My Heart .

Oh, did yes, but you have to go on a date with Ji-Hoon ”. With the mood dramatically shifting Min-Jun stares at her in amusement. For some unknown reason, other than the obvious infatuation Hei-Ran has for Min-Jun, she has always rejected Ji-Hoons advances ”Ugh fine deal, now call your dad while I fight the urge the stab you with a pencil ”. Chuckling Min-Jun calls his father slightly nervous at the prospect of having his dad set him up, the man had always been on the conservative side when it came to love and marriage so he hoped this wouldn and up being a disaster.

”Whatever you
e calling about the answer is no ”, ”Why hello to you too dad, Im doing great what about you? ”. Hei-Ran smiled hearing them talk, why did she agree to the date with Ji-Hoon she really didn want to lead him on especially since she is barely able to stop herself from loving Min-Jun romantically. This was such a mess; this would be so much easier if she just started being realistic and started moving on. She couldn even bring herself to do the exact thing she was forcing him to do and honestly the thought of him dating someone perfect for him made her want to curl in a ball and cry. She was being pathetic, she knew it and she couldn even place any of the blame on him, hed never led her on in any way he was just a great person.

She had fallen in love with the image she had created of him in her mind, over the years she had started the unhealthy habit of taking everything nice he had done for her as a sign that he felt the same towards her. When he gently rejected her two years earlier, after she had finally found the courage to confess, she was shattered and couldn be around him for a while after. It was humiliating to say the least and her pride would not allow her to be a mess in front of him. Eventually she had come to the conclusion that if she was going to get over him properly, she needed to face him and start to set some boundaries for herself. However, she is just human and her plan to move on was put on an indefinite hiatus after an excruciating two and a half weeks of pretending that she could move on. He didn even do anything remotely romantic to make her give up her plan, all he did was tell her he couldn lose her as a friend, that was it, that was all it took.

”Okay Ive done my part of the deal; the date is on Friday. He wouldn let me know any information about her though, just told me to go somewhere private because she doesn like being in crowded places and that I should be open minded when I meet her ”, Min-Jun shrugged his shoulders. He really hoped that his dad will at least set him up with someone decent, if he was going to give dating a try his first date in 4 years should at least be pleasant. ”Time to do your part of the deal ”, ”Yeah, yeah Im doing it ”. Even though she groaned and complained throughout the entire experience she had setup the date with Ji-Hoon while Min-Jun sat back, amused at her displeased expression. ”Whats so wrong with Ji-Hoon? he is a great guy, has a good job and comes from a good family what could possibly be stopping you from accepting one date with him? ”, she stayed quiet for a moment.

”You ”, it was the simple truth. Min-Jun looked down not knowing what to say, he felt like an asshole but he just didn feel the same way and was not going to force himself. Yes, he loved her but it was in the most platonic way possible, when she initially confessed, he was confused, what about their friendship throughout the years had led her to fall in love with him. He had spent his teenage years being in love with a woman his mother affectionately referred to as the spawn of the devil and spent his early twenties looking after a baby while trying to collect the pieces of his broken heart. There wasn exactly any room in between or time for that matter to romance anyone, least of all his best friend.

”Im sorry ”, ”Don be Jun, I just don want to lead him on ”. He felt terrible and she sighed deeply, she didn mean to make him feel guilty about her unwanted feelings for him. ”I get that but please just give the date a fair chance Hei-Hei ”, ”Only if you give your date a fair chance too, I can see the reluctance Jun ”. He smiled and looked down at this, she could always read him like a book. ”Am I that obvious? ”, ”Yes, you look like you
e about to flee the country ”. She giggled softly ”I just might ” he chuckled along with her hoping the date will go well for both of them so that they can finally move on.
