UNNOTICED: True Beauty Fanfiction

CHAPTER 20

Suho ignored Seojun and sat down beside Hana.

"I didn't know you were with him," he said as soon as he sat down.

"Why did you come?" she asked.

"I got worried, you left a bunch of missed calls on my phone and a message and when you picked up after trying to reach to you for a couple of times, I thought something must be wrong."

He looked at Seojun before closing his eyes gently and then shifted to the right a little to face Hana, "especially the thing about this café you mentioned to me before,"

Hana chuckled sheepishly, "sorry about that."

She moved to face Seojun, "I called because I was meeting him," she said.

"Or should I say, he wanted to meet up with me."

"I see you two have made up," Suho said, "We should go home now, Hana," he stood up.

"What are you, her babysitter?" Seojun said irritatingly.

Hana shook her head, amused with his behavior.

"I am not but she needs to rest early, there's somewhere we need to go to," Suho stood right there, waiting for Hana.

"Oh," she said, "I forgot!" she stood right away and picked up her wallet.

"Hm," Seojun said as he stood up, "let's go."

The trio walked out of the coffee shop when the rain started pouring again.

"Shoot, there's three of us," Hana said.

"You can share with Seojun, he gets sick easily in the rain."

Seojun's brows met once again and put his hood up. He glared towards the rain and started walking ahead of the two.

"Hey, Seojun," Suho called.

"Don't mind me, share with her."

Hana sighed, "still stubborn," she commented.

"Let's go."

Suho took the umbrella from her and opened it. He stepped into the rain with the umbrella above his head, "come on."

Hana stepped in and they started walking, following Seojun who's far up ahead of them.

It was quiet as they walked. Only the sound of rain dropping on the concretes and at the top of the buildings, the feet of the people splashing as they walk through the rain can be heard.

"He likes you, you know?" Suho said out of the blue, breaking the silence.

"No he doesn't," she said, "he likes someone else," she said.

She's seen him a couple of times hanging out with Jugyeong, and Sua also thought Seojun must like her. He keeps following her around, always breaking jokes with her, always by her side, always laughing with her.

While her on the other hand, remains unnoticed until he discovered who she really is. He didn't even remember her the first time their paths crossed.

"If you're right, who is it?" he asked.

Hana's face reddens, remembering she can't mention to Suho about Jugyeong and Seojun's closeness. She can see Suho is interested in her and she doesn't want him to think that Jugyeong is interested in Seojun to consider giving up.

"I don't know but..." she said, sighing, "I know for sure he doesn't feel that way towards me."

"Hey," he patted her head, "don't put yourself down."

But Seojun on the other hand, arrived inside the subway, having him shake his hair to dry a bit before turning back and looking at his friends who are behind him. But he witnessed Suho putting his hand on top of Hana's head. And seeing her blush irritates him furthermore. But he doesn't want his newly repaired friendship with the two get damaged again so he chose to shrug it off and play cool.

"Tsk," he said when they caught up, "you guys are so slow."

"When you get home," Hana spoke, "please change into warm clothes and take a shower."

Seojun sighed, scratching his nape as he turned the other way.

"And don't forget to dry your hair completely before going to bed," she nagged again.

"Alright, alright, geez!"

Suho smiled and let the two of them walk ahead of him. He has never seen this side of Seojun for the years that they've been friends. He's always aloof with girls, intimidating them, and only focus on taking care of Gowoon. But now, it changed. He's certainly trying to catch Hana's attention but in a bad way. Suho noticed his friend is bad at trying to take the girl into his life so he's decided to help him push Hana into him.

Hana let out a sigh as she sloppily took her shoes off and entered her dark apartment. She didn't bother opening the lights when a clap of thunder strikes and thought she saw a figure right next to the balcony and screamed.

On the other hand, Suho was about to knock at Hana's slightly open apartment door. He forgot to hand her back the umbrella and since they live in the same building, he decided to just hand it to her immediately before he forgot.

He opened the door and found Hana with both of her hands feeling her heartbeat and tried reaching for the switch and before she could, a pair of fingers switched it up and she cupped his hand causing her to jump in fright.

"Hey, it's just me!" he said.

"OhmyGod," she said, trying to breathe normally, "I thought you're some kind of ghost!"

He smiled, and his smile turns to laugh.

"What are you laughing about?!" she said, frowning.

"For someone who loves horror, you get scared easily."

"Well, you're the one to talk, huh?" she teased, she felt a little better now.

"Tss," he said, "I'll head home now. I just wanted to return the umbrella."

Hana laughed, "sure, scaredy-cat."

"Cut it out!" Suho said, smiling.

"Huh, Hana?" a familiar, feminine voice said.

Their smiles faded, and slowly Suho and Hana looked at the person by the door but to their surprise, it's not only Eunji who they met, Sua, Chaerin and Jugyeong was also beside her.

"What are you doing here, Suho?" Eunji asked.

The two looked at each other like they've been caught doing a crime.

Hana doesn't want them to find out because of Jugyeong, they knew she likes Suho and her closeness and friendship to Suho might lead them to conclusions. And as for Suho, he simply likes Jugyeong and she might take it the wrong way.

"Hana," Eunji looked at her confusedly.
