"Sungmo!! Halmeoni!! I'm going to school..."
Siyi shouted...
"Siyi!! You haven't yet recovered completely from yesterday's tragedy... Don't go to school today... Stay home and get some rest, my child!!" spoke Ray's mother.
"But Sungmo!! I'm alright now...
Also, my wound is almost healed... I could walk, run, jump and do everything now...
See..."
Siyi started running and jumping on the floor to solace Ray's mother.
"But Siyi!! Your wound is not healed completely...
Listen to me... Just stay at home today...
I'll tell Ray to give you today's notes...
If you'll face any difficulty in understanding the topics to be taught today at school, you can ask Ray...
He'll teach you after school...
Now go to your room and get some sleep..." told Ray's mother.
"Okay Sungmo..."
Siyi bowed her head and went back to her room... But she couldn't sleep as her brain was full of thoughts related to Ray...
"Its only for one day...
Siyi!! Stop thinking about him...
Only you'll suffer if you continue thinking about him... No one will care about your feelings...
Its only been a while and I have already started missing him...
What will I do when I'll have to go away from him??
Stop it Siyi!!! Don't think about him!!
Let me listen to music... It'll divert my mind..."
Siyi spoke to herself and went to bring her handphone for listening music...
Watching Ray waiting for Siyi at the entrance, Ray's mother spoke out,
"Ray!! Siyi will rest at home today...
Her wound is not healed yet... You don't need to wait for her...
Go to school...
And listen... Give her today's class notes and clarify her doubts after coming back from school..."
"Okay Omaa!!
Bye Bye!!" replied Ray and went to school...
"Hey bro!! Why didn't you come yesterday??"
Jun sat beside Ray and asked him.
"Went on a family picnic..." spoke Ray.
"Why didn't you call me?? It would have been lots of fun if both our families would have gone together..." spoke Jun.
"It would have been more troublesome than fun if we would have taken you with us...
Don't you remember what happened 5 yrs back...
When both our families went on a picnic and you got separated from us while chasing after a cock...
It took me 4 hrs to find you..." spoke Ray to tease Jun.
"Hyung (Big brother)!! I was a kid at that time... I'm grown up now...
I don't get lost anymore..." spoke Jun pulling a long face.
"Really!! Then last month, who called me at 9 pm for not finding way to go back home??" asked Ray in a funny tone.
Jun looked hither and thither in embarrassment...
"Are you really my best friend??
Why do I feel as if you're avenging on me??" asked Jun.
"Okay! Okay! I'll stop here... I'll not tease you anymore...
I know you're weak in finding directions... But don't get lost again...
Try to be smart..." replied Ray.
"Of course I'm smart bro!! My only weakness is direction...
And even if I get caught somewhere, I know you'll come to save me...
So I'm going to depend on you forever... And you can't refuse me..."
Jun spoke and hugged Ray leaning his head on Ray's shoulder.
Ray patted his head and smiled adorably...
"By the way, where's your former deskmate?? I didn't find her today..." asked Jun getting up his head from Ray's shoulder.
"She's on leave..." spoke Ray.
"Ooo.. It seems you both are quite close... You even know the reason for her absence..." replied Jun taunting Ray.
Ray ignored him and continued reading his book...
After few seconds, Hyuna walked to Ray's desk...
"Ray!! I'm holding a party tonight along with my friends... Please do come...
And Jun!! You also..." spoke out Hyuna.
"I'm busy tonight... Can't come..." spoke Ray.
"But Ray!! Everyone in our class will attend the party... If you won't come, I'll feel bad...
Please come for at least an hour...
Please Ray..." requested Hyuna.
"Right Ray!!
Don't always get busy with studies...
Have some fun in life..." spoke Jun.
"So it's fixed...
We both will come..." spoke Jun to Hyuna without consulting Ray.
"Thanks Ray!! Thanks Jun!!
I'll send the time and address in our class group..." spoke Hyuna and went back to her seat.
"But...." Ray tried to refuse the invitation, but Jun didn't let him speak.
"What bro!! We don't get such opportunities often...
It's very rare for us to attend a party and have fun...
Don't speak anymore...
Be ready at evening... I'll pick you up from your home... " Jun spoke and went back to his desk.
Hyuna sent the time and address in their class group but removed Siyi from the list...
"This time, I'll not go easy on you, Siyi... Ray is only mine... I'll not let anyone get between us..."
Hyuna spoke in her mind...
She pre-planned everything to humiliate Siyi badly and make her lose face in front of everyone...
After school, Hyuna sent a private message to Siyi asking her to come to her home urgently...
Siyi left immediately to Hyuna's home before Ray's arrival...
"What happened Hyuna?? Are you okay?? Why did you call me in urgency??
