Best Friends

A Leap Of Faith

We start with some events in episode 14. This is where I'll start to change the story from the script in the show.

 

Typical. My brother didn't tell me he was having surgery. What wasn't typical is that neither Joon Hee nor Shi Won told me--though both of them knew. Some friends.

The surgery went well, thankfully. Apparently it wasn't even that serious. Someone still should have told me. 

Shi Won and I ended up on the stairs--with me on the Chair of Truth. The conversation eventually got around to my brother's feelings for her.

"He's one of my closest friends." She said of him. "Just like you." Just like Joon Hee. "But the person I care about the most--it's only you. How about you? What do you think? You don't need to explain anything else. Just tell me if you still like me. If you don't tell me in three seconds, I'm going to kiss you on the cheek ten times."

What do I think? I don't even know what I think. My closest friends are her and Joon Hee. They both like me. Who do I like?? Why don't I know?? Ugh. This is killing me. I'm a guy, so I guess I like girls. But, loud obnoxious selfish childish girls? Shi Won is comfortable for me--like her parents are for each other. Sure they yell and hit and threaten, but at the end of the day they have each other. Shi Won would give me that. What would Joon Hee give me?

She started counting. I decided to try. I leaned over and pressed my lips to hers. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It really doesn't make any sense." Joon Hee was telling me. "This is invading my private life. We have no power to do anything. It's the hospital's new rule. I should do what I'm told." He was obviously lying. The longer he talked, the more ridiculous he got. I'm stupid but I'm not THAT stupid. 

Because I'm not that stupid, I let him lie to me. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

My brother called me for a favor. He wanted me to meet the daughter of his colleague. It sounded like a blind date to me, no matter how much he insisted it wasn't. 

Author's Note: the following is included in the next chapter, but in more detail. You can skip this last bit and head to the next chapter, or you can read both. So sorry for my stupid error!

When Shi Won called me for a favor later, I was happy to do it. It felt good to admit to her colleagues that I was her boyfriend. Shi Won certainly wasn't thrilled about my announcement. I don't know why. I drove Shi Won home afterwards. She wouldn't let me in her apartment. She wouldn't even give me a good night kiss! What kind of girlfriend is that?!

 

Joon Hee was packing when I got home. I thought he wasn't going to start until this weekend. Was he really that eager to get away from me?

"I'm going to be lonely without you." I admitted. "I've never lived alone."

"It'll be better if you live alone now. Wouldn't it be better to be alone if Shi Won will be visiting sometimes?"

"Yeah, you're right." I nodded. "Hey, leave right now!"

"In that case, I'll stay forever." He teased right back before he went back to being serious. "Why don't you two just live together?"

 

I wasn't going to post this till I wrote more, but I feel bad making the readers wait. Sorry for the short chapter. It'll get better. :p

I stumbled upon the picture and loved it.

Chapter 15: I don't know why..but new career is better written than this. Don't get me wrong! I love this story (haven't watched the drama tho..too sad they didn't end up together ;-;) and it's so much better than most of the stuff here, but it seems like you put more love in writing new career^^ but I still loved this a lot~ when will you update the last chapter?

Chapter 15: Re A/N Yes, after reading New Career I can see how your other stories have been treated like the neighbors neighbor step-children.

Dong Il and Il Hwa when they went to have in the car and got caught. I was rolling. I was like car smex in a sedan is like one of the best places. Kyaa. I wonder if I should join the Single Friends Adventure club here? They go hiking, take trips to casinos, wall climb, horse back riding, take in shows, etc. You chose which events you want to participate in. Hmm, "I'm thinking; I'm thinking..." I've actually thought about this for the past three of years -about how long my gay husband has been going steady, grrr- cause all my local friends are married and the single ones live 7+ hours away.

I enjoyed this. To me you could potentially settle this in three chapters. No need to drag it out. It seems to have reached it's natural close to the end anyways.

Chapter 14: hahaha, yes, that is something Tae Woong would say. I'm glad that you went for that verse the alternative. Confusion and misunderstandings have their place but not all the time. Clue scenes from You're the Best Lee Soon Shin, Cheongdamdong Alice, and Bride of the Century. I was like all this misunderstanding drama is ruining my enjoyment of the kdrama. But like a glutton for punishment, I watched every episode.

Chapter 13: Re A/N it's tough being a writer. And Eun Ji's fangirling over H.O.T. was like one of the best things ever.

*I don't know why I kept calling her Eun Bi when it's Eun Ji* Though I loved Eun Bi in Flower Boy Ramen Shop. That was a good story. And I felt so bad for her about her missed opportunity with her Dad.

Chapter 12: See I knew 'Kisses' was important. Yoon jae and Joon Hee took on opposite roles of confidence. And that makes a huge difference. So readers should read 'Kisses' for the a deeper understanding into the psyche of the boys. Pfft, it's purely for ah, erh, literature understanding of the fic.

Chapter 11: *furiously blushing* author-nim? What do you mean that people could skip this chapter as it had nothing to do with the progression of the story? I found it gave me a tone of insight into the characters development. It was a must read. I'd be clueless if I just went to 'Aftermath'. Really. Boy-scout swear. 'Kisses' was integral.

Chapter 10: Seo Guk gets that dreamy look when he's being all manly compassionate and comforting. Pulling Hoya in his arms. And talk about two kinds of lips that are meant for kissing. yes sir-ree I love him as a love interest lead in dramas. Though I think that Eun Bi has been the only one that has matched him for vitality on screen. Korean women have to worry so much about their image and dating rumors that their acting suffers for it.

Chapter 9: Oh, Yoon Jae that's so aggressively cute. Go ahead and kiss him in front of everyone and let's hope that Joon Hee will be gentle with you.

Re A/N. Someone took back there upvote? Is that even possible? It shouldn't be allowed.

Chapter 8: And how difficult must it be for men to come to terms and allow themselves to love who they love? Not saying that it's easier for women but women tend to get a gentler pass. People keep on thinking they'll do a man to but right now their just in love with a woman--or that's how I tend to think people must be cause they get real hostile about gay men but women are just....Idk how to express it but do you understand what I'm saying? Like one of my minor in psych courses Human uality had a term for women in college LUG - Lesbian Until Graduation but there's no term for me. And the 60+ plus students in class all had this look like, "yah, that's understandable. DOn't want kids and not ready to date." And I was like, what? Is it an thing? Gosh I'm really feeling old since the whole twitter incident. I need to recall youthful and fun stories to share with you. I'm not bitter anymore but I'm close to going in the bathroom to in my stomach and count my wrinkles. Truly.
