Chapter 32
우린 용원히 (My Forever)
You are walking at Hangang River side by side with Myungsoo. You still don't know why would Myungsoo wants to meet you. Well, You never cared then but after what Woohyun said, You were suddenly confused with everything going between all of you.
You blew a raspberry trying to kill boredom as well as to prevent yourself from asking Myungsoo anything Woohyun-related. It's not that you don't want to know the truth it's just.. You are SCARED of the truth. Why? First, Because even though Hoya and Dahae is this close to dating, You know that she still has feelings for Myungsoo. Second, You will never think of Myungsoo the same as before because he might misunderstood everything that you do and you only think of him as a friend. And lastly, Woohyun. You don't know why he's being one of your problems and it's just..
"You must be cold" Myungsoo took off his coat and then held your shoulders. He leaned in and encircled you with his coat. He left it hanging on your shoulder and gave you an amusing smile, "What's bothering you right now? You know you can always tell me everything right?".
His gentle side made your lips curved into a smile and said, "You know, The first girl you'll ever fall in love with would be so lucky to find a man like you".
"That's the thing that bothers you?" Myungsoo furrowed his eyebrow and smirked at you.
"N-No! It's not that.. What makes you think there's something that's bothering me right now?" You slapped him lightly and scrunched your face.
"Nothing. It's just you seem to be in deep thought while walking here. Usually someone who sees the Hangang river for the first time would be astonished at its beautiful sight but you. You seem like there's something distracting you" He muttered.
"Anyways, You think the first girl I would fell for would be happy?" He repeated.
"Uhm" You nodded readily. "She would be very lucky. You are such a nice guy, Myungsoo. Anyone would fall for you" You gave him a reassuring smile.
"Well not everyone could be anyone" Myungsoo looked up at the sky and then looked at you through his peripheral version.
"What do you mean?" You looked at Myungsoo. Myungsoo stuck his tongue out, "Nothing".
Silence begun to envelope the two of you as the two of reached the mall nearby Hangang. The thought of Myungsoo's sitcom having to end struck you as you remember the other staffs talking about its failure and what you admire about Myungsoo is he is just cool with it. He tries to smile even though you know that acting is the thing he loves the most other than performing.
"I'm sorry" You mumbled out of nowhere. Myungsoo glanced at you and tuck your fringe in your ear, "Why?".
"On your sitcom. I know you were thrilled to be a part of a sitcom but I'm sorry that, that must have to end" You looked away trying to look at the people surrounding you.
"I'm cool with it" Myungsoo shrugged coolly. "It's not like it's your fault anyways, Life goes own. I mean, If there is a next time, then I should wait for it. But if not, then maybe acting is not my forte". He whispered the last three sentence which made your heart clench.
"But you love acting and performing the most" You insisted.
Myungsoo let out a gentle chuckle as he patted you. He eyed your expressions for a bit and he can feel that you are worried about him. *Wrong. The thing that I love the most is that when I'm with you and you're with me. Just knowing that you are here to support me, gives me the strength to go on again*
"I don't know. A guy from KBS offered me a project and it seems interesting. My role was said to be one of the lead roles in that drama and that drama is a major project considering there's a lot of huge actors and actresses will be part of that drama, as well. So..Should I turn it down?"
"NO!!! Why would- Congratulations! I'm happy for you. You finally got what you deserved" You automatically hugged him to express your gratitude. "You should accept it!"
Myungsoo smiled inwardly. Your sweet and calm scent enfolds the two of you. He couldn't help but treasure this moment as he hold you. Your soft curls falls perfectly at your rights side some touches his face.
He bit his lip as he tightened the embrace. *Only you can make me feel like this. What did you do to make me go crazy for you like this?*
You suddenly broke away from the hug after you felt that it is not right to hug him in public like that. "I-I'm sorry. It's just I'm happy for you" You giggled sheepishly as you looked in his eyes.
"So that calls for a celebration? I'll pay for the food. You can order for anything you want."
"Aye Captain" You saluted. He offered his arms for you and you entangled yours as you walk down the streets, giggling and chuckling endlessly.
Woohyun is strolling at the mall, trying to enjoy his time, regather his thoughts and relieve his stress. He has a great perception that Myungsoo is with you right now because Myungsoo has this big smile on his face eversince he woke and left. Woohyun knows that Myungsoo would't be smiling like that if it wasn't for you. He tried to enter each and every store he'd see but nothing appeals him the most.
A shop has caught his eye since one of the clothes displayed reminds him of a certain person the most. Woohyun looked closely at the item and smiled, "This will surely fit Wonhee".
He entered the shop not minding the girls recognizing him, squealing with joy knowing a known member from a known idol group is walking past them. He searched for the same clothing at the racks but he couldn't find any.
He tilted his head from left to right to find any assistance until he found a sales lady. "Hey miss, Do you still have any stocks for the dress displayed outside?" Woohyun asked.
