UNNOTICED: True Beauty Fanfiction

CHAPTER 19

Suho got back to his place from walking Jugyeong and checked his phone. His brows drew closer when he saw how many missed calls he has of Hana.

"What did she want?"

He unlocked his phone and saw her message.

"What's wrong?" he sent.

He waited a little longer but when she didn't respond, he tried calling her. But unfortunately, she didn't pick it up either.

Suho thought about not disturbing Hana any longer thinking she might've fallen asleep through the rain.

Deeper in the night, Suho thought of texting Jugyeong.

"Jugyeong, are you asleep?"

"What is it to you?"

"Huh?" he was surprised at her response, he stared at it for a while longer and thought she must be tired, "Never mind. Goodnight." he texted back.

As he cleans up his place, he remembered about Hana's message for him and find it odd that it took her so long to text back.

Worried about what could happen, he decided to call her again.

While at the cafe, Hana played with the straw of her drink, looking directly at Seojun but the latter couldn't speak while she's looking at him like that, intensely.

"I just wanted to apologize," he said while he looked at the other way, his eyebrows met, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Apologize?" she asked, taking her phone from her pocket and started playing with it to divert her attention from the suffocating feeling in her chest.

"From what I said before..." he sighed, "about Seyeon."

Her phone screen lit up, revealing Suho's name. Calling her. She forgot she placed her phone on silent.

"Huh?" she said and accepted the call, not hearing what Seojun said.

"Suho?" she answered.

Seojun immediately looked at her face hearing Suho's name.

'Why would Suho call her?'

"Hey, sorry I missed your call a while ago."

"It's okay, there was just something I wanted to ask," she said.

"Are you okay?" Suho asked.

Seojun cleared his throat trying to assert his presence in front of Hana.

Hana took a glance at Seojun before answering Suho, "Of course, don't worry."

But her response hinted Suho there's something wrong. And as much as he hates to admit, he's the only one person Hana could talk to about what's going on with her since the day he saw her at the clinic.

"Okay, are you at your place?"

"No, I'm at the coffee shop near S.T. Why?"

Suho thought if he'll tell her he's coming, she might run away so he decided to not tell her the truth, "nothing. Take care."

"Mm," she hummed, "I will."

As the call ended, Seojun was so mad, his eyes were intense as it pierced right through Hana.

"Seojun?" she said.

"Since when did you and Suho became close?"

"Why?"

"He told me a few days ago you don't know each other that well," he crossed his arms and leaned on the table.

"We don't," she said.

"But why would he call you? And, you two seem to be so comfortable with each other from what I heard."

Hana took this opportunity to lighten up the mood, "jealous?" she grinned with her joke.

His eyes grew wide and clenched his teeth, "I'm not!"

It might have worsened, she decided to play it cool, "If you say so," she shrugged and sipped through her drink.

Seojun looked at Hana who's scrolling down her phone and her other hand is wrapped around her iced latte.

His eyes are on his beverage, he tapped his fingers on the table, "Hana," he said softly but enough for her to hear him.

She hummed a response.

"I'm really sorry,"

Hana looked at him for a moment before placing her phone back in her pocket. She sighed.

"No,"

Seojun raised an eyebrow.

"I should be the one apologizing, not you, Haseo."

His eyes widen before closing them gently and look back at Hana. He smiled. She remembered what she used to call him.

"You didn't do anything, I shouldn't have blamed you from what happened."

Hana remained silent.

Seojun looked down on the table as he speaks, "I just didn't know what to do I ended up blaming both you and Suho. I tried saving myself from the guilt and pain that it didn't occur to me that I am hurting you."

Hana stood up and leaned on the table, having her left arm support her weight, "Seojun."

He looked up and met her face.

"We're okay now," she smiled before flicking his forehead.

Seojun frowned and jokingly slap her hand away from him, "What was the for?"

"Payback," she grinned and got back on her seat.

"Also," she said.

Seojun propped his arm on the table, supporting his cheek using his fist.

"What the hell are you thinking, coming here despite the weather, huh?!"

"Uh," he gulped and moved back a little deep into his seat, "sorry."

"You know you get sickly when you get soaked with rain," she scolded him.

"We just reconciled and this is the first thing you do?"

"Because you're so careless, geez." she scoffed and took another sip with her drink.

"Hana,"

Seojun's  brows drew closer as he squinted his eyes at the person before them, calling Hana.

"Suho," he said.
