Twisted Fate : Chapters 13-15
chapter 13
* the next day*
"good morning, lizzie!!!" queenie chirped happily, as she stuck some sunflowers in a basket. i was so engrossed over last nite's incident i din even notice how ugly her arrangement looked.
"morning.." i smiled at her and shina, who was watering some plants. shina smiled back, as she put on her earplugs and sang along to "all your dreams"
"i remember all of ur dreams......"
juss then, minwoo walked in. he was wearing dis black tank, dat exposed his tan, muscular arms and black cargo pants. he looked soooo good......i sat there gawking, while queenie ignored him. apparently, she was still kinda pissed at being rejected last nite.
minwoo smiled at me, and i managed a weak smile. "hi, "i sed softly.
he walked into the storage room at the back of the shop, and i followed. i shut the door carefully behind us, in case queenie overheard.
"hey, minwoo, here's ur leather jacket...thanks.....i washed it already, "
as he reached for the bag, our fingers brushed against each other and i jolted back quickly. my heart started pulsating like crazy and i looked away, blushing.
minwoo came even closer, until our faces almost touched. he smiled, as he sed softly, "c'mon, dun get all excited.....i know i'm really sexy but......"
i blushed even harder. "minwoo, stop it.....man, u are juss sooo egoistic...."
he laughed, and i could feel him breathing down my neck. the fact dat he was so near me made me so nervous.......
"about last nite......it was juss a joke ok? i was juss fooling around....dun take it so seriously yah......" he sed casually.
my heart nearly stopped, and i glared at him angrily. he lifted his eyebrow seductively and laughed it off.
"c'mon, lizzie, u din think it was for reals did u? gosh..u should see the look on ur face now.....oh man, "
i took a deep breath, trying not to let my disappointment and hurt show. "of course, "i sed coolly. "no big deal....juss dun do it again.."
minwoo smiled, satisfied. "good.....so we're still friends yah.." he clapped my back in a friendly manner.
i focused on the floor, trying to control my hot tears from spilling over. "yeah, of course we're friends......."i sed in a monotone.
*****************************************************************************
"hey lizzie!! does dongwan wanna go for the h.o.t concert?" queenie asked eagerly, as she fanned the tickets in her hand.
"i dun think so, he never was a fan of h.o.t..he thinks they suck...." i replied quietly as i thought over what minwoo sed juss now. sheesh, i never could understand this guy....does he have dual personalities or something? how can he be so sweet one second and make me so mad the next?? i shook my head....
"ooh ooh, did i juss hear something about h.o.t concert tix?" shina asked excitedly, as she threw the violets on the counter and joined us.
"yup, "queenie nodded. "cos heejun is our friend, so he gave us free tickets for the concert!!!! and we get special passes to go backstage to meet the other members!!! u wanna come along?"
"oh cool!!!! "shina shrieked as she snatched a ticket out of queenie's hand. "i get to meet kangta!"
queenie narrowed her eyes. "hey, kangta is mine!" she declared.
"no way! he's mine mine mine!!!"
"hey minwoo, u wanna come along? "shina asked as minwoo returned to the shop after a short cigarette break.
"come along where?"
"to the h.o.t concert!!! we got free tix!"
minwoo's eyes brightened up at the mention of h.o.t. i chuckled softly as i recalled how much he loved them and dat h.o.t alarm clock he had.
"sure thing!!! man, dis is sooo cool!" he shouted as he high-fived shina. "YEAH!!!"
queenie looked kinda displeased. "hmm.....ok, dat's settled....it's juss the 4 of us....."
*****************************************************************************
* at the h.o.t concert*
"WOW!!! it's soooo crowded!!! "shina exclaimed as she waved her glowstick in the air.
" yeah!" minwoo agreed, as he waved 2 glowsticks.
i sat down quietly, waiting for the concert to begin. my gaze was fixed on minwoo. the revolving colored lights illuminated his handsome profile.....and he seemed to be having the greatest time of his life.
"lizzie, get up!" queenie hissed as she chanted together with the rest of the fans.
"HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!!! heejun!!! kangta!!! tony!!! jaewon!!! woohyuk!!! wooohooo~~~~!!!"
the lights dimmed and the revolving lights rested on the centrestage. the stage slowly rose, and h.o.t appeared. the crowd went crazy!!! heejun was smiling broadly, and waving madly at his fans. his newly colored green hair bobbed up and down, as he blew loud dramatic kisses. kangta was smiling also, and he looked fabulous as usual..... shina and queenie went wild as they jumped up and down together. "kangta!!! my sweetheart!!! "shina cried. "kangta!! my babiiiieeee!!!"queenie cupped her hands over her mouth and projected her voice. tony was smiling and nodding at his fans...he looked as gorgeous and sexy as ever. * swoon* and woohyuk and jaewon looked great also. the opening notes of "outside castle" sounded and they broke into dance...everyone went crazy!!!
as the concert progressed, i got more and more hyper and minwoo was pushed to the back of my mind. "tony!!! u sexiiiieee babie!" i yelled, as he came over to shake hands. minwoo looked at me weirdly and laughed, as he danced along to "line up!"........
juss then, h.o.t switched to "the promise of h.o.t" and everyone fell silent, immersed in the beautiful ballad, and swaying to the beat. minwoo smiled at me, as he slid his arm around my waist. i looked up at him, surprised, and he bent down to kiss my cheek softly. my mind was spinning.....wat did he mean by dis? no way was i gonna let him play with me again.....i had hurt dongwan enuff and i din wanna make things worse......i gently released myself and tried not to look at minwoo.....it was hard and deep down, i knew i was falling heads over heels in love with minwoo, but i din intend to let it develop.....i was gonna leave it as dat...
h.o.t then performed their next song "wedding x'mas"......kangta's romantic voice and the sweet lyrics got me in a sappy mood, and before i knew it, tears were trickling down my cheeks. i remembered the magical kiss minwoo and i juss shared last nite, and what he sed dis morning, and i felt like my heart was tearing apart......it was juss so painful. queenie and shina didn't notice, cos they had somehow made their way to the front of the stage and were showering kangta and heejun with bouquets of flowers and teddies. kangta took a glance at queenie's self-made bouquet and nearly fainted. while heejun was cuddling a "forever friends" bear and cooing, "oooh.....dis looks like me!!!" he kissed the tip of the teddie's nose and the crowd cheered.
minwoo was observing me silently. i couldn't read the expression on his face as i hastily brushed my tears away with the back of my hand, and tried to control my emotions. suddenly, he put his arm around me and hugged me tightly. i cried even harder...i couldn't help it...the tears juss overflowed and for a split second, i thought my heart was gonna burst. "dun cry....i'm here....." minwoo whispered as he stroked my hair gently. "what's the matter??" it's u, u idiot, i scolded him inwardly thru my tears. but i juss shook my head and drew away from him. "i'm ok, dun worry....."i lied, not looking him in the eye.
"are u sure?" his concerned look was more than i could bear.
I swallowed. "yeah......juss touched by dat song....sorrie, i was being silly...."i giggled nervously.
minwoo din look convinced.
"oh, i yah!!! dat's my fave song!!!"i sed hurriedly as h.o.t started rapping.
juss then, shina and queenie returned to their seats. "oh gosh!!! did u see dat??? kangta hugged me!!" shina cried excitedly. "so what?? he kissed me on my cheek!" queenie glared at shina.
"hey pple, dat's our last song for tonite!!! thank u sooo much for coming and for ur support! we never would have made it without u guys!!! sarang hae yo!!!!" h.o.t yelled in unision as they bowed, and the crowd cheered crazily.
**********************************************************************
* backstage*
"wow, i can't believe we getta meet h.o.t face to face!" shina sed, as we scouted backstage for the makeup room. "where is the damn room?"
"it's here!!!"minwoo shouted. "hurry up!!"
we knocked at the door anxiously. "do i look ok?" queenie asked anxiously as she touched her hair. "yes, u look great....."i assured her.
