♚ Mask Of Innocence / Chapter 1
Mask Of Innocence/Chapter 1
Seo Joo-Hyun wore her mask of innocence around like how she wore her heart on her sleeve.......
(Chapter 01.)
Prologue
"Move your ass"
KyuHyun didn’t even take his eyes off the crinkled script in his hand when he moved one seat over to make some space for Seohyun. She took her jacket off, caressly dropped her bag somewhere in the empty room as she sat down next to him without any invitation, it’s not like she ever asked for one when it comes to him anyway.
“Had a good time, meeting your soon-to-be-husband?”, he asked her with a devious smirk.
She could tell, he was trying to piss her off. It was Kyuhyun, he knew her too well, not to know that she was cranky. Seohyun gave him a dirty glare before snatching the script from him, he was no fun now days, always working, always practicing. The two of them used to go around pranking every managers and trainees that was in an eye sight but as years after they debut passed by. They had less and less time to do things they used to do, the things they enjoyed, the things they laughed about, the things they want to do. She scanned through the script with an annoyed expression plastered on her face, really snarky maknae again? If she wasn’t in such a bad mood, there was no doubt that she would have crapped her pants from laughing a long time ago.
“Had a good time, going through such a bull shitting script?”, a smirked appeared on her face as she threw the script on the floor.
Hey, if he was going to do it this way then it was only going to be fair, if she had some fun herself. He let out a heavy sigh, handing her a can of her favorite drink and no, it was not goguma juice (even though it was slowly growing on her) or whatever the company told her to say daily. Sometime she was in doubt that the company was actually in contract with goguma’s companies all over the country.
“Are you going to entertain me by telling me the story about your meeting or are we just going to be playing games to amuse ourselves today?”, he asked before taking a sip of his can of coke.
Seohyun rolled her eyes at his words, filled with sarcasm. She handed the can back to him with a look that was he knew too well, she watched silently as he cracked the can of ice coffee opened, with a small smile he handed the can back to her. She could smell the distinct smell of cappuccino already.
“The guy’s an ass, I wouldn’t call him a ‘guy’ actually, he’s more of a bastard”, she said crossing her arms over her chest with a familiar unpleasant look.
“I’m going to take a stab and say he’s not your husband’s material”, Kyuhyun and his words of wisdom load of shits makes her wanted to hit him sometime.
“Shut up, if you don’t want to die Cho Kyuhyun”, she warned him not so nicely before taking another sip of her coffee.
They stared at each other for a long second before breaking into loud laughter. She didn’t really know what was so funny, maybe he didn't either but it always has been like this between the two of them. They fight, they throw insults, they play hurtful games, they make up, the laugh, they smiled, they covered for one another when one of them was in deep shit, they cheered each other up and sometime Seo Joo-Hyun will think to herself that she couldn’t possibly live on without this silly guy sitting right beside her at this very moment.
“Am I going to have to force you to tell me, Seo Joo-hyun?”, he chuckled lightly and she couldn’t help but give in.
“That depends, are you going to help me get rid of the guy or not?”, she asked him back with a playful grin that rarely appeared.
“Besides you have the most patience out of all the girls, if you fail to stay calm then…..I wish I could be there to see it”, she sure hoped Kyuhyun was right.
*****************
“Seohyun-ah, I like your husband already”, Yuri looked like she could die from laughing.
You must be kidding her……..
“Yeah, he’s hilarious”, Tiffany eye smile seemed like the most disturbing thing to her at the moment.
God, please, kill her now.
“He’s going to make a great in law, don’t you think?”, and to think that Taeyeon was her favorite.
No, effing hell….no, this is not happening.
“I don’t know about your guys but I am praying that they will get married for real in the future”, and she wasn’t surprise that Yoona was
her least favorite.
She thinks she needed to go find the toilette and throw up now. Oh god, she already felt nauseated. She and that……..it was
disgusting enough just thinking about it in her head, saying it out loud wasn’t going to happen any sooner either.
“Don’t you think so too, Seohyun?”, Jessica too? Were pigs flying?
“Y…Ye..Yeah”, yeah……..definitely not.
The excruciating pain she has to go through saying that one word with four letters.
No, shit….no. There were many words to described Jung Yonghwa, hilarious and great in-law were not one of those words. The words
that her unnis were supposed to say were, disgusting, rude, jerk, bastard, pig and anything negative was fine with her.
“Jessica-shii, Sooyoung-shii, you guys are really flattering me”, she can’t believe she was agreeing with him.
