Over The Seas [Kim Sunwoo The Boyz]

Chapter Sixty-Four

On my way home, I let my mind wander.

That break up was sudden, but it made sense. Sunwoo never seemed too happy with Eunbi out of all the times I've seen them together. It's sucks that work got in the way of his relationship..again.

I felt for Eunbi since I was in her shoes once before. I also felt sorry for Sunwoo.
Then I remembered something that he said in that stairwell.
Why would he ask of her not to see him at work?

I entered the apartment to see Areum in her usual spot on the couch across from the TV. I placed my stuff on the kitchen table and made my way over next to her.
"How was work?" She asked as I sat down.
"A little stressful but okay."
"Are you hungry?"
"I could eat."
Areum turned to me excitedly.
"How about we go to a cafe?"

It's been a while since Areum and I had gone out just the two of us. Ever since I started the internship, we don't see each other as much at the apartment. I took this opportunity to not only spend some time with her, but hopefully talk to her about the occurring problem.
We walk for a few minutes and arrive at a small cafe. After ordering, we found a place to sit near the window. Areum catches me up on how her classes are going and express her impatience with one of her professors. She then asks me about Jonghoon and our relationship. I share some things that happened on our most recent date that I knew Areum would react positively.
"That's so romantic!" she says with glee. I laugh at her reaction.

She did ask me about work but I decided not to talk about what's been going on with Sunwoo or mention anything that happened earlier today. I haven't talked to anyone about it and I think it's better to keep it that way.

I finally mention Sewoon.
"How is Sewoon doing?"
The atmosphere becomes more serious. Areum sighed before responding.
"He's fine for the most part. Sewoon acts normally when we're together but I've noticed it's just when he's around you two."

Just proves my theory.

"Has he talked to you about why?"
I knew she probably wasn't going to tell me but I had hope.
"Yeah, he has but if you want to know, you'd have to ask him."
"I'm thinking about doing that."
Areum slightly raises her eyebrows in surprise.
"Really? I think that's great."
"You think it's a good idea?" I ask.
"I doubt Sewoon will step up and fix it. It's about time someone does something."
"And Jonghoon hasn't planned on doing anything either." I add.
"Why did we have to fall for the brothers?" Areum jokingly said. I chuckled.

Areum and I finished our food as we continued talking about other things. Once we finished and threw our trash away, we made our way back to the apartment. On the way, I got a message from Jihoon.

Jihoon: Hey, little sis!

"Who is it?" Areum asked as she leaned in over my phone.
"It's just my brother."

Me: Hey, what's up?

Jihoon: Do you have any plans this weekend?

Me: I haven't made any yet. Why?

Jihoon: How would you like to go camping?

Jihoon invited me, along with my friends, to a camping trip at the end of the week. He rented out a cabin in they countryside for one night; it's the only weekend where he and everyone else is free. He and Danny had the idea of having a reunion with everyone, including K, Chanseok, and Sunwoo. Of course, I was happy to know that I'd be seeing my brother and some of them again after all this time. I have kept up with the three from time to time but because we don't see each other often, we've been falling apart. I didn't want to think about Sunwoo possibly going; I had enough to worry about if Sewoon was going or not.
