Chapter 27 : Ex-Bf Came Back Successful

Jiwon's POV

I was practicing in the dance studio when Mina unnie texted me to come to the makeup room. I went there.

Mina unnie was sitting on the couch when I entered the room. She called me and told me to sit beside her.

"We have a new makeup artist for you. The previous one is having a break so we just got a new temporary one for you," Mina unnie said. I just nodded.

"He'll work for some months only before the previous one comes back. I called you here so that I could introduce him to you."

Then we heard the opening of the door. Someone entered the room.

"Oh, you're here early," Mina unnie said, looking at the person behind me.

"Jiwon, this is Hyun Taewoon, your new makeup artist."

I turned to see the person. I was left in shock when I saw him.

"This is Jiwon. You'll be her makeup artist," Mina unnie said to him.

He was also a bit shocked on seeing me by watching his expression. We both kept looking at each other in shock.

"Hyun Taewoon?" I mumbled to myself.

What is he doing here? Don't tell me he would be my new makeup artist.

-Flashback-

"Do you like it?" Taewoon asked.

"Yes. A lot," I said and hugged him.

It was our three year anniversary. He bought me a ring and and bouquet of my favorite flowers. We were having lunch in a restaurant at that time. We used loved each other so much.

Taewoon was so caring towards me. He already knew what I was thinking as if he had some telepathy skills. He always used to make me laugh when my mood was off or I was just sad about something. He was my first love and now he's my boyfriend.

But something unexpected happened after that day.

"Why do you want to break up? Why all of a sudden?" I said as my tears were falling down from my eyes. "It's not three months! It's three years! We've been dating for three years!"

I was still crying. I didn't understand why he wanted to break up with me now. Then it started raining. We were getting drenched in rain but we didn't mind it.

"I'm sorry," he just said and left me there.

I was left standing there, getting drenched in the rain as I saw his tall figure fading away. I cried hard.

From then I never thought that I would meet him again. I focused all my attention to become an idol from then.

-End Of Flashback-

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Mina unnie waved a hand in front of my face. "Jiwon. What are you thinking?"

"Huh?... It's nothing."

"We would be looking forward to your work," she said to him who was now sitting opposite to us.

Mina unnie looked at her phone and back to us. "I need to go. Pd-nim is looking for me. You both talk for sometime. I'll get going now." She stood up and walked out of the room, leaving the two of us alone.

"Congrats on your debut," Taewoon said after looking at the various makeup products on the table.

"Huh?"

"Congrats on your debut."

"Uh... Thank you."

"Working here would be a great opportunity."

-Flashback-

"This is my only opportunity. It's easy to go abroad for others, but not for me," Taewoon said.

"I know. But what does that have to do with our breakup?"

"You know me well. I can't do two things at a time."

"I know. I know that very well. But it's not like you'll be there for ten or twenty years. We can still keep in touch. I just can't..."

"Everyone said... I'm too greedy. There is no guarantee that I'll succeed. They said I don't have time to date! That's why I'm going to give it my all."

"Isn't it because you just don't love me anymore?..."

"I am... more important to me than you are. I became more important..."

-End Of Flashback-

"You must be having busy schedules," Taewoon said and I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Huh?... Yes."

"Shall we go now?"

"Let's go then." I turn around to walk out of the room. I opened the door and we both walked out of the room.

I was about to walk away from him when he stopped me. "Have you been well?"

I stood there, frozen. I was becoming teary when I heard him say that.

For the past years, I imagined and rehearsed this scene hundreds of times. I wanted to show that my life is great without you. I'm not easygoing, unlike you. So I just wished you were in pain.

I wished you were in a lot of pain. I wanted to smile and ask how you were doing. I wanted to lie and say that I was seeing someone. But... why couldn't I do that?

***

"WHAT?! He's your ex?" Yeoju said, sitting up straight on her bed, in shock.

"Hmm." I sighed. "He's still a scumbag."

"Just ignore him like you have been, got it unnie?"

"It's easier said than done."

"Don't think too much about it." She yawned. "I should go to bed now. You should too."

It won't be that easy to ignore him.