"come in!!!" i smiled at heejun's sing-songy voice.
we pushed open the door. all 5 members looked up in surprise, and heejun jumped out of his seat happily. "hihihihihi!!!!!"he greeted us cheerfully.
queenie hugged him warmly. " dat was such a great concert!!! u guys were superb!"
"thanks!"heejun beamed. "oh, lemme introduce u guys...."he turned towards kangta, tony, jaewon and woohyuk. "dis is queenie, lizzie, shina and minwoo..."
"hi, "kangta smiled, and his gaze rested on shina. she looked down, and blushed.
"u're shina right? dat's a pretty name....juss like u....."
"thanks..."shina replied, embarassed yet pleased.
queenie was looking on jealously, and was about to butt in when heejun grabbed her arm and dragged her off. "hey, queenie! let's go grab something to eat!!i'm starving, i could eat a COW!!!" they were out of the room before she could even say hi to kangta.
i giggled, as minwoo, tony and woohyuk chatted and exchanged dancing tips. tony was doing some somersault, while woohyuk was doing a headstand and minwoo was doing some baby swipes. he looked so cute.....
"AHHHH!!! what are u thinking of, lizzie!!!!"i scolded myself. "no...no...no...no more thinking of minwoo!!! concentrate on dongwan instead....wannie....wannie...wannie...."
meanwhile, kangta and shina were deep in conversation, oblivious to tony's cries as he hit his head against the wooden floor and started bawling.
"shina, do u wanna go somewhere with me?" he looked at her tenderly.
"sure, oppa, "she whispered as she looked deep into his beautiful brown eyes.
kangta reached for her hand. "ok, let's go...it's getting too noisy here for my liking..."
shina laughed. tony had a huge bruise on his forehead and he was making a big fuss outta it. "damn!!! hyukie....what am i gonna do now?? it hurts.....i can't mack with dis!!"he pouted childishly as hyukie embraced him, trying to hush poor tony.
kangta rolled his eyes. "hey, pple, i'm going off with shina first ok....bye!"
shina winked at me, and i smiled. i was happy for her...kangta seemed like a really sweet guy. but wait, that means i'm stuck with minwoo again?? * groan* damn.........
*************************************************************************
* over candlelight dinner*
kangta and shina raised their champange glasses.
"to the success of h.o.t! "shina smiled.
"to meeting u......"kangta sed softly and laughed when shina turned beet-red.
they clicked their glasses, and sipped the expensive red wine as they admired the beautiful scenery overlooking the restaurant. kangta had brought her to a really posh french restaurant on the 50th floor of korea's tallest hotel, which had a wonderful view of the whole city.
"it's beautiful......"she gasped at the breathtaking view.
"not as beautiful as u....."kangta replied, smiling lovingly.
juss then, the candles went off and the restaurant was pitch-black. shina shrieked in surprise and fear, as she reached out for kangta's hand. "kangta? kangta? what's happening? where are u?" he was no where to be found........
suddenly, soft strains of music filled the restaurant and soft lights came back on. kangta stepped out of the darkness, singing " song for lady"......his beautiful voice and the romantic music blended into one...he walked over to shina, and took her hand. shina stared blankly at him.....oh my gosh, is dis for real? i must be dreaming.......she thought to herself, as her heart raced quickly. looking into her eyes, he kissed her hand lightly as his sexy lips curved into a smile.
"shina....will u go out with me? "
shina smiled back thru her tears of joy. she nodded, sniffing. "yes...yes, kangta!!!" she cried, as she threw her arms around him.
she could feel kangta's strong arms circle her waist. "i love u, shina......the moment i set eyes on u, i knew u were the one for me....i've never had dis feeling before.....i never believed in love at first sight, but now i do......i love u....."
shina kissed him on his cheek. "i love u too, oppa.....i always have....."
their lips locked, and they shared the sweetest kiss ever......for shina, it was her first....."and the last," she thought to herself blissfully.
chapter 14
"byes!!!"minwoo and i waved to the remaining members of h.o.t. tony was still sobbing over his bruise, while woohyuk was struggling to remove all the sticky gel from his hair and jaewon was reading some comic book and laughing to himself.
we walked out of the stadium quietly. "u want a lift?" i asked.
he shook his head. "nah, it's ok....i'm meeting eric first....."
