CHAPTER 42

Author's Pov:

"Let's go", Seokmim shouted. Yerim closed her ears as Seungkwan and Soonyoung shouted too jumping in the pool.

Haeun sneezed. "Answer honestly how did you get cold?", Yerin asked. Haeun smiled sheepishly, "I just came here yesterday".

"And you played in water?", Yerin sternly asked. Haeun shook her head, "No, I just dipped my -achoo- leg -achoo- in -achoo- water".

Yerin shook her head in disbelief, "Here, take this medicine". Haeun smiled but it faded when Joshua stromed towards her. "Come with me", he said taking her hand.

Haeun glanced at Yerin but followed him. "What's wrong, Joshua?", Haeun asked. Joshua brought her away from other.

"Why did you say no to me?", he asked. "Because I -achoo- panicked that -achoo- day", Haeun answered trying not to sneeze too much.

"Is that only the reason?", Joshua stared at her. Haeun frowned and nodded, "Yes, I said no to you because I panicked".

"Really? Is that only reason?", Joshua asked. Haeun frowned, "Yeah?". Joshua took out his phone showing a message, sent by her mother.

"What did she send you?", Haeun asked taking the phone in his hand.

'Joshua, the reason I'm asking you to stay away from Haeun is because you will be engaged soon. She herself told me that she never liked you'.

"Why is Eomma behaving so weird? To begin with, she can never message you. I don't think she has your number", Haeun frowned.

Joshua sighed, "Really, Haeun. You know there's nothing between me and Jiwoo and you still give it as a reason?".

"I know but whatever said in this message is a lie, Joshua", Haeun said, "I'll call, Eomma. She will not do something like this. I never told her anything about us", Haeun said taking out her phone, "Let me call her".

'The number you have called is currently switched off'.

Harun sighed, "It's nothing like that Joshua. Trust me". Joshua looked down, "But Haeun your mother sent this. How can you say this-".

"Trust me for at least once, Joshua", Haeun shouted. Everyone in the pool heard her voice. "Was that Haeun?", Jihoon asked. "She went with Joshua", Yerin said as they all rushed to the hall.

"Trust me for once, Joshua. I never rejected you thinking about you and Jiwoo. I just panicked that day because I was just over thinking about something. Right after you went to change your clothes. Your father came to me, he thinks that I'm a bad influence on you. That day he gave me two options Joshua. If I choose to be with you then you will lose your guitar my mother will lose her job".

"If I didn't, everything will be same. If I didn't choose eventually, you will lose the guitar so will my mother lose her job. I had a lot of things going on in my mind when you came to me, Joshua. I just panicked that day and blabbered anything that came in mind. I'm sorry for that".

"After realising I tried to tell everything but you went away. During the party when you were in balcony, I came to tell you same thing but your mother called you. Next day during practice, the whole time you ignored me. Yesterday in the car, you ignored me until I bursted out, also sorry for that".

"I've been dying to tell you Joshua that I love you too. I wouldn't have kissed you back if I had no feelings for you. To begin with I wouldn't have pecked you. In that store room or whatever it was, I would have slapped you hard that day if I hadn't felt that connection", Haeun said.
