WooHyun’s POV

I followed the two of them to the rooftop and peeped through the door when they were talking. I could hear Hyomin asking LeeJoon to not disappear from her life and wow, I didn’t know he inflicted such damage on Hyomin. Damn this jerk, how can he hurt someone so angelic like Hyomin? I continued listening to Hyomin speaking until I hear no more speaking. I thought they were going to leave but I was wrong. Right after a few moment of silence, I heard someone crying. I looked much closer and I saw Hyomin crying. And when I saw her crying, my heart sank immediately. Why is she crying again? But there was no need the answer anymore. I totally forgot about the question when I saw LeeJoon walking over to Hyomin and hugging her.

My eyes turned wide open and I was literally cursing him under my breath. I could see that Hyomin was trying to break him from him, but she failed. So in the end, she stayed in his hug and continued crying. After that, I could hear LeeJoon whispering something to her, but I wasn’t really sure what he said. But right after he spoke, Hyomin cried even louder and I could see LeeJoon hugging her even tighter. I couldn’t take it anymore. If Hyomin wants to cry, she can cry with me hugging her, not with LeeJoon.

In the end, I couldn’t take it anymore. I walked out of wherever I was hiding at and shouted: “Let go of her!” When they heard my voice, Hyomin looked up immediately and escaped from LeeJoon’s embrace. I walked over to their side and grabbed Hyomin’s hand and turned to LeeJoon. “Hyung. Thank you for caring. But I can take it from here now.” And I turned around, prepared to walk away, but in the end, I was being stopped by LeeJoon. He gave me a confused look and said. “What do you mean by that?” I stared straight into his eyes. “What I meant is, get the hell out of here and never appear in front of her again!” and I stomped off with Hyomin behind me.

When we got somewhere that was really far away from the school, I finally stopped my footsteps and started calming down. I totally forgot that Hyomin was right behind me, with me holding her hand still. Just then, Hyomin tapped my shoulder and said. ”Er, is it ok if you let go of me now?” Instead of letting go, I still held onto her hand and I stared right into her eyes. She seems kind of scared when I did that. I sighed and said. “Don’t cry because of him anymore.” She gave me a confused look and said.”Huh?”

I could feel that my tone was getting much more serious now. “Don’t cry because of LeeJoon anymore. He isn’t worth it. And if you need a shoulder to lean on, I am always here. Please make me the first choice instead of just crying in LeeJoon’s embrace. My heart broke when I saw you crying, and you don’t know how much I wanted to be in his place when I saw you in his embrace.” I paused a while to see Hyomin’s expression and I could see her freeze there like as if she saw a monster. I pulled her into a hug and whispered. “We might not know each other that well, but I was sure that it was you and nobody else when I first saw you.”

I ended the hug and gave her a smile. “You might think I ain’t serious about this, but trust me. I have never been this serious about a girl. But it’s ok. I know you need time to think about this. I won’t force you or anything. I will just let nature take its course and I will prove to you that I am the right one for you.” She gave me a nod and that’s all. I was actually expecting something more from her but I guess it was impossible. I smiled and offered to take her home but she rejected the offer. I complied with her decision and made sure that she left. But actually, I followed her throughout her route home since I wasn’t really sure about letting her go home alone at night. I only left when I was sure that she has already entered her house.

Hyomin’s POV

After hearing what WooHyun said, I felt like I was stuck to the ground by some superglue and my voice couldn’t be found anymore. I just couldn’t find the right words to use. When he ended the hug, I looked up to him and I could see pain in his eyes. For some reason, I felt really guilty. He was smiling on the outside, but I was really sure that he had already broken in pieces after what he said. He offered to send me home, but I rejected, since I needed sometime alone, to think about what just happened. Even though he complied with what I said, I knew that he was actually following me all the time. I didn’t stop him from doing this though, and I have no idea why. Normally, I would have chased the guy away and make sure he doesn’t have a chance to follow me.

When I went into my house, I went up to my room and look down from the window. I could see WooHyun’s back view get smaller and smaller. After losing sight of him completely, I sighed and lied on my bed and started to think about what happened today. After that, I decided to call Jiyeon and ask about her and tell her what happened.

