The New Girl Next Door | Lee Felix |

Hyunjin's POV

She became quiet as soon as I reminded her about her promise to Caius. I knew it. She never felt happy after what happened. Who will be happy, right? Even I, I can't even celebrate any birthdays of my friends.

"Is it me, to be happy?" Eunjoo asked

"Yeah, that's what he wants. He also wants you to forgive Felix and his cousin"

"I am currently having a messed up mind but I think I'm going to be happy once I leave this country. Don't worry, I will be happy soon" Eunjoo smiled

"You are leaving?"

Eunjoo nodded.

"How about Jihyun? Xera? Us?"

"Jihyun will be fine. I trust you that you will take care of her. Also, my brother and Mom aren't going with me. It's just me, alone. You guys, you are all grown up. You all can take care of yourselves. You can even join gangs and you all even know how to handle guns. Why would I worry about you all?" Eunjoo smiled again

"How about Felix?"

The smile on her face is gone and her eyes changed. The atmosphere is now different compared to earlier.

"He'll be fine. I know he is going to be fine" Eunjoo

"Wow, I just hope you know how he tried to stop himself from talking to you. He wants to talk to you but he was too afraid that you will hate him even more"

"No, I don't hate him. In fact, it's still him. It's always him but this is not the good time for us. I'll talk to him when I will have the chance. I also want to ask how is he and all" Eunjoo

"He'll be happy to hear that"

"He should be hahaha it's been a month" Eunjoo laughed

"So, when are you leaving?"

"This week. Anyway, we need to go home, the princess is waiting for me. Do you want to ride?" Eunjoo

"Is it okay?"

"Of course, she's been wanting to talk to you but like you, she is too shy and afraid. So, this is your chance" Eunjoo

"Right"

"We will leave now, Caius. I'll visit you soon again" Eunjoo

Eunjoo and I walked to Jihyun's car, she knocked and the door unlocked. Eunjoo opened the door for me and she sat at the back seat. I don't have any choice but to sit beside Jihyun, who will drive. I got in and sat quietly.

"E-Eunjoo, why are y-you sitting t-there?" Jihyun

"Ah, I'm going to meet someone at the restuarant we saw earlier" Eunjoo

"Y-You are leaving u-us alone?" Jihyun

"Yup, why? We know Hyunjin, he is not some stranger or what. Why are so nervous? Besides, you two can talk, you know" Eunjoo

I took a quick glance of Jihyun and she looks so worried. Wow. I never thought that I will be really a complete stranger to her.

She started driving without saying anything. She became silent after Eunjoo mentioned that we need to talk. I will really talk to her this time. I will really not let her avoid me again. After a couple of minutes, Jihyun parked the car near the restaurant.

"So, I'll go and meet someone now. I hope you two will have a good talk. I'll see you two when I see you. You take care of her, Hyunjin. Bye!" Eunjoo said and got out of the car

I heard Jihyun sighed.

She glared at me "Did you planned this too?! Tell me you didn't!"

"I-I didn't but I've been wanting to talk to you"

She didn't answered and continued driving her car. You can do this, Hyunjin. You did this before, you made her yours. You can hold guns, can fight, can punch anyone but why are you hesitating to talk to this hard headed girl beside you?

"S-So, you are driving? I didn't know"

"Because I didn't tell you" Jihyun

"Right, you didn't"

Jihyun quickly parked the car on the side and glared at me "Now, talk"

"H-Huh?"

"Fine, I'll do it. I am so sorry for being so sensitive. I was just worried about Eunjoo. I-I thought she died, I thought she really left me. It broke my heart but what broke my heart even more is when you told us that you knew about what happened. It felt like I was betrayed by you, I never thought you will be hiding such things to me. I thought you will trust me from that day we confessed but I was wrong. Anyway, I am still sorry, I overreacted. I've been wanting to talk to you but I was scared that you hate me because of what I told you-" Jihyun stopped talking when I held her hand

"I am also sorry for not telling you. I was wrong for keeping it as a secret"

"No, I understand" Jihyun sighed and looked away "What now? I hope we are already okay"

"T-That's it?"

"What do you mean?" Jihyun looked at me

"Y-You told me t-that day that y-you want us to s-stop"

"You are a gangster, you fight everyone, you act cool, you are every girls' ideal type, you go to school looking so cool but why are you so slow?" Jihyun

"Huh?"

"That's automatic, Hyunjin. We are okay now, we are back together. You are my suitor again or-" Jihyun

"O-Or?"

"Whatever, just be my boyfriend" Jihyun smirked

"Y-You mean, w-we are now i-in a relationship?!"

"Should I say yes or..." Jihyun smiled and kissed me

Damn.