"oh, i haven't seen eric for ages....how is he??"
minwoo laughed. "he's fine.....he's still working for my dad, and he's going out with dis pretty korean gal he met at some pub......yeah, he was asking about u the other day, we guys should meet up together some day....."
"sure,"
"are u sure u're ok?" he asked, looking at me carefully.
"yeah, i'm fine...thanks......" i avoided his eyes again.
he suddnely pulled me towards him, so dat i had no choice but to look him straight in the eye. he had a questioning look in them, and he seemed as though he was about to say something.....
"stop dis......"i sed uncomfortably, as i tried to free myself, but he was too strong for me.
"is it dongwan?? are u guys having some problem?"
"noooooo........"i sighed. "we're fine.....minwoo, let go...."
"if u weren't with dongwan, would u go out with me?"he asked suddenly, looking at me very intensely.
i was taken by surprise. "pardon?"
he tightened his grip. "i sed, if u weren't going out with dongwan, would u go out with me?"
i din know how to answer. i finally blurted out, "look, what business is dis of urs anyways? does it matter?"
"yes......it DOES matter......"
"i dunno....."i confessed. "but look, it's a fact dat i'm together with dongwan and nothing's gonna change it ok? so there's nothing to discuss....."
minwoo let go of me, and he looked away. i couldn't read his expression in the dark. "minwoo? u ok?"
"yeah,"he sed hoarsely. "seeya...."
"bye, "i sed softly, as he walked off into the night.
***************************************************************************
* back home*
i hesitated at the entrance of the house. dongwan and i had been drifting apart over the past month, ever since i opened the flower shop....it was weird....instead of allowing us to spend more time together cos of the more flexible work hours, we seemed to be spending less time together.....i knocked off at 8 everynite, while dongwan seemed to have alot of entertaining to do ever since he joined henry's company......he was seldom home, and i would go to sleep alone everynite.....it was scary being alone in the huge mansion, and sometimes i would cry in fear.....and even when i was with dongwan, my thoughts would return to minwoo....it was all so perplexing......
i opened the door silently. "dongwan?" i called. there was no answer. i walked into the enormous hall but no one was there. hmm, where could he be? i wondered.
juss then, i heard a shrill giggle coming from above. "ooh, wannie...stop it..dat tickles....." followed by soft moans.
WTF?? i stared at the direction of the noise in disbelief, as i slowly made my way upstairs. my legs were shaking, and my heart was thumping like crazy.....
clothes were strewn all over the staircase and landing. there was a pink camisole, a black skirt, stockings and.........lady's lingerie. i closed my eyes and tears spilled over.....how could dongwan do dis to me??
soft whimpers and giggles could still be heard coming from the master bedroom....OUR bedroom.....i slowly walked over, like in a daze, and pushed open the door.
* creak*
"who's dat???" dongwan shouted, shocked.
i was speechless at the sight of dongwan and angel park in bed together....angel park smirked, as she recognised me, and rested her head on dongwan's naked chest. dongwan had an exprsesion of complete horror and disbelief on his face when he saw my tear-stained face......he hurriedly pulled up the covers and tried to push angel park away.
"liz!!! i thought u were coming back late....u sed u were staying at queenie's place......" he spluttered, unsure of himself.
anger set in. "how could u do dis to me, u bastard???"i yelled, as i rushed forward and slapped him hard across the face. "u jerk!!!!"
tears were spilling down my cheeks but i din care........i looked like some crazed woman i bet.....but there was no way i could be calm at the sight of my fiance in bed with some slut!!!
dongwan was shaking his head vehemently. "no lizzie...hear me out....."
"what's there to explain???? "i shouted. "u bastard, i never wanna see u again!!! we're finished!!!" with dat, i slapped him again and ran out of the house.
"lizzie!!! lizzie!!!!!" dongwan called after me desperately. "i'm really sorry....i was drunk......i din know what i was doing......lizzie, i love u.......it's all a misunderstanding....."
angel park spoke up then. "dat wasn't wat u sed earlier though, wannie....u sed u loved me onlie......isn't dat right?"
