(THURSDAY AFTERNOON, AT THE MUSEUM)
"There's so many.", Chaeyoung said when she saw a bunch of crowd gathering in front of a stage. The two of you can see also the name of the event based on the average sized looking LED screen on the background.
"You're nervous?", you looked at her, turning your head on the side as you placed your hand on her shoulder gently.
"A little.", she shrugged, heaving a sigh. "Maybe my artwork won't be that eye-appealing compared to others. I'm thinking that they won't be impressed by it.", then she looked down on her painting covered not only in cartom but in plastic too.
"Chae, I recommend that you don't need to get affected too much by it.", you said, waving it off at her.
"Sure, it may not be that good as the others but just take it in a good way so that you can improve it next time.", you nodded at her.
"But trust me, I know many will like it. Come on, you're the Chaengcasso right?", you teasingly bumped her arm, smirking at her which is a great effect for her to laugh a little.
"What's with the brought up of the nickname?", she confusedly asked you but still keeping the smile on her face. "As if like that name is iconic and legendary to others.", she snorted.
"But for you, it is.", you said to her. "Self-encouragement. Believe in your work by remembering one thing that made you be in here today. One thing that gave you passion to do and continue something you love... like this." , you presented to her the painting she's holding.
"Wel if that's it then I would love to add another new name for me.", Chaeyoung smiled at you.
"Oh? What is it then?", you both raised your eyebrows to anticipate for her answer.
"Well actually there's one too which I think it would be better to combine it with my name.", Chaeyoung said, stroking her chin like she's thinking of something. "I really admire this person so much these days.", she placed both her hands on her chest right at where her heart beats.
"Really? What's the name?"
"L/N"
"U-uhm... I d-don't know but I'm starting to like Michelangelo too. I-I watched his artworks and his biography in YouTube weeks ago.", she said, scratching her nape while bowing her head as she looks away at you, hiding her blush not because of what she said verbally but what's in her head instead.
She sighed too as she felt disappointed in herself because she was saving her biggest hint of confession to you on her artwork reveal and she nearly ruined it by her being so freaking whipped at you.
After she said it, you nodded interestingly by pouting your lips too while doing the action. Right at the moment, you two along with the rest of the people inside the museum; heard an announcement coming from the voice behind the speakers that all contestants should head backstage as the event is about to start.
"Cmon, the show's about to start. Goodluck up there! Win or lose, you're still the winner for me.", you said to her, grasping both her shoulders as you made her look intently at you.
"O-kay. Wish me l-luck, Y/N!", Chaeyoung said as she slowly nod at you while stuttering. You just gave her a smile as she starts to walk away from you and patting her back one last time.
"You can do this, cub.", you shouted from her back.
You saw her rubbing her cheeks from behind but unbeknowgst to you, Chaeyoung is doing that to remove the overly blush she's having because of that too close of a contact between your faces.
(30 minutes later)
You are now sitting in your seat in the middle area of the audience, just finished watching the introduction of the contestant who just left the stage. You remembered that Chaeyoung will appear at #8 spot and since that the previous contestant is #7, you became excited to see your friend finally face the crowd and flex the art she made.
The host finally encouraged Chaeyoung to come out, which she followed. The small woman with black long hair tied in pigtails slowly walked to the center of the stage. You and her had an eye contact, giving her a thumbs up and a huge smile. Chaeyoung can't help but to melt and gain even more courage to do this.
"Please state your name and describe to us the artwork you will present.", the host said.
Chaeyoung grabbed the microphone from him and she starts to speak, facing the audience including you. She removed the cloth covering her painting, revealing it's design that made you stunned in your place.
Jaw dropped, eyes wide open, eyebrows all raised up. Your heart starts to beat up abnormally, feeling super touched at what your friend just did.
"Hi everyone, I am Son Chaeyoung, 23 years old. My artwork is called "My Only Man".
As you can see in my painting, I used surrealism style to paint a face of a man. It actually belongs to my one and only male bestfriend. Actually he's right here today in the event to support me.", she pointed you from the crowd and all the people looked at you amazingly. You got a bit embarassed as she literally took everyone's attention, and she even made you too do it.
I chose him as the subject of my work, which I could proudly say that it is a masterpiece of mine because he acually is. Because I want to show everyone how proud and how I cherish my f-friend with all my heart that I can brag about him and I thought that... I should do it right here today by putting him on something that matches him as a person.
My purpose of using surrealism style because that's like what I feel when I'm with him. With such a no fun girl like me, it feels like i'm still dreaming that I had a friend like him and after having him in my life, it makes me don't want to wake up instead from this dream.
His personality and painting has some common thing with each other for me. They're both beautiful, colorful, fun to spend my time at and it made me f-fell in love with too.", she gave you a look and the crowd teased you by doing these sounds that implying she just expressed her love to you... but to you though knowing how dense your head is, it doesn't mean like that so you just gave them an awkward smile and a chuckle.
"So yeah, I hope you all understand my story and I hope you all liked my work. Thank you!", the crowd gave Chaeyoung a huge round of applause which you did the same too. She returned back the microphone at the host as she heads back to the backstage, giving you one last glance and a smile.
"Is it really something else?", you muttered to yourself after rewinding back the part of Chaeyoung's speech where the crowd made you super shy at their teasing.
(30 MINUTES LATER)
"And now, the contestant who won the first place for our Art Gallery Entry event is...
Contestant number 8, Ms. Son Chaeyoung!!!", her eyes popped and covered her gaping mouth quickly in shock. You stood up from your seat, showing your happiness at her victory by raising both of your fists and clapped harder for her.
She will receive a cash amount of 500, 000 won and a trophy plus as an additional reward, her artwork will be featured here in the art gallery of champions section of the museum! Please, come here in front and receive your award.", then Chaeyoung slowly heads back at the center of the stage as the judges and the host gave her the trophy and the paycheck before taking a group picture.
(3 minutes later)
"Y/N!!!! I DID IT!!!", Chaeyoung ran to you and attacked you with her crushing hug while squealing in happiness.
" YEAHHH! SEE! TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN DO IT. Congratulations!!!", you said it to her happily, close at her ears while hugging her.
"Thanks!", then she lets go of the hug, facing you with her most adorable state so far. "D-did you like what I made?", she gave you a huge grin.
"Very much.", both of you chuckled. You even muttered a huge wow before continuing. "I can't believe it. Chae... you really did that for me? That's sweet."
"Hehe... yeah. I was thinking first on what to use and then... when I remember that you're a masterpiece to me... I didn't think again twice to make you as my subject.", you can't help but to blush at Chaeyoung's heart-fluttering words.
