The trio got off the motorcycle once they reached the destination, Sieun stood to the side, looking at the couple in confusion after noticing the place they were in, it was a building, but he didn’t really know what they were doing there, watching Sooho open the rear compartment that the motorcycle had, the younger looked at the girl, who was looking at something on the boy’s cell phone and turned to see the building behind her.
Sieun frowned at the boy as he placed a bag in his hands. — Love, adress.
— Apartment 901. — She said, making Sooho thank her and look at Sieun with a smile.
—Think of it as training and go upstairs. — He said, hitting him on the shoulder and Sieun finally understood what he wanted to say, looking at the bag immediately before looking at him and finally at Hyeori, who thought the boy looked adorable with a surprised face and that helmet. in his head.
—Are you making me work?
— Oh, of course not. Don’t hurt my feelings like that, it sounds like I’m blowing up your mouth or something… Think of this as a favor, I’m helping you get in shape.
— Hyeori…
— Oh, no, no, she’s working too. — The boy said, taking her girlfriend’s hand before getting on the motorcycle and feeling her arms wrap around his torso.
— Sorry, dongsaeng, we’ll see you later, make the delivery and don’t move from here, okay? — The girl said before her boyfriend started the engene. — Good luck, baby! — The girl shouted as she left, leaving Sieun watching them leave before looking at the building in annoyance.
I wouldn’t accept a night out from them again.
…
—Is Youngyi doing well?
Sooho nodded to Sieun. The trio was outside a convenience store, where they went after making all the deliveries for the night, where Sieun, after the third delivery stopped complaining, knowing that they were going to make him do it anyway and that Hyeori wasn’t going to help him get out of that situation.
— I think Bumseok is being used.
— And? — Sooho said, drinking his Red Bull again, Hyeori took her coke, thinking about how the mention of the boy now brought so much tension between them when before mentioning one of the boys was a normal topic of conversation. —Haven’t you started to think that he is the one who is using them? That idiot wanted it like that from the beginning, he approached us because he wanted to be popular… As if we were. — Sooho murmured, looking ahead as he put his arms around his girlfriend’s shoulders, calmly breathing in the fresh night air.
—He thought that joining us made him more interesting and cool. — Hyeori finished, laughing a little at that, it sounded totally stupid, none of them had the popularity he wanted. Sure, they were known for different reasons, even Sieun had been on everyone’s mouth lately, but not for what Jeochan and Taehoo were.
It wasn’t like they cared either, being on everyone’s or no one’s mouths, it wasn’t a concern they had, they didn’t like picking on anyone for no reason, so they didn’t have to make others talk about them, although they always would, which was why none of them really paid attention to what was said about them.
—Do you really believe that? — Sieun asked with honest intrigue, he knew that no boy said it with the desire to offend the tallest, much less Hyeori, but he found it difficult to believe that both seemed to have lost affection for the boy who used to be their friend, they were both great and warm people that they seemed to not know what resentment was, that was why Sieun felt surprised to hear it and see them act so cold on that topic.
The couple looked at each other, however, neither of them said anything, they simply took another sip of their drinks and looked at the night landscape in front of them.
Of course they thought that, but maybe Sieun doesn’t agree with their way of thinking and honestly, they both appreciated the company of the boy they called their baby more than the pale boy they used to know.
Losing Sieun would be a hard blow for them honestly.
…
— Leave it alone.
—He went to talk to those idiots, do you know what they are?
— He broke Yeonbing’s face and almost left Taehoo without a hand, I don’t think any of them would dare to put a hand on him. Besides, you already know what it’s about, Bumseok is the subject of his concern at the moment and the truth is… — Hyeori didn’t want to finish, not knowing how, simply looking at her boyfriend with begging eyes.
Sieun had gone to the two bullies to talk so he could find out what Bumseok was doing with them, although Hyeori tried to stop him, he was just as stubborn as her boyfriend.
