Chapter 23

"You guys know each other?" Chanmin questioned, confused as to how we knew each other and to why I reacted like that.

"So here's the thing...you know my ex... that's her." Anton spoke, running a hand through his hair.

Chanmin just stood there, his brain taking a few moments to process it all as a hue of awkwardness started taking over the atmosphere.

"Weren't you here just to take your cello?"

"Yea..and why are you here?"

"I was here to give him back something, it's not necessary for you to know..."

Without answering me, Anton turned to Chanmin. "How do you guys even know each other?"

"Discord."

"Oh." Was the only thing that came out of his mouth at that time.

"Anyways, I.. should get going. Thanks for the invite though Chanmin..." I said, grabbing my purse and getting up to leave, making sure to make a slight moment of eye contact with Anton before I walked out from that room as the two men stood there, both looking completely clueless.

"Oh your back already?"

"No, I'm Choyeon's ghost." I said blandly, feeling burnt out for some reason.

"Well you're an hour or two early from what I expected.." she took a moment to pick up trace of what was going on. "Wait, why are you acting so depressed." I don't answer too soon, both of us heading towards my room.

"You know what Jihye, the world is round after all..." I plopped my full body onto my bed, eyes locked at the ceiling.

"Duh. You just found out?" She said, taking a seat next to me.

I then grabbed a plushie from my bed and sat up, and hugged the plushie tightly, looking at it as if it was looking back at me. "You know that guy you keep saying I went on a blind date with? Like my online friend..." I muttered with my nose scrunched as my lips were positioned in a slight pout.

"Yea, what about him?" She said, fidgeting with her fingers, not paying too much attention to my words.

"He's Anton's older brother." I turn to her.

She then starts coughing, as if she was choking on the air, and after I helped her calm down, she turned to me. "HE'S WHAT? GIRL, I SWEAR, HE'S RELATED TO FVCKING EVERYONE!"

"No but seriously, how does he pop out wherever or whenever I go somewhere? Like does he know magic?"

"Stalking magic." Jihye corrected, to which I honestly a hundred percent agreed to.

"Anyways, let's not talk about that bastard anymore, he makes me sick"

"Sure then, what do you want to talk about?"

I then sit up straighter, and lock my eyes with her, giving her a knowing look. "Soo.... how'd it go."

"I hated him." She stated, turning to the wall in front of her.

"What, why...I thought he was decent..." I pouted.

"Nothing near that. Bitch was a scumbag, talks shit about literally EVERYONE, like who knows when he'll start shitting about me. And not only that, blood won't even pay for his own food! Like I had to pay all by myself-"

"Ok no that's a red flag-"

"Plus I didn't like him. Like at ALL."

"Ok man I'll set you up with someone els-"

"Don't you fvcking dare I've had enough of these blind dates-" she said, her hands dangerously close to neck as she tried to stop herself from strangling me.

"Sheesh ok, ok man I won't.." I said, pushing away her hand with a push of my fingers, a guilty, scared smile on my face. "Happy?"

It was nighttime. Both of them were in his room, yet again, all alone.

"Is it hard?" The girl muttered, stroking the strings of the cello with her hand, admiring it's beauty.

"What?" The boy put down his phone which he was scrolling when he heard his girlfriend, deciding to put more focus on her.

"Is it hard? Playing the cello?" The girl said before turning her eyes to his direction.

He just smiled at her, softly and walked over to where his cello was situated. "Honestly, I never found it hard, I learnt that shit pretty easily. But a lot of people tend to find it like that, I just happened to be off that list I guess..." He said, now looking at the cello. "Do you want to learn it?"

"Nah, I'm good, I'm good enough with my piano. It just looked hard to play, that's why I asked..." She then looked at him puckered her lips and said, "Hey...can you play it for a bit..?"

"Of course I can, you don't need to be so shy ask Yeon." He said, ruffling the girl's hair before picking up the cello and making his way to his bed as the girl followed, both of them sitting down on it.

"Soo.. should I explain how to play it or should I just.. you know, normally keep playing it?"

"Look chan, I'm not here for a lesson so I'd prefer you play it just like you do normally." She said, a pretty expressionless smile on her face.

"Ok princess, I'll do as you say."

"You're bound to."

He chuckled at that. He was about to start playing but then her continued, "Oh and Yeon, another thing, please don't call me chan. Like it gets kinda awkward for me."

"Why?"

"I call my brother chan."
