A walk to remember

If We Ever Tie, Choose Me Instead

             You walked by Woohyun’s side while Myungsoo walked by yours. Your hands were still being held by both boys, so it’s hard to not glance down sometimes. Woohyun’s face was smiling all the time and he would always check up on you. Myungsoo on the other hand he always looks forward and was quiet most of the time.

Two hours past and you were getting tired of walking and plus you had to go to the bathroom badly; you could hardly stand up straight. You didn’t want to tell anyone because it would be awkward for a group of all boys to stand and wait for you outside the woman’s room. And you couldn’t go alone because you felt unsafe at this place.

*Ugh, I really have to go now!* you looked down at your hands trying to see if you could free yourself but their grips were too tight. You then tugged on Woohyun’s hand and waited for him to bend down.

“Woo, I have to go to the bathroom badly.” You whispered but it was loud enough for Myungsoo to hear it. Once Woohyun heard you he looked around seeing if he could spot a restroom, but he couldn’t find one in sight.

“I can’t see one right now, can you walk?” He asked worried. You nodded biting your bottom lip.

Someone then patted your shoulder for attention.

“I saw a woman’s room couple blocks ago, I’ll take her.” Myungsoo offered looking at Woohyun.

“Do you want to go with him?” He started walking already when Woohyun asked you what you wanted. You nodded quickly and slowly released his hand from your grip.

“Don’t wait up for me Woo!”

 

Meena’s POV

I slowly let go of Woohyun’s hand and called after Myungsoo. He stopped in his tracks and waited for me. In surprise he then held his arm out in front of him. I ran to him and grabbed his hand so that I wouldn’t lose my balance.

“Kaja.” Myungsoo smile and guided me to where he saw the restroom.

The line wasn’t long; I was the third one to go in. As I closed the door I smiled at Myungsoo. He was nice enough to stay and keep watch outside.

When I exited the bathroom Myungsoo was leaning against the big tree that was across from me.

“You want to go back and look for the others?” He asked as I walked towards him.

I shook my head. “ Ani, my legs are tired, do you mind if we sit?”

He leaned in towards my face with his hands behind his back. “Even if I do mind I can’t leave you here all by yourself.” He said ending with a smirk. “Unless you want me to?”

I back away disagreed in his question. He then left without holding his hand out. To be honest I was kind of sad, his hand was so warm and soft I really didn’t want to let go.

“Are you coming?!” He shouted almost half way down the block. I quickly cleared my thoughts and ran over to him. “Let’s go inside for something hot. It’s getting colder further into the evening.” I nodded and agreed.

As the cold wind blow harder, my face was getting drier and I could barely feel my hands so I rubbed it together and breathed some warm air into it. If I knew it was going to get this cold I would’ve brought mittens.

My loud breathing disturbed Myungsoo in his thoughts so he turned his head to face me with a annoyed look. I noticed and stopped my actions.

“What, is my breathing bothering you?” I asked.

“No just the fact that you’re cold.” He took my hand and rubbed it with his. I couldn’t help but blush; luckily there was very dim light where we were standing so he couldn’t tell.

We entered a café that was opened 24 hours and took a seat next to the counter where it was the warmest.

“Feeling warmer now?” He asked giving me a heart stopping smile. I nodded taking a sip of my beverage. He continues to look at me from the time we walked in. “So what do you like about hyung so much?” He blurted out so openly it nearly made me choke.

           “Why do you want to know Myungsoo?” I asked curiously.

           “So that I know what I’m competing against.” He burst out laughing after his own reply but still I could tell that he wanted to know my answer.

          “Mm, why I like him?” I asked myself. I pursed my lips and started thinking.  “Even though I’ve only been here for a couple of weeks we shared a lot of moment together back in China. We’re not the most similar people but I like everything about him so there’s infinite reasons why.” I explained while avoiding his eye contact the whole time.

              When I finished he sat back stretching his arms with a smirk on his face.

