Unrequited~ Han Jisung

Chapter 19. Thank you

It was sunny but the clouds took over and now the skies were filled with grey. Sooah felt kinda gloomy as she trudged down the street and headed towards a park to have a bit of a walk before she went home but she ended up seeing a familiar face playing the guitar near the park. She knew he did theatre but she didn't know he could sing that well. He also changed his hair colour to a bright pink and sooahs lips curved into a smile as she made her way towards him. He smiled once he caught her figure walking towards him and stopped singing as he laid down his guitar beside him and sat down on the bench.

"I didn't know you were that good of a singer," Sooah huffed out and yeonjun chuckled before motioning for her to sit beside him which she did.

"I am a man of many talents," he smirked as he picked up a bottle of water and handed to her which she accepted. "Whatcha doing out here anyway?" He asked as he leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest.

"It's like you think I have no social life"

"You don't," he smirked and she glared at him.

"Okay buddy," she was about to get up but he grabbed her wrist and she landed back on the bench.

"Stay for a bit. It's quite boring and I was just finishing up anyway so you wanna go for lunch?" He asked as he packed away his quitar into the case and stood up. "Yeah, it's not a question. We're going for lunch," he smiled and she groaned before standing up and running a bit to catch up with his quite long legs. He chuckled before grabbing a hold of her hand to make her move faster.

"I can walk by myself-"

"Your tiny legs wouldn't allow that"

She glared at the boy before finally reaching a little cafe and taking their seats near the window. Sooah grabbed her bag and looked for her wallet but somehow she forgot it. She looked at yeonjun and he chuckled.

"I'll pay but you owe me," he smiled and she gave him a bright smile.

"Thank you," she said before grabbing a menu and scanning through it. There was many things she wanted but pancakes were at the top of the list.

"I'll have pancakes," they both said in unison and just laughed at eachother before setting down their menus.

"I'll go order," Yeonjun said and she nodded as he made his way towards the counter. Sooah admired him as he made his way towards the counter and truthfully she found him drop dead gorgeous. His legs were so long, he was talented, handsome and very muscular at that and Sooah just felt like she was stuck in a daydream when she was with him. Although he'd never compare to the way Jisung made her feel, he still made her feel loved and happy even though he did mock her height and temper. Sooah appreciated him as a person and knew she could count on him when she was having troubles or doubts so that's when she decided she should talk to him about her situation with Jisung.

He came back and took a seat and she smiled at him which made him raise an eyebrow.

"Advice? Please?" Sooah smiled eagerly and he chuckled as he laid back on his chair and crossed his arms over his chest ushering for her to continue to which the girl just started playing with her fingers and staring down at her feet.

"I'm not gonna kill you or anything," he joked and she let out a laugh.

"I know, dummy. It's just a wee bit embarrassing"

"Did you lose your virginity or something?"

"Oh my god," she put a hand over her face. "No!"

He burst out laughing and patted her shoulder before sitting back once again. "Right, come on tell me what's up"

She sighed and looked over at him. "Somebody tried to kiss me but I ran away and now I don't know what to do," sooah could already feel the tears coming on and yeonjuns face practically dropped. He knew her and Jisung were friends but he didn't know them two had a fling going on especially with her relationship with Jihoon and junkyu, he only thought that her and Jisung were like that but now he knew.

"Why would you run away?" Yeonjun knitted his eyebrows together and she shook her head before holding her head in her hands. "Did something happen?"

"I like him okay? I really do but this weird feeling like I don't like it. It makes me feel odd," her words were muffled by her hands but he could hear her just fine.

"Is he really your first crush?" Yeonjun already knew the answer to that question and he already knew it'll more than likely shatter his little cold heart. He was never someone that was around her a lot except for fridays when they cleaned out the storage room. But she was such an open and bubbly person in school, it was kinda difficult to walk the halls without knowing she was there or someone talking about what she did during lunch. She was quite popular to his surprise and it made him quite happy considering how she was treated in her last school.

"I think so," she sighed and he nodded. "He just makes my heart flutter and I like being around him like a whole lot and he's really nice and funny too but when he tried to kiss me today my heart nearly fell out of my chest," she shivered, remembering the feeling she had not too long ago but Yeonjun just smiled at her.

"Let him kiss you next time"

She shot her head up and looked at him and he smiled and shrugged. "Are you insane?" She asked and he chuckled.

"Do you want to date him or not?"

"Well, I do"

"Exactly. So, don't run away next time," he shrugged and their pancakes finally came but it was junkyu who brought them. Sooah raised an eyebrow and junkyu laughed.

"We all have work experience," he said and Sooah laughed and nodded. "You on a date?" He pointed between the two of them as he set down the pancakes on the table and Sooah shook her head vigorously.

"Like id date him," Sooah gave yeonjun a look of disgust to which the boy just stuck out his tongue. Junkyu laughed at them and shook his head before walking back towards the counter. They both dug into their pancakes and they were soon finished as they laid back on the chair and patted their belly's in satisfaction. "Okay I have a question," Sooah spoke up and yeonjun nodded for her to continue. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No"

"You don't?" Sooah was quite shocked and yeonjun laugh.

"Why are you so shocked?"

"I mean, you are handsome and very tall so I'd only assume girls would be all over you," she shrugged as she took a sip of her water and yeonjun scoffed.

"Are you into me, Sooah?" He asked and she stared coughing as she spit out the water on the table and Yeonjun burst out laughing before grabbing tissues and cleaning it up.

"Sorry"

"No worries"

"And no. I'm not into you thank you very much," she said and he smiled.

"Alright. You wanna go?" He asked and she frowned as she looked out the window. "Or we could stay?" He titled his head to the side and she shook her head. "Don't be upset over Jisung alright? Just tell him how you really feel or not, I don't really care"

"How did you know it was Jisung?" She raised an eyebrow and he scoffed as he stood up and grabbed his guitar.

"I can read you like an open book. Now, do you want me to walk you home or?" He asked as they both stood up and made their way out of the cafe. She shook her head at his question and pulled him into a hug which shocked yeonjun and now a shade of pink took over his cheeks.

"Thank you," she whispered before pulling away and walking the opposite direction. She turned around and waved at him to which he waved back and she smiled and continued walking again. He watched her figure disappear down the street and get engulfed in by the crowds. He knew the feelings he had for Sooah would linger on for a long time and he didn't mind really, liking her made him feel good even when she wasn't the one who had fallen for him too. She made him feel healed and that's what he needed before he moved on. He smiled before making his way back home to his friends who were more than likely arguing in the apartment.
