𝙳𝚘𝚗'𝚝! 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 | Treasure Junkyu

-11-

It's been a month since I discovered about the bet and Junkyu's been helping me by talking to me ALL THE TIME.

We got closer so much in just a month thanks to Seunghun.

"MOM!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!" I went down my knees as I saw a puppy running towards me. I picked the puppy and hugged it.

"HIS NAME IS KYU!" I went near Junkyu and showed him the cute little fluffball I'm holding.

"Don't name it after me!" I furrowed my eyebrows at Junkyu and shook my head.

"I'm not naming him after you! Kyu is a name that I already thought about like years ago."

"She's not lying. She wanted to have a dog named Kyu." Mom said as she placed Kyu's bed at the corner.

"But why?" Junkyu asked as he patted Kyu's head.

"Because its a cute name."

"Just like mine?" I glared at Junkyu and let him hold Kyu.

"What did you say? Junk-yu?"

"Ya! It's JUN-KYU!"

"Whatever."

We played with Kyu for a while until he seemed sleepy so I laid him on the small bed my mom bought.

"Where's Junkyu?" I asked my mom when I didn't see him at the living room.

"Went outside."

I went outside and saw Junkyu sitting at the bench at the garden. I sat at the bench in front him and he suddenly looked back and it seemed like he's wiping his tears.

"Did you just cry?"

Junkyu shook his head but his eyes sure looks red.

"Look... I was just joking about that Junk-"

"What? No! I'm not crying about that!"

"Then why?"

Junkyu didn't answer me and just looked at the sky. Is he missing Hyewon?

It was quite for a while and I felt quite pressured by it.

"It's her death anniversary..."

I looked at Junkyu who's trying to give a sincere smile.

"It's been two years."

What?! Two years?! I thought Hyewon's death was just a recent one!

"Why do you look so surprised?"

"I... I thought she just died recently..."

"It was a suicide."

My eyes widened with what he said. Hyewon committed suicide?

"Seowoo I... I feel like I'm such a bad person..."

Junkyu looked at me and smiled while crying.

"Why am I not that sad anymore?"

He's not that sad anymore?

"It's because you're finally accepting her death."

I held his face with both of my hands and wiped his tears.

"Don't be mad on yourself. It's a good thing."

I'm the worst. Why do I feel so happy?

I shouldn't feel happy!

Because if I do... then it means that I... like...him... It would mean that I like him!

Suddenly, Junkyu held my hands and squeezed it.

"Thank you, Seowoo."

Junkyu looked at me and I felt my cheeks heating up so I looked down.

"I didn't do anything..."

"You stayed by my side when I'm feeling devastated, that helped me a lot, Seowoo."

"What are you guys doing?"

I pulled my hands back and fake coughed as I heard my mom's voice.

"A-ah-hahaha you lost Kim Junkyu! Oh it's you Mom! We were playing some kind games! Hehehe... I'll check up on Kyu! Bye!"

I immediately went inside the house and saw Kyu walking around the living room. His tail started to wag and he ran towards me.

I picked him up and brought him to my room.

"I'm afraid, Kyu...

I think I'm falling for him."
