she's my past. you're my present || woo zico x ki heehyun

|| A Misunderstanding ||

"How have you been?" Seolhyun asked softly. She had decided to call Zico out to talk to him. After their breakup she believed there were things that they were left between them and it wasn't nice to leave it hanging.

"I'm great, actually." Zico answered. Things went better than he used to think, more positive, brighter.

"Was that you in DIA's waiting room the other day?" She hesitantly questioned as he let out a little sigh. She did see it.

"It was me. I'm dating DIA's Heehyun." Zico decided to speak the truth. He had no reason to hide.

"You know... I actually thought one day we would be back together. But you've moved on quicker than I thought." Seolhyun blurted out.

"And I actually thought I could never move on from you. But seeing her, stupidly loving someone who has never laid his eyes on her, reminds me of how stupid I was trying to show you my love and you just didn't show a sign of care. And I decided to learn to love her. And eventually, I'm in love with her." Zico casually spoke up, as if what happened between them had never meant that much.

"I'm sorry... I was too caught up with works and all the busy schedule. But it's too late to apologize, isn't it? I really hope you and her will last long. I wish all the best for you, oppa." She smiled apologetically. He had gone when she realized how important he was. Now she couldn't get him back.

Just when Zico thought things was going better in his life, the next morning, the news were flooded with him and Seolhyun being the center of attention. Dispatch had got pictures of him and Seolhyun yesterday.

*Ring* Suddenly his phone rang. It was Chaeyeon.

"Oppa, what was that I saw on the news today?!" Chaeyeon yelled through the phone.

"It's not what you think Chaeyeon. It's -" Zico tried to say something but she cut him off.

"Save that explanation for Heehyun when she comes back!"

"Wait, where is she?!" Zico started to freak out.

"I don't even know. She has gone since the crack of dawn and there is no way I can contact her. I blame it all on you." Chaeyeon angrily off the phone call.
Zico phoned Heehyun but she didn't pick up. He tried to message her but there was not even a sign of her reading the message.

"Jaehyo, you know Heehyun, can you call her? She hasn't picked up my phone call." Zico rushed to see Jaehyo. He took Jaehyo's phone and called Heehyun. Still no reply.

Heehyun wasn't only avoiding him, she was avoiding everyone. And he needed to see her so badly.

There had been no sign of Heehyun till now. It was like she just disappeared. Zico waited outside of her dorm. Sitting in his car, it felt like ages.

"Oppa, still no sign of Heehyun?" Chaeyeon came out of her dorm and approached him. She asked worriedly.

"No..." Zico shook his head.
Right then, they saw bright car headlights. Zico squinted his eyes and found the numbers on the registration plate to be Heehyun's car. He quickly came out of his car and stood in front of hers. Heehyun stopped her car and got out.

"Heehyun ah, where have you been? I was dead worried!" Chaeyeon ran towards her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry. My phone died. I was in Namwon." Namwon was her hometown, it was a two-hour drive from Namwon to Seoul so she usually drove there and back most of the time.

"At least leave a note! You just disappeared." Chaeyeon scolded.

"Sorry... Can I talk to Zico alone?" She insisted as Chaeyeon nodded and left.

"The news, it's... -" She cut him off.

"I told you that you should get Seolhyun back, didn't I? She is the only one that's truly important to you. Why didn't you listen to me?" She smiled bitterly. Her eyes wandered around, didn't have the courage to look at him.

"Was! She was the truly important one. Now, she's no longer. Seolhyun saw me in your waiting room the other day. And she asked to see me. So I came, to tell her I've moved on and everything between me and her is done." He said firmly.

Silence washed between them, this felt so awkward he just couldn't take it. He cupped her cheeks with his palms as she tried to back up but couldn't.

"My girlfriend is standing before me. And I will do anything to keep her with me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about meeting her. But please don't just disappear like that."

Heehyun started tearing up, which broke Zico's heart a little more. He made his girl cry.

"I was scared to face you. I thought somewhat you've forgotten about her. Then the news stated you were with her." She expressed, tears started to stream down her face as Zico hugged her. She buried her face in his chest, her tears wetted his shirt.

"You know what I have been telling myself since the day we started dating?" He whispered.

"What?"

"I told myself to never screw our relationship up. I take this more serious than anything else in this world." He stroke her hair gently, wiped away her tears with his thumb.

Then, to her surprise, he leaned in and locked their lips. Her eyes opened wide in surprise. Soon enough, she gave in. His mouth was warm, the soft caress of his lips were better than she could have imagined. His right hand brushed against her cheek, the other clasped around her waist. She was falling too deeply that she didn't know her arms had wrapped around his neck, leaving no space between them.

"Aren't we taking things too fast?" She broke the kiss for air, asking him breathlessly.

"You hate it?" He looked for her objection, starting to regret a little about his decision to kiss her.

"No." She shook he head to his question and shortly after they were in another sweet kiss...