"SHUT UP!!!" dongwan yelled, furious. i could hear stuff being flung around as they got into a fight.
* crash* a vase was smashed to bits.
i covered my ears with my hands, and shut my eyes. i wanted to believe dat dis was some nightmare....that when i opened my eyes, everything would be back to normal....but i knew dis was impossible......dongwan had betrayed me.....dis was a fact......hot tears trickled down my cheeks as i dashed out of the house and into the night....thunder roared as raindrops splattered down, and got heavier and heavier every second........
******************************************************************************
somehow, i had managed to find my way to minwoo's apartment. i hesitated outside his door....should i ring the bell? was minwoo in in the first place?
* ding dong*
i waited there, studying the doormat intently. my mind was in a whirl and the sight of dongwan and angel park together in bed kept flashing in my tired mind..........
the door flung open, and there stood minwoo in his boxers. he seemed very surprised to see me. "lizzie? what's the matter?"
his soft, concerned tone completely took over me, and i broke down crying.
"what happened?" he asked as he reached out and hugged me tightly.
i couldn't stop crying, as i flung my arms around him. in his arms, i felt warm, secure and protected......."dongwan.....dat bastard......" i sobbed.
"did he do something to hurt u??" minwoo asked grimly, as he led me into his house and shut the door behind him. "here, sit down," he sat down on the sofa next to me, and gently wiped away my tears.
"i found him in bed with angel park.....dat jerk.....!" tears brimmed in my eyes again.
minwoo was silent. but his eyes were blazing with anger and pain. he kissed my forehead and drew me closer towards him.
" dat bastard...i won't let him off," he swore. "forget it, liz, i knew he was a jerk the first day i saw him......u deserve better.....stop crying now....."
i sniffed and managed a small smile. "i guess......."
minwoo lifted my chin up towards his face so dat our eyes met. i was mesmerised by them.....suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed me on the lips. the warmth, the softness, the sweetness.....all the memories of our magical kiss we shared 2 nites ago came flooding back.....i closed my eyes and kissed him back passionately.
his light, feathery kisses trailed down my lips and to my neck....his hand gently brushed against my cleavage, and my eyes fluttered open....
his eyes were burning with passion and love, as he whispered softly, "may i?"
i pulled him towards me and kissed him hard on the lips. "i love u, minwoo........"
*******************************************************************
* the next morning*
i smiled at the sight of minwoo sleeping so soundly.he looked so relaxed and sweet.....i kissed him softly on his cheek and traced his prominent jawline lovingly. "i love u, minwoo....."i whispered over and over again. suddenly, minwoo pulled me towards him and planted a kiss on my lips. i giggled and stroked his purple hair lovingly.....he opened his eyes and grinned.
"so u were awake all along huh?"i asked, kissing the tip of his nose.
"uh-huh," he kissed me hungrily on the lips, and drew me close.
"u naughty boy!"
he smiled. "i love u, lizzie...." dis was the first time i'd seen him so serious. he stroked my cheek gently. "i love u so much..."
"me too, "i sed contentedly as i rested my head on his bare chest.
"then what are u waiting for?" he smiled sexily as he turned over, crushing me under his weight, and kissed me fiercely.....
chapter 15
* at the flower shop*
"u guys are late!!!" queenie frowned. "it's past noon!!! and how come u're together?"
minwoo and i exchanged knowing looks. "sowwie, "i sed. "we had to do something...."
"oh yeah, and dongwan called like, 20 times.....he sounded very anxious....he asked u to call him back the minute u return..." shina added, as she handed me the phone.
my good mood kinda disappeared, as i remembered what had happened last nite. "nah, i'm not calling, "
"why not?" shina asked, surprised. "he sounded very panicky juss now...are u guys having some problems?"
"we broke up, "i sed simply. "we're finished."
"WHAT???"queenie and shina shrieked in unision. they looked at each other, their eyes big, and cupped their hands over their open mouths. "u guys BROKE UP??"
