Chapter 7: Apolgies

The MatchMaker (YEONGYU FF)Words: 8636

I groaned, getting out of bed; it was currently 6 AM. The sun was beginning to greet the clouds about now.

I always dreaded waking up for school, and I wish school started later, like 9 AM. I walked to the bathroom to go shower and get dressed.

"He's apologizing?" Yena asks.

"He's supposed to today."

"That's unlike him; I guess you made a good imprint!" She laughs.

"I guess so; oh, I need to remind him!" I took my phone out, sliding it open.

"He's afraid of you." Yena laughs, reading the messages from beside me.

"As he should be!" I closed my phone and finished eating my cereal.

"Hey, There he is." She pointed to Yeonjun walking inside the school gates.

"Yeonjun!" I yelled, waving as I approached behind him. His eyes looked scared upon seeing me acting so friendly.

"My friend!" I sling my arm around his shoulder.

"Don't forget today," I muttered in his ear as others watched us.

"I didn't." He muttered back, smiling at everyone nervously.

"See you!" I let go of him running inside the doors. He looks puzzled as to what just happened.

"Soona! Everyone was staring!" Yena came laughing toward me inside the classroom.

We were always some of the first to arrive.

"I know, did you like my plan?" I winked.

"Of course, I laughed so hard seeing how scared he was!"

She slaps her knee in laughter.

"How scared. Who was?" Yeonjun entered the room; it became cold inside. I shuddered.

"No one~" I sang; he glared before taking his seat.

Beomgyu enters the room; he smiled at me until he saw Yeonjun in the corner.

"Ah, Beomgyu, Yeonjun has something to say," I speak up, Yeonjun freezes.

"O-Oh, what is it?" Beomgyu nervously laughs at him.

"I'm sorry for yesterday; I didn't mean to be so harsh." He managed to get out, and he pinched his nose in frustration. He wasn't the type to apologize ever. He seemed to like it hurt his pride to admit his faults.

"Thank you. I understand." Beomgyu smiles.

He was such an angel- How can Yeonjun be so cruel?! Seriously this jerk...

"Now that that's settled, I hope you come to an understanding soon," Yena adds.

"There's one more thing I want to say," Beomgyu added, looking toward Yeonjun.

"What is it?"

I asked.

"Yeonjun's friend. I didn't mean to reject her so late."

I saw how tense Yeonjun was becoming; I hope he would listen first.

"Then?" Yeonjun asks.

"She wasn't upset because I rejected her late. She was upset because I liked someone close to her.." Beomgyu tells, Yeonjun's eyebrows raised.

"Oh, so that's why she moved?" I asked, looking between them.

"I didn't mean to upset her. She became happy when she realized who I liked, but she said she didn't want to interfere. She said she couldn't hold her feelings back. She didn't want to trouble the person I liked or me." Beomgyu explains.

"So, She moved because she couldn't bear her feelings." Yeonjun whispers.

"It wasn't the main reason she moved but helped her; She wanted to forget me. She said she wanted to start a new life with new friends. It wasn't anyone's choice; her parents already filed her transfer papers a month before I rejected her.."

"So she was already planning to leave." Yeonjun realized. It wasn't entirely Beomgyu's fault.

She was already destined to leave him; she wanted not to bother him with such an intense burden.

"I'm sorry for how I treated you. I only just now realized it wasn't your fault."

Yeonjun sighs.

"I would have treated myself the same way, and you didn't know the true story. I only hoped that you would accept it now." Beomgyu smiles.

"Thank you." Yeonjun smiles back.

Yena held a thumbs up toward me, smiling in contentment.

"I'm good, right?" I mouthed toward her.

Things were finally turning around, for now.

"Spring break is coming up, and we should plan a trip!" Yena suggested.

"That'd be nice, and this mission stressed me out." I leaned back in my chair.

"Hey, Should we invite both of them?"

"You're right, and we could use this opportunity!" I sit up, taking my phone out.

"Wait, where should we go?"

"Beach? But it's still a little cold lately. What about the mountain resort?" Her eyes light up in excitement.

"The resort, Doesn't Miss have a cabin there?" I took my phone to call Miss.

"Hello?" Her soft voice spoke.

"Hello Miss, we are here in spring break now. We were wondering if we can use your cabin for the mission."

