Unexpected Painful Sight (1/2)

**_______’S POV** I went down to see if Geun Seuk already left and he is. I was already wearing my brown outfit and my hair stayed as it is. I dialed to my phone and Hong Ki answered it.“Hong Ki-yah! You can go in now” I gave him my cue. We hung up and I went back to my room to get my bag. When I went downstairs, I saw Hong Ki and Jung Su-oppa downstairs by the door. Jung Su-oppa was just staring at Hong Ki as he tries to avoid my Oppa’s scary stares.“Jung Su-oppa! I called while I travel down the stairs. The two of them turned to me and did not speak. They were just staring at me, dumbfounded. I stopped infront of them and looked at both of them. “Yah!” I shouted. “Do not stare at me like that both of you?! Do you think I feel comfortable wearing this?!” I exclaimed.

“All right… All right… Whatever. I just cannot believe how really cute you are” My brother told me as he pushed me out of the house together with Hong Ki, “Take care, you two” Then he slammed the door shut.

“Aisht” I turned to Hong Ki beside me and he’s not looking at me. He was so nervous that he was sweating like hell. “Yah… Are you okay?” I asked and he nod. “Anyways, I am sorry about my brother. Let’s go then?” He nods again. He walked before me and I followed him, wondering what was wrong.**LEE HONG KI’S POV** Okay! ___________-ah is just so freaking cute with that outfit. When I saw her went down the stairs, suddenly I could feel my heart pounding and my face becoming as red as an apple. I tried to look away but my face won’t. It seems her brother was affected by her charm and cuteness, too. And she was so dense as ever, ignoring how nervous I am at that time. I was driving as she sits beside me. My eyes are on the road but my mind is still stuck on that cuteness. I shook my head and she seems to noticed.“Hong Ki-yah… Are you ok?” _______-ah touched my forehead and I looked away.

“I am fine…” I replied, nervously.

“Are you sure? You are not having a fever, are you?”

“No” I replied.

“Oh. That’s good then” She sighed and she said something again that made me comfortable all of a sudden. “Hong Ki-yah… It’s ok. Don’t be nervous. I am just ________-ah” She smiled at me and I turned to the road again. She was aware of it. Of course she is. After all, other people may feel like this towards her and she’s already aware of it. I smiled as I drive. *She’s right, Hong Ki. She’s just _______-ah. No need to panic* I parked my car just outside the hotel where the party is taking place. I went out of the car and _______-ah did too.“This is it, Hong Ki-yah! You have to get me covered, ok?” She smiled at me.

“And now you owe me an explanation about this.” I told her as I lean on car’s hood and she did the same.

“Hmmmm… Can I explain later?” She looked at me with her puppy eyes. I smiled and answered.

“No” while shaking my head. She pouted.

“Ok then, here goes.” She sighed deeply and turned her head away from me and stared at the horizon before she continued explaining. “Geun Seuk-ah doesn’t want me to come and I feel so weird about that sudden change of decision so I decided to go without him knowing. And I think that Hae Yoon has got something to do about it. I am worried about Geun Seuk, too. But…”

“But….?” I waited for the continuation.

“Do you think this is correct? I mean, I do not want him to get hurt because of Hae Yoon but all this time, all he wanted was to be with Hae Yoon, I think I am giving him a hard time” She bowed her head and I put my arm around her neck.

“Yah! Why are you so afraid that he might get hurt again and going this far just to check on him. You are very worried for him now, aren’t you? Do you like him?” I said, but I was just joking, teasing her a bit on that “like” part.

“Yeah. I think I like him” She looked at me and I can’t say anything. “You know… It’s not something as friendship. I really thought about it hard since my brother told me something that made me realized this. Hong Ki-yah… I really like Geun Seuk-ah, but I am afraid to admit it” I let go of her neck and I just stood there. My heart was aching and I couldn’t do anything. This girl really treats me only as her friend, confessing her feelings just like this on me. I smiled faintly.

“Maybe you do love him, _______-ah.” She nods.

“Hong Ki-yah... I’m scared.” she told me. I could see it in her eyes that she was really scared of something that might happen in inside. She is afraid of everything that could happen. One is, Geun Seuk could be hurt again, this time, could cause him to forget comepletely about the real him. Second, is that Geun Seuk will accept Hae Yoon even though he knows what she wants because he still loves her.

“I kind of realized now the feelings of people that confess to me and experienced one-sided love” She laughed but you can see the worries.
