Chapter 20

Where r u??? Are u still coming over???

I look at my phone in front of her house and decide whether or not I should knock on her door. I'm still quite mad that Truc lied to me but I should forgive her because we've been friends for a long time. I turn around and walk away. I'm still upset and frustrated with everyone, especially Hoseok and Truc. I just need some time. I should go get bubble tea to relieve some stress.

When I reach the store, I see Sehun behind the counter and walk up to him.

"You still working at this hour?" I say to him.

"Yeah but it's fun," he says as he cleans the counter top.

I order my drink and wait. I check my phone and see that Truc hasn't texted me again. I hear my order get called and I walk up to get it.

"Where's Truc? She promised that the two of you would come together," he says.

"Ah Truc? She's sick today," I say as I take a sip out of my drink.

"Ah really?" he says with a pout and finishes his work. He grabs his bag and walks out from behind the counter. "Well, I'm done for the day, let's go sit down."

We sit in a booth and sit across from each other. Sehun and I have been close family friends ever since we were young. I always thought of him as a little brother and would always protect him.

"Why was Truc with another guy?" he says to me, running his fingers through his rainbow hair.

"Hoseok?" I say and he nods. "He's new and she was showing him around."

I take a sip from my drink and frown at the thought of the two together.

"You jealous?" he says and I choke on my drink.

"Of course I am. We've been friends for ages and she ditches me with him, I think they're dating."

"REALLY?! Wow. I really shipped you two though." I glare at him and tell him to stop being so loud. Most of the customers were looking at us.

"Yeah I missed my chance," I say as I look over to the other end of the store and see some girls looking at us. They blush and look away.

"Sehun, it looks like you have some fans at the store," I say and slightly nudge my head to their direction.

"Huh? Those girls? Yeah, they come here every week," he says and waves to them. I can hear them giggle and I roll my eyes.

"Don't play around with girl's feelings, especially high school ones," I say and he glares at me.

"I wasn't playing around with them, I was just being nice," he mumbles and pulls out a water bottle from his bag and begins to drink it. "Anyways, what were you talking about before? Something about you missing your chance."

"Oh that?" I say and scratch the back of my head. "I kind of confessed to her a few days ago."

His eyes widen and he chokes on his water.

"WHAT?!" he yells. I shush him again because he's being too loud, again. People look at us and I quietly say sorry.

"Can you be anymore louder?" I say and glare at him. He cheekily grins at me and waits for me to continue on with my story.

"A few days ago, when I was walking her home, I was going to confess to her because Yoongi said so. He said I only have one chance, which I've now lost," I mumbled the last part and continued on with the story. "I was really close to confessing then all of a sudden her mum walks out to call her in the house because it was late. End of story."

"Wow," he says to me. It's silent for a while and he pats my shoulder.

"You'll get another chance," he says and I shake my head.

"Nah, I'm sure I won't. She's probably dating Hoseok."

"What makes you think that?" he says with a confused look.

"I saw them together this morning. He even back hugged her," I ruffle my hair in frustration and take small sips from my drink.

"Didn't you say Truc is sick today?"

"Yeah, she is but I don't even know what happened back there. I didn't see her face though so it might not be her." Sehun rolls his eyes and slaps the side of my head. I wince and glare at him.

"What was that for?" I mumble and rub my head.

"You don't even know if the girl is Truc and you instantly assume she's dating Hoseok. You idiot," he says.

Maybe the girl wasn't Truc but it could be. Hoseok is new here after all. Truc's probably one of the only girls he knows here. Maybe. This whole thing is so confusing.

I look at my watch and see that it's starting to get late and that I should get going home.

"We should start going home," I say as we both get up.

We leave the store and I realise I left my wallet in the store. I quickly run back to the store leaving Sehun alone on the side walk, yelling after me.

I quickly walk in the booth and see a couple in the booth behind where I was sitting. I take a quick glimpse at the two whilst getting my wallet and I'm shocked to see Hoseok...with Truc? Again, I only see the back of her head but this time I'm sure it's her. No it can't be Truc. You don't even know if it's her. Like Sehun said, I didn't see her face so I can't assume anything.

I leave the store trying to shake of the bad feeling about what had just happened. Why does the back of the girl's head look like Truc? It could be anyone but I'm sure it's Truc but I don't know why. Why did she fall for a different guy?
