Jang Wonyoung Feeling Free

Chapter Twenty Five "Can we talk?I'm outside"

It was two days later and Wonyoung and Gaeul were walking into a beef restaurant for dinner.

After getting so many wishful messages from Gaeul this week because of her new Mc job wonyoung felt extremely guilty for not treating her unnie and decided to meet her older member for dinner to buy her an expensive meal.

"Mmh smells delicious" Gaeul noted as they walked through the doors of the large but crowded restaurant.

They were quickly seated and were now looking at there menu's "order whatever you want Unnie I'm buying" Wonyoung told Gaeul happily "Ok" she smiled at wonyoung skimming the menu
After a few minutes they order a Bowl of Spicy Ramen to share and a two plates of beef and veggies.

There table grew quiet and Wonyoung began to feel awkward. Even though she had know Gaeul for so long there time spent together was usually filled with silence sometimes comfortable and sometimes awkward both girls liked each other but they were introverted and felt more comfortable in silence then trying to make nonsense conversation.

"Actually I want to ask you something" Gaeul confessed to Wonyoung letting out a long sigh as if she had been pondering over her question for a long time. "Sure ask away" Wonyoung told her even though she was nervous.

Gaeul unnie seemed to have a way to see everything and know exactly what she was thinking and that made wonyoung very nervous. Before Gaeul started the meat and veggies arrived, wonyoung instantly began grilling trying to keep her hands busy.

"So what happens between you and Jaehyun?" Wonyoung's head shot up at the question her face becoming flush Gaeul had helped her get the video and knew about the whole relationship but the day wonyoung came home very late from the company after Gaeul had covered for her she hadn't asked any question and never brought up the whole situation since even after the articles revealed he left Starboys and that the video was never released.

Wonyoung thought for a moment wondering how to respond Gaeul did have a right to know especially after all she did for wonyoung and Jaehyun.

"What do you mean?" Wonyoung asked hoping Gaeul would be specific did she want to know about the video and scandal or there relationship she didn't want to dive to deep if she didn't have too.

"Well he left the group, starship and you don't hang out, what happened?" Wonyoung piled some cooked beef onto a plate "we broke up" she told Gaeul who didn't seem fazed then wonyoung began to explain what happened.

"He caught me before I turned in the video and he was disheveled and angry. He said hurtful and unnecessary things I didn't understand why he was so angry and I just kept trying to explain-" Wonyoung voice cracked tears welling in her eyes reliving the situation again and Gaeul handed her a tissue. "I'm sorry" Gaeul patted her hand looking regretful and sad.

"He said he didn't want me or my help and that I was in no position to be talking about someone else's scandals" Wonyoung added. Across from her Gaeul looked pissed a loud gasp escaped her mouth "What the hell is wrong with him" she commented taking an aggressive mouthful of spicy ramen that just arrived.

"So we broke up, I deleted his contact and that's it" Wonyoung finished grabbing some beef munching hungrily. "I'm sorry, I didn't know I should have checked up on you after that day but I didn't" Wonyoung shook her head "no unnie nothing is your fault, I need space and you gave it too me" Wonyoung told her flashing a warm smile at Gaeul.

"Plus it was a full month ago I'm doing so much better now" Wonyoung told her truthfully. She was working hard at work had friends and was actually really enjoying her life she felt free and happy.

Gaeul eyed her munching on beef wonyoung had just handed her "so are you seeing anyone else perhaps Jihoon" Wonyoung choked on her drink and began a coughing fit Gaeul quickly patted her back till she recovered "why would you say that" Wonyoung choked out still trying to gather the air she lost.

Gaeul chuckled "idk you guys hang out a LOT" She said lot in a drawn out way.
Wonyoung just flushed and stuffed some more noodles into her mouth ignoring the spicy burn her mouth was experiencing.

"ok, ok Interrogation over" Gaeul held her hands up in a surrendering motion wonyoung was happy when the conversation changed. She was confused already she could not talk about Jihoon right now.

*Time skip

It was a few hours later and tired wonyoung after a long shower was lying in bed when her phone buzzed. Unlocking it wonyoung read the message "Can we talk, I'm outside" Wonyoung's heart began to race confused she ran to her window and peered outside.

Down in front of the dorm building was Jihoon he was wearing an oversized dark hoodie with a baseball cap that shaded his eyes he seemed nervous because he paced back and fourth. Wonyoung slipped on some shoes and ran outside to meet him.
