Fake Love [Completed]

56 | Paper Cuts

I walked into the Cafe with my laptop tucked under my arm and saw the girl sitting on our usual seat with two mugs of coffee placed there.

"Sooyoung," I greeted her with a bright smile and she returned it with a cheeky grin. "Book 2 is about to get finished and I don't know how to feel about it" I pouted and placed my laptop on the table before I took my seat in front of her.

"Hey there," she greeted me back. "You're still into my story?" her eyes crinkled in a teasing smile. "Did you even sleep last night?"

I didn't. I mean how could I? Her story was making me feel anxious about the ending and I was already going through different emotions while writing it. Turning on the laptop, I noticed her eyes were filled with tears and frowned. "Hey, you alright?" I asked.

"I'm just emotional." She chuckled, wiping the tear that fell on her cheek. "For the last few months I felt like I lived my life all over again. I can't believe that I came all the way through those years," she said.

"Honestly..." I sighed. "You're a strong woman Sooyoung. I don't know how you pulled it through. Seriously."

She smiled at that. "I do not know." she grinned and then glanced at my laptop. "Your fingers are itching to write another chapter," she teased and I shrugged. "You've always been like this, Azalea."

"I'm a writer sweety." I winked before my expression turned serious. "So what happened that day? Did your brother get hurt?" I asked.

Her eyes had that far away look like she was lost in the memory and a sad smile appeared on her lips. "That call wasn't about my brother."

"Huh?" I raised my brows as my eyes looked up at her from the screen. "What do you mean?"

Seulgi ran into the corridors searching for a specific room, her heart beating wildly in her chest and eyes filled with tears. Gasping for a breath she saw Chanyeol standing outside the supposed room and walked to him with trembling steps.

"Where is he?" her voice was broken and Chanyeol's teary eyes looked up at her. A loud sob escaped her lips as she went to him. "How is he?" she asked again.
