Not Him

22

Hyunjin continued to tap her fingers on the table, her free hand preoccupied with biting her own nails. Not only that, he even occasionally muttered indistinctly and sat down uneasily. His eyes looked out the window blankly.

Jiyoo looked at her best friend with a frown. What's with him up to this? Inner Jiyoo was confused. Hyunjin's attitude looks very strange since they sit in the coffee shop where they are now. After Kyuhyun's apartment, Hyunjin did not go back to the cafe. He asked Jiyoo to come and accompany him to this place. Hyunjin said she wanted to tell Jiyoo something, but for twenty minutes they were here, both of them just sitting in silence. Hyunjin did not say a word, making Jiyoo think that maybe Hyunjin was in serious trouble. Butwhat? that's what left him half-dead.

“so what do you want to talk about? I've been patient enough waiting since.” Jiyoo growled in annoyance, tired of the attitude of the girl in front of her.

“Jiyoo-ya.” muttered Hyunjin slowly. His voice sounded like a person who was really in big trouble. Is Hyunjin in debt so he's being chased by debt collectors? Inner Jiyoo tried to guess. Ah, but that seems impossible. Hyunjin is not a debt person. And again, his family is quite capable. The girl could not be in debt because of lack of allowance.

Or maybe.. Hyunjin is pregnant, and the man doesn't want to take responsibility. Then because of fear of being kicked out of the house so now he became frustrated like this?

Nah!

Jiyoo shook her head hard. How did Hyunjin get pregnant? His girlfriend does not have. Impossible.

“you why?” jiyoo asked trying to dispel all the bad thoughts in her head.

Hyunjin clasped Jiyoo's hand on the table. His condition was really concerning, he looked messy. “aku..” his speech came to a halt. He bit his lower lip, hesitating whether to say it or not. But if left unchecked, his brain would definitely explode. All this makes him almost crazy.

“what's the matter with you? Say.” Jiyoo tries to be patient. Actually he could not stand it anymore, wanted it to feel like he bit the table so irritated. But what did he get? Hyunjin just shook her head and then got engrossed back with her initial activity - biting her nails while staring out the window.

“Yes! tell me right now or I'll go!” Jiyoo stood up while pounding the table in front of her, her patience had already reached its limit. Soon he will go on a date with Heechul, but he is stuck here with his friend who is not clear how he is.

Hyunjin jumped in shock at Jiyoo's actions just now, making her gaze immediately diverted to the person who was staring annoyedly at her now. Shin Jiyoo really looks wrathful.

Some people also turned their heads towards them because of Jiyoo's voice earlier. Aware of already making a fuss, the girl smiled clumsily holding in shame and immediately sat back down.

“I don't have much time, Choi Hyunjin. If there is something important just say it now.” said Jiyoo trying to be patient again –although it feels very difficult - because he does not want to be the center of attention due to yelling at Hyunjin again.

“I'm really almost crazy, Jiyoo-ya.” Hyunjin pulled her own hair while resting both her hands on the table.

Jiyoo grunted miserably. Hyunjin is always dramatizing a situation. What else this time? about Kyuhyun who always bullies him? Or is Donghae's attitude annoying?

“Who else are you having trouble with?” jiyoo asked began to soften. He knew that Hyunjin was really in a bad state. It is likely that he never got frustrated like this in the face of any problem.

“I was confused..” again Hyunjin hung up her words, making Jiyoo look at her curious.

Jiyoo nodded, the last news she heard was Donghae selfishly told Hyunjin to pretend to accept their match.

“Then?” the question is getting curious.

“ suddenly his attitude suddenly so good to me. He was always smiling and friendly when he talked to me. Exactly like before, when we have not been betrothed.”

“then what's the problem? Isn't that even good? you can really get engaged to her if you both love each other.” Jiyoo shook her head, inexhaustible with Hyunjin's thought path. That good thing why is it a problem for him?

“that's the problem..” said Hyunjin full of emphasis. Instead of directly on the main problem, he hung his speech again. Jiyoo again had to endure patience. He is grateful not to have high blood disease, or he will quickly die because of the attitude of his friend.

Hyunjin looked at Jiyoo sharply, her facial water looking so solemn. Jiyoo had never seen him this serious before.

“tadi Kyuhyun said that he likes me. Don't you think this is crazy? the two people who were originally cruel to me are now turning 180 degrees instead? Ah, I'm really confused by all this.” Hyunjin gets harder and harder with her hair. While Jiyoo rounded her mouth in disbelief.

“Really? then what are you gonna do? You accept Kyuhyun?” jiyoo asked excitedly. He smelled that gossip was starting to spread. It will definitely be fun to talk about it with Heechul later, the girl thought with a demonic smile.

Hyunjin shook her head weakly, “I haven't said anything to her.”

“do you like it too?”

“I don't know. I'm really confused. Then what do you think I should do? whereas oemma says that we –aku and Donghae- will be engaged next week.” Hyunjin looked at Jiyoo heartily, hoping that he would come up with the best solution. Usually he will not want to accept the opinion of Jiyoo because he thinks the girl's thinking is always strange. But this time he was really desperate, only Jiyoo could help him –that's if his advice made sense - he couldn't possibly tell anyone else about it. Actually he prefers to keep his problem alone, but if allowed to continue this can kill him slowly. All right, the girl's thinking was too much, but that's how she felt.

Receiving a love statement from a Cho Kyuhyun. Isn't that really a magical thing? Namja who has always been cold to him now says that he likes the girl? Even Hyunjin thought that if he was in a dreamland right now, all this was just an unreal dream. He would wake up soon and forget all that.

But no matter how hard he tried, he never woke up from ‘mimpi’ strangely it. Of course, because it wasn't all a dream.

“what should I do Jiyoo-ya?”

Jiyoo held onto her chin while thinking. Hyunjin's problem this time is indeed quite complicated. If he was in Hyunjin's position, maybe he would also be confused as he was now.

Jiyoo shook her head weakly, giving up on not getting the best solution. “saranku, you have to follow your heart.”
