Chptr 46: You want what??

[Second update. Please go back if you think you missed the last chapter. BTW I didn't re-read this because I want to post it already so sorry for errors. Thank you. ]

"Jonghyun."

Finally, Jonghyun came out of his trance after a few times that his name was called by Dongwon. He was looking at Dongwon a while ago as he talks but his mind is completely flying. They're in a cafe for a late meeting.

Jonghyun shook his head slightly. "Sorry, I was distracted."

"Yeah obviously.", Dongwon agreed with a nod. "So as I was saying... the joined project was already approved."

"Yeah.", he answered with a nod but doesn't look that interested at all.

Dongwon looked straight at him. "Hey pay attention. We're set to go abroad in a few weeks."

"Oh.", Jonghyun suddenly became attentive, being completely into the topic. "In a few weeks?"

"Yes. We've been working on this since then, haven't we? It's just that it was set a bit earlier because we have to attend some seminars and conventions. We'll be staying there a little longer."

After everything sinked in Jonghyun's mind, he can't help himself from expressing his stress by flicking his tongue while holding onto his forehead.

Dongwon looked at Jonghyun with worry and confusion. "Is there a problem?"

It took a little while before Jonghyun answered, starting with a sigh. "A very bad timing.", he answered shortly."

Dongwon didn't know how to answer so he just stared at Jonghyun, who is looking down, obviously bothered. Earlier he already sensed that there is something wrong with Jonghyun, by his looks. They carried on with their late urgent meeting and he had proven that he really has a problem as he cannot pay full attention and his mind keeps on flying.

"Is there a problem?", he repeated his question earlier, now more worried. Though they have been working with each other for not so long yet, they have been friends and he's bothered when he's not fine.

Jonghyun nodded then sighed, still looking down on his lap. "At home.", he said almost like a murmur.

He didn't know why but Dongwon felt nervous all of a sudden after hearing his answer. He then remembered his sister, and his conversation with her. He's not very sure what really is happening between the, but something tells him that Meeyon has something to do with the problem he is talking about.

He breathed deep first. "Jonghyun.", he called his attention and Jonghyun slowly looked up at him. "You were telling me before that my sister was bothering you. I know my sister. So now tell me, did she do something?"

Jonghyun looked at him helplessly, like a lost kid asking for help. He then started to tell Dongwon what happened, hoping he could feel better and Dongwon can help him.

__________________________

Though Jonghyun's mind was flying the whole day, he tried his best to focus on the road while he's driving, he doesn't want to end up somewhere else. He's been seriously distracted, thinking about his problem with Yerin. He feels uncomfortable and worried knowing that a night and a day past that he haven't resolve that problem with her.
