UNTRESURED LOVE [True Beauty Fanfiction]

Chapter 17 2/2

~AREUMS POV ~

Everyday that went by I would stand outside jookyung's house looking up to her window wondering if I would see her anytime soon, i wondered how she was doing and if she was eating well.

Why do people so messed up exist? What's the point of making fun of others? What do they gain from it?

I get out of my house and make my way to the comic store.

When I get there I see suho walk out.

"Lee suho, let's talk" I say as I call out for him, he then turns around and nodds

We take a seat outside on a bench.

"Have you hear anything about jookyung?"

"Just that she isn't coming out of her room, I haven't seen her at all though" he says softly

"I see" I say softly as I mess with my hands.

"Areum, I want to apologize, for any pain I have caused you." He says looking up at me

"Its okay, you were scared and I understand that, because you were scared you fell into someone else's arms, but it isn't a bad thing, you fell into the right hands. She makes you happy and you make her happy and that all that matters to me." I say looking down.

"Areum, I feel like I should say this, I've always liked you, even back then. I admired you kindness, you were so clueless when a guy chased after you." He says as he looks down and I look up at him.

Why, why are you telling me this now?!

"I was stupid for not giving us a chance, but I want you to know that I deeply care for you, and I always have." He let's out a long sigh

"I love jookyung, my feelings for you still linger, I don't want to come out as mean, but I hope those feelings leave soon, I don't have jookyung to be hurt."

I place my hand over suhos and and he looks at me.

"Lee suho, I understand, feelings are hard to get rid of. I should know." I say softly

"Once you've caught feelings you can't control them. Jookyung is an amazing person, lose those lingering feelings you have for me and make her happy, she deserves it" I say with a soft smile

"I admire you, your strong, and you don't let anything rot your beautiful heart. Also, lose those feelings for me, I wasn't any good to you. Things could have been different if I hadn't chickened out a-"

"Hey, it's alright, your with a girl that loves you very much, and I'll be here for you, if you ever need a hand. So what do you say? Friends again?" I say

He smiles softly

"Friends" he says

He pulls me into his embrace and I smile widely.

"I'm glad we could talk things out. If you find out anything about jookyung let me know, now get going it's late" I tell him

"What about you?" He asks