The saleslady gave him a disappointed look, "I'm sorry sir but someone already got the last stock for that one. If you want, I would just help you find another dress. For whom shall you give the item, Sir?".
"Uhhh.. Just someone. Is it already sold?" Woohyun inquired. *Please say no*
"No! Because the girl, who got it has to be still in this store since she asked me for the same item a while ago so I think you can compensate for the item if you want and if she would allow you to have the item since it's still available after all. Why? Is it for someone special?"
"Uhh" Woohyun scratched his nape and gave the girl a sheepish laugh. "Kinda"
The sales lady gave him a smile, "Well then that person must be really special". The sales lady spotted the girl who got the item, "Oh Sir! I think it's her! The girl in brown coat with her hair in ponytail". She pointed at a slender girl's back figure.
"Really?" Woohyun's head perked up as he spotted the girl. "Thanks a lot" With that he shuffled to the girl's place.
Dahae is holding a dress with a hanger, holding it shoulder-length and steadied it as she examined the dress if its right for her. She is having a hard time picking one of the two things that caught her eye but she couldn't buy one of them since she's also going to buy Wonhee a Christmas gift and this time she wants to see Wonhee wear a dress and she knows that Wonhee would do anything for her because she knows Wonhee can't say no to her.
"Arrrgh! This one?" She raised a floral dress and looked at it closely. "Or this one" She raised another dress which made her scrunched her nose. Then he hugged both clothes, "Aaaah! I can't let go neither of the two. I want to buy both of them! AIIISH!"
While stomping and ranting incoherent words, A guy went past through Dahae and immediately snatched one of the dresses she picked. Dahae caught the guy red-handed and gripped on his wrist and then glanced all the way upward when-
"WOOHYUN?!"
"D-Dahae. It's you" Woohyun stuttered as he tightened his clutch on the clothing as he hid the item on his back *Caught*
"What are you doing here?" Dahae eyed him suspiciously as she examined him from head to toe.
Woohyun stand up straight and uncomfortably scratched his head, "Uhhh.. Ahh.. Uhmm.. Just buying.. You know.. Some stuffs".
Dahae crossed her arms, "Yeah? And what kind of stuff is that?".
"I'm in a boutique so that means I'm buying clothes. Isn't it obvious?" Woohyun raised his eyebrows as she waited for Dahae's response.
"Ohhh.. So that explains the stealing of the shirt which happens to be the last stock available. I even begged the saleslady to give me their one and only stock and then you are just going to that hide in your back?"
Woohyun bit his lip and lowered his sight, "It's just.. I find this dress suitable for the person I'm going to give it to. So, Here". He revealed the clothing and then gave it to Dahae.
Dahae looked at it and shrugged, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you have it. That girl must be really special so, I guess I'm going to give it to you".
Woohyun's face lightened as he looked at Dahae's expression, "Really?".
Dahae nodded and smiled, "Of course. But before you thank me, Can you pick which of these dresses fits the best for me?".
"Uhmm.. I think the cream colored one"
"Thanks. I'll just buy this one" Dahae turn her back on Woohyun and smiled in victory. *Hah! I'm not dumb Woohyun. It's for my sister that's why I gave it to you, Dumdum*
"So.. Is it okay if I ask who is this lucky girl, We are talking about?" Dahae asked Woohyun lively.
"She's just someone I knew" Woohyun respond awkwardly.
Dahae nodded and said, "Is it someone I know?".
Woohyun opened his mouth to say something but a loud grumbling noise distracted from saying. "What is that?" Woohyun asked.
"Uh.. I think It's me. Sorry! It's just I didn't ate breakfast and this diet thing stresses me out" Dahae sheepishly said.
Woohyun tilted his head on the streets then looked at Dahae, "How about we eat lunch first? I'm starting to crave food now since we are infront of many restaurants and fast food chains".
"Call!"
Dahae and Woohyun stopped in a mini-restaurant a few meters from where they were a while ago. Dahae entered the shop and a loud ping welcomed her. Woohyun is just following her, immersed in his own thoughts.
"I think I'll just order- Wait! Isn't that Unnie and Myungsoo?" Dahae pointed at the two familiar persons at the back of the restaurant, having their own conversation. Wonhee is laughing at something which made Myungsoo smile.
Woohyun cocked his head on the said direction and he couldn't help but feel jealousy and insecurity towards them. He tried his best to make an i-don't-care-expression but his heart subsequently betrays him.
"Just order the food and I'll just go to their table, 'kay?" Dahae grinned then walked away towards the two.
"Dahae wait-" Woohyun shouted. But before she could hear it, She's gone.
Woohyun stared at the counter, trying to organize his thoughts. *I might as well face the two of them, even though it's hard to see the two of them together*
I am kinda expecting any responses from you guys. I may not show it but what you say cheers me up to make some chappies from this story.
