It was 9 o' clock in the evening when Hoseok hyung came in- wait, barged in my office cabin. He picked up my car's keys and motioned me towards the door. I groaned.
"Why do I have to go hyung? It's your friend!" I said throwing tantrums, wishing that he gets convinced.
"She is coming with a friend and I thought I should take my friend too." He flashed him smile and I found myself growing weak.
"I have work to do." I excused.
"Your secretary said that your all works are done for today. So don't make excuses and come with me." He said grinning and then I had to lose. I stood up and settled my dress. An idea!
"I have to meet Sung-Yon. I'm sorry, I have a date." I excused again.
"Call her there. I just don't want to be awkward with her and her friend. You call Sung-Yon there and I'll not disturb you both, I promise. Just accompany me." He said and took my hand and pulled me out.
We went in the cafe and I had called Sung-Yon there. She said she would take an hour or so to come. There were two girls sitting on a table. One waved to hyung and the other just smiled. The one who waved was quite excited, her eyes shined on seeing us... Or more specifically hyung.
"Hi Dal-Mi!" Hoseok hyung exclaimed. I just bowed my head and sat in front of the one whose name was taken. Hyung sat in front of her friend.
"Who is she Dal-Mi?" He asked pointing her friend with his eyes. She smiled and I saw a red tint on her face when his eyes fall on her. He flashed a bright smile to her and commented, "you are looking beautiful by the way!" Her cheeks turned more red. I tried to control my smile; yes, she was really looking beautiful.
"She is Seo-Ji, my bestfriend." She introduced.
"Oh, nice to meet you!" Hoseok beamed at her bestfriend.
"He is my friend, Jungkook." Hyung introduced me to them and they both softly bowed to me which I returned.
The one who turned red at his gaze looked at him with sparkles in her eyes but hyung stole glances at her bestfriend. Ugh, a love triangle, isn't it?
"I think we should order." Hyung's admirer said and everyone nodded. I looked at my watch waiting for Sung-Yon.
"I'll take the pizza!" Her bestfriend said.
"I'll take the white sauce pasta. Remember Hoseok, we always used to eat that here." The admirer said. Hyung smiled at her and nodded.
"I guess today I'll order a pizza." He smiled looking at her bestfriend. Damn boi- it's getting intriguing. Her smile dropped a bit but she nodded anyways. I choose white sauce, because I like it alot!
"I'll go and place the order." The bestfriend said and walked away to the counter. Hyung immediately turned to his admirer.
"You never told me you had such a nice friend." He asked her and she tried to put on a constant smile.
"She lived in States, came here a few weeks ago. We haven't met since then." She said and he nodded looking towards the counter.
"She is pretty." He said slowly but she heard anyway and her eyes lost the sparkles with which she looked at him.
"Sure she is." She mumbled.
"I've placed the order." The bestfriend came back and sat on her place. Throughout the time we waited for the order, hyung and her bestfriend talked about the States, it's places, it's food. And thoroughout that time, I watched how the girl infront of me eyed them with jealousy, trying to talk in their conversation, huffed in annoyance, bit her lips anxiously. I could feel her to some extent, because when Sung-Yon talked to some guys like this, I use to feel this jealousy too.
When there was a ding on the counter showing our order number, her bestfriend stood up to go to the counter.
"Let me help you too." Hyung stood up too and when he insisted, I saw the girl's eyes getting moist. I gulped. Why was she so emotional about this? She huffed and we saw them going to the counter. She swallowed her tears and tried to look anywhere but the counter.
"Do you like him that much?" I asked suddenly without me even knowing. She looked at me, and then towards the counter, and then again to me. She smiled a small smile and said,
"Is it that obvious?" I nodded. She scoffed looking away.
"The one I want to observe is-" she stopped.
I wanted to console her, I don't know why. Her eyes went towards the counter again and I could see how her moist eyes turned teary. I looked towards the counter too and I could see that hyung and that girl were secretly touching hands and shyly glancing at each other.
I looked at the girl infront of me again and her eyes were full of tears now. I thought it was not appropriate to see her weak side so I looked away clearing my throat. What did hyung pushed me in? I wished Sung-Yon to come fast so that I can have time to myself.
But the more I didn't want to look at her, the more I found myself getting concerned at how she tried to blink those tears away, how she harshly gulped and swallowed it, how she tried not to look in hyung's direction. She looked down at her lap and I tired not to get more concerned.
I heard Sung-Yon's voice. Thanks goodness! She sat next to me and leaned in to kiss me; a short quick peck because I tried not get intimate infront of a now broken girl.
"Who is she?" Sung-Yon asked me. Damn, I don't remember her name as well. I'm really bad at remembering names.
"Uh- Hoseok hyung's friend." I told her and the girl infront of me looked at us.
I cleared my throat, "she is my girlfriend, Sung-Yon." I told her and she bowed slightly at her. After sitting with her for nearly an hour, I found it rude to ask her name again so I dropped the idea.
The atmosphere became silent again. "What do you want to eat?" I asked Sung-Yon.
"What did you order?" She asked me. I told her and she agreed on sharing mine.
"Uh- I think I should leave." The girl infront of me said suddenly and kept her things in her bag. "Tell Hoseok that- that I had some urgent important work." She tried to look calm but I saw the storm in her eyes which was held up by her with all the forces she had. I bet she will go home or somewhere secluded and cry her heart out.
I didn't have any authority to stop her so I just nodded and she stormed out. Hyung came back shortly. " Where is Dal-Mi?" He asked.
Dal-Mi. Okay I'll try to remember her name now.
"She- she went away saying she had some urgent important work suddenly." He scrunched his eyebrows.
"She never works after 9.30 p.m." he said.
"I don't know hyung." I shrugged and he shrugged too.
"Maybe her personal assistant called her and told her that the finance file is found, she was really worried for that."
I just looked at hyung.... Her knew so much about her but he couldn't see those eyes which loved him so much.
