Lessons From Romance

I come to You

"====="

Luhan couldn't understand. Ki Chan hadn't really clarified anything for him. He felt as if the man had just called him out to scorn him, blame him. Of course, he knew that Namjoo was hurt. She was very hurt.

He sat for a long hour in the coffee house just staring into space while customers walked in and out. He had once wondered how Namjoo was like when she was angry. Whether she used words or action. He still couldn't determine. Namjoo had acted so normal toward him, even taking back her sweater and the lunch box.

Lifting his eyes he skimmed them up the lunch box and wondered if Namjoo had enjoyed the food. Would she have eaten the food if she was angry?

There was something about Ki Chan's words that kept spinning around his mind. Compared to him, Ki Chan had known Namjoo longest. He'd seemed really distressed and upset. What if he was right about Namjoo being so absurdly mad that she was no longer herself? Would the lie have driven her to such an extent?

It had been his and Chae Yoon's relationship that had been kept under wraps. He would have expected Namjoo to get upset, but to get this mad...he couldn't figure it out. Unless there was something else he didn't know about. Something about Namjoo...

Luhan felt his eyes narrow when he finally recalled it; how Chae Yoon had pulled him up from his seat and dragged him down the hall that day. Something about it was suspicious. Why hadn't he caught on?

Chae Yoon obviously wouldn't have tried stopping him from breaking the news to Namjoo, but she had come that day out of all days he was with Namjoo. Luhan couldn't guess it. Only Chae Yoon knew why she had gone there that day and he had to find out why.

With curiosity burning his skin he snatched the lunch box and started home.

Luhan had debated about calling Chae Yoon, but the decision to make hadn't lasted very long. Chae Yoon invited herself over the very next morning with store bought food in a bag. Her bright smile twinkled back as she held it up for him to see and walked in. Luhan stiffly stared at the empty hall before closing the door.

"You're about to go to work?" She greeted. "Me too, so I bought some bread. Lets eat really quick like we used to."

Luhan stood from where he still was, in front of the door and watched her unpack the bagels. Urging himself to be patient he walked into the kitchen, grasped her wrist, and pulled her out.

"What are you doing?" Chae Yoon questioned.

Letting go of her he shifted to face her, "Tell me, Chae Yoon, that day; why'd you come?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Enough games," Luhan stared at her without a glint of amusement in his eyes to show her he meant it. "You know what I'm talking about."

He caught the corner of her lips snaring its way up, "Ah...that? Why are you asking about that now?"

"Are you going to answer me?"

"Are you that curious?"

Luhan simply stared.

"Ok, since it's already over I guess it's safe for you to know," Chae Yoon nodded.

His eyes swarmed over her anxiously.

"Namjoo said some very interesting things to me. It'd be a regret, so you should at least hear it." Chae Yoon recalled with a nod of her head. "She told me she likes you; even going as far as saying that she thinks you feel the same. How could I have let you hear that?"

Luhan felt his heart heavily hit his chest and his eyes crazily raced around the room. He could hear it in his head, Namjoo's voice all of a sudden.