"That's a bit over with the masterpiece hehe.", you said in disbelief, raising and lowering your eyebrows fast. "But I'm really touched, Chae. Seriously. You're one of a kind friend, you know that?", she heard the word that makes her hurt much by the reality, slowly lowering her smile but forcing it not to form into a frown.
But she can't let this still within her anymore. So she decided to do her main agenda for today by finally confessing to you in a clear way.
" I a-am but you listened to what I said there right? "
"I do. "
"So do you now know how much I-"
Chaeyoung got interrupted when a man wearing a nice formal attire with an ID wrapped around his neck and an eyeglass approached her from the side. "Hello, Ms. Son. Sorry to interrupt but..can we have your time to spare for a while?We just need to have your interview for this event's documentary, if that's okay to you.", the journalist kindly asked your friend.
"S-sure. It's fine to me.", Chaeyoung nods which made the journalist smile in success. "Y/N, I'll be back for a sec, okay?"
"Take your time, Chae.", you nodded at her and she starts to walk away from you, a bit irritated that she was already near at it but that stopped unexpectedly instead.
While you are looking around at the venue of the event, you got startled when you felt that some someone bumped you on the side of your back, making her accidentally fell on the ground.
You quickly turned around, realizing it's a pure white skinned woman who bumped you. You kneeled down as you picked up her museum map one by one then assiting her to stand up again.
"Miss are you okay?", you checked on her while also returning her the map she was holding earlier.
"Yeah i'm okay it's-", she raised her head after fixing her specs and then you and the woman had an eye contact, staring at each other in disbelief and surprise.
"Y-Y/N?"
"Dahyun?", you muttered too. "U-uhm, hey.", you said, awkwardly greeting her.
"Hey. So you're here too?", she asked you, taking her map back from you.
"Just visiting this event today.", you pointed at the back where the art gallery event just held a while ago. That made her form an "o" shape in her mouth.
"So you're with someone?"
"Yeah, a friend of mine.", you nodded.
"Oh. Great.", then she awkwardly laughed a little, swaying some strand of her hair from behind her ear. You can't help but to just look at Dahyun because after a long time of not seeing this woman, whose heart once became yours, she looked incredibly gorgeous as ever.
" How about you? "
"Well actually none too, just like you.", she said, dropping both her hands that made her upper thighs get smacked. "I was visiting this museum to learn some history. Free time, you know. Wanna try some other places. Now I'm getting lost because I don't understand this map.", she sighed heavily, scratching her temple as she lets out a tired expression on her face.
" You might need some help? ", you offered her.
"But you have someone with you right? I don't want to disturb your time with your friend.", she said.
"Nah it's fine and I'm sure she won't mind it too.", you waved it off at her. Dahyun noticed the word "her", making her forehead crumpled.
"Oh, a girl?"
"I'm back Y/N!", the two of you didn't noticed that Chaeyoung walked towards you again, going back to you after doing the interview. She got surprised and went curious as she saw you talking to Dahyun, which made her can't help but to focusedly look at Dahyun. "Oh... hi. Sorry to inte-",
"It's fine. I just bumped on him that's why we're having a small talk.", Dahyun said, pointing at you you just nodded in agreement to what she said. " Hello too by the way.", she waved her hands at Chaeyoung.
"Uhm Chae meet Dahyun, she's my friend and uhm...
...ex-girlfriend.", you said to Chaeyoung, introducing Dahyun to her while pausing a bit before revealing to your friend that Dahyun once became your girlfriend in the past, the second one next to Nayeon who is your first. Chaeyoung whispered with an "ooh" at how interesting that information you just shared to her.
Dahyun just looked at you after telling that, making her remember your happy memories with her during your relationship that slowly went bland and fade away completely.
"Dahyun meet Chaeyoung, she's one of my best friends."
"Nice to meet you, Dahyun.", Chaeyoung offered her hands at Dahyun which she accepted it using her free hand.
"Nice to meet you Chae."
"Uhm so Chae, you won't mind if we guide Dahyun to her destination for a while. She's kinda lost now here and she needs help.", you said after twirling your finger around your surroundings inside the museum.
" It's a no problem to me. ", Chaeyoung shook her head.
"You heard her. Alright, let's go Dubu.", and the three of you starts to follow the direction where Dahyun is planning to head at.
While walking, Dahyun initiated the side to start talking with you to lessen the awkwardness of the atmosphere between the three of you.
"It's really nice to see you again, Y/N. How are you been doing these days?", she asked you as she gave you a side look.
"Still focused on my business. How's yours?"
"On hiatus so far. That's why I don't have any schedule these days.", Dahyun answered.
"Oh. That's nice.", you simply reacted. Meanwhile, Chaeyoung is just watching the two of you talking to each other, she can't help but to feel jealous at bit, now all of your attention is now at your ex-lover while here she is... stuck in a pure silence waiting for your presence to be felt again.
"Yeah. Gotta spend it all already I'm going back soon and I have a project already to start. I have a new drama to appear in.", she said to you, talking about her current job today which is an actress signed in an agency which is actually where Sana is also working.
And some little fun fact, Nayeon and Jihyo's agency are rivals with Dahyun and Sana's agency when it comes to how successful the two are, clashing with each other when it comes to total sales comimg from their artists and idols.
"Congrats already.", you slowly clapped fo her. "You got my support as always Dub. Fighting!", you mocked Dahyun with her trademark she once always does to you whenever she had an opportunity to say it.
You can still remember that she just loved by how it is being expressed. With that, you made Dahyun laugh which you did the same too, knowing how contagious this girls is when she becomes lively.
Chaeyoung just became even more jealous as she's sulking while looking at you and Dahyun.
"Why aren't you wearing any disguise? Aren't you concerned that maybe a sasaeng would just try to catch you?", you asked her after you just observed that since she's an artist and she's literally in a place with many people, why doesn't she had any security or manager with her?
"I just want to let myself explore around by myself. I don't want to make my managers tired too, so I convinced them to stay at rest.", she said. "Also, don't you know that I'm learning taekwondo these days? I can handle this by my own.", then she did a pose that she learned from it which somewhat amazed you and at the same time it's hilarious because of how Dahyun looked too serious while doing it.
"Woah hey chill! I really thought you're gonna make me as your example for your fighting skills.", you chuckled after you raised your arms as if you're defending yourself.
"You never changed, Y/N. Still a crackhead huh?", she teasingly punched you in your shoulders but not quite enough to leave some sting.
