COLD BLOOD - Hera kids

11- Perfectly Fine Heart

PERFECTLY FINE HEART

"So, do you mind telling me what I just witnessed earlier? It's still feels unreal to me." I ask, slowly sitting beside him.

Joowon might have broken a few hearts but never have I ever expected things like this.

After all he does have a pretty face, now that I have thought of it I remember me and my mom talking about the meaning behind the korean names.

Joonwoo is one of them. Close enough to his name, Joonwoo for handsome and divine intervention.

His sillyness that I always find amusing is the thing I can't really detect on his face right now.

Now I'm back on wondering what will Joo Seokhoon think if he'll know. Wait, does he already know?

Joowon moved a bit closer to me as he observe the people around us. He must have been making sure that no one will hear us.

"Listen, I-I don't know what to tell you for now. I guess we could talk about it when the time comes and I know what to say to you. But please, please. Don't tell anyone." He plead as he clenched his jaw.

What? Does he want me to keep this kind of secret to Seokhoon?

"W-What? I can't. You have to tell him this." I tried convincing him but he just kept on telling me he couldn't.

"It's none of his business anyway!" He loudly said as he looked away trying to calm himself.

As for myself? I stared at him in disbelief, mouth gaping open. I didn't think he would be this immature of handeling this, especially Joo Seokhoon? His bestfriend?

Of course it is! It's Joo Seokhoon's business very, very much! If anyone, he's the one who should know about this first!

This is absurb, I can feel my trust towards Joowon fading as he continue on pleading to me to keep it a secret.

How would I do that!? The man did nothing but protected his sister all his life, and doing this-might cause a lot, for hiding such secret to him?

"I know this will feel weird to say but she made my life feel thrilling and, and full of excitement. She's also making me happy, always. And if I decided to tell him this I'll be fucked up." He explained, trying to make me realize how damage it will do to their friendship and towards the girl he likes.

For a moment it made me doubt about my desicions, I admit that.

"Blessings come at you from all directions. You never know who or what will unexpectedly make your life better, and just you admitting your feelings for her to me made me feel glad that you have changed but Joowon you have to take it in the right way." Neither of us Hera Kids never really bothered comforting each other, or having deep talks like this.

If I'm being honest I didn't really expect myself saying this to Joowon out of all people either. It just happened.

"You don't understand." He mumble quietly as he let out a shaky breath, covering his face with his palms.

"Right, I don't." I agreed as he slowly retreated his sweaty palms on his face, looking at me in shock.

"I don't understand out of all ways you have thought of-is that what you chose." I continued as his face dropped.

No more softness in my voice, I'm done convincing him. He's not even listening to me!

"I'm leaving. I'll let you be, fine. Do whatever you want. Hide whatever you are with Seokkyung to him, but I'll forget about this. Don't even tell anyone I know about this. I don't want to get involved on whatever this is." I said as I marched off, not even bothering to look at his sad face.
