Chapter 22 | S1: Unwanted Reunion

Niki's POV

I woke up with the alarm clock going off, it's Sunday, so I was hoping for a peaceful day. I got off my bed, beer bottles fell as I accidentally bumped them. I went to the kitchen and looked for something to cook, ah shit, I haven't bought groceries yet. I took the last triangle kimbap and microwaved it.

Just as I was eating, mom called. She wanted to meet urgently at a restaurant, fucking damn it. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't decline, I don't want to cause troubles. Reluctantly, I agreed and got ready to face whatever awaited me.

While driving to the restaurant, Konon, my older sister called me, advising me not to go. She sensed that something was off, but I ignored her concerns. I didn't want to create unnecessary drama by skipping the meeting with my parents.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I found my mom, dad, and sister waiting for me at the table. My dad immediately stated the importance of being professional during the meeting, hinting that it was related to our family's business. I had no idea what was going on, but I tried to compose myself, preparing for whatever was about to unfold.

To my utter shock... Haeun... appeared with her parents and sat at our table. My eyes widened in disbelief, and my heart started pounding in my chest. Why would my parents bring her here? Am I still fucking dreaming?!

I struggled to keep my emotions in check as my mind raced with questions. The memories of our past relationship flooded back, and I felt a mix of anger and embarrassment. I wanted to escape the situation, but I knew I had to stay and face it.

As my parents and Haeun's parents exchanged pleasantries, I felt like I was drowning in discomfort. I couldn't understand why my parents would put me in this awkward and painful situation. All I wanted was to forget about the past and move forward.

"So uhm Niki..." Haeun's mom started talking to me "We were planning to... put you and... Haeun together in a... uhm... modelling agen-"

"Why don't you use her boyfriend?" I asked, genuinely confused at why they wanted to use me instead of her boyfriend. Wouldn't he be jealous?

"Oh uh about that Niki... he's busy as he has a shooting in his upcoming tv show, then they asked me if I knew someone who fits to be a model... I thought of... you..." Haeun said.

I looked at her dead in the eyes, "Can we talk privately?"

"Niki let's just talk here there's no nee-"

"Dad shut up, you brought me into this, I'll do what I want, you need me, I'll do what I want" I interrupted dad before he could finish. I stood up and Haeun followed me to my car.

I didn't drive, we just sat there to talk because I just couldn't fucking bear to see our parents' desperate faces.

Unable to contain my rage any longer, I bashed my hand on wheel, making the car horn, startling everyone around the area. "Why did you come back?" I blurted out, my voice trembling with anger and hurt.

Haeun tried to calm me down, "Niki please calm down, I didn't this either believe me I- I was also dragged into thi-"

But I couldn't hold back my emotions. "I can't believe you would do this to me," I said, my voice cracking with emotion. "I thought you understood how much pain that relationship caused me. You don't know what fucking this I'm doing to just get you out of my mind! I've been such a fucking mess just by trying to forget about you. I've been destroying my fucking liver drinking alcohol just to... forget you!" My breathing started to shake as I was having an emotional breakdown.

"Niki, you don't have to do all that, I undestand you I just ple-"

"I have cirrhosis Haeun!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Last week, I went to a doctor to have a check up because I was constantly having a nose bleef and my weight dropped significantly low. The doctor had informed me that I had cirrhosis, caused by my continuous alcohol drinking.

"Please, Haeun... Stay the fuck away from me starting now... Get out." I said as I broke down, crying and tears flowing on my face. As Haeun got out, she taped the window, still wanting to talk about the fucking modelling shit, I started the car and stormed out of there, needing space to process everything. As I drove away, I couldn't help but feel hurt and let down by the people I thought understood and cared for me.

I didn't know where to go or what to do next, but I remembered Sunoo... Whenever I'm with him, I couldn't think of anything but him. I even forget about the alcohols. Maybe if I got sick like Jake, he'd come ov- No, stop it Niki. I passed by his house but I saw Sunghoon come out the front door, what was he doing there? What was even weirder was him jumping like a fucking child on the street. I really wanted to visit Sunoo but my shyness got the best of me.

When I got back home, I saw the possible reason why Sunghoon was in Sunoo's dorm. A post with a caption "i luv u @sunnysun". Ah shit... I was too late...