“Seohyun would make a great wife, I’m more than lucky to get partnered up with such a lovely girl like her”, how sweet fake bastard.
It was just purely pathetic of them. Her unnis were squealing and looking like they were going to melt into a puddle of pink liquid that
would smell like strawberry or choclate. Lots of idols visit surgeons, why wasn’t one of them him? His teeth were screwed up, the shade
of his hair was absolutely blinding (in a bad way, of course) and what the hell was he wearing? And she though Hyoyeon’s unni stylist
had bad taste.
“Yah! Tiffany, swapped seat with our maknae, would you? She’s marrying him, not you”, Tiffany can have him if she wanted.
Seohyun got up awkwardly with the most forced smile plastered on her face as she moved across the room, seating herself in between
him and Tiffany.
“Suck up much”, she whispered to herself through gritted teeth.
Luckily he didn’t seem to have heard it, she needed to try harder in controlling her anger. Look at Kyuhyun he’s fantastic at keeping
calm in any situation.
“Aish…..get up, we better leave these guys alone”, she swore Jessica was planning something for sure and she sure didn't have a good feeling about.
She wasn’t sure what was harder, trying to look liked she was enjoying sitting next to the guy or watching her so called ‘sisters’ (which she was now ashamed of) walked out of the room, giggling like they just saw Teletubbies and Elmo in the same room.
“It…It’s nice to see you again, Yonghwa-shii……”, Seohyun shifted away from him uncomfortably more like creeped out.
Disinfection, disinfection, disinfection, she just wanted to get up and ran out of the room. He sat there, his arms folded across his chest, looking cocky liked the first time they met. Seohyun tried not to glare at him in disgust as she kept smiling until her jaw felt like it was going to break anytime now.
“You’re one good actress, aren’t you Miss Seo?”, he asked almost daringly.
“Eh? I…I don’t..understand”, looking innocent was her career, he should have figured that out ages ago.
He sighed heavily as he got up and sat on the wooden chair next to the comfy sofa that has now caught the Jung Yonghwa’s disgusting pig flu. Don’t worry, it wasn’t only him who wanted to move. If she could, she would have ran for her life by now.
“Look, this ridiculous show is going to make or break me and my group’s career”, did he wanted her to help him break it? Because she would've been more than happy to lend him a hand.
“We’re going to have to play house for a while, you can keep pretending to be ‘little-miss-innocent’ and I’m going have to pretend to be an ideal husband like the viewers wants to see”, an ideal husband? Him? Don’t make her laugh.
“But come on, are you really going to keep acting like a ‘virgin queen’?”, why not? It wasn’t like she had sex or anything.
“Girls like you sickens me, so fake and superficial…...show yourself already, stop pretending”, he said tiredly.
There were two options, she was going to be a saint and let this go by once again acting like a dumb blonde or she could start crying and it will be the end of his career. She stared into his eyes and like she expected, she saw a devil that was ready to be murder so option two, seemed convenient.
There it was, ‘superficial’ tears sliding down her cheeks slowly and god, how she enjoyed seeing his cocky face dropped in panic.
Seohyun started rubbing her eyes and soon she was sniffing loudly, almost naturally.
“I know what you’re doing here, I’m not a dumb fuck”, he whispered angrily.
Saying that won’t really do anything now, would it? Enjoying herself, she started crying more and more, her cries was getting louder
and louder. Soon someone would come, her members and if he was lucky enough, it would be her manager.
“I give you three seconds to shut up or I will personally do it myself, Miss Seo”, that scared her so badly.
“I’m serious”, did he really think she would buy it?
He tried suppressing her cries by covering her mouth with his hand but that just made this particular situation more challenging for Seohyun as she cried out even louder. It was good enough that she controlled herself and didn’t bit him right then and there.
His head snapped around toward the door immediately when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching the two of them. It wasn’t just someone but a group of people, a group of girls. Seohyun could hear the sound of heels clicking and clacking, coming closer and closer already. It was evidential that it was her unnis, too bad she was hoping for some other idols just to spice things up a bit.
“I warned you”, he hissed loudly.
It was quick, she didn’t even realize it until seconds later. His arms were awkwardly wrapped around her waist, his eyes were cold and emotionless as he tried avoiding her shocked expression.
Seo Joo-Hyun could not even make a sound of protest when she learned the unfortunate fact that Jung Yonghwa has indeed stolen a kiss from her.
