"You are pretty.."

"Why you so pretty today
Sooyoung ah?"

"Pretty... pretty... pretty she is just pretty. What do you want me to say?"

"Your crying face is pretty.."

"I can be a manly guy too, Sooyoung ah. I want to try to become a romantic guy."

"By this time, I know what she wants for me. I'm telling you that girl is sly."

"I know what she is up to, so I just go along with it."

He is not a particularly expressive and romantic guy but in his own way... he said things from his heart and seeing her smile. Her smile and her expressive eyes make him feel all sorts of things.

But that was the old Yook Sungjae. 

The Yook Sungjae that was happy to fulfil his lover childlike wishes.

"Do I look pretty?"

"You look okay." He said nonchalantly. "What kind of flavor you want?"

"The usual."

Sungjae paused. He honestly does not know what her usual is.

"Ice coffee."

"oh is it really ice coffee? okay."

He was buying his coffee and ordering one for his girlfriend too. He was moving away from the counter when he heard a laughter that mirrors her. He ignored it. He walked to his table but then he saw her.

It was really her.

Park Sooyoung aka Joy of Red Velvet.

It seems like everything around him slow down as he walked passed by her, like the way they walked passed by their memories together. The memories he had forgotten one by one.

He held the cup of coffee in his hand tightly as his eyes linger at the sight of her... examining the look on her face. Her face that he had dearly missed seeing in reality, not just in pictures. But, a real one. She is really in front of him now.

They are now finally at the stage of their life on which, they have unrivalled fame.. but he is with someone else now.

Apparently so was she.

The pain he felt now was indescribable. Watching someone you once loved happy in another guy arms.

But there she was, oblivious to his stares as she was blowing her cup of coffee, crinkling her eyes sweetly to the man accompanying her. Her eyes were just like the way it was when she first met him. All crinkles and half-moon... beaming with pure joy.

The smile he had claimed that she did to attract him.. and a smile he clearly asked for her not to do at some other guys. 

The said guy was now ruffling her hair as she giggled in an adoring manner.

Being the fool that he was, he just stood there. Watching them. Mouth slightly agape as he took in the sight, torturing his inside slowly. Killing whatever soul left inside of him. He knows he should just act cool and walk away. Stop hurting himself and tear his eyes away from them.

Out of all the sights, why must he see
this.

Her with some other guy. Why..

Park Sooyoung then took a few steps front before her expressions totally turn like she had seen a horror movie. Her jaw almost dropped as she halted her steps.
