Rj's POV:

I swear to god at this point I'll become addicted to alcohol but no need to worry, I have a high tolerance and I only drink it when I'm stressed and... jealous? very funny

I mean why the hell did I go to that restaurant again? did I not torture myself enough yesterday? I could've made myself lunch or I could've eaten at the cafeteria but no, my dumbass mind led me to that restaurant again... and the universe has its way, I had to see her there... AGAIN

they had lunch together yesterday already, so is it necessary to have it again today? and yesterday I invited her for lunch today but because of how I acted this morning, we can't have that anymore. looks like she actually forgot about that too, seeing her all smiley face.

I am currently here sitting on my usual seat, yes I decided to stay because I arrived first and I won't leave. I don't care if she sees me, heck it'll be even better so she'll know that she just ditched me for our lunch date, a friendly lunch date. well I know it was partially my fault but my anger and jealousy got the best of me

"the usual?" the waiter asked me,

"the usual." I smiled and he went back

"SHIN RYUJIN??" a girl shouted and I looked in her direction to see Heejin, the girl who used to like me, she was shouting so loud she caught the attention of yeji sitting not very far from my seat.-you're wondering how she hasn't seen me? well, I was just good at hiding plus she paid attention to her 'date' so she wouldn't have noticed me.- she looked at me surprised but I just ignored her and paid attention to the girl because I was hurt too. she literally forgot our date

"Heejin? oh my god, long time no see" I said and hugged her back since she hugged me first

"it has been a long time, how have you been?" she asked me as we pulled out from the hug

"I'm doing great. my café's going well, and the company's doin great. how about you?"

"me?" she showed me her ring finger "I got married last year and now I am three months pregnant. I took a break from the job because I wanted to focus on my baby," she said as she rubbed her belly."

"who's the unfortunate lady who married you? and why am i, your ex crush not invited?" I asked as I signalled the waiter, he came right over and took heejin's order... we continued our conversation

"Please, you were not even here." she rolled her eyes "but the fortunate lady is hyunjin. remember her?"

"no way"

"yes way"

"how? I mean didn't you hate her, you hated her guts. wow"

"oh my god please stop your dramatic ass before I do something I regret" she shakes her head laughing "in all honesty, it was just her way of expressing her feelings for me, took me a long time to realise it because I was focusing on you for too long" she smiled

"I'm happy for you, heejin. truly happy" I said as our food arrived

"Enough about me. what about you? your love life?"

I sigh, "well there goes my 'date' having lunch with her date," I said as I eyed yeji's direction

"oh it's yeji?" she paused "ITS YEJI? HWANG YEJI?" she whispered-yelled "oh my god, as far as I remember you were straight?"

"yes it's the HWANG YEJI, and yes I thought so too, but now I don't wanna label my sexuality. I'm just... I don't know gay for her? only for her"

"I understand, have you confessed?"

"Nope, I was planning to, today but you see we had a small fight and here we are, eating in the same place but not together. how ironic is that"

"you really should confess, don't be afraid to ruin what you have. be selfish for once. you never know if she'll reciprocate your feelings, the faster the better"

we talked for the next who knows how long. we promised to keep in touch, we catch up and went back, completely forgetting that yeji's presence

Yj's POV:

shit shit shit... oh my god, this is all my fault. how can I forget it? I forgot our lunch date and went out with miyeon and she SAW ME!! her eyes showed that she was hurt,

"hey you okay?" miyeon asked me

"no, no she saw me, she fucking saw me"

"wait hold up, hold up. who saw you?"

"ryujin, ryujin saw me"

her eyes went wide, "no fucking way"

"yes, fucking way," I said and point towards the place where ryujin and I guess heejin? sat down

"you... you will be fine. it's not like she's aware of your feelings or something" she tried to reason with me

"you don't understand, we made a plan. to have lunch together today, but here I am, WITH YOU. what should I do?"

"hey!! I'm not so bad okay! but oh, girl! you're so gone. you kinda ditched her, I think you should go back and explain"

the universe hates me, what are the odds, for goodness sake. I went to ryujin's company and directly went to her office but she was nowhere

"good afternoon miss Hwang?" her secretary came in with files

"oh good afternoon, where's ryujin?"

"miss shin has not come back from her lunch yet"

"Alright I'll be waiting here, don't tell her I am here"

"yes ma'am," she said and went out

I sat on her couch waiting nervously for her. after waiting for around fifteen minutes, she finally arrived

"oh? yeddeong. you're here" she said as she entered her office

"y-yeah. look-" she cut me off...

"how's your date?" she asked me, hurt evident in her voice??

"well yes about that, I wanna explain to you." I was cut off again

"you don't have to explain anything, I understand. I was being a bitch this morning, acting like a brat. you have your own life, yeddeong. and finding love is an important step, you can't always prioritise me" she paused, and before she speaks again I cut her off this time...

"I like you"

a/n: there! yeji said it! how are we feeling today?