I was so worried about you..."
Siyi asked Hyuna while holding her breathe.
"Come... Sit here first...
You'll know about it soon..."
Hyuna spoke to Siyi and started applying makeup on her face.
"I'm holding a Halloween party tonight...
I invited everyone in our class...
And I want my best friend to be the most beautiful one in the party...
So sit quietly and let me doll you up..." spoke Hyuna in an appealing tone.
"But..." Siyi was going to speak something, but was interrupted by Hyuna.
"What did I say now?? Sit quietly...
No more questions..." spoke out Hyuna.
Hyuna dressed up Siyi with a long black gown, red heels, black-net hand gloves and cosplay cat ears...
She even farded Siyi's face like a witch...
"Hyuna!! Don't you think I look quite a bit abnormal??" asked Siyi in bewilderment.
"You silly girl!! It's a trending dress-up... You can't understand...
Now don't think anymore...
Just sit quietly..."
Hyuna spoke and went to call her friend, Minah.
On call....
"Everything is ready... Remember your roles and act accordingly..."
Hyuna told Minah and went back to Siyi.
"Siyi!! I have some urgency now...
I have to go to my cousin's house as soon as possible...
I'll go to the party directly... You can just stay here...
I booked a cab for you... After one hour, get on the cab and go to the party directly..." spoke Hyuna.
"But Hyuna!! Staying here alone for an hour??" asked Siyi in nervousness.
"What's wrong with that!!
No one is there at my home... And even my parents will return tomorrow from their trip...
So no one will disturb you here...
Just stay here okay... I'm going now... Bye Bye..." spoke Hyuna and rushed out without letting Siyi speak anything.
Siyi didn't have any other option... So she stayed at Hyuna's home...
Ray got ready and asked his mother, "Omaa!! Where's Siyi??"
"Siyi got a call from her friend and rushed out immediately... I thought she had some urgency...
I tried to ask her, but she went out before I could reach her..."
replied Ray's mother.
Noticing Ray wearing a formal outfit, his mother asked him,
"Where are you going??"
"My friend is holding a party tonight... So I'm waiting for Jun to pick me up..." answered Ray.
"Oh!! Okay!!" replied Ray's mother.
After few minutes, Jun arrived and picked up Ray from his home...
Siyi felt bored alone at Hyuna's home... So she went around to take a look at her home...
All of a sudden, her eye fell on a diary...
She opened it and found it to be Hyuna's personal diary... So she closed it and kept it back at its place...
When she turned back, the diary fell down after getting hit by Siyi's dress...
So, Siyi picked it up...
But, while picking up the diary, a photo fell down from it... Siyi was shocked when she saw the photo...
It was none other than Ray's photo...
Siyi immediately opened the diary and turned the pages...
She was in revelation when she found that Hyuna has been liking Ray since 2 years...
Siyi's mind went blank... She couldn't think of anything...
She was in a dilemma between friendship and love...
Finally, she decided to give up her feelings and help Hyuna to get together with Ray...
She took that picture of Ray and put it in her handbag...
She decided to confirm about it first, by asking Hyuna about her feelings at the party...
After few minutes, Siyi went out for the party as the cab arrived...
When Siyi entered the party, everyone stared at her with shock as she was dressed like a witch...
Siyi realized that Hyuna lied to her... It was a casual party and not a Halloween party...
Everyone glared at Siyi and started gossiping about her costume...
Siyi got nervous and started looking at Ray, but Ray ignored her...
Suddenly, Hyuna's friend Minah and her friends arrived and started tormenting Siyi...
"Oh My God!! Let me see who's this...
Oooo... The Witch!!
Well Siyi!! When did you become a witch??
I couldn't even recognize you..." spoke Minah in a creepy tone.
"Minah!! Do you know the work of a witch??
It's to steal other's love...
Siyi!! Did you steal anyone's love??" asked Minah's friend.
Siyi was dumbfounded by the allegations and stood still...
"By the way, you have a nice handbag... Where did you buy it??
Let me see..." spoke out Minah and took Siyi's handbag without her permission and dropped it intensionally.
"Oh Sorry!! I'll pick it up" spoke Minah in an awful tone.
Unfortunately, Ray's picture fell down from Siyi's handbag and got into Minah's hand...
"What's this?? Ray's picture!!" spoke out Minah while glaring at the picture astonishingly.
Ray suddenly turned his face towards Siyi after listening to Minah...
Everyone started gossiping about Siyi again...
"O My My!! It means I was right...
You really stole someone's love..."
Minah started bad-mouthing Siyi again.
"Siyi!! I really underestimated you...
You are not as simple as I thought...
You are really a witch...
