Beautiful Pain (True Beauty Fanfiction)

Chapter 34

Suho the person who I want to be with. The one who put my emotions up and down. It felt good to slap him. I didn't condemn my action of it. But the moment he was brought to shame with his ignorance bring happiness inside of me. My phone eventually blows up with text and call from him. I want to block Suho contact and put this misery out. But I can't. Because he still mean something to me.

Going to work, I grabbed an apple on the way out. Munching on it, I gather my thought and soul. I thought today would go smoothly until I saw one that one person I know the most.

"This is Lim Joo-Kyung she is a trainee for a make-up artist." The coordinator spoke before Joo-Kyung bowed to us. I tried not to mind it but fate was twisting my life. Joo-Kyung did my make-up, out of every staff.

"Have you seen Suho?" I tried to stay silent, but she was making conversation along the way. The foundation tap lightly on my skin before she contour my face.

"I have. How about you?"

"Yeah, we saw each other. He wanted to apologize for avoiding us all." She explained, as her eyes fixated on the eyeshadow palette.

"I never told you this Chae-Rin. Suho did try to broke up with me in high school, but I stopped him." I stop breathing when I heard this revelation. Baffled of how sudden she mentions this.

"It was after Nara move school. But I told him you were better off with other guy who could treat you better." She explained. It hurts to know that she manipulated him to stay with her. And how easy Suho obeyed her instruction.

"Did you love Suho?" I asked her. I was skeptical with Joo-Kyung. She expressed her feeling freely like an open book and this scare me.

"Of course"

"Then how could you date Seo-Joon so easily? You promise Suho you'll wait for him. Despite the obstacle you guys go through. But now you're in a relationship with another man who's vulnerable when it comes to love." In sudden the volume of my voice increases as I argued. She didn't deserve their love. They were my friend. They fought for her and dated her.

"For heaven sake! Don't try to cry now!" Seeing the corner of her eyes brimming with tears, I harshly told her not to. I was too caught up with my personal affair that I didn't notice my manager prying me out of the room.

"Control yourself. We are at work." He warned as he could hear me shouting from outside the room. Rubbing my forehead, I ignored Joo-Kyung. She was scared to look at me in the eyes and only did at what was told.

My blood was high this whole morning. With Joo-Kyung revealing the information that's four years late. And her dating Seo-Joon as if nothing happens.

With the cherry on top, Suho shows up at my workplace.

"Wow who is that guy? He's pretty tall!"
"He's handsome, is he the new model?"
"I wish I have a boyfriend like him."

Numerous staffs whispered to one another. He was standing there with eyes scanning the place, once it landed on me he smiles brightly. I facepalmed myself of how irritated I was.

"I was waiting for you! Have you eat lunch?"He asked.

"I-I yes!" I spoke lying about lunch. However, my lied didn't go through as my stomach grumble in protest. Suho chuckle as I blushed in shame. I wish my body could communicate with my emotion. I just made a fool out of myself.

Suho dragged me to the nearest restaurant, and we order two spaghetti. Sitting across him, he looks like nothing bothered him.

"Can you please not find me at my workplace? I don't want rumors to starts." I said, trying to create a distance between us.

"That place is the only place you would talk to me." He knew if he went to my apartment he would get kick out. I stay quiet hoping the silence would eat him alive.

"Chae-Rin look I'm sorry, what I did was wrong. I was just hoping you wouldn't wait for me. You deserve love from a guy who isn't a jerk to you." He explained. He knew the possibility of coming back to Korea was slim until his father get better. Therefore, he wanted me to hate on him, so I can realize that he isn't the one for me.

"Love? Your ex-girlfriend dated your friend now. While I'm still here with no one to date." I scoff, he was wrong about his presumptuous. I was still single, and nobody has gotten far with me.

"What about the guy at the Tower?" He questioned about Jung-Hyung character.

"He's not my boyfriend it's complicated." He was somebody to my life, a friend who occasionally hook up with me. Obviously I had to leave that part, Suho doesn't need to know it.

"Then will you give me a chance for us to date?" I snorted on my food when he asked me the most non romantic way. I was speechless, years ago I would have jump and down in excitement. But, remembering how much I chase him throughout high school makes me pissed off.

"I can't Suho. Things have change now. You gave me a scar that is hard to patch." I could see the hurt when I rejected him. As much as I love him, I was in doubt if he will stay by my side and love me each day.

"I won't give up on us." His voice turns stern from my decision.Clenching his fist, he was going to pursue harder.

This terrified me.
