Who You ?

{ seven }

I woke up and looked at the clock. '12 00'. Well, it's normal for me to wake up that late on Sundays. I took a bath and went down to have brunch. Youngbae was drinking his coffee while Seunghyun hyung was resting on the couch.

"Good morning, Mr Jiyong." Seunghyun hyung emphasises on the word 'morning', teasing me for waking up so late.

I looked at him and smiled. "Good morning."

I entered the kitchen and poured some orange juice into my glass. I sat beside Youngbae and had my brunch; toast with nutella. I don't really eat korean foods in the morning.

After eating, we sat in the living room together.

"Are you guys going somewhere?" I asked.

"I have no plans actually," Seunghyun hyung answered.

"Yeah, me neither," Youngbae shook his head.

"Wanna hang out?" I asked.

"Where?" Seunghyun hyung asked

"Where do you want to go?" Questions were answered with questions.

"I'm fine with anywhere." said Youngbae

"Museum," Seunghyun hyung suggested.

"Sounds fun," I agreed.

"What time?" Youngbae asked.

"Now?"

"Great! Let's go!" Seunghyun hyung went up to his room and got ready.

Youngbae and I followed him. I entered my room and saw the bed which looks really comfortable. I needed rest, but I can't just rest with Seunghyun hyung and Youngbae here. I felt guilty too for leaving them early last night.

I opened my wardrobe and picked the shirt I wanted to wear and put it on. It's just a simple grey long sleeve t-shirt with a black pants.

I went down and saw Youngbae standing at the doorway, putting his watch on. Seunghyun hyung followed me down the stairs towards Youngbae.

"Kaja!"

I opened the door and we walked towards my car. We put our seatbelts on before driving off. Seunghyun hyung gave me the address and it took us 20 minutes to reach there.

We entered the museum and started walking around, looking at the paintings and arts there. They are really beautiful! We went separate ways but agreed to meet at the entrance by 3pm. I walked around, feeling amazed and impressed with the arts there.

'No wonder Seunghyun hyung enjoys visiting the museum,' I thought. It is really relaxing.

As I was walking, I saw a very familiar figure staring at a painting. I could not fiigure out who she is from the back but she seemed really familiar. I approached the painting. It is really a confusing one; the painter seemed to just threw the cans of paint and they sat perfectly on the canvas. The story behind the painting is unknown but it is really a nice one. Most of it was covered with red, pink and black paint.

She turned around and we made eye contact.

"Jiyong," she called.

I stared at her, speechless.

"Hye... Hye...." I stuttered.

"Rare to see you here," she commented.

"Regular?" I asked.

"Yeah, somehow. I like the paintings here. They are nice," she commented.

"Yeah," I responded, making the situation less awkward.
"You alone?"

"Yeah," she answered.

"Where's your fiance," I took alot of courage to ask that question.
"or husband?"

She shook her head.
"I have none of it."

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"He let go of me after a year," she told me, although I wouldn't want to know about it.

I acted like I'm concern, I care, I pity.
But deep in my heart, I really do.

"I shouldn't have left you to be with him," she almost cried.

"Well, what's done is done." I said.
"Well, I got to go. Hyung is waiting," I lied, just to get away from her.

I walked off without waiting for any responses from her. I had half an hour left to walk around, but what's the point? I walked around without looking carefully and enjoying the paintings and arts, just like how I did before I met Hyelin. My mind was thinking about her. Broke up? They've broke up? I am not going to grab the chance, am I?

I finally reached the exit, which is the entrance too. Seunghyun hyung was still inside while Youngbae had a drink at the cafē. I walked towards the cafē and sat beside him.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Finally, you are here. Wanna drink?" he asked.

"I'll order mine later," I answered.

"Okay then," he nodded, then took a sip of his coffee.

"Do you know?" I started.

"Know what?"

"Hyelin has broke up with her fiance." I told him.

"How do you know?" he asked.

"Well, I bumped into her just now."

"Right. So?" he asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know."

"You want to go back to her, don't you?" he asked.

"I don't know. I love her. She was my first love and I haven't let go of her yet, I guess," I told him.

Youngbae shook his head. "Well, it's up to you. Whatever it is, I will always support you, if you think that it is the best."

I smiled. "Thanks."

I then went to the cashier to order my drink.

-

I opened the door and we entered. Seunghyun hyung sat on the sofa.

"Ah, it's so tiring," he complained.

"Have a good rest, hyung." I said.

"I will," he responded.

Youngbae was already in his room. I went up to my room to have a good rest before a whole day of school tomorrow. I threw myself on the bed and unlocked my phone, just to find that I received a message from Hyelin. I didn't know that I still save her number.

Hyelin: 'Hey,'

'Hey,' I replied.

Hyelin: 'What are you doing?'

Me: 'Just resting.'

Hyelin: 'Oh sorry, am I disturbing you?'

Me: 'Ani, gwaenchana'

Hyelin: 'Alright then.'

Hyelin: 'About us,'

She sent me the text one by one.

'Let's not talk about the past, arachi? What's done is done,' I interrupted.

Hyelin: 'Mianhae. I know I've hurt you so much.'

I froze for moment, staring at her response. I love her, I still do. My heart is aching but I gathered the courage to reply her; 'Gwaenchana.'

I don't know why I said so although it's not okay. I suffered, for almost 3 years. I've troubled the members so much, making them worry about me so much.

Hyelin: 'Thanks.'

I sent her a smiling emoji. I locked my phone and sighed. I put my phone away, hugged my pillow and fell asleep.
