20th Chapter (1/1)

“Do you think your parents are going to be pissed?” Hyoyeon asked me as we crept into our apartment early the next morning.“No, they most probably won’t even notice we aren’t there.” I lied.“I’m glad you wanted to leave early as well.” Hyoyeon sighed. “I’ve got a splitting headache.”“Me too.” I sighed and rubbed my forehead. “I didn’t want to deal with any of them this morning.”“Yeah, me either.” She yawned. “It was a good idea to wake me up at four am so we could get out of there before anyone woke up, but I’m still tired.”“Are you saying you want to go back to bed?” I laughed and she nodded.“I wasn’t sure if you wanted to talk about what happened last night.” She collapsed onto the couch.“What do you mean?”“I know something happened between you and Yifan after we got back.”“How?”“I just do.” She wrapped her arms around her legs. “Now are you going to tell me or do I have to tickle you?”“Oh Hyo.” I groaned and sat down on the couch next to her. “It’s such a mess.”“Oh no, what happened?” She looked at me with big eyes. “You didn’t sleep with him again did you?”“No,” I shook my head. “We were in the backyard, Hyo.”“Did you give him a blowjob?”“No Hyo.” I rolled my eyes.“Did he go down on you?”“Nothing like that.” I giggled. “He told me that he’s raising money to help people in Africa so they can have clean drinking water.” I sighed. “He’s a really good man. Not as much of a jerk as I thought.”“Huh?” She sat up. “I’m sorry, but what? I’m confused. Why is that bad? Isn’t that good? You found out that the guy you had a one night stand with is actually a really decent person.”“It should be good right?” I groaned. “But it’s not good, that’s why he’s marrying Hani. Supposedly by marrying her, he can gain access to more money at his family company and help more people or something.”“So why can’t he just marry you then?” She shrugged. “Why does it have to be Hani? I’m sure his grandfather didn’t say, you have to marry the biggest bitch you can find.”“Oh Hyo.” I giggled. “I think he feels a sense of obligation to her.”“Hmm, okay.” Hyoyeon frowned. “So his problem is that he’s too nice a guy?”“I guess.” I leaned back and sighed. “Though I don’t know anyone that would call Yifan a nice guy. Sexy, yes. Hot as hell, yes. Good in bed, yes, but nice? I don’t know.” I giggled.“Yeah, I wouldn’t call him nice.” Hyoyeon said. “More like jerk.”“So yeah, he said that he had a good time last weekend and that he missed me when I wasn’t there in the morning and that he wasn’t used to those feelings and that is why he proposed to Hani.”“What?” Hyoyeon yawned and made a face. “Shut the front door! That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. He spent a night with a hot girl, having hot sex and because she left in the morning, he decided to propose to another girl? Is he on drugs?”“When you put it like that, it does sound a bit stupid.” I sighed. “But he explained it better, he said it was because he wasn’t used to having that depth of feelings.”“What depth of feelings?” Hyoyeon looked at me like I was crazy. “Look, I’m not trying to be a bitch here and tell me if I’m getting something wrong, but all you guys did is fuck. He went down on you at the wedding and then you guys spent a night in his hotel room fucking like dogs right?”“Yes.” I nodded.“Were there any late night deep conversations you didn’t tell me about? Did you realize you were soulmates?”“We spoke a little bit, but nothing major.” I conceded, as my heart dropped. “So you think he was lying to me?”“I don’t know.” She sighed. “It just seems weird. ‘I had sex with you and you left and that made me sad’ sounds fake. I think most guys would wake up feeling ecstatic if the girl they had just picked up was not there.”“Yeah, that’s true.” I sighed.“And I mean, he’s still with Hani right? Did he say he would end things with her?”“Nope.” I said curtly. “He said he hoped I understood, but they had a bussines relationship”“Bullshit.” She said and rolled her eyes. “He’s full of shit.”“Yeah, I guess so.” I closed my eyes. “So that’s why I wanted to leave this morning before everyone woke up.”“I understand.” She said softly and reached over to hug me. “I’m sorry, Hyuna.” She rubbed my back and before I knew it, I was crying. The tears poured out of me and I sobbed uncontrollably.“I’m sorry,” I hiccupped as she rubbed my back.“Don’t be.” She said softly. “It’s okay.”“I feel like such a fool. I don’t know why I had my hopes up so high. I don’t know why I thought this would be anything different.” I spoke my th
