You Belong With Me - y.jaesuk

27 - 5 Months

can't you see that i'm the one who understands you?

days have passed very quick. then those days turned into weeks. just like the days, the weeks turned into months, exactly 3 months later.

jae suk took care of hyori as told. he looked like he moved on but clearly he wasn't. he never wanted this, he wanted to be with mika's side but it all got messed up, even her family got involved.

mika was just the same, sure they only dated for a month but mika felt like a lifetime. clearly because she waited so long for her best friend to like her back, it took her years.

but i guess best friends are just best friends.

mika nearly closed her eyes at work, sleepy because she couldn't get any sleep these days, slightly hungry too and because she couldn't find any time to eat.

i guess this is what they call the breakup effect.

"unnie." her co-worker, min daeun approached her. well, she's not really just a co-worker anymore to mika. daeun was like a friend of hers now, all comfortable with each other and talk random conversations.

"a-ah yeah?" mika stuttered as she fixed her hair since yes, she's sleepy again.

"do you still talk to yoo jae suk?" daeun suddenly asked.

oh that name.

"why?" mika made sure why first.

"well, there's a new article just released this morning and i was wondering if it's true." and just like before, daeun showed her phone to mika and let her read the said article.

breaking: heir of L Company, lee hyori announces 5 months pregnancy with boyfriend, yoo jae suk + explains fake breakup

"fake breakup?" wow.

"is it true? i can't believe their breakup was fake all along." daeun expressed.

"if only you knew." mika whispered.

"what is that, unnie?"

"ah nothing." mika fake laughed, "i don't talk to him a lot these days."

"why? is something wrong?"

"nah, just because of our work. we don't have enough time to see." mika lied when she's literally free every after work.

"oh, understandable... i'll get going now, my shift just ended, unnie. do you wanna have dinner together, unnie? my treat." daeun asked her.

"oh, i still have to finish some files needed tomorrow, daeun." mika lied, she just wants to go home and get some rest.

meanwhile, jae suk enters hyori's place holding plastic bags for the groceries. "i'm home." jae suk coldly said and took his shoes off.

"oh, hey!" hyori excitingly greeted approaching him and hugging him, "i missed you." hyori told him and started kissing his neck.

"i just got out for an hour." jae suk chuckled, acting like he's comfortable with her touch, "how's our junior there?" jae suk referred to their "baby." (a/n: 😏)

"we're both fine, oppa. you worry about us too much." she replied suddenly biting jae suk's neck. he immediately moved away and walked to the kitchen, "i have to go and have a meeting with bopil pd later at around 9 pm."

"a meeting again? you met him yesterday at the same time too. what time will you be home?"

"i don't know, maybe for about an hour or two. he said it's very important." jae suk completely lied.

mika got at the entrance of her workplace to see rain pouring so much from the outside. the weather forecast never said anything about raining today so she didn't bring any umbrella with her.

"ugh, i should've brought an umbrella." mika looked around and placed her backpack on her head before running in the rain.

no, go back, mika. the rain's too strong.

she never followed her thought and just continued to see her shoelace on her right foot is untied. "ugh, why now?!" she exclaimed and squatted down, not caring about the rain anymore to just tie her shoelace.

just then, the rain around her stopped, like a whole circle from her place stopped or like blocked the rain. she looked up after tying the laces to see jae suk holding a black umbrella above her head.

she stood up staring at him confused, "are you alright?" jae suk asked her.

"y-yeah, i'm fine." mika tried looking away from him. "i-i better go and--"

"can you hold this for me?" jae suk handed her the umbrella he was sholding. out of curiosity, mika grabbed it, just to make jae suk suddenly hug her tight.

"i-i... i miss you." he whispered to her ear, tearing up with the rain.

---

the two decided to have a quick talk at some random park near SBS after the rain stopped. even though mika got really drenched by the rain, she still allowed him to talk to her.

"are you alright?" jae suk asked mika who looked pretty quiet because of her shivering.

he immediately took his zip up hoodie and wrapped it around her, "t-thank you."

after a while of silence, "i wanted to tell you something, mika." jae suk started the conversation.

"s-sure, go ahead."

"i..." jae suk hesitated at first and held both of his own hands together, "i-i'm leaving, mika."

"what?" mika got confused, trying to keep her questions as limited as possible, "what do you mean?"

"i... my dad, hyori, and i are gonna stay at new york for three years for dad's company with hyori's dad."

oh great.

"i'll just going to have a short break with my own career too, but... don't worry, i'll be back, we're not temporarily staying there." jae suk explained making mika look down very full with questions.

"w-why are you telling me this?" mika who was already tearing up asked him.

"because i will miss you." jae suk then held her hand and started sobbing, "i-i don't want to lose you, mika."

mika first wanted to tell him that she doesn't want to lose him too. but, her "too strong" love was able to stop her. "ha-have a safe flight there." mika just told him wiping her tear and just walking away, leaving the sobbing jae suk alone in the bench.

---

a few days later, jae suk suddenly noticed something about hyori. like sure, he's been visiting her almost everyday and he noticed that nothing even changed.

when he finally came to the thought, he checked his phone and searched something on the web, completely focused on it and not missing any single detail.

everything about hyori being pregnant is real, just for one thing.

(a/n: looks like #mijae has a possibility again🤭)
