Melting the Ice | Lee Suho - True Beauty

Chapter 50

Miyoung was wearing a beautiful green checked dress wigh a black belt. Music was booming as she sip in her drink as she listen to her fellow co-stars talking. She lightly laughed as she saw Sua and Jukyung eating almost every sweets at the buffet, a few feet away, while Seojun tried to convince them to behave. But how to behave seeing so many delicious cakes. Miyoung herself got carried awqy when she saw so many delicious pastries.

Miyoung slightly waved and shook her head to the beat of the music. Aiden and his group was performing just for the after party. He wanted to show support to his label mate. After all, if it wasn't for him, Miyoung wouldn't be where she was. He was the one who pushed her into acting. It was only natural that Miyoung had him by her side on this big day.

"I quit! I'm done with those two!" She heard Seojun complaining as he walked over to her. "I don't know them for the rest of the night, alright? I came alone to support you. Don't associate me with those two big eaters,"

"Don't you think you're being a little bit dramatic?" Miyoung giggled. "One of them is your future girlfriend, don't forget it,"

"The hell you are talking about?!" Seojun exclaimed, a deep shade of red coloring his face. It only made Miyoung bursted out in laughter.

"Just to be sure, I'm talking about the new top makeup artist," she teased again. Seojun only rolled his eyes.

"Stop messing around, will you?" He crossed his arms. "I don't plan on dating. Not yet, at least,"

"Why that? You are handsome, a pain in a the ass I admit but you can work on that. And Jukyung is a very beautiful girl with an amazing personality! I don't see why you shouldn't go for it,"

"First of all, I am NOT a pain in the ass, okay? I'm an absolutely cinamon roll. And second... you know why I can't date right now," he added, not looking at her. "I should get over the girl that currently has a strong hold on my heart. Of else, it would be disrespectful to Jukyung,"

Miyoung said nothing and just looked down to her drink. She pressed her lips as she fidgeted with the glass, making the liquor swirling against the transparent walls. She quite knew that Seojun did not get over yet. But she hoped when she saw him getting closer to Jukyung.

Miyoung did not move. She was too shocked, to stunned to react. Han Seojun was kissing her. He was liking her. Hell, he loved her. Years ago, she would have been thrilled about the idea. Years ago, she would have probably explode of joy. Years ago, she would have surely kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck and crying of joy. Years ago. Now she was changed. Her feelings changed. She did not love him. Not like that anymore.

So stepping off her stupor, she broke off the kiss, stepping away. Miyoung did not want to give him false hope. She did not want him to wait for something he would never get. And she did not want to use him. She was not over him yet. Far from that. She was still mad in love with him. It would not be right to date Seojun while having feeling for someone else. She was not this type of person.

"I-I'm sorry- I...," she stuttered, face red from embarrassment.

"No... no, I should be the one apologising... I shouldn't have kissed you like that...," he said, not looking at her. "I don't know what got into me. I know you still love him,"

This night, Seojun walked Miyoung home in a very deep and overwhelming awkward silence. But none of them dared to speak or say anything. They were too scared and did not know what to say. What should be said in such a situation? Seojun just got rejected by the girl he loved. And Miyoung rejected her best friend who loved her. Nothing could appease the pain the Han boy must be feeling.
