Melting the Ice | Lee Suho - True Beauty

Chapter 43

After Miyoung went to see the Lee boy, they had talked. Suho didn't have many memories with his father as Mr. Lee was often in the US after Suho's mom died. Suho lived alone since middle school. Suho had hated his father for a while but now his anger disappeared. He still felt uneasy though. But he didn't know if it was because he still couldn't forgive his father or if it was because he felt bad for him. Miyoung knew that, with time, Suho will figure out what to do. And she would be by his side to help and support him.

At school, everything went back to normal after both Suho and Seojun were back. It was quite strange to see them talking to each other without glaring at one another. It was new to their classmates. On the other hand, Miyoung was more than happy and cheery to see them getting closer again. It was like everything was in place. It was like everything was normal again. But one person will always be missing.

Miyoung also found out that Jukyung had told Sua and Sujin about her bare face. Actually, Sua found out and Jukyung had to tell her everything. Sua invited Jukyung to her place. As clumsy as Jukyung was, she got food on her face and had to redo her makeup. She had forgotten one of her products in Sua's room so the Choi girl went to gave her. That was when Sua found out. But unlike Jukyung thought, Sua took it really well and was even supportive and gave her many advice to take care of her skin. Sua was just sad Jukyung thought she would stop being her friend because of her bare face. After that, Jukyung told Sujin too and the Kang girl also took it well.

"Miyoung-ah," the Gim girl heard as she was walking in the corridor. She turned as Hyunkyu reached her. "You're not with your lover?" he joked.

Miyoung looked at him and he quickly stopped laughing.

"I didn't tell anyone," he quickly added. "You know it might be time to tell people,"

"Why do you want me to tell people so much?" Miyoung asked, truly curious.

"First, because you would be a hot couple and our class popularity would rise. And second, I really want to tease you and I can't if it's not official," he whined.

Miyoung shook her head in disbelief.

"You just gave me another reason to keep it a secret," Miyoung said.

"But people still think you are dating Seojun," Hyunkyu argued. "I'm not sure Suho is pleased,"

Miyoung stopped walking.

"If you don't stop I'll tell Suho you are bothering me," Miyoung innocently smiled.

It was enough for Hyunkyu to get scared. He swallowed hard, bowed, and quickly took his leave.

"That boy, I swear," Miyoung chuckled.

The Gim girl was about to resume walking when she suddenly felt an arm around her shoulders. She gasped in surprise and looked aside. She smiled when she met Suho's smiling face. Miyoung leaned to kiss his jaw and interlocked her fingers with his as they walked.

"What did Hyunkyu want?" Suho asked, curious.

"Pressuring me to officialize our relationship so he would be free to tease us," Miyoung chuckled.

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Suho offered but Miyoung shook her head left to right.

"No, it's okay. Don't worry," she reassured.

As they walked, Suho started to feint limping. Miyoung frowned at his behavior and noticed that students were coming their way.

"You don't have to do that, you know," Miyoung told him.

Now that Sujin knew Miyoung was dating Suho, the Gim girl didn't care if everyone knew it. Sujin was the main reason why Miyoung was uncomfortable with officializing her relationship with Suho lately. But since Sujin knew now and wasn't against them, Miyoung could be opened about it.
