My Rival, My Love

Chapter XIX: The Melancholy Of Lim Changkyun

YOUR POV

"Hyungwon really has a talent for fusing such words into a beautiful poem like this." said Kihyun as he read Hyungwon's poem.

"I know right? I'm very thankful I met him... But now... he's..."

"He's gone and now, you should honor your promise to him by being strong. We'll always be by your side, no matter what happens, okay?"

"Kihyun... thank you so much for being here with me today. Wait... Didn't you mention earlier that you won't be going to class today?"

"Yes that's right. Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's Saturday today so..."

"Ah, that. Well, one of our professors wished to have a make up class today. I was supposed to tell you that one yesterday but, I couldn't contact you."

"I see now. And our classmates?"

Kihyun sighed before seating beside me. "Don't get me started with them. I would rather choose to be questioned by our professors for an exam than those classmates of ours!"

"Why? What happened?!"

"Right after our first class in the afternoon ended, they all swarmed around me and bombarded me with their questions! I didn't want to answer them because I might compromise your situation and good thing our next professor came in with instructions from our dean to tell them not to question me."

"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that... Changkyun and Minkyun didn't go back to class either?"

"Yeah as well as... HER."

"Well, I expect she wouldn't considering what you did to her."

"I'm still proud of that, thank you very much. She still smelled like tuna when I saw her again."

"Really? When and where?"

"After Minhyuk was taken to his room, Hyungwon, Hyunwoo and I went out and then we saw her waiting outside. She and Hyungwon talked although I don't know what they talked about."

"I see."

"I forgot to ask Hyungwon about that. I'm sorry..."

"It's alright Kihyun, don't worry about it."

"So, what now?" he asked.

"For now, I'm still waiting for my dad's approval to let me visit my brother.... Although, there is something else on my mind."

"And what's that?"

"How did the press know that Hyungwon and I went out on a date?"

"Oh, now that you mentioned that, it does makes me curious. Do you think the two of you were followed from that event?"

"Maybe but Seokwon would've noticed if we were being followed. He was the one driving me that time and he has a good eye spotting those behind us. I guess I can say the same thing for Hyunwoo too."

"Then maybe... Hayoon? I mean, she got all of us surprised when she attacked you claiming that you keep stealing everything and everyone from her. Of course, that could only mean one thing: she saw you and Hyungwon go out on that date."

"Hmmm... But, according to Hyungwon during our date that time, Hayoon left first before he did."

"But, there's a possibility that she might've turned back or did something else. And maybe, if that was the case, then she could've followed Hyungwon and saw the two of you enter and leave that bookstore!"
