Fall in Love with Sunghoon
Battle of the Heart
06:00 PM
Sunghoon
"What are you doing here?"
Tae laughed sarcastically.
Kim Tae
"I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here?"
Sunghoon
"I want to meet Shine."
Sunghoon glared at Tae, as if he wanted to destroy the man in front of him.
Kim Tae
"Shine asked me to come here."
Tae smiled lopsidedly. Didn't he win again this time?
Shine rubbed his forehead. He felt dizzy. He was confused as to why he was stuck with these two men again.
Sunghoon
"Shine, come home with me."
Shine glared at Sunghoon. What other surprise was this? He was already surprised enough by Sunghoon's visit to his house this morning.
Kim Tae
"Shine with me."
Tae held Shine's hand and moved it behind Tae's strong body.
Shine just obeyed.
Sunghoon smiled lopsidedly. Okay, he lost badly.
Sunghoon
"You take Shine home today, I'll take him to school tomorrow."
Of course Sunghoon doesn't want to lose.
Tae tightened his grip on Shine's hand. He thought.
Choi Shine
"I'm going home alone."
Shine took his bag and then walked home.
But her small steps completely stopped her there. Sunghoon held her hand.
Sunghoon
"Come home with me now, or leave with me tomorrow."
Shine fell silent. He stared at his hand held by Sunghoon.
This is completely wrong.
Kim Tae
"You just go home with him. I have some business at home."
Shine frowned. Did Tae hand Shine over to Sunghoon?
How could that be? Didn't he insist on taking Shine home earlier?
Sunghoon smiled triumphantly. He took Shine's hand and led her to the parking lot.
Seriously, this is driving Shine crazy. I mean, what dream did he have last night?
What did she do in her previous life to be able to be held by Sunghoon?
Tae was still following them from behind. There was no way he was going to just let Shine go to Sunghoon.
Even though Tae and Sunghoon had become close friends, Tae still didn't trust Sunghoon.
Sunghoon is too stubborn. Tae is afraid something will happen to Shine.
He let Shine go home with Sunghoon, because Tae didn't want Shine to be dropped off by Sunghoon tomorrow.
It could be dangerous if Shine was seen with Sunghoon at school.
Luckily it was already evening. The school was very quiet.
Tae's phone rang softly. He checked it, and it was Riri.
Kim Riri
_"Lost power?"_
Tae is confused. Where to?
Kim Tae
"I'm at school. Why?" Tae answered but his eyes were still fixed on Sunghoon and Shine in front of him.
Kim Riri
_"You forgot? I told you to pick me up at the clothing store near the school."_
Tae fell silent, trying to remember Riri's request earlier.
Kim Tae
"Is that true?"
Kim Riri
_"Where are you now?"_
Kim Tae
"I'm at school."
Kim Riri
_"So I'll go there. Wait for me. Watch out until you stay."_
Kim Tae
"Don't. I'll go there. You stay there. Wait for me."
Tae stopped Riri from going to school. Of course, he didn't want her to see Sunghoon walking with his best friend's hand.
Tae walked quickly ahead of Sunghoon and Shine.
Sunghoon clicked his tongue as he saw Tae running.
Sunghoon
"Have you been close to him for a long time?"
Shine looked at her tiny hand. Then, she nodded slowly.
This hurts a little. Sunghoon's grip on Shine's hand is too tight.
Sunghoon, who started to realize that something was wrong with Shine, immediately followed the direction of his gaze.
Sunghoon
"Why?"
Shine menggeleng.
Sunghoon relaxed his grip, which relieved Shine.
Sunghoon
"Sorry."
Sunghoon's apology surprised Shine.
Shine just called Sunghoon a rude man. But now Sunghoon apologizes?
Sunghoon
"I'm holding on too tightly."
Shine, who was still shocked, could only shake his head. He gently rubbed his hand which was slightly red.
Shine dries her long hair with her hairdryer.
After what happened today, he was starting to get a little used to all this suddenness.
He had to be more careful because Sunghoon's presence was often unexpected.
Maybe later when Shine is with Riri, Sunghoon will come.
What a big problem.
He checked his phone. Tae had sent him a message.
Kim Tae
— Sorry, Riri asked to pick me up.
Kim Tae
— You got home, right?
Kim Tae
— I'm going there, okay?
Kim Tae
— I'll bring you food.
Choi Shine
— No need. I've already eaten.
He turned off his phone. Then he headed to the kitchen.
Actually, he hadn't eaten yet. He just didn't want to bother Tae anymore.
He can't depend on Tae forever.
Shine opened the refrigerator to check for any remaining groceries.
There were still eggs and bread. He thought about making a simple sandwich.
After finishing, she opened her phone again. There was a message from Tae.
Kim Tae
— Okay. I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Choi Shine
— Too much
He checked the chat from Riri.
Kim Riri
— What time did you get home? I was looking for you, you already got home :(
Choi Shine
— I came home a little late yesterday. Go to the rooftop first.
Kim Riri
— What are you doing? Unusual? Do you usually go to the library?
Choi Shine
— Looking for a new atmosphere
