When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Forty Five: When We Somehow Fall Apart

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

The scene before her strikes her like lightning. Something she's afraid of and at the same time she loathes. The only thing she knew right then is to run away. But tears are already shedding down her eyes. Her closest childhood girlfriend and her boyfriend in each other's arms, it's the worst case scenario for her fragile heart.

Jeonghan pushes the girl above her hardly, not caring if he hurts her this time, just to get a hold of the weeping girl who just ran away. This is not supposed to happen. Not now, not ever. He dashes out of the room as if his life depends on it.

While left in the room, Nayeon only starts to cry herself too. She's so humiliated. She feels so small she wants to disappear. The only thing she gained from this outrageous plan is that one kiss from him. In the very end, that's the only good thing that happened for her. It's the only thing. She hugs herself in self-pity and slowly dresses herself up.

He instantly catches up with her, he grabs her arm and pulls her back. She's a bit hysterical but fury engulfs her all over. As she faces him, only pain emits from her, which kills him inside slowly.

"Seunghee!"

"What are you doing in that room?" she asks him, eyes burning with anger.

"She called me and..." he knows whatever he says will never reach her this time.

"She called on you when she's almost naked when you barge in on her?! You expect me to believe that?!" she is furious. Just when all her jealousy has settled down, she sees him in that room, alone with her, almost butt naked.

"Seunghee-ya, you're all wrong about this," but he has nothing to support his defense. He was really caught in the act of touching Nayeon, only because she was the one who got all over him. She was desperate.

"I don't want to hear it. Just go Jeonghan. Just leave me alone! Let go!"

"Listen to me okay! Let me clear this up."

"No! I don't want to listen to you! How could you do this to me? I hate you!!"

Those words hurt more than anything else in the world. The first time he heard it, it was harmful, this time, it's almost fatal. He doesn't know if he's gonna recover from it. Her eyes are piercing him to the core. She's too absorbed in the thought that he betrayed her. And even if he hasn't really done anything wrong, even if he doesn't want to, the way she looks at him right now makes him feel guilty nonetheless.

"Let go!!" she shouts weeping at the same time.

The only thing he does is let her go. He can't bear seeing her like this. She runs away from him just like that. The only thing running in his mind is the future. There can be no way this is happening. This has to be cleared out. He won't let this ruin them. Not because of something so trivial.

As they were fighting, Nayeon escapes the room unnoticed, soundless and shamed.

Seunghee wants to listen to Jeonghan. She wants to talk to him. But she's badly hurt. She's badly pained. She's badly wounded. She probably won't be able to comprehend what he'll try to say to her. So she locks herself in for a while. She don't want him to see her like this. Of all people she should believe in and trust, he's undoubtedly above the list. What she can't really accept now is the fact that something like that happened. Whether he wanted it or not, he held another girl in his arms. And that just can't get out of her head. She trusts him, she believes in him, but if there's the benefit of the doubt, there's always its opposite.
