Losing Sight Of You ❦ Seonghwa

6 | Old Wounds

Her legs pained her as she sat on the bleachers and watched her classmates doing the sports event. It had been a year, but her legs still hadn't healed fully yet, and that meant she had to do as little exercise as possible. 

Honestly, she didn't mind, and she was quite happy to just sit and watch.

Halfway through the event, an extra shadow joined her own when someone sat beside her. Swivelling her eyes to the side, she could somewhat make out Seonghwa's profile.

Why had he sat beside her? Her heart jumped in her chest, and her breath quickened. 

She clenched her sweaty palms at her sides, and then greeted him with a sunny smile, even though internally she was screaming.

"You're Jae's sister, right?" he looked so innocent as he asked the question.

Like back then, he did not understand how much enmity there was between the two sisters. Ali had tried hard to keep that part of her life away from him, but clearly, that was something she could no longer do. Her sister had finally gotten what she wanted, and her claws were now dug deep into Seonghwa.

Ali was torn between warning him about her sister or just letting it all go and moving on. But would moving on be fair to Seonghwa?

To let him continue being engaged to the devil's daughter, without the knowledge of her causing the accident, or telling him and letting him live out the rest of his life as he deserved. Happily and without worries.

Ali stood up and made to go down the bleachers. Her head felt like it was about to split open with the number of thoughts she had running through it, and whilst she wasn't paying attention, she missed a step. Before she could fall, however, she felt strong arms wrap around her back and they held her in place.

Ali looked up at Seonghwa's face, which was so close that she could see every handsome detail, and both of their breaths caught in their throats as they locked eyes.

"What's going on here?" A shrill voice popped their little intimate bubble.