"So are you, Dahyun. You even look great though.", that made Dahyun smile widely but Chaeyoung didn't liked how it meant for her.
Finally had enough of this, she faked a cough to attract your attention again but she failed. Instead, Dahyun was the one who looked at her first.
"Oh, by the way, hey I saw you came back from the spot where many cameras and people are gathered. Are you famous too?", Dahyun asked Chaeyoung.
"No no actually not.", Chaeyoung shook her head, waving her hand off at her." It's just because I won the event Y/N is where at earlier that's why. "
"It's an art gallery contest event actually. She really deserve the win because of her work.", you proudly said for your friend which the latter just blushed. Oh how she's just being quickly soft when it comes to you.
"Oh wow, really? Can I see your painting then?", Dahyun asked Chaeyoung.
"Oh uhm... I don't have my work with me now, but a picture will do.", she reached for her phone on her bag. She opened her gallery. Dahyun noticed that some of her pictures includes you and that made her think that maybe she's not only what you think she is to you, especially when she finally saw what Chaeyoung is about to show her.
"There, I painted him.", she said. Chaeyoung was full on confidence to brag this to Dahyun, she just doesn't know why she's feeling like this when she showed it to her. Meanwhile, Dahyun is also confused too... but in a different reason.
She is puzzled on why it made her felt sad a bit. Her heart is like some bee stinged on it.
"Oh... t-this is impressive, Chaeyoung. Wow. You got the d-details too. If only I have the talent as this.", Dahyun starts to act weird, stuttering at her words. After that she looked to the real art beside her. "You must be so overwhelmed with this, Y/N."
"Indeed. I don't know what to say earlier. I just really didn't expected that.", Chaeyoung smiled, knowing she successfully did it. "But hey, don't be envy if you can't draw or paint? You're still talented anyways. Want me to enumerate it all for you?",
"No need, you got me now Y/N.", Dahyun said, unaware that maybe it has a double meaning. The three of you stopped when somebody asked for her picture and autograph. You and Chaeyoung were impressed at how Dahyun is well-known today because of being an actress. "Aish you know, I really missed having this conversation again between us.", she said to you.
"Same too, Dahyun.", you nidded at her. "Should we treat this as our closure then?", you spreaded both of your arms.
"Sure. Let's start a new beginning again, Y/N. ", Dahyun said, smiling at you.
"Great, so... back to friends?"
"Back to friends.", and then the two of you went for a hug. Dahyun was happy to have this again with you, but it hurt her a little remembering that this is the one she always love doing with you. Being how energetic and lively she is, she's your cuddly girlfriend before and even though the two of you aren't together now, that still didn't changed to her.
The pain that is still stuck, covering her heart till this day from what happened between the two of you felt like it all melted away because of the contact your chest made as she felt your heartbeat, as if it was like it made hers to beat in the same rhythm as yours too.
That made her now ask herself if there's a possibility that...
... she might fell in love with you again.
On the other side, Chaeyoung felt like her heart is slowly tearing apart at the sight of you and Dahyun reconcile with each other by a warm hug.
Few minutes later, the three of you stopped walking when you noticed something.
"So here's your spot.", you said after you saw the place that has a banner that says the exact name Dahyun told you that she's looking at. "I hope you remember the way out too that I told you.",
"I got this now Y/N, don't worry.", she said, caressing the fabric of her dress.
"Thank you for assisting me Y/N! And to you too, Chaeyoung! I hope we can have some time more!"
"Same as I, Dahyun.", Chaeyoung said, showing a flat smile.
"We got to go now, Dub! If you want some time with me, just go to my shop okay? I'll text it to you.", you said.
"I will. Thanks again and bye!", Dahyun starts to take some steps, seperating herself away from you and Chaeyoung.
"Bye Dahyun!" "Take care."
"Finally, we're okay now.", you heaved a relieved sigh.
"May I know what happened between you two in the...p-past?", Chaeyoung asked you after she noticed you reacting like that. She became curious too on what happened between you and Dahyun before.
"Oh uhm... we- we lost sparks at each other. It's like, we got lost in our relationship. We didn't know what to do, what's our next step, where we're heading at, something like that.
Happiness is still there, but we don't feel that love exists between us anymore. Maybe we just don't know how it works. We rushed it, I guess. It's kind of disappointing knowing that Dahyun is a great girl.", you said, finally explaining what led the break up between you and Dahyun's relationship.
"Yeah she is. That's my first impression of hers though.", Chaeyoung didn't lie although she's getting jealous of Dahyun earlier. Aside from that, she really looks at her as a nice person.
"Trust me, she's more than meets the eye so it's great to know more better on her.", Chaeyoung just nods after.
While walking to head out of the museum, the two of you became silent for a second before you had another ew words to tell to your friend.
"I'm sorry if I didn't speak to you that much when Dahyun arrived. Maybe I made you feel that you're being forgotten.", you said to her in an apologizing tone which made her convinced to believe at it. Chaeyoung was happy that atleast you cared for her. She didn't thought you will notice it.
" No it's fine, Y/N.", Chaeyoung shook her head. " Don't apologize, you two needed it."
"Thanks Chae.", you let out a smile at your understanding friend. "Hey, what if we celebrate later? Where do you want to eat? "
"I'll just visit you later at the shop."
"There? You don't want anything more better? The one that serves real food?", you chuckled at her.
" Nothing more. Just at the doughnut shop will be great to me already. In fact it's my favorite place.
"Especially because it's yours." her mind secretly said.
"But uhm... one favor, can I just go later at night? I still have some strawberries to prepare for my other customers.", she scratched her nape.
"Don't mind, I'll be waiting for you later."
"Thanks Y/N.", she smiled at how considerate you are. You two finally went out of the museum, about to walk towwards on your car to drive away.
"Then tonight it is.", Chaeyoung muttered to herself as she planned to continue unraveling what she meant to do for you earlier at the event.
-----------------------
(HOURS LATER, THURSDAY EVENING AT YOUR DOUGHNUT SHOP)
"Heyyy there, champ!", you greeted Chaeyoung who just entered your shop.
"Y/N, champ really?", Chaeyoung asked you as she finds it hilarious, laughing it off.
"Isn't that what you are today, Chae?", you gave her a questionable look to tease her. " And wow, champs's got a winning look for her celebration.", you traced her from head to toe to have a complete look of her outfit. She was wearing a white long sleeve with red necktie and red checkered vest matched with brown shorts.
"Sit here, what do you want to eat?", you asked after moving the chair for her like a gentleman you are.
