Entangled Love

Chapter 11: Tears

Jihyo's pov

The sunlight shone into my room through the partially opened window. I tossed and turn in my bed before opening my eyes gradually. I lifted my hands to my head and rubbed against it.

"Ah.. It hurts.." I winced in pain as I tried to relieve the throbbing headache by applying pressure on the temples. I continued to lie on my bed and took a quick glance at the chair opposite my bed that was covered with what seems like a white shirt and jeans.

'Aren't those the clothes that I wore yesterday?' I thought to myself. I threw the blanket aside and glance at the clothes that I was wearing. I felt my eyes widening.

My attention was diverted by the noises coming from outside. 'Someone is in my house?'

I staggered out of my bed and opened the door slowly. With wobbly steps, I walked to the living room and stood there, surprised by what I saw.

"Gary oppa.. What.. What are you doing here?" I wasn't expecting to see him in my house.

"Oh Jihyo-yah! You're awake? Take a seat. Oppa made some heajangguk for you." He pulled me towards the dinning table and pull out the chair, signalling to me to sit down.

"How did you get in here?" I questioned.

"Jihyo-yah, why don't you sit down and drink some soup first. You must be having a bad hangover after-"

"I'm asking you how did you get in here? And my clothes.. What did you do to me?" I interjected.

"It's not what you imagined. You were so drunk last night to even reply my question so I had no choice but to check your ID card for your address and about your clothes.." his voice trailed off.

"YAH! What did you do to me?!" I crossed my arms into a 'X' shape covering the front of my chest and yelled.

Gary's pov

"Jihyo-yah, just listen to me first." I looked at her shocked face and said.

*Flashback*

Her clothes were slightly stained with her vomit and it's wasn't right for me to change her out of it.

I can't take advantage of her when she's drunk. I decided to look for Jihyo's neighbour to help out. I remember that Jihyo always mention to the members that her neighbour treats her like she is her own daughter; cooking meals for her to eat due to her hectic schedule.

I knocked on the door, hoping that she will open it.

The door open and a middle-aged woman greeted me. "Who are you looking for?"

"Joesonghabnida. I am Kang Gary. I know it's late at night but could you help me with something. It's about Jihyo. " I explained.

I lead her into Jihyo's apartment and explained. "Her clothes are dirty but as a guy, it's not right for me to change her out of those clothes. So could you please help me?"

She turned to look at me and nodded her head with a smile on her face. I exit the room for the ajumma to change Jihyo's clothes.

She came out a few minutes later and informed me. "I've placed the dirty clothes on the chair. But.. How did she get so drunk?"

"Ah.. It's a long story. Kamsahabnida, ahjumma." I bowed and see her to the door.

*Flashback ends*

I explained to Jihyo. Slowly, she brought her hands at the front of her chest down to her sides.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask your neighbour. I swear that what I'm saying the-" Jihyo cut in before I could even finish my sentence.

"Arasseo. You can leave now." she said without looking at me. I could see her eyes getting watery as the time passes.

"Jihyo, just let me accompany you for today. " I tried to reach out my hands to hold her hands but she walked to the door and unlocked it.

"Just leave. Please."

"Jihyo-yah.. " I walked towards her and call out. She quietly looked down at her feet. I could hear her sniffing.

"Arasseo.. Oppa will leave but promise me that you will finish the soup." I sighed and said.

She shut the door as soon as I step out of her apartment. Seconds later, I could hear her sobbing.

"Jihyo-yah, mianhae. " I mumbled before walking off with a heavy heart.

Jihyo's pov

As soon as Gary oppa left, I shut the door and my legs gave way. I slump onto the floor, letting out the tears that I've been holding back.

I covered my mouth with my hand, hoping that no one will hear me. I glanced at the bowl of soup on the table. My vision was blurred by the falling tears.

Gary oppa was the one who cause Chang joo oppa and I to break up but why don't I feel any hatred towards him?
