Loving You the Second Time Around

CHAPTER 11

"A fair face may hide a foul heart."

THIRD PERSONS POV

"WHAT is h-he saying Eunji?" Junmyeon asked with disbelief in his voice.

He is just kidding, right? He's just playing around. Junmyeon thought to himself while looking at Eunji, pleading to tell him that it was just a joke.

"What I said was all true, Suho. So please, do not disturb my girlfriend anymore. And don't you dare hurt my bestfriend. Wake up from this stupidity, Suho. This is the reality, and that reality means you are going to get married with Chorong while me and Eunji will have a start together with our child. Come on honey, let's get inside."

Luhan wrapped his left arm protectively around Eunji, who's still dumfounded of the situation.

"Just get on with it Eunji. Trust me." Luhan whispered into her when he noticed Eunji isn't moving a single move.

With mixed emotions, Eunji let her feet to simply move, and made herself tag along with Luhan's care.

Why did he have to said those? And why is he interfering with this one?!

The two went inside, leaving the poor man standing in froze. Still trying to process everything he had just witnessed and heard.

With his tears kept on falling, Junmyeon was bewildered about the facts that was slapped on his face.

The moment they stepped inside, Eunji finally got back to her senses, and removed Luhan's hand harshly.

"Why did you said those? You don't have to that! Luhan!" Eunji cannot keep her cool anymore.

She doesn't know what would she feel towards Luhan. If she'll be thankful because Luhan saved her from that awkward moment, or would she be mad and get frustrated because Luhan just made it worst.

"Luhan, I am glad that you are my friend, but you know nothing about me! Just stay away with this issue!" Eunji yelled at Luhan making him startled.

"Look Eunji- I'm really sorry. I don't know what got into me. But what I know is that I just can't afford to watch you without doing anything. I just wanted to help you-"

"But I didn't need your help! I can take care of myself! You know what?! Just go home! Just please!" Eunji said as she opened the door for Luhan.

But the man didn't made a move.

"Why are you getting angry with me? I just wanted to help you. And besides, if I didn't said those... would you think Suho will stop pestering you? Of course not." Luhan said.

"What's it with you?! What? Are you afraid that if I will accept him back, he'll leave your bestfriend because of me? Is that why you said those because you wanted to save their relationship? Is that the reason why you are befriending me because you are-"

"I like you! Okay?! I really like you, and I don't know why! I felt hurt when I saw how you looked at him earlier. And I wished everything what I said was true! I like you Eunji... and I want to help you in a any way I can." Luhan said while looking at Eunji.

The lady was taken a back from what she heard. She stopped on her tracks and was in a state of shock. Analyzing every word she heard from Luhan's mouth.

He likes me? Ha! Like I would believe that crap!

"Don't joke around Luhan. I have no time for that-" but again, she was shut off by Luhan when the man hugged her tightly making Eunji's eyes widen.

"I am not joking Eunji. I don't know why and when I started feeling like this. All I know is that I like you. I didn't said those just because I am afraid that you two will be back together, and he will eventually leave Chorong, but because I am afraid that I might loose you. I know it's too early for me to say all of these, but I would regret more if I won't do anything."

In every word that Luhan said kept on echoing inside Eunji's head, trying to process everything.

In the end, Eunji made a move and slowly removed Luhan's arms around her petite body.

"I'm sorry Luhan, but I am done with all the shits happened in my life. I'm sorry but I will not accept that feelings of yours. So please, just get out of my house." Eunji said calmly making Luhan looked at her intently.

"But-"

"Please... if you want to save our friendship, you'll leave. I need a time of my own." Eunji went to the other side of the door for Luhan to have access to step out.

"Okay... if that is what you want. But before I go, I wanted to ask you about something." Luhan said, as he made his way to Eunji.

"Is Suho... the father of your child?" Luhan asked seriously.

He was looking into Eunji's eyes while waiting for her reply.

Eunji took all her courage to look back at him. Before answering, she let out a sigh first to release the nervous feeling inside.

"NO, he isn't." Eunji answered, completely lying to Luhan. But what can she do? No one must know about it, except her friend Bomi.

Luhan was still looking straightly into her eyes. Trying to read every move of it's pupil, assuring that Eunji was telling the truth.

It lasted for a minute before Luhan formed a sly smile on his lips, and tapped Eunji's shoulder.

"Okay then, I will be Myeonji's father... for a while. I will be your boyfriend as long as Suho's or my friends are around... you don't want to be pest by Suho, do you? And yeah, even if you busted my feelings, I still got your friendship so... I'll keep it!" He smirked, but slowly stand before Eunji and gave her a peck on her cheeks.

Cheeky Luhan walked away leaving Eunji with her eyes and mouth gap open, but later on stomped her feet because of annoyance. A very late reaction indeed.

"Ugh Luhan! I'm still wondering why I let myself to be friend you! Your such a cocky guy! Ugh!" because of the mixed emotions she was feeling right now, she accidentally closed the door really loud that it echoed around the house.

On the other side, there's a man who was hurt, and got broken for the second time around. He couldn't stop his tears to fall with every bit of it has its equal burden and pain that he hoped to flashed away from his heart.

"I thought I could still bring back the past. How stupid of me." Junmyeon scoffed to himself.

"And Luhan hyung? Huh. I don't believe him. I mean, he never mentioned to us that she dated a girl, ever. She never had a girlfriend. For what I know, and for what he said. Tsk. He fooled me! Aaaaahh!!" Junmyeon shouted in pain.

He looked at his reflection from his glass door, he can see a man with disheveled hair, growing moustache who really looks so pathetic!

He threw once again anything that his hands can reach. His house was a mess, his room was a mess... HE WAS A TOTAL MESS!

The Junmyeon 8 years ago is now back. The broken Junmyeon, the hopeless Junmyeon, the devastated Junmyeon.

"Do I still have to do this? I mean, she's not interested in him. We don't have to-"

"Just stick to the plan. You wanna help me, right? Then don't back off! Not now. I need you... I need your help. I can't afford to loose him. Please."

"Okay, I will. For you... I will do everything..."
