1368 Words
Yugyeom was on the rehearsing room, laid on the couch as it was the break.
The music was on, and Jaebum, Jackson and Mark were sitting on the floor just staring at him from the other side of the room.
They've noticed Yugyeom has been different for around a week now. He became quieter, and his expression wasn't the same. But today he was worse; no talking at all, and seemed lost on his thoughts when has his eyes opened.
"How is it possible music is playing and he is just laid there?"-Jaebum asked not taking his look off the guy on the couch-
-Mark did a gesture-"What can be happening to him?"-He asked-
-Jackson looked at him shocked- "Mark can say something else than 'let him be'"-he said staring at the mentioned.
Mark stared at him with a gesture, and Jackson was looking at him still with a mocking face.
"Maybe something happened with that girl."-Jaebum said, not paying attention to the others conflict.
"You think?"-Mark asked looking at the one who just talked.
-Jaebum shrugged his shoulders, and nodded yes- "He has been down for almost a week now... He is never like that, and I don't see him on his phone anymore"
"Maybe"-Jackson said looking at them.
Jackson stood up and walked on his way to him. The others just stayed there
"Yugyeom"-Jackson said as soon as he hit the couch.
-"Hm."-He replied not opening his eyes.
"We're planning on going to the club tonight."-He lied- "Wanna come?"
-He nodded no-
"Why?"-Jackson asked once again, and looked back at the others (Who were staring at him), and looked back at the guy on the couch.
-Yugyeom cleared his throat, and looked at him-"I have a dinner with my parents at 8."
"But the club isn't until-"
"I said no"-He replied looking at him still, and then closed his eyes again.
Jackson stood there with his eyes open, and went back to the others.
"Definitely something happened with that girl"-He said sitting back on the same spot as before.
"Why?"-Jaebum asked.
"He has attitude"
"What did you say?"-Mark asked.
"Invited him to the club"-He replied.
"You know that since he met that girl he hasn't gone back clubbing"-Jaebum said, and Jackson shrugged.
Yugyeom was laid on the room couch because he didn't want to be home, and also because he can't be missing that much to rehearsals.
The break was over, and they were rehearsing with the choreographer. As soon as they started dancing, Yugyeom missed it. He was lost on the moves, he just wasn't focused. Every time he missed it, he apologized with the others, and when went back on the same, missing it. Again.
Every time he missed it, his friends look at each other with gestures.
Yugyeom apologized once again to them all, and asked the leader of them if he could leave. He accepted.
-
Not passed 5 minutes that Yugyeom reached home, when he received a knock at his door.
He walked to the front door, from the living, and opened. It was Jackson.
Jackson looked at him with a serious look and walked inside, closing the door behind me.
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you?"-Jackson asked not taking his eyes off the other.
"Nothing"-He replied-
"Kim Yugyeom, I know you enough to know there's something wrong with you. Tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help you"-He looked at the other with a worried look.
-Yugyeom said nothing-
"Be honest with me, did something happened with Seol?"- He asked.
Yugyeom said nothing.
"Huh?"
"CAN YOU LEAVE ME THE f**k ALONE?!"-Yugyeom yelled, making Jackson opened his eyes surprised. "Whatever is wrong with me is none of your business! Leave me alone"-He ended up saying, this time not yelling.
"I'm just asking because we're worried about you. But okay, as it's none of my business I'll leave you alone"- Jackson said calmed, and left.
Yugyeom is not the kind of people who yells and shout at people. But the last thing he wants right now is people asking.
Since what happened with Seol a week ago he has been feeling down. He feels disappointed, more than anything.
He has never been in a serious relationship, never knew how to choose. But about this one he felt so different; he was so into her, and she made her believe she was too.
Everything she told him the other day, shocked him. He was not expecting any of what she said. Everything felt so real when they were together, that he really though it would work out.
For the very first time in his life he thought he would have a serious relationship, but it just got messed up.
-He walked to the couch and let his body fall on it and closed his eyes.
He feels there's something more. The connection he felt every time they were together ain't a joke.
Thoughts of that day came back to his head, and some of the words she said kept on repeating on his head.
She told him a lot of things that confused him, and disappointed him, but he was sure that there's more he needs to know.
"I thought I was starting liking you."-He mumbled- "That's exactly the kind of guys I'm afraid of."-continued and opened his eyes- "I was doing all this on spite. I would say that that night was regrettable."-He mumbled and stood up.
"I need to go and talk to her."- He grabbed his phone for texting her-
"- He grabbed his phone for texting her-
"Read"-He mumbled-
-He was about to text her something else, when his phone started ringing.
His dad.
"Yes, father?"-He said as he picked up- "Okay. See you there."-He said and hung up.
He was about to call her, but then he thought it has no case. "She won't pick up."
He threw his phone on the couch, and left to his room, for taking a shower. He was not lying when he told Jackson he was going to a dinner with his parents.
-
He got ready, and grabbed his phone to see if she had replied.
"Nothing"-He said and sighed-
-His phone started ringing. He looked at it fast wishing it could be her.
"Yes, father"-He said and sighed- "I'm on my way"
-He grabbed his car keys and walked outside.
He was driving with his phone on one of his hands, hesitating whether calling her or not.
The night she went and talked to him, she didn't let him talk. There is so many things he need to tell her, that he thinks he might explode. As didn't let him reply to all the things she told him, he needs to let it all out.
When he reached the place he is going to eat with his parents, he hesitated whether coming out or not.
No.
He turned the car back on, and drove back.
He needs to talk to Seol.
-
While he was on his way to Seols, his phone started ringing, it was his father. He let it ring a couple of times, and then turned the phone off.
He reached the apartment, and went off the car. Took the lift, and when he reached Seols apartment, he rang the bell.
No response.
He looked through the door peephole.
He looked through the door peephole
She is in there ^He thought^
He looked through it again, and she was standing there, looking straight to the door from the hallway.
"Kim Seol. Open up"-He said.
No response.
Desperation filled his body, so he started knocking on the door.
No response
No response.
He stayed about 2 minutes knocking, and no response.
He started knocking harder and pulling the door knob
He started knocking harder and pulling the door knob.
No response yet
No response yet. So he let himself fall on the front door.
"I'm staying out here until you decide to talk to me"-His voice cracked
"I'm staying out here until you decide to talk to me"-His voice cracked.
Why she doesn't want to talk to him?
He NEEDS to talk to her today... Or his head and something called heart inside him will explode.
