Let Me Love You

[7]

"So, what are we gonna do on tomorrow?

"Huh? What's tomorrow?"

"Duh, Valentine's Day?"

"Oh, shit... my girlfriend's gonna kill me."

As they entered the cafeteria, decorations of pink and red welcomed the students.

"Hey, Channie! We can go to that convention. I bet there's a lot of freebies!"

"Oh, I can't, Hana. I think there's a fan meet with Stray Kids that day..."

"How about we go around the park, Yeji-sunbae?"

"Nah...too crowded... You know how I hate people, Taeju..."

"Seriously, I just want someone to give me chocolates, augh..."

The conversations went on nonstop. All the students were huddled at the cafeteria, planning on what to do tomorrow. Wooyoung could hear all of their conversations, stabbing him for how many times.

"Oppa, where do we go?"

"Well... I reserved a room..."

"Eh..."

Wooyoung look up and he was right.

Yeonjun...

The man who was supposed to pass by, looked at him, yet rolled his eyes. He kept on the conversation with the girl beside him, raising his voice so that Wooyoung could hear. It was expected, as they were sunbae and hoobae, and they will cross paths more than once. However, Yeonjun was a bit petty and kept on saying things for his ex-lover to hear.

He prepared a room... Wooyoung thought. That was our plan months ago...

"Yeonjun-sunbae..."

Wooyoung grabbed him by the shoulder, but the latter pushed him. He lost his balance and the students were beginning to whisper.

"What do you want, freak?"

"What-"

"You already made a commotion weeks ago. Remember this?"

Yeonjun showed his almost bruised black eye to him, "My face hasn't healed properly yet because of that punch!"

"I just...wanted to talk to you privately..."

The girl just looked disgusted. She embraced Yeonjun, and the man was surprised.

"After what you did to my jagiya? Do you think I will permit him to be alone with you?"

Jagiya... Wooyoung held on, trying not to cry.

"No, I just... I just wanted to ask about the money he asked-"

"Oi," Yeonjun lowered his voice. It quivered a bit, as he was startled, "Isn't it obvious? I used that money for V-Day with her. I did tell you that I'm gonna pay it, right?"

He then approached Wooyoung and whispered in his ear.

"Oi, asshole. Make a drama out of it right now, and I will make you miserable. You do know that I want a real hole than the one on your back."

Yeonjun then backed away, but smiled, "Don't worry, I'm gonna pay for it. It slipped my mind."

He then wrapped his arm over the girl's shoulder, "Thank you, Wooyoung. Don't worry, I will pay it back! Come on, jagiya, do you want some takoyaki?"

Wooyoung froze. That money was supposed for the two of them on Valentine's Day. He didn't agree on Yeonjun borrowing it, but he insisted to book a room for the two of them. It was supposed to be Yeonjun and him.
