The Thing About Surprises

"Life is full of surprises, but the biggest one of all is learning what it takes to handle them."-Deborah Wiles

Lee Soojung could be in her warm bedroom in her cozy bed, snuggle up to the teddy bear she pretends she hasn't slept with since she was twelve, but instead she is seated across from Namjoon in a cafe at seven p.m.

Namjoon takes a sip of his strawberry smoothie before he speaks, "I have something to tell you."

"About Soyul?"

"About Soyul," Namjoon says taking a sip of his smoothie, "She i-."

Soojung cuts him off, "She is your girlfriend. I know." Reaching into her black messenger bag, she takes out a letter and slides it over to him, "You left that at my house. I suggest you stop carrying it around with you."

Grabbing the letter, Namjoon looks up at her, "I see that you read it."

"I was curious," Soojung shrugs

"Have you heard of privacy?" He sounds almost angry.

"Sorry," She says but she isn't all that sorry. "Are we done?" She grabs her bag and stand up.

"You don't want to know anything about her?" Namjoon stand up as well.

"No Joon, I don't want to know about the girl you are in love with." Soojung turns on her heels and walks out, the chimes on the door ringing behind her.

Namjoon slams a twenty on the table and runs after her. When he sees her, he catches up to her and grabs her hand. "What is your problem?"

"I have no clue as to what you mean?" She stares at her shoes, trying to ignore the chills running through her body when he held her hands, "I know about Soyul and you are in love with her. I understand."

"Come on Soojung," He says letting go of her hand, "I just want your support."

Soojung turns away from him, wipes at her eyes, and says "If you wanted my support you should have told me sooner."

Watching her walk away, Namjoon wonders why it hurts so much to see her go further and further away from him when she has always been there for him.

Nothing like a heartbreak at seven in the morning. Nothing like a heartbreak in the form of a girl walking out of the room belonging to the boy you have been in love for almost three years, in nothing but his sweater.

Myungeun is frozen when she sees her, tall, beautiful with her hair in a lazy bun as she walks out of Seokjin's room.

Myungeun knows who she is. She knows her, not personally but she knows of her.

Because who doesn't know Kim Soojung, South Korea's It Girl Actress with the million of fanboys and fangirls. The same girl rumour to be dating Kim Seokjin. The same girl dressed in the sweater Myungeun bought for Seokjin's birthday last year.

"Good morning," Soojung breaks the stare off, "Are you Jiyeon?"

Myungeun doesn't speak a word, she just shakes her head afraid that if she does speak she could and would break down.

"Soojung, did you find the bathroom," Seokjin voice says before appearing out of his room. "Oh, good morning Myungeun."
"I forgot about the bathroom," Soojung says, planting a quick kiss on his cheek as he continues to stare at Myungeun, "I thought she was your sister."

Seokjin smiles, "Nope. Jiyeon is much shorter, but I guess Myungeun is like my sister."
"Nice to meet you," Soojung smiles.

"Likewise." Myungeun smiles back.