Jiyeon’s POV

It was actually a relief that Myungsoo forgave me although I didn’t expect it. Just then, I thought of something. Since he heard about me saying that I wanted to leave, it was possible that he heard me saying things about Myungie. And since only Yeonnie would know about Myungie, I guess he would be able to guess that I am Yeonnie. So in the end, I plucked up the courage and said. “Myungsoo, I have to ask you something.” He replied. “Yes? Just ask.” I nodded and continued. “Did you … like hear anything about me saying something about Myungie?” He looked shocked upon hearing my statement. But then, he started smiling. “Of course I did. It was so loud!” and he continued smiling. My heart sank when his sentence ended. So he heard it, but it wasn’t important to him? Does this means that I ain’t important in his heart?

“But it wasn’t surprising to hear you saying about Myungie.” And he stopped his sentence. I gave him a confused look. He continued his sentence. “Because, I have known that you are Yeonnie from the start.” And he gave me a smile. I was shocked at his sentence. “In that case, why didn’t you come and tell me about it?” I know I sounded a little bit angry when I was said that. He looked at me and said. “Would you believe it if I told you that?” I thought for a while and shook my head. “See? I knew it!” I wasn’t really able to comprehend his last sentence though. “What do you mean by you knew it?” He looked at me and said.” What I meant that is I know you too well.” And he chuckled. I blushed at his statement. My heart was thumping real hard when I hear him say that. This proves that he still remembers everything about me.

“When I found out that you were the one that I was looking for, I was really happy. Trust me, I really was. But I wanted you to find me instead of me just telling you that I am Myungie. And you know what? For these 10 years, I have never forgotten about you, and because of you, I blew up my first relationship.” My heart sank when I heard that he had a relationship in the past. I thought he would wait until we meet again and be each other’s first love so that’s why I didn’t get into a relationship before.

“But I didn’t regret it at all.” He continued. “Because of her that incident, I was able to know who I really like. And it’s you Jiyeon. Right from the first moment you approach me when you were young, I already liked you, and it’s just that I didn’t have the courage to admit it. But now, I won’t ask you to be mine first. I will let you know more about me before I confess to you officially. So before I confess to you, you had better not get into another relationship alright?”

At first, I was really depressed at the fact that he didn’t want me to be his for now. I am depressed because I have already waited for him for 10 years. But I felt a little bit better when he told me to wait for his confession. Well, since I have already waited for 10 years, I guess waiting for a while more wouldn’t kill me right? I stood up before replying to him. “Hmm, we will see. I think I will get a boyfriend first and wait until you confess alright? Since you are already in a relationship, I guess I need to have one ex-boyfriend in order to make it fair right?” I giggled and was prepared to walk off until Myungsoo grabbed my hand. He stopped my tracks and made me look at him. “You can’t do this! I have to be your first and also your last! Promise me that!” I chuckled and said.” We will see alright?”

I continued teasing him for a few more minutes before saying out my true feelings. “Alright Kim Myungsoo. I promise you but please don’t make me wait for you that long.” Upon hearing my answer, he let out a smile and said. “Promise.” I nodded and he continued. “I will sent you home alright?” and again, I nodded.

Throughout the whole journey back home, we kept talking about the past and without realizing it, I reached the doorstep of my house. Time passes so quickly when the two of us are together. After a while more, I went into my house and we parted ways. When I reach home, I received Hyomin’s call. She asked me if I was ok and she apologized for not chasing after me. She told me what happened between her, WooHyun and LeeJoon. I was totally shocked that WooHyun confessed, well, not really shocked actually. I asked for her feelings and she couldn’t reply. I guess she isn’t ready though. I told her about what happened between Myungsoo and me too, and she congratulated me. Oh well, I was really happy that she did that since she was my best friend.

After a while later, we hung up the call and slept. At first, I thought that we would be leading peaceful lives for at least a few days. But I was wrong; another fight is coming towards me and Hyomin soon.
