Mr. Bitter's Sweetness | So Junghwan ✓

Chapter three

After we ate, I told Auntie and Cindy that I would be going home.
"Auntie, thank you for this delicious dinner. I really enjoyed the food, Auntie."
"I think I should go, Auntie and Cindy." "Goodbye, Auntie, goodbye, Cindy."
"Goodbye, Jeongwoo, take care," Cindy said with a smile.

I arrived home after a while.
"Jeongwoo-yah."
"Ne, Appa?"
"I don't want you to be with that girl you're always with!"
He scolded me.
"But wh-"
"Will you please have some class in picking girls? There's Sohee, her family is really rich."
Hearing that made me furious.
"Why do you always dictate my life? Why do you care about everything? Why are you interfering with the woman I want? I don't care about Sohee, she's a complete brat. And what would you want me to do again?" I shouted at him.

"I'll be sending you to America after two months. I want you to study there and be away from that girl."

"Here you go again, why won't you just let me be happy? If only you knew how much pain you've caused me." I walked to my room and burst into tears.
Ever since I was a kid, he's always been so selfish with me, and now he's sending me to America? He's always been like this.

JUNGHWAN

"What's your problem? Junghwan-ah, stop drinking."
Jihoon told me.
"Why would I? Jeongwoo and Cindy made me a fool."
"Oh, I get it, you really like Cindy."

"What if I do? But not at all."
"Why? What happened?"
"She said that she's not joining, but I saw her in the studio, they're practicing. Now I would like to make her life a living hell."

My phone rang, and I saw that Jeongwoo was calling.
"What? Why did you call me to say that you got ahead of me?"

"Aniyo, I want to see you tomorrow. I want to say something to you and Doyoung. I've also called him."

"What is it?"
What might it be?

"I'll tell you tomorrow." He said.
Then I put down my phone.

"Who is it?" Jihoon asked.

"It's Jeongwoo." I said and took another shot of tequila.

"Hey, I told you, stop that."

"Fine. I'll go home now, we've got something to talk about with Jeongwoo and Doyoung."

THE NEXT DAY

I arrived at the cafe and sat there. And the three of us were already there.
"So what now? What would you want to say?"
I asked coldly. Jeongwoo looked so down right now.
"Yah, Jeongwoo, why did you call us? What do you wanna say?" Doyoung asked.
"I'm leaving here after three months."
"What do you mean?" I asked nonchalantly.
"Dad doesn't want me to be with Cindy, he said he'll send me to America to finish my studies there."
He couldn't control himself from crying.
"Jeongwoo, don't worry, we'll take care of her. How will you say that to Cindy?" Doyoung said.
"I wouldn't tell her."
"Ok, so are we all done here? I'm leaving." I said coldly.
"Junghwan, don't you really care about Jeongwoo?"
"Well, I don't care, he's a traitor."
Then I left the cafe.

JEONGWOO

"Doyoung, I think I should also go."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Cindy's house, I'm going to pick her up so that she can fit the gown we've chosen."
"Fine, I'll go too, I asked her to go on a date."
"Ok, bye."
I arrived at their house. And knocked on the door.
"Oh, Jeongwoo, come in. Did you eat breakfast already?"
"Yes, Auntie, me and my friends already ate our breakfast"

"Oh ok, can you wait for Cindy for a while because she really moves so slow. And also before I forgot it's Cindy's birthday on Thursday I would also want to see Uhm Doyoung? Oh yeah Doyoung she's always talking about you and Doyoung I hope you'll come I'll cook for you"
"Oh yes auntie we'll go here on Thursday."

"Jeongwoo have you been there for so long I'm so sorry for waiting for me." Cindy showed up.
"No it's fine I've just got here. Shall we go?"
"Cindy, Jeongwoo both of you take care."

We arrived at our house. My dad wasn't there, he always go home late. And miss Geum is already here.
"Good morning mister Park and miss Lee."
"Good morning miss Geum." I greeted her back.
"Me and my assistant brought the gown here. Miss Lee we'll help you to wear it."
While they're helping Cindy I also wear my suit which has the same color of her's.
After a few minutes Cindy showed up.
My jaw dropped as I see her wearing the gown that we've pick. She really is so beautiful.
"Jeongwoo is it ok?"
"Yeah more than ok,you look so gorgeous."
"Gomawo Jeongwoo,you really look so good in your suit." She smiled.
"Can we take a picture?" I asked.
"Oh sure."
"Cindy you're so beautiful."
I caressed her cheeks and looked at her.
