crush

There's an awkward silent in Woohyun's car. No one talks. Both remain silent. Chorong taps her fingers on her skirt, feeling embarrassed by her own self. Why on Earth would she use Woohyun to lie to Suho? She sighs, throwing looks outside the window. What's she going to do now?

Woohyun parks his car in front of the elegant cafe. He opens the door for Chorong and they both walk into the cafe awkwardly. No talking, just busying themselves in their own worlds. Woohyun, who can't take it anymore, taps the table. His eyes meet Chorong's. She looks guilty for what she's done.

Woohyun- What was that for?
Chorong- I'm sorry, I was desperate to run away from him
Woohyun- So, the rumor is true
Chorong- What rumor?
Woohyun- About you and him..
Chorong- What?! Holy shit. Woohyun, we have nothing
Woohyun- Not in the past
Chorong- Ugh!

She leans back against her chair, calling the waitress. She orders her favorite iced latte and strawberry waffles. Woohyun orders iced Americano for himself. He frowns, thinking of the scene. That guy looks so familiar. He looks at Chorong in shock.

Woohyun- What the hell, Park Chorong?
Chorong- What? What's wrong with you?
Woohyun- Your ex! He is Suho! Kim..
Chorong- Shh! Slow down! Yes, he is The Kim Suho and what's with that?
Woohyun- What the hell? My friend is so beautiful that a billionaire would look at her
Chorong- Holy shit, Nam Woohyun. He was a friend back then in high school and we started dating in college
Woohyun- Wow, you're amazing
Chorong- Sadly, we don't last long

Chorong's face changes. She looks furious few minutes ago but now she looks all sad and gloomy. Woohyun sighs, he shouldn't be so excited about her ex. Chorong throws look outside, looking at the busy road. She feels worried. She has a good feeling that Suho isn't okay right now. She can see how furious he was just now as if he can kill Woohyun with his piercing sharp stares. Shit, it's scary.

They finish their lunch and Chorong informs Jinyoung that she's not going back to the office. She asks Woohyun if they can have walk together and he immediately agrees. They arrives at the park. Both are still silent. Chorong turns on her phone and slides into her gallery. Woohyun glances and ends up with a bitter smile.

He already have feelings for Chorong ever since they were 10. But, because his parents need to manage their branch in London, he has to forget about confessing. And now, he's back and knowing that this friend of his still can't get over her ex boyfriend actually pains him. He likes.. no, he loves Chorong so much. Not as a friend or sister, but as a woman.

Woohyun- You still love him?
Chorong- Well, it's hard to tell, Woohyun ah. We've been together for almost 4 years
Woohyun- That's quite long. Why did you guys break up?
Chorong- Well, our parents never like us being together. I don't know, but I feel like it's because Suho's parents are my parents' rival in business
Woohyun- And both of you broke up and Lee family suddenly purpose to make you their daughter in law? Wow, what a drama
Chorong- Bloody hell. Just take my wealth away and I still won't marry that Minhyuk
Woohyun- You're being a savage there, lady
Chorong- Shut the fuck up

Woohyun chuckles as Chorong roll her eyes in annoyance. Minhyuk was also a friend to her. It's really funny if they suddenly get married. Well, arranged one. Chorong tugs her hair behind her left ear and looks to the front, blankly. No thoughts, just clearing her mind from all of the mess.

Woohyun stares at Chorong. How can her side profile looks so beautiful? She's ethereal, she's an angel. Well, the bad part is she cursed a lot. He suddenly feels jealous with Suho. If only he didn't move to London, Chorong must be happy with him now. But, it's already too late. Suho confessed first and Chorong still love him madly. He sighs.

Woohyun- Don't you want to love again?
Chorong- What do you mean?
Woohyun- Well, starting again with someone new? Me, perhaps?

Chorong bursts out laughing. Oh God, this guy really know how to joke. She looks at Woohyun.

Chorong- You want me to move on? It's too hard, Woohyun. And I know I'll never be able to
Woohyun- But, Rong. Life must go on. You have to move on and find someone new
Chorong- You're saying that as if it's easy for me. You think I didn't try? I tried but I can't. I love him so much, Woohyun. He's my first love and I want him to be the last. There's too many memories of us, I spent almost every day with him. It's just too hard for me

Chorong cups her face, crying. Woohyun feels guilty after looking at his friend in that devastated state. He shouldn't force her. He isn't in her shoes, of course he doesn't know how does it feel. Chorong must love Suho so much. He sighs, he knows he got no choice but.. it's not wrong hoping for something good right?

They hop back into the car. Woohyun starts his engine and drives the car towards Chorong's apartment. He stops in front of the building and parks his car. They walk together into the elevator, Chorong presses the button that reads 54. She lives on that level. Chorong thanks Woohyun before walking into her unit. Woohyun sighs and leaves.

Woohyun- I hope you will open up to me one day, Rong

And he drives away from the building. But, what he doesn't know was, someone is actually observing him from afar.
