Never Be The Same - A Mamamoo Moonbyul-Yi Fanfiction (gxg)

Chapter 25

Swithene's POV

   "That kinda stings Swiden." she smirked.

"eVEning." I cleared my throat. My voice seems to not work properly which make it seem like I've been intimidated by her presence. "Evening.." I repeated in a most composed tone as I could muster as of the moment..

 "Enjoying the meal?" she smiled. I looked at my friends who were smiling from ear to ear as they watched us back and forth. DID SHE HEARD WHAT I SAID?!

"I..Y-Yes?" This situation caught me off-guard. "That's great." she nodded her head.

"We just finished our little discussion and we happened to see you from across the room so we came by to say hi." she announced as she fixed her blazer. 

"But we'll be going ahead since there will be a lot of things I have to do in the office. We have to work overtime these days. I hope you enjoy the night. See you later guys." she finished as she looked at her watch and bid us well, never once talking a glance back at me again. I looked behind her and saw Elle waving at me with a bit of.. unusual expression... I'm not a b*tch if I say I don't like those type of expression. Right?

 I could feel Maria and Yong's questionable gaze.

"...Is that it?" Yong asked just after they stepped out of the restaurant. "No 'You're looking beautiful tonight' or whaeva?!" I sighed.

"Well... I guess you'll have to be the one to start intiating on getting a little closer Swithene because it looks like she took your action as a 'stay away from me' signal and she probably heard you say that unpleasant reply. You have atleast few days to prepare what you wanna say before that woman beside her snatch her away from you." Yong warned. I looked down, realizing that what I said wasn't a good thing to say about Byul after what she's done for us and how I silently agree to Yong's remark.

 "Yeah, See her acrylic nails? It's tall enough to snitch someone easily and she could claw you away when she have her hands wrapped around Byul . If you keep moving slower than a slug, you'll be single till you die. I mean it." Maria suddenly hopped into the threat.

Oh what am I gonna do now? I'm starting to hate myself. I hate how I feel.. I hate how I am aware of my own jealousy.

    I'm suddenly breaking cold sweat right now. We're already half way to the heart of the city. Wheein's limousine took us early today. We went to get dressed in a salon halfway and  took the time to get ready with all the hair and make up before we went back to a drive by 5 pm. At about 5:40, a helicopter was already awaiting to get us on one of Byul's building.

  We were already on board towards the said hotel. I'm still bedazzled how Byul went this far to prepare for an event just to compensate a day we aren't even sure what we plan to do.

  I fixed Zico's tie, noticing it start to look a little uneven. I have a gut feeling that there'll be a few other guest to join new year with us. Since were all so dressed up, I bet this is gonna be an exquisite event. In my heart, the overwhelming situation petrified me though Yong and Maria constantly compliment me, the anxiety about the talk I'll be tackling with Byul in private never left.

  I've practiced what to say to Byul and what to ask over and over for days, I was sure I wouldn't forget it due to how much I practiced it amidst all the workload I have to finish before new year comes. But right now I feel like my mind had a major reset last night while I was asleep and forgot everything the next morning.

Heck her potential answers itself make me scared sh*tless. I'M NOT GONNA GET NEGLECTED,  AM I?

  I have readied myself of all the possible conversation we'd make. A big part of me really wanted to have something between us. It took a lot in me to let go of the past and just embrace what's in front of me. I have seen her efforts that convinced me she really changed into the better version of herself and I thought to myself that there's no turning back this time. I want my life to go my way for once. I may be delusional at this point but a part of me think that she might feel the same way as I do.

I feel like my insides are doing backflips, did I mention that already? I think I did.

  My heart pounded so hard when I felt the helicopter make a land on the top of one of the widest and tallest building in the city that I have seen so far based on what I saw from up here. By the time we already arrived on the rooftop, Lisanna was already sleeping in my arms.

  I bet she was tired from the trip all the way here so I was immediately escorted to the vacant room assigned for me incase things like this happen. I think it's better for Lisanna to have a quick nap before waking her up to join the New Year's party later.

 I have already met Genesis who was already looking for her beloved friend and Callisto who was busy fixing his tie. My guess was indeed right. We have few other guests over since Byul has an announcement to make. However I have not seen even a single silhouette of Byul for over 2 hours already.

  The party has already started and more and more people came in the venue. Did she avoid me on purpose? I mean, when I was walking around the building down to the lounge on the ground floor just to find Byul for a private talk, I heard Yong mentioned how Byul made a quick presence in the venue for a split minute and then said she'll be back in an hour.

 I can't even seem to enjoy the party itself with this constant desire to talk to her and just end this anxious feeling inside me. I want to set things right this time. For the past few hours, I've come to a conclusion that being honest for once isn't that bad.

 Even until Lisanna woke up, I see no signs of her. What host leave's their guests unattended? I sighed.

 "Unnie, don't sulk like that. It's not like Byul went to another country and ditched the party. She's most probably in the same building right now keeping everything in check." Maria whispered to me nonchalantly as she eyed the fancy looking people enjoying the night.

   I watched how things played well.  I saw how Lisanna and Genesis made a friend with the little boy who looks about 7 years old. If I remember correctly,  he is the grandson of one of Byul's Hotel Representative.

  For the mean time, I saw Wendy enjoying the company with Yong and Maria.

 However with an uneasy feeling, I can't stay in this venue any longer, I need to keep my mind calm and composed before I go talk to her. I really need to have a quick breathe on the garden to calm down. Not seeing her till now makes me think of different reasons such as her avoiding me on purpose and it attracted a lot of negative feelings I never even have since I got here.

 "I-I need fresh air. If you see Byul, tell her I'm at the garden and that we need to have a talk alone." I said. She nodded and went back to getting herself a glass of champagne. I felt my chest tighten so I didn't waste any time getting out of the room and pressed on the button for the elevator.

  Once it did open, I quickly went inside and pressed the ground floor. The great thing about this building is that you can still see the splendid view outside even when you're on the elevator. The colorful night lights around the city was soothing enough to watch, how much more if I stay in the garden. The place is a real deal.  It's not surprising how Byul made this possible.  She's always consistent and a perfectionist. 

  I unconsciously cracked my knuckles and taking deep breathes once in a while. I couldn't bear any hour not speaking to Byul.

But little did I know....  After when the elevator door dings open,  right came my heart crack at the sight.

To be continued....
