CHAPTER XIII (1/1)

About two weeks later, Kyuhyun searched for Seohyun again but Sooyoung and Yuri said that Seohyun and Yoona went to the other school since Seohyun was invited to the seminar there and Seohyun invited Yoona along. Kyuhyun asked them where the school was but none of them knew it. It’s been two weeks since Kyuhyun last saw Seohyun and he really hated these days. m style="text-align:justify;">‘Of all days, why must be these days when I have problem with her that we can’t meet each other?’ And so, Kyuhyun decided to just wait for Seohyun at her house. Kyuhyun was in his car waiting for Seohyun to come home in front of her house. He already waited for two hours but Seohyun hasn’t come home. His patient began to disappear and so, he took his cell phone to call Changmin. “Changmin-ah, do you know if Yoona has already go home or not?” “Huh? Why are you looking for Yoona?” “Just answer my question!” “No, I don’t know about her Kyu, sorry.” “Ok, thanks.” Then, Kyuhyun ended the phone call. Kyuhyun still looked at Seohyun’s house and still, Seohyun hasn’t come home. ‘I’ll wait a little more.’***Meantime, at the café,Yoona: “Is it Kyu Oppa?”Changmin: (put his cell phone back to his pocket) “Ye, I lie to my best friend just because of you Yoong.”Yoona: “Well, I’m just helping my best friend also, Oppa.”Changmin: “Why is she avoiding Kyu? Is Kyu do something wrong?”Yoona: (played with her coffee straw) “I don’t know about it either. At first, I want to ask you, Oppa, since I thought that you know about it.”Changmin: (shrugged his shoulder) “I don’t know anything about it.”Yoona: (thought for awhile) “Oppa! Do you think Kyuhyun Oppa likes Seohyun?”Changmin: (drank his coffee) “Huh? Why do you ask that?”Yoona: “Well, maybe if Kyuhyun Oppa likes Seohyun and Seohyun also likes him, Seohyun will have the reason to avoid him. I know Seohyun for such a long time and I know that she didn’t plan to be in love at this moment.”Changmin: (thought for awhile) “Hmm … I guess there’s possibility that Kyuhyun likes her. Kyu rarely teases girls and be nice to them except she is something to him. Maybe, Kyuhyun is nice to Seohyun since he likes her and he is nice to you since you are Seohyun’s best friend. Yeah, for now, only the two of you that seems close to him.”Yoona: (snapped her finger) “How about we help them Oppa?”Changmin: (confused) “Help them?”Yoona: “Yeah, we help them so that the both of them can realize their feeling toward each other. I guess Kyuhyun Oppa already realizes about it but the thing is Seohyun. She never experienced this and I guess she will be in denial right now.”Changmin: (smiled cheekily) “Hey hey! We are helping them? Then, how about us? Will they help us?”Yoona: (confused) “Eh? What do you mean Oppa?”Changmin: (pointed towards him and Yoona repeatedly) “Us?”Yoona: (blushed) “There is no us Oppa!”Changmin: (giggled) “Then, why are you blushing?”Yoona: (turned her head away) “I am not!”Changmin: “You’re totally blushing, Yoong!”Yoona: “I am not Oppa! Stop teasing me, won’t you?”Changmin: (held Yoona’s chin and turned it around to face him) (advanced the body so that their faces were so close) “I will if you stop blushing.” (smirked)Yoona: (blushed to the maximum) “OPPA!”***Seohyun was walking towards her house when she spotted unfamiliar silver BMW car parked in front of her house. She didn’t remember whether she had friend with such car and so, she just continued to walk approaching her house. Just when she was about to enter her house, she heard a voice called her name. She really didn’t expect to hear this voice since she was avoiding him. Seohyun: (turned around to face Kyuhyun) “Oppa? What are you doing here?”Kyuhyun: (approached Seohyun and talked a bit loud due to annoyance) “You need that long to go back from that school? Which school do you go?”Seohyun: (stayed calm) “It’s none of your business Oppa. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m tired and I want to rest.”Then, Seohyun turned around to enter her house. However, Kyuhyun grabbed her wrist and turned her around so that she was facing him.Kyuhyun: “What’s with the cold act, huh?”Seohyun: “What do you mean?”Kyuhyun: (irritated) “Did that stupid turtle do something wrong? I’ve told you that it has nothing to do with me!”Seohyun: (shouted due to irritated) “YA, pabo! How can I get mad to you just because of a little turtle?”Kyuhyun: (spoke innocently) “Everything is possible.”Seohyun: “Stop talking non-sense, Oppa.”Kyuhyun: “Then, why are you changing?”Seohyun: (took a deep breath) “Oppa, let’s just stop being nice to each other. Let us back to the time when both of us are strangers. It’s better that way … sunbae.”Kyuhyun: (shocked) “W-what are you talking?”Seohyun: “I’m tired sunbae. Please, just go home and let me alone. I need some rest.”Seohyun released her wrist from Kyuhyun and turned around but Kyuhyun grabbed her wrist again and turned her around. He gripped her wrist even tighter. Their eyes were now stared at each other and sadness and pain could be seen from their eyes.Kyuhyun: “You’re not going home unless you explain everything to me.”Seohyun: (shouted) “What do I need to explain? You’re not my parents nor my friends nor my boyfriends so I don’t have any obligation to explain to you!”Kyuhyun: (smiled weakly) “Huh … so … I means nothing to you? Not even friends?”Seohyun: (lowered her head) “You’re a good sunbae … but sorry.”Seohyun released her hand from Kyuhyun’s and wanted to go inside her house but her footsteps were stopped when she heard Kyuhyun’s words.Kyuhyun: “Is there … by any chance … that you’re in love with me?”Seohyun: (shocked) “Bwoh?”Kyuhyun: (looked at Seohyun straight in the eyes) “Yoona said … that maybe you do this … is because you’re afraid … to fall in love.”Seohyun: (avoided Kyuhyun’s gaze) “…”Kyuhyun: “It’s right huh?”Seohyun: “…”Kyuhyun: (said softly) “What’s wrong with fall in love Hyunnie?”Seohyun: “Stop calling me with that sweet voice of yours. I don’t need love at this young age and I don’t fall in love with you.”Kyuhyun: “I-,”Seohyun: (looked towards Kyuhyun) “Stop disturbing me, sunbae. Now, I really want to take a rest and I guess it’s late already. My parents probably already wait for me inside.”Then, Seohyun went inside her house. When she was about to close the door, she could hear Kyuhyun shouted to her. “I won’t give up Hyunnie-ah. I won’t!” Seohyun just tried to hold her tears and closed the door behind her. She then was sat against the door while crying. She never wanted to have her senior high school time like this. She never expected that she would fall in love. She admitted now that she has fell in love with Kyuhyun. However, what choice did she have? Victoria has reminded her to stay away from Kyuhyun or else, her scholarship would be drop. She clearly did not want to crush her parent’s hope on her just for love. On the other hand, she also felt pain when she saw the sadness on Kyuhyun’s eyes. She really hated to be the reason of Kyuhyun’s sadness. She only wanted Kyuhyun to smile, just seeing Kyuhyun smiled already made her felt better. “I’m sorry … I’m sorry Oppa.” Then, she continued to cry.***