"Hmm I'll take the strawberry cake slice and some strawberry milkshake too.", the Strawberry Princess has spoken after she sat on her chair so you took note of it.
"Okay then, uhm Hyunjin!", you called Hyunjin who just finished cleaning a table. " Come! "
"Yes boss?", Hyunjin approached you then you start telling him Chaeyoung's orders and also yours, leaning his ears closer to you.
"Coming right up boss!", Hyunjin did a hats off gesture before leaving you two alone. He went to the counter to prepare each other's orders.
" While we're waiting, what do you want us to talk about?", you said after taking a seat, clasping your hands together as you placed them on the table.
"Uhm... I wanna ask you again my question earlier.", Chaeyoung gulped.
"I didn't got to continue it because it was cutted by the interviewee.", she pouted.
"Oh yeah I remember. Ok sure mind repeating it again.", ofcourse you are. You even asked yourself what was she pointing at earlier about that part on her speech.
"You listened to what I said all in the stage earlier, right?", she asked you again, repeating the same question she asked to you.
"I did."
"Then you know how much you meant to me.", Chaeyoung was bowing her head but she still looking at you shyly.
"Mmmhhhmm and I can feel it Chae.", you said. The most recent one was what she did at the event where she flexed her art that consists of you and how she explained it simply.
"There's more than what you think actually.",
"What do you mean, Chae?", you asked her confusedly.
"Y/N, I did that because I want to show to everyone how much I-", then she got interrupted when a phone rang from the counter. Hyunjin who was preparing the order got alarmed when he heard it too.
You turned your head to look at the telephone ringing. "Be right back for a sec, Chae.", you quickly said to her before leaving your seat. Meanwhile, Chaeyoung just grunted in annoyance aftee she got disturbed again during her confession for the second time.
"OH CMON! Won't this world just let me confess?!", she irritatingly said to herself. She stayed quiet on her seat after while she's waiting for you to come back here.
Behind her, you picked up the phone to answer the call.
"Hello? Y/N's Doughnut Shop at your service. How can I help you?", you said to the phone, giving a message to the caller behind it.
On the other side, a woman is seen standing inside a red payphone booth just beside the street. She was holding the phone with both of her hands as she leaned it very close to her ear, waiting eagerly for your response and now after she heard the voice she was waiting so damn long to hear again, she didn't hesistate to speak already.
"Y/N is that you?"
You heard from the caller. As you recognized the voice which is feminine, it made your eyes stare deeply at a direction as you stood there frozen while having your expression, emotion and mood all at once dropped.
Your head starts to lower down too along with your hand that is holding the phone tightly which is slowly going away from your ear.
It's me Tzu-", before she was about to finish her words, you cutted off the call, ending it as you placed the phone back aggresively into its place.
The woman behind the call noticed what you did, and all she can do was to slowly frown.
Until the tears forming around her eyes starts to flow down, leaning her back at the glass wall of the payphone stand while placing her hands at her aching chest as she realized how things turned out for her and how bad the consequences she got after she did something that she didn't even wanted to do in the first place.
Meanwhile, you heaved out a huge sigh as you feel suffocated again due to your heart feeling like its being squeezed so tight. All those worst memories came from your worst relationship out of 4 girlfriends you had are all coming back to you simultaneously.
You then quickly walked outside to breathe some fresh air first. Chaeyoung noticed that you look like you don't feel well based on your face as she watched you walk out so she followed you to the outside to check on you.
As she exits, her thoughts went correct when she saw sitting in front of the plant's barricade, covering your face with your hands. Chaeyoung went closer to you and the sounds of crying are the first ones she noticed that made her worried much about you.
" Hey, Y/N. What happened? Wh- why are you crying?", Chaeyoung asked you, holding your arm and placing her other hand at your back as she kneels beside you.
I'm getting worried about you, what happened? You ain't like this when I entered the shop."
" Why did she come back... just out of nowhere... to the point that I'm already living my life to my happiest level so far.", you started to speak but your pronounciation and voice is messy and rough because of how your crying is affecting you much. Still, Chaeyoung can adjust her to understand you.
"And then here she is who just returned when I don't even need her presence anymore now I know she fucking left because she cheated on me.", at that last words, you even cried more, making the sobs go louder. Chaeyoung can't stand seeing you like this, so she increased her comfort more by placing your head at the crook of her neck yet at the same time she's hugging you.
Chaeyoung finally understands the point you are telling at after she heard the word "cheating" and that made her remind of the only woman she knew that is responsible for causing you to react like this even if it happened a year ago.
"Why does she want to me this time? To fucking break my heart again? Beg for me to forgive her after what she did to me? Why didn't she came back at those times when I was waiting for her.", you said between your sobs. Chaeyoung is just rocking you like a baby by swaying her body very slowly.
"It's okay, Calm down, Y/N. Shhhh.", Chaeyoung said in a very low tone.
"Is it Tzuyu who called?", that name made you completely shut up because not just voice but her name can make your mood destroyed easily.
" It's yes, right?", Chaeyoung confirmed it as she took your silence as your answer to her question. "I just saw you dropped the phone like it's less than 20 seconds."
"I did it because I don't want even to hear her voice!", you started to raise your voice in anger. "THAT'S HOW I HATE HER SO MUCH. AND I CAN'T FORGIVE HER FOR HOW MUCH SHE DAMAGED ME AT THAT NIGHT WHEN I LEARNED HER DARKEST TRUTH.", Chaeyoung is just flinching at her aggressive and furious your tone is.
" Listen, Y/N. I know you hate her so much but think about this, the more you will ignore her the more she will try to get near to you.", Chaeyoung said to you.
"You don't have any more choice but to face her again, not run away with it. End this nightmare that has been roaming in your past for a year now."
"Also, I'm not siding with her but... we don't know if her purpose on trying to connect to you is either good or bad, and that's for you to find out why does she want to talk to you.", at this part you stopped crying but the sniffs can still clearly be heard.
"You haven't heard of her side, aren't you?", Chaeyoung asked you, lowering her head even more to look at your face.
"Why would I need to be? Isn't being a cheater still needs to explain what she did even if its too obvious?"
"No but remember that time when Shuhua told you that she only learned that Tzuyu has a new boyfriend in States, she doesn't know how or why did it happened?",
"The weird part is that she went there with her parents too. Y/N, you still need to let her explain if she meant to do it.", you went speechless as Chaeyoung made you remember that time when you shared to her that story. She has a point, you thought. Unable to speak, you just let Chaeyoung continue instead.
