Letting love in (GTop)

Distance

~Jiyong~

"Please" Minji whinned giving me her best aegyo.

I groan. "come on, Minj, can't i just have a normal weekend away from your friends?"

"Away from my friends, or away from Seunghyun?" She challenges.

I turn around glaring at her. "don't bring him into this."

"How can i not, when that's clearly all that this is about? Come on, you've been icnoring him all week and he looks like a little lost puppy without you." She gives me a disaproving look, while i continue to glare at her "don't get me wrong, Ji. I'm all for bro's before hoe's, but i know you miss him, i can tell."

I look away 'have i made it that obvious?'

"I still don't want to go out clubing with you and your stupid friends." i spit.

"You don't have to club, just be our designated driver." Minji smirks.

I roll my eyes. "You're not old enough to drink."

"Not according to my fake ID" she giggles "and you really wouldn't want your little sister to get into an accident, would you?"

"Oh, now you're yonger?" I shake my head at her cunningness.

"When it works in my favor, yes." she smiles sweetly, way too sweetly.

I groan. "i swear, you get this power from your mother, and you use it for evil"

She laughs and walks toward my door "what you see as evil, i see as fun, now get dressed, we leave in an hour."

I breath out a breath "honestly this kid, unbelievable" but what was more unbelievable is that I actually do as she told me to and start to get ready.

....

We arrive at the club and it is packed full of people, but what else can you expect on a Saturday night in the middle of Seoul.

"Oh, there they are." Minji says after looking around for her friends.

The minute I look where she's pointing to, I zero in on a miserable looking Seunghyun. His head was lowered and he's starting at the table, with a mixture of boredom and sadness on his face.

I sigh 'why does it hurt so much to see him like this?'

"Come on" she says pulling me to the table. "Hey guys" Minji announces her presence loudly.

The whole table looks up smiling and greeting her enthusiastically, except for Seunghyun who finds me immediately, staring at me in surprise. Our eyes lock for a second and i catch myself longing to reach out and touch him, to force every last drop of sadness from his eyes. He looks like he wants to say something, anything, but he remains silent while he stares at me.

"Ji's going to be our DD... if that's alright?" Minji uncharacteristically sounds nervous and I wonder if my situation with Seunghun is making it awkward with her friends. A wave of guilt spreads over me and I instantly regret agreeing to come here tonight.

"Minji, I'm going to go sit at the bar, just come find me when you're ready to leave" I tell her, having to yell slightly over the music.

She looks at me like she's about to protest but I walk away without giving her the chance. Honestly, I just wanted to be anywhere but here right now.

I can feel Seunghyun's eyes following me as i walk away, and i hate myself for the shiver of pleasure that slides up my spine at that knowlege.
