Bomi
He already has a girlfriend
Hayoung sighed deeply. The conversations were not suppose to be this tense
Naeun
That Sehun boy?
Namjoo
It's not like his first time
Eunji
But I heard he is serious this time
He has been liking that girl since first grade
What is her name again?
Bomi
Kim Dahyun
Isn't she?
Eunji
Oh, oh!
That's right
You
Hey, I am here you know
Namjoo
Hehe
Naeun
We are just excited to talk about your crush Hayoung ahh
Don't get upset
Chorong
Honestly
I am glad you transfered to another school
You
Hey!
What do you mean?
Chorong
If you were not, you might get hurt more than this
Don't you think so?
Namjoo
She has a point
You
You are not helping
Bomi
We are sorry Hayoung ahh
But...
Just move on okay?
Naeun
I was about to say that
But it might sound too harsh
Chorong
We did not mean to hurt you Hayoung
But you know...
You
"Sometimes losing is winning"
Yeah, that's cliche Chorong
Eunji
I told you to confess earlier
Idiot
You
I'm going to sleep already
Hayoung turned off her phone and threw herself into the bed. She shut her eyes tight, forgetting her conversations with her friends just now
She was disappointed but not surprised at all
"He already has a girlfriend"
"I told you to confess earlier"
Hayoung-Right. If I confessed to you before I left... At least you would realize that I was there
She thought to herself
*flashback
Principal-In my hand, there are several files that belong to the students who are selected to join Special Education Programme School
Eunji-Assa! You will make it, Hayoung!
Hayoung-Shh! I don't want to put a high expectation
Chorong-Oh, come on. You have that high expectation
Hayoung-I'm nervous
Namjoo-You will make it. You freaking killed all the As
Principal-Oh Junghee. Kim Dain. Min Joonhwa
Naeun-Hey. Imagine going up there and everyone is looking at you
Bomi-Sehun will see you too!
Hayoung-Guys! Stop it
Principal-Oh Hayoung
Apink-Whoo! Hayoung! Oh Hayoung! Oh Hayoung! Oh Hayoung!
Hayoung got up from her seat and walked up to the stage. She received the scroll with honour
She had been strugling in middle school for this. Special Education Programme School
Hayoung took a place among the other students on the stage. From her spot, she saw 'him'
Oh Sehun
He was at the third row from the back but she could still see him clearly. He was applauding
Was it fine to take that as an indirect congratulatory clap from him? She guessed
Principal-Congratulations to all these students who are selected into Special Education Programme School. We acknowledge that these students will be leaving this school as to fulfil their dreams in a better academy. From me, I wish you all the best. May success for you in the future
*end flashback
Hayoung-They are right. If I confessed earlier, maybe I am the girl who is with him now. The thing is just I did not confess. So today, I do not want lose it again. This sounds crazy but I don't want to regret it for my life
Seunghee-Hayoung, where are you going?
Hayoung-I want to see a friend. I will come home before 12 okay? Don't worry. Bye unnie
Seunghee-Be careful. Call me if anything is up
Hayoung-Okay
Ding Dong
Hayoung-Hello Mrs Oh
Mrs.Oh-Hi. Who are you?
Hayoung-My name is Hayoung. I am here to see Sehun. Is he home?
Mrs.Oh-You are Sehun's friend?
Hayoung-An old friend. I moved to another school
Mrs.Oh-I see. Yes, he is home. I will get him for you
Hayoung-Thank you
Mrs.Oh left the door for a while and went to Sehun's bedroom. She knocked twice before getting an answer from her son
Sehun-Yes mom. Why?
Mrs.Oh-You have a guest
Sehun-Guest? Who? Is it Kai? Tell him I'm not going down
Mrs.Oh-It's not any of your members
Sehun got up from his bed
Sehun-Then who?
Sehun ran down the stairs when his mom told him about his old friend was coming to see him
Sehun-Excuse me. Do you want to see me?
Sehun was half surprised when Hayoung turned around
Sehun-Oh Hayoung! Long time no see
Hayoung-Right. I thought I was the only one to think that way
Sehun-What brings you here? Aren't you staying in boarding school?
Hayoung-I'm going back tomorrow. I come because I really have to see you
Sehun-Me? Why?
Hayoung-I know that it's quite awkward since we were not that close enough back then. But I would not feel at ease if I don't tell you this
Sehun-Tell me what?
