Can You Hear My Heart? | Infinite Sungyeol | Unedited

14 - Strangely Weird

ZEISHA's POV

"Hello everyone! I'm Emmie.." The lady who came with Sungjong greeted everyone with a wave and a warm smile. She looked like an angel with her long wavy hair down, enveloping her tiny face. Her milky white skin is just so perfect. She's got the height that matches that of Sungjong's too. "I'm Sungjong's childhood friend and I just came back from Australia."

Even her voice is so angelic. I think I'm going to fangirl over her.

All of us froze for a moment. They are surprised for sure at the unexpected visitor, but mine is a different case. I was more like checking my inner self whether I'm affected or not.

What is this? Why am I not affected?

"Wait. Emmie?" Dara Eonnie looked like she's trying to remember something until her eyes made a glow. "The little girl whom Sungjong loved to tease when he was a kid?"

She giggled. "You're right. Eonnie!" She rushed over to Dara Eonnie and hugged her carefully. "O.M.G. I want to be your baby's godmother. Can I?" She touched Dara's baby bump while looking around, and her eyes rested on Sunggyu who is sitting quietly on her right side. "Is he your husband?"

Haha! She's just saying whatever.

Dara laughed and attempted to correct Emmie's wrong assumption, but Woohyun is way too fast to volunteer the information.

"Hello. I am Nam Woohyun and I am Dara's husband." He even emphasized the word 'husband'.

"Oh.. Sorry.. I just assumed because.. uhmmm.." Emmie stuttered while avoiding Sunggyu's eyes.

"He looks grumpy?" Sungjong supplied the words that Emmie could not say.

"Yeah.." Without hesitation, she agreed automatically, complete with a nod.

Sungjong laughed and ruffled her hair. "Some habits never change. You still assume things. Look.." He pointed towards Sunggyu. "He looks pissed."

Strange. I am supposed to get jealous right now because I have a crush on him, but why don't I feel anything like that?

"But you told me Eonnie's husband is grumpy and clingy!" Emmie retorted, trying to defend herself.

"What????!!!! Grumpy?! Clingy?!" Woohyun roared. "Yah! Lee Sungjong, you're dead!"

While everyone is laughing at how Woohyun and Sungjong playfully beat each other, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked at the person next to me. Sungyeol. He is smiling at me which made me feel weird. Today, I've been seeing him in a different light. I just don't want to accommodate this feeling that I couldn't understand.

"Are you okay?" Dijah made an extra effort to be beside me and discretely asked. "I mean.. Is your heart okay?"

"Surprisingly, yes." With matching nod, I replied. "However, Dij, whenever I look at this choding beside me, I am feeling something strange. Something weird. I wonder what it is."

Dijah's forehead crumpled then slowly turned into a mischievous smile. Squeezing my cheeks, she shook my face like a toddler. "Uggghhhhh.. So naive." She pinched my nose too. "Jung Zeisha, chukahamnida!"

"What for?" Geez! This lady is talking in riddles.

"Geunyang.." She replied while shrugging her shoulders.

"What are you whispering about you two?" -Sony

Dijah and me shook our heads at the same time while smiling awkwardly.

"You two are obviously keeping a secret." Sony crossed her arms over her chest and looked at me, probably studying my facial reactions so I took a hold of myself. "Hmmm.. I wonder what it is.."
