You know what I really hate? Those days in which, for some reason, the time seem dreadfully longer. And sadly, today is one of those days. Every single second feels like a minute, and every single minute feels like hours. But what's worse than going through a dreadful day is my secrets about me dating Seungwoo have been revealed today. And that stupid Jaehyun kept making fun of me. This long day added to the fact that Hana's stupid act has been nothing but pure hell. Luckily, it's finally time to go home.
"Seul, let's go home together." Jaehyun suddenly slung his arm around my shoulder. "I can drop you off at your house."
While I grimaced at his stupidity, Hana laughed, finding it amusing. "You two would make a good couple."
I immediately shoved Jaehyun's arm away from my shoulder. Me and Jaehyun together sounds like a disaster and there's no way in hell I'd like this annoying boy.
"No thanks." I picked up some of my stuff and walked out of the office. Jaehyun followed after.
"Seul, wait for me." He ran and caught my hand. "Let me take you home."
"Why are you so eager?" I looked at him with an annoyed expression. "I can walk home by myself."
"Don't look at me with that expression." Jaehyun gave me a disgustingly sweet and overly greasy smile. "Wait here. I'll go take my car."
Minutes later, a black shiny car approached me. As expected, from the way he dressed, I could tell that he was financially stable. It was a luxury car, after all. I am grateful that I'm not into rich guy. Several times I've heard my friends ask out of curiosity "what's your ideal guy?" because they haven't seen me experiencing dating a specific guy. Whenever I get this question, I never know how to answer so I usually just say something along the lines of, "my ideal guy is someone who wants a commitment," and that may not sound like a bad thing, actually.
Now that come to think of it, I would love to have a boyfriend who shared the same interest as mine. I'm passionate about reading. Reading gives me a level of fulfillment. It rejuvenates me. After reading a book, I feel like a whole new being and my outlook in life changes. Most of my 'me-time' is actually spent on reading. I'd love to have someone who can come right over and makes me feel better when I'm sick, even if it means him getting sick. I'd love to have someone who has a career and a life goals and wants to get married and start a family with me, who cooks for me, who says "I love you" constantly, just because he cherishes our relationship, a guy who'd kissed me for nothing just because he knows that I am a big hopeless romantic. Just someone who accepts me and the girl that I am.
Seungwoo's face suddenly popped in my head. How had he been doing, I wondered. It'd been a week since he left for Japan. Is he already back here? We'd both been busy. Had he been missing me, too? I felt too high strung. This 'Ideal Guy' thoughts had pushed it to the forefront of my mind. My heart beating crazily. His face kept popping up in my mind; the way he'd looked when we're walking under the moonlight. All of his act and gentleness. His cute dimples and the way his hair all wind-blown and sexy. Shit.
"Seul." Jaehyun called loudly. "Stop daydreaming and get in." He commanded.
As expect, the car ride was very awkward. Jaehyun is the only one who kept on talking; I kept staring outside the window.
"Seuuuul." Jaehyun sang as he called me. "Where are we going? Perhaps a date?" He smiled like an idiot and wiggled his eyebrow at me. I had to whack his head to remove that stupid expression from his face.
"Sure. Just sent me back home. I'm tired."
"Oh, because of the big secrets have been revealed, right?" He snickered.
"No, Jung Jaehyun!" I tried to smack his head but he was fast enough to dodge it. He laughed, happy to tease me.
"Speaking of that." He turned to look at me. "What happened between you and that celebrity guy? Are you perhaps cheating on me?" He faked a hurt expression. I immediately smacked his shoulder. I wonder how many times I'd smacked this guy today. Normally, I never hit any guy, but this Jaehyun is too much for me to handle. He kept on teasing me today, once he found out about the big issue, revealed by Hana today. I've had enough.
"Why would I cheat on you if we're not dating?" I said, smacking some sense into him.
"Now, now, stop smacking me lady." He said, giggling. "You look cute, don't worry."
"Who are you calling cute?" This perverted idiot, teasing me and now calling me cute for getting mad at him, he's just unreasonable. But then, why is it that my heart trembled a bit when he called me cute? It reminds me of Seungwoo. He'd always called me cute. Ugh, that brat. Why he hadn't texted today.
"Hey, do you love your boyfriend?" Jaehyun asked, curious.
I contemplated for a moment. "Ummm...maybe." My heart is not prepared to answer that question. I like him, I believe that. But do I really love him?
Seungwoo means the world to me that everything at the moment is so perfect between us and I'm so scared that this might just all go away or something might happen that will leave one or maybe both of us hurting.
I am grateful that I met Seungwoo. He makes me feel better like he could make me smile all day and literally forget about any bad things just by thinking of him. I'd always have this thought, I wanted to make him mine but it's impossible. I tried to keep my mind off the fact that even though he was so close with me, I still wouldn't get him to be mine. I'd never be able to make it work if he didn't want me as much as I did. If I'd been with him, I'd only have to worry about him not loving me as much as I loved him.
After a while, the car finally stopped by my apartment. I had a sudden flashback to where Seungwoo had always walked me home every time we're out somewhere. Will he walk me home again when he's back here?
"Are you okay?" Jaehyun asked softly.
"Yes." I muttered, gathering all my stuff to get out from his car. Jaehyun followed as well. "Thanks for sending me home, Jaehyun. You didn't have to do it again next time."
"Aww, that sucks." He grinned. "My neck hurts so much that I can't even move it. You slept on my shoulder all the way, Seul. But it's okay, it was fun."
It took me five seconds to process what he just said, but afterwards, I immediately respond, "No way! I didn't fall asleep on you. Jaehyun stop messing around!"
"Ask that to my neck, sweety."
I looked at him in disbelief. "You should head back home, goodnight." I uttered and pushed his body inside his car.
"I'm just joking, Seul." He laughed. "It was fun to tease you. You're so cute."
I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes. "You're unreasonable."
"Seul?"
A familiar voice called my name. I turned to look; eyes widen clearly in surprise as I realized the person.
