Eunho Fanfic | No, that's not it - Pandora

** On the day of the paper presentation, the university auditorium **

A lecture hall crowded with professors and academic society members.
Flea was waiting for his turn to speak behind the stage.

"Ugh... why am I shaking like this..."

The suit and shoes I wore for the first time felt awkward.
I kept adjusting my clothes.

Then suddenly I thought of Noah.

"Brother... you're coming today, right...?"

I feel bad that I haven't been in touch for a while,
Flea believed that Noah would definitely come.

"We'll talk about this again after the presentation."

Soon after, it was Flea's turn,
I went up to the stage with a trembling heart.

Without any hindrance to the research conducted so far
He presented it smoothly.

But I'm not used to presenting in English
His voice was trembling and stuttering.

'Ah... I'm screwed...'

Then, a familiar face appeared under the stage.

EunhoIt was.

"I can do it"

Eunho spoke quietly with his lips.

That scene was during the first year of college festival.
Flea, who was nervous about suddenly becoming the MC
It seemed to overlap with the day I was cheering.

Flea took a deep breath and focused again.

Is it thanks to Eunho’s support?
I wasn't shaking anymore.

The moment the presentation ended -
Applause erupted in the auditorium.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Plissie!"

"Mr. Plee, your presentation was really good."

Flea is praised by people
I came down from the stage.

"Wow... I think I can live now..."

Flea said, sitting on a chair below the stage.

"Kim Pli, you've worked hard."

Eunho hands water to Flee
I sat down next to him.

"Thank you, Eunho."

Flea, feeling relaxed, drank the water in gulps.

"Oh, Do Eun-ho, have you seen Noah oppa?"

"Huh?? Han Noah? No?? I haven't seen you, why...?"

Eunho suddenly brought up Noah's story.

"You said you'd come to see the presentation today... but I guess you didn't come..."
"I guess I expected more... I feel like an idiot..."

Eunho, who knows the truth
I felt like I was cheating Flee.

"...Kim Pli, are you close with Hong Hae-ri?"

"Harry..? Um... We were close,
"I haven't contacted you since I got busy."

"Why all of a sudden?"

"No, I was just curious."

Eunho felt slightly relieved by Flee's answer.
Still, my heart was heavy.

"Do Eun-ho... Do you like Hong Hae-ri?!?"

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about!!"

"I... have someone I like??"

"Oh really?? Who is it??"

Unaware of Eunho's speed, Fli approached with sparkling eyes.

Eunho took something out from behind the chair with a blush on his face.

"I... I don't know about that!!! Okay, flower!"

"I forgot what I was going to give you."

Eunho handed a bouquet of flowers to Flea.

"Wow... It's really pretty..."

Looking at the bouquet of flowers
I thought about the hard times I had gone through.

I felt a pang of emotion because the flowers seemed to comfort me.

"Eunho... thank you..."

Looking at Flee with red eyes
Eunho couldn't bring himself to tell the truth.

'Okay... Let's talk after today passes..."

** Exit at the back of the auditorium **

After all the presentations are over,
Flea came out the back door of the auditorium and bumped into someone.

"Ah...! Oh no, my phone...!"

On the fallen cell phone
A case matching Noah and the couple was seen.

'You said you were coming...'

Flea hated Noah for not coming.
I even hated myself for believing that.

I got up and flapped my skirt.
I saw a familiar blonde from afar.

"Noah... Oppa...?"

Flee is happy to see Noah
I walked slowly towards the fountain.

As he got closer to Noah, he was obscured by the pillars.
The truth was slowly revealed.

Arms linked next to NoahHarryThere was.

"Plea...?!?"

Noah's eyes widened in surprise as he met Flee's.
The look of confusion was evident on his face.

"Ah...!! Flea, that's not it -"

Noah hurriedly tried to pull his arm away from Harry,

"What's wrong, Oppa!!"

The more that happened, the more Harry seemed to be jealous of Flea.
I pulled Noah's hand tighter.

-Tuk

A bouquet of flowers fell from Flea's hand.
The flower petals scattered on the ground after being hit by the instep.

Flee was left speechless,
He left his seat. No, he ran away.

**Outside the auditorium**

Eunho barely made it out through the crowd.

"Where did Kimplee go again..."

In front of Eunho's wandering eyes
I saw Flea running away crying.

Eunho looked back at where Flea had run from.

There stood Noah and Harry holding hands.

"Ha... So, I finally figured it out..."

** 8 p.m., playground in front of Flea's house **

"Hey! Kimplee!!"

Eunho searched for Flee for a long time.
I looked under the slide just in case
I found Flea crouching down.

"Why is this little thing so fast..."

"Why are you doing that, Kimplee..."

Eunho pretends nothing happened
I spoke to Flea.

"Eunho..."

Flee slowly looked up at Eunho.
Puffy eyes, smudged mascara...

Eunho's heart was broken.

"I... saw Noah..."
"I thought you came to keep your promise...
That wasn't... that..."

Flee said, swallowing his tears.

"Do Eun-ho, you knew, right...?"

"Noah and Harry..."

"So that's why you asked Harry earlier?"

"But why didn't you say anything...? Why!!"

Flea cried out in tears.
Eunho couldn't say anything to Flee like that.
All he did was repeat the words "I'm sorry."