"You want to know what happened right? This is it. Make this as the opportunity to solve the long mystery that has been running in your life till this day, Y/N.", you are just staring on the concrete floor as you're trying to decide now in your head whether you will give Tzuyu a chance to explain her side or you don't need it anymore.
But... due to Chaeyoung's opinion and what she's telling you which actually makes sense, that lured you more to that one option that fits as the solution for this unsolved problem you're having once again.
"Take some time to think about it, Y/N. I'm not for-"
"Fine, I'll do it.", you said your decision to her. It may be hard for you to do but just like what your friend here said, she's right: this is the only way.
You didn't realized that after all, you still cared for this and you're still willing to figure out everything what happened despite having it being hidden by your other memories you had that are much worthy to think and remember of.
"You sure, Y/N?", Chaeyoung asked you. She is actually surprised that she convinced you to do what's need to be done right.
"Yeah I am.", you removed your head on Chae's neck, going back on sitting properly as you took your scarf to wipe the tears that ruined your face.
"You're right. I need an answer to this question that is been stacked away by the better memories I had after that one night.", you said.
"I need to talk to her. It needs to be done. It's time to end this once and for all.", you said as you slowly nod. Chaeyoung was glad that she convinced you to analyze things first before just letting your emotions hit you completely in an instant that will only lead into nothing.
You and Tzuyu became her friends and all she could say to the two of you is that she hopes that this will all end well for you and Tzuyu.
She doesn't care if she failed to do her plan today. Having the pleasure to help you once again through your dark times in enough for her to feel relieved that she made you calm down and be fine again.
----------------------------
(THE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY MORNING AT <company building name in Korea>)
After you removed yourself from the car, you carried the boxes full of doughnuts with you.
As you enter the building, you went to the receptionist to say your concern first before continuing the explore the area.
"I'm here to deliver this to Miss Kang Seulgi. She's my cousin actually.", you said, then you showed to her the boxes you're carrying with.
"Sure sir you may go. She's at the 9th floor.", the receptionist said after looking at the monitor, giving you the fully move around here inside you cousin's workplace.
"Thank you.", after that, you started to take the elevators to get immediately on her location.
The elevator stopped and it opens, presenting to you Floor nunber 9. You started to look everywhere until someone approached you.
"Good morning, Y/N!", your cousin Seulgi who is wearing a nice formal office attire greeted you.
"Morning.", you simply greeted her with a weak smile. Your energy is not that high today because of yesterday evening. You still can't move on from the fact that the woman you hate has now making her return once again and she wants to interact with you.
"Here's your doughnuts.", you gave her the boxes. Suddenly, another one has appeared from your cousin's back.
"Hi Y/N.", Jeongyeon greeted you with her adorable smile, waving her hand at you. You observed that something is different with her today which made your eyes stick at her for more seconds.
"H-hello Jeong. How are you guys so far by the way?"
"Diving to a lots of paperworks.", then she pointed to her desk which yeah, shows how many papers she needs to work at. Jeongyeon nodded in agreement and you just gritted your teeth, feeling bad for your cousin.
"Busy huh? Well I can relate.", you said which is true. Earlier you just opened the shop and you did some general cleaning and worked with some new stocks of ingredients already with Bang Chan, Hyunjin and your other male employees.
"Still, don't forget to rest, okay? We still all need it."
"This is our rest now Y/N. Don't worry.", Jeongyeon assured you with her smile telling you that everything is fine for them.
"Well that's good to hear that I contributed to it howsoever.", you said it a bit proudly that made the edge of your lips curve upwards, crossing both of your arms infront of your chest.
"So how are you too?", Jeongyeon asked you, placing her hands behind her back as she's twisting her body back and forth.
"Fine, I guess.", you let out a forced smile. Seriously, you really wanted it to be real and sincere but you seriously can't just forget and move on immediately on what happened yesterday.
Funny how that's what you experienced too just like when she left you out of nowhere.
"Why aren't you sure?", Jeongyeon frowned, getting curious why is your mood not clear to you today. Fortunately, you avoided her question when you noticed that your cousin just ate her first doughnut in just 3 bites and then she's going already for another.
"Hey, easy couz sheesh.", you wheezed. "I can see you're craving huh.", you said to said while smirking.
"He's avoiding my question.", Jeongyeon mentally said to herself. You thought she won't notice it but you must've forgotten what is one of her important characteristics that is connected on being a caring person like she is.
"You know me when it comes to sweets, always my first pick would be yours", Seulgi said as she took her first bite of the second doughnut she grabbed." And I'm stressed too so I need some sugar."
" I'll just go grab some softdrinks at the vending machine.", Jeongyeon excused herself when her friend spoke about sweets.
"Oh, I'll go with you. Me want some too.", Jeongyeon just nodded and the two of you walked together onto the hallway, leaving Seulgi dominating your baked goods.
"Noticed that you tried some new haircolor huh.", you finally mentioned to her the one thing that catched your eyes when she appeared from your sight. Her short hair is now colored baby blue changed from her previous blonde. "When did you changed it?", you asked then you grabbed some strands of her hair and carefully slid it down on your hands.
"J-just last week.", Jeongyeon embarassingly answered.
"Uh huh really?", you nodded while pouting, it seemed interesting to you. "Wow, it suits you. You're still beautiful in it.", you gave a smile before you returned your vision back to forward. That was a good thing because Jeongyeon is blushing hard and she doesn't want you to see it because she will just get even more shy with you.
"Really? I was planning it change it again next week.", Jeongyeon asked in awe.
"What? No, hey. Don't.", you looked at her in surprise, furrowing your eyebrows while shaking your head. "Believe me, I actually think that this makes you look more adorable and bubbly. I would love for you to keep it, but still it's up to you okay?", you said to her.
"Hehe, well fine, i'll keep this, for you. Thanks Y/N.", Jeongyeon nodded as she gave you with an assuring smile. You two just stopped in front of the vending machine now and before you were about to pull your wallet out from your pocket, Jeongyeon asked you one thing.
"You have a problem, don't you?", you side-eyed her without rotating your head because her question made you halt from your movements.
"Huh me?", you acted dumb instead.
"You seem a bit off today. I know your face that well so I can even tell if you're feeling okay or not.", Jeongyeon said to you. Well that aren't a shocker to her because she can't miss a day without seeing your face, whether it is personally or just through her spcial media where she is actually secretly stalking you, scrolling for your images. She memorized your expression already because of how many times she look at your face.
"Are you sick?"
"No.", you said. "So you've been studying my face huh?", you teased her, still trying to slip out of this situation and try to distract her to focus on another one instead.
