Chapter 23

Enjoy Together~

Facade~ True beauty fanfic

The atmosphere in the car was really nostalgic. I felt like I was back in my childhood with Taemoo and Sung-hoon oppa. The usual bickering with each other as if they both weren't adults.

Well this emotional thing aside.

I still couldn't digest the fact that my brother had a girlfriend! I mean- who likes this cow?

Of course I am happy he got a woman, but still, how is it possible?

"Okay so let me get this straight. Grandpa forced you to go on a date to find you a wife and the girl who was actually supposed to be present, sent her friend instead......and then, you fell in love with the woman you went on date with instead of the one who was millionaire."

I kept pointing out my conclusion as both of them listened intently, nodding after my very pause with hopeful glint in their eyes.

"And that millionaire girl is now Sung-hoon oppa's girlfriend."

Another nod.

I leaned back in my seat as silence spread in the car. Then I hummed lowly and said a final sentence.

"So Sung-Hoon oppa has Sugar Mommy and TaeTae is now a Sugar Daddy-"

Sung Hoon pulled the brakes as the car came to a halt.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

Then-

*Thwack-*

"Oww- what-"

"Where did you learn those absurd things?" My brother hit my head slightly as I rubbed to ease the small pain with a twasing grin etched on my face.

"She was worried about her excellent result but not her wordings. I am gonna meet your teacher tomorrow, what they have been teaching?" Sung-Hoon oppa commented as he turned towards the wheel.

"Blame Sua, she told me that kind of things"

Yes. I threw her under the bus.

"You need to change your circle I think."

"Why? Just because I spoke a fact?"

"Aish...this girl.."

My brother laughed half heartedly while shaking his head along with Sung-Hoon oppa.

However, my glee was short lived once I looked out the window. The car was halted somewhere in an alleyway near Jukyung's house. Jukyung's house was clearly visible from this position and moreover, two figures were clearly visible.

Soo-ho and Jukyung

They both were standing close as Soo-ho was basically pinning Jukyung against her house gate pillars. They both stood close as Soo-ho moved forward slightly.

Sung-Hoon started the car as the heartclenching view for me became more clear. Soo-ho was putting on a clip on Jukyung's hair.

I gripped my skirt's dress as the car drove past them. With my head down, I tried to erase that scene from my mind.

"Hey sunshine...you alright?" Sung-Hoon oppa asked while looking back from the review mirror, making my head whip up.

"Tireddddd...." I whined causing him to chuckle and turned towards the wheel.

"Well tomorrow's your day off from school right?" Taemoo asked and I nodded in approval, still looking down.

"We have day offs too, gonna stay for a while. So we will enjoy together"

Enjoy Together.

My ass.

Next morning they both were fast asleep with Taemoo's leg half off bed as he slept slightly titled horizontally while Sung-Hoon oppa's hand was on Taemoo's face and his leg on his stomach.

What a sight indeed.

I first clicked a photo for blackmail, and then proceeded to wake them up because they promised they would come with me to shopping.

"Bastards- get up!" I kicked Taemoo's butt causing him to groan in pain as he let out rings of curses.

"Aish...Take my card and go. I will wake up when Shin-hari will call me."

"Yeah me too."

"What- why would you wake up when my-"

"No I meant my women."

They both giggle.

Giggled like a freaking child.

Is that how men in love look like? If yes, then I am jealous.

I put hands on my hips and raised a sceptical brow.

"Don't complain when you get a message that your bank account is empty."

And they ignored me again. Taking this an opportunity to buy every thing I wanted along with a gift for Go-woon. I took his black card which he often flexes and moved towards my room to get ready.

My phone goes off with a notification. Curious, I picked up the phone just to feel my heart drop.

Brooding Boy:

Can we meet at Prince Comics?

Feeling uncomfortable with the situation I turned off my phone. I mean it's my fault that I started to expect something from him, like c'mon, I never expected anything from boys so....why...why do I expect something from him.

Stop Y/N.

Taking a deep breath, reminding myself he feels connection with Jukyung and I feel jealous because I saw him as my friend but he pushed me away.

No big deal right?

Shit happens.

Always does.

Shutting my phone off I decided to walk myself to the nearest mall for my endless shopping on my day off.

I was low key wishing that I don't find someone I knew, because after what my brother's pulled yesterday, I don't want to face their thousand annoying questions and try to talk to my brother.

At the thought of my brother I began to make a plan to get to know this women who basically likes Archeoptarxy.

"Why do you look like you are forming a diabolical plan?"

