제 18 장: Ex Girlfriend

KYUNGSOO'S P.O.V.

"No, no, no! Kyungsoo, I think you need a break. Your mind seems to be affecting the way you're dancing. You keep getting the steps wrong!" The dance choreographer scolded as the rest of the members were looking at me, worried.

"Yes, Mrs Kim." I said quietly, bowed in respect and made my way to the couch.

I laid across the whole couch and placed my hands over my eyes. It seemed like I couldn't hear the other members of the dance choreographer at all. All I could hear was my heavy panting and my beating heart.

Haneul has been on my mind for who knows how long. Not only that, but Yeon Ah somehow got my phone number and texted me.

'Meet me at the coffee shop at 8 PM?'

Of course, I wouldn't go. I'm trying to forget her, erase her from my mind. Then again, maybe what Xiumin hyung was trying to tell me was that I should stop running away from my problems and face them. I need to be as manly as Luhan hyung.

I sighed and sat up from my position and patted my cheeks.

Get yourself together Kyungsoo. Yeon Ah is just the past. Past is the past... Past is the past... Past is the--

_____-{(￣(工)￣)}-_____
8 PM, Coffee Shop

--Present... PAST IS THE PRESENT! I CAN'T DO THIS!

I mentally screamed at myself as I was standing in front of the said coffee shop. Right after practice, I told the members that I would be going to confront my problems with Yeon Ah. The all gave me encouraging words, but it feels like it disappeared and got lost in the sea of my mind as I see Yeon Ah sitting at a table for two from the window.

I slowly brought up my fist and whispered to my self. "F-Fighting..."

As soon as I was about to open the door, I dashed out from the coffee shop, the road and all the way to the bus stop to get home.

Once I reached the dorm, I lightly pinched myself.

This is not a dream, right? I saw Yeon Ah for the first time in a year and I ran away like a coward. I shouldn't feel guilty for leaving the girl who made it hard for me to connect with someone again. What I did was good? Giving her a taste of her own medicine?

I sighed and entered the dorm to be greeted by the face of the members.

"How was it?" Xiumin asked giving me a big smile.

"What happened?" Baekhyun asked, slinging his arm around my shoulders.

"Do you need some time alone?" Suho asked, patting my back.

"Guys, guys! Don't worry about it." I answered while putting my things away and pushing their hands away.

"How can we not worry about it?" We should care about our umma as much as you care about us!" Sehun cheekily answered.

I snorted and responded. "What if I don't care?"

Everybody pretended to be shocked, overreacting. They all knew I was kidding anyways. Seeing that everybody was in their own world, I took this moment as an advantage.

"Well, I'll be going..." I said slowly and tried to walk past them, but Kris and Tao, some of the tallest members blocked my path.

Shoulder to shoulder, "Where do you think you're going?" Tao questioned, crossing his arms.

"To prepare the table. You don't want to starve, do you?" I secretly smirked, knowing that I'll be fine.

They won't prevent me from making dinner, food is our life. By the time we eat, Haneul will be at the table, so they wouldn't bring up the question: 'what happened?'

The two hesitated from moving, but eventually did. I happily walked out of the crowd, preventing a smile from growing. Once I made it into the kitchen, I did what I said, and made dinner.

When I finished preparing, I called them down and we began eating.

"Where's Haneul?" I asked, seeing the empty spot at the table that was bothering me as much as an irritating itch.

"She went out for work." Chanyeol answered. "She works at a convenience store her aunt owns, but she rarely goes there."

"Her aunt must've gotten pretty mad that she spends most of her time with guys instead of working, am I right?" I awkwardly laughed and took a spoon full of rice.

"Spill it." Kai eagerly spoke while slamming his chopsticks on the table.

"What about Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Chen!" I exclaimed, pointing at the three who froze as I spoke their name.

We all looked at Suho, asking him to choose who speaks first. He looked down at the table with a thoughtful look before looking back up.

"The beagle line seemed to be hiding something longer than D.O, so I say they go first." He said calmly and continued eating.

Baekhyun gulped and seemed unsure, Chanyeol awkwardly continued eating and Chen sighed.

"We followed Haneul a few days ago to see if her friend was--" Chen said, but was cut off by Baekhyun elbowing him.

"--A boy... And we found out something that was even worst." Chen looked straight at me before scratching his head.

"What is it?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

Knowing them, Chanyeol probably already told Baekhyun that her friend was a girl, then Baekhyun passed down to news to Chen. I bet five dollars that they went to see if she's hot.

"Her f-f-friend is--" Chen tried to say, but unfortunately my phone rang.

I checked my pockets and took out my phone. On the screen, Yeon Ah's name displayed.

The members around me peeked at my phone and gasped. "You have contact with her?"

I furiously shook my head. "She somehow got my number." I said, not taking my eyes off of the ringing phone.

"Hello." I spoke into my phone with my pokerface.

"D-Do K-Kyungoo?" She called into the phone so weakly that my face became bitter. Was she trying to mock me?!

"Kyungsoo..." She sobbed.

"Enough with this prank already and tell me what you want." I sighed.

"K-Kyungsoo. W-Why didn't you come? Don't you know how much I wan- No. How much I need to tell you?!" She shouted into the phone while crying.

"What? You want to be friends again? You want a truce? Friendly interaction?" I laughed bitterly. "Or do you want money?"

"No... I want... I want us to be together again."
