[long hiatus] Not Like Other Guy「Moon Taeil」

5 - Sincere and Pure

MyungJu's pov

Taeil last sentence kinda hit me right. He is true I don't even know him until today. What a jerk of me for not noticing people.

"What about you try now" I tell him to request me now.

Taeil typing something on his phone, maybe my username

In a second I receive a notification.

@moon_taeil have requested to follow you.

I quickly tap the accept button and follow him back. "Now, it is easier for us to communicate, right?"

He smiled. Can't deny that his smiles are cute.

He spam me with likes. He literally like all of my photos in my account containing like 65 posts.

"I am really happy that you accept me. I am not even proposing yet"

"Ppfft" My milk coffee almost got out through my nose but I manage to control it. "You are so full of yourself eh, Moon Taeil?"

He laughed.

"Anyway, the reason I wrote a letter instead dm you because the feels and emotions that was pour into writing a letter was more sincere and pure to me"

I was stoned for a while. This just mean that the letter was real even though he had mention that his feeling is not a lie but hearing him saying that make me, idk.

"Anyway, what do you say, this Sunday? Will you spend your time with me? I don't mind if you got other plans with your friends, just wanted to know if you-"

"I'm not going"

I cut him off even before he finish. I could see his expressions change but I wanted to stay away from this. I don't want to fall for this trap called love. I have seen people around me experiencing it. At first, it was all fun and games, being cuddly and all but until you started hoping, it was hell. Promises was broken, faith is no longer there and everything is going wrong. The heart and soul was in pain.

I really saw this a lot on my high school's and diploma's days, one of my high school friend killed herself after her break up. Her boyfriend cheated on her after 2 years relationship and she was under great depression. I regretted that I couldn't help her and that's where I started aiming to be a psychologist.

That wasn't simply it. I experienced it once, it was not that tragic but it wastes my time. My grade dropped badly, I got scold by my parent and teachers a lot as they put hope on me and I don't even ask for it.

I guessed it is better if I wait for someone who really want to have me for the rest of his life rather than playing around gaining nothing. Someone who is not like other guy. Someone who will stay for me.

Moon Taeil? I just met him few minutes ago. I don't know nothing about him except he do origami and sings very well. That's all.

"W-why?" he ask. This guy is a bit over emotional, I can see his eye got watery and he quickly wipe it. "I-I thought you will go out with me? I swear I will make your time worth it!" his voice increase slightly louder that make me flinch.

Taeil's pov

I am really about to cry. I don't hear her reason yet but I am sure she is not busy that day and so WHY? I feel bad that I almost shout at her, now she gonna hate me more.

"Taeil, I am sorry. There isn't any particular reason that I couldn't go, it just..." she stop for a moment. I patiently wait for her to continue. "We just met and we didn't know each other very well yet"

"MyungJu, that just make all the reason why we should go out this Sunday. We could get to know each other more, please"

MyungJu, can't you see I'm desperate for you.

"You sound so desperate" YES, I am. Everything about you make me so desperate.

"That was a turn off"

FFFF-. Wrong moves. I wanna kill myself.

Narrator's pov

"That was a turn off" MyungJu said it spontaneusly.

The sound of chair screeching was heard. MyungJu is on her feet, holding her milk coffee. She took out her money and put it on the table.

"If we go out, people will thought us as dating and was into each other. I am not into you and getting to know each other by have a date... is not my way. I prefer if we start as a friend" MyungJu didn't look at Taeil while speaking instead her eye was focused to the person two table beside them.

Taeil who was curious of whom did MyungJu look, also turn his head to the way MyungJu was looking.

MyungJu sighing,"Only if people mind their own business"

And just like that MyungJu was out of Taeil sight.

It was hard to write Taeil in agony because he is a funny and weird guy, lol
