Alternate Title:  Loving You Alone Was Never Enough

By   eternalapluself  & aegyobby

Dear readers,

    Annyeong! It is my first time to write a story here in Asianfanfics.com. First of all, I would like to thank my twin sister (aegyobby) who patiently proofread my work. I'm sorry for my ish grammar. Hehehehe. Also, I'd like to thank especially God, who always makes things possible for me. Another in my list are the rest of my family, friends and everyone else, who is reading this.

  Thanks!

Yours truly,
Fa

- Being Taeyeon's friend for years, she knows what the things her friend dislikes and likes.





 

 

Nam Woohyun's circle of friends:

 

Lee Sungyeol

- Lee Sungyeol is the good-looking choding prince amongst them. He always acts childish, but his naive personality makes him an adorable one. He is the tallest one amongst them. His friends sometimes criticize him for having an idiotic brain, knowing the fact that he is the tallest one. You know, what that means. With a great height comes a small brain. Eh? Just kidding.

- Unintentionally & often intentionally, his sarcastic remarks constantly annoys Woohyun. His words might actually sound nonsensical at first, (since he always talk in a way like he is an idiot kid) but analyzing the deeper meaning of his remarks, one might actually say that he talks sensibly after all.

- He knows Woohyun a lot, for they have been friends since middle school. He can easily feel whether his greasy hyung lies or not. Since Woohyun is such a big liar, Sungyeol easily distinguishes his greasy hyung's intentions. Who the hell does the greasy Nam Woohyun think he is fooling? The Choding prince? Nah! Sungyeol's instincts are as sharp as a tiger. Woohyun hates Sungyeol's usual contradiction to him which often makes him think that Sungyeol is always on Sunggyu's side.

 

Lee Howon

- Lee Howon, also known as Hoya is the quiet yet the one with an exceptional wit amongst Woohyun's friends.

- He is ingeniously clever which made his friends foolishly think if he actually reincarnated many years ago into the Howon they know. If he was actually a psychic, shaman or whatever they say back then. But nah! That is just a silly thought of his foolish friends. He can easily feel whenever Woohyun is trying to hide something from them. When someone is hiding something, Hoya is the one who can easily guess what that person is trying to conceal. That is how smart Hoya is. Even the stupid Woohyun can never escape from his sharp instincts which is even sharper than the Choding prince's instincts.

- He is usually quiet, but when his witty side attacks, Hoya becomes the who loves fooling around. Hoya is the manliest and bravest amongst them.

- He is the dancing machine of their circle of friends. He also loves martial arts. Howon appears to be the neutral one because he does not want to involve himself in the personal issues of his friends.

 

Jang Dongwoo

- Jang Dongwoo is always known to be the dinosaur-looking guy who appears to be a witty one, like Hoya. He acts childish sometimes, but he always love saying remarks which are like Sungyeol's. Well apparently, those remarks usually sound ironic which piss Woohyun a lot.

- He is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves playing around, but he is a good friend like the others. He only wants what is best for Woohyun, but the latter does not mind listening to his advices. Of course, Woohyun is a narcissistic brat. Just like the childish Sungyeol, Woohyun thinks of him as someone who is also always on Sunggyu's side which Dongwoo, himself finds very absurd.

- Though he is an easy-going type of person, he is a responsible man. He does not neglect the responsibilities he must do as part of the Jang family. He is the most gentleman amongst their circle of friends. Perhaps, this man appears to be the one who laughs like a fool at certain times, but once a person gets to know him, he is very gentleman & caring, especially to women. He always bear in his mind that the precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.

 

Kim Myungsoo

- Kim Myungsoo, also known as L is the stoic & flower boy of their circle of friends. He is usually serious, and appears to be someone whose brain is out of this world.

- L is the one who Woohyun treats as his ally amongst them. He does not mind it though he finds it very ridiculous. Why does Woohyun need allies by the way? It is not like he is struggling on a war or something. It is not like he does not give a damn to Sunggyu & Woohyun's relationship as siblings, but it is just that he does not want to involve himself to their personal life. It is their personal life, so why would he meddle? He is just only their friend, so he always bear in his mind that he does not have the right to involve himself in such issues.

- Myungsoo loves hanging out by himself whenever he feels bored.

- He might actually be serious often, but he also has the jolly side inside him. He also loves teasing Woohyun around since the infamous greasy man's pissed off face is priceless.

- For him, his face is his best asset. Since he knows that he has a good-looking face, he always takes care of it as if it is the most precious possession he has in this world.

Cha Sun Woo (Baro)

baro

- Definitely, he is someone that anyone can lean on to at times of difficulties.



 

Lee Junho

junho

- Lee Junho is a jolly type of person who works as one of the staff members of the Hope Café.

He is an outgoing and happy-go-lucky person. Junho loves joking around to ease up anyone's mood. He is a close friend of his fellow staff members, Kikwang, Yoseob & Baro.

- He is very close to his buddies, Yoseob, Junho & Baro.

Mr. Bong

kim chang wan

- Mr. Bong is a very wordy & keen person. He works as the assistant manager of the café. He usually says meaningful but rather vague statements which usually confound the staff members of the Hope Café. He mostly says things regarding love and relationship (esp. aiming for one's heart which usually confuse Sunggyu & Woohyun badly). In other words, he usually acts like a cupid who matches up two hearts.

- He is known to have great instincts, and knows that the Nam brothers, Sunggyu & Woohyun harbor interest towards the only female staff member of the café, Taeyeon. With his old age, he truly knows what the youngsters feel. He has lived for many years in this world that no one can hide any secret from him. He can easily make a person give in to something. If he insist something, then you can escape from doing his request.

- Mr. Bong loves teasing Woohyun & Sunggyu in an indirect way in order for him to see how these two young men do their own move in order to win Taeyeon's attention & perhaps, her heart as well. For him, seeing an in love man's face is priceless, and the two men are not an exception.