              “You know you just admitted that you like him. So I knew I was right.” I glared at his plan in tricking me. I can’t believe he got me to say that, I’ve never told anyone how I felt about Woohyun before. His charm can make any girl to do or say anything. “So memories? All I have you do is make memories with you?” I shrugged in his reply not knowing if that’s the right reason or not.

              Myungsoo got up suddenly and made his way towards my side but I didn’t bother looking up because I was too busy enjoying my drink. Without noticing he grabbed my phone from my pocket. No wonder he stood there for a while he was eyeballing it from a distance.

“Yah, give it back!” I demanded trying to snatch it but he was too fast. I sighed and gave up knowing that I couldn’t win again him. He sat down again with his smirk printed on his face while looking for the power button. “It’s on the side.” I helped

“Oh, gomawo.” He smiled and looked up before pressing the button. I rolled my eyes as I watched him flip through my phone. He took about two minutes then handed it back to me. ”Now you have my number.” He pulled out his phone and smile showing me his screen. “And I have yours.”

I shook my head not believing what he just did. As I was smiling a memory popped into my head, well more like a flashback.

 

Flashback

“Na Na where were you?” Woohyun asked in much panic.

“Mian Woo, I was going to call you but I forgot that I didn’t have your number.” I explained my failure to him. He smiled at my forgetfulness. “What is it?” I held up my phone typing in the numbers he gave me.

All the Korean exchange students entered the auditorium, somehow I ended up sitting next to Woohyun. I don’t even recall standing next to him in line but I won’t argue with that.

The guest speaker hasn't come out when the person next to me lightly poked me in the arm. I turned to face him, having a hard time seeing his face. He was facing the stage avoiding my eye contact but in his hand was his phone.

“What’s your number?”

I smiled quickly showing my screen to him. I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched him entering my number into his and checking it twice to see if it was right.

He handed my phone back and continued staring at the empty stage like nothing had happened.

End of flashback

 

The smile was still plastered on my face forgetting that Myungsoo was sitting right in front of me. He raised an eyebrow at me without saying anything. When I finally noticed I cleared my throat and sipped my drink again, pulling my selves down to cover my hands then wrapping it around the cup.  

“Kaja, we should go before your precious Woohyun starts worrying?” He got up grabbing his drink and exiting the café. Once I heard him I wasn’t sure if he really meant what he said so I quickly ran after him after thanking the employees.

“Myungsoo, do you really think he worries about me?” I asked cheerfully while I opened the door. He shrugged his shoulders holding out his hand. I stood there pouting refusing to hold his hand until he tells me what he meant by what he said.

“Ahh, you’re so stubborn.” He said shaking his head.

I sighed and walked past Myungsoo’s hand. He looked at me in disbelief and just followed behind stuffing his rejected hands down his pants pocket.

*Should I believe his word?*

 

Myungsoo’s POV

               I walked behind her, staying a few feet away. * Hmm, no one has ever rejected my hands before.* A smile stretched across my face without me even knowing, I hid it from the public’s eyes by looking down at the segment ground.

              We have walked about half an hour trying to find our friends, but they were never in sight. I’ve kept my eyes locked on the girl in front of me. She never bothered to glance back. What if I leave her then what will she do?

              I slowly made my way toward Meena’s side. As I approached her she could barely keep her eyes open. I placed my hand under hers and locked fingers keeping her from falling the other way. She struggled to the point where she couldn’t walk straight and rested her head on my shoulder standing in place.

              “We have to keep going Meena.” She shook her head pouting. “I’ll piggyback you.” I offered but she didn’t answer, so I took it as a yes.

              I kneeled down and she climbed on. I quickly stood up with her on my back and started walking again.

              “Yah, why are you so heavy?”

              She suddenly faced me with her eyes closed.

              “Why are you so weak?” She snapped back. I kept quiet and just carried her making my way through the crowd.

              “Meena~ah can I ask you a question?” I asked shyly biting my bottom lip. After a few seconds I felt a slight nod on my shoulder. The thought of asking her the question circled around my head. Is the question too personal? I think I should change it, but I’m actually curious.

