How To Make Him Fall

2

Turns out Mrs. Park isn't someone that is easy to be convinced that Seungwan just wants to be alone and tries to tidies up her messed heart and mind.

No.

She insists that Seungwan needs to join that family's dinner time.

"So, how are your parents?" Park Yura, the eldest of that Park siblings, asks. She still looks the same, as far as Seungwan can recall. She is still that beautiful, graceful, and tender. Her beauty is contrast to what Sooyoung has; Sooyoung is like radiant sunshine while Yura is like soft white cotton. Jongdae also follows the dinner and Seungwan can see that he is very close to the family. Nine years are long time, so it is quite acceptable that Seungwan doesn't seem to remember seeing Jongdae before this day.

"They are fine and they said their hello to all of you, Park Yura-sshi."

She laughs.

"Oh, come on. We are neighbors. You can call me unnie if that's okay with you." Seungwan nods and keeps eating, as she doesn't want her stare is struck with Chanyeol's. Mrs. Park, unknowingly, as Seungwan thinks, sets the table so that Seungwan sits in front of Chanyeol.

She curses herself in her heart.

Chanyeol is still fine and alright while she is panicked over nothing. Where is her braveness that she gathered at the airplane? It just poofed with the air once she saw the true form of adult Park Chanyeol.

"Yura-sshi--I mean, Yura unnie, I heard that you would get married. Congratulations, unnie."

"Thank you. He will come here tomorrow; maybe you can meet him tomorrow. He must be happy to see you too."

"Uh, okay..." Why would he be happy to see me?

"Mom," Chanyeol speaks and Seungwan, for milimeter second, loses her breath, "Sehun will come here tomorrow too."

"Oh, is that so?" Who is Sehun? Probably he is his friend that I don't even know. Geez, Seungwan, how little you know about him!

"You should hang out more with girls, Chanyeol-ah, now that Yura will get married, you are the next in line," Mr. Park, who later joined the welcome party, speaks. Sooyoung giggles and Seungwan feels like there is a stone on her throat. This means...he is single, right?

Chanyeol just hums and shrugs his shoulders, "I will tell to you Dad, if I have a girlfriend."

"It's better to be faster. Sooyoung suddenly can bring a guy before you bring a girl."

"Dad! I am still young!" Sooyoung protests and everyone laughs, excluding Seungwan, who tries to get rid of the 'stone' by drinking.

"Oh, what is about you, Seungwan-sshi? Do you have any boyfriend?"

"SPROUT!!!"

"Seungwan-sshi, are you okay?"

"Seungwan unnie!"

Seungwan just sprouted her drink all over her plate and it looks like reaching Chanyeol's too (that also means the food between them is victim too). He even got further a bit after the incident.

She can't do anything other than awkwardly smiles.

Why? WHY?????

"She must be surprised to be asked something that personal," Jongdae gives reason. He also, kindly, gives her handkerchief. She bows repeatedly to show her gesture to him, and he replies it with genuine smile. Different from Jongdae, Chanyol just frowns. Not angry or disgustedly sending stares, just frowns, "or that means she is single."