Hayoung-Actually, I really like you Sehun
Sehun was stunned for a moment. It was his first time to hear a girl confessed to him directly
Hayoung-I know this sounds ridiculous, but I really like you. I... When I knew you have officially dating Dahyun, I just don't like it
Sehun-What are you trying to say?
Hayoung-Be my boyfriend
Both Hayoung and Sehun were surprised to hear what she just said. She might be out of her mind
Sehun-Are you serious?
Hayoung-Yy.. Yes! I am serious
Sehun-But Dahyun...
Hayoung-She doesn't have to know. Nobody has to know. We are not in the same school anymore so nobody will find out
Sehun-Oh Hayoung...
Hayoung-Sehun ahh, I liked you since our second year. I can't not like you. And I think this is the only way to make me not like you anymore
Sehun-By being your boyfriend?
Hayoung nodded
Sehun-Are you taking advantage on me?
Hayoung-I get tired of the same people quickly. So just be my boyfriend for about 3 months. I promise nobody will find out about this. When I get tired of you, we will be over
Sehun-You are unbelievable
Hayoung-Don't you want to help me to not like you anymore? What if I give you trouble when you get married to Dahyun later? You will be in a mess
Sehun-You are crazy
Hayoung-Just say yes already!
Hayoung stomped her feet like a little kid
Sehun-What with that attitude? Are you a kid?
Hayoung-You are so frustrating
Sehun-Let me think about it first
Hayoung-Really?
Sehun-Yes. I will tell you later
Hayoung-I will wait!
Hayoung yelled excitedly. It seemed to get a green light
Sehun-Go home
Hayoung-Make sure to tell me about your thought
Sehun-Yes I will. Give me your phone
Hayoung-Wait
Hayoung took her phone and handed it to Sehun. He dialled his number and left a miss call to his phone before returned it to Hayoung
Sehun-I will text you
Hayoung-I'm looking forward to it. Bye
Hayoung left with a wide smile on her face. She felt like a big stone on her back had been removed after she confessed
Sehun slammed his body into the bed and sighed
Sehun-Oh Hayoung...
He muttered under his breath
*flashback
Kai-Sehun, do you know Hayoung from my class?
Sehun-Oh Hayoung? She is not that popular but I'm pretty sure I still can imagine her figurine. Why?
Kai-She likes you
Sehun instantly choked on his meal
Kai-Eomo eomo, look who is pretending
Sehun-Hey, stop it
Kai-Come on. She is not the first girl to feel that way. So how?
Sehun-What?
Kai-How do you feel about her? She urged me to ask you
Sehun-Stop it
Kai-Ahh just say something so I can tell her
Sehun-Ahh I don't know! She... She is not that pretty though. I mean... She has a look but not my type
*end flashback
Sehun-Look who is mesmerised right now?
Suddenly his phone buzzed. Sehun grabbed onto it and saw a Kakao text from an unknown number
Unknown
Have you made a decision?
Don't take too long and just tell me okay?
Oh... Did I just urge you? Sorry
Ah by the way, I'm Hayoung
Sehun-Tch! She is being clingy even before I give an answer
'Don't you want to help me to not like you anymore? What if I give you trouble when you get married to Dahyun later? You will be in a mess'
Sehun-She is mad
Sehun-Bae
Deal
Hayoung-Wh.. What? Did he just agree?
Sehun-Bae
I will be your 3-month-boyfriend
But of course, you must keep it from everyone
Hayoung-Oh my gosh! This is no way. Wake up Hayoung
She slapped her face slightly but it was hurt. Which meant she was not dreaming!
Hayoung-Is this even real?
Sehun-Bae
Stop thinking this is a dream
Go to bed
Good night
Hayoung-Eomo! He just wished me good night? Oh my gosh! This is so unbelieveable...
Hayoung fell into her bed, lying on her belly. She screamed out of excitement. Her brave action at least did not go into a drain!
Even though honestly, the idea about Sehun being her boyfriend was not a part of her plan
She really wanted to be his real girlfriend but it did not seem appropriate to ask someone's boyfriend out
So Hayoung covered up with an idea to ask Sehun to be her 'contract lover'
Hayoung-Good job Hayoung. You will just end up hurting even more
She sighed heavily
Hayoung-Chin up! You come up with this decision because you are ready with the risk, aren't you? Well, it's not your first time though. You acknowledged he had nothing to feel about you ever since
Hayoung switched off the lights and went to sleep. Hopefully she would dream a sweet dream about Sehun again
***
Summer holiday
Dahyun-Are you going anywhere for this summer break?
