My Boyfriend Having Affairs
2. Old Friend

"Applying?? Suddenly??" I said to Myung Soo, he nodded confidently.

I don't know if I should accept or reject it because in my little heart I still love Myung Soo.

"What about Hye Sun?" without thinking I asked Hye Sun, and rightly thought her face changed.

"I want to start everything with you. Can't you just trust me this time?" Myung Soo clasped my hand tightly.

"Give me a little time. I'll call you later." I let go of Myung Soo's hand.

***

There are so many things I think about. I can't just accept Myung Soo after what he did to me. Makes me really disappointed and hurt. But I also can't seem to let go.

I saw my phone that I turned off last night. Unknowingly I saw a gallery full of pictures of me and Myung Soo.

"Was she happy with me?? He was just pretending to be happy with me. Because he's secretly doing it behind my back."

I want to delete all those photos. But this finger won't move a bit.

"Removing the picture alone I can't afford." I said.

Flashbacks

"I can't go home with you tonight. You can go home by yourself, right??" myung Soo asked me while he was in the lobby of the office.

"Yes, I'll go home by myself. Where are you going tonight?" I asked because she doesn't normally want to go home by herself.

"I'll have a drink with a friend."

"Friends?!" I frowned.

"With a male friend. So you take it easy." After shuffling my hair, he walked away and said he'd call me when it's done.

I took a breath and tried to trust him. Because not long ago she was still trying to forget about Hye Sun.

"Am I too soon to start a relationship with him?"

***

Until eleven o'clock at night I had not received any messages or phone calls from Myung Soo. Out of worry, I might be more curious to call her phone, but it's off.

"What else are you doing??" muttered.

I waited to fall asleep with my phone in my hand. The clock shows at two in the morning. I checked my phone but there was no message from Myung Soo. Then I tried to send him a message and it was sent. This means he turned on his phone but didn't try to contact me.

I doubt I'll call Myung Soo or not. For now are the hours of the sound man in sleep. Then with a bad feeling I paused to contact Myung Soo.

***

In office.

Myung Soo is late for work. It's half an hour late. I didn't want to ask her further, as it would only make her further aggravate her mood.

"He's getting late again. Don't-don't.." Bora whispered to me, and her sentence was cut off because Myung Soo was already behind her.

"Don't-don't what? Don't make a no-no rumor about me."

Bora inched away after Myung Soo sat next to me.

"I was too drunk all night so I couldn't reach you. Sorry yeah.."

"Who did you come home with?"

"Ehmm it was my friend who drove him."

"Oh.."

"If you don't believe me, I'll call my friend."

"No need." I replied briefly.

Flashback end

Maybe he was with Hye Sun until he couldn't reach me. This pain has re-emerged. After I started to realize it, so that night she accidentally met Hye Sun?

"Armghh!!!"

***

"Home, try to open instagram." Ji Eun enters suddenly and shows a post on instagram.

"He's Hye Sun, right?" ji Eun asked to make sure.

I nodded and looked at the photo.

"Why??"

"He's going to Canada tonight. What did he post it for??? So that Myung Soo can know???"

"Eitherway. I sometimes think that Hye Sun still loves Myung Soo. You know if she married Seokjin because of her parents."

"And this morning Myung Soo wanted to propose to me..."

"Then you took it?"

I shook my head.

"Can't or won't refuse??"

"If you were me, what would you do?? I still love Myung Soo but I still hurt him. Should I accept it and start a new relationship?"

"If I were you. I'll turn it down."

"Yahhh it will be so easy for you because you don't love him."

"But it's up to you. You love Myung Soo. If you trust him you can start a new relationship again. But if you still doubt. You should forget about it. Although initially sick. But I'm sure this is what's best for you."

My phone's vibrating. Myung Soo sent me a message. And asked me how I answered. I didn't get back to her immediately because I wanted Myung Soo to wait like I was waiting for her like I used to.

After the shower I went out to buy some drinks at the minimarket near the kosan. I haven't been out of bed in a few days. I didn't even shower because I was too lazy.

"You... Nest right???!" someone suddenly appeared in front of me and said my name.