A voice called spoke from my side causing me to jump away in surprise. I turned to look at my side to realise it was Seojun.

"OH- my...Where did you come from!? I could've hit you!" This caused Seojun to smirk slightly.

"I have good reflexes, I would've caught y-"

*smack*

"Right." I said after slapping his head slightly and began to walk away as he followed.

"Yah- How-"

"Do you know what perfumes are best one?" I asked cutting him off.

"Why? You got rejected by Hyeong jin that you want to make it upto him by perfume-?"

"Don't you have quite large imagination? And no. I would be glad if he stops spamming me so much about his game."

Seojun snickers feeling triumphed internally but another question pops int his head about the guy he came to know about yesterday. Who came and took Y/N.

"So who are these perfumes are for?" I just gave him a look and grabbed his wrist and began to explore the area of the mall.

Seojun looks at her hand that now grabbed his wrist and idea pops up in his head.

He removed his wrist from her grip and holds her hand.

"I am irresistible, I know."

I looked at him disbelief as I smacked his head again making him lose the grip.

"I am taking you with me because I am buying a gift for your sister's birthday!"

"Birthda- Of course. I knew it was Go-woon's birthday! That's why I came-"

"You are a cheap brother aren't you?"

"No! I mean-"

"Let's go."

And with that, they both were exploring the mall, not just looking for perfume but many other things with high possibility of Go-woon's liking.

Makeup.

And with that thought they were both in makeup store looking through the varieties of makeup supplies filled in the section.

"Man...I miss Imzoo. She knew about makeup and my dumbass don't even know what products are even under makeup."

"We could just buy the whole set. It must have everything in it."

Seojun suggests as he looked around and my eyes lit up with a happy glint.

"Wow. You really do have brain.....sometimes."

Seojun gives me a look making me snicker.

"I am buying this because she has an audition coming up, so she needs stage makeup." He says.

"I heard she joined a Music academy."

Seojun nods in affirmation while putting his hands in his pockets.

"How come you both are really good singers?" I said while eyeing him.

Seojun hands twitches at the mention of him singing.

"How did you come to a conclusion that I sing?" He says with his eyes focused straight.

"I heard you were idol trainee and sang really good."

Seojun was never fond of taking about his singing career. Not after what happened to his best friend. Not after everything happened just because of that singing.

"Since when Kang Y/N began to trust on rumours." He mocks playfully but his aura was visibly dimmed.

"I don't know, you just...."

"Yes. I used to sing but not anymore cause I had no interest in becoming a celebrity."

When his tone was dull, I realised this topic was not to be pushed further.My nosy ass will get me in trouble someday.

I looked at him, noticing his clenched jaw and furrowed brows, I decided to distract him.

"Hey look! These are the samples!" I dragged him to the section where lip gloss and matte samples were put. It's as mentioned that they were newly launched.

"But...I don't know what colour would suit her. Maybe this, or this...even this one-Damn it!-"

I cursed while checked out different colours but couldn't choose one.

"How about this one?" Seojun asked holding out a cherry red colour lip gloss.

"Well they are samples, try it."

Seojun just stared at me as if told him to jump off the building.

"C'mon try it."

"No-"

"They are free-"

"I don't know how many people used it!!"

"For goodness sake-"

"Why don't you try it!"

"Well I don't a shit about those gloss."

"Well I do."

And with that Seojun opened the gloss's lid and dipped the brush and began to slowly apply it on my lips.

Seojun attentively looked at her lips as he applied the gloss but soon his brain stopped working as his heartbeat began to roar in his ears.

What-?

"Yahh!- Wh- wait. This looks good." I was about to scream at him but turns out my lips began to look really fleshy and cute.

"It's good right?" I asked Seojun who looked like he was in a trance.

"Yo Caty Boy-"

"Huh? Yeah. It looks- yes. Let's b-buy this."

Seojun hastily closed the gloss.

"Maybe, there are more that way. Let's go-"

He didn't wait for a response walking away near the other aisle as I stood dumbfounded at his sudden reaction.

Talk about mood swings.

When it was time to pay, Seojun dropped the heavy items I just chose.

"Are you buying these for lifetime or something?" He asks wiping a sweat off his forehead.

"Nah, I just want my brother to wake up with a heart attack."

Seojun looks at her with pure disbelief etched on his face.

"You are a menace to brothers."

"I know sweetheart."

Seojun's heart flutters slightly but he mistook it for guilt. Guilt for putting this girl in danger. She was victim of kidnapping by those silly boys just because of him, and he didn't even apologised for it.

