In Cinderella's Shadow

-What is happening?

My fingers laced through Jiho's as we walked down the path while swinging our hands back and forth.

I smiled and cleared my throat, looking up at him. "Want to come over at my house? You haven't been there for years."

"Does your house miss me?" He joked, bumping his shoulder against mine and I sighed longly. "Yessss~"

Jiho nodded, walking faster. "Alright, alright, let's go then."

I grinned brightly and we tried to fasten our pace yet in the end we walked slower than before.

While I slipped off my shoes Jiho was already on his way to my toilet and I chuckled, walking into my kitchen. I washed my hands, dried them and looked into our pans and pots to find something to eat.

Jiho came back quickly and back-hugged me lovingly, resting his head on my shoulders while I still check all the food in the kitchen but ended up stopping my action because Jiho was getting clingy.

"What are you doing?" He asked and pecked my jawline while I just tapped the kitchen counter. "Searching for food...are you hungry?"

He nodded and I smiled, turning around so I could look at his face. "You know what? Your friends are weird."

"I can't talk to normal people, that's why I only hang out with idiots."

"Am I an idiot?" I blinked innocently and he nodded, shortly kissing me. "You're my favoritesuper-idiot out of everybody."

I closed my eyes and hugged him. "Thank you for saying this..."

"Anytime, honey~"

I chuckled and made circles on his back with some fingers of mine. "Woo Jiho?"

"Kang Yeunja?" he asked in the same soft voice and I giggled. "How come you were trying to make your friends shut up when they talked about your and their free time?"

"Hm." he paused for a long time before Jiho spoke up again. "I guess they would've talked about me."

"What ?" I loosened our hug and looked at him. Jiho just shrugged. "Maybe embarrassing things? Things I want to tell you myself? There are things I don't want you to hear from other people."

"You are married and have three kids?!" I pretended to be shocked, widening my eyes immensely.

"Yeonnie ah, I'm honest." Jiho my waist and I patted his chest. "Mind to tell me then?"

"N-not now...I'm hungry."

I shook my head and put out plates for the two of us.

After Jiho went home I walked upstairs and saw Heesok sitting in her room, watching TV.

"Hey unnie!" I beamed in a good mood and she shortly looked at me before paying her attention to the screen again.

I frowned and walked up to my room, muttering. "Is there someone on his period?"

The main door opened and a sweet laughter filled the house, followed by my dad's voice saying, "I just couldn't say no, I guess!".

I smiled and slowly went downstairs.

I bowed to Byungsoon and smiled at my father brightly.

"Are you in a good mood, dear?" He asked and I nodded. "Yeah!"

They put off their shoes and jackets before my father spoke up. "I'd like to show Byungsoon our whole house finally."

"Took you long enough..." I mumbled and my father perked up. "Pardon me?"

"Nothing, appa." I waved it off and wandered back upstairs.

I my laptop and checked e-mails over e-mails, texting Jonggyu now and then as suddenly there was a knock on my door.

"Yes?" I looked at Byungsoon smiling next to the doorframe. "Hey, what're you doing? Can I come in?"

I pursed my lips with a nod and tried to smile her way. She looked around a bit, her gaze falling down to the laptop on my lap, my notebook right next to me with a pencil and an eraser on top of it.

"Gabdo told me you work under his label?" She stood next to me and I sent a message back to Jonggyu. "Hm? Oh yeah."

"Are you having fun there? You are a...ehm..."

"-Designer there...but instead of designing furniture I also love to design fashion in my free time."

She nodded walking over to my desk with all my drawings, looking through them. "Those are yours, right? Hm, a lot of boys apparel."

"I guess...most of them resemble my boyfriend since he loves them and wants me to draw a lot." I chuckled and took my notebook into my hands, trying to come up with a design.

"A boyfriend you say? For how long now?" She gave every piece of paper a judging look before she skipped it again to see the next one. I gulped and inhaled. "For four months now."

"Oh really...ahuh. Nice, nice drawings. Try to work more on them." she smiled weakly at me and I did so, too, letting out a monotone "ahuh" just like her.

Byungsoon stood there emotionlessly for some seconds before she cleared . "Well, I'll be leaving. I'll pay a visit at Heesok's room as well."
I slowly nodded and she left. Don't think too bad about her, Yeunja. Don't...

