Smile
It's Complicated
Choi Minhwan's POV:
During band practice, Jonghun-hyung would be sneaking to check on his phone and sends a message every chance he can get. And every time he does that there is a big smile on his face. While Jaejin-hyung on the other hand, he is either looking at him with a confused look on his face or he tries to ignore the happiness Jonghun-hyung is feeling right now. JAEJIN-HYUNG I THOUGHT YOU ARE SMART?! WHAT HAPPENED? I can’t help but get annoyed with this drama I am seeing but I am unsure of what to do also. Aish! Adults are so complicated!
I wanted to verify Jonghun-hyung’s theory myself. I’m going to do some experiments. I went to Jaejin-hyung who was busy practicing his bass. I’ve never seen him try so hard before.
“Hyung.” I called out on him softly. But he didn’t even move one bit. He just kept on playing with his bass. I tried to call him out again. “HYUNG.” This time he looked at me.
“What is it?” He went back to playing as soon as he asked me why. Oh shoot, I went up to him without thinking.
“Uhmm..so..uhmm.. What do you think?” It looks like I don’t have his interest. But whatever.
“About what?” he asked indifferently.
“About Jonghun-hyung’s confession?” I wanted to smack him hard in the head right now. I just want to let him know everything but I can’t do that. I sighed in my thoughts. Looks like I got his attention. He stopped playing for a second with a complicated look on his face.
“Nice.” He answered plainly. Does this mean Jonghun-hyung’s theory is true? But I still want more proof.
“So how is Mina-noona like? I mean, I did meet her a few times already but I don’t know her that well. I’m just wondering what made Jonghun-hyung like that?” he looked at me with eyes as if evaluating the value of my existence. I was frozen in my place unsure of what to do next. He went back in playing his bass and answered my out-of-nowhere-question.
“Let’s just say, she’s weird.” I’m not sure but I think I saw a faint smile on his lips. I never thought a small smile can be that so complicated; filled with memories, regret, love, pain, happiness.
I walked away somehow convinced about Jonghun-hyung’s theory. But something feels not right also. I looked back at Jaejin-hyung, his face still filled with confusion. And this time, I let out a big sigh.