The line for paying was little long so we waited for them to clear. All while Seojun thought of ways to apologize to her.

He looked at her face show as scanning the mall, as light reflected in her eyes and soon, his eyes fell onto her lips that still had that gloss on.

Seojun blinked away thoughts and decided to speak.

"Y/N."

I turned towards him raising a brow of question due to seriousness in his voice.

"I am sorry."

The basket I  held earlier fell down with a loud thud causing people's head to turn towards us but I didn't care because this was the second time I heard this narcissist apologize. And I still can't digest it.

"Okay don't overrea-"

"Oh My God-! Did Seojun, Han Seojun just apologised?! And genuinely too!? "

Seojun looked around with apologetic smile as he shuts my mouth from speaking any further.

"I am serious."

I removed his hand from my mouth.

"And that's what makes it more weird!"

"Y/N...I am really sorry. You had face those guys because of me and....I....I tried to find them again but-"

"They were gone. I know. My brother took them." I said nodding, a laughter bubbling inside me as I took in Seojun's expression. He looked like a lost cat who looked smug and sorry at the same time.

"So that guy is your brother?" He asks and I nodded as we reached the counter for payment. I took out the black card.

"And here he wakes up."

The card swipes.

Bill comes out.

My phone rings.

Incoming Call...

Moo Moo

"But not picking up right now." I put my phone back as the calls went on repeatedly.

"If you are feeling so bad then treat me with cold coffee." I suggest and he immediately nods and asks me to move first.

"What a gentleman."

As he was buying drinks for us, the call went on. Getting fed up for once, I picked up the call.

"Hel-"

"Why are you ignoring me?"

I blinked several times and my eyes widen once I realised whose voice this was. I removed the phoen form my ear and looked at the called ID.

Ongoing Call

00:12

Brooding Boy

Before I could speak, Han Seojun called out to me.

"Do you want ice!?" I shook my head as I could hear sharp intake of breath through the phone.

"You are with Han Seojun?"

"And?"

This word was on the tip of my tongue but I suppressed my will to speak and instead told him-

"I am at departmental store right now, will talk to you later." And I hung up and on cue Seojun handed me the iced coffee.

"Thanks."

We both moved towards the lift.

"So am I forgiven?" Seojun spoke just as I took the first sip. I hummed a little and looked at him with sceptical gaze.

"I don know......"

"Hey you said-"

"Chill Cat boy, I don't hold grudges. Besides, you apologized so it's alright."

"When will you stop calling me cat?" Seojun eyes me with his feline cat-like eyes and sassy attitude dripping off him.

The audacity.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately, your whole demeanour screams 'I am a sassy cat' " Seojun scoffed a little and struggled to hold the plastic bags.

"Here. Let me help." I took the lightest bag among the one's he is holding and then began to sip from my cup like I didn't just offended him.

"Oh my god it feels so light now."

I turned to look at Han Seojun who just joked with the most serious face that held the sentence- "Are you f-kin kidding me?"

Laughter bubbled inside me and I couldn't control it. I laughed at his face as he still gave me the straight look. However, there was a storm happening inside him because that laughter sounded like the most heartwarming thing ever.

The way her eye crinkled at the edge with her nose scrunched up, yeah, it was doing something to him.

Clearing his throat, Seojun's lips curved up in a smirk as a plan came into his mind. He swiftly put the bags down and snatched the coffee cup from her hand and held it up high.

"Bitc-"

I was caught off guard when he took my drink. I immediately followed it but this tall dobberman held it above his head making it impossible for me to reach there. I jumped few times to get it or pull his arm down but he didn't budge. The look of desperation on my face was looking really appealing to this bitch.

But guess what?

Nobody messes with my food or drinks.

Nobody.

"Give it back or face the consequence." I gave him a final warning as his smirk widened as mischievous glint shone in his eyes.

"And what is miss Kang Y/N about to do? Jump?"

"Oh you asked for it."

I punched him in the stomach causing him to double over in pain.

"Uff-"

I snatched the drink from his hand as he was still hunched over while holding his stomach.

What's the use of hard muscles under that hoodie if it can't handle my punch?

"Warned ya~" I teased while sipping on my coffee in triumph. Seojun looked up, still in his hunched position, making our faces on the same level and inches away.

We both were staring at each other in silence in that position.

One with glint of triumph reflecting in eyes.

One with strange glint in his eyes.

And the door of the elevator opens.