"H-huh? Oh y-yeah, but it's not what you think Y/N, okay?", Jeongyeon stuttered, startled at your response. She really thought that she got caught in the act. "I'm just always that observative when it comes to people's expressions.", she said while taking out some coins from her wallet.
"I admit I have a bad night yesterday.", you huffed some air, it was so warm at it just matches how you feel inside. She was about to say something but knowing that she will get concerned after, you stopped her to convince her.
"But don't worry, It'll not last longer. It'll all be gone in a snap.", you said as you literally reenacted what you said by snapping your fingers exactly.
You started to push the coin onto the vending machine. While waiting, you took a bite on your own doughnut, finally making it into a half piece.
"Was that flavor in the box too?", Jeongyeon asked as she watches you eat.
"This? Sorry, but I didn't included it there.", you gave her an apologetic look.
"Want to taste it? Maybe you'll be dying hard to order this to me next time.", you offered her your doughnut as you leaned it closer to her.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Well I won't let you have a bite if I'm not.", you shrugged. Jeongyeon can't reject it because it's your own wills anyways so she accepted it as she pushed her head closer to reach the doughnut with her mouth. She finally took some small chunk of it to eat.
"How is it?", you waited for her reaction. Her jaw is still moving but her eyes can be seen moving upwards to wonder how it tastes like for her.
"It's great! I love the balanced sweetness of the chocolate and coffee.", Jeongyeon nodded as she made a clicking sound from her tongue to taste the last remaining sweetness on her taste buds.
"Told you.", you smiled in appreciation. Your canned softdrink finally dropped but before you grabbed it, you noticed something in her lips.
"Wait, stay still.", you started to take out your scarf and you wiped some chocolate bread crumbs around the edge of her lips. Jeongyeon was just stunned as her senses of feeling your touch on her plump lips is the only thing that is properly working. She just watched you in shock.
"There you go. Oh I got my drink now, see you again Jeong!", you grabbed your Coca-Cola canned softdrink and you waved your hands in farewell to her.
"B-bye.", that's the only thing she said while looking like a statue. She just watched you start to disappear from her sight as you took your turn to the elevator.
You left her slowly raising her hand, touching the spot on her lips where you wiped it. She just blushed after at that action.
After you went out to Jeongyeon and Seulgi's workplace and entered your car, you looked up to your phone to take a look at your news feed of your social media account to receive some updates.
A post from a page belonging to a place you are very familiar with caught your eyes and that made you smirk as you had an idea showed up in your mind.
With that, you start to activate your car's engine to drive at your next destination.
----------------------
(40 MINUTES LATER)
You are standing behind from the crowd as you watch this familiar woman perform to entertain her fans and other people around here today in the campus.
As her show ended, she gave a one last final message to everyone, thanking the personnels of the campus to allowing her here to perform as a part of her promotion for her solo debut mini- album.
The place that helped her get closer on achieving this goal she has on her hands now.
As she walked to the backstage, you pulled out your phone as you went near to the entrance of the backstage. You saw the bodyguards guarding it. Not wanting to break in, you chatted Nayeon to your messaging app to signal your appearance here.
She received it and then she showed up, telling the bodyguards to let you in.
There, she met you and her astounded expression can be seen as she looked at you.
"Y/N? W-what are you doing here?", she asked you curiously.
" Nothing, just wanna surprise you.", you spreaded your arms. You looked around at the surroundings. It really looked like a mini concert was held here today. "Wow, I didn't thought you'll perform here. You really did great on your debut. "
" Hehe thanks, Y/N. ", she shyly shared her remark, her bunny cheeks are growing larger due to her grin.
"This must've really meaningful to you. Knowing that you won't be having this dream job if it wasn't for this place and now you're performing here, showing to everyone that you did it.", Nayeon nodded in agreement to you because what yoy're saying is exactly right, making her feel very touched once again at thie opportunity. "Sometimes we really just can't forget where we all started."
"You're right, and it feels good to see my former teachers and students here acknowledging me as the gem of this school.", she pointed backwards using her thumb, referring to the people outside. "One of the things I remember here I was like... thinking that these will just stay in my mind.",
"And now, with the hardwork you did, you managed to turn it into reality.", you patted her shoulder which made her smile. "Speaking of former teachers, wait, is that Mrs. Song?", you asked when you saw the teacher who is very familiar to you walking outside, about to head somewhere.
"Yeah she is. Cmon let's call her!", she pulled your arm as she made you join her chasing Mrs. Song. " Maam!!! ", she called the tracher, her cute little voice successfully attracted the teacher's attention as she stopped on her steps. She turned her body around, the two of you appeared on her sight.
"Hello maam, remember me?", you waved your hand at her.
"Nayeon? Omg is that you Y/N?", she gasped, slowly walking towards to you as she grabbed both of your wrists, tracing you with her look. "Oh how could I forget my two former smart students.", then the two of you shared a heartwarming hug, expressing how you missed each other. Nayeon joined too, turning it into a group hug. "Long time no see, kids."
" You still haven't changed a day, maam. ", you praised your former adviser, making Nayeon grin, showing her precious bunny teeth as she agrees too.
"Aish well that's why my husband married me again.", she joked, flipping her hair to the side, making the two of you laugh. "Just kidding, it's not the looks that he only loved in me.", she waved it off.
"Anyways how are you doing Y/N? Wow you look really mature now, even became more handsome.", she ruffled your hair, making it messy but you don't mind. "I haven't heard any news from you since you graduated here in the campus until few days ago. Isn't that true that you're the owner of this famous doughnut there in Downtown Seoul who's the talk of the town these days?", she asked you inspectingly.
"Doing fine these days, maam. And yes, you heard it right."
"Daebak! Well then, don't be shocked if you'll see me again next time at your shop. I wanna try it.", she swiped her finger, anticipatingly waiting to see your place today.
" You're welcome to visit, maam."
"And you Nayeon, how's Y/N as your boyfriend?"
The two of you went frozen in your position after both of you heard that unexpected question coming from your beloved former teacher.
You remembered before that Mrs. Song was the first one who learned about you and Nayeon's past relationship before it became a hot topic to your section and to the whole class level, revealing that the president and vice president of the Student Council are now a couple.
Nayeon just noticed too that she's been clinging onto your arms since you two catched Mrs. Song. Feeling embarassed about it, she slowly untangled her arms around you as you noticed it. Both of you felt sad and a bit awkward as Mrs. Song successfully reminded you two's past relationship with each other.
"You must be so supportive for her, aren't you Y/N? Knowing that your girlfriend here is now a-"
"Uhm maam... we... we broke up. It's turning 2 years now actually.", you nervously said it to her. Nayeon just felt her heart cracked after she heard you that harsh fact she still can't move on till this day.
