They Were Meant To Be Together | Book 4

688.No feelings attached

"You think I'll let you shrug this off so easily?" Somi shouted.

"Somi you-"

Cutting him off, Somi asked, "What is wrong with you Hwan? Weren't we just fine yesterday? What happened to you all of a sudden and why are behaving this way? Look if this is some kind of a joke then you better stop it because I am not liking it."

"This isn't a joke and nothing is wrong with me. Whatever I am saying is true, there is no us." Hwan shouted.

"Last night-"

Cutting her off, Hwan snapped, "Whatever happened last night was a mistake and it was not meant to happen."

"Mistake? You think that was a mistake? How can you say that?" Somi couldn't understand why Hwan was behaving that way. Wasn't everything just fine last night? What happened to him all of a sudden?

"Yes that was a mistake so let's just forget what happened okay? It's not that hard anyway."

Somi frowned and shouted, "What do you mean by forget everything?" Grabbing his collar, Somi asked, "Are you trying to say that last night meant nothing to you?"

Jerking her hands off him, Hwan snapped, "Don't tell me you thought that it actually meant something."

Hwan's words pricked Somis heart really very heart and her eyes started welling up.

When Hwan saw her teary eyes, his heart ached. How badly he wanted to pull her into his embrace and hug her tightly but he knew that if he didn't shrug her off now, he would never be able to do it again.

Hwan knew that he had to choose between his friendship with Yunho and his love for Somi.

Yes, he loved her and he never realised that he did until last night. When he kissed and cuddled her to sleep last night, when he was with her for the entire night, Hwan felt so complete. His heart felt complete and now when he was deliberately pushing her away, his heart and soul felt empty. But he had no other choice.

Hwan wouldn't have pushed Somi away from him at any cost but everyone knew how much Yunho was fond of her. In fact, Yunho had a crush on her since high school and Hwan was the one who had encouraged him to step up and confess his feelings for her. And now if Hwan suddenly told everyone about his love for Somi, wouldn't it be unfair for Yunho? He didn't want to lose a childhood friend so he decided to act tough.

But he failed to realise that even if he pushed Somi away, would she ever fall for Yunho? Will pushing away Somi do any good to all the three of them? Is it right for him to set his feelings and happiness aside and keep encouraging his friend to do something that he knew would ever happen?

If something ever happened between Somi and Yunho, would he be able to see the woman he loves in Yunho's arm? How long would he be able to hold back his feelings and continue pretending?

Turning away from her, Hwan added, "And besides, it was just a kiss. It happened in the heat of the moment and was never supposed to mean anything."

"Just a kiss? That is how you are going to present it? Was it just a kiss for you? No feelings attached, nothing?" Somi asked.

When Hwan did not say anything, Quang grabbed his sleeves and shouted, "Answer me, were there no feelings attached?"

Jerking her hands off, Hwan snapped, "What are you talking about? Feelings? Have you lost your mind? It meant nothing okay? Now stop fussing about it."

"Fussing? Look Hwan I don't know what is wrong but-"

Cutting her off, Hwan shouted, "Well, nothing is wrong okay? It was just a kiss and nothing else. And aren't you from the entertainment industry? Aren't these things common there and-" widening his eyes in shock, Hwan pursed his lips. Taking a step towards her, he panicked, "I didn't mean that-"

Cutting him off, Somi mockingly chuckled, "So that is what you actually think of me?"

"No I-"

Wiping her tears away, Somi took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I was the only one who got carried away with the heat of the moment."

"Somi I did not mean to-"

Cutting him off, Somi snapped, "You aren't the first one who thinks that way so it doesn't really matter. I have heard things like this multiple times but hearing it from someone who means a lot to me, hurts a bit."

Passing him the keys, Somi said, "Just pass me by bag, I'll find a way out."

Hwan widened his eyes in? shock and shouted, "What? No, I am not leaving you alone."

Taking the keys back, Somi unlocked the car and took out her bag.

"Somi wait, we are far away from the main city. There is no way you will find a way out from here and there is no way I am letting you go anywhere all by yourself. Do you know how risky this is?" Hwan shouted. He knew it was his fault for getting carried away and spouting nonsense but how could he just let her go?

Turning towards him, Somi smiled. "I am from the entertainment industry, remember? Even if something bad happens, it's not a big deal. I am already used to it."

Hwan pursed his lips and lowered his head. "You know I didn't mean that. I can never say or think about you that way Somi. I know since we were in our diapers. I know you would never do anything like that. You would never resort to such dirty methods to achieve anything."

"Somi, Hwan." Wonwoo shouted.

Rushing towards them, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank God I found you two. You have no idea how worried everyone is for you both. Mom has been panicking since morning so dad urged me to look for you two. I have been calling you both since morning. Why didn't you receive my call? And-

Stopping midway, Wonwoo narrowed his eyes when he saw Somis red swollen teary eyes. "Wait, why is Somi crying?"

Biting her lower lip, Somi covered her mouth and rushed towards her brother and pounced into his embrace.
