ep 2 = broken

i was waiting for our drinks and my snack, still thinking of the boys voice, the moment he spoke it kept replaying in my mind. suddenly though, the guilt sunk in.. how was i going to tell this to my boyfriend?! me having feelings for a waiter, he wouldn't be okay with that.. i guess i had some problems to go through so i could reach him. because i knew i wanted him. i was a bit unsure if i still liked byung-chul but i assumed not, if i got feelings for another man i couldn't have feelings for him, right?

suddenly the waiter came back,

"a caramel hot chocolate for you miss! and two iced americanos for you gents," he stated, "let me know if you guys need any other items or anything in general." 

he was about to walk off but i told myself, that this could be the last time i saw him.

"hey, do you, have a, name..?" i asked, but then realized how stupid i sounded. "you stupid idiot why would you ask him if he had a name of course he did, unless his parents didn't name him, which i would feel bad." i thought.

"oh, heh! my fault i should've introduced myself.. i am woonhak! kim woonhak!" he told me, before leaving. ah, i was trying not to squeal his cute little cheer was so so so unexplainable, it made me have butterflies in my stomach and i hadn't felt that since i met byung-chul. but now instead of hearing chattering from the boys i heard whispering and felt stares from them.

"guys why are you two whispering?" i tried to ask, but they ignored. "ahem, i asked something." i asked a bit more stern. 

"nothing.." yongbok looked me up and down.

"yeah, nothing." byung-chul added.

"so annoying" i thought to myself. "i mean i am literally right there, like whispering is no help with their big mouths i can hear their words from across the cafe." 

as i sipped my hot chocolate i saw woonhak taking orders around the cafe, so it got me thinking. what if i quit college and worked here with woonhak?! or maybe i am being crazy, because my parents also told me that college was key, you couldn't get anywhere without a degree. so what should i do... i mean before anything i need to break up with byung-chul..  but he's the one who owns the condo so i won't have a home.. a place to stay warm through the harsh winter. all this thinking was giving me a headache. i just wanted to kiss woonhak in the back, if only i could..

"i'll be right back, i'll be in the bathroom." i walked over to woonhak, and asked him something.

"hey woonhak, where's the girls bathroom?" i pouted.

"here, i'll just walk you." woonhak walked me over the corner of the cafe, "here you- mmh"

i couldn't resist him, i knew how wrong this was.. "you don't even know the boy for crying out loud, yet you kiss him?! and you're not even single! you're a dirty cheater." is all the voice in my head kept repeating, while i kept repeating my kiss with woonhak. till he pushed me off,

"this isn't right.. get off me." woonhak walked away, in clear disgust. I didn't even bother stopping him, because deep down i knew he was right. i shouldn't have kissed a man who wasn't my boyfriend. the voice in my head always overpowered me.. and the first time i didn't listen to it, i should have. of course, just my luck. i am always so unlucky. why me? why didn't i get my happy ending like all the other princesses around me?! i felt so upset, and jealousy then filled me to the top, as i watched woonhak make other girls pleased. i felt that something about me was wrong perhaps.. because woonhak was perfect, so it must have been me. 

i quietly walked back to the table and before i could sit, yongbok pulled me to the side.

"i know and saw.. what you did." he spoke in a deep voice.

"i.." i couldn't breathe and for a second thought i would faint, but i pulled myself together.

"im sorry!!" i cried.

"im telling byung-chul.." yongbok stated.

"please.. i am.. going. to. break up with him!!" i pleaded. yongbok gasped then let go of my wrist roughly. and stormed to byung-chul, dang it. i messed up..

soon enough byung-chul looked over at me, i felt as if i could see steam coming from his ears.

"how could you?!" byung-chul slapped me.

"i-.." i just started crying. "pleasee! i was going to break up with you but," ]

"but, what! what mi-ryung!!" he shouted.

i was going to shout back but someone covered me,

woonhak?

"leave her alone, she knows shes wrong. trust me." woonhak stated.

"uh huh! you're the one who kissed her!" yongbok shouted.

"so it was you, why him mi-ryung!!" byung-chul kept shouting.

"you never have any time for me! it's always me for me! we're done. leave me alone!!" i ran out while having a waterfall coming from my eyes.

i ran to the condo, packing my things, and i just went to my friends apartment. yuna. she would make me feel better. i cried as i called her.

"yuna! im coming over" i said before hanging up. not giving her any time to process, i was running down the street, bumping into everyone.
