Love Without Love

fifteen →

Jaebum had taken Eunmi into the city, where they would have an opportunity to get away from the crazy scene that happened back at home. These two were the only ones to know how outrageous is had actually been. If Jaebum was able to, he probably would have thrown the girl down the stairs. Only because she was really pushing the limits with her insults, how dare she saw that horrible crap about Yujin. He stopped thinking, and glanced over at Eunmi. Her words replaying in his head.

Do you like her?

He kind of sort of, didn't know? Shaking his head, he made sure to lead Eunmi the right way. The girl had barely looked up, too ashamed to do so. She was horrified by the look on everyone's face after learning she had slapped the other. She couldn't just stand there and let her bad mouth her best friend, that was horrible. Suddenly she felt JB's hand on her shoulder, and she turned to look up at him. They shared a short smile before they found themselves back in deep thought.

On the other hand, Yujin was having a good day.

Yujin P.O.V (regular)

-

I walked alongside Yugyeom for almost the whole afternoon, and we had real conversations. We talked about art, and silly shows and music and it really felt like we were back to normal. Though, minus all the complicated love stuff. Sure I could pretend I didn't want him to kiss me everytime he looked at me, but that didn't mean I wasn't in love with him. It was crazy, because I occasionally thought about us being a couple. Maybe he was possessive? Maybe romantic? I thought far back to when we first met, and hummed in thought. I know he's sweet.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked suddenly, making me slightly jump before turning to look up at him. His hair was tousled, cutely, just how I liked it. He was also smiling at me, which was always welcomed, because he was perfect doing it.

"Just thinking, you said you have a girlfriend... how come I haven't met her? Has anyone?" I tilted my head to the side, blinking my eyes a few times. I honestly was curious at this point. What kind of girl did Yugyeom like? If he was happily dating her, maybe she should just befriend her and she can finally move on.

"Oh, yeah. We broke up." He was relaxed, his shoulders shrugging as he continued to walk. We were going to go to gazebo, since he was insisting on us sitting there and talking. Though I was baffled.

What could have happened to them? I was a little afraid to ask, my lips quivering every time I opened them. This only frustrated me beyond repair and I just blurted out the question.

"What happened?"

He took a hold of my hand, and I didn't have a a chance to be excited over it, and was just staring at the back of his head. His light pretty pink hair was fading, and made me sad. But first, he squeezed my hand and pulled me over by a store.

"She cheated on me, okay?"

"Who could be better than my Yugyeom?"

I also blurted that out, and covered my mouth instantly, looking down as i recovered.

"I mean then it's obvious you two weren't meant to be?" My lips gently formed into a small frown, when I turned to look away from him. Yugyeom looked down at me, a tiny smile grazing his lips as he put a hand to my cheek.

"I guess so. Then your Yugyeom, will tell you whatever you wanna know about this."

Soon we had sat our selves down on the bench inside the structure, I leaned to the side, my shoulder pressing gently against his. Yugyeom let out a loud sigh, his head tilting back as he closed his eyes. I just assumed he was in deep thought because he didn't say anything, so I didn't disturb it.

"You gonna ask somethin?" He opened one eye to glance over at me, and I tensed slightly. Though I nodded quickly and tucked hair behind my ear and thought of the right way to phrase things.

"What was she like?"

He paused, obviously looking for his own words. Parting his lips, he leaned over, his head now against mine.

"She was... Very outgoing, funny, pretty, sweet." He started, his gaze traveling over to me and he stopped and stared. My breath hitched, and I tried to not look at him, though it was challenging not to. "She always knew what to say and what to do, she was brilliant." Yugyeom ran his fingers through his hair, eventually leaning away from me again. Frowning to myself, I rested my chin against my hand.

"She was kinda like you."

Tilting my head, I gave him a look.

"Like me?"

He nodded.

"Maybe that's why I ended up liking her, she was very approachable and kind."

My face flushed. Did Yugyeom really just say that? Is that true?

Third Person P.O.V >

Several hours passed, and Eunmi was still out with JB. She didn't want to go back there, not now. She was an outcast now and no one liked her as far as she knew. Eunmi brought it up, saying something silly like "No one likes me, I should just run away." That only caused the older male to flick her on the forehead.

Though with their time together, she knew everything about Jaebum and everything he had to say about who Yujin was to him.

But of course that was a secret.

Everyone had their secrets, and she was convinced that Jaebum was hiding the biggest one he could.

Just what was this secret?

Eunmi didn't know either. She knows as much as what was told, but what was so secret she couldn't know?

"Everyone has their secrets Eunmi, and I can't afford for mine to be heard."
