Cupid Next Door [ YEONJI ]

Chapter Huit

The first week at his new job was quite alright. Yeonjun did all kinds of hair styles for different events that Soobin was a part of. He even met Ryujin, the girl he saw back at Yeji's apartment. She's Soobin's choreographer. And also Yuna changed her workplace. She's the one who makes sure that the make-up supplies and the clothes for Soobin get to their destination safely.

As Yeji was walking home alongside Yeonjun, she spotted a person she wished she had never seen. Her ex-boyfriend. Once the guy noticed her, he made his way towards the girl. Yeji was basically fuming. "Wah! Yeji-ah, I haven't seen you in a long time." His voice echoed through Yeji's mind like a stone thrown into calm water.

"Yeah... Not long enough, though." She whispered loudly. Yeonjun was confused by what was going on, but he didn't plan on asking either. It didn't seem like a good time for a Q and A, honestly. "Come on! Don't you miss me at least a little?" He had this annoying tone in his voice, which made Yeonjun want to punch him in the face. "Not even the slightest." Yeji responded sincerely. And then he did something that shocked both Yeonjun and Yeji: that annoying guy put his arm around Yeji's shoulders.

Yeji pushed him off with a disgusted expression on her face. "Get away from me, Lee Heeseung!" She shouted angrily. "Alright. Alright. Chill out." Heeseung put in hands up to show that he'll be peaceful. He took out a paper from his jacket and handed it to Yeji. "Take my number, in case you change your mind." He winked like a creep, which made Yeonjun become even more disturbed. And somehow, Yeonjun did the last thing the thought he was capable of doing: he snatched the paper from Heeseung's hand and crumbled it, throwing it in the trashcan by the sidewalk.

"She won't need that." He simply responded and took Yeji's hand into his own, leaving Heeseung behind. His heart was racing like crazy once he took the corner and was able to let go of her hand. He was breathing heavily because he had never done something so cool before. Yeji didn't mutter a word until Yeonjun calmed down. "Thanks! I can't stand that two-faced idiot." Yeji smiled. "And I like holding your hand." She took Yeonjun's hand into her own and started walking, dragging him for the first second.

His face flushed red. His heart was beating like crazy. Her hand felt so soft and delicate, just like a flower. He was staring at her. Such confidence, such fierce, yet so much carefulness and gentleness in one body. She was everything he ever dreamed of. She was Hwang Yeji. He knew then very well that he was in love with her. He was in love with Yeji. And he loved her so much. He wanted to make her happy, to make her feel safe and loved. And that's exactly what he'll do.