"Who is it?!" many doubt.

I was surprised that a handsome man greeted me and even knew me.

"I'm Kangjun??? Lee Kangjun!!! Try to remember your fat Sd temen, being bullied in class often and you helped him a lot."

"Well?!! That fat Kangjun??!!! No way!" I patted him on the shoulder he only returned with a smile.

"I'll forgive you for being my goddess of help." But that smile never changed.

"I don't recognize you because you've changed so much. You're dieting??!!!"

He nodded confidently.

"I don't want to be bullied by them constantly."

"Both good!! You're getting very handsome. I really can't believe it's you."

"Where do you work now?? You're like an idol?!"

"I'm just a model in a magazine."

"Only?!!! Wow you must have a lot of fans right now."

"Maybe." she smiled her smile making someone around me whisper.

"Where do you work?" asked Kangjun then invited me to chat in front of the minimarket that has been provided a special table and chair for buyers.

"I work at a food company. You know the name of the hot chicken restaurant? I work at his headquarters."

"What a coincidence, I really like chicken in that restaurant."

I laughed with Kangjun as if all my problems disappeared from my mind.

Kangjun apparently lives in the next town. And the reason he went to this minimarket was because he wanted to go for a walk. But fate brought us both together in this simple place.

" Where do you live?"

I pointed to a level building, which is the boarding house I live in.

"When can I play there, right?"

Suddenly I hesitated to answer yes. There is a shadow of Myung Soo. But I'm sure it's once again in me that Kangjun is my old friend. Friends only.

"of course. Let me know if you'll visit."

Kangjun thrust his phone.

"Give me your cell phone number. Where can I call you if I don't know your number."

I smiled and started typing my phone number.

"Hey.. Don't make me awkward. I'm still the same as I used to be."

"Yes, I know."

Our conversation was getting more interesting until the hour had shown at eleven o'clock at night. We didn't feel like we were talking for three hours.

"It feels so comfortable to talk to you like this" she said, looking at me from the side, making me a little embarrassed.

"really?"

Kangjun drove me home to the front of the building. He smiled and told me to go inside.

"I'll call you later."

I nodded and remembered Myung Soo. The same word but spoken by different people.

My shadow floated far away while I was still sitting in elementary school. When Kangjun was still very fat, he was called a pig by classmates. Kangjun was always tough even though in the back of the school he always cried because of the call.

"Why is there alone." I asked Kangjun who was sobbing crying behind the school.

"Let's go in. Classes have started." take me. Kangjun was still in place.

"Are you going to call me a pig?"

"You're human why should I call you a pig." I tried to approach Kangjun carefully.

"But they.."

"Don't listen to them."

I gave Kangjun the handkerchief my mother gave. She wiped her tears with her handkerchief and thanked him.

In class, the board was full of pig writing. Kangjun was shocked and walked towards his stool and found his books had been torn up.

I deleted the writing with an eraser. Kangjun looked at me from a distance and smiled.

"If you bother Kangjun, I'll complain to the teacher?!" threaten me in the whole class.

"No fear." said Jun Hee, one of the students who bullied Kangjun.

Then when the teacher came in I told him everything that happened to Kangjun all this time. Then my teacher punished the children who bullied Kangjun. Even though after that they changed to bully me until I graduated school.

"I'm home." a message came in. When I pressed the profile picture of the owner of the message, it was Kangjun.

"Sleep. It was night." I replied to Kangjun's message until I unconsciously smiled just by looking at the screen of the phone.

Long time no reply I thought Kangjun was sleeping. But he called me that night. I picked him up and talked to him again until it was not early in the morning.

Kangjun wanted to take me around in the magazine office where he worked. After he found out if I had a week off. I hesitated to say yes, but I wanted to refresh my mind.

During my time with Kangjun I felt something I called comfortable. What I can't get from Myung Soo. Is it because I loved him first???

***

Myung Soo was already standing waiting for me in front of the boarding building. In her neat clothes she smiled and asked the answer she had been waiting for from yesterday.

"No work?" ask her.

"After this I will go straight to the office."

