# Special Chapter : KyuNee Story Episode 3
Ha Nee
looks at him from the corner of her eyes. The guy hasn’t even said a word since
they enter the car. If the ride to the mall few hours back was filled with
talks and laughs, their way back home is filled with silence. Ha Nee don’t know
if she should say something or not. But, this silence choked her. The last word
she hear from him was his ‘give me your hand’ half an hour ago.
[Flashback]
“Well.
Park Kyuhyun-shi. Are you Ha Nee’s boyfriend or what?” asks Minho.
Kyuhyun
give him a smile before answering him.
“No.” he
said. His hand curled up into a ball.
“I’m her
boyfriend-to-be.” He adds and punched him on his left cheek.
Minho
lied on the floor, with some blood on his lower lip.
Ha Nee
was shocked. Eventhough she already saw this coming, but she can’t believe that
he really did it. People around them start to stop what they are doing and
looked at them. Everyone is assuming what is happening. Whispers can be heard from
everywhere. But, Kyuhyun doesn’t care a bit. He walked to the guy who is still
lying on the floor, moaning in pain. Kyuhyun walks to him and sit beside him.
“That’s
for hurting Ha Nee few years back. And this,” he takes out a band aid from the
band aid box he’s holding and put it on Minho’s chest before he add,
“is a
gratitude, a ‘thank you’ from me for leaving her.” with that, he stand up and
walk to Ha Nee. He pulls her hand and takes all the plastic bags on the bench.
“Let’s
go.” he said and head to their car.
Arrive at
the car, still not letting go of Ha Nee’s hand, he put all the plastic bags at
the back seat. After closing the back door, he move to the front seat and open
the door before asking Ha Nee to get in.
“Give me
your hand.” He suddenly said.
“Huh?” Ha
Nee looks at Kyuhyun who is still standing beside her outside the car,
confused.
Kyuhyun
then just stretch out his hand and take Ha Nee’s left hand before he squats
next to her. He takes out a band aid and put it on Ha Nee’s elbow where it was
hurt earlier. Done with that, he put her hand on its’ original position and put
the seatbelt on her. He then get in the car and after wearing his, he then
drove away.
[End of flashback]
Ha Nee
glance at Kyuhyun once again.
“Kyu.”
she calls.
“Erm…” he
answers.
“Are you
mad?” she asks.
“No.” he
replies.
“Then,
what’s with the look?” she asks again, looking at Kyuhyun’s mix expression that
she can’t even interpret.
“Don’t
worry. I’m fine. It’s just that I’ve…” he stops.
“Forget
it.” He said a while later.
And that
bring them into silence once again.
*****
[Soo Il’s POV]
I look at
Ha Nee and Kyuhyun. The atmosphere is a bit…‘out of place’. It looks like
something is wrong between those two. Did they fight? But they are still
helping each other like always. But something seems a bit off since they got
back from the mall. Who should I ask? Kyu? Ha Nee?
[End of Soo Il’s POV]
“Ha Nee.”
Mrs. Park calls the girl. She asks her to taste the dish she’s cooking.
Soo Il
then take the chance and approach Kyuhyun.
“What are
you doing?” she asks.
Kyuhyun
looks at her and raise one of his brows. Using the knife he’s holding, he point
at the fishcakes on the cutting board.
“Wrong
question.” He replies.
“What do
you want?” he asks back.
Soo Il
giggle before she add,
“After
you are done with the fishcakes, can you accompany me to the bakery?”
“Why? Are
you buying a three-tiers cake that you even need my help?” he ask, jokingly.
“That’s
not funny.” She said with a stern look but it change into a ‘kitty-eye’ look
second after.
“Please…”
she begs.
But she
was ignored. Kyuhyun keep cutting the fishcakes.
“Kyu…come
on. I need someone to hold the cake while I drive.”
“Or
someone to drive while I hold the cake.” She adds.
“Just put
the cake on the passenger seat and make sure it wears the seatbelt. Everything
is going to be fine.” he said.
“Kyu!!!”
she said while giving him a light punch on his shoulder.
“What?”
he asks, laughing.
“Kyu…please?”
she asks again.
Looking
at her, he sighs.
“Are you
sure there’s no other means behind this?”
She
shakes her head, smiling.
“Promise.”
She said, making a peace sign with her finger.
“So,
what’s going on?”
“Kim Soo
Il, we’ve only been in the car for two minutes.”
“I can’t
wait any longer.” She said, reasoning
herself.
“And
you’ve promised me that I’m going solely for the sake of accompanying you who
is so afraid that the cake will get into ‘accident’.”
“Yeah,
you’re accompanying me. But, it’ll be too bored if we just stay silent, right?
We need to talk along the way. And this is the biggest issue right now. So,
let’s talk about this.”
He sighs.
“Today is
hyung’s birthday. A special day of your loves one. You’re busy making today a
perfect day. I don’t want to trouble you.”
“And
you’re his brother. It won’t be perfect if not everyone is happy. Plus, you’re
a friend that I love too. Kyu, you’re the one who gives me advises when I’m in
need. Now, let me at least repay some.” She said, looking at him.
