Beautiful Pain (True Beauty Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

"How was your date yesterday?" Soo-A rested her face on her hand as she stares at Joo-Kyung. Soo-Jin and I glance at her wanting to know the detail .

"Surprisingly strange, the date was nice but he texted me a few hours later." She showed us the text message, and we gasp at what we read.

'Sorry I actually don't miss you, I have a girlfriend that I want to cheat but I couldn't.'

"What a jerk!" I exclaimed, I can't believe he was fooling around with Joo-Kyung. I was rooting for her to date that guy so that Suho could come back to me.

" Joo-Kyung got dumped!"  Seo-Joon heard our talked and laugh toward her face. While she glare at him due to his rudeness.

"Don't be mean Seo-Joon, is hard to date nowadays." I said, standing up for Joo-Kyung. It was the truth a lot of people are single because they aren't able to find that one person.

Seo-Joon replied with a shrugged and left coolly finding his crew.

After the study sensation finished, I was dragged into the karaoke room with the rest of them. Including Seo-Joo who tagged along as he acts as everyone best friend.

Joo-Kyung and Soo-A were singing together, and Soo-Jin and I dance to it. The boys sat looking at us, I could see Suho and Seo-Joon suppressing theirselves from singing and dancing. After all I know they used to be a trainee that goes here to practice.

"Why don't you sing Chae-Rin!" Soo-Jin suggested, I tried to refuse but everybody was anticipating my voice.

Grabbing the microphone, I whispered to Soo-A to change the song quickly.

Taking a long breath I clenched the mic harder than before as I felt nervous. However with Suho smiling it helps the nerve.

'Feels like my heart has snapped apart
I felt numb for a while and now it hurts so much
Your cold and short words: how are you?

I hesitated and was gonna ask, why? But I didn't
It's not important anymore, the reason for our break up
Because nothing will change anyway

I began to sing the first verse causing everyone to be surprised at my voice. They were all expecting me to sing in a funny manner but when I did the opposite it caused a bewilderment. This was expected as not a lot of people hear me sing. Joo-Kyung and Soo-A had their jaw dropped in amazement.

I'll barely get through this for a while
I'll be a mess without you
Then I'll break down when I hear about you and how you're doing
And miss you till I can't take it anymore

In a corner of my heart, I have such bad thoughts
Wanting you to at least hurt more than me
To get over me later than I do
To not be able to sleep because of me

Gazing at Suho, I wonder why you said those thing easily?

Maybe you feel too bad
Maybe you pity me for loving you so much
I want to be doing well when you ask
But each minute, each second is such a mess

Break ups are all like this
Acting like you're okay
Then breaking down in just one moment

I came across a photo of you, smiling with someone else
It made me miss you and hate you till I can't take it anymore'

Davichi- Days Without You

My eyes never move from his and he clench his fist as he knew. When I turned my eyes to Joo-Kyung, I felt worry and anxious because she is slowly coming into his life.

When the song ended everybody clapped except for Suho and Tae-Hoon. Soo-A nudged her boyfriend as his eyes gaze to the floor with shaking body. We found out he was crying.

"Chae-Rin your voice is so beautiful! Soo-A I will never break up with you!"He hugged Soo-A not wanting to let go. I stared in envy, over how much he loves my friend.

When everybody was done I went to the store above the building, with Suho finding snacks to eat. The banana milk was displayed on the shelve, and I grabbed it shamelessly like a little kid who got her candy. After paying,  Suho walked out without my knowledge and I chase him.

Turned out he was following a few students that look like the bad boy type. Even badder than Seo-Joon. When they glance at our uniform, they asked for Seo-Joon but we stood quiet.

"Aren't you a pretty little thing?" One of the guys touches the strand of my hair causing me to flinched. Suho pulled me behind in case any fight would happen. Thankfully he is able to do martial arts, so we might win.

When they tried to fight Suho, most of them sprawled on the ground at their loss but one of them managed to grab Suho causing the leader to punch his stomach. I shouted when one of the guys held me but eventually let go when one of the police starts to scream at us. Not wasting time, I grab Suho and left the scene as well.

As I hold Suho arm,  he touches his stomach in discomfort. Even though it was one blow, we both knew how fatal it can be.

"Are you alright Suho? Do you need some medicine?" I asked once we reached the comic store. Suho shook his head declining my offered.

"I should be asking you that, are you alright? Did they touch you?" He said gripping both of my shoulder, examine my body. At times like this he should have think about himself.

"I'm fine, thank you for protecting me." He was risking his life for me and without him I wouldn't make it out alive. Beside Sunggyu would kill Suho if things happened.

"Chae-Rin..?" A familiar voice spoke my name, seeing who it was, Joo-Kyung and Seo-Joo stood there.

"Han Seo-Joon! Your thug friends from another school tried to hurt Suho and me. You should be lucky the cop came in the perfect time." I said, pointing my finger angrily to his chest. He shouldn't hang around with bad students if they were able to harm others. Seo-Joon eyes widened and try to speak only to see a staggering person walking right at us.

"Sister!" Joo-Kyung announced when the drunken lady almost fell to the floor however Seo-Joon and Suho supported her.

"Wow, two handsome men. Am I in heaven?" Her eyes rolled back as we took her to Joo-Kyung house. Just as the night ended, we had to help her sister who intoxicated herself. It wasn't far when we arrived at the house.

However, before she went inside she threw up all over Suho jacket causing Joo-Kyung and I to panic. I dragged her sister and help Joo-Kyung about the jacket, suggesting her to burn it as the smelt was viciously bad.

She thanked me several times and once I get out of the house, I saw Suho and Seo-Joon having a conversation. Hiding behind the wall I tried to hear what they were saying.

"Do you like Joo-Kyung?" Seo-Joon asked, that question is also what I want to hear.

"What?" Suho answered in obliviousness.

"You don't like her? Or perhaps you like Chae-Rin?" My name was brought up by Seo-Joon as if it was a two choice that needs to be asked.

"Why are you around Joo-Kyung? And leave Chae-Rin out of this."

"Suho you can only choose one. Don't be greedy now." He was pushing for it, and I was supporting Seo-Joon with this talked. What came out next from Suho mouth makes my heart crushed.

"I like Joo-Kyung." It was a simple sentence that brings a wavelength of heartbreak to my heart. How could he act so sweet but throw me the next as if I am a ragged doll.

"Great, I'll treat Chae-Rin as a woman who deserves love since you can't do that right." Seo-Joon said before gawking his eyes at Suho.

I was surprised at what Seo-Joon said but my heart soon felt numb over the pain that keeps coming into my life.