              “Myungsoo,” She whispered in my ear. Goosebumps popped up on my arms as I choked out an “Mmm” sound. “Are you going to ask me or not, I’m on the edge of falling asleep.”

              “Ah, nope I forgot it.” I lied.

              “Arasso.” She sighed mumbling the end. I cracked a smile holding her tightly in my grip not wanting to drop her in her sleep.

              It was half an hour till midnight. More and more people started arriving; it was getting harder to move through them especially with someone on your back. It was also way colder than it was 2 hours ago, and still no sign of the boys.

              I rested at a bench hoping they would come across us. I gently placed Meena next to me. As I sat down breathing warm air into my cupped hand a thought popped into my head. She never actually answered the question about my name; well it wasn’t the answer I was hoping for. I turned to her and both corners of my mouth came up. It wouldn’t hurt if I asked her again.

              “Meena~ah, why do you call me by my real name?” I asked quietly almost in a whisper.

              “Because I prefer Myungsoo’s personality.” She answered in a while. I was surprised most girls like the way L acts, cool, manly and cold around people. I turned and faced forward again thinking about her answer. I myself am not clear on who Myungsoo really is. I haven’t been like this in such a long time that I forgot who I really am.

              *Meena, only you could bring out Myungsoo and not L.* I thought as I faced her.

              “Hyung!” I heard from my right. My head turned to that direction as I tried to make out who the girly voice belongs to. It was Sungjong along with everyone else. A smiled showed on my face as I stood up to greet them happy that they’re here.

              “What happened to Meena?” Woohyun asked in panic.

              “She was tired so she fell asleep.” I explained to him. His face relaxed and nodded understanding my words.

               “Thanks man for taking care of her. I owe you.” He patted my back with a smile. I nodded and stood aside making way for Woohyun to get to her.

“Yah, Myungsoo seems to be opening up a lot since he moved here.” Sungyeol started, moving his eyebrows up and down adding a creepy smile. “I wonder why.” He finished while turning his head towards the sleeping girl. I pushed him away by the chest and joined the other members.

“Sungyeol’s right for once.” This time it was Sunggyu’s turn to speak. “Is it because of Meena?” He asked directly placing his arm around my shoulder. I glanced over at Woohyun and cleared my throat.

“Yah, enough about me.” I nudged Sunggyu’s arm off and spoke again.”Woohyun you better get her home, she was complaining how cold she was.” I said not knowing how caring I sounded.

“Oh, there he goes again.” Dongwoo’s voice ringed through everyone's ear as he laughed at me.

 

Woohyun’s POV

              I listened to their conversation uncomfortably as I sat next to Meena. *I really shouldn’t have let them go alone.*  

             ”Woohyun you better get her home, she was complaining how cold she was.” Myungsoo said while avoiding my eye contact. Hmm, out of the 5 years I’ve known him he has never sounded so caring toward any one before. I couldn’t help but to think the guys were right.

             “Arasso.” I gently placed Meena on my back balancing out my balance as I stood up.

             “Hyung.” Sungjong called. I looked up waiting for him to make his way towards us. He handed me two pieces of candy. “The lemon candy is for Noona.” He ordered. I nodded promising him. Even if Sungjong is the youngest out of all of us he sure was a scary magnae.

              I walked to the bus stop, the same one we got off of 4 hours ago. The bus came just as I reached the stop. There were plenty of empty seats. I choose the seat closest to the door placing Meena in first. When the bus started it hit a bump, I quickly looked at her to see if she was wakened. Luckily she was still sound asleep.

              “Woo why is it so cold, it’s not even winter yet.” She murmured suddenly. I puffed my cheeks out and shrugged my shoulders. To make her warm I took my jacket off and placed it on her.

              “Is that better?” I asked her not even sure if she hears me, but I got a slight nod from her.

***********************

              You arrived home on Woohyun’s back as your parents carried you into the house. They thanked him for you and wished him a safe trip back to his own home. Your mom was nice enough to wipe the makeup off your eyes. It wasn’t difficult because you put on a thin layer. She then tucked you in leaving the piece of candy that Sungjong gave you on the table beside your bed.
