T.O.P's P.O.V

 

I wanted to avoid any contact with thoughts about her, but ever since that night she has been troubling my mind. I thought about her smile, her tender eyes, her innocent stare, everything that involved her.

I thought that with Seungho I was, at last, going to clear my mind from her. I haven’t dated in a while, that’s why I am getting weird ideas about Eunjung, right? As cruel as it may sounds there’s nothing special about her, she is not the prettiest girl I have seen, nor the most stunning visual, she is not ugly, though, but her visuals aren’t that shocking, to be honest. I tried to believe that, and to some extent it is true, Eunjung is not the most stunning looking girl, but my mind can’t see to avoid the thoughts about her.

I kept convincing myself there’s nothing special about her, but yet again I found myself thinking of her smile and the way she blushes every time I turned to stare at her. I’m being serious, she has some weird blushing issues, how come she is blushing all the time? But I find it quite cute, and these are the moments I mentally slapped myself.

I was too distract in my own thoughts to pay attention to what Seungho was saying until he shut up for a moment. I turned to stare at him when then he stood up to greet someone at the stairs.

I blinked staring at the person I have been trying hard to avoid. All my tries to get her off my mind came crumbling down the moment I saw her again, but she didn’t prove me wrong. I said that she wasn’t the most stunning type of girl, and she just prove more than right tonight. She didn’t look that bad, but it seriously look like she couldn’t care less about how she looked, and even though I tried to convince myself she wasn’t looking pretty, I couldn’t help but find her cute in some way.

Damn, I really should stop now.

Trying to avoid her I grabbed my phone from the back pocket of my jeans and tried to distract myself from looking at her. I just needed to pretend she wasn’t there at all.

But the person I have been trying hard to avoid was right in front of me with Seungho’s girlfriend. I tried to ignore her, but it was difficult when I felt her stare on me.

I felt like an eternity trying not to look at her, trying to pretend she wasn’t there because she was affecting me.

I just couldn’t help but bit my tongue when she started talking about that boy she met in a hotel. What was so great about him that she still remembered him? Was she so foolish that she didn’t fear boys like him might have bad intentions?

I feel the urge to protect her, but why do she trust every stranger she meets?

Then Seungho started saying he thought we had something, but she denied it. But what really surprised me was that she had the nerve to say I wasn’t her ideal type. Come on, I’m every woman’s ideal type.

Yeah, I got myself to believe that, but the more she said I wasn’t the less confident on myself. I became so annoy that I responded she neither was my ideal type, but she look unaffected by it. I’m starting to think I’m the only one feeling annoy.

Seungho decided to end our argument and I couldn’t be gladder. I didn’t like this defensive side of Eunjung. I didn’t like how she just casually rubbed on my face I wasn’t her ideal type.

What was she doing to me?

I decided to not spare her a look for the rest of the evening. I was not letting myself feel weird by her presence, but then I couldn’t help but feel hot.

Soohyuk started talking to her, and I wanted to bore a hole through his forehead. That player didn’t mind his victim and didn’t waste a second to attack.

But I shouldn’t mind them, is not my problem, but again why am I so annoy?

Then suddenly they stood up and Eunjung followed him downstairs. I felt the urge to stand up and make sure to strangle him if he tried a move on her. I was not permitting him to touch her, but I stay in my seat until I was consumed by the urge of seeing what was going on between them.

I felt way too hot. I was so annoyed, so tempted to go downstairs, I didn’t have the force to battle the urge, so I stood up and without saying a word I just walked down.

They were talking quite comfortably until Eunjung notices me. Soohyuk turned to me and chuckle, and I swallowed down the need to go down and punch him.

“What are you doing here?” He boldly asked me.

I didn’t think of an excuse, so I just blurted out the first thing I thought of.

I didn’t like the idea of leaving them alone again, but I said I was going to the restroom, so with one last look I walked to the restroom.

I was heated by the situation. I just couldn’t process what was happening between the two. I didn’t want to think about the possibility.

I just the faucet and splashed water on my face. I let out an exaggerated sigh. I needed to calm myself down.

I knew I was being too obvious, but I was just about to explode. I didn’t like the idea of Eunjung and Soohyuk. Scratch that, I just didn’t like the idea of Eunjung with another man. And again, what am I even saying?

I turned the faucet off and finally exited the restroom, but the sight my eyes met stunned me. I remained in my spot motionless, I just couldn’t help but stare at them.

Soohyuk leaned closer to her and I felt the heat burning me up, the urge to just punch Soohyuk and beat him up was shaking me up, but I remained calm.

I saw him kissing her cheek so lovi

Chapter 51: Wow... When I read your story I felt like I was riding in a roller coaster. I was happy for Eunjung, I got confuse over Seunghyun's behaviour towards Ej, and I got stress when Ej was sad in your story.
Thanks for making this beautiful story authornim. Even though I was hoping that you would give a more intimate ending for Ej and Seunghyun, but that's okay... I know you've worked hard for this story and I'm grateful you didn't hang out 'barefooted' in the first place.

Once again, thanks for your hardwork authornim. Hope you have a great year ahead :)
And I wish someday you'll write about Eunjung and Seunghyun again. A romantic and happy ending one. :D

Chapter 48: Oh gosh he was so pitiful in this chap...
But I like it that he became braver and took risk to meet Eunjung.
Just if Eunjung trusts him again.......
Thanks for this long chap.