I wonder what a sorceress would have been the lady who gave birth to such a vixen..."
Minah insulted Siyi rudely.
Siyi couldn't endure the humiliation anymore and finally spoke out,
"Enough!!
You bad-mouthed me... You criticized me...
I kept quiet and endured everything...
But if you or anyone speaks anything bad about my mother, I won't tolerate it...
I'll never tolerate it at all...
And what did you speak now??
I'm a witch... I stole someone's love...
Did you see it??
I'm asking, did you see it??
Who gave you the right to speak ill about me and my mother??
Answer me..."
Siyi asked Minah fumingly.
"Then you answer me... Why Ray's picture is there in your handbag??
It's clear that you have feelings for Ray..." asked Minah in a stammering tone.
"Yes!! I have feelings for Ray...
I love him...
Do you have any problem??" Siyi replied savagely.
"At least I have the daring to confess my feelings...
Some people are so coward... They could just hide their feelings and play tricks to humiliate others..."
Siyi spoke out indicating Hyuna.
Hyuna clenched her fist in anger...
Ray was totally flabbergasted after hearing Siyi's words... His mind went blank...
Minah and her friends couldn't think of speaking anything further and started staring at each other...
"You guys can enjoy the party...
Sorry for the interruption..."
Siyi spoke and went out taking her handbag from Minah.
Siyi was in pain as she realized her close friend, Hyuna stabbed her at her back...
Moreover, she was scared to go home after confessing her feelings for Ray in front of everyone...
Hence, she went to calm herself at the sea-shore.
In the meantime, the incident caused chaos at the party...
Soon, everyone went back to their homes...
Ray was still in shock as he never thought Siyi to have feelings for him...
Jun gave him a ride back to his home...
"It's a happy day for you bro!!
So be happy and stop thinking much...
And treat Siyi well..." spoke out Jun on the way, to Ray and went back to his home after dropping Ray...
Though Jun wished Ray and Siyi to get together, he was upset as he had already fallen for Siyi at first sight...
Jun started liking Siyi from the day she joined their school...
He used many excuses to talk to Ray just to get chances to watch Siyi closely... But after knowing Siyi's feelings for Ray, Jun decided to suppress his feelings for Siyi and his best friend's happiness...
Siyi was upset after facing such a tragic situation... She didn't have the courage to face Ray...
So she decided to go back home late after Ray falls asleep...
"Ray!! Did you contact Siyi??" asked Ray's mother.
"No!!" answered Ray.
"I'm calling her since evening but she's not answering my calls..." spoke Ray's mother.
"Aahh!! Omaa!! I forgot to tell you...
Siyi called me from her friend's number a few minutes back...
She said that her friend's mother was ill and she had to accompany her friend at hospital... So she will come home late... And also... She left her phone at her friend's home... That's why, she's not answering her phone..." said Ray.
"Auhh!! You should have told me earlier... I was so worried about her... Halmeoni was also getting worried about her...
So, I told her that she went to her friend's birthday party...
Now that you have told me, I got relief...
Okay then you go to sleep... I'll wait for her..." spoke Ray's mother.
"Omaa!! You don't have to wait for her... She said that she may be unable to return home today...
So, she'll come home tomorrow... You better go for sleep..."
Ray told his mother.
"Okay then... I'm going for sleep...
You don't stay too late... Go to bed early..." replied Ray's mother.
Ray nodded his head and his mother went back to her room...
Ray was worried about Siyi, so he couldn't fall asleep...
He waited for Siyi to come back home...
Finally, Siyi came back home at 12 pm...
She put her footsteps slowly so that no one could notice her...
She went upstairs to her room secretly...
Suddenly a voice came from backside, "Do you know what time it is??"
"O Gapjagi (I got startled) !! That scared the crap out of me..." Siyi spoke out in shock.
She exhaled in relief after noticing Ray...
"Where were you till now?? Do you still remember that you have to come home??" asked Ray rudely.
"Are you worried for me??" asked Siyi.
"I'm just worried that my mother would fall sick by waiting for you so long..." answered Ray.
"I'm sorry!! I won't stay out late anymore..." spoke out Siyi.
"You don't have to feel embarrassed... I don't care whether you like me or not...
Omaa was worried about you... So I told her that your friend's mother was ill and you went to accompany her at the hospital...
Now go to sleep..."
Ray spoke to Siyi and went back to his room.
Siyi's heart started aching...
"Did Ray reject me just now??"
Siyi murmured to herself.
She was utterly distressed...
She went back to her room and burst into tears...
She couldn't sleep and cried whole night...
She had never thought that falling in love could be so harshly painful...
Will Ray understand her feelings???
Would she ever taste the sweetness of love or will love remain as her painful memory forever??
To be continued...........