Miss: "Of course you've welcomed anytime; I'll inform the main office. I need all the names of those who attend."

"I'll send you a text of the names later. Thank you so much." I hang up.

YN: "We should text the guys now."

"Okay, I'll make a group chat!" I swiped my phone, opening adding everyone inside the chat.

"Ah, he shocked me." I closed my phone; Yena was sitting with a big smile on her lips.

"Did you see how Yeonjun reacted? He seemed annoyed." Yena points out.

"Probably because it would be unfair If he got the least sleep."

"Don't forget to text Miss the names!" Yena reminds me.

I opened my phone back up and sent the four names of us.

"Let's go pack our bags!" Yena says excitedly.

"We should pack a set of warm clothes and a set of cool clothes." She suggests.

"Let's check the weather for this week, and It seems mostly cold." I looked at the weather app on my phone

I grabbed my duffle bag, unzipping it. It was just a medium-size blue bag, and I didn't like luggage's that's much.

"Can I borrow you Adidas pants?" Yena asks with them in hand.

"Go ahead."

"I'll go to my apartment to prepare; shoot me a text when you're done!" She strolls out the door.

The Next Morning, 5:40 AM

I woke up a little earlier than needed, but I slept enough for today. I walked toward my kitchen rubbing my eyes.

"Water water water," I mumbled with a sore throat. When I would wake up, I always had a problem with my allergies.

I filled the cup with ice and let the cool liquid calm my throat.

My phone started making noises; I walked back to my room, bending over picking it up from my nightstand.

I walked over toward my wardrobe, fiddling through the clothes, finally just throwing on casual wear.

I pulled my shoes on, tying them and grabbing my phone.

I decided to take my bag with me in case the guys would meet us.

The time was 6 AM; they should be waking up soon. I hope they don't forget.

"Let's go." Yena grabs my arm.

"What would you like to order?" The waitress asks at the counter.

"I would like a Medium Americano with a cheese bagel." Yena points.

"And you Ma'm?"

"I would like... a medium Iced Coffee with two blueberry muffins." I was feeling extra hungry this morning.

"Your total is $10.88" Yena hands her the card to swipe.

"Hey, Check the group chat they just texted." Yena slides her phone open.

"Soona, you're so mean!" Yena smacks my arm.

The doorbell jungles opened to reveal Beomgyu walking inside, his eyes land on us, and he walked over.

"We have the same color!" He points at our bags; they're both blue.

"Wow, copying me now?" I joked.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Yena asks.

"I ate before I came, but thank you." He declines.

"How far is the bus ride?" Beomgyu asks.

YN:" About 3 hours!"

"That's not that bad, and I think we sleep halfway," Beomgyu says, eyeing the muffin I had left.

"Do you want it?" I pushed it toward him.

"You don't want it?"

"I'm full already." I pat my stomach; he smiles and takes the muffin in front of the table.

"You're so kind today now; the world's ending," Yeonjun says beside us. No one noticed him walk in.

"Oh, you're here!" Yena says, startled.

"Where's my seat?" He says, noticing there were only three chairs.

"Ah, sorry, we didn't notice." I awkwardly laugh.

"Sure, I'll steal this chair." He grabbed a chair from another table and placed it down.

"It's 6:20 AM. Shouldn't we catch the bus soon?" Beomgyu asks.

"The bus is a 5-minute walk, and it doesn't run until 6:45 AM so that we can leave here at 6:30 AM." I looked at my watch.

"What brand of watch is that?" Beomgyu asks, peering at it.

"I forgot, my grandmother gave it to me." I lied.

"I think I have seen it long ago." He squints.

Does he know about the celup? He couldn't.

"Maybe it's an old brand," I say to ease his curiosity about him.

"I can't wait to see the mountains."

Yena interrupts us.

"me too; I haven't been in years." Yeonjun agreed.

"How many rooms does the cabin have?" Beomgyu asks.

SN: "It has four rooms."

BG: "That's just enough."

YJ:" I want the upstairs room."

YN:" I'll take the bottom room; I'm okay with whatever."

SN:" Beomgyu, do you want the upstairs?"

BG: "I get scared upstairs.."

SN:" I'll take the upstairs room then."

I didn't realize he was scared, and I wish he chose the upstairs room thought because of Yeonjun.

"It's 6:30 AM; we should head that way," Yeonjun informed us.
