11 | start over

"Attention all players, the 3rd game will begin momentarily."

Jun-Hee who woke up before Seun-jin was awake looked back at his sleeping face, all messy and his mouth was open too. She wished she could take a picture, then she woke him up.

"Just 5 more minutes." He turned around, in deep sleep. Jun-hee facepalmed and hit him slightly and he shot awake from the bed cursing. "Ow! Shit what was that for, I'm going to—" He didn't say anything else when he saw that it was Jun-hee smiling before him.

"Forget about what I was going to say, anyways, what happened now? Someone get executed?" His voice was calmer now, "The next game is about to start." She didn't feel much better about it, remembering what happened the previous night, "Really? Are you sure you'll be fine in your condition? You're 9 months along, you should be careful."

"Well, it's not like they would let me stay back anyway, I have no choice. But I'll be fine, not if I have my nice...friend with me. Because you'll always be there for me like you said didn't you?" Seun-jin smiled, Jun-hee sat across from him and held his hand. He didn't know if she was growing more comfortable to pda but maybe she's more confident now, or whatever just happened last night in the bathroom stalls when she came back teary eyed. "Can I tell you something? I just wanted to get it off."

"What is it?"

"I still like you, and I mean it this time and I really know my feelings, I know it's been long, and I'm sorry it took me this long to tell you again and reach out here when I should've done it years ago instead of staying silent, I'm sorry." It was nice to know it wasn't his fault, but he thought it was. He only got with someone else in hopes of replacing her because he wasn't over her yet, so in the end he used Aera, but she was using him too. But it's always been Jun-hee.

"Are you just gonna sit there and look dumb after I just said all of this?"

"Ah, wait no don't get me wrong it was just really unexpected, but I know you did, it's not like you tried to hide it anyway. Also the real reason me and Aera broke up was because I still loved you no matter how long it had been, but I should've been the one to reach out."

"Shut up, don't go blaming yourself now." She barely smiled, "But, if you still don't like me that's fine, I left without a reason and I'm sorry about that, you don't have to forgive me at all." She looked down in embarrassment but he lifted her head back up, " Kim Jun-hee."

Jun-Hee then looked at him in the eyes once again before talking, he was tired but he still tried to look his best for her. "I would ask for something, but i don't know how to word it without being awkward, so if you could present me with an example..." Seun-jin had understood what she meant by that as a smirk formed on his lips, he got up and knelt to her level, looking directly at her. "What are you doing?"

"Exactly what you wanted no?" He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers gently and pulled away shortly after, "Was it not what you wanted?" He tilted his head, "I mean, I wouldn't deny it, that's why I asked for an example, you're dense sometimes." She smiled.

"Do you need to use the restroom before the game starts? I'll go with you, if you want me to." He offered and nodded, "But the guards are a bit—I don't know if they'll.."

"I meant as in help you get there."

They both made it to the girls restroom and he knocked on the door greeted by a guard, "I know this looks weird but hey, can she use the restroom? She's not feeling great." He moved out the way, the guard closed the peephole and opened the door to the bathroom. "Told you."

"Will you wait here?" She turned back, "As long as you want me to." She smiled turning away from him and walking forward, until the door was closed Myung-gi approached Seun-jin with a frustrated looked, and he knew why. "Is there something wrong that I can help you with?"

"What was that about?" He was angered, but Seun-jin only decided to fuel it by acting dumb, to seem like Myung-gi was the stupid one. "What was what about? That I just took her to the bathroom?" He said with a playful tone.

"No, I saw you guys kiss." Seun-jin then smiled thinking about it. "Oh right, yeah she wanted me to. I wouldn't have if she didn't ask. Plus I was comforting her too, pregnancy isn't easy you know. And also, that wouldn't be the first time we did, so I don't know why you're offended about your ex kissing a completely different guy."

"But I told you to stay away from her didn't I?" Seun-jin shrugged.

"But I couldn't seem to give a fuck, what are you my guardian? chaperone? She said she wants me next to her, don't put the blame on me because you couldn't be there for her, you scammed me and took my money yet you have none? That's a damn shame, fucking brokie. Must've slipped."

Myung-gi ruffled his hair before trying to land a punch on him but missed because Seun-jin just dodged it, he raised a brow. "Why are you getting so violent dude? I only said the truth, you're mad because the money you took from me went all to waste? I know, I was mad too. And you fell victim to your own thing scamming yourself too."

Before he could try again Jun-hee came out looking at the scene in front of her watching Myung-gi's fist right in Seun-jins face. "What were you going to do to him?"

"Jun-Hee it's not—" she cut him off, "It's not what I think it is? Then what is it? You were giving him a hug? Didn't look like it, why do you keep harassing him for being with me? Because he's my ex? Well so are you, it's nothing new."

"No because I just want us all to start over, with the baby. Not him, he's not even the father. Because of him I can't even apologize properly, you're always with him and he's always with you and you never let me talk to you."

"I did let you, but every time you did, bullshit came out of your mouth."

"Listen Myung-gi and I won't say this again. I want him around me. And I told you many times I don't want to start over with and yet you don't even respect my decision if you keep talking to me and keep harassing my boyfriend because of it, it's annoying. Leave him alone."

"Boyfriend? Do you know how crazy you sound?" He scoffed, looking at her. "Then don't listen at all, but you never listen to me so that should be fine then." Before he could reply Jun-Hee took Seun-jin's hand and walked far away from Myung-gi. "I'm sorry, about him."

"Don't worry it's fine. I'm good." He smiled, "Did he, say anything to you? Bad?"

"He told me to stay away from you for the most part." Jun-hee sighed mentally, she held both of Seun-jin's hand. "Please don't, I really missed your company. And it means a lot to me so please stay, don't listen to him."

"Do I listen if you called me your boyfriend? But all aside, I would never leave you because I love you, don't think so low of me." He smiled ruffling her hair, "Hey, Seun-jin, let's start over, again." He stared at her blankly, "You mean..."

"I mean exactly that." Seun-jin smiled like a little kid, Jun-hee noticed and smiled at him which she probably already knew the answer was. Once Seun-jin's happiness died down he answered. "Is that seriously a question? Of course."

"Have you been waiting for me to ask that?"

"Maybe."

"All players must report to the game hall for the next game."

"Let's go then shall we?" He held out his hand for Jun-Hee to take, and she did. "Sure, you act all high and mighty but once you hit the stairs it's like death for you. You're a person of many faces, but I love you anyways."

"Jun-hee thank you."