— Listen, he’s not the one I’m interested in… Okay? It’s Sieun, I know you also wanted to move and go for him when he came out, that’s why you woke me up… I’m not doing this for Bumseok, I’m doing this for Sieun…
— Sooho… — the girl stood up, when the boy managed to get out of her grip and leave the place, the girl stopped in the hallway when she saw how Sooho was standing there, looking at the two boys who appeared in front of him, right in front of Sieun, without saying anything, Sooho began to walk towards the boy and then told him to go eat.
Hyeori linked her arm with Sieun’s when they both reached his side, smiling at him as she carried him with her while she asked him something, to prevent him from feeling tense or Sooho’s aura from clinging to him. Until they arrived at the cafeteria. The trio stood in line to buy their food when Sooho turned to Sieun. — Stop worrying about Bumseok.
— What?
— You’ve done enough already, Sieun, his attitude is not something you should defend or try to make him change… He already said a lot on his own. — Hyeori continued caressing the boy’s arm, who was really affected by that. — Whether they are using it or not, don’t you think it was his decision to stay there? He is a grown up, he’s able to understand when they want him out of interest or because they really care, I don’t think we should get involved in his decisions.
— I think Bumseok is behaving like this because he’s alone… I don’t know… It’s my guess.
The couple looked at Sieun, without saying anything, of course they knew that loneliness could be something quite difficult to cope with at a certain point, but, even so, that did not justify their words and actions, so, although they were both quite empathetic, they had both been the main victims of his comments, so they had a hard time trying to understand the boy when they really weren’t interested in doing so.
Sooho was going to say something when he heard the group enter the place, seeing how they went to the place to order their food without even bothering to stand in line, Sooho found that annoying, he didn’t like telling people what was wrong, much less Sieun, but those actions spoke for themselves, and what Bumseok was doing was behaving like an idiot, so, ignoring the warning look that his girlfriend gave him, the boy raised his voice. — Hey! What are you doing? There is a line in case you don’t see it.
Hyeori watched as Sooho walked towards the group of boys and for the first time, she hesitated to stop the boy, she really hesitated to step forward and stop him, that was until he threw Jeongchan to the ground, pushing him hard. — Get in line. — He said harshly, seeing how the other boys obeyed and noticing how Bumseok was the only one who stood in front of him.
Sieun and Hyeori watched as the taller one approached Bumseok in a threatening manner and the girl, noticing how tense the boy’s back was, really realized that she wasn’t going to do much even if she ran up to him and knocked him to the ground. Sooho’s eyes met Sieun and Hyeori’s, the girl looking at him pleadingly.
She didn’t want him to get into trouble.
— Get in line. Bumseok. — He asked, harshly, and Hyeori closed her eyes in frustration when he answered no and he stood even more firmly in front of the boy.
— Sooho, let it be. — Hyeori asked, wanting to avoid a scene when she saw the boy’s shoulder move, praying that he wasn’t going to punch him, raising her eyebrows before running towards the boy when she saw how he pushed Bumseok, with so much force that his body, the weakling of the boy, made some cafeteria tables fall.
— Enough. — Sieun asked, stopping the boy next to Hyeori, he released himself from both of their grip, almost abruptly, watching as Bumseok gave him one last look before walking away from them, leaving the room with the others.
…
Hyeori was walking home, she had gone out with some friends, that is, the daughters of her parents’ friends, to eat something, it had been a while since they had seen each other, Sooho asked her to bring her some dessert, because she knew they would go to one of those expensive restaurants they always went to, and the truth is, he liked the cheesecake from those places.
However, Hyeori forgot to order it, so now she was walking towards a bakery to look for the boy’s prized dessert, that is, until her cell phone rang, thinking it was Sooho to ask her if she had arrived home or if she was still with the girls, she took out her cell phone.
Surprised to see the name on the screen, deciding to answer. — Wooyoung, I told you that if you called me again I was going to put a damn restraining order on you. — Hyeori said in a bored voice, looking at the path she was taking so as not to miss the bakery, which was on the other side of the street.
— Yah, Hyeori, I only called because I have something interesting to tell you… For which you will thank me very much, darling.
