14| The One With The Impasse

Kim Cheon-sa (Lady In Blue)

"What the hell is this?"

Cheon-sa looked up from her board to see her brother's dropped jaw and raised eyebrows. She noticed her room was a mess! Papers were strewn all across the room, boards filled with red and black ink, and a pile of clothes on the bed. 

"I can explain."

Kim Jae-Sung nodded slowly as he absorbed everything. "Yeah, I think you need to do more than explain."

Cheon-sa stepped back, her eyes not leaving the board for even one second. With a straight face, she began.

"We've reached an impasse."

Jae-Sung furrowed his eyebrows and pushed himself off the doorframe. He walked toward the board to take a look.

"What kind of an impasse?"

"My heart and mind want different things," began she. "Logically speaking, Kim Ha-Jun is the ideal type. Any woman would be lucky to have him. He's charming, confident, kind of a flirt, gentlemanly, successful, loves the color Blue, but a bit of a show-off."

"Hmm."

"But my heart keeps drawing me towards Lee Sung-Hoon. Unlike Ha-Jun, he is aloof, distant, and cold. However, I've seen him warming up to me in the last few months. He's observant, thoughtful, and kind and gets shy when he pulls off romantic gestures. The tips of his ears and cheeks turn a light shade of pink, which is adorable. Moreover, we both love trivia!"

Kim Jae-Sung remained quiet. He observed his sister throughout the explanation. When she talked about Ha-Jun, her pupils were normal, her breathing rate was regular, and her cheeks showed no sign of flushness. On the contrary, her eyes lit up when she talked about Sung-Hoon. Her cheeks turned a light shade of red, her breathing accelerated, and her pupils dilated.

Once she was done, she looked at her brother, who had a thoughtful look. 

"I can't believe I'm saying this," began Jae-Sung. "But screw logic for a second. The answer is clear, Cheon-sa."

"But logically-"

"It doesn't matter what your logic tells you," he cut her off. "Some things don't work according to scientific logic."

"I still have reservations about Sung-Hoon," Cheon-sa admitted. 

Jae-Sung heaved a long sigh. He placed a comforting hand on his sister's shoulder. 

"Nobody's asking you to dive into a relationship with him just yet. I suggest you both get to know each other better first before you decide whether you want to date or not. I believe Sung-Hoon must have reservations as well. Moreover, as he's the distant type, I doubt he'd be ready for a relationship right now."

Cheon-sa nodded.

Jae-Sung patted her shoulder. "Go on a date with Ha-Jun one last time before you make any decisions."

"Alright," said she. "Thanks, big brother."

"My pleasure, yeodongsaeng."

Kim Ha-Jun

The men were at their usual hangout spot: Lee Sung Hoon's apartment. Hwan-Woo, the groom-to-be, paced back and forth as he explained everyone's duty at the wedding. Everything was designed to the dot. There was no space to breathe between events. Starting from picking up the parents from the airport to dropping the newlyweds at the airport for their honeymoon - TIGHTLY PACKED SCHEDULE!

Jun-Seo heaved a sigh, a headache slowly forming on his forehead. 

"This is giving me a headache," said Song Jun-Seo. "I am never getting married."
