When We Were In Love (A Secret Love)
Episode 8
"Nobody's up, is he sleeping?" Do Hwan stared at his phone. He called Tiffany instead of sending her a message because he missed her.
He opened the gallery and entered the password into the folder that was accidentally locked. There are photos of a beautiful girl who has been in her boyfriend for several months. He stared at the photos that some took secretly. One of them is a picture of Tiffany falling asleep in her car on the way home to the apartment on their birthday. Do Hwan recalled, how much he had refrained himself from hugging Tiffany as the girl cried, he felt so guilty for making her cry. But her heart was very happy when Tiffany nodded her head as Do Hwan expressed his feelings, although soon the girl fell asleep.
"Sister Do Hwan, why are you outside?" a short-haired girl staggered close to Do Hwan, Do Hwan's reflexes holding the girl's body that was about to collapse in front of him.
"You drank too much Irene" said Do Hwan holding onto the arm of his former junior at the Agency.
"What??! I'm drunk?!!, just calm down, brother, I'm just a little drunk, dedicationiiiiiiiit." The girl tried to let go of Do Hwan's grip with a stagger.
"Bronch!!" Irene hit Do Hwan's body.
"Sister Do Hwan, why are you so cold? Ohhhhh!!!"
Do Hwan picks up his phone, "hey Tae Oh, get out quickly, Irene almost made a fuss!!!"
Soon Tae Oh with Jerry came, they were surprised to see Irene embracing Do Hwan Erat's body while Do Hwan's face showed anger. Do Hwan doesn't like being hugged by women, let alone that drunk woman.
Tae Oh and Jerry try to let go of Irene's embrace, and bring Irene inside. They know they're gonna get hit by Do Hwan for making Irene drunk .
.........
A few hours earlier, though,
Do Hwan and Jerry walk out of the music room at his Agency. Today they have no training schedule but purposely come to spend their day off. They meet Tae Oh who looks like he just came out of the training room, it looks like he just finished dance practice.
" Wuihhh, very good at training on holidays," Jerry teases Tae Oh
"Keep you guys what??" Tae Oh replies while wiping the sweat off his face.
"We're just having fun, aren't we Do Hwan?" Jerry raised an eyebrow at Do Hwan who was only in reply with a smile.
"Happy?! aah, how about we have fun in the right way. We eat, drink and karaoke??" Tae Oh looks excited.
"What a great idea, we haven't done it in a long time." Jerry then looked at Do Hwan, "how's Do Hwan?"
Do Hwan just shrugged his shoulders asserting the invitation of his two friends.
"Haiish, you talk a little cake. Oh well, what about Edward and Jungsu?" Jerry snorted, because Do Hwan had been silent since.
"It looks like Edward is coming home to his parents, Jungsu is going to his school reunion" Tae Oh said.
"Well, then let these 3 single men enjoy this beautiful night. Let's goooooo!!!" Jerry embraces the shoulders of his two friends with passion, he is always excited if he goes out for fun.
"Wait, I'll change clothes first. There's no way I'm going in wet clothes like this." Tae Oh ran to the locker room.
*****************
"Sister Tae Oh!!!!" call someone from behind as Tae Oh, Jerry Dan Do Hwan is walking towards the cafe to eat. The three of them stopped their steps, and turned around.
A tall beautiful girl with a short haircut walked up to them.
"Haloooo everyone......!!!" sapanya cheerful.
" Aah, Irene!! hi!" Jerry replied to the girl.
"Well," Do Hwan replied briefly to Irene with a smile.
"It hasn't changed, has it?? stay cool," he looked at Do Hwan.
Tae Oh and Jerry looked at each other, while Do Hwan raised next to his eyebrows
"Ahahah, Irene, you don't seem to know how Do Hwan is." Tae Oh felt a strange air start to blow. "Oh yeah, what are you doing here?"
"I'm out to eat, and look at you."
"Only alone?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Well, then just eat with us, we happen to want to eat too" Jerry asked, Tae Oh nodded his head, while Do Hwan looked around without saying a word.
"Emang can?! " ask irene while looking at Do Hwan who seemed unconcerned.
Tae Oh nudges Do Hwan and codes Do Hwan to answer Irene's question because it looks like Irene is waiting for Do Hwan's answer.
"It doesn't matter if you want to join" replied Do Hwan. Irene smiled happily, finally she could eat with her former senior first, especially with Do Hwan.
They entered the cafe and immediately went to the second floor, where the VIP room they had booked. Actually they used to wear regular tables but because they would drink a little, so they booked a VIP room with karaoke facilities.
"Irene, when did you debut?" tae Oh asked as they were eating.
"Tomorrow the day after tomorrow" answered Irene.
" Well congratulations, you're finally debuting too, " said Tae Oh.
They also eat while talking. Every now and then Irene glanced at Do Hwan who looked to be eating seriously. He often invites Do Hwan to talk but only in reply briefly. Tae Oh, Jerry and the rest of TheFive know that Irene really likes Do Hwan.
Since Irene's trainee days at their agency, Irene often comes to visit TheFive just to see Do Hwan, but Do Hwan himself responds coldly. TheFive members know Do Hwan very well. And Do Hwan has always been so against the opposite sex. As long as they are friends, Do Hwan talks about women specifically, even when the members are talking about their secret courtship story, Do Hwan is only a loyal listener. But Irene was too beautiful to ignore. And he openly showed his affection for Do Hwan.
"sister Do Hwan, are you still writing songs?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Well..means later I can ask to write a song? I want to sing your song, a sweet love song."
Irene smiled sweetly at Do Hwan, but did not respond to Do Hwan.
"I'm out for a minute." Do Hwan moved from his seat. He climbed into the Rooftop cafe breathing the night air.
" Ihhh, why is he?? am I less attractive ?" Irene asked in despair.
"What the hell Irene, you've only met her after a while, so it's natural she's behaving like that" said Jerry.
"But she always ignored me!!"Irene straightened her drink.
" Well, you know Do Hwan, he doesn't just act like that to you, to every woman he does." Tae Oh tried to comfort Irene.
"Behold you're Kang Do Hwan, I'm still not done with you." Irene returned to drinking with a feeling of annoyance. For years he tried to pursue Do Hwan, but he was always ignored. Even when he decided to quit Xeon Ent. Only Do Hwan did not send a farewell message, even though he was quite close to TheFive.
