Twenty three |

Hyeji casually sat on the seat provided, watching people practice motor crossing in the track. Hyeji? Just finished her 3 laps earlier.

It's fun being Hyeji.

Her life is never boring

Sometimes she works at the café, depends on her shift; morning shift or night shift. Most of the times she spends her time at the workshop, her main job. On the weekend, she'll be doing motor crossing here with her friends and if she got extra time, she plays at the circuit at night when there's no one so she can drive how long she wants.

She loves being actives.
She's always active since she was a kid, her parents taught her to not spend time at home too much.

That's one of the reasons why she can't be with Seonwu.

He wanted her to stay at home and only go out with him. He wanted to gatekeep her from the world but she's a social butterfly, she socializes with everyone doesn't matter boy or girl.
Seonwu just got jealous easily, he's crazy if he thinks she would listen to him.

Talking about Seonwu, she hasn't heard about him for times now.

Great that happened and she hoped it stays that way.

Hyeji slowly overcame her trauma and has been spending time a lot on the circuit. Of course, with Jisung.

She felt like her life is slowly healing and slowly she glows up even more.

About her feelings towards Jisung, yes she admitted it. She fell for him. Badly.
She didn't find times to talk about it with yet though. She wants to find a perfect time for it and when she's really ready.

Time passed.

Hyeji and Jisung were currently hanging out at the back garden of Hyeji's house. Haechan invited the Dreamies to come over and played games also have a dinner together.

Jisung also decided to spend time with Hyeji instead.

They just casually take some fresh air outside watching the sunset, sitting on the bench. Hyeji really thinks she should talk about what she feels towards Jisung.

'Should I or should not?' –Hyeji had been thinking the same questions for the nth times now.

Jisung turned his head towards the girl, "What's wrong? You want to talk about something?" he asked and Hyeji pursed her lips together before nodding her head.
"Oh me too –but you go ahead first"

"Actually Jisung, I–"

As Hyeji about to voice out, her phone rang, cutting her off and making the girl internally screamed. "I swear to God..." she mumbled before picking up the call.

"Hello?" she said before turning to Jisung who was patiently waits for her.

"Hello? Am I speaking to Hyeji?" the girl furrowed her eyebrows, "Yes, I am. Who is this?" the girl on the other line sighed in relief, "Hyeji, it's Seonwu mother"

Hyeji straightened her back, "Yes ma'am..." she answered which made Jisung raised his eyebrows, questionably.

"I'm sorry if I'm disturbing your time but this is about Seonwu..."

"But ma'am... I already broke up with Seonwu" Jisung frowned a little, hearing Seonwu's name.

"I know sweetie but can you come to the ** hospital? We really need you here"

Hyeji once again turned towards Jisung, copying Jisung's face, frowning.

"Please sweetie, I pleaded. Just this one time and I won't disturb you anymore, I promise. I know how bad you ended with my son..."

Hyeji bit her bottom lip and quietly sighed, "sure ma'am, I'll be there..."
With that, Hyeji ended the phone call and turned to Jisung.

"Jisung..."

"Why? You need to go somewhere? Is that Seonwu's mother?" Jisung asked, worry if she had to meet her shitty ex.

"Yes, her mother asked me to go to ** hospital now, I have no idea why"

Jisung frowned even more, "** hospital? Isn't that... mental hospital?"

Hyeji shrugged, "I'm sorry but I need to go, we'll talk again okay?" she got up and tried to walk away but Jisung grabbed her wrist. "I go with you"
The girl flashed a comforting smile and removed his hand away, "It's okay Jisung, I'll be back"

Jisung sighed, "it's fine... I'll drive you there, I won't follow you inside but I'll drive you there— let's go"

The words, 'I'll be back' triggered Jisung so much. He hates those words because that's what Aera said to him but she never come back.

"Jisung, are you sure? I'm really fine driving alone"

"I know you're fine but I'm not— moreover when you can expect anything outside" he muttered while putting on his jacket. Hyeji tilted her head, "are you worry... about me?"

"Of course I am, after what Minhyuk did to you, I know he got his eyes on you now. He is my opponent but his target always be the person that I love" He left the house towards his car.

Hyeji raised her eyebrows, "person that he loves?"
