"hey have you heard?" yangyang spoke.
"heard what?" yiren looked up from her phone giving his brother a confused look.
"no way, you didn't know??" he asked looking shock.
" no i didn't, just tell me before i throw you out that window" the girl wasn't really in the mood. she woke up on the wrong side of the bed, not to mention her period just started.
"oh hey lucas!" yangyang shouted at the boy approaching them. the tall boy smiled brightly at the twins.
"hey yang, hey yiren" he greeted. they both noticed how lucas wasn't very as noisy or loud the past months. but he was starting to smile more often.
yiren didn't like to think that it was about their breakup. yangyang on the other hand noticed this weird behavior along with their other friends, but they didn't think that it was because of the girl since lucas was sort of a playboy, the type who broke hearts, not the one whose heart gets broken.
"yo" yiren mentally cringed, that was the most awkward 'yo' she had ever said. she got a bit nervous seeing the boy's bright smile in a while.
"oh anyway, i was gonna say that m-"
"yiii!!!" yangyang was cut off someone screamed from behind them. they all turned to see who it was. and the girl couldn't believe it.
"mark??"
the boy called mark smiled happily at the girl. then his smile slowly and unnoticeably faded as he spotted lucas beside the girl.
"oh uh, hey lucas and yangyang" he said to the other two.
"why didn't you tell me you were coming??" the girl dragged the black haired boy away from everyone.
"so are you, like back together with lucas?" he asked, not looking straight into the girl's eyes.
"we've talked about this" she sighed.
"and no, we're not back together"
mark's eyes lit up. he didn't make it too obvious though. yiren and mark have been friends since 4th grade, and the boy always had feelings for her.
but he never really confessed. until that one time, when he kissed the girl the night before he left for canada, and well, things got a little bit out of hand.
yiren and lucas were together that time too.
they both promised to forget about it, but mark just couldn't, and neither could yiren. guilt was eating her whole, so she decided to break up with lucas.
_____
yiren was all down and moody the whole day.
she also decided to walk home, alone. she needed some time to think, the girl never really felt that way to mark, although she had experienced those times where you feel attracted toward a friend.
how she will probably never get over the fact that she cheated on lucas, it was the worst thing she's ever done and she will forever regret it for the rest of her life. they both just got caught up in the moment. and they shouldn't have.
"hey liu" a hand landed on her shoulder.
"oh wow you look bad" the boy said as he saw the glum expression on her face.
"uh shut up jung" she removed jaehyun's hand off her shoulder.
the boy scoffed and continued walking with her, side by side.
"do you need anything?" yiren asked quite annoyed as she stopped on her tracks.
"well- i was wondering.. if you could watch over yoon-oh for tonight my parents are so annoying saying they need me to be present at this meeting when it's a monday night" he said really fast.
"woah really?" the girl smiled brightly for the first time today. she got excited at the fact of seeing the cute little baby again.
"yeah, i'm about to pick him up from daycare, wanna come?"
____
the daycare was a 45 minute drive from jaehyun's house. he obviously chose a far one on purpose, he'd be dead if someone saw him with his son.
yiren realized how hard and hectic the boy's schedule was, right after school he had to pick up the child from a far away place, driving for 90 minutes, and comes home to cook dinner, gives yoon-oh a bath, put him to sleep, when he himself also had a pretty tiring day at school, and sometimes from the work his parents make him do.
he also said that he didn't want to hire babysitters because he didn't trust them.
"oh, i've been meaning to ask you" yiren turned to her side facing 'driving jaehyun'
"hmm?" he hummed, his eyes still on the road.
"why does yoon have so many medicines to drink?" she asked. the boy's stomach lurched, and he hesitated for a bit. but he knew it was best if he'd just tell her.
"he- well yoon has a heart condition" his voice was shaking a little. he's never told anyone except some staff at yoon-oh's daycare, other than that, no one, not even his parents.
yiren looked shocked, so it was probably why jaehyun was being a little overprotective.
"oh" was the only think she could say.
"i found out when he was five months old, i was so shocked when he started looking all weird, the doctor said it was hereditary, but it wasn't that serious though" he explained as he pulled over a parking lot, it was 5:00 in the afternoon and they had to hurry up because he had a meeting to attend at 6:15.
yiren walked behind jaehyun as they neared the gates of the daycare.
"daddy!" yoon-oh's voice echoed in their ears.
jaehyun smiled and picked the baby up, thanking the staff who watched over the child as he waited and turned to yiren.
"yiwen?" the baby smiled stretching his hands toward the girl, wanting to be picked up by her.
the girl picked him up and smiled brightly making the baby giggle.
jaehyun could have sworn he felt the butterflies in his stomach, he wasn't sure if it was because he loved seeing his son happy, or that he just loved seeing yiren's smile.
or just both.