"yeah...i caught him in bed with some slut...in OUR house!!!" i could feel anger and pain rise up within me again.
minwoo put his arm around me and hugged me tightly. "dun worry, lizzie, i'm here...i won't let anyone hurt u..."he sed softly.
by now, shina and queenie had looks of utter shock on their beautiful faces and their eyes were as big as saucers. "u guys are going out?" shina managed finally.
"yup, "i smiled, reaching for minwoo's hand.
"oh. my. gawd." queenie looked as though she was gonna faint any second.
i tried to change the subject. "hey, so how were ur dates last nite?" i looked at queenie and shina expectantly.
shina giggled, as she told us how kangta had serenaded her last nite at the restaurant and asked her out. "he's juss soooo romantic and fione...i was completely bowled over...." her eyes took on a dreamy look.
"lucky u, "queenie grunted. "i was stuck with dat greedy pig... gawd, u should see how much he eats!!! "she shook her head in disbelief. "i was shocked!!! we went to dis burger joint, and he ate like 8 burgers!!! and after dat, he was still hungry and we went to dis 24-hour cafe for dessert! and he gobbled down the whole blackforest cake! dis guy sure can eat..no wonder he's so chubby!"
we giggled, as queenie rolled her eyes. "and he's such a cheapo....i thought he might bring me to some posh restaurant since he's a star and he's rich and all dat.....but nooo!!! i never wanna see him again...and he talks so much and thinks he's so adorable...bleah!"
"c'mon, heejun isn't all dat bad...."i consoled her. "yeah, "shina echoed. "he seems real friendly..."
juss then, the fone rang. queenie reached for it. "hello, sunshine garden, how-may-i-help-you?" she sed in a bored tone.
she cupped her hand over the receiver and mouthed, "it's dongwan.."
"noooo...say i'm out...."i whispered back, waving my hands around in protest.
queenie nodded. "she's not in, dongwan,"she sed coldly. without waiting for him to reply, she slammed down the phone.
"done!!! i never would have thought he was such a jerk!!"
juss then, the phone rang again. we looked at each other. "i'll answer it, "minwoo offered. "hello?"
"it's for u, shina...it's kangta..."
shina squealed in excitement and she snatched the phone out of minwoo's hand and pushed him aside roughly.
"hullo, Kangta darling?" she cooed demurely.
minwoo and i smiled at each other, while queenie was looking on jealously, as she peeled off the petals of a pink rose. "he loves me....he loves me not...he loves me....he loves me not...."she threw down the petals and pouted.
"c'mon queenie..u should be happy for shina..."
she sighed. "i guess i am....i know such stuff can't be forced."
"and anyways, u got heejun!" minwoo smirked, and queenie lashed out at him.
"NO WAY!!! i'm not going out with dat pig....hmm, mabbe he can introduce me to some other guy..like fany from fly to the sky?? he's so fione man..."
"sorry, "shina sed as she hung up the phone. "i heard he alreadie has a childhood sweetheart, and they're planning to get married next year...."
"oh damn!!!"queenie yelled, frustrated.
juss then, the fone rang again. "shiet, why does dis damn phone keep on ringing? it's driving me nuts!!! "queenie glared at the phone hatefully, and i was worried she might smash it any second....
"hello?"shina picked up the phone. the guy on the other line was speaking so loudly dat shina had to hold the phone away.
"it's heejun, "she whispered. queenie's eyes rolled back and she pretended to faint on the sofa right there.
"err, she's out making deliveries....yeah, ok, bye..."
queenie got up immediately. "what he say??"she demanded.
"he's around dis area and he wanted to ask u out for tea...he sounded very disappointed...."
"tea!!! my foot!!! can't dis guy think of anything else besides FOOD??? arGH!"
suddenly, shina's face brightened up. "hey, kangta invited u guys over to his house dis saturday....cos it's my birthday and he wants to celebrate it for me...." she blushed.
