Chapter 7:: Difficulties
Author's POV:
"This belongs to Mr Kim..." You let out before taking the coat.
"Whose?" Your mother asked as you shook your head.
"A friend's." You spoke as your mom looked at you confused.
"You have friends other than Mina?! Who??" She asked as you coughed looking at her offended.
"Mom! I have friends! And this... belongs to- a... good friend. Yeah." You spoke thinking about your 'good' friend as a chuckle escaped your lips. You took the coat before going back to your room.
"Ah, I almost forgot about this coat. I already threw away one of his coats- I should return this one safely." You spoke even though you remembered how he told you that you didn't have to return his coats. You couldn't be in that situation even though he was being kind.
"I will return it to him in office." You said smiling a little before storing it in a cute bag. Keeping it aside, you picked up your phone which was ringing.
"Hello Y/N!" Hyunjin spoke as you smiled replying, "Hii! Why did you call?" You heard a chuckle from the other side making you a little confused.
"I might come within today. So, I decided to inform you beforehand. Oh also, my friends from school are coming with me." He spoke as you hummed replying, "Oh! Okay! We'll meet soon then~"
You spent some time having a casual conversation with him before hanging up.
"He's coming back." You said to yourself smiling a little.
"I wonder when we'll have an actual engagement." You asked yourself before plopping on the bed smiling to yourself.
Taehyung's POV:
I sighed before closing my laptop. All the work related to the company was done. Can't believe I am working on a holiday! I should be dating at this age and I am working as a CEO... what luck!
Getting up from the desk, I brewed some coffee for myself before resting on the couch looking at my phone. There's nothing special to look at. Suddenly, I saw a post notification on Instagram.
'@y/n_20 has posted 1 minute ago.'
I clicked on Instagram before seeing the post. It was the pictures of today. I chuckled seeing her selfies.
"Cute." I muttered before liking the post. I realized I was also tagged. Sliding, I saw a picture of me and her. Well, she posted a single with everyone.
I screenshotted the picture she clicked with me before quitting the app. Resting on the couch, I sipped my coffee before chuckling thinking about her.
---Next day || In a cafe
"Y/N!" Hyunjin called as you waved at him. He came towards you before greeting you as you greeted him back.
"How was your journey?" You asked as he told you about it as you both took a seat.
"How is your friend?" You asked as he replied, "He's better now. He came with us to kind of get rid of the depressing moment."
"I am honestly extremely sorry for not being able to talk to you properly during my visit to Jeju. The connection there wasn't very good and I was busy. I hope you don't misunderstand." He spoke as you smiled nodding.
You didn't misunderstand, you knew he'd do anything but be disloyal or lie. Even if he didn't like you truly, he'd still never hurt you. Because that's the type of guy he was.
"Ah, and our old classmates are coming soon." He spoke as you nodded smiling. A while later, some people entered the cafe grabbing your attention. You realized they were your old classmates.
You smiled brightly seeing them come towards you both but you became confused seeing a particular face coming towards you with a happy look. Jung Mirae.
Jung Mirae, 23 years old, has a living charisma and beauty. But no, she wasn't bitchy like any others, rather a sweet and pretty girl both inside and out. But you were never able to befriend her in high school. Nor was she a friend of any other classmates you knew, then what was she doing in here?
---Flashback of your high school years
"Y/N!!" Mina called as you looked at her confused.
"Look! Mirae!" She said as you looked behind to see her enter. Every boy in the class started lining up for her with flowers in their hands except for one guy, Hyunjin. He was minding his own business, not like he was interested in the beauties of the school anyway.
You didn't bother about Mirae because you were busy admiring Hyunjin but you saw Mirae approaching him making you frown.
She liked him, it was obvious. She never really cared about any guys but Hyunjin. But you weren't jealous, since you knew Hyunjin wasn't into girls but rather books and moreover, you weren't that crazy over Hyunjin to become over-possessive. It was just a healthy crush.
"She is kind but never befriends people. Rather sticks to Hyunjin." Mina spoke scoffing as you replied, "Who doesn't like Hyunjin?"
---End Of Flashback
"Hi Y/N." She spoke as you looked at her confused. How did she even know your name?
"Ah, hi?" You greeted her back smiling awkwardly. She chuckled before saying, "I heard about you from Hyunjin. You both are getting married right?" You nodded.
"Yeah.." You spoke as the others started making jokes and stuff.
You looked at Mirae and noticed her features. She didn't change at all.
"Is she a vampire..." You muttered not knowing Hyunjin heard you. He looked at you before chuckling at your silliness. Mirae noticed you both and looked down smiling.
Everyone was talking and chatting as you listened to them. You really didn't have much to say. True, they were your alumni but you didn't have much to say to them or talk about. It was rather awkward and you just wanted to escape. That's what happens when you don't socialize in school enough.
