Not Him

- Author’s POV
Kyuhyun walked towards his apartment. The steps are a little shaky. There was a sense of heaviness in his heart as he left the girl alone earlier. He felt anxious. What if something happens to Hyunjin?
‘ah, what am I thinking?’
Kyuhyun shook his head. Quickly he threw away that thought. Hyunjin will soon belong to someone else, he has no chance. There was a sense of regret in his heart, something that made his chest really feel claustrophobic.
He has loved the girl since their first meeting in the hospital a few weeks ago. Actually he was very happy when he met again with Hyunjin while at the cafe. And about the compensation that does not make sense was deliberately done in order to get a lot of time with Hyunjin. But foolishly he was rude and unfriendly to the girl. Shouldn't he like her be nice and try to attract her attention? But what Kyuhyun did was the opposite.
“stupid.” Kyuhyun muttered throughout his journey. He cursed himself completely. Moreover, after hearing Hyunjin's words about Yeoram earlier, her heart really hurt. Why did Hyunjin think Yeoram was her lover? doesn't that mean Hyunjin doesn't have any feelings for her? he realized now, there was really not the slightest gap for him in the heart of the girl.
Kyuhyun's steps stopped when two men dressed in black blocked his path. Kyuhyun shifted his steps to the side trying to find a gap, but one of the people instead shifted to follow him. Kyuhyun shifted again. He was still trying to be patient, not looking for a storm. But the other man got in his way.
“sorry gentlemen, can you give way for me?” the question is still being friendly. The two men did not answer, instead one of them clutched the collar of the kyuhyun shirt. Kyuhyun tried to fight back.
“so you are Cho Kyuhyun?” asked the man who was clutching her collar. Kyuhyun did not reply, he just kept quiet and looked at the man sharply.
“is he really the one?” the man turned to his friend who immediately nodded his head.
“want what are you guys? I don't think I know you guys.” Kyuhyun stomped the man's hand roughly from the collar of his shirt, then brushed off the part of his collar that was touched earlier, as if he felt a dirty mark stuck there.
“chi! you don't know us, but we were assigned to take you.” Said the man. Kyuhyun instantly knew what their goal was - more precisely who the person behind all of this was.
“you can choose want to join us voluntarily or have to with a little coercion.” Threaten the other man. Kyuhyun smiled disdainfully. Didn't expect it turned out that “people it” really wanted to take her back.
“I won't come with you. Please go and tell the person who paid you not to interfere in my life anymore.” Kyuhyun looked at them with a contemptuous look.
“haha.. so great your guts son. We've been paid to take you, and we have to. If this is what you want we will do.” The two men started beating Kyuhyun, one of them raised his fist near Kyuhyun's lips and made him bleed a little. Not only that, the other man also kicked Kyuhyun in the stomach so he fell to the ground.
Kyuhyun tried to fight back, but one against two was really unbalanced, moreover the bodies of the two men were much bigger and stockier than him. He was already helpless, his face full of bruised marks. His body was also in pain from the pounding from them.
Suddenly the two men stopped their actions when they heard the sirens of police cars approaching. There were police officers patrolling the area. The two men immediately ran away and left Kyuhyun just like that who was still on the ground. Kyuhyun scolded himself for not being able to stand up to his father's two men.
Police who saw someone fall on the sidewalk pulled over his car and approached Kyuhyun.
“you're okay? what happened?” ask one of the two policemen while helping Kyuhyun to stand up.
“there's someone who wants to rob me. Because I didn't give him the money so he hit me.” Kyuhyun deliberately lied, he did not want this problem to be longer.
“really? Shouldn't you report it at the police station?” propose the other policeman.
Kyuhyun shook his head, “it seems unnecessary, besides I don't remember his face. He was wearing a hat and covering his face earlier.” The Kyuhyun lie again.
“but should you go to the hospital to treat those injuries?” ask the police not sure. Kyuhyun's face was already badly battered.
“well, then we'll excuse you. Be careful on the way.”
“nde, thank you Sir.”
Kyuhyun limped towards his apartment. Fortunately it was already night time, so no one on the street would see it this way.

- Choi Hyunjin’s POV
After the lecture was over, Donghae told me to meet him. I don't know what's going on, but it seems to be important. I hope he doesn't want to take me shopping anymore, I was enough to be a pelvic floor for him yesterday.
I went straight to where he said it was. It turns out he was waiting for me there. He turned around as I called him, and either I saw him wrong or he smiled at me.
“what's Donghae-sshi?”
“ini for you.” Donghae handed me a bag of bags. I accepted it with doubt.
“what is this?”
“look at it yourself. I hope you'll wear it for the night.”
“wait! So it's true there will be a family meeting to discuss about. engagement?” I hesitated when I said the last word.
Donghae nodded, and again he smiled, “ya, you're right. Sorry I haven't told you before.”
I nodded understandably, then reached into the contents of the bag he gave earlier. And when I took it out, it really made me gape in disbelief. “This..” I looked at Donghae in amazement, completely in disbelief at what he gave.
“Yes, that's for you. Sorry I didn't give it to him yesterday. You just left immediately.”
“but you said.”
“I said what?” tanyanya pretended to be stupid.
“Don't you say this dress is for that special girl for you? Why did you give it to me?”
Donghae scratched the back of his head, for some reason he looked clumsy. “ah, that's for you anyway. You should wear it later. I'm going first. Annyeong!” Donghae just left me wondering.
I'm confused with him. He used to be nice to me, then suddenly turned annoying, and now his attitude changes again. Is Donghae really a double personality? some freak.
I looked at my watch, it's time to go to the cafe. Usually at times like this, Mr. Cho was gonna call and get angry, but I don't know today he didn't call me at all. Is he still angry? Ah, I have to ask him for an explanation.
