gotta go. I love you.
Hyomin : Love you.
Joon has logged off
Point of view : Hoya
I watched as Hyomin smiles by herself. "Probably thinking of that Joon, again". I can't believe its been a year already. Its been a year since Hyomin and I last spoke to each other, text or emailed each other.
Hyoyeon : Hoya! (she pounced me from behind)
Me : Don't do that. (I sneered)
Hyoyeon : I'm sorry. (she sighed, I ignored her) What are you doing?
Me : I'm wrestling a ninja. (sarcastically) I'm sitting, can't you see?
Hyoyeon : Oh.. (she looked down)
I've been with Hyoyeon for a year now. Something has changed. Her jokes aren't funny. I get annoyed by everything she says. She laughs at everything. She flips her hair too much and her clothes are too tight. How could I have not seen this before? I can't even stand her perfume.
Me : I have to go.
I gave her a kiss and left. I wonder I just refuse to break up with her. Maybe because I'm afraid I won't have anyone else. I saw Woohyun and went up to him.
Me : Dude, I can't stand her.
Woohyun : Jeez, man. Chill. (he laughed) Who?
Me : Hyoyeon.
Woohyun : It took a year for you to realize it?
Me : Help. (I held his shoulders)
Woohyun : Maybe its just a phase. Every couple goes through it man. (I frowned) Just go, compliment her, give her a kiss and walk her to class. And be a real man. Not like the jerk you are now.
Me : Hey!
Woohyun : I'm not the only one who thinks you're a jerk. Trust me. You should see how you treat her.
I kept quite. I knew what he was talking about.
