Jiyeon’s POV

 

 

“Oh my God!” Is he chasing after me? What’s wrong with this guy? I already gave him the chance to be closer to Hyorin unnie and yet he actually let it go just like that? What’s he doing following me all the way here?

 

I went for longer strides; I really don’t want to face him right now. I don’t want him to catch up with me and yet he’s already catching up! Oh no!

 

“Jiyeon ssi..” I heard him yell for my name! He’s getting inches away from me! There’s no way I would let him get anywhere near me! I then adjusted my pace; I started running faster and faster. But he did the same! Kyaaaaa. I sprinted more to keep my distance away from him.

 

RUNNNNNNN..

 

Wait. Why am I running like my life is depending on it anyway? Ugh.  How did it become this way? I’m not being professional at all. Just because he chose Hyorin unnie over me, I already felt like ignoring him for the rest of my life. O_o Like what? Did I just hold it against him? I’m taking things too personal. =.= I’m too childish, right?

 

I slowed down my pace after realizing how inconsiderate I’ve been to JB.

 

“YAH! PARK JIYEON!” hearing his suddenly intimidating voice made me stopped abruptly. I remained frozen right to my place. The way his voice turned unusually sour, I guess, is an indication that he’s really fed up with my childish game..

 

He was panting.. breathing heavily when he finally reached me. He held my shoulders, turning me to face him. I was nervous for the first time ever in front of him.

 

“Thank goodness, I finally caught up with you,” full of tenderness and relief took over his voice. His voice was back to the usual JB’s voice, maybe I just imagined his scary voice earlier; maybe it was just a product of my paranoid mind. With that, the thought of Hyorin unnie came back rushing to my mind that I couldn’t help but ask,

 

“ Why did you leave Hyorin unnie? I was so certain I told you..”  my voice trailed off when his eyes narrowed dangerously. No, I’m being paranoid again. I blinked just to make sure that it was all my hallucination but when I opened my eyes, the glint in his eyes was precariously the same that I just forced myself to meet his gaze with all my might,

 

“What?” I nervously asked him. I could totally feel the tension between us.. I don’t even know where it’s coming from.

 

“What’s the problem here, Jiyeon?” his voice suddenly filled with worry..

 

“Nothing, “ I lied, averting my gaze from him. Cold beads of sweat were forming on my temples.

 

“Then why were you avoiding me?”

 

I didn’t respond. What do I tell him?

 

“What did I do wrong?”

 

I don’t know too, I’m not even sure myself, but the way he left Hyorin unnie just like that kept bugging me,

 

“Is it okay for Hyorin unnie for you to be brushing her off like that?”

 

“It’s not the problem here..”

 

“But she came all the way there just to seek you but here you are—”

 

“WHY DO YOU KEEP ON INVOLVING HYORIN NOONA HERE?” he retorted exasperatedly that I almost died out of heart attack!

 

 Did he just raise his voice at me? Now I’m the one fed up here,

 

“Because you’re here when you’re supposed to be there!”  I screamed back! I’m not being childish here, I’m just being honest and reasonable, okay?

 

“WHAT?”

 

“You like her carefreeness, right? Then what are you doing here acting like you chose me over her when in reality you just chose her!”

 

 I’m not the type to lose my composure that easily but he pushed me to it!

 

“WHAT THE?”

 

“Stop acting like you don’t want me avoiding you when in fact, you’re the least bit affected!”

 

Ooops! Now what? He’s looking at me in complete bewilderment. I think I said too much. I mentally slapped myself.  Did I just slip everything to him?

 

Uh-oh. Now, I’ll appear like some Jealous-clingy-assuming co-star  when I’m not! My ego was just hurt.. He significantly wounded my pride, nothing like..argh.

 

 Whatever. I started backing away, trying to run for my life but,

 

“Stop it right there, we’re not done here,” right now, I’m quite sure I wasn’t hallucinating of how unpleasantly cold his voice was.

 

He was definitely speaking grimly, “You’re wrong about everything.”

 

“Neh?” at this instant, I’m having difficulty putting the puzzle pieces together. What’s he talking about?

 

“I hated it when you were deliberately ignoring me,” he sounded so serious.. strangely serious if I may add.

 

“ Sorry if you felt that way, my bad. Don’t worry, I won’t ignore you again.” I’m quite afraid to admit that he actually hurt my pride that’s why I essentially avoided him, “Let’s go, for sure, our director’s looking for us by this time—”

 

“No. it’s not only that..” Now I’m lost. What’s seriously running in this guy’s mind? He’s so unreadable and unpredictable.

 

“I guess it all started when I chose Hyorin noona during the press conference, right?”

 

OMG! Did he just utterly say that right to my face? CRAP.

 

I wanted to curl up in a hole and hide from him, never to see him again!

 

I stayed tongue-tied of course!

 

It’s really embarrassing being exposed like this!

 

“Well..” he seemed to be having difficulty in whatever he was trying to say, “ I was..  afraid of your fanboys”

 

“That’s the most stupid excuse I ever heard,” I blurted out the exact same thoughts running across my mind.  

 

“You’re cute when you’re jealous.”

 

What the ? Is he trying to suppress his laughter now? Did I just turn into a laughing stock?

 

“Do I look like a clown to you?”

 

“No. You looked more of a Barbie doll.”  I knew it. He’s making fun of me now that he caught me.

 

“I’m done here,” There’s no way I would let him trample all over my character.

 

“I thought you’re not going to ignore me anymore?”

 

Pffft. Go away! Like you even care!

 

“I won’t.” I still continued walking away.

 

“Then what are you doing?”

 

“Well..” I don’t know. I just wanted to stay away from you right at of this moment. Didn’t you know? You just hurt my pride once again! PABO!

 

“Our director called for us, haven’t you heard it?” I lied again. FYI, I’m not a liar, I just do it because of him. He’s making me lose my dignity for pete’s sake!  

 

“Kure?” He smiled goofily while walking by my side back to the set.

 

“Stop doing that, you’re creeping me out.” That was half of the truth, his smiles were melting me actually.. I couldn’t take it when he’s smiling like that but that doesn’t mean he’s less of a jerk. He still is a jerk for ruining my ego, for making me feel inferior!

 

“What did I do wrong again?”

 

“Nothing!” I barked at him, totally giving up with his silly and egoistic remarks.  

 

We then reached the set but unfortunately our director was fuming with anger already,

 

“JB , RIAN, where have you been?!”

 

Now, what? I don’t know how to respond sharply. I don’t want to get exposed with my issue with JB. I’ve had enough embarrassment for the day!

 

 “ I.. ahmm.. We w—were j-just,” Yeah, I stuttered just right. What a day! Aishh, so frustrating.

 

Why weren’t I born with an IQ like Einstein?! So that I could easily come up with an excuse. I couldn’t think right.

 

 If only I could use my strength, then I’m confident. Maybe I could kick our director hard on the head so that he’d have amnesia and then he’ll forget about what happened today?

 

Good idea.

 

I’m awesome, I know.

 

 

Hana.

 

 

 

 

 

Dul.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saet.

 

 

 

 

 

There’s no way I would do that! Gosh, I was just kidding, okay? I still have a brain that’s working pretty fine, if you ask. It’s just that I lied too much for the day that I could no longer come up with a witty lie.

 

“Do I have to repeat myself? Where did you two go?!” Our director’s nostrils flared, he was clearly pissed off.

 

Why isn’t JB talking or anything, anyway?!

 

 

Someone help me!
