Loving Miss Hwang

Chapter 17

NICKHUN

A loud music, blinding neon lights and the wild dancing people welcomed me when I entered the bar. I saw some familiar faces whose calling and waving at me, while I just nod my head to greet them back. My eyes roam around the bar, searching for that guy, and there he is, sitting alone in the counter sipping his tequila silently.

I went to his place and sited beside him. I motion the bar tender to give me some of this guy drink and he gladly obliged.

"So? What's with this meet & greet?"

He never wasted time to look at me, he just shrugged his shoulder and drink another shot. I let him silent for a while and took a shot too.

"I know you love her"

He said after awhile. I'm not surprise for this, I know he wanted to see me for this.

"So?"

He face me with a blank stare. He look at me intently. Like trying to fuse a war with me through staring. But he suddenly withdraw and heave a sigh and face his shot.

"I'll help you to win her back. That's the only thing I can make for her to be totally happy"

I almost spit the liquor in my mouth when I heard Luhan. He turned to me seriously, I cleared my throat.

"Why would you do that? This is not what I'm expecting on this meeting"

I wasn't expecting this one. What runs on my mind when I got here is some kind of bloody fist. Not this one! He shrugged and take his shot again.

"I already doing you a big favor. Don't you like it?"

"Exchange of what?"

"Nothing. Oh." He paused. " In exchange of not hurting her again. Love her the way she deserve"

A sting of bitterness and pain is evident in his voice. I suddenly felt guilty about Luhan. Because of me his suffering from the pain cause by a heartbreak made by me. Luhan, though we've been enemy on past years, I know his still the same Luhan before everything between us change. Before our friendship is ruined and stained by hatred. Up until now his the same Luhan's whose willingly give everything up for the sake of someone's happiness.

"Deal"

I agreed and he smirk at me. Tossed his glass in the air.

"Welcome back...best friend"

"Yeah. Welcome"

The rest of our night was spent by laughing. It's like the old us suddenly came back. I'm glad about it. I never thought this time will ever come. That he and me will be best friend again. And I kinda admit I miss this.

"You never really fall for my sister. Aren't you?"

Suddenly Luhan asked. He look at me with I-know-you look. I sigh and take the shot.

"I felt guilty. I like her, yes. That's just it. She's my girl best friend. And she's your sister. But I felt guilty when I turned her down at those times when she asked for my help. I don't know what help she needed. She never told me. The last time she's so desperate for my help but never told me what for. So, I ignored it. Until I heard the news that she already dead. I regretted not helping her. I blame my self. And when I learned about whats happening on her before he died. Hatred ate me, and without even thinking straight and knowing everything, every single detail I formed a plan."

I look at him and laugh bitterly. He nod his head like he already knows whats next.

"I have my share of guilt and fault too Nich. I was there when it happened. But I still help you to that plan. I know Tiffany was innocent but I can't accepted losing a sister that time. I saw how Tiffany tried to help Sica. I saw how she plead Sica not to kill herself. But she ignore Tiffany and jump off. I was lost to the thought of losing my sister. But then I realized she's damn innocent and don't deserved everything that's happening to her because of me. Us. That why I.."