“There’s
nothing going on, to be honest.”
“Then
what’s with the atmosphere between you two? You both didn’t say even a single
word to each other since you got back from the mall. Something happened there?
Did you fight?”
“No, we
didn’t.” again, he sighs.
Soo Il
just wait till Kyuhyun want to let it all out. She doesn’t want to put more
pressure on him. About one minute later, Kyuhyun give up. He needs to talk
about it with someone.
“We met
Minho at the mall.” He starts.
“Minho?”
she asks, then realizes who did Kyuhyun actually means.
“MINHO?!!
You mean Choi Minho?”
“Yes.
Choi Minho, Ha Nee’s ex-boyfriend.”
“And?”
“I
punched him.”
“Seriously?!
Why? Wait. Did that jerk do something to Ha Nee? I saw a band aid on her elbow
earlier.”
Kyuhyun
let out a small laugh.
“Cool
down, Soo Il. They’re just talking…I guess.” He said, unsure, when he remembers
that Ha Nee was going to slap that guy earlier.
Do not
want to trouble Soo Il, he decide to not tell her that. He then add,
“Her
elbow was hurt because she fell down while looking for the seaweed.” He chuckle.
“Ooh…so,
you punch him. Then what? I’m sure that it’s not because of the punch that you
two become that awkward.”
“Yeah.
It’s not because of the punch. It’s because of what I said before the punch.”
He paused, then adds,
“Actually,
I don’t know what’s going on between the two at the moment because I wasn’t
there. I was buying the band aid for Ha Nee and when I went back at where I
leave her, he’s already there. I don’t know what they’re talking about but Ha
Nee looks angry. So I approached her right away. After we introduce ourselves,
I know right away that he’s Ha Nee’s ex. And this Minho guy suddenly asks me if
I’m Ha Nee’s boyfriend.”
“Kyaa…oh
my, this is so exciting. What did you answer him?” Soo Il suddenly screams and
asks excitedly.
“Yah!!
We’re in the serious mode right now.” Kyuhyun said before he laughs, followed
by Soo Il.
“Whatever
mode it was, I’m just too excited to stay silent. What’s your answer? Did you
say yes? Is that why you two are awkward?”
Kyuhyun
laughs at Soo Il’s act.
“How did
hyung control you? You’re just too loud.” He said and let out another laughs.
“We
didn’t control each other. We just do what we want.” Soo Il said, giving him a
fast answer, and add,
“Now,
let’s back to today’s event. What’s your answer?”
“I said
no. Bu…”
“You said
no?! You should’ve say ‘yes’. That’s the chance.” Soo Il cuts in.
“Chance?
What chance?”
“Confession,
of course.”
“What
confession?”
Soo Il
rolled her eyes at the question.
“You like
her…no, no. Let me change the question. You love her, don’t you?”
Kyuhyun
choked his own saliva. He coughs and clears his throat.
“So, I
was right?” Soo Il ask with a big grin on her face.
“How did
you…”
“I know?”
she chuckle.
“I’ve
been monitoring you guys, you know. Never mind about that. The point is, I
know. Now, let’s talk about you. Since you said ‘no’, so it wasn’t because of a
confession. Then, what was it?”
“You
should have listened till a finish my line earlier. When he asked me that, I
said ‘no’ but right before I punch him, I said, ‘I’m her boyfriend-to-be’ and
punch his face.”
“Wow.
That’s cool.”
“But I
shouldn’t have said that. Now, how am I going to face her?”
Soo Il
suddenly laugh out loud.
“Yah, is
this the person who persuade Park Jungsoo to confess to me? Is that really you,
Park Kyuhyun?”
Soo Il
stops laughing and add,
“According
to your hyung, there was once, after we met again, you gave him another round
of advices. And you said, if it’s you, if you like the girl, you’ll just go to
her and tell her that you like her right there and then.”
“But it’s
not that easy. Hyung was right. It’s not that easy.”
“Haha…Jungsoo
oppa said this once. If one day, Kyuhyun
happened to tell me that he don’t know how to confess to Ha Nee, I really want
to say this to him, ‘are you going to only look at her from afar for the rest
of your life?’.” She imitates Jungsoo and laugh.
Kyuhyun
chuckle. He remembers saying those words to his brother not long ago.
“Pull
your strength Kyu. I know you can do it. And I’m pretty sure that you’ll get a
positive answer.” She smile at her own thought.
“And how
do you know that?”
“I’ve
told you. I’ve been monitoring you two.”
Soo Il
looks at Kyuhyun. She needs to help them. She needs to repay them. They had
helped her and Jungsoo a lot.
“Kyu!!!”
she suddenly shouts.
“What?”
ask Kyuhyun, shocked.
“We’ve
missed the bakery.” She said, pointing at the bakery they’ve just passed on
their left.
Laughing,
Kyuhyun reply,
“We just
have to make a turn, Soo Il. No need to get that anxious.”
