Chimon's POV
I'm doing the right thing, right? I just wanted everything to be where they were, Nanon with Janhae and me with Pluem. But why do I feel regret? I wasn't able to sleep last night thinking about the words I said to Nanon.
A phone call brought me back to the present.
"What is it, Pluem?" I asked.
"Let's go to the office together." I can't go with Nanon anymore. The thought left a hole in my chest.
"Sure," I replied, trying to add a bit of life to my tone.
"I'll be there in five minutes," he replied, then ended the call. I wonder if I'll see Nanon today. Nah. I shouldn't be thinking about him.
My phone vibrated, I stared at it then looked back at the mirror. I shouldn't be thinking about Nanon. I sighed and grabbed my stuff, then I went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
"I haven't eaten as well. Why don't we grab something to eat first?"
I should've told him what a terrible liar he is. He still had bread crumbs on his left cheek at that time. Which reminded me,
"I almost forgot. I won't be using the car today," I replied, placing the car keys on the table.
"Did you and Nanon fight?" I stared at my sister, then I shook my head slowly. My throat felt constricted and my chest ached for air. I drank some water to relax myself a bit.
"I'll go with Pluem to the office." An awkward silence settled in the room. They know Pluem, but they only know that Pluem and I are friends. I haven't told them that I like him, much less that we're now in a relationship. I wonder if they had any idea.
"I'm full, I'll get going now." I grabbed my stuff and went out. Why do I feel uncomfortable right now? I just want time to stop and let me breathe, then turn it back to the time when instead of telling Nanon that I'm going to date Pluem, I should've...
What would I have done then? Confess? He has a girlfriend! I simply did what I thought was the best course of action. I sighed and grabbed my phone to text Pluem, but instead I saw Nanon's messages.
Should we go to the office together?
Nevermind.
My heart beated erratically. I felt cold sipping through my chest, making it hard to breathe. My eyes stung. Nanon, you're making it difficult for me to keep my decision. I thought I'd put some distance between us until the issues die down, but now I just want to ditch Pluem and see you. sigh. Painfully, I archived my conversation with Nanon and messaged Pluem,
I'm waiting.
A few minutes later, Pluem finally arrived.
"Good morning," I said as I got in his car.
"Good morning." He started driving, and I stared outside. The road to Nanon's house was at the back of my mind, and I almost turned to the corner where his house is located. I turned to the road ahead, Pluem glanced at me but I pretended not to notice it.
"You've been quiet lately." Pluem has just parked his car. I turned towards him and mustered a smile.
"Sorry, I've been having trouble falling asleep." He turned towards me and patted my hair.
"Let's go?" I asked, moving away from his hand on my head to open the door. I got out of the car without waiting for his answer, and only waited until he got out for me to start walking. He jogged to my side and intertwined his hand with mine, and I had to stop on my step.
"You like holding hands, right?" He remembered?
"But you told me that you don't feel comfortable," I whispered. I felt him tighten his grip on my hand as our palms were touching each other.
"I know, but I'm willing to change. This time, I'm really determined to be a good boyfriend to you." I smiled at him, not knowing what to say. If he said this before, I would've hugged him right then and there, but now, I could only wish that I could fall for him again.
"We should get going," I replied and motioned us to walk towards the elevator, our hands intertwined.
"Why are we here again?" Pluem asked. I'm not even surprised. He's always been this way anyway.
"For the movie," I replied. He opened the door towards the office and there we saw other GMMTV artists and staff, but no Nanon. Why did my eyes automatically look for him when I should be looking for chairs to sit on?
"Hey Chimon!" I turned towards the voice and saw Ciize waving, a seat beside her was empty. I turned towards Pluem.
"I'll find myself a chair." I nodded and walked towards Ciize.
"What's that?" I sighed. I haven't told Ciize a word about what happened between me and Pluem.
"We're back together."
"Since when?"
"Yesterday."
"THAT FAST-" I frantically covered Ciize's mouth. Meanwhile, Pluem is already bringing a chair beside me.
"Hi Ciize." I let go of Ciize, and she waved at Pluem. Then she leaned on me and whispered, "You need to tell me what happened." I nodded and gave her an awkward smile. From the opposite corner of the room, the door opened and revealed Nanon. Instinctively, I stood on my seat, but then I sat down again. Still, I have the urge to go to him. He looked terrible, as if he cried for hours. I need to know what happened, what hurt him. I need to know that he'll be alright.
"Chimon." I turned towards Pluem.
"Don't." I stared at him, seeing his desperation in that one word. He really wanted to make our relationship work this time. I sighed and smiled at him, trying to swallow the pain inside.
"I'm not going anywhere," I replied, but I know that if I would follow my heart, I'd have Nanon in my embrace right now.
