Love Parade

Lee Heesungs' POV

"Is she gone?" I walked out in changed and comfortable clothes
"Yeah, why you so cranky today?" Jay asked
"Cus of your existence" 
"That's harsh" Sunghoon said
"No I mean it. Look I don't have a say on why you guys are in my apartment but since you are, we'll have to follow my rules okay"
"And if we don't?" Jay asked
"Then prepare to go stay with your mom" I replied " As I was saying. This is a printed copy of the contract I made just 5 minutes ago"
"In your room?" Sunghoon questioned
"Yes, I have a printer. Read through if you want and sign it" I said taking a glass of wine and going to the balcony.

'why is dad still so faithful to my mom even after she helped take away hiss own family business?' 'why do I have to call the Parks my family? we don't even have the same name neither are we alike' 'why do i even have to still keep the backstabbers close?' thoughts like that roamed my head 

I was distracted by the flashing light of Sunghoons Porsche. 'Mr Porsche' the name rang in my head. that darn little weirdo, very random yet intriguing.

"sorry to bother but did my baby flash?" Sunghoon asked
"yeah"
"okay, just making sure it's locked. Can I take a seat?"
"You didn't ask when you came into my apartment, why ask now?"
"relax will you" he said and sat down

"did you meet a girl named-"
then it hit me I don't even know her name
"wow, you don't even know the name of the girl in your mind?"
"whatever. she said she met you and mistook me for you when you came out of your car"
"Oh Sim?"
"I don't know"
"It should be her"
"Wait Sim?"
"Yup. Jakes' sister, I asked her and she said she was his sister"
"Wow. Wait, I should remember her name. J.J..Jeon something right"
"Yeah I think so, it's Jay that remembers"
"She met Jay?"
"Yeah, why"
"Oh nothing. doesn't she seem weird?"
"Weird? how?"
"She's Jake's sister and has already met you, Jay and I"
"What's weird about that?"
"I don't know, she's just really weird"

"I don't know" he shrugged "why did she call you Mr Porsche?"
"That was before, now she calls me 'Hee'"
"Wow, even I don't do that"
"Exactly. I have no idea. she claims to know me but I don't"
"You don't even remember the people you meet, you're growing old"
"I'm not" I rolled my eyes as he chuckled

We both stared into the dark night with the glistening stars and the round moon accompanied by the cold breeze that blew.

"I met Wonyoung today" Sunghoon said
"Ugh, that girl again"
"She's soft on the inside, don't judge her that way"
"We both know she bullied lots of people in your school"
"Whatever, my brother did that too"
"and you're proud of it?"
"Can you not start and argument. I'm trying to make an actual conversation here, stop judging and listen" he said with a stern face
"How did you feel after seeing her" I sighed
"I think I've moved one. It felt nice to see her again"
"Well good for you bro, As for me, love is something I'll deal with in another chapter of my life"
"You really need to get a girlfriend to see how bad you need love"
"no thank you"

"Heesung. What do you mean I can't bring someone over without letting you know?" Jay called out
"You know what I mean!" I yelled back

"sorry about Jay"
"Stop feeling sorry for him, you're always apologizing on his behalf. It's fine"  I said 
"I just can't help but feel guilty for all my familys' mistakes"
"They're not yours so no need to be apologetic. You can't always be the good guy in everything" I replied and stood "now if you would excuse me, I have a lot to do tomorrow. Good night"

Hae-Jeong POV

"I'm stressed" Yuna said locking the door to the salon
"I came late and I'm also stressed. Do you usually do this all by yourself?"
"Nah, there's a guy that helps but he was on vacation but he'll resume tomorrow hopefully"
"Oh, the guy Heesung came to as for?"
"You know Mr Lee?"
"Yeah, just call him by his name. He's probably not even that old"
"He's older than your brother Hae"
"Oh! anyways, he told me him and the Parks are blood, how?"
"Cousins"
"Oh that makes lots of sense"
"so where did you meet him?"
"His dad is my doctor"
"Cool. It's quite sad you know" she said
"What is?"
"Do you know the Park enterprise" I shook my head in response "Girl, you 're kidding me. It's a very big enterprise in Seoul. I honestly don't know what they do but I know it's a big business"
"So how is that sad?"
"The Park enterprise should be the Lee enterprise. It used to be a family business owned to the Lee but some drama happened and the Parks took over"
"Oh, that's sad"
"Yeah, I'm getting off here. Good night Hae-jeong"

I waved her goodbye and went on my journey to my residence. I didn't want to go home just yet so I decided to stop at the convenience store nearby, maybe I'd run into Lee or a Park. Fingers crossed not Jay.

I mostly window shopped in hopes of bumping into one of those guys. I passed by several gentlemen; some eyeing me from a distance, others shoving me cus I was in their way but yet I found no Park or Lee. I decided to just pay for the chocolate bar and head home.

"Hae-jeong" someone tapped my shoulder

I looked back to see who it could be.

"Oh my, you're back in Soeul. Isn't this where all your 'trauma' happened. Why come back darling?"
"Hello to you too, Eunchae" I smiled and decided to walk away
"You can walk now? yay. How about a drink to celebrate?"
"No thank you, I appreciate the offer" I said and attempted to walk away
"Why? is it cause of our high school beef" she said walking closer "girl grow up. it's all in the past and if it makes you feel better" she paused to twirl my hair "Ni-ki and I didn't last more than two months"
"I didn't ask" I said slapping her hand from my hair and walking away. 
"Oh my goodness Hae, don't be such a drama queen" she said coming behind me

"Yah Sunoo, rink this up quickly and try to delay the woman behind me please. She's a stalker" I whispered-yelled 
"Excuse you miss, but I don't think we know each other enough for you to call me by my name"
"Ugh please help" I said passing up an extra change in order to bribe him
"Yes ma'am" he said collecting it and doing as I told.

I should have just walked home, I could have saved myself this useless encounter. I ran as fast as I could away from the grocery store so i don't have to meet up with her.

_ _ _The Next Day_ _ _

"Oh my gosh Jake, you will not believe what happened yesterday" I said as I walked into the kitchen
"What?"
"Yesterday, I found out Heesung, you and I used to play together as kids"
"You know Heesung?"
"Yeah, why? I shouldn't?"
"Just go ahead with the story"
"That's it"

He scoffed at my short conversation and continued working on something on his laptop

"What are you up to?"
"Just business stuff"
"speaking about business"
"Ugh, you really love talking, don't you?"
"Don't get tired of it already. I have no friends yet"
"Okay what?"
"Did you know Park enterprise was meant to be Lee?"
"How did you find out?"
"A friend told me"
"and you claim you have no friends"
"Well, I mean-"
"Just go to work please, oh and if you miraculously meet Heesung, get his number for me, will you?"
"No thank you, he already thinks I'm into him"
"Are you?"
"No"
"So just do it"
"Ugh, if I remember. Bye" I said leaving the house

I got to the store on time to meet it still locked. I decided to rest on the door, go through my phone and wait for Yuna to come by so she could unlock it. 

"You must be the girl Yuna was talking about" a guy walked up to the door lock and tussled with it
"And you are?" he looked at me to introduce himself "Yang Jungwon?!" I screamed with my hand covering my mouth
"The one and only. I figured it was really you when Yuna told me"
"It's been a while" we hugged and exchanged pleasantries.
"Yeah, you just left"
"I'm sorry, a lot happened and I had no choice but to move away"
"I heard, let's talk inside" he suggested opening the door

"So where is Yuna?"
"she can't make it today"
"Oh alright. We'll run it on our own together" 
"Yeah together like it used to be back in the day"
