Dark Shades x Seonghwa FF

Chapter Eighteen

The great news of the whole incident with Hajoon, is that even though his father is a rich bastard, Hyosonn's mother has a great lawyer that will guarantee that Hajoon will serve a sentence as a minor, but he wasn't going to be free outdoors. It was a huge relief for Hyosonn and her mother, not having to worry of if he could come to hunt Hyosonn at any moment.

They had decided on going on a short road trip over the weekend, just her and her mother, to Jeju Island. It was relaxing, even massage sessions were involved. The two bonded like never before, and a lot of tension was released after these three days of enjoying time together.

Refreshed and renovated, Hyosonn returned on Monday, hung out with her two best friends as usual, and lunch was really pleasant without fear of Hajoon popping up from somewhere.

She left early to go to homeroom because she has two assignments due tomorrow, and sees Seonghwa sitting in the chair she normally sits.

"Did you forget where you sit, moron? That's my seat, so get off," she growls at him, the good mood slowly dissipating. He wasn't bothering her in third period, so she doesn't understand his need to pester her.

Because Hajoon isn't, he's taken his place?!

"I haven't, Kang Hyosonn. The reason I am here is because I really need to talk to you. I know you'll say that you don't give a shit of what I want to tell you, and you are obviously going to refuse. But...you will want to hear what I have to say. It's life or death.." Seonghwa says, looking visibly anxious and very tense.

"Life or death? How?" she asks, confused.

"Come with me. Just trust me, Hyosonn. I'm not like the son of a bitch Hajoon," he groans exasperatedly, hurriedly getting on his feet and boldly interlaced his fingers through Hyosonn's hand, pulling her gently because of her healing foot.

He leads her to the wall, and she felt panic rising. Why are they here??? Why go so far to talk...what is going on?!!!

"Seonghwa, why am I here?" she asked slowly, her heart beating erratically.

"Because everything started here...and I want to change the circumstances," he answered, seeming a little shy which is so unlike him.

"Of course, it was going to be of us. I am leaving, Seonghwa," she muttered, about to turn around.

He instantly lightly yanked her back towards him.

This is some crazy déjà vu, without getting slammed into a wall.

"I can't take this anymore, Hyosonn. If I wait another day of letting you slip away from me, and end up losing you forever, I would never forgive myself for not doing anything about it," he says anxiously, and slowly was leading her to the wall. Uh, oh.

"Seonghwa-" she began to panic.

"I won't hurt you, baby. Look, I am not locking you there like I would have before. Just please don't go until I speak to you. I beg you," he pleaded with shining eyes.

He's acting so strange right now. What the hell is going on?

Even his breathing changed abruptly, sounding heavy and ragged. It's obvious he is extremely nervous over something.

"Like I said before...I won't delay another day of talking with you about this. I was struggling this entire month, trying to deny what it is that I am feeling. I was in total denial, but this is bigger than what I can handle," he began, breathless.

There was a glint in his eyes that Hyosonn has never seen in Seonghwa.
He hesitantly cupped her face, and her own eyes widened in shock.

"I acted like an idiot, Sonn. I hurt you so much, I made you cry a lot. I just hope it isn't too late to amend my mistakes. I know I am not perfect, and I fuck up way too much to count. That's because I have never gone through this before," he murmured, smiling sadly, and stroked her cheek. She can't ever resist closing her eyes from how amazing it feels. Even if she is also dying...
