Episode 4: The Invitation



A month later...


Haewon POVs


It has been a month since Jaehyun decided to leave me. And I've been trying to forget that guy for a month. But the result is still zero. Jaehyun was still circling in my mind without leaving. And it's been a month since I was messed with by Chanyeol's sister who is getting married to her boyfriend who she has been dating for two years.


Two years. And they got married.


While me?


What's the point of being together for four years but it turns out that Jaehyun and I aren't meant to be at the same stop? After all, it seems like I'm the only one fighting here. I never saw Jaehyun fighting for me the slightest thing.


"Sister, here's the invitation." I said while giving an invitation that had been completed in print. Brother Chanyeol seems satisfied with the results of the invitation. Yeah, I'm also not too shy to recommend my friend who owns an invitation printing business.


I was about to go to my room, today's lecture just made my head hurt. I need a break. But Chanyeol called me and told me to sit next to him. He wrote down a few names on his invitation and then gave them to me.


"Poor well. Ask them to come." Brother Chanyeol said, I nodded as I carried the invitation to my room. Oh my goodness, I need to get some rest.


Seohaea. Oh yes, Brother Chanyeol has known Seohae for a long time because the girl often eats at Kak Chanyeol's restaurant. And sometimes he helps me there. She's a good girl.


Mark's. Why was this boy given an invitation when his house was side by side? Wasting money only. Mark if not invited will definitely come, he is after the food.


Suho. Chen. Kyungsoo's. Sehun's. Kai. Xiumine. Baekhyun's. Lay's. Irene. Suck-up. Joy. Yeri. Wendy. Geez why should I also give this invitation to Kak Chanyeol's squad? Oh gosh. After all, they were busy with their work. Not to mention Lay who is abroad and Kyungsoo Kak as well as Xiumin Kak are carrying out their mandatory military service.


Jaehyuns.


Wait for.


Jaehyuns.


Jaehyuns.


Jaehyuns.


My eyes are okay, right? I didn't read it wrong, did I?


The invitation I held with Jaehyun's name on it fell. Is it possible that the Jaehyun that Brother Chanyeol meant was my former lover Jaehyun? Jung Jaehyun broke his own heart?


"Well, don't be that serious. Here I help you clean up." Mark's. I was used to his character suddenly appearing before me and suddenly disappearing from before me.


Mark is seen mentioning the names listed on his invitation while occasionally nodding. Mark is familiar with Kak Chanyeol's squad because he is often invited non-krong together.


"I got an invitation too?" Ask. See, even Mark was lazy to be given an invitation. The man said that the invitation paper must have made a wedge of his desk at home.


"Jaehyun too?" The man asked again. I immediately took all the invitations out of Mark's hands.


"Hey, are you okay?" And I would love to answer. I'm not okay.


"Yeah, I have to contact these people to get the invitation to them in time. Geez, I don't think I have the numbers of Kak Yeri and Kak Kyungsoo oh let alone that man surnamed Jung. Well, what's the name I forgot." I said while scrolling my phone screen. Searching for the number and pretending not to have it is only to divert Mark's conversation towards Jaehyun.


"Jung Jaehyun's. If you can't, let me." Her speech. It was my wish to refuse and let Mark give Kak Chanyeol's invitation to Jaehyun. But it feels hard, and prestige. I just wanted to see if I was okay without that guy.


"Sure. I'll see Seohae tonight. Wanna come?" I asked, I would like to see him tonight and I would like to give you this invitation. Mark nodded and he said he would come with us.


"But can I borrow your phone for a minute?" Ask Mark. I gave it to him for free. After all, Mark always takes my phone without permission and spends all the quota packages I have.


Mark is seen holding his smile while playing my phone. I was suspicious and curious about what he was doing with the phone. Maybe Mark did something strange.


"It has. Here, I go home first. I'll wait in front of the gate tonight." Her speech. Then he laughed while running out of the house. He's a freak.


But now, I find out what Mark was laughing at after my phone rang and a message notification came in.


Jaehyun


Is there time tonight?


I think we need to talk.


Tonight, 8pm at the Tears cafe.


