BEHIND THE SCENES

chapter 139: two fools in the rain

<OST: Like a fool - 2AM>

"Byulyi-ya, wait!"

Seokjin ducked under Byulyi's umbrella, grabbed hold of her arm and turned her around to face him. At this point, he was completely soaked to the bone from chasing after her in the rain.

Byulyi looked up at him, looking pissed. "What?"

"Huh?" Seokjin stared down at her, surprised by the lack of emotion in her voice. "Um, I- I-"

Byulyi watched him fumble with his words for a few whole seconds before she decided to speak.

"Who was that girl earlier?"

Seokjin didn't answer her question as he ruffled his hair, trying to get the water out. "What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here?" Byulyi stared at him in dismay. "Are you even listening to yourself right now, Kim Seokjin? What am I doing here?"

"No, I-" Seokjin racked his brains, trying to recall. "I don't know... Why? Did you tell me before?"

"You're unbelievable."

Seokjin didn't know what to say.

"1pm. At that exact café." Byulyi looked up at him with tears in his eyes. "Does that sound familiar to you at all?"

"Oh, shit."

Seokjin swallowed hard as he finally remembered. The past few days had been such a frenzy, he- he had completely forgotten about his promise with Byulyi. Sure, he may have been really busy... but a promise was a promise.

"I'm so sorry-" Seokjin buried his head in his hands for a while before looking up at Byulyi. "Moon Byulyi, seriously - I'm so sorry, you have no idea. Please, give me a chance to make it up to you-"

"It doesn't matter," Byulyi said coldly as she pushed Seokjin aside. "It must not have mattered to you."

Byulyi walked off, leaving Seokjin behind in the rain once more.

"Ya, wait!" Seokjin ran after Byulyi and ducked under her umbrella once more. "Byulyi-ya, I-"

"What!" Byulyi exclaimed as she turned to look at him once more, the disappointment on her face evident. "What else do you have to say to me, Seokjin?! Or should I say... kayesjay?"

Seokjin stared blankly at her, as she finally called him by his alias.

"Forget not keeping your promise with me..." Byulyi yelled, as angry tears welled up in her eyes. "But what were you doing with that girl? Maybe you didn't forget about our meeting, but just decided that I wasn't as important as compared to her. Is that it?!"

Seokjin blinked a few times, before looking away, out into the pouring rain. He knew that Byulyi must have misunderstood everything - it wasn't hard to be honest, considering what she had seen Yongsun and him doing, supposedly... behind her back.

"You've misunderstood-" Seokjin bit his bottom lip. "I... she... I- we were talking business."

"Sure-" Byulyi rolled her eyes as she carried on walking, forcing Seokjin to follow along. "From the looks of it, the two of you sure looked way too chummy to be business partners."

"I-"

"Who is she, Kim Seokjin?" Byulyi stopped abruptly and looked up at him, challenging to tell her. "Hm? Why don't you try explaining yourself?"

Seokjin mumbled something under his breath. "

"I can't hear you."

"I said-" Seokjin swallowed hard as he looked up at Byulyi uneasily. "She's my first love."
