UNEXPECTED // P. JIHOON

fourteen

"see you tomorrow!", i say to teddy as i leave his studio.

i finished work an hour ago and decided to stop by to talk to him because he came back from his trip.

i looked at the time and it was 5pm, so i have half an hour to get to the place where i'm meeting with seolhyun.

even though i don't feel intimidated by her i do feel kind of nervous about this whole thing. i don't know what to expect and i haven't even told jihoon about it.

i think it would be better if i waited after our meeting so i can see what happens without having him tell me that i shouldn't go. which is probably true but my curiosity is killing me.

i made my over to the cafe where we're meeting and i already see her sitting at a table.

"oh hey, kaia! i already ordered, do you want anything?"

her loud voice is giving me a headache.

"yeah, i'll have the same as you."

i sit down and take off my jacket.

"so how have you been doing?", she asks.

"good, you?"

"me too. i hope you don't find this weird... you know because we barely know each other."

"i'm going to be honest with you. i have a weird feeling about all of this and i think there's something going on. can you just tell me why you wanted to meet?"

she seems surprised at my honesty and laughs.

"okay. for your information, me and hyunjin were together for almost three years and he's still in love with me so don't think-"

i cut her off immediately, "why is he flirting with every girl he sees then?"

the look in her eyes shows me she's getting annoyed at the way i talk to her.

"listen, you don't seem to know me yet so i'm going to tell you this now. you don't want to mess with me because i always get what i want."

she's trying hard to intimidate me.

"what is it that you want?", i ask.

"i've seen how close you were with jihoon. maybe i should spice some things up", she smiles.

judging from her face everyone around us would think we were having a normal conversation.

"there's nothing going on between me and him."

"so you say he thinks that way too?"

i tilt my head, "what?"

"well if you're not dating then i could shoot my shot."

"you really think he would get with someone like you?", i laugh at her.

"i get what i want. always."

"good luck", i say and stand up.

"i'd be more careful going around idols apartments, you know just in case someone sees you", she suddenly says.

i put on my jacket and turn around to look her in the eyes.
