Stolen : A Bboing Fanfic

I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That

Inguk struggled to sleep, changing positions repeatedly to feel comfortable. But the reason behind his restlessness was present in his mind. He couldn't forget what he did in the forest. Every time it flashed in front of him, he would shiver.

Why did I do that, what would she think- he kept wondering.

Although he was still sure that he didn't have romantic feelings for her, he had no justification for his actions when she was in danger, hurt or close.

He picked up his phone and thought of apologizing for what happened, but it might have made things more awkward for them.

No. I can't lose her as a friend - he swore that he would try his best to mend things, without straining their relationship as best friends.

Deep inside, only he knew why he was so reluctant to develop feelings for her. But hardly did he know that people fall in love, in mysterious ways!

On the other side, Boyoung kept staring at her cellphone, having the same conflict in her mind.

Why did I do that, what would he think?

She felt it was her mistake somehow and she was already in dilemma about her jealousy towards Min Ji. Unlike Inguk, she was considering a chance for the possibilities of her having developed feelings for him. She turned towards Hayoung who was half-asleep.

"Ya... Hayoung-ah" she whispered. "Are you asleep?" She asked.

"I was," Hayoung said opening her eyes slowly. " What happened? "

"So, there's a friend of mine. She's confused if she has feelings for a guy and -" Boyoung began but Hayoung interrupted.

"Yes, you have feelings for him," Hayoung said bluntly as if she saw it coming and Boyoung's trick to use an imaginary friend was a big flop.

"Ya" Boyoung was taken aback. "I wasn't talking about myself " she lied.

Hayoung opened her eyes wide and took a sigh. She kept her hand on Boyoung's cheek and smiled.

"You're waking me up in the middle of the night to talk about a friend?" She said.

"Umm. I- was, I -" Boyoung struggled to justify herself.

"Eonnie, don't stress so much, I noticed your hair was open when you came back with Inguk-sshi"

"Ya! So what?"

"Look, I don't know what happened in the forest, but if you are confused about your feelings, then I can assure you that you are developing feelings for him"

Boyoung felt as if she heard what she wanted to, but it was too sudden for her to accept.

"Umm, you're still sleepy! Just go back to sleep" she said and turned to the other side, not wanting to face the truth.

It was a bright sunny day when the team was out to plan out their shooting schedule on the beach. Boyoung was actively working with them. Soohyun was giving his inputs while Hayoung was observing how things were carried out.

Inguk walked up to the place where the production team was but didn't notice Boyoung there. He rushed to Soohyun and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good morning," he said flashing a smile at him.

"Very good morning to you too" Soohyun replied.

That's when Inguk's eyes moved in Boyoung's direction. Instinctively he opened his mouth to say something funny but stopped as soon as the events of last night came back to him.