Sehun-Me? No
Dahyun-*chuckled* I will buy you souvenir from Japan
Sehun-That is lovely. See you
Dahyun-Bye. Love you
Dahyun winked and walked through the gate. Sehun stopped and sighed
Sehun-Oh Hayoung
His mind was filled with Hayoung. It was school holiday which meant she would be on break as well
Sehun-If I annoy her, she will get tired of me right?
Sehun took out his cellphone and texted Hayoung
You
Are you home?
Hayoung
Not yet
Still in the train
Sehun kept back his phone and took a cab to the subway
"Next station. Seoul"
Hayoung took her back pack and walked out of the cargo. She sighed. Her bag was so heavy
"Oh Hayoung!"
Hayoung turned around and surprise to see Sehun. He was smiling widely and walking towards her
Hayoung-Hey, what are you doing here?
Sehun-To fetch you of course! How was the journey?
Hayoung-It's tiring
Sehun-Really? Let me carry your bag
Hayoung-It's heavy
Sehun-I'm fine
Hayoung was dumbfounded when Sehun took her back pack and carried it instead. She was fluttering inside
Sehun-Are you hungry? Let's go eat something
Hayoung-Ah, that's cool. Do you know a good restaurant?
Sehun-I know a chicken restaurant. Shall we eat chicken?
Hayoung-That's yummy!
Sehun grinned. It wasn't a fake one. He was seriously smiling because of Hayoung's behaviour
Sehun-I thought you are a cold hearted person
Hayoung-Me?
Sehun-Yeah. When you were still studying at our old school, many people talked about you. Not about bad things. They were just scared to go close to you
Hayoung-*chuckled* Yeah I am the type that doesn't look friendly. But once you know me and befriend with me, I am totally different
Sehun-I heard that from Kai. You were close with him
Hayoung-Yeah we were. But.. You noticed me when I was here? I thought nobody knew me
Sehun-Are you kidding? You were one of the top student since Form 1. You scored all As in Lower Secondary Assessment examinations. You got into Special Program school. Of course everyone knows you
Hayoung chuckled shyly. She was cold in the outside but in the inside, Hayoung was very humble. She didn't like to talk about her intelligence that much
Hayoung-Do you have plan during this summer?
Sehun-Just training for annual sports day
Hayoung-Oh. Other than that? I mean Dahyun?
Sehun-Nope. She will go on a vacation in Japan
Hayoung puffed her lips. She ate her chicken silently
Sehun-Let's not talk about Dahyun and me. We are together now
Hayoung-Yeah you are right. Sorry
Sehun-Hayoung?
Hayoung-Yes?
Sehun-That.. Come here
Sehun pulled Hayoung to him. She was flustered
Sehun wiped the bbq sauce on Hayoung's nose tip
Sehun-It was bbq sauce
Hayoung-Oh! I'm so silly. Thank you
Sehun-You're welcome
Hayoung smiled awkwardly while Sehun was laughing at her silliness
After they went to eat, Sehun sent Hayoung back to her house
Sehun-Get some rest first. Let's meet again soon
Hayoung-When?
Sehun-Tomorrow? Are you free?
Hayoung-Yes
Sehun-Okay then. Bye
Hayoung-Bye
Before Hayoung could enter her gate, Sehun pulled her back to him
Sehun-Wait
Hayoung-Why?
Chup!
He kissed Hayoung's cheek. Then he ruffled her hair until it became messy
Sehun-Bye
He chuckled before walking away, leaving Hayoung who was dumbfounded
She touched her cheek in disbelief. Her eyes might pop up from their sockets any time
Hayoung-Argh!
She squealed happily, jumping around like a toddler
Mrs.Oh-Oh Hayoung?! Is that you?
Hayoung-Oh my gosh. Yes mom! Hello!!!
She dragged her heavy back pack into the house
***
Two months had passed and summer break was about to end soon
Sehun threw his body in the couch. He sighed deeply. He just had a big fight with Dahyun just now
She found out about him and Hayoung. Sehun tried to convince her it was just some sort of contract and it wouldn't last long
"How could you be in contract relationship with that ugly bookworm?"
