To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

Tormented Soul

"Hyunjin, why are you crying?" Wooyoung was laughing hysterically at my frantic panicking.

"Because you keep laughing every five seconds and you won't tell me what color my fucking hair is!" I was freaking out at a whole new level.

"Hyunjin, it'll look great, relax." He lowered his hands, trying to calm me down.

"You told me it's a fucking 'confidence booster color', what the hell does that even mean? Because clearly that's not a natural color and I didn't sign up to look like a cartoon character!"

"Will you stop shouting?" He scoffed, wiggling a finger in his ear. "If you hate it, we'll go black." I started laughing, feeling as if I've lost my mind completely. "I'm telling you, Hyunjin, it's fine."

"I don't believe you." I shook my head. "You keep calling me Hyunjin so I definitely know you're lying."

"Or maybe I keep calling you Hyunjin because you're on the verge of having a panic attack."

"I am having a panic attack!" I shouted. Wooyoung rolled his eyes, ripping his gloves off and wiped my tears.

"You are so dramatic, I don't have any sympathy for you whatsoever." He mumbled, focusing on my wet cheeks. He turned me around and rested my head in the sink. "Just try and breathe, okay?" He started to massage my scalp, somehow magically putting me at ease. "I would never do you dirty, you should know that. But if you want to be more confident, you need to be bold."

"I changed my mind."

"Well then that's too bad. You're about to look like a badass and I fully expect you to flaunt it." I sniffled, realizing the tears have come to an end. "Such a cry baby." He mumbled. "Sit up." He grabbed an old towel and wrapped it around my head before using the blow dryer. "Just so you know, Felix is going to be obsessed with this."

Well that changes a thing or two.

"You think so?"

"Trust me, I know." He smiled, drying my hair. "But like I said, if you really don't like it, black is basically the only other option."

"Can't we just bleach it again?"

"That's not one of the options I gave you."

"Oh, but it is an option is what you're saying. You just don't want me to be blonde." I laughed, realizing he's trying to sabotage me.

"I want you to try something different."

"Are you gonna try something different?"

"I'm growing it out, I've never had long hair before." That's true, I've noticed he's been pulling his hair back and it looks really good. He grabbed some hairspray and gel to style my hair which wildly confused me since it was 8pm and there was nowhere I needed to be. "You can look." My immediate reaction was to slap my hand over my mouth. That's when regret struck Wooyoung's face. "Shit, you hate it, don't you." I was too stunned to speak. "Do you wanna go black?"

"Let me call Felix first and see what he says." I was right to be this dramatic, that's for sure. He answered the FaceTime call on the first ring, but we both hid ourselves. "So I need your opinion."

"I need yours too." He said.

"You first."

"Stop it, you're stressing me out." Wooyoung shouted. "Both go on the count of three. One, two three!" Felix and I both revealed our new looks and I thought I was going to faint.

"Oh my god!" Felix screamed and dropped his phone. "You're bright red!"

Red.

Jung Wooyoung dyed my god damn hair red.