Suddenly, you got a phone call. Mr Kim Taehyung. You looked at the caller ID and a sigh left your lips. Every time you got reminded of him, all you could think of was how clumsy and silly a human can be. You excused yourself before picking up the call grabbing Hyunjin's attention.
"Hello?" You spoke.
"Hello. I am Mr Kim Taehyung speaking from Yeontan road, D7 wishing to have an informal conversation with Ms Eun Y/N of Mint Choco Road, E9." You heard a speech in a robotic voice. Not being able to hold in anymore, you laughed out loud completely done with his silliness.
"Yes. It's Eun Y/N speaking from Mint Choco Road E2 and not E9. Thank you." You spoke earning a groan from the other side.
"I forgot!" He spoke as you sighed.
"Why did you call me, Mr Kim?" You asked as he replied, "Woah! That tone change was too fast." He spoke as you sighed speaking, "I am actually busy. Is it important?" You asked looking behind to see everyone chatting.
"Why busy?" He asked as you replied, "Hyunjin came back. So we're at a cafe with our old classmates meeting up."
"Oh." He spoke, disappointment laced in his voice making you furrow your brows.
"Why?" You asked as he replied, "Nothing. See you then. I just called. Seems like you don't want to talk to me. Enjoy well." He spoke in one go hanging up as you looked at the phone before sighing in confusion.
"He's too weird." You spoke before chuckling walking back. But you were still curious about why he reacted like that.
"Funny how we shipped Mirae and Hyunjin so much but he is ending up with Y/N who was completely out of the frame!" A guy spoke from the table which reached your ears.
You were smiling but it flattened hearing what the others were talking about. You figured they didn't notice you behind. Hyunjin was scrolling the phone not really paying attention.
--At Taehyung's home || Taehyung's POV:
"Why does her fiance bother me so much?" I asked myself before sighing. No matter how much I think about it, that Hyunjin guy definitely bothers me. He shouldn't bother me though... what's with you Kim Taehyung?!
Author's POV:
"See you!"
"Yeah! Meet you tomorrow!"
Everyone left except for you, Mirae and Hyunjin. You were standing there talking to your aunt who was trying her best to pursue you to come to her house right now since it was the last day of the weekend. You hung up before going towards Hyunjin.
"Let me drop you off?" He asked as you replied, "It's okay! I am actually going to my aunt's house from here. And I should take a bus from here, it's pretty far. Plus, you did some journey so rest!" You spoke as he looked at you before smiling.
"Okay then... go well!" He spoke as you smiled nodding.
"Ah... Hyunjin." You both suddenly heard a voice. Looking behind Hyunjin, you saw Mirae standing there with a disappointed look on her face.
"Can you give me a ride? My house is just on the way to yours. I would've called a cab but the app's not working." She spoke as Hyunjin looked at her cluelessly. You looked at her and then Hyunjin who was looking at you with an awkward and uncomfortable look on his face.
"I can just call a cab for he-" He was speaking but his phone rang suddenly, it was his mom. He looked at you picking it up.
"It's okay! Give her a ride if she needs it. I will go now. See you!" You said waving as he looked down before waving back.
After talking to his mom, he glanced at Mirae who was sitting before sighing walking towards the car.
"Stop now. Will you?" He said to Mirae who looked at him innocently.
"What?" She asked as he clenched his fists before getting in the car driving while ignoring her. A while later, he reached Mirae's home and as she was getting off, he spoke, "I know we were friends once. But never more than that. And I know who you truly are, Jung Mirae. So stop." before driving off leaving the girl dumbfounded.
It was true Mirae was a kind girl. But liking Hyunjin made her possessive over him. Though all these years, it wasn't much of that, after being in Jeju as she met Hyunjin again, she couldn't help but fancy him all over. And now knowing he was engaged, she still couldn't stop, clueless to the fact Hyunjin knew it all.
---At night || In a park
"Yeah, aunt. Sorry. I will come later!" You said before hanging up. You cancelled your plans of going to your aunt's house. You were in no mood too after all.
You closed your eyes feeling the air while sitting on the swing. You felt a little insecure about Mirae. Your feelings for Hyunjin weren't that deep but he was still your fiance. And you cared about him and respected him as your fiancee.
But ever since high school, no matter how cool you were about Mirae, at times, her kindness and perfection got to you. You're a human too after all. You couldn't help but feel a little small in front of a popular girl like her. And those guys' remarks were also a cherry on the top.
"I know Hyunjin is perfect. But why do I feel so small in front of him?" You asked yourself but your eyes enlargened a little as you looked back hearing a voice.
"Have an ice cream when you feel sad."