Hyeori rolled her eyes, Wooyoung, a rather annoying boy, she had met him in one of the fights that Sooho had had at his martial arts academy when the boys had met again and had started going out to that kind of thing together, the boy he had invited her to see him as one of his seduction tactics.
That was where Wooyoung showed up, she had liked the boy at first, quite funny, kind and gentlemanly, but when he found out that she was dating Sooho he became irritable, until her boyfriend beat him up and calmed him down, he had more than a year of not speaking to him, so it seemed quite strange to see his name on her cell phone.
— Listen, I don’t want to hear anything you have to tell me, at this point I thought it was pretty clear to you. — The girl said in a bored voice, waiting for the traffic light to turn red so she could cross the street.
— Not even when it comes to Sooho?
The girl frowned when she heard her boyfriend’s name. — Sooho? — The girl questioned, waiting for a response from the boy, however, before the boy could answer, a loud beep was heard, the girl’s eyes looked in the direction of the sound before seeing how a motorcycle overturned to avoid being hit by a car and thus, the body of the person driving it rolled onto the ground.
The girl’s eyes looked at the scene with surprise, however, her heart beat irregularly when she recognized the motorcycle, noticing the compartment full of Randoms stickers that it had, the girl opened her mouth in terror when she saw the body with that aqua green with black jacket that she knew quite well.
She had bought it.
— Sooho! — Her boyfriend’s name came out of her mouth with terror, running towards the boy lying on the ground while she watched the people begin to gather around him. — Sooho, love… — Hyeori knelt in front of the boy, noticing how he grimaced in pain and breathed heavily from the pain, hung in up the call to Wooyoung, the girl dialed the ambulance number. — No, don’t move, darling…
The boy grunted in pain and Hyeori took his hand, trying to calm him down a little while she spoke to the ambulance, and trying to make the boy not close his eyes, when she finished speaking, she touched the boy’s jaw before passing her hand across his chest to try to distract him from the pain. — Don’t worry, the ambulance is coming, just don’t move too much, okay?
— Ah, shit, I won’t be able to make the last delivery. —This one said with a pout as he took the girl’s hand, looking at her and noticing her teary eyes. — You look pretty. How was the night?
Hyeori laughed a little and nodded. — It went very well, honey.
— You ate? What did you eat? — The boy asked, trying to distract himself from the pain, as well as trying to distract the girl and make her stop crying.
— Seaweed soup.
— Ash… Liar— She laughed when she saw the boy complain when he heard the food, knowing that they wouldn’t sell seaweed soup in a restaurant as expensive as the one they used to go to — Now I got hungry…
— I’ll make you soup when we leave the hospital. — She said, sighing when the ambulance arrived, raising the helmet protector, the girl left a kiss on the boy’s forehead before the paramedics arrived and lifted the boy’s body.
Hyeori grabbed her cell phone tightly, walking behind the paramedic and calling Sooho’s motorcycle insurer, asking them to pick it up.
They would pick it up later, for the moment she needed to be with Sooho.
…
—Stop moving, you’re going to hurt yourself. — Hyeori said as she entered the room.
She had taken the boy home, he didn’t want his grandmother to worry too much, so he decided to simply tell her that he would stay at his girlfriend’s house. The girl had decided to make him dinner so that he would let her sleep peacefully.
Because if Sooho didn’t eat, he was like a crying baby, he wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted. — My leg is itchy, Hyeo… — He pouted, scratching the cast on his leg, wanting to take it off so he could scratch to his heart’s content.
The girl denied, removing his hand from the cast before placing the food on the table next to the bed, sitting next to the boy, looking into his eyes. She caressed his face, giving thanks that he didn’t have any major trauma to his body besides his leg. —What happened to the motorcycle? You’ve never had an accident, and you don’t drive like a crazy, so I deduce that something happened to the motorcycle.
Sooho opened his mouth when he saw the spoon move towards it, the boy sighed and closed his eyes when he felt the exquisite taste of his girlfriend’s food, swallowing, he bit his lip to see the girl in front of him, doubting himself about if telling her what had happened was the best idea.