Course. I will come, see you.


And I can't help myself from yelling at Mark. What the hell does that guy want?


But, is it possible that Jaehyun will come? Is he in America? Why did he come to see his ex-girlfriend anyway?


Ah, the bodo time. Maybe one of his friends replied to the message. Uh, but do Americans understand Korean? Park Haewon is stupid, today there are many translating applications.

"How was the operation today?" Jaehyun immediately put his phone into the doctor's suit he wore as soon as someone greeted him.


"Oh, doctor Chaeyeon. Sure, is the ER okay?" Jaehyun asked the doctor whose name he knew was Chaeyeon.


"Yes, patients are not as much as yesterday-yesterday. And I'm glad I got home early." Said the woman. "Oh yeah, when's work done?"


Jaehyun looked at the schedule on one of the small books he always carried everywhere. "Seven night hours. After checking the patient. Why?" tanyakanya.


"I'll treat you. How's it?"


Jaehyun remembered the message Haewon had sent for him. He promised to come at 8 p.m. But, rejecting doctor Chaeyeon who incidentally is his senior and is an important person in the hospital is not polite.


"All right." Jaehyun said in the end.


"At 8pm, I'll be waiting for you at the Tears cafe."


Is this a coincidence? Yes, Jaehyun so do not bother to go to two places at once.


"Hey, I got a dinner invitation from Doctor Chaeyeon." Said Taeyong who had just approached Jaehyun.


"Me too."


"Good, Jeslyn too. So we can go together." Taeyeong Tawar, more precisely Jaehyun must really come with Taeyong and Jeslyn.


"No, you must have quality time with your girlfriend after work. I can go to the cafe with my car."


Jaehyun's words were right. Taeyong should have a good quality time with Jeslyn. Remember, they are both doctors and busy with their respective jobs making them never spend quality time together.


"Then I'll see you at the cafe tonight."

Haewon POVs


"Agod! Really I didn't mean— aww!"


I kept pinching Mark's stomach and twisting his ears. I was really upset about his behavior this afternoon. Seohae who saw us fighting tried to separate. But he seemed overwhelmed and confused to separate me and Mark in what way. And I will never let go of that man so easily. Mark had to be taught a lesson so as not to behave as he pleased.


"Yes my. Aww! Haewon already!"


I'm done with Mark. Mark seems really in pain. Her ears were reddened and her skin was the same, revealing the traces of my ferocity on her body. Although I pity her, but my annoyance is far greater than the pain that can go away with time.


"After all, Brother Mark why did he make Brother Haewon sprain?" Ask Seohae. Yes, the girl was right.


"Oh so you're now on Haewon's side?" That guy really doesn't want to lose.


"No, that's not it, brother!"


I ended the two boys' fight. Even now Mark and Seohae were fighting. Oh my gosh my head is dizzy.


And become more dizzy.


When I saw Jaehyun enter with a woman. A very pretty one. Noticing that, Mark and Seohae also fell silent. Mark may be silent as he is also surprised to see the arrival of Jaehyun along with a woman. If it's Seohae, I don't know I'm not sure she's just as surprised.


Jaehyun really came. Why is he in Korea? Together with a woman. Is that beautiful woman his new lover? To show off to me?


"That's what Jaehyun is called? Who's that girl? Her boyfriend?" Ask Seohae. For now, there was no point in asking such a thing. I immediately stood up and walked over to Jaehyun.


The man froze as soon as I was in his presence and a moment later smiled. Yeah, I'm trying to act like I'm okay without him. And Jaehyun seems surprised by my situation. Maybe he feels defeated?


"Hi." Oh gosh. It feels lazy to greet him.


"Here sit." Jaehyun said, I don't understand. Usually people will feel devastated when their ex-lover greets you. The woman beside him seemed to be confused by the current situation.


"Not try. I want to say it straight away. You come next week." My speech.


The man looked confused. "Where?"


"To my wedding."


And after that, I left that place. Without giving a wedding invitation Chanyeol.


I don't know what Jaehyun will do when I say that the one getting married is me.


Will Jaehyun be jealous?