Sehun-Hayoung is not ugly okay!? Argh!
He grabbed onto his pillow and covered his face
Mrs.Oh-Sehun, Hayoung is here to see you!
Sehun puffed his lips in annoyance. He got up and went downstair
Hayoung-Hi! Hey uhm.. I..
Sehun-What?
Sehyn was wearing his bored face. Only making Hayoung got more nervous
Hayoung-Fuh! Our 3 months have ended haven't it? Today is the last day
Sehun-Really?
Hayoung-Yes. And guess what? I'm completely annoyed by you
Sehun swallowed the lump in his throat. Why it didn't feel right though
Sehun-So I made you get enough of me?
Hayoung-Oh yes! I totally cannot go on with you. Are you like this with your partner?
Sehun-Yeah. Perhaps
Sehun said whispering. Hayoung swallowed her tears and tried her best to keep smiling
Hayoung-Thank you for helping me to move on from you
Hayoung reached out her hand for Sehun to shake. He looked at her hand then her face. Then he shook Hayoung's hand
Hayoung-Now, we are officially break up
Sehun-Wow. This is so easy though. No tears at all
Hayoung-Haha I know right?
Hayoung pressed her lips together
Sehun-Thank you for everything
Hayoung-Huh? Why thank you?
Sehun-You were brave though. You confessed to me first, then you bet your own feelings to be with me. Are you sure you have moved on?
Hayoung swallowed her saliva before she nodded her head
Hayoung-Of course
Sehun-That is cool. You can find a better person after this
Hayoung-Yeah. I hope it can be that easy
Sehun-Can I ask for your favor this time?
Hayoung-What is it?
Sehun-I hope this is the last time we see each other. Let's never meet again after this
Hayoung felt like she heard glass shattered in the back of her head
Sehun-Okay?
Hayoung-Yes. Of course. So this is the last time I will see you
Hayoung bravely looked at Sehun in his eyes
Hayoung-Bye
She took a few steps backwards before turning around and she walked off
Hayoung could not help but to burst on her way back home. She lied about everything
She still loved Sehun. She still liked him a lot
His annoying behaviour and clingy thing only made Hayoung hooked to him even more
But Hayoung knew Dahyun found out. So she had no other choice. Sehun also said he wished to never see her again
Hayoung's heart shattered into pieces
Sehun took his phone and went through his gallery. From past two months, it was filled with Hayoung's photos
Sehun-But I like you
Sehun put his phone on his chest, near his heart. And he fell asleep
***
Today was scorching hot. Hayoung wiped off the sweats on her forehead. She turned off her phone and went to her study table to do revision
Two hours later, she turned her phone on again and there was hundreds messages from her Kakao group
Naeun
What happened to Sehun?
Chorong
He passed out after the training
Bomi
Chanyeol said it is heat stroke
Eunji
Is it serious?
Bomi
Just a minor one
But he doesn't regain his consciousness yet
Namjoo
Hayoung are you reading this?
Chorong
Hayoung are you okay?
You
Where is he now?
Bomi
Dongguk Hospital
Eunji
Are you coming all the way here Hayoung?
Naeun
Ya, Oh Hayoung?
Hayoung packed her things and quickly left to the warden apartment. She asked for permission to go to the hospital because of emergency
Gladly she got the permission
Hayoung took a cab back to Seoul and headed straight to Dongguk Hospital
Tears did not stop running down her face. She felt so scared at that time
She prayed there was nothing serious happened to Sehun
Hayoung-Patient name Oh Sehun?
Nurse-This way
Hayoung-Thank you
Hayoung ran to ward room number 7. Nobody was there
Doctor-Are you Oh Sehun family?
Hayoung-I'm his friend. Is he alright?
Doctor-It was only a minor stroke because of the heat. Nothing serious, he shall get better soon enough
Hayoung-Thank you so much
Sehun opened his eyes slowly. He heard a familiar voice from distant. He looked out of his room
Sehun-Ha..young
He saw Hayoung. Was it really her? What was she doing here? When did she get here? Did she come all the way just for him?
Sehun-Aww!
