Forgotten Night

Flashback #7

As usual, I had pressed the passcode to Hyun's house and walked into his bedroom straight. But immediately I was shocked and kind of embarrassed. Because upon opening of the door, Hyori shi sat up on the bed, clutching the blanket closer to her apparently naked body. "Oh... YuBin shi," She was more startled than I was. And I was way too startled and embarrassed already. I was not expecting her there. That too naked on Hyun's bed....

"I am really really sorry," I blurted at once and closed my eyes. Hyun stirred from his sleep and sat up. Wearing just his boxer shorts. I am used to seeing him almost naked in his underwear. But I am not used to seeing naked girls. This was the first time.

"I am really sorry," I said to the couple. "Really... I am totally really sorry. I will go out at once."

I walked out of the room. I guess I can't really barge in unannounced like before. Times have changed. I need to keep a distance. This was my first time running to them in this state. But I should take care of the situation more from now on. I was a bit too flustered to have witnessed that situation. So I went to the kitchen and drank a glass of water.

Hyun walked out of the room now dressed in a t-shirt and pants. He yawned, and then saw me and kind of looked embarrassed. I placed the glass back on the counter and leaned to the counter looking at him. He walked to me. "I guess, she stayed over last night," I said. I knew they had a date last night. He nodded, pushing his hands inside his pocket.

It has been four months since Hyun had started dating Hyori. Hyori started hitting on him first and showing interest in him. And actually, Hyun had changed a lot in the past few months. The post SoWon heartbreak Hyun was a bit darker inside. It was as if a childish and innocent part inside him had broken forever. He did not smile that often after that incident. Also did not joke or went goofy like he used to. But then people changes through pain. Hyun grabbed a glass of water and began to drink. I kept looking at him. He had stubbles that had grown overnight, and for some reason, his muscles felt more well-defined. When he saw me looking he looked at me. "What is it?" he asked me.

"You used to feel like a child before," I said. "But...now..." I looked in the direction of his closed bedroom door. "I can't really imagine it in my mind." Him having sex with Hyori.

"What are you saying?" He turned to me with a happy frown. "And I am not a child. I do feel every feeling any adult feels."

"I guess," I said. "You feel like an adult now," I said. And that felt weird. He felt a bit unfamiliar to me. Like suddenly he has grown distant from me. Hyori came out of the room now dressed in a dress she probably wore last night. She came to us. I felt like I should apologize to her again as she looked embarrassed. "I am sorry again, Hyori shi," I said.

"Hm... It was embarrassing, right?" She asked with a grin and pacing her hand around Hyun's waist. "Pretend you did not see it, okay, YuBin shi."

I nodded. "Don't worry." She smiled. She was not a bad girl at all. But I don't know why I did not like her too much. I mean, I was polite with her and all. But somehow I could never see her and me becoming friends. We would not get along. It may have a reason.
