Prostitutes,Money And Love

Chapter 44 /Healing/

Hyun's POV

"What if she still hates both of us?"Minho asked as he took off his shoes at our doorstep.

"Then she's a petty little brat."I replied curtly. "Remember,all you need to do is explain what happened,refute whatever she says that is untrue. If she goes on a rampage,just leave. No need to feel sorry because you've already done everything you could."

"Still as bossy,Hyun."

"Correction: Still as authoritative. I just know my shit better than you do."I smirked.

"Yeah,alright."he rolled his eyes and I pushed the door open.

Talk about fate. Soyeon was carrying a cup of water to her room when we walked in and turned her back. "What,your new boytoy?"she scoffed.

"No,Minho."I gave her the fakest smile to spite her. But her attention wasn't on me. It was on the boy with ash grey hair. Her expression went blank and she dropped her cup,spilling the water all over. "M-Minho?"

"Long time no see."Minho winked with a bright smile.

"What are you here for?"she questioned.

"Hyun found me and said you had some misunderstandings regarding the three of us so I'm here to clear it up. I mean,it's quite nice,a reunion,eh?"he shrugged.

"Oh."she muttered,still shocked. I tried stifling my laughter;her face was priceless! I've never seen her so flustered.

"Just shoot me with your burning questions."Minho said and Soyeon nodded her head,climbing down the stairs and heading to the sofa where Minho had already seated himself down.

"I'll clean up and get some drinks."I announced but Soyeon held me back.

"Stay...please,"she pleaded,hanging her head low. I raised a brow and my gaze softened on her.

"Alright."

"So,since Hyun refused to reveal anything,I expect you have prepared a script or something?"Minho chuckled,joking around.

"Be serious."I warned and smacked him on the head. He gave me a face and mumbled a reluctant 'fine'.

"Well,it's s-sort of like this...I liked you and Hyun knew as my bestfriend but she didn't give a hoot about my feelings and practically just-I don't know-seduced you (?) and you two got so close you started ditching me and I became a loner."

"I've already told you this. I tried to reach out to you but you always ignored me."

"Of course I would after you betrayed me!"she burst out.

"Ok,calm down ladies. Let's not get angry at each other."he laughed. "Mhm...it's just a misunderstanding,okay?"

"Yeah whatever."I grunted.

"Okay. So let's hear my part of the story. I had a crush on Hyun. That was the past though so don't get too cocky,Hyun."

I rolled my eyes. How real can a 5 year old's crush be?

"And I knew Soyeon had a crush on me. So it was simple:Ignore Soyeon,be friends with Hyun. I was 5 years old,you can't blame me for being inconsiderate to your feelings. As to how you drifted apart,I could tell Hyun wanted to be friends with you but you were consumed by jealousy."

"So you purposefully ignored me?"Soyeon asked.

"Yes and I'm sorry for that. So you guys should just be friends again."

"Friends,not yet. But I'm willing to call it truce because I want to live in peace."I suggested,feigning nonchalance.

"No..."
