Book 2: The Seventeen Heirs Series; Jeon Wonwoo (SEVENTEEN FANFIC)

33: VAIN

"What do you plan to do now?"

Leanne just toyed with her coffee and puffed a breath. She feels tired – no, she was tired. Energy was draining fast outside her body these days and everything just seemed dull and colorless for her.

"A?" Sey Chelle called and touched her arm which dragged her attention back to her.

"Hmm?"

"I was asking you if you have decided already."

Leanne groaned and massaged her temple. Her head hurts. She can't catch any sleep last night due to thinking of so many things. She doesn't know what to do anymore.

"A, you know you have to decide soon. You don't have much time." Sey Chelle said.

Her fingernails dug on her skin as she remembered that the conference of the series will take part soon. And she's off to show the Speed Chase sample, the project they had for LEGACY — the fruit of their team's hard work.

But looks like she can't see the revision Leo made. If ever she agrees to it, she will have to fly to London this weekend to vouch for her participation.

But . . .

Sey Chelle sighed. "Come on, A. What's holding you back?" The concern is in her voice. "Is it Wonwoo?"

She tried not to recoil from the pain. But dammit! Why his name does hurts?

"Are you still not okay?" Sey Chelle asked her again when she didn't speak.

She just shook her head. "We didn't talk. He doesn't want to talk to me."

She even tried to call him last night, but she immediately cut off the call because she knew she's going to be hurt when he would not answer the call. She knows he wouldn't answer her call.

She sighed and looked at Sey Chelle. "Honestly, I don't know what to do anymore, Sey."

Sey Chelle pursed her lips — a gesture she does when she's thinking deep.

"If you want my advice as your manager, of course I want you to do it and try. I have faith in your potential and it's a bummer if you can't show it to the world. Since we met, I knew you were bound to be a racer. You will make an excellent one. And you didn't disappoint."

Sey smiled. "But as your friend, I'd say follow what's in here." She pointed that part on her chest, where her heart lies. "I want you to listen to what it says. What may be your decision, I will always support you. Just as long as you're happy."

She clasped her hand. "But my advice won't matter if you know already know what you want. I know you, A. You already made your decision but the fear is so strong that you can't make yourself to say it. You're not really confused. You just have to be brave. It's your decision, A. You decide for your happiness."

Leanne stared at her because she realized how much she knew about her. And she was right at that point — she already made up her mind the moment Wonwoo made her cry.

"Why are you still not going home?"

Leanne's head rose up from the contract she was reading when she heard a voice only to see Ken standing on her doorway.

"Ken!"

"Overtime?" He asked when he got to her table. He looked at the paper she was holding.

"Not really." She said as she silently places the paper on the folder on her table. "I was just checking into something before leaving. How about you? What brings you here? You had a meeting with . . ." She pointed upwards instead.