Sehun groaned painfully. He could not move from the bed. His body was like paralyzed
Hayoung looked into the room through the glass window. Her face was wet with tears
Hayoung-I really want to go in
She whispered under her breath
Mrs.Oh-Where is Oh Sehun?
Nurse-That way
Dahyun-Thank you
Mrs Oh rushed to Sehun's room with Dahyun. They encountered with Hayoung
Dahyun-Who is that?
Mrs.Oh-Hayoung?
Hayoung turned around and met with Sehun's mom and Dahyun in the eyes
Dahyun-What are you doing here?
Hayoung-I.. I'm looking for my grandmother's ward. She is admitted here yesterday. But I guess I got the wrong room
Mrs.Oh-Sehun is here as well
Hayoung-Oh really? I didn't know. Hopefully he will recover soon. Please excuse me, I need to find my grandmother
Hayoung bowed and left immediately. She was aimless and ended up on the rooftop. She lied about her grandmother
Seemed like she had to wait until Sehun's mom and Dahyun to leave until she could see Sehun again
Hayoung went to sit on the boarder and hugged her knees. She put her face in her palms and cried
Mrs.Oh-Sehun, are you alright?
She asked Sehun who was lying helplessly in his bed
Sehun-Yes, I can move my fingers now. Mom, was Hayoung here? I think I saw her
Mrs.Oh-Yes she was here. But now she left to her grandmother's ward
Sehun-Grandmother?
Mrs.Oh-Yes. Why?
Sehun forced himself to sit up. He put on his slipper and got off the bed
Dahyun-Where are you going?
Sehun-I need to find Hayoung. She doesn't have a grandmother. She is here for me
Sehun limped out of his ward room. Just like Hayoung, he was lost as well
Sehun-Excuse me, did you see this girl?
Sehun showed Hayoung's photo in his phone to a lady
Lady-I saw her going up to the rooftop earlier
Sehun-Thank you
Sehun tried to walk faster. He needed to climb up the stairs to the 4th floor to get to the rooftop
Sehun-Argh!
Sehun groaned when he couldn't move his leg. He stumbled to the stairs
Sehun-Aw!
Hayoung heard noises from the staircase. She went to take a look
Hayoung-Oh my God, Sehun!
She ran down the steps to Sehun and held him up in her arms
Hayoung-Are you okay?
Sehun stared into Hayoung's teary eyes. Then he pulled her into a hug. Hayoung broke into tears right away
Hayoung-How did you get here? Why did you leave your room
Sehun-I want to see you. I want to see you again
Sehun clutched at Hayoung's cloth tighter. He buried his face in her shoulder
Sehun-Did you come all the way here to see me?
Hayoung-*nodded* Yes. I was so worried when I saw the messages. I thought something worse happened to you so I came to see you with my own eyes
Sehun-You care so much for me
Hayoung-Hiks! *sobbed* I'm sorry that I still cannot move on from you. I still love you
Sehun-I love you too
Hayoung-Hiks! What? What did you say?
Sehun-I said I love you too Oh Hayoung. You made me fell in love with you too
Hayoung-Really?
Hayoung felt Sehun nodded on her shoulder. He pulled away and caressed Hayoung's cheeks
Sehun-The last time when I said let's not meet again, I lied. I thought you would come to me and told me you couldn't move on. But I think we both were holding onto our prides so well. Nobody gave in
Hayoung chuckled. She went down to kiss Sehun's lips softly
Hayoung-I don't know how I could come up with the idea to date you for three months. Maybe I was so desprate to get your attention
Sehun-And thanks to that I could learn to love you as well
Sehun hugged Hayoung's waist and pulled her down, kissing her lips passionately
Hayoung-Wait. What about Dahyun?
Sehun-Let's not talk about her when we are together
Sehun kissed Hayoung again
Sehun-I will talk to her. Don't worry okay?
Hayoung-Will she be alright?
Sehun-She has to. Because I love you
Hayoung jabbed Sehun's cheek slightly
Hayoung-Playboy!
Sehun burst out laughing. Hayoung laughed as well
Sehun-I love you so much Oh Hayoung
Hayoung-I've loved you since forever. Don't worry about me
Sehun nodded his head. Hayoung was right. He shouldn't worry about her love for him
Because the first time she fell in love, it'd also be her last time
The End
------------------------------
SeYoung part is not inspired from Taylor or any songs. This is just simply my own love story
But the difference is we are not together lol
