11: Aftermath

After everyone had each of their turn singing, the group then decided to abolish the bet and just enjoy their time singing random songs. Party songs, international songs and even those child hood songs that the school taught them.

Everyone was in their euphoria, even Wonyoung who got robbed by her happiness for the past year is seen smiling and laughing.

But all of this happiness comes to an end as they were notified that they only have five minutes left with their session. The two hour felt like a minute for them.

The five of them parted ways, splitting into two groups. Wonyoung and Yujin was picked up by Wonyoung's driver while the boys walked to the bus stop to catch their bus.

"I missed you."

Yujin said out of nowhere.

Wonyoung gave her a confused look as she has been with her all the time for the past years.

"Are you referring to me?"

Yujin nodded as response.

"Are you sick? I've been with you for the past years."

Wonyoung chuckled.

"No I am not. I was referring to your old self."

"After what happened back then, you became so cold and your attitude changed. I never liked it but I had to tolerate because I knew you were hurt."

"But it's different now, we have new friends and I think it's safe to say that you can go back to your old self."

"I'm not saying that you should do it right away but you should try gradually opening yourself up now."

Yujin said.

Wonyoung was unable to respond to what her friend said. She had no idea that changing her personality and attitude would hurt her the closest person she has.

" I am sorry. "

" No, don't be. It's not wrong but you know that you're also hurting yourself in the process. I hope you can be true to yourself now. Specially that you have a lot more people to rely on."

Wonyoung hugged Yujin which her friend reciprocated.

"Thank you."

Wonyoung muttered as Yujin caressed her back.

. . . .

The exhaustion hit Sanghyuk after he plopped himself in his bed. The aftermath of doing something that you really enjoyed. But for Sanghyuk it does not matter, because he knew that the bond that they made was strengthen which will eventually result to a life long friendship.

Sanghyuk is on the verge of passing out when he saw his phone lit up. He sat up and check what it is and saw a message from Wonyoung.

"I did not know you can sing very well."

A compliment from her whom he did not expect. The exhaustion somehow vanished after reading the message that he got from her.

"Thanks, not gonna lie. I was surprised by how unique your voice is too."

He stood up, preparing to wash himself as he had a boost of energy to do something for the night.

"Did you had any vocal lessons when you're young?"

"No, I just sing in the bathroom when I take showers."

"You do that too?"

"I think everyone does that, some even claims that their voices are like enhanced when they sing while they shower."

"Really? I thought I was weird because I do that."

"If you're weird, then I am weird too and everyone else who has that habbit."

Sanghyuk was smiling all night even after taking a shower. To the point where he did not notice her sister standing at his front door while smirking.

"I guess my baby brother has found his love interest."

Hyewon smirked.

Sanghyuk looked like he got electrocuted when he jolted after hearing his older sister's voice.

"What do you mean love interest."

He said, hiding is phone.

"Don't even try to deny it, I'm sure I will no of this in the future."

"But for now, let's go and eat dinner."

Hyewon left the room afterwards.

Sanghyuk check his phone and saw a reply from Wonyoung.

"I'm going to eat dinner, thanks for the laughs."

"Me too, my noona just walked in and called me for dinner. It's nothing, I'd be more interesting if you talk to us more often tho than give us the cold shoulder."

"Hey I don't do that!"

"Yes, you do. Hahaha. Anyway, I gotta go their already calling me."

"Bye."

Both got off their phones and went to eat dinner.

Sanghyuk has his whole family with him eating dinner, they all talked about their day and hilarious stories or happenings that happened. A perfect family, which was so different in Wonyoung's case. It is a weekday so she only has herself as company during dinner. Both of her parents are still at work, as both claimed to be in an important appointment or meeting.

After dinner, Sanghyuk went to his room and checked on Wonyoung hoping to continue their conversation earlier.

"Psst hey, I just finished dinner. I have a question."

While waiting for her reply, he took his guitar and started playing some tunes. Entertaining himself to get hold of his impatient self.

"Hey, I just finished too. What is it?"

Sanghyuk's immediate smile comes out as he saw her reply.

"If you are giving a chance to time travel, will you travel to the past or the future?"

"I guess past?"

"Why?"

"Because I want to choose the other options on all the choices I have to make. You know, just to know if I will still end up with what I am now."

"I guess she has a lot of regrets before."

He thought.

"How about you? Where do you want to go?"

"Me? I think I'll visit my future."

"Why?"

"Because I want to know what my future looks like, will I be successful or not. You know?"

"That takes away the element of surprise, isn't it?"

"Now that I think of it, it really does spoil the surprises."

"So are you still going to travel to the future?"

"Maybe, but I'd travel to the future where I don't exist anymore. In that way I can use it as an escape from my reality."
