Tender Love {Chanyeol/Jongin} [English Ver.]

~44~

The past two days were dark: cloudy sky, rain and three people in bad and sad moods. The three people who hadn't said a word to each other or seen them.

Chanyeol went on his own way. He couldn't bear to see Naeun after what happened. He was hurt and felt like the stupidest guy ever for thinking she had feelings for him all this time when everything was just a misundertood. . . .

Sehun kept on meeting with Eunji, Jongin and Baekhyun. He wanted to see Naeun but she was never with them. He wanted to, at least, talk with her. To know if she was okay. . . , that she wasn't mad at him. . . , or if she had thought about giving him another chance. That was what he was wishing for the most.

Naeun also went on her own way. She either wanted to see Chanyeol and Sehun, so she didn't meet up with her friends, instead, she would spend her break times at the cafeteria or library with Cheolwoo. He knew something happened to her but without asking nor knowing what, he was there for her and made her smile with his silly comments. He had changed a little bit, now he was happier and not so big-headed like before. . . .

Eunji literally gave Naeun only two days to choose. She was confused yet the two days helped her to think and analyse her situation. It was really hard because she liked to be with the two of them, they made her happy, they took care of her, always protecting her. . . . Sehun was her dream guy since she started high school. He was the boy that always made her nervous by just showing his presence. The one who always made her heart beat faster than normal. He was the one who made her the happiest at the saddest moments. . . . He was her shoulder to lean on. He was her first love and first heart-break. He was the very first boy, after her dad, that she loved with her all. However, after he began dating Jiwon he became more distant with her, which hurt her because he was still her friend. Sometimes he would be cold with her, and he also made bad jokes that hurt her. . . .

And Chanyeol. . . . It's true that at first they had their differences. . , that they'd argue for any kind of thing. He could be big-headed sometimes about his looks and talents but he was that way only with his closest friends. He never made someone else feel inferior, he never treated other people how they shouldn't be treated. He was polite, he had good manners and always tried to make others happy. He was secure about himself. But there was something she knew he was insecure and worried about: his songs compositions. He wanted them to be good. No. Very good! Despite no one but Naeun or other of his closest friends would hear them.

His songs. . . . His amazing songs that made her feel as if they were written just for her, even though it could be impossible. His deep, masculine voice that gave her chills when he spoke lower than normal or when he sang, or rapped. . . . His height, which for some reason made her feel safe when he stood beside her and one of his physical appearance that made him good-looking and other people's eye-catcher, -but the same goes to Sehun-.

How he had his future goal set and was working hard to achieve it, which called her attention since the very beginning. He was smart, funny most of the times, making her smile everytime they were together. He also took good care of her. . , with him she felt like there was nothing to worry about.

She was aware of her thoughts about him. But what was it actually? Did it mean that she just admired him as someone she could look up to, a good friend. . ? Or did it mean that she actually liked him?

Cheolwoo passed his hand infront of Naeun's eyes, bringing her down to Earth after noticing she wasn't listening to him, she was just staring at a point in the table. She smiled as she looked at him.

"Sorry. . . ."

"Finish your lunch," he asked her.

Her plate was full with food. She wasn't hungry at all but she knew she had to eat or she'd get sick for not eating well the past days.
