Heart Cannot Lie

chapter 9

Jeonghan POV

I woke up to Seungcheol kissing my neck. I glance to the clock and it is 3 a.m. 'Hmm what is it Cheolie?' I said and give a peck to his cheek. 'I missed you. I been wanting to kiss you since last night but I fall asleep,' he said still planting butterfly kisses on my neck. I smile to his sweet action. 'I am with you now Cheolie. Still missing me?' I pinched his nose. He smirk and said,' Of course dear. I miss you every second just like I needed oxygen to live you know.' 'So cheesy. Urgh,' I said. We laugh together. Honestly I don't want this moment to pass. But I promised Tzuyu. Ah I am a fool. 'So Hannie, will you be my lover?' Seungcheol looked at me straight in the eyes. 'Cheol- ah I need to tell you something,' I said. My tears began to flow. 'Why Hannie? Don't cry. Sorry. Ah I shouldn't have asked you. Sorry Hannie. Please don't cry,' Seungcheol said whilst wiping my tears with his thumb. 'No Cheol. Its me. I am so stupid. I love you but I cannot be your lover. 'I said sobing quietly. 'Why Hannie? Because I am a boy?' He asked me. 'No. Its not because of that. I don't care about that. But I promised someone. I promised someone to set up a date with you.' I can see Seungcheol's face frowning. 'Why Hannie. You know I love you. Only you,' he said. 'Sorry Cheol-ah, ' I said hugging him. 'Who is it Hannie?' Seungcheol asked me. 'Its Tzuyu,' I replied. Seungcheol broke away from the hug. He's crying. 'How could you Hannie. You know I love you,' he sobs quietly. Its my first time seeing him cry. And it was because of me. I wiped his tears and kissed his lips. I whisper,' Im so sorry Cheol-ah.' We were crying together in our kiss. Seungcheol then pulls away and said,' I will do it for you Hannie. If this will stop you from blaming yourself for what happen to Tzuyu. And I want you to never cry again. You have to be strong okay. Please promise me if you love me.' He smile. I know he is trying hard to smile to make me feel better. I know I hurt him deeply. My heart ache so bad but I nod anyway. He then pulls me to his chest and pat my head. 'Lets sleep Hannie,' he said.

The alarm woke me up. Seungcheol was already awake and was taking his shower. I woke up and ironed our school uniform. The scent of his perfume linger in my room. My tears flow to my cheek. Then I feel someone hug me from behind. Its Seungcheol. ' Please don't cry again Hannie. You promised me,' he said kissing my neck. I wiped my tears and turned to him. I carresed his face and smile. I couldn't say a thing cause my heart ache so much. I went to the bathroom without saying anything. I can hear Seungcheol let out a little sigh behind me. He must be very upset too.

Today was the most sad walk to school. I am with Seungcheol but we're not talking to each other. And he didn't hold my hand for the first time after all this years. I secretly wiped my tears pretending to brush my hair away. I glance to Seungcheol and I can see sadness in his eyes. And I can see he was deeply thinking. 'Hannie, just go to the classroom okay. I need to go to the toilet,' he said. I nod and walk to the classroom alone. I sat at my place ignoring the what-happen look from the boys. Later, Seungcheol arrived and sit beside me. His eyes was red. Was he been crying? I wanted to talk to him but then the teacher arrived.

Seungcheol was quiet today. He smile to the boys jokes but I can see his eyes was faking it. I know he is sad. He caught me looking at him and then he reached for my hand. He rub it and smile to me. 'Its okay Hannie,' he said. You were lying Cheolie. I smile back and said,' Okay'. Just then, Wonwoo came and tell him that their basketball coach want to meet them. After they leave, Seungkwan, Seokmin, Jun and Hansol went to my table and gave me a suspicious look. 'Now Yoon Jeonghan. What happen to both of you today. You always act lovey dovey but today there is no touchy touchy. Both of you look sad too. WHY?' Seungkwan asked me. 'Yeah what happen to you're the apple to my pie hyung,' Seokmin adds. Jun and Hansol laugh and cringed at Seokmin's cheesy words. 'Im just tired everyone. Yesterday I went to visit Tzuyu until late evening after school,' I said. It was the only excuse I can think of right now. 'Ahh,' they said. 'Okay excuse accepted,' Jun said. 'Then why Seungcheol hyung look gloomy too?' Hansol asked me. I pat this cute little boy head and said,' That my dear, you will have to ask him yourself cause I dont know the answer.' This caused them to laugh. I laugh too but deep inside my heart. I am feeling very sorry to Seungcheol. I am feeling sad and mad at myself too.

Seungcheol POV

Today I am feeling down and sad at the same time. I am slightly mad at Jeonghan for making decision without telling me first. He said he loves me but then he is setting me up to Tzuyu. He was selfish. But then I understand he do that out of guilt he feel for what happen to Tzuyu. I agree to this cause I wanted him not to blame himself anymore. I love Yoon Jeonghan so much that I am willing to do everything to make him happy even if it mean I have to sacrifice myself.

I secretly cried in the toilet this morning. I am so sad of Jeonghan decision. After all that happen between us, how can he agree to Tzuyu request. He makes me feel heavenly happy when he said he loves me but then at the same time he breaks my heart when he said he wanted to set me up with Tzuyu. Yoon Jeonghan. You amazingly makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. I can't believe, now I am crying because of you. 'Hyung what happen to you. You had been crying, don't you,' Wonwoo said. 'No I am just tired. Thats all,' I lied. 'You cannot lie to me hyung. I can see that you were sad right now. You can share it with me hyung,' he said. Wonwoo is my very close friend so I tell him about what happen. I didn't even hide my tears in front of him. He shocked, but he pat my shoulder and said,' Why do you have to agree with Jeonghan hyung idea anyway? You could have said no hyung.' ' I cannot be selfish around Jeonghan, Wonwoo-ah. That is how much I love him,' I said. I feel a bit relieved after I talk to Wonwoo about my feeling. 'Don't tell anyone about this Wonwoo-ah,' I said. 'Okay hyung. But please don't keep it by yourself when you sad. You have me,' he said to me. I nod and smile to him. I am so glad I had a friend like Wonwoo. Mingyu is lucky to have him.

After school, I went to the hospital to fetch Tzuyu. I don't want to do this but I have to. I am doing this only for Jeonghan. When I arrived at the hospital, I can see Tzuyu was smiling at me as if she knew I am coming to see her. Jeonghan must have informed him about me. I faked a smile and greet her. She suddenly hugged me and said,' Thank you for coming.' 'Okay, no biggie Tzuyu. Now come let's go. I will send you home,' I said. She give me a sweet smile and we took the cab to her house. 'Ch..Cheolie..can I call you Cheolie,' she said. 'Of course you can,' I said. 'Can I borrow your shoulder Cheolie?' Tzuyu asked me. 'Sure. Here,' I said then I put her head to my shoulder. She crossed her hand to mine and makes herself comfortable. 'You smell nice Cheolie,' she said. I was shocked. It was something that Jeonghan always said to me. I feel sad again. I miss you Yoon Jeonghan.

I wake Tzuyu up when we arrived at her house. Her house was big and before I head back home, i greeted her mom. Her mom was beautiful. No wonder Tzuyu was beautiful too. Then Tzuyu walk me out the front door. 'Thank you for today Cheolie,' she said before giving me a long peck on my lip. It makes me shocked. I just smile at her and waved goodbye. She must liked me so much that she do that in front of her mom. Sorry Tzuyu, I am in love with Yoon Jeonghan.
