Hoe 101 ✔️ | Han Seungwoo

chapter 25

| kookheon's point of view

"Yoona." I said with a sigh, "What are you doing here, again?"

She looked at the roses in my hands and then back at me with wavering eyes, "Just wanted to see what you were gonna do with the roses I gave you. Looks like I had a good instinct."

I rolled my eyes and walked past her down the pavement, over to the trash where I threw her bouquet. I turned around to meet her right in front of me which kinda had me startled. "Jesus." I cursed out.

"Kookheon, please..." she said sadly, "Just let me explain."

I bit the inside of my cheek and actually considered her words. Then I said, "Yoona...what about my class?"

She looked up at me with hopeful eyes and grabbed my wrist while running back to my dorm, "You can get the work from a friend, I promise I won't be long."

I sighed and followed her back into the living room, where we both sat down on the couch and faced each other. I gestured toward her, "Fine. Explain, because you have a lot to explain."

She breathed in and out slowly before starting, "Kookheon, I never meant to hurt you the way I did. It was never my intention to have such an impact on you as it did. I'll admit I was a bad girlfriend to you, I did things I shouldn't have...and the whole sleeping with other guys while we were dating... I did it to try and get revenge on you."

I looked up at her slowly, "What?"

She bit her lower lip nervously while playing with her nails fidgety, "I could just tell you were still in love with Ara, Kookheon. There's no need to lie to me anymore."

My eyes softened at her and all the memories of Ara came rushing back. My heart started beating faster in my chest and that's when I realized she was right. I guiltily looked at her, "Okay Yoona. Yes I was...but that doesn't give you the right to get revenge on me? Really?"

She shook her head quickly, "No of course not. I was stupid and immature. I thought it would trigger something in you and make you want me even more but I was wrong. Instead it made things worse...and I realize that now, what I did was wrong and cruel and I'm sorry."

I nodded, "You're right. It was so cruel...you broke my heart so bad. Especially dealing with leaving Ara at the same time, my heart was just in pieces and to think I had at least you by my side was enough but I was wrong about that too."

Her hand came up to mine and she interlocked her fingers with mine, "I'm so sorry. I promise I never intended to do this to you. I was ignorant. And I'm not asking for forgiveness...I just want to try again?"

My ears perked up and I tilted my head, "Try again? You don't mean like date again, do you?"

She shook her head fast, "No no, just like try being friends again, and then slowly work our way up. I just want us to be okay again."

I stared at her for awhile after she said that. My thoughts were spiraling and I didn't know how to answer. She stared at me with eyes that were waiting for a response.

Should I agree?

"You know what," I finally said, "Why not. I still trust you, despite everything you did. Besides, I wasn't so perfect in our relationship either."

Her smile widened big and she threw her arms around me, kinda suffocating me, "Thank you so much oh my god you do not know how much this means to me!" She squealed.

I choked while hugging her back, "Can't. Breathe."

She gasped loudly and let go of me immediately while checking on me worriedly, "Oh shit are you alright? I hugged you too hard ugh! My arms are made of steel, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-"
