Take Care of My Girlfriend

[2] I Never Expected This

[2]

Gikwang’s Point of View~

Guilty.

I was there, in front of her, standing like an idiot. I didn’t know what to do. Sangrae was there, crying as she stood, forcibly stopping her tears from falling. She sobbed softly, trying not to gain any attention from the crowd and the students passing by.

The worst thing a guy could ever see is the one girl he loved crying in pain and knows that he was the sole reason for it. That’s true, based on my experience. I’ve never seen anything this horrible and this heartbreaking in my whole life. This was crap. I was hesitant at first but I wanted so badly to console her, to stop her from crying, to see that bright smile on her face again.

I threw away the hint of doubt off my face as I pulled her towards me for a hug, but to my dismay, she pushed back and refused to give in. It really made me feel as if she hated me. She hated me with every piece of fibre in her body. She hated me to the core. And all I could do was accept that, because she had the right to.

Sangrae, stop crying. Please. Just stop crying. I couldn’t bear to see you like this.

If only I could say those words to her right now...but I’m too afraid. Too afraid to be rejected again. I’m such a coward. I looked at the floor as I let the feeling of disappointment and frustration fall on my shoulders. I did this. Somehow, I wanted to find a solution for this.

I want to tell you how I feel Sangrae. Nothing’s changed. I still love you. I still love you with all of my heart. If only you knew.

“Sangrae? Why are you crying?” a familiar voice suddenly appeared. I thought it was my imagination, though it wasn’t. I looked up and I saw Sangrae crying on his shoulder. My eyes widened and I felt my jaw slightly fall open.

“D-Dongwoon?” I asked. A sudden unexplainable feeling engulfed me. It was irritating me to pieces.  What the hell-?! Why is he holding her like that?

He was hugging her tightly as he let her cry on his shoulders, his shirt starting to get wet. He was comforting her by whispering some words to her that I couldn’t quite understand.

“You better go, Gikwang, I’ll take care of her,” he told me. Take care of her?! What the hell is he saying!?

“What? You should be the one to go, Dongwoon. I’m the one who’s supposed to take care of her right now!” I yelled at him without thinking.

“Do you hear what you’re saying? Then again, you’re right! You already had your chance but now it’s my turn!” he replied angrily.

I could hear Sangrae stop crying. She had turned to look at Dongwoon though Dongwoon was giving me death glares. She looked at him lovingly; as lovingly as she looked at me before.

“Jagiya,” she softly whispered.

Dongwoon swiftly turned to look at her.

My eyes widened. I swear I felt my heart stop beating. What did she just say?! Jagiya? She couldn’t have meant me...she was looking at Dongwoon! What did she just call him!?

I felt as if I wanted to die at that moment. I heard it. She just called him ‘jagiya’.

What did it mean?

I couldn’t believe my ears as I looked at them, staring at each other. They were looking into each other’s eyes as if they could talk and understand without opening their mouths for words.

“What...what did you just call him?” I asked, I didn’t really care if I looked so stupid right now. I was desperate. They looked at me before Dongwoon looked back at Sangrae. Sangrae nodded her head as she wiped off the water from her eyes.