"Awww... why? Did you two however tried to fight for it?", Mrs. Song went frown completely, feeling dismayed at the bad news. "That was sad. Sorry to hear that. I was really rooting on you two on being a couple.", that right there is the words you can't avoid because even you, you are also proud before of having Nayeon as your lover too. It just makes you really sad that even the person who is shipping and supporting you two the most was hurt by this painful information. Nayeon on the other hand, she just wants to cry as all those memories she had with you until that bitter ending starts to flash again in her mind.
"You two just... match together for me, you know? I even wanted to attend your wedding one day, but sadly... it won't happen.", you just closed your eyes in pain and you absorbed all of Mrs. Song's words with all your heart. Nayeon was still trying to control herself.
"Oh, they need me now in the office. I'll leave you two now, okay? It's been a great thing seeing you two again!", Mrs. Song bid her goodbye to the two of you as she heard her co-teacher calling for her.
"Bye maam." " Be safe!"
Mrs. Song finally walked away, leaving you two in silence as the words she said just few minutes ago keeps on repeating again and again in each other's head.
"Nayeon, hey are you okay? You've been staring afar while Mrs. Song was talking.", you asked her when you noticed that Nayeon looks out of herself, deep in her thoughts.
"Hmm yeah yeah. I'm good.", she responded after humming.
"I can't help but to be feel guilty again. Knowing that I caused what happened to us. It makes me feel bad for myself for letting ouselves to broke up.", her lips twitched and then she started to crash on your body, hugging you tightly as wanted your embrace to lean on. You just carefully comforted her by trapping her between your arms, caressing her back. "If I should've just let you talk, Y/N. If I should have..."
"Let's stop it, Nayeon. What's done is done. Even if we wanted to turn back the time and fix it we can't. And you know I feel the same too, right? You're not the only one whose at fault here. So don't take all the blame, in fact I even feel much worse to myself for not being cautious during our time.", you said to her in a low tone, wanting to express her that she shouldn't look low at herself that much for what happened before.
You loved Nayeon, yes and heck you can't help but to feel pity for this woman because still after all these you still care for her. Always will be.
First, it was Tzuyu that made you feel horrible last night, then right now it's Nayeon. You wondered if something worse is about to come next too but ofcourse you don't want it and wished it won't happen. All you want is peace that's why you decided to confront Tzuyu to end this bad blood you have for her.
"If only we could begin again?", Nayeon just said right out of the bubble.
"What do you mean?", you looked at her, but not directly to her face because she laid it at the top of your shoulder so only you can see is nothing but her long straight brown hair. Her eyes went bigger when she just realized what she said.
"N-never mind. Forget that... sorry I just got pushed away by the moment.", she released herself from your arms, wiping her tears of her face. You helped her to clean it off faster. She really looks beaitiful still even if she cries.
"It's understandable.", you assured her. "Wow, it brings back so many good memories being in here.", you looked around to your surroundings, having a glimpse around the towering structures of the campus along with it's eco-friendly environment thanks to many trees and plants located around here.
"Yeah. Good thing all we have here is just nothing but happiness.", she exhaled deeply." From the first time we met until... the first time we both... f-fell in love.", she looked at you with those longing eyes. Oh if she could just make you do it all again to start a new beginning, she would do it in no time. Sadly, you're already taken so she is unable to have that opportunity.
"Yet I ruined the vibe when I couldn't control my emotions anymore with what Mrs. Song said."
"Don't drown yourself thinking about that, okay? I was hurt too but hey,what matters now is everything is fine between us. Let's focus on the present, hmm.", you patted her shoulder. Nayeon just nodded at you.
After that, both of you heard the voice Nayeon's manager looking for her. Nayeon got alarmed and then she starts to say her excuse to you. "I guess we need to leave now.", she caressed her arm.
"Oh yeah, jeez time's running fast, I gotta go now too, Nay.", you took out the keys of your car from your pocket and spin the keychain around your finger. "Gotta lead the shop before I take Ryujin out for a date tonight. Congrats again to you.", you pulled her into a hug for the second time as she felt how supportive you are for her which warms her heart in an instant but it was mixed too with sadness when she mentioned your sweet time you're gonna have with your current lover.
"Oh... sure. H-have fun on your date. Goodbye Y/N.", before she breaks each other's hug, she leaned closer to your face and did the unthinkable.
She kissed you on the cheeks. It replayed all the times she always does that to you whenever she feels weak and tired. You're her source of energy before, just connected herself to you as her battery... she will once again be full active just because of you.
You just smiled thinking about it. It felt good as she did it for old times sake. But ofcourse, you didn't felt any different for Nayeon because you're completely move on now and still your love is still set on your curreng girlfriend , Ryujin.
She ran away fast back at the backstage, leaving you completely stunned and unmoved in your place.
What did she just do to you?
"I'm so stupid.", Nayeon whispered to herself before she was about to approach her manager. Deep inside, she liked it that she got a slick move to you.
After you closed the door of your car, you heard your phone rang with the notification bell sound. You take a quick look at it, revealing Mina's new message to you that made you excited after you done reading it.
Mina: "Hey, Y/N. About your offer for some baking tutorial, I accept. One favor, please take it easy for me hehe."
Y/N: "You have my word, Mina. Let's start at weekend if it's alright to you."
Mina: "I'm free at Saturday. See you!" Then you turned off your phone as you placed it right next on your seat as you started to turn on the engine of your car.
Meanwhile, Mina is in her house, smiling at your message that she just received. She got confident that she will definitely gonna have fun with you Saturday because she will spend her free time being alone with you.
-----------------
(HOURS LATER, FRIDAY EVENING AT A RESTAURANT>
You just arrived at your friend Momo's fancy restaurant, "Moguri Peach; with the guard opening the door for you. You thanked him, inhaling deeply the air that surrounds the place inaide as you feel a bit tense of the moment you're gonna have today.
You are catching up with your girlfriend by having her on a romantic date.
While carrying the bouquet full of white cosmos flowers and a box of chocolates, you went ahead of the front desk to meet the receptionist and tell her your concern.
"Hello and good evening sir welcome to < name of a fancy restaurant in South Korea you know>, how can I help you?", the receptionist greeted you kindly with a large smile on her face.
"Hello, uhh reservation for L/N Y/N Table for two.", you said to her. She called for a waiter to assist you to your spot.
"This way sir.", the female waiter guided you. You ended up standing in this large circular table with two seats facing at each other. The receptionust removed the "reserved" sign on top of it.
