Sheila's Kwon

5: Heartbreaker

SHEILA didn't call him for lunch and so he decided that it would be best if he went to the dinning area. He found her there, serving the lemonade to the lola club as he candidly called them. They were eating seafood and he held his stomach when it started to grumble from hunger. Sheila looked up from listening to something Lola Tanya said and she looked shocked to see him.

"Omo! I'm sorry I forgot to call you for lunch. My mom is going to kill me..." she groaned.

He shook his head. "It's okay. I would just join them, this looks like a feast." He sat down after tying Gaho's leash on an empty chair. Sheila took out some china and set things up for him. She was flustered then disappeared into the kitchen, leaving him with the ladies.

"So, when are you going to make a move on our Sheila?" Lola Imelda had become more chatty since she found out that they were on pretty much the same boat. The broken-hearted express is more like it.

"A-aniyo! She's my mom's friend's daughter!" the ladies laughed harder when he started to stutter. Sheila had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing. She had five cupids, perhaps they are her fairygrandmothers.

BLUSHING profusely, Jiyong sat down and tried to pour tea for himself. But Lola Tanya was already placing a cup in front of him and smiling, "Don't worry about them, they are just worried about Sheila. She never tells us who this man she is in love with really is. He is like some mystery man. Whenever we ask her mother about it, she just sighes and says that her daughter is a hopeless romantic who is dreaming of some prince who would never come."

He stopped in mid-sip when he heard the term prince. He was not the kind who thought women still looked for a man who would be a prince instead of a partner. He had thought that it would be best to keep the sweeping of a girl's feet as the Seunghyuns department. TOP, the older Seung Hyun hyung (older brother) and Seungri the Seung Hyun maknae (youngest) were always unconsciously battling it out as for who gets more girls. Taeyang was worse off than Daesung because the latter always gets friend zone'd while Taeyang can't even talk to a girl UNLESS it's about music. And some girls just find that a bit too monotonous. He was around such independent women but then again he was in another place, another country. Maybe Sheila was raised to believe in fairytales. His however, were shattered a long time ago. For he was King Arthur and his Geneviere was actually in love with their Lancelot.

"Maybe she is just not ready for love." he said, taking a piece of bread and putting it in his mouth. Chewing slowly was a habit that he didn't quite show other people. They always thought he was managing his image when he did that. He chewed slowly when he was thinking. That's about the only thing slow that he ever does except maybe waking up. He takes his merry time for both.

"That's you, dearie. Our Sheila just needs someone to show her that a living, breathing boyfriend trumps an imaginary one." Lola Helen was direct to the point and Jiyong felt the sting of her words. "If you know what I mean. No offense meant."

Jiyong waved his hand in front of his face and said it was okay. "I am sure that I would benefit from one as well. I should try to get my friends to hook me up again. Though it's hard to do now since they are all back in Korea."

"Then you should ask them to come over and talk to you." one of them mentioned. It made sense. And he was pretty sure that the guys would love to relax even just for a few days. But he didn't know if he wanted to share his new peace with them. He didn't know if he was ready to forgive Yongbae for what he and Dara did.
