Crush

Silence

Author's P.O.V

It's been two weeks since Hye Yeon's heart broken by the news. The wound it left is too deep but Hye Yeon tried her best to keep calm and continue her everyday life as usual. Except, she's now avoiding Seok Jin. She don't want to add salt to her wound. It hurts too much.

Seul Ji and Na Ra were worried by her behaviour. They still remember the day they came to visit Hye Yeon, her face was a mess. Swollen eyes, puffy cheek and nonstop tears..

************************************

A day after the news..

Seul Ji and Na Ra decide to visit Hye Yeon. Min Joo want to join them but Seul Ji knows it will makes Hye Yeon suffer even more, so she ask Min Joo to not come with them and promised to tell her if anything happens.

Seul Ji calls Hye Yeon, but there's no answer. So, they just come to Hye Yeon's house. The door and windows are closed but Hye Yeon's car parked in the garage. Na Ra try to open the door and to their surprise, it's unlocked so they enter the house.

"Yeonnie! Are you in here?" No response. They started to get worried, thinking what if Hye Yeon do something stupid.

"C'mon, let's go to her room." Seul Ji and Na Ra head upstairs to Hye Yeon's bedroom.

When they reach the room, they saw Hye Yeon lie down on the bed, covered in her blanket. They could heard her sniffle. Their worry lessen a bit.

"Why did you guys come here?" Hye Yeon peek out from the blanket and speaks up in hoarse voice. The girls immediately runs to her and hug the broken figure. Tears streaming down her cheeks again. Hye Yeon hates being seen this weak by people she loved. Seul Ji and Na Ra also crying, watching this woman being broken hearted from her first love.

"Mianhae Yeon-ah.." Seul Ji speaks, break the silent atmosphere.

"For what?" Hye Yeon ask between sobs.

"For not being with you when he told you that." Na Ra tighten her hugs on Hye Yeon.

"Pabo-yaa.. It's not your fault. It's me who fall in love with him.."

"Where's Min Joo? Why don't she join you guys?" Now that she feel calm a bit, Hye Yeon ask Seul Ji as she don't see Min Joo anywhere.

"Aisshhh this silly girl.. We don't want to make you even sadder. That's why we don't bring her along." Says Na Ra.

"Are you worry that I'll suddenly go berserk if I saw her? Aigoo.. I'm not that stupid you know? It's just, I wanna congratulate her for being Jinnie's other half. Yeahh, I am hurt, I am sad and broken hearted but, if Min Joo is the one he loves, I won't have any complaint. She's perfect for him. They.."

Hye Yeon stops for a bit and taking a sips of mushrooms soup made by Na Ra since she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday before continue her words.

"..are meant for each other. I can see how happy Jinnie is. So, who cares about one or two broken hearts? They'll heal eventually!" Hye Yeon smiles at her besties, try to convince them that she's okay. Honestly, deep down in her heart, she feel kind of relieved when Seok Jin chose Min Joo as his lover. But, to get over her dissapointment and frust, it might take some times. And seeing Seok Jin for now is not the best option.

"I'm sorry for making you worry about me. Just give me some time and I'll be fine. About Min Joo, I guess I'll meet her some time later." Hye Yeon put some ice on her swollen eyes. She wince a bit as the coldness touch her skin.

"We'll be there for you." Seul Ji pour warm milk in Hye Yeon's cup and handed it to her. Hye Yeon drink it slowly.

"Thanks. That's why I love you guys."

************************************

Two days later, Hye Yeon meet Min Joo and of course accompanied by Seul Ji and Na Ra.

"I'm sorry Yeonnie. I know how do you feel about Seok Jin but still, I fall for him." Min Joo explains in tears. She feel guilty and she apologize to Hye Yeon non-stop.

"Min Joo-ah.. How many times I should tell you that I'm fine already? Aish this girl!" Hye Yeon hugs Min Joo tightly.

"Then.. It's really okay for me to be with Jinnie?" Min Joo ask for the tenth time. Hye Yeon just nodded.

"I have no rights to deny your feelings towards each other. I do hurts, Min Joo-ah. But, what can I do? I can only pray for your happiness. And, I hope you can make him happy. One warning though, to date an idol is not an easy path. You have to be patience and just support him. And of course, you have to share him with the ARMY. Don't be jealous if he spends more time with them than you."

"Yeonnie.."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you so much!" Min Joo hugs Hye Yeon again. She truly grateful to have Hye Yeon as her bestfriend.

"It's okay. Your most welcome, Choi Min Joo-ssi. Oh, and promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"Never tell Jinnie about this. I don't want to burden him with my feelings."

"But.."

"Promise me!" Hye Yeon take out her little finger. Min Joo sigh and intertwine her little finger too.

"I promise.."

Seok Jin's P.O.V

It's been two weeks since I told Hye Yeon about my relationship with Min Joo. And since then, I don't hear any words from her. Is she really okay? She's not sick right? I stare my smartphone for a long time until Jimin come and tap my shoulder.

"Whooaa, hyung. Your phone gonna have a hole on it if you stare to it that long. What happen?" Jimin ask me, concern.

"Nahh, just thinking either I should report it to police or not." I talk in a serious tone making Jimin shocked.

"Ehhh? What happened? Who robbed you? Whenn? Come, we should go now! Nam Joonie hyung! Su-" I covered his mouth with my hand to shut him down.

"Aishhh! Calm down. No one was being robbed, you silly boy! Just Yeonnie noona hasn't contact me for two weeks already. I'm worried you know?" I speak up my mind.

"Maybe she was too busy? Who knows?" Jimin state his opinion. Then, suddenly, Nam Joon stormed into my room, nearly break the door. Yeap, our destruction God nearly done his work again.

"Whatt? What happen? Why Jimin scream my name just now??" Nam Joon talking, breathless. I only facepalm watching the panic Nam Joon.

"False alarm, Nam Joonie." I speak as I walk outside. Both of them look each other in confussion but Nam Joon still follow me.

"Are you okay hyung? Do you have any problem? You better settle it before our tour so it won't bother you later." Nam Joon ask me when we arrived at the balcony. I know he was worried over me. I lean on the wall and cross my arms. I let out a sigh and stare at him.

"I know. Don't worry. I'll settle it soon." I assure him. But, there's something that I don't know and he knows it.
