UNNOTICED: True Beauty Fanfiction

CHAPTER 24

Inside a restaurant, the cousins, Hana and Eunji decided to meet up to talk about what happened. Eunji felt bad for yelling at her in public, for letting her emotions take over.

"I'm really sorry, Hana," she said, frowning in front of her cousin.

But Hana snorted and chuckled at her.

"What's that for?" Eunji asked.

"You've been apologizing for probably a hundredth time now, Eunji-ah."

"But...I felt bad."

"You were just thinking about Jugyeong, and I know how much she likes him," she said, "but honest, Suho and I just became friends for some reason and no, we're not what you guys think about us," she explained.

"I'm sorry," she said again, playing with her food.

"Oh, come on, Eunji-ah," she stabbed her fork on her cousin's plate, taking the meat, "if you don't finish your plate, I'll make you pay for everything I buy for a week," she threatened as she tries feeding Eunji.

"If nothing's going on between you two, why did Suho said you guys are testing?"

"I don't really know what's inside Suho's head sometimes but I know for sure he likes Jugyeong."

"He likes Jugyeong?" Eunji raised her voice.

"Hey, shh!" Hana hushed her cousin, not wanting to get the attention of some customers.

"He does?!" she yelled in a whisper.

Hana chuckled, "yes, I guess?"

"He was so bothered when you guys saw us in my apartment," she confessed.

"So, what are we going to do?" Eunji asked. Wanting to do something to get Jugyeong and Suho together.

"Eunji-ah, we're not doing anything."

"Why not?"

"If Suho wants to make a move, he will. If Jugyeong will be the one to make a move, she will. Those two should figure it out themselves."

"You sound jealous," Eunji stared at her cousin.

"No," she smiled, "I don't like Suho that way, he's more of like a brother to me."

"When did you guys start hanging out?"

"A week before the vacation? I don't know."

Eunji gasped, "why didn't I notice?"

Hana laughed a bit, "because I wanted to be alone that time, Suho just somehow showed up and he started talking to me."

"He talked to you?" Eunji asked. She cannot seem to accept the fact that Suho can initiate a conversation with others than Jugyeong.

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it either."

"So, what did you guys talk about?"

"Uh, Jugyeong?" she lied.

Eunji squinted her eyes.

Hana's phone vibrated and got a message from someone he hasn't heard for more than a week, Han Seojun.

"Come see me for a minute after dinner."

"What's that?" Eunji asked and snatched Hana's phone from her.

"Hey!"

"Why is Seojun texting you?"

Seojun exited the bathroom, drying his hair with a small towel while another one is wrapped around his waist.

Gowoon glared at her brother when she noticed he's dripping all over the floor.

"Han Seojun!"

He just glanced at her, continued drying his hair.

"Clean up your mess, will you?"

"I'm in a hurry," he said before closing his bedroom door.

He threw the towel he's using to dry his hair on his bed before going over his closet.

He took a black, fitted, long sleeves, pairing it with black pants. He also took a plain, white shirt, a gray hood, and a pair of shorts.

Seojun put everything he laid out, fitting them, trying to see if it looks good. But he wasn't satisfied, he then took another shirt, a black one with a Bucci logo on it, he paired it with the black pants he had previously. He took a black cap with hoops on the side of it.

To complete his outfit, he took his shoes with a mix of black and white.

"This seems okay?" he said and sprayed a cologne.

He checked his message and saw Hana's reply.

"Sure, 7:30 then at Bugstar Cafe."

When he got out of his room, Gowoon and his mother looked at him. Embarrassed, his ears reddened and looked the other way.

"I'll be out."

"What about dinner?" asked her mom.

"I'll have some outside."

He checked his watch, it was 6:49.

"I hope I won't be late," he uttered and then closed the door behind him.

"Is your brother going on a date?" their mom asked Gowoon.

"Based on how a wreck he is putting effort, I guess," Gowoon answered as she bites an apple.

"Text me when you get home," Hana said to her cousin as they parted ways.

She started walking towards the bus stop to go to the place she's going to see Seojun. She checked the time, it was 6:55. She guessed she'll be a little late but since Seojun hasn't responded yet, she presumed he will too.

Hana decided to play some music, and to her surprise, No Time's music played.

She smiled, closing her eyes.

When the bus stopped, she opened them again and looked around. It's her stop.

She stood and got down from the bus. Walking towards the Bugstar, she hummed through the songs of No Time, earning a couple of glances from the people near her. But she doesn't want to care, she just wanted to take it all in and use the time to remember her late friend.

As she's nearing down the shop, she received a text from Seojun.

"I'm here."

She glanced up and saw a panting Seojun outside the coffee shop.

"Seojun-ah!" she called him.

He looked towards her direction and ran towards her.

"Hana," he said, still panting, "I like you."