"awww, dat's soooo sweeet!!!" i cried. "sure, we'll be there!!!"
queenie narrowed her eyes. "will there be any cute guys?"
shina shrugged. " i have no idea..i think most prob it'll juss be the usual bunch..tony, woohyuk, jaewon, and heejun...."
queenie fainted again when she heard heejun's name.
"oh, and kangta sed to invite ur other friends if u wanna.." shina smiled.
"hey, let's ask eric and his gf ok?" i suggested excitedly, tugging at minwoo's shirt.
"anything u say, my darling...."
" OK, so dat makes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...yups, 6 pple in total! i'd better call my muffin and tell him...."she giggled happily.
* later dat evening*
kangta came to pick shina up in his green jaguar while queenie had left earlier in the afternoon, saying dat she had a headache after her last heejun encounter.
as minwoo and i were about to leave, a figure stepped out of the shadows. dongwan!!!
"lizzie, i gotta talk to u..."dongwan sed hesitantly. "i know u're really mad at me...and u wouldn't take my calls...."
"juss fuck off, u bastard! "minwoo shouted, pushing dongwan roughly. taken by surprise, dongwan fell to the ground.
"what's he doing here?" he asked angrily, as he got up, and wiped the dust off his leather pants. he shoved minwoo back.
"look, it's none of ur business...we've broken up already...i dun have to explain anything to u...."i sed coldly, as i held on to minwoo's hand tightly and started to walk off.
dongwan grabbed my arm. "wait!!! i know i was wrong....but i was really stoned last nite! i din know what i was doing! i'm sorry lizzie!"
"hell, u looked perfectly sober last nite when i caught u in bed with dat bitch! i've had enuff of ur excuses, kim dongwan!!! i dun care how many girls u've been fucking behind my back, but dis is the last straw!!! i never wanna see u again!!! "
dongwan looked helpless. "please lizzie, gimme another chance..i promise i won't do dis again....i love u....really....i'm sorry...."
minwoo's face was contorted with fury and he looked as though he was gonna punch dongwan any second. i tightened my grip on his hand, hoping dat he wouldn't do anything foolish......
"are u going out with him? "
"yes...." i answered coolly, looking him straight in the eye.
dongwan laughed in disbelief. "what the fuck!!! dis guy is like the most notorious playboy in the whole of korea!!! everyone knows dat!!! u can't forgive me dis one time, but u can put up with his affairs??? and we've been together for so long!!! and have u forgotten how he treated u? are u outta of ur mind, liz?"
"i dun care....all i know is u let me down! u disappointed me and there's no way i can forgive u!!!"
dongwan was speechless, as minwoo and i walked over to the car quickly. it was drizzling again as we drove off....
******************************************************
* at minwoo's house*
"what are u thinking of?" minwoo asked gently as he stroked my cheek. we were cuddled up on his sofa listening to soft music and juss enjoying being together. the living room was in complete darkness, cept for a scented candle dat gave off whiffs of vanilla and cast a shadow on minwoo's handsome face....
i was silent for awhile. "nothing...."
"uh-huh...u're lying i know...tell me...wat's the matter?"
i took a deep breath. "i guess i'm kinda worried.."
"about?" he kissed my forehead softly.
"what dongwan sed juss now was quite true...i can't tolerate my bf going out with other girls behind my back...i juss can't...and i'm scared..." my voice trailed off as i looked away miserably.
minwoo tilted my chin, so dat i was facing him. "are u worried dat i might betray u?"
i nodded, thru my tears. i loved him so much, and i couldn't bear the thought of him in bed with some other girl, and i knew dat might happen anytime given his playboy nature..
minwoo kissed my lips tenderly. "i won't.....i promise i won't..." but i wasn't convinced and i guess my expression told it all.....
he held me tighter. "i know i used to be a player....i never valued relationships at all, or even knew what love truly was...isn't it weird? a grown man of 21 who's never fallen in love before? but dat was until i met u.....u changed everything...i can give up everything juss for u.....i promise i won't ever make u cry again........i love u, lizzie....trust me..."
my tears were spilling over now, and he kissed them away. "u're my only one......"
i was so touched and my heart overflowed with joy. i kissed him back. "i love u too, minwoo......"
