I'm Not Her

Chapter 17

Sungjae and Sooyoung are spending their free time lazying around the boy's room. Sooyoung is seated in between his legs while Sungjae's chin is on her shoulder, watching something on the boy's phone.

"I didn't know you could sing too?" Sooyoung whispers, with blushing cheeks.

Sungjae kisses the girl's neck. "Changsub-hyung trained me even when we were in still in the orphanage."

"Ya, I'm ticklish." Sooyoung tries to hide her neck. "Doesn't things like this make you shy?"

"Why would this make me shy?" Sungjae kisses the girl's cheeks. "Can't I do this with my girlfriend?"

Sooyoung's thoughts unwillingly goes to the mystery ex-girlfriend of Sungjae. "Did you use to do this with you ex-girlfriend?"

Sungjae's body freezes up. "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

"Just... curious." Sooyoung lowers her head.

Sungjae sighs. "No, I didn't do these things with her. She... she's not comfortable with these kind of stuff."

"Oh.... Sungjae?" The boy answers with a hum. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." Sungjae whispers into her ear, making her shiver. "What is it?"

Sooyoung bites her lip, feeling nervous. "Back then, when you had a fever, I saw some torn up pictures. Who was it?"

Sungjae freezes yet again. "Nothing that should concern you." He lies.

"Somehow I think that, that's not true." Sooyoung frowns, turning around to face her boyfriend. "Is it her?

Sungjae sighs and gives up, knowing full well how tenacious his girlfriend is. "Yes. I didn't want to be remembered of her. She's a part of my past that I just want to forget."

Sooyoung pecks his lips. "You can't change the past Sungjae-ah. Getting to know her is what makes you who you are now. I', so sorry that she's gone but I'm happy to have known and love you."

"Where did you learn to speak like that?" Sungjae can't help but feel giddy at her words and cups her cheeks. "But I love you too."

Sungjae leans in and kisses Sooyoung fully on the lips. The girl's hands wraps around the boy's neck while his hands goes around her waist when suddenly, somebody knocks on the door immediately separating the couple from each other.

"Come in." Sungjae says as they return to their original position.

Changsub enters the room. "Hey you disgusting couple." He says as a form of greeting causing the girl to giggle. "The office had a raffle the other day; I won two tickets for the amusement park."

"Sooyoung's face lights up. "The amusement park?"

"Yeah." Changsub nods. "But since Charm is pregnant and I want her to take it slow, we can't go. I was thinking of maybe giving you two the tickets."
Sungjae looks at his girl. "What do you think? Shall we go have a date at the amusement park?"

Sooyoung nods enthusiastically. "I wanna go!"

"Oh, also, I'm going to the orphanage today with Charm." Changsub informs them.

"We'll join you guys then." Sungjae carefully unwraps himself off the girl.

Sooyoung then gets her phone. "I'm gonna call my brother. They've been itching to visit."

It's the first time Sungjae and Sooyoung are going back to the orphanage as a couple. It's also the first time that everyone would be there, including Changsub's wife, Charm and Sooyoung's big brother and sister, Chanyeol and Wendy.
