"Wonwoo, I am going to do some errand," Jeonghan said.

"Go on," I responded while my feet are above the center table.

"My friend is coming, so tell her to wait for me. Okay?"

"Oka--" Wait a minute. "Who is she?"

"Ahhh. That girl who added you on Facebook before. Remember? (y/n)."

What?!

I involuntary stood up, eyes widened.

"I'll be quick! Treat her well okay? Bye!" then big bro went out. As soon as he walked out from the door, I changed my shirt, brushed my teeth again, put gel on my hair and borrow some of my brother's cologne.

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I started to doubt.

"You are being weird, Wonwoo," I laughed alone.

~"Ding dong~"

The doorbell! She is here! Okay. Calm down Wonwoo. Calm down!

With my trembling hands, I slowly opened the door.

"Hey why did you just open the d---" She stopped when she saw me. We are looking eye to eye. The f*ck! I said calm down bro!

"My brother went out for a moment," I managed to respond. "He told me that a friend will come over. Go inside and wait in the couch."

"O-Okay," she stuttered and passed by. She smells good.

Anyway, I need to offer something.

"Do you want juice?" I offered as she sat on the couch.  "Coffee? Or ice tea?" But I would prefer if you choose me.

"I'm f-fine with ice tea," she answered while tucking her hair behind her ears. Cute.

"Okay." I dashed in the kitchen, trying to compose myself as I making her ice tea. Slow down Wonwoo. Take your time. Breathe in. Breathe out.

I excitedly came back and put a glass of ice tea above the center table. "Ahhh, my name is (y/n). You are Jeonghan's brother, right?" she started.

What should I reply? Should I reply a short: 'Yes'? Then she might get bored.

I sat down on the couch and looked at her as calm as possible. Then I answered,  "I called him 'brother' a moment ago."

She frowned. Guess she didn't like my answer. Did I make a mistake?

"I s-see. Ha-ha. Sorry for asking the obvious thing. What is your name?" (<~ coming from a girl who added me on my Facebook account)

"You already added me on Facebook. Yet you didn't know my name?" (<~ coming from a man who stalked her account)

Based on her reaction, she maybe remembered me.

"Ahh yeah. I did? Maybe because you popped out on my suggested friend list. Ha-ha," she said with her pale lips. I really want to dig a hole right now and bury myself from embarrassment for not accepting her friend request. 

She took a sip on the ice tea that I preferred and avoided my gaze. I guessed I made her bored. I am not really good at handling girls. D*mn it.
What should I say now?

~"Ding dong!" Who's that coming? Brother didn't tell me any other visitor.

"Jeonghan is there!" she thought.

I stood up, saying, "No. If he is my brother, then he won't bother pressing the door bell." I walked and opened the door. I didn't expect the person who is standing in front.

"Wonwoo!" he yelled. Lee Jihoon

I glanced at her direction and she looks so surprised. This is bad.

I grabbed Jihoon's shoulder to make it sure he won't look at her. "Hey Lee Jihoon. Long time no see,' I blabbered.

"I heard you came back from Paris. So I came to surprise my dearest friend," Jihoon greeted, removed my hands and stepped in. Sh*t!

"You should call before coming here," I responded. Seriously, why did you come at this moment?

"When will be your fli---- " He saw her! "Oh? Who is that sitting on the couch?" Okay. There is no reason hiding it.

"She is my brother's fr-- Eh?" Huh? She is wearing a paper bag on her head.  "Why is she wearing that?" Ah! She wears it to hide her face from Jihoon. I really want to laugh right now. Pfft!

"Does she suffers from a mental ilness?" Jihoon whispered.

"She looks normal a moment ago," I whispered back while holding my laugh. "Anyway, she is my brother's guest. We should move in my room." We must or else she'll die from suffocation.

"Ah okay. I'll tell you about my girlfriend," Jihoon said that halted me.

I clenched my fists as I asked, "You have a new girlfriend? B-But, I thought you just broke up with your ex? Did you move on already?"

"Yes I did. After breaking up with her, I find another girl and she helped me to move on. She is a lot prettier and understanding than my old one. My ex-girlfriend is really hard to understand ya' know. I got tired."

Hearing these words, I wonder how she feels right now. It must be painful.

"R-Really?" I responded and cough. "Ahem. Ahmm, you should go to my room first. I'll bring us some snack."

"Okie dokie!" Jihoon agreed and went up to my room.

I looked at (y/n). Her shoulders are moving up and down. I knew it, she is crying. She removed the paperbag, maybe thinking that I already left.

"Lee Jihoon, I really hate you," she mumbled while wiping her tears. Of course, that's a given fact.

I want to moves closer, to hug her and to wipe her tears or to tapped her head. But indeed, I am such a coward. When she stood up and looked in into my eyes, I did nothing but to observe her pain.

"I..." she murmured, hiding the pain behind her lips. "I suddenly feel sick. I'll go home. Tell your brother that I will come back tomorrow." she bowed her head, then dashed out.

I was left alone in the living room.

All those years, I was a bystander watching her from afar. And although we finally have a connection between our lives, I am still the old coward who never had a courage to ask her name before.

Do I need to be like this until the end?

No.

I can turn the wheel upside down.

I ran and follow her way, searching every corner and finding her trace. Then at the last drop of my strength, I saw her sitting on the ground and hugging her knees on despair.

With the last inch of my breath, I stood in front or her. "Tell him, I am your new boyfriend."

My heat beats so fast as she slowly lifting her head upon me. I wonder how surprise she is, and I am afraid for any rejection for this foolish offer that I made.

"E-Ehhh?" She stuttered.

The next things that I will say remain a mystery. If I have any ulterior motives behind these, I don't know. But if I do have... then who cares?

"Lee Jihoon is maybe my friend. But I can't accept his sh*t. Pretend that I am your new lover, and get your revenge."
