You Belong With Me - y.jaesuk

3 - Ice Cream

'cause she doesn't get your humor like i do

after the movie, all of them got outside the theater but with hyori looking irritated.

mika looked at her and noticed that she wasn't holding jae suk's arm.

"should i drive you home, hyori ah?" jae suk asked his girlfriend.

"no, i can call a taxi." hyori said in an angry tone.

"are you sure?"

"do i have to repeat myself?" hyori rolled her eyes before walking away.

jae suk just chuckled and said, "call me when you get home, love you!"

will he ever say that to me one day?

"love you too." hyori coldly said and left the place.

"she's mad, huh?" kwang soo asked jae suk.

"i don't know, i'll talk to her later." just right after jae suk replied, kwang soo's phone started ringing.

he answered the call and talked briefly. "my agency just called, i need to attend an emergency meeting. mika, you can head back home on your own right?" kwang soo asked his sister, like she's a 10 year old.

"i can drive her home." jae suk volunteered.

"no, no, it's okay. i can head home myself." mika tried.

"it'll be better if i drive you home, mika."

"actually, hyung has a point. i think it's safer with him, you might get crazy and go to other places again." kwang soo agreed with jae suk.

"oh, you know your brother." jae suk said referring to kwang soo's overprotective side when it comes to his family.

what could go wrong? you two hang out alone a lot, mika thought to herself and just sighed, "alright."

"that's my sister. okay, i'll be off now, thank you for the treat, jae suk hyung!" kwang soo waved and ran to his car.

as soon as kwang soo drove away, jae suk asked mika, "do you want some ice cream?"

"i thought kwang soo oppa just said not to go to other places?"

"if you tell kwang soo not to go to other places, do you think he will listen too? besides, he's not with us." jae suk said and got mika blush lightly, turning away from him to avoid him from seeing her reaction.

"come on, i know a near convenience store." jae suk said and started walking, making mika automatically follow him.

as they finally had ice cream with them, they both sat on the empty table outside the store. they both heard jae suk's phone buzzed.

i just got home, need some time for myself, my head hurts today. - hyori

"aish, she's mad at me again, what did i even do?" jae suk sighed and continued with his ice cream.

"why?" jae suk then showed mika the message, "maybe her head just really hurts."

"she always say that when she's mad at me. typical lee hyori."

"well, if you think she's really mad, can you recall when did she started being cold to you or something?" mika tried helping while eating her ice cream.

"hmm..." jae suk took a while and thinks, "it started at around when we sat at our seat on the cinema. you know, when i asked you if you're feeling cold and gave you my..." he then paused and realized, face palming afterwards.

"what? when?"

"don't you remember when... when i gave you my hoodie?"

mika was indeed confused, "what? what's with that?"

"she... i guess she got jealous." jae suk said and sighed. mika realized it and just laughed, "was giving your hoodie to me jealous worthy?"

"i know, right! i mean, she knows that you're my best friend, why would she be jealous?"

ouch, b.e.s.t.f.r.i.e.n.d.

"i was just trying to be friendly with you. you know me, right? you were feeling cold, she brought her own hoodie, that's why i gave you mine." jae suk explained, getting a nod from mika.

i guess she doesn't know the most basic personality of the yoo jae suk.

"what will you do now?"

"what do you mean? i have to apologize to her." jae suk said.

"what?" mika was surprised, "you didn't even do anything wrong, and you're still the one who has to apologize? how dare you!"

i can be better than her.

jae suk got quiet, doesn't know what to say. "don't you think it's unfair for you to just apologize to every fight you two have?" mika said with a lot of concern.

"what kind of a boyfriend you are, she's not a mafia or something!" mika couldn't take it anymore and just shouted at him.

"s-sorry, i got carried away." mika said and looked down.

"it's okay..." it got quiet, just the two of them finishing their ice cream.

---

the ride back to mika's place was unexplainable, closest words to describe are quiet and awkward.

when they got to mika's house, she immediately ended the dead air and just said, "thanks for the ride home. a-and the ice cream."

"no problem. i-i better get going now. b-bye."

"bye." mika faked a smile and entered her apartment, finally could sigh of relief.
