To Be With You | hoshi

xxix

These days, time flies by too fast. I wake up in the morning, go to school, the next thing I can remember I'm getting ready to sleep in my bed. Ever since that night outside, Soonyoung and I have come back to our old brother-sister relationship with all those bickering. Mingyu doesn't talk to me but he doesn't avoid me at least. Yerim had been very quiet. Up 'til now, I don't know what happened after the two of them kissed. The boys treat the fight as something to laugh about now.

Today is a Saturday, meaning I have free time in my hands. For once, staying at home seemed boring. I wanted to go out with Soonyoung but it seems like he's busy in Dad's office. So I went by myself.

I was strolling around the mall. I window shopped instead of spending money on clothes. But spending money on food is a MUST. I ordered fast food and sat on the seat by the windows. 

"Wah, isn't that Park Miyoung?", someone said. My eyes went to the direction of the voice... and I wish I hadn't. 

"Miyoung-ah, long time no see!", Gyuri said. She sat on the chair in front of me.

I fake smiled at her. "Oh, Gyuri. Hello there..."

"Oh my god. I can't believe I'll see you here after how many months." She was acting all buddy-buddy with me, it's so annoying when she feels as if we were close. "How have you been?"

"I've been good." I put down my food. As much as I'm hungry, I wanna get of here right now.

"My boyfriend's over there, still ordering.", she said. Well, I didn't ask.

"I have to go. I guess I'll talk to you later..?", I told her. 

"So soon?"

"Yeah, I--uh..."

"Park Minyoung?", another person said. My eyes look up to the person holding a tray of food. Oh, god...

"It's Miyoung.", I corrected him.

He just laughed. "I haven't seen you in so long, I forgot your name. Do you remember me?"

Of course, I do... Mr. Asshole. "Yeah, Jaewoo."

"Babe!", Gyuri said towards Jaewoo. Ah, of course, I knew they'd get together. "Can you believe this is Miyoung? She looks so different!"

I do? "Ah, no... I didn't--"

"I know! She looks cuter..." Jaewoo started checking me out. Ew.

Gyuri pouted. "But I'm cuter than her, right?~"

"Of course, you are~" They cooed at each other. Ew.

"I really have to get going...", I said.

"Aw... don't go now. We only just met.", Jaewoo said.

"No, I--"

"Ten minutes?", he insisted. The two of them were smiling at me.

 And because I am a very kind person, I said, "Okay."

The rest of the time was spent on the two of them flirting, meaning my presence really was of no use to the couple. They look cute together~ Just kidding. Ew.

"I'll just use the restroom. Excuse me.", Gyuri said. She stood and left the two of us.

"So...", Jaewoo spoke first. "How've you been?" He smiled sweetly at me.

"Ah... I'm good...", I awkwardly replied. 

"You're looking better these days." He licked his lips. I had to raise an eyebrow at that.