When the insurance company called, the girl handed the cell phone to him, because she didn’t understand much about those things. —The brakes didn’t work.
Hyeori looked up when she heard that, Sooho didn’t want to tell her more, not even what the mechanic had told him about the brakes, however, they had been together for a long time and the mere fact that the boy blurted out that information, without doing a joke about his condition or about the motorcycle made her know that there was more. – and….?
Sooho denied, not wanting to say anything, but Hyeori’s look made him flinch a little, his eyes widening when they saw her nod, standing up with the plate of food and everything. —No, Hyeori! I’m hungry. — He complained, the girl looked at him with a raised eyebrow. — Well… The mechanic checked it, and said that there were problems with the brakes…
—If you tell me the truth I will give you food, otherwise, you will sleep without food and alone in this room. — Sooho opened his mouth in disbelief, moving his hands as he saw how Hyeori began to turn around.
— Someone cut its brakes! — The boy said, making her stop in surprise, looking at him with confusion.
Cut them? Who could have done it? Yes, several didn’t like Sooho, but had never gotten to the point of doing something as deadly as that.
Hyeori’s eyes dropped to the boy’s leg, no, everyone was afraid of Sooho enough to do that, unless they had a motivation to do so.
But… Who would have a motivation after knowing that Sooho is capable of beating you until you apologize? Someone who didn’t know him.
There was no one who hated the boy enough to almost kill him, but perhaps there was someone angry or impulsive enough not to think about the consequences of their actions.
…
— You don’t have to go, God, you can barely move your leg, Sooho… — Hyeori complained as she helped the boy walk to class, she had tried to make him stay home while she went to school and told the teacher the reason for his absence so that it wouldn’t count as a deliberate absence, but he didn’t want to for a reason that was quite obvious to him.
The brakes on his motorcycle were cut, someone had wanted him to have that accident, so, if they tried to do something to him, very possibly she would be the next target and he didn’t want that, so, now more than anything he was going to be stuck to her.
The duo sat in their usual seats, Hyeori made the boy sit facing the window so as not to hurt his knee, while she took notes from the class.
…
— Another pill?
— Sooho, don’t make me give you the medicine like I give it to Jax. — The girl said tiredly, he had to take the pain pills every eight hours and according to him, it was going to poison his system with so much drug.
— Now I understand, my poor baby, you drug him without his consent. — The boy said before opening his mouth and letting the girl put the pill in before he took a drink of water to pass it down his throat.
— Hi, baby. — Hyeori said while putting the pills away, seeing Sieun’s legs in front of her.
—What happened to your leg?
— Nothing.
—He had an accident last night. —The girl said she, avoiding saying the reason for it and trying to avoid questions about it.
Although after an alleged conversation the night before, both came to a conclusion about what had happened, the name of the person responsible came to their minds in a matter of seconds and without saying a single word, they both knew that they were thinking the same thing.
— Hey… — Sooho said, calling to Bumseok who was leaving the room. — Don’t look at me, you disgust me. —He said when he saw how the boy’s eyes landed on him. — Get lost.
— What was that? — Sieun said, after Bumseok left, looking at Sooho, who took Hyeori’s hand, placing a small kiss on her knuckles before resting her head on them. Sieun turned to Hyeori, who stared at Sooho before placing a kiss on his head, resting her cheek on it before resting her eyes on Sieun, giving him a look that made him understand that he shouldn’t ask her anything.
At least, not with the boy there.
…
— Sun, I’m going to break my other leg and you’ll break something if I let you drive the motorcycle. —The girl complained, leaving the key to her father’s motorcycle in the usual place before taking the keys to the car.
— Good, but it would have been more entertaining.
—We can have entertaining moments after I recover. — The boy made a face with a smile. — Also, you owe me my birthday gift. —He smiled innocently.
— Ah, I gave it to you a few days ago, I have nothing to give you now.
The boy opened his mouth in offense at such a statement, looking at his girlfriend with a sad pout seconds later. — Yah! That was just a preview of my gift.
