Part Of Him | Park Seonghwa

Chapter 20

THIRD PERSON POV

It's been 2 months, since Seonghwa received the letter. And the first 2 weeks, his parents are both almost blaming themselves for what happened. They thought that maybe, if they didn't ground him, he would have get the chance to asks her out, and things might turn out different. They're on the verge of searching for Morgan, because Seonghwa won't talk to anyone, not even Hongjoong.

He doesn't speak that much, which made them felt terrible. On the first week, after Hongjoong brought the letter, Seonghwa locked himself up on his room. He didn't enter school, and don't want to eat either. If his mother didn't threatened him that they will send him to different country, which will narrow his chance of meeting Morgan, he will never get out.

While the incident on Hannah's house is still unsolved. Some parents filing reports, in hope to quicken the finding of the culprit, but it seems impossible to what they want. According to the school's gathered information, the drug to make the students drunk, is mixed before they even prepare it. And another report from the police, that incident didn't only happened to their party, but also to some other parties that was held that week.

Back to Seonghwa, he would still block everyone from his surrounding but most of the time, will also acknowledge them. Hongjoong's the only person, he's talking to, and his parents they're giving him some time to collect himself. "Seonghwa, would you please help me with these?" Ms. Jooyoun asked him, without any question, Seonghwa stood on his chair and help her carry the papers through her faculty.

The rest of the officers look at him, shaking their heads. "I felt bad for him." Yunho blurt out, his expression is gloomy as the weather outside. He then throw a look at Hannah, and left. The news about Morgan, leaving the university spread out like spilled water, making everyone jump in to conclusion. Even her friend Charlotte, Nara and Dorothy, didn't talk about it. And if they come across Seonghwa, the three would panic thinking a way to avoid him, scared of being asks about Morgan, which Seonghwa's trying to do. It's just that everytime he would prepare himself to ask, they will turn to different direction, making him felt frustrated especially he can't contact her.

He felt helpless, so everytime he misses her, he will read the letter over and over again. Holding on to her promised that she will comeback. He made a promise to himself, that even if he had to wait for her for 10 years, he won't mind, and won't like anybody else, except her.

After his class, Seonghwa went home right away, as his parents told him they will be attending a business dinner party. He don't like it, the event itself is replaying all traumatizing moment he went through. And it's just making him miss her more. "Seonghwa," her mother went to his side, as he was on their large couch. "Please, Morgan promised she will comeback, and for sure she won't like if she know that you're not yourself right now." She put her hand on his shoulder, stroking it in soothing way. "Please, take care of yourself for her. Please?" She give him a pleading look, hoping he will listen.

Seonghwa thought about it, realizing his mother has a point. He knows Morgan won't like to see him in that state. He smiled at her, nodding. "Yes mom, I'm sorry." After they reconcile, Seonghwa is doing his best to show his old happy self, and through out the night, he only felt bored.

But not until someone approach him. "Hi." He looked at her. She's wearing a simple yet elegant dress, that hug her curves very well. She has gorgeous look, it could captivate any guy she would meet. Seonghwa glance at her from head to toe, and smiled greeting her back. "Are you alone?"

"No," He answered shortly. He doesn't feel like talking with anyone right now, as his mind is preoccupied with Morgan. "Why? Do you want a company?" The girl smirk, making her mole near her lips prominent, she walk closer to him. Running her nail to his arm as her hand reach his shoulder. Seonghwa who's holding a drink, observe her movement.

"Wanna come up?" She asked, their face almost touching. Seonghwa back away shaking his head.

"Sorry, but my girlfriend will be here anytime soon." With that, he left the girl, who's now staring at his back in disbelief. She rolled her eyes, but eventually still like him.

"I know we'll meet again."

Seonghwa find his parents, telling them he will go home first and when he got the consent, he didn't waste a time and ran out of the house immediately. He took a taxi, not aware of a pair of eyes following him as his taxi descends. While on the taxi he dialed Hongjoong's number, telling him he's coming to his studio. Few minutes later, he found himself knocking on Hongjoong's door. Without waiting, Seonghwa opened the door welcoming himself, finding Hongjoong focus on his computer.

"Joong come on, your computer won't run away." Hongjoong look at him, giving a look of disbelief. He saved his work, and turn off his computer. He raised an eyebrow, and Seonghwa smiled. "My treat, let's go." The two walk towards their favorite ttokbeokki shop, ordering two serving along with ramen, kimbap and a coca-cola.

"I thought you were in a dinner party? Why so hungry?" Hongjoong throw him a playful look, making him shake his head and laugh lowly.

"I'm not in the mood, and someone approach me. I know what she's up to." This time it's Hongjoong's turn to laugh, opening his coca-cola can. While Seonghwa take a big bit of his ramen.

"Just trust Morgan, I'm sure she have reason why she suddenly left. And for sure, she will never like the idea of another girl, lurking around you."

"Don't you have any idea?" He look at him expectantly, only to be disappointed when Hongjoong shook his head. "But I saw her record, she didn't leave the university." Hongjoong's ears perked up, his gaze fixed on Seonghwa, motioning him to continue as he munch on his ttokbeokki. "Mr. Lee asked me to organize the files on his room, and I saw Morgan's, she's still actively participating on her class."

Hongjoong frown and drank his drink. He let out a small burp, wiping his mouth. "You mean, she's still there?" Seonghwa nodded as approval. "Who spread the news, she left?"

Seonghwa rack his brain, trying to remember how did he heard about it. "It's one of her classmates, because when they look for Morgan, the teacher said she left."

"Try asking Mr. Lee, maybe he knows something, I'm just not close to any of her friends, but Yunho. He seems to have a thing with Dorothy." Seonghwa laugh, making Hongjoong give him a ridiculous look. He's throwing dagger at his direction, while Seonghwa calming down himself. "Seonghwa you better be not messing around with me." He narrowed his eyes.

Seonghwa stretch out his hand, his palm facing Hongjoong. "Sorry, you're funny." He wipe his tears. "I think you didn't know, but Yunho and Dorothy are cousins, please don't make assumptions."

"Ohh.." Hongjoong's mouth form into circle, as he glance at Seonghwa. "So that makes sense." Seonghwa nodded.

"I'll try tomorrow or next day, I hope I'll get something."

"Yeah, and please don't get too emotional, because Morgan won't like it."

"I know, I know, but I can't help it." Hongjoong give him a disgusted look, making Seonghwa's eyes grew bigger. "As if you never dated someone here." Hongjoong's face grimace as he cringe with the thought.

"I regretted that, stop reminding me." Seonghwa shrug, and the two talk for an hour more about  their lives.