You thanked her and she wished you a nice evening which she actually refers to the date you're gonna have.
You started to wait for Ryujin so all you did was to glance at the other customers who are eating, chat your girlfriend how is she doing and her update so far on the way here, play with some games, tapping your feet below the table and ordering some water to quench your thirst.
You were also looking for your friend Momo since she's the owner of this place and also the head chef but it's a surprise to you that she didn't appeared.
You then asked the receptionists where is she, only to answer you that she left early due to some problems and said that they should just assist you during your date with Ryujin instead as a favor.
Little did you know that the problem she's referring at is you and Ryujin having a date in her place. She was worried that she can't work well if she will saw you and her having your sweetest time together while her heart is crushing slowly and body all filled up with sadness.
She just hoped instead that you will have a great time with your girlfriend, even if it results only to her despair.
Your waiting length turned from 10 minutes, to 30 minutes up to 50 minutes until it reached to almost an hour yet Ryujin is still not coming to the restaurant. You noticed it ofcourse, so you keep flooding her with messages but her only response so far is "I'm otw."
"Here's your water, sir.", the waiter served you a glass of water. "Uhm, sir can I ask? Is that someone you're waiting still coming?", you looked at him, slowly turning and raising your head at your side.
"This is already my 8th time serving you water sir. You still haven't ordered anything else.", the waiter worriedly said to you. He definitely needs to be like that because in fact, you feel like you're full already at drinking too much water and at any time you can head to the restroom to let it all out.
" She's coming. Maybe she got stuck in traffic.", you said, assuring him that you're still fine and coming up an excuse for him to stop.
"Alright sir, just call me if there's anything you need.", the waiter then bowed and noddded before leaving you alone again in your table for the 8th time too.
You just noticed on your phone that the time of your waiting here inside the resturant has just reached 1 hour long.
Right at the exact moment, you saw a new message notification. Too bad it's not from your girlfriend but instead it's from your friend Chaeyoung.
Chaeyoung: "Y/N, you said you have a date right?" ,
Y/N: "Yeah"
Chaeyoung: "So you're alone there today?" . You furrowed your eyebrow as you asked yourself how does she know what is your situation right now. You even looked outside from the windows to see if Chaeyoung is standing from afar watching you but to no avail.
Y/N: "How did you know? Are you here?"
Chaeyoung: "You might need to see this. I'm walking with my friend Somi here when this happened." You got curious what is she talking about but at the same time you didn't know why it made you feel nervous.
She sent a photo after. It was a bit blurry but if you take a closer look by zooming in at it, you can see it's content even better.
And oh you just wished you never saw that photo Chaeyoung sent you.
Chaeyoung: "Y/N, do you know about this? She looks like she's with her workmate."
What you just saw in the photo was Ryujin with someone else in front of the building she works at.
Yes, Chaeyoung's right. She's with her workmate. In fact, you remembered her name when she introduced herself to you.
"I'm Yeji. Hwang Yeji. Ryujin's workmate."
What you don't understand is why did she do this to you that you just want to deny all the negatives you're thinking right now when you saw what they're doing.
But no, you're just gonna fool yourself.
Ryujin and Yeji were kissing.
On the lips.
If they are close friends, they could just hug it out then, you thought.
But their kiss, it's like they're feeling it. They're even cupping each other's side of their head.
Which leaves you to the only one thing this means to you.
The fear you had before which you prayed it'll never happen again to you.
But it looks like God didn't heard your prayer.
Your heart cracked, feeling devastated at what Ryujin just did to you behind your back, out of your sight, away from your side.
She cheated on you.
What's worse is that she lied to you. Her loving and assuring words she gave to you when you visited her in her house.
And the fact that she didn't tell you that she's bisexual. You didn't know about it, so that was a shocker to you. You just can't believe she hid this from you. You could've accepted and respected her by talking this out with each other, but not this way of revealing her secret.
You turned off your phone as you put it back on your pocket. You slowly stood up from your seat, grabbing the bouquet of white cosmos flower and the box of chocolates meant for the love of your life that you didn't know she was just like the one before her.
You left the restaurant, still out of yourself as you were completely lost within your thoughts and revelation you all absorbed. You're numb. That's it. You can't feel anything around you, only the pain, agony and torment that is cursing inside your body and attacking your blood are the only things you can feel right now.
You didn't even realized that the rainfall just crashed on the ground and the raindrops bathing you, making you completely wet from head to toe, including the things you're bringing with and even your outfit.
You didn't care that you'll embarass yourself to anyone, you just continued walking, not knowing that your tears are also syncing from the speed of the rain falling through you.
Meanwhile, a car is seen rolling in the road who just took a turn behind you.
Little did you know that one of the person who is riding in it is someone you're very close with.
"Oppa can you please stop. Stop!", Jihyo shouted in command at her personal driver when she recognized you who is walking in the street in the middle of a bad weather.
"What? Where are you going Jihyo?" , her manager very confusedly asked her artist.
"I know that guy on the road. I'm going out.", then she took out her umbrella from her bag and she starts to raise herslef up from her seat as the driver finally stopped the van.
" But it's raining Jihyo?!"
"That's my friend right there and he needs help!", Jihyo bursted out at her manager who just flinched at how loud Jihyo's mad voice is. She just retreats and felt sorry instead because she understands now why Jihyo is acting like this.
Jihyo just gave an apologetic look for her actions after and the manager jyst telephatically accepted it then. She opened the door, and Jihyo is out of the van as she walked fast to approach you who is now out of yourself.
"Y/N? Y/N hey wh-what happened?", she asked you, cupping your cheeks. "What's with these flowers and choc-", then she noticed when her eyes landed on yours, it looks really terrible and tells exactly the story leading up to you looking like this to her.
Now that she got it, you kneel down in front of her as you started to sob heavily, grasping her dress as you leaned your head in her thigh. Jihyo kneeled down too, not caring if she got wet too. What's important to her right now is that you need help right now.
It's crazy to think that both of you just got a deja vu because she was also the one who helped you when you first experienced being "cheated" by your girlfriend which was Tzuyu at that time. Now you're having the same scenario again that both of you already seen before... with her once again being as your savior.
She then let you hug her, making your wet clothes contact into hers, making herself wet too. She placed your head on her shoulder as she rubbed your back fast and stroked your wet messy hair too.
"Shhh... it's okay. You have me now. I'm here, Y/N. I'm here.", her last words she said to you before both of you went silent, as the sounds of your agony and the rainfall are the only things both of you can hear tonight.
