Unexpected Painful Sight (2/2)

“I’ll just stay beside you throughout the night until the party ends then and keep out of sight. Just be ready on what could happen, _______-ah.” She nods at me. I could see how determined she really is for Geun Seuk. I smiled at her. “Let’s go inside” We walked inside the hotel beside each other and went to the 3rd floor where the ball room is located. They opened the door for us and ______-ah grabs my arm. It was cold. Choo Hee was there and was saving a seat for the two of us far from the stage. Choo Hee bowed before us and we bowed too. I sat beside ______-ah and me between Choo Hee and her.**__________’S POV**“Don’t worry... We’ll keep you out of Geun Seuk’s sight” Choo Hee whispered to me as she lean forward to talk to me because Hong Ki is on the way.

“You knew?” I asked. She nods.

“Yeah. Hong Ki told me.”

“Hahahah! I see. Take care of me then.”

“No problem with that ________-ah” we laughed and we heard the emcee talked on the mic. I tried to look for Geun Seuk but he is nowhere in sight. I wonder where he is. Then, the guests clapped and stood up. And we did too. From our place, we saw Shin Hae Yoon in a long pink gown. And when she ascended the stairs, I saw Geun Seuk sits in front at the stage. He is sitting on the same table with Hae Yoon’s family. I really did not know what is happening all of a sudden. Hong Ki saw Geun Seuk joined Hae Yoon’s family too. He holds my shoulder and I looked at him, then I look at Geun Seuk again. He was laughing with her family. Those sights that I am seeing hurt me so much. Geun Seuk could laugh with them but he is so cold towards me. He could communicate with them without any coldness at all. The guests returned to their seats and I saw Hae Yoon in front of the mic. Smiling cutely in front of the people. “Thank you for attending my birthday party. I am really happy. And tonight, for this special occasion, I want you to meet another special person in my life. But for now, please enjoy the food and I’ll let you meet that person later” She bowed and smiled at everyone before returning back on her seat on the stage. The guests couldn’t stop whispering. I do not have any clue on what she’s talking about. I wanted to find an answer on why Geun Seuk was there, so close with that girl’s family.“Are you okay, _______-ah?” Hong Ki asked me. I nod.

“Yeah. Is Geun Seuk’s family and Hae Yoon’s family close?”

“__________-ah...” Hong Ki seems hesitating. “I am not sure but I know this is the first time Geun Seuk meet Hae Yoon’s family”

“Oh... I see” I turned my head away. So this is the first time. I am starting worry. I really do not know what is happening now. I excused myself and went to the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and I went to the sink in front of the mirror. I washed my hands and I stared at myself.“If you did not realized your feelings towards Geun Seuk, you’re not going to feel anything but hate towards that girl because of being fake in front of her family” I told myself, shaking my head. “Stupid ___________.” I laughed sarcastically.**HONG KI’S POV** _________-ah excused herself and went in to the bathroom. She was consuming a lot of time in there again. When she does that something happens. Something’s revealed. Then I saw, Hae Yoon stood up from her seat. She went to the mic again and started speaking as the guests eat.“Everyone, may I have your attention please. I think it is about time that you meet my special someone” Everyone whispers loudly and claps. Hae Yoon looks at everybody smiling. “Jang Geun Seuk!” She said excitedly. Choo Hee and I looked at each other. Choo Hee doesn’t know the real color of Hae Yoon. I know she knows what happened in the past but only the part where Hae Yoon turned down Geun Seuk but the story she know is different from the one I know. I stood up. I saw Geun Seuk ascend the stairs. The same poise and serious face he has. He stood beside Hae Yoon and she was standing beside him, happily. I sighed deeply. “Everyone, this is my boyfriend, Jang Geun Seuk!” Everyone claps.

“Give us a kiss!” A guy’s voice shouted.

“Yeah!” Others seconded. Hae Yoon was smiling and Geun Seuk was really pissed off. Then I remembered ________-ah, the thing she told me a while ago before we entered the hotel.“Yeah. I think I like him”

“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” Those words. I walked away. I must not let ______-ah hear all of this. She had enough of that sight. Geun Seuk with her family. Geun Seuk laughing with them and communicating with them. I walked to the left side of the ballroom where the rest rooms are located. Then, I bumped in to someone accidentally. It was ______-ah. She raised her head. “Hong Ki-yah! Sorry!”**JANG GEUN SEUK’S POV** I was standing there beside Hae Yoon. I really do not like the idea of her calling me her boyfriend. But I need to do this if I want to protect ________-ah. Then I heard a guy shouted.“Give us a Kiss!” Darn! I’ll not go that far. I saw Hae Yoon smiling. And everyone on their seats seconded on the idea. Hae Yoon turned to me and I turned to her.“I am not doing this.” I whispered to her. She put her face nearer to mine.

“See that phone over my table? One call for my guys and _______-ah will be done for. Who knows what I can do with her” She told me whispering back and grinned. She pulled collar and before I knew it, our lips overlapped each other. I do not know what I am doing now. I just wanted that to end ASAP! It’s a good thing _______-ah’s not here to see this. This will make feel bad again. And I do not want that to happen.**_________’S POV** I bumped in to someone and I raised my head. It was Hong Ki. “Hong Ki-yah! Why? Sorry!”

“It’s ok” Then I heard guests wailed in excitement. Then, I turned to the stage. What I saw made my eyes widened, and heart ache. I could feel tears forming in to my eyes, my vision started to blur because of the tears. Then Hong Ki pulled me on to him. Letting my head rest on his chest, keeping me from enduring those painful sights. I sobbed, I could feel my tears fall on my cheeks. That kiss... Did Geun Seuk really do that? Then after a while, Hong Ki let go of me and I looked at him as I continue to sob.“I’ll go home first, Hong Ki-yah.” I smiled but I know he knows that I am not ok.

“Then, I’ll go with you.” I shook my head.

“I’ll go alone and you enjoy the party. After all, if is stay longer, Geun Seuk might see me.”

“Are you okay to be alone?” I nod.

“I am going to be okay. I’ll call you later” I walked away and did not look back. I went out of the ball room and completely left the hotel. It was raining outside. My tears fall again and I was crying really hard.*It’s so cruel, I cannot believe I am feeling this* I cried. I do not care how hard the rain was. I walked away. Without any shield for the rain. I continued to walk; I do not want to go home. I want to calm myself down. I do not want Jung Su-oppa to see me like this. I want to go someplace tonight except home.