"Yeunja?! Can you give me some ear studs of yours?!" Heesok shouted and I rolled my eyes. "I don't know which ones, come here yourself!" I yelled back and heard her groaning loudly. "As if I come into your messy room!"

I rolled my eyes and just continued to work.

"Jonggyu!" I squeaked from the bottom of my lungs after seeing my best friend again. Another half and a month had passed without seeing him and I hugged him tightly as he arrived.

"How have you been?! How is it going with Yong Ik?" I wiggled my brows at him and he hit me carefully. "I called you just some days ago..."

"Yeah, yeah...let's sit down now."

We searched a pretty little table in the café and settled down.

"And...how's it going with Jiho hyung?" He now threw me a ert glance and my mouth formed a small "O" and I slapped his shoulder.

"I simply asked what you asked me."

"But not with this y undertone, what the hell?" we both laughed softly and he shrugged. "I only see you at work, and we don't talk a lot anymore! How can this happen?!"

I chuckled and a waiter came up to us. "Are you getting something already?"

We both shook our heads and I smiled, speaking first. "Latte...that'd be all."

"Just coffee." Jonggyu grinned and the waitress wrote it down. "Black?"

"No, pink with midget unicorns dancing around it, please." he did some aegyo and I started laughing while Jonggyu just told her it should be black.

The waitress went back with a smile on her face and I shook my head at that comment of Jonggyu. "Did you really have to say that?"

"When I say, just coffee, she should know that it should be just black, shouldn't she?" Jonggyu asked, pouting and I once more just shook my head.

Suddenly his ears perked up and he looked around confused. "Wait...hold the u-" he paused and fell silent completely, even stopped breathing.

"What is it?" I glanced around warily and he exhaled again. "For one second I thought it was a song of Zico, but it wouldn't be shown in radio, sinceee~ ...nothing." He stopped his sentence once again and I pinched my eyes, looking at him. "Song, what?"

"I said, nothing." He chuckled low and looked around, biting his lip.

"Jonggyu..." I leaned back in my chair and he turned to me. "What?"

"What, what? Tell me!" I begged and Jonggyu tried to shrug it off. "I thought it was a song of somebody...but i-it isn't, fine with that answer?"

I shook my head but he remained silent.

Minutes of huffing and scoffing went by until our order came and we both sipped it in silence because Jonggyu still didn't tell me what he meant.

I took a bus back home and opened the door hearing loud music out of Heesok's room.

I knocked on her door loudly and she revealed herself, a cream-mask on, sighing. "What?"

"Put your volume down, they can still hear your music in Mexico...and where did you get the studs from?" Those were my ear studs. So, she really just walked in and took them.

"Byungsoon had given them to me." she flashed me a short smile and closed her door.

"What?!" I boiled but inhaled deeply to calm me down while I walked into my room again.

I pressed my doorknob down and entered with a quiet sigh, wandering up to my draw-desk I always used to just draw sketches.

I shortly looked at the clock, then at my papers and almost yelped.

Almost all my drafts were dribbled over with a black marker, most of them the ones that looked like Jiho.

I stamped out of my room, right into Heesok's. Who else should've gone into my room?

"Did somebody into your brain?! Are you insane?!" I glared her down and she rolled her eyes annoyingly. "Ever heard of the words 'knocking before entering'?"

"How can you do this to me?! You know how much I love drawing!" I barked once more and she stood up. "What isn't that much of a talent."

Heesok snickered as she saw my angered face but just shook her head. "What's actually wrong with you?"

"You drew all over my sketches!"

Heesok slowly narrowed her eyes at me. "Me? Why should I go into your room, scribble over that and go again. I told you I hate going into your room even if it's just to tell you to come down for dinner or whatever. Get the out. And calm down, I wasn't in your room and I haven't done it."

She pushed me out and closed the door, almost hitting my face with it. I slapped the door with my open palm angrily. "I know you did it! I don't know why and how, but you did it!"

I stormed off into my room and stopped at my desk. Tears almost escaped caused by all this hard work I had brought into it that had been destroyed just like that.

I looked up and inhaled again. What is actually happening lately?
