Chapter 23. Soon.
Loneliness.. will it be forever?
" Y-yah! What are you doing here?? "
" I..I.. happen to.. no. i was about to return my book! " Woo Hyun quickly replied, grabbing a random book from the table.
" You read? "
" I don't. "
" WHAT? "
" Lied, i do. " Woo Hyun laughed.
" You're just so fun to be teased. " He said again.
Di Young just looked away, not wanting to reply anymore.
Immediately, Woo Hyun stopped laughing.
" Yah, whats wrong? " he jabbed her arm and asked.
" DONT. ASK. " she said, and lay onto the cold table.
" Wae? I'm curious. "
Di Young did not reply - again, she turned over to the other side.
Woo Hyun stood up, and went over to the other side too.
" Tell meee~ please?~ " He pouted.
Di Young opened her eyes and fake a smile.
Woo Hyun smiled back, his eyes shining, ready for her to tell.
" So So? "
Di Young stopped smiling, " No. "
His reaction was immediate.
" WHYYYYYYYYY! Don't you trust me? "
*( Don't you trust me? Trust... him? I trust him... right? )* Di Young asked herself.
" I... trust you.. " She said under her breath.
" Then why don't you want to share what is happening to you? "
" Not that i don't want to... but... "
" But? "
" I.. know i can't tell. "
" W- " He was being cut off my Sunggyu.
" Yah! Woo Hyun ah! Why are you here?! You told L that you have work to do right? " Sunggyu asked, raising his eyebrow.
Flashback.
Infinite sat at their usual seat.
" Oh yah! It slipped off my mind! i need to borrow a book regarding -some topic- " Sunggyu while stirring his lemon tea.
" Woah, Hyung. Again? you went there 2 days ago.. " L said.
" I did? "
" Omo.. hyung, have you forgotten about it?? you brought back a ton of books! " Dong Woo reminded him.
" I must have been too busy.. " Sunggyu said while rubbing his temples.
" Hyung, you want to go now? time is almost up for breaktime~ " Hoya asked.
" Hmm. Lets go. "
" I want to borrow a book too!! " Sungjong shouted.
" You're not kidding me right? You. Don't. Read. " L said with his eyes wide open.
" Ani, i'm NOT. i DO read! "
" Alright alright~ make sure you do! " Hoya teased.
" Hyung! "
" Kekeke! " they laughed.
End of flashback.
" I..I... "
" You told them you have got work to do? and.. you followed me?? " Di Young asked, surprised.
" I... "
" Hyung! explain to us! jebal! " L shouted.
" Boys, keep your noise level down. " The librarian said to them, putting a finger on her lips.
" Mianhae! " L shouted back.
The librarian threw him a glare, for shouting again, before turning back to her book.
Infinite members scrambled over to Di Young & Woohyun's side.
" Hyung, what is happening? " Sungjong asked.
" Ehm... " Woo hyun started.
All eyes were fixed on him.
" Di Young! can you go over to the other side for now? i'll explain yours later on. "
Di Young looked at him for a while, before nodding and walked away.
" So..? " Sunggyu asked again.
" She looked kinda depress - AGAIN. "
" So, that's why you followed her? " Dong Woo asked.
" Yeah. "
" Did she say anything? " Sungyeol asked, after a long silence.
" Sadly, no. She said that she know that she can't tell. "
" Can't tell?... is it a secret or something? " Sungyeol wondered.
" No one knows. apart from herself. " L said while looking over to Di Young.
She was standing by the window, looking out of it expressionless, lost in her thoughts again.
" Can i... excuse myself from here for a moment? " Woo Hyun asked.
" Sure. go explain to her. be careful with your words~ you don't want to hurt her, right? " Sunggyu said.
" Ne. Gomawo. " Woo Hyun thanked and started his way to Di Young.
" Hyung! your book! pali ! the bell is going to ring any minute! " Sungyeol exclaimed.
" AHHH! MY BOOK! " Sunggyu woke up and ran over to the shelves, followed by the rest of them members, helping him to
search for his book.
Meanwhile, Woo Hyun reached Di Young's side.
He tapped her. No response.
*( 1 and 1/2 more months... and... this scenery will not be seen again.. )* Di Young thought sadly.
*( Did i tap her too lightly? )* Woo Hyun scratched his head.
" Uh... Di Young? " He called softly.
Di Young turned, " Ah! Mianhae.. i didn't hear you calling, "
" That's alright. Anyway... i followed you because you seemed kind of listless. Not because i wanted to return a book. Keke. "
Woo Hyun laughed, embarrassed.
" Oh.. I see. " Di Young smiled back.
" Okay! the air is cleared now! i'll get going! Annyeong " He waved and walked towards the rest of Infinite.
While Di Young just made her way back to class.
" Did you see that!? " Jin Hyun screamed at Da Eun and Mi Ra.
" Woo Hyun talked to her!!! " Jin Hyun clenched her fist tight.
" They are going to pay for it... soon... i'll make sure they lose their status. " Jin Hyun gritted her teeth.
" Yeah, what have you got to lose? money? your appa has got all the money in their hands, waiting for you to use it. " Da Eun
said.
Jin Hyun just smirked in reply.