This is the first time she's stopped by my boarding house after I've been dating her for so long. Has he changed?

"Hye Sun left for Canada yesterday."

Myung Soo turned his face towards the crowded streets. He tapped on the tip of his shoe as if giving a code so as not to discuss Hye Sun again.

"There are actually a lot of things I want to ask you." I asked Myung Soo.

"About what?"

"About your relationship with Hye Sun when we started dating."

"Why do I have to talk about it again??"

"Because of me, I'm just not sure if I should marry you."

"I know you can't forgive me yet, because of Hye Sun's story. That's why I want to make it up to you."

A car stops right in front of Myung Soo. Kangjun came out and walked towards me.

Kangjun initially looks confused and begins to realize the situation, then chooses to sit in a chair in front of the building. I saw Kangjun he was looking at me and Myung Soo awkwardly.

"You know him?" myung Soo asked, his face pointing towards Kangjun sitting down.

"Yes." Yeah."

"He who?"

"My old friend."

"Pretty too. You can't be...."

"Don't think no. I'm not the same as you."

"What do you mean say something like that?? You're still mad at me."

I just kept quiet.

"I'm going to work now. I'll be here after work. I believe you." Myung Soo leaves with his car before he glances sharply at Kangjun.

"Your boyfriend?" kangjun's heavy voice surprised me.

He laughed and saw me surprised.

"If it's perfectly natural. You're beautiful, so many people like you."

Kangjun doesn't know I've been through anything quite unreasonable these few days. But it's impossible for me to tell Kangjun. Because to me this is more like a disgrace that I have to keep tight.

Kangjun shook his hand in front of my face because I was daydreaming for a while.

"Is there a problem with your boyfriend?" ask Kangjun carefully.

"Is it too flashy?" I smiled forcedly.

"So, how was it today? Are you going with me today?"

"of course. I think I need some fresh air."

Kangjun opened the car door for me, the attitude I always craved from a man.

Moments later I realized that since meeting Kangjun I have often compared Kangjun and Myung Soo. They are both clearly two different people. And why should I be disappointed if I started first to get into Myung Soo's life??

When Myung Soo wanted to propose to me I was confused. Whereas before I really wanted to be able to live happily together with Myung Soo. He became his wife and accompanied her to old age. However, everything changed since Hye Sun told me about it.

"Kangjun-ah, I want to ask you."

"She asked." His face turned towards me and then he focused back to the front again.

"I have a friend, he has a lover. And he's like he hasn't been able to move on from his ex-girlfriend. Then the ex came to my friend and said if he was pregnant with my friend's girlfriend. How think?? I mean, how should my friend behave with her boyfriend."

"This isn't your story, is it?" kangjun's face turned serious.

"No, this is my friend's story. Yesterday he cried and asked for my opinion."

"Thank God it's not your story."

"Emmm.. How yes? I'm a little confused too. Because I'm a man too. But if he really loves your friend shouldn't he be doing that?"

"Then the ex already has a husband." I continued to make Kangjun brake suddenly.

"Who's that jerk?? Why could he do such a crazy thing."

"You don't have to know."

"What if my friend's boyfriend proposes to my friend? Well, to make amends."

I hope Kangjun brings out an answer that can make me think positively about Myung Soo.

"Applying and marrying your friend? With reason to atone for his mistake. It seems like a little, Ehmm.. Bizarrely. But if your friend is willing to forgive his girlfriend, it never hurts to accept it. But what if her boyfriend hasn't really been able to forget his ex. What if it was just to test his heart, whether he had completely forgotten his ex."

I just nodded listening to Kangjun, until I arrived at a large office that I thought was very luxurious.

When Kangjun got out of the car a woman ran towards Kangjun. I narrowed my eyes to look at the familiar shadow. It was Ji Eun. Ji Eun is my friend, why is she here??

"Ji Eun." call me. Kangjun was surprised and looked at me and Ji Eun in turn.

"You know each other?" ask Kangjun.

"He's my friend."

"Don't.." Kangjun was guessing whether JI Eun was the friend I told him about just now.

"Kok you two can come anyway?" Ji Eun is no less curious.
