TRIFLES OF LOVE

Encounter and Misunderstanding

Back in high school, Joon-Woo was the most important person in Su-Ho’s life, he has been the person she had experienced all sorts of emotions…..now, he had returned, eight years after he disappeared without even saying goodbye.

Moreover how could he be proposing at the wrong time and location, and also to the wrong person.

“Joon-Woo stop it; we are not children anymore.”

Su-Ho voice sounded hoarse as she turned her face away from him.

“ I’m not joking around” Joon-Woo stared at Su-Ho familiar face as he reiterated.

“so you’re just messing with my emotions?

Are you enjoying yourself? Su-Ho smile dryly, noticing the despair in her own voice.

“I’m not.”

“So, you’re telling me that you are serious?”

Su-Ho burst out into laughter as she looked at him; is this some kind of a joke? Finding him ridiculous

“Joon-Woo didn’t reply, but his expression said it all.

Su-Ho took a deep breath in and out. She then pointed her finger at him “fine repeat what you just said.”

“Su-Ho let’s get married.”

Joon-Woo listen carefully, I am getting married, but not to you. You need to wake up from your dream, because it’s never gonna happen between us. Don’t you remember me saying that even if all the men in this world dies, and it remains only you?

Am still never gonna get back together with you? Just so you know, you are the only person I have ever hated. You hurt me so much, you almost destroy my life, I despise you. But it seems you will never understand how I felt because you are not me.

So, please we both have our own lives now, I have a boyfriend who loves me more than anything in this whole wide world. So, can you please stop bothering me and leave, I don’t ever want to set my eyes on you again.

And do you want to know how I feel about you? “ to me you’re not worth spending the rest of my life with so, I would rather go on with my life without you in it.

“Su-Ho made herself clear, she turned around to go back into her apartment.”

However, Joon-Woo grabbed her hand forcefully..

“Let go of me! Joon what else do you want from me? Su-Ho barely finished her sentence before Joon-Woo pulled her close and lock her lips between his.

“He kissed her so hard that, she starts to remember how she kissed those lips with smile eight years ago, for a second Su-Ho felt extremely comfortable and familiar with the lips. tears welled up in her eyes as memories flashed by.”

Su-Ho was surprised at herself.” She began to curse in her head. Su-Ho are you crazy?it seems you are enjoying this moment, have you forgotten what this man did to you back then?.

He’s a bad man, why are you wasting your time with him? You’re about to get married to Baek Hyeon now! Su-Ho suddenly came back to her senses at the thought of this and pushed Joon-Woo away.

“Joon-Woo get away from me, or else am gonna scream for help!” Su-Ho threatened him as she was so confused.

Yet, Joon-Woo didn’t seem to hear her as he dragged her into his arms, Unwilling to let go.

He dragged her tightly as if he has finally had her as his bride. Joon-Woo is not a man of many words; he was happy just to be able to hold Su-Ho in his arms. He had only one goal when he came back which is no one will ever break them up again.

Just then, Su-Ho heard a familiar voice behind her. “ what do you think you are doing?.

****

Startled Su-Ho turned around. Standing not really far from them was Baek Hyeon her boyfriend.

He seemed like one who has just ended his night shift. In his hands were Su-Ho favorite snacks and drinks.

Su-Ho mind finally snapped back into focus, pushing Joon-Woo away from her. She immediately explained, hyeon it….it’s really not what you think . Please don’t misunderstand let me explain okay!.

“ fine. Am listening! Explain”

Surprisingly calm Baek Hyeon glanced at Su-Ho then his gazed shifted towards Joon-Woo was standing behind Su-Ho. His eyes were filled with curiosity. Baek Hyeon knew Su-Ho very well and didn’t think she is the type to mess around with guys.

She barely even use WeChat, and her daily schedule is a beeline between home and work. She was an honest and trustworthy woman, so therefore, he believed that there had to be a reason behind the scene he has just witnessed.

“Before Su-Ho could opened her mouth and explain the whole situation to Baek Hyeon. Joon-Woo suddenly opened his mouth and spoke out, Su-Ho is mine!”

Upon hearing these words Su-Ho felt like her head was about to explode.

She never thought something like this could happen to her, she has never for once imagine it like this. She suddenly felt like this was some kind of a joke from a comic book.

Having heard this declaration, the familiar tenderness drained away from Baek Hyeon eyes.

It was replaced with an icy chilled.

“ Joon-Woo what the hell are you talking about?”

Su-Ho first you tell me, who is he? Baek Hyeon asked pointing his finger at Joon-Woo with unpleasant expression on his face.

“ Baek listen to me. He's just.......my...high school classmate.”Su-Ho voice wavered as she spoke. Indeed she wasn't lying Joon-Woo was her classmate for two years back in high school.

“ Su-Ho we are more than just classmates right?why don't you tell him how we kissed just now?

Joon-Woo said cruelly.”a naughty smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Having heard this. Baek Hyeon expression changed, he felt his whole body going numb..

“I didn't.” Su-Ho struggled to explain the distorted truth.

“Su-Ho, don’t lie. You can’t lie about this when my scent is still on your lips.”Joon-Woo reached out and brushed his finger across Su-Ho lips in a provocative manner.

While brushing his hands on her lips, he looked at Baek Hyeon again.

“ You are Su-Ho boyfriend, but has she ever told you about her past?” Joon-Woo asked.

Her past? Baek Hyeon thought in surprise. It was true Su-Ho has never for once mentioned her past to him. Aside from the fact that she is a close friend with si -u, she has never attended any reunion event that's why he never ask her about it either.

“What!! You really don't know?hasn’t she ever mentioned that, eight years ago that there was this man she loves wholeheartedly?”

That person was me. Su-Ho felt the old wound in her chest long healed, tearing open again.

“Su-Ho tell me is what he said really true?” baek voice was cold it was no longer holding a hint of warmth.

Su-Ho was short of words, she doesn't even know where to begin from. Baek let me explain..