She raised an eyebrow, the older one couldn’t stand the girl’s eye contact, laughing, he took his girlfriend by the waist, leaving a kiss on her lips before the girl separated and helped him walk towards the door so he could go to the car — Fine, but I’m going to complain to my babies about your lack of affection on my birthday. —That’s what he said while the girl tried to get him into the car while he looked at her, threatening, clearly lying.
— Jax is still mad at you for leaving him out of the room last week.
— Yah, I wasn’t going to let my baby see obscene things like that. — Sooho said, thinking before tilting his head. —Let’s go to a store later, I’ll buy him a gift. — He smiled, she smiled, the girl nodded, leaving a kiss on his forehead before finishing putting him in the car.
The cast was gone, however, his leg was still somewhat weak, so he didn’t have to make much effort or put much weight on it, and Hyeori had told him that he would have to stop his work for a few days in order to recover well.
He couldn’t be climbing the many steps of buildings to leave orders in his condition, his parents would arrive in another week, so she had been made him to stay at home these last few days, days that Sooho cherished with his soul. He loved being able to spend time with Hyeori and their two dogs, they had even gone to bother Sieun together at that time, who at first refused to even let them into his house, afraid they would make him work again. —You still haven’t told me what we’re going for.
— It’s your birthday, I’m not going to keep you locked up in my house, Soo.
— But I would like to stay locked up in your house, with you… — He said with a pout, listening to Hyeori’s laughter, grateful that those comments didn’t bother her, it’s not like he made them every moment, but he didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable or anything like that. — You told me that I didn’t have to strain my leg too much.
—That’s not going to stop me from giving you a nice birthday. — Hyeori said as she drove calmly through the roads of Seoul.
— The two of us together with our two babies in your bed watching movies and me complaining that you find a werewolf attractive and not a vampire, sounds like a nice birthday to me. — He pouted, watching his girlfriend smile as she focused on the road.
— Well, Taylor Lautner is attractive.
—But the vampire is Robert Pattinson!
— You say it because it’s Batman. — She said, denying, while Sooho closed his mouth, maybe she was right. — Jax and Nala have gotten bored of your presence in the house.
—They are my children, how could they get bored of their father? Ah, ungrateful, I even do everything possible so that you don’t drug them and that’s how they pay me. —This one complained, noticing how the girl parks the car.
— Come on betrayed dad, Sieun and Youngyi are waiting for us.
…
Youngyi had decided to rent a small place to celebrate Sooho’s birthday, although Hyeori told her that it was not necessary, the girl wanted to do it, so she couldn’t refuse to not go to celebrate her boy’s birthday when the girl had put a lot of effort into it, because even the decoration was very pretty.
—Youngyi said she was going to a convenience store? It’s been a long time already. — The girl said looking at the photos that were in the camera that the girl carried with her, it was like a tradition, Hyeori liked to take photos on Sooho’s birthdays, on hers, and this had been like this since they both came back to meet again.
Because from that day on, her birthdays were no longer just another day for her.
Noticing both boys playing a game on the console that was in the place. —We can cut the cake later. Should we start eating without her? — Sieun asked, making Hyeori look away from the camera and Sooho pausing the game to see her with a pout.
— That… That’s an incredible idea. I love it.
Hyeori watched as Youngyi replied to her message, asking her for help with Sooho’s gift, and asking her not to tell Sooho because it would ruin the surprise. — You guys eat, I’ll go look for Youngyi.
— Hey, Hey… Where are you going? — Sooho asked immediately, letting go of the pizza box to walk towards his girlfriend.
—To look for Youngyi, she sent me her location, I guess she buys a lot of things, you know what she’s like, I’ll be back soon, okay? — Hyeori left a kiss on his lips before taking her jacket.
— Hyeori… — The girl looked at him, noticing him looking at her with some insecurity. — Bring me a Red Bull please…
— Yes, birthday boy. — Hyeori said, earning a kiss on her forehead before she looked at Sieun, pointing at the boy, who was putting the whole pizza in the microwave. — Don’t let him eat too much pizza, it makes him sick, and please don’t blow up the place… I’ll be back soon.
Why did Youngyi need her help so urgently?
