Troublemakers

Chapter 18

Yunhyeong's POV

I looked at myself in the mirror as I checked to see I was looking well before getting out of my house to the date with Chanwoo.

He reserved us both a place in a really good restaurant.  

Ever since he apologized he really was trying hard to show me how much he cares for me, he was nice and started building my trust in him.

As of now, no one from the groups of the troublemakers really bothered us.
Junhoe kind of...disappeared since his Halloween party. I mean, he still showed up at school but we rarely saw him.
Minho almost didn’t bother us as well since his friends seemed to stop too.

I liked the peace and quiet we were getting, but it felt kind of...weird.

“And what are you doing going out looking so handsome?” I heard my mom's voice.

“I.. I'm meeting with Chanwoo for dinner.” I said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

It's not easy hiding the fact I really like this guy. I want to trust him, but I can't do that so easily. Even if for now, he didn't give me a reason not to trust him yet. He really was nice to me when we were on set, the time went by a lot faster while I was enjoying it with him instead of getting angry at him every two minutes.

She walked to my direction and fixed my hair as she smiled at me.

“Don't be out too late, okay?”

I nodded and hugged her before taking my phone and keys and getting out of the house.

I tried to be quiet, looking at the direction of Donghyuk's place before carefully walking to the elevators.

I got a message from Chanwoo saying that he's on his way and replied that I'll be there soon too.

When I got to the ground floor I called for a taxi and waited for it to arrive, feeling nervous again.

I shouldn't be. It's just Chanwoo…

“Yunhyeongie.” Chanwoo smiled at me as I walked inside the restaurant. He reserved a private booth for both of us.

I can understand why. We both wanted our privacy without people or cameras in our faces.

“Hey, Chanwoo.” I smiled lightly, walking towards him. “I hope I didn't make you wait for too long.”

“Of course not.” Chanwoo shook his head and held my hand once I sat down in front of him. I looked at our hands before looking at him, seeing he was still smiling.

Chanwoo must really mean it when he said he wants to fix the relationship between us.

But I couldn't help but still wonder why the sudden change. Was it because of the drama? Because I passed out one time?

“Why?” I decided to ask him.

“Why what?”

“Why the sudden change? For three years you ignored me, made fun of me, abused me and now you're trying to fix our relationship all of sudden. Why?”

Chanwoo looked at our hands, slowly brushing this thumb over the back of my hand.

“I… I meant what I said in the interview.” He spoke, “playing this character really does make me look at some mistakes I did. One of them was pushing you away. We didn't go to the same school until four years ago, and while being in my other one I've got to hang with the wrong people, but I did consider them my friends. That's exactly the reason I get along with Minho and the others. When I saw you, I wasn't sure how to approach you, I was both nervous and worried. So… I took the wrong approach and I'm really sorry, Yunhyeong. You didn't deserve any of that.”
