Chapter 25: "talk"

Year 2017

BOTH OF THE BOYS decided to drop by a coffee shop so that both san and naeun could retrieve back the energy they had used on the flight.

After they had ordered, both boys wanted to leave the girls some alone time while the boys went out to buy some things on the streets. Although it wasn't such a great plan considering
it 'd get very awkward without the loud boys there with them, they had no choice, they didn't want to ruin this day for san, especially when he just got back to seoul with a bright smile on his face.

Mingi sent eunbi a nervous stare, the three were very uneasy and they didn't really know what to do in this situation.

Naeun sighed deeply once the two had vanished from their sight. She began to sweat a lot and she was getting really uncomfortable. That was until she chose to stand up and excuse herself while she dashed towards the restroom.

Eunbi on the other hand, desperately wanted to talk to her, how she was and everything she had missed while naeun was in japan.

A few minutes later, naeun had gotten back to her seat and had nothing to focus on except on the untouched boba infront of her, the boys were still not there and people were starting to stare.

However, naeun got really startled when someone tapped their finger on her shoulder, it was eunbi.

"Look, naeun i am really sorry about what happened in highschool, when you saw what we were doing, i pushed mingi back because i realized what i did was wrong"

Her eyes were brimming with tears, naeun's too but, naeun didn't want to break infront of her. She wanted to look stronger, better. She wanted to look like she had already moved on from him when in reality she hasn't, she still feels betrayed and it seems like sorry won't solve anything.

"Sorry doesn't cut it eunbi, you did what you did and you knew it would tear me to pieces."

"You think your apology would make me forget everything that happened, that it would make things back to the way they were? Heck no! you broke my trust eunbi and i don't know if you could ever get it back"

At this point naeun was gritting her teeth and was boiling with anger.

Eunbi was a bit intimidated but nonetheless kept her stand and tried so hard not to burst.

"This is ridiculous, why did i have to bump into both of you, i just wish this is a dream" naeun gripped on her head in frustration.

"I'm sorry"

Eunbi says with a cracked voice.

"I'm truly sorry naeu-"

"What are you sorry about?"

San joins the conversation and immediately, the table gets dead quiet.

"San, i don't want to sound rude but i know you told me you'd take me home but, i really need to go right now, i can take the bus or grab a taxi, it's and emergency"

Naeun had made up an excuse just to get out of the scene but the universe has it's way of turning the tables.

"Oh really? I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, we can drop you there right know, it'll take much longer if you take the bus since it doesn't arrive 'till the next thirty minutes, plus taking a taxi is really expensive."

San grabbed all the stuff they bought and placed them in the trunk of the car and turned the engine on.

At this point, naeun's day just turned from 70.3 to a flat 1.

She had no choice than to get in the vehicle with the couple at the back talking about what had happened earlier when the latter wasn't there.

And once again, awkward silence filled the air.
