Chae Byeol

It was the next morning and I was still stuck in bed. It felt good to just be lazy. I was woken up by my phone vibrating.

I looked at my phone as saw a text.

Seojunnie: Are you busy today?

I forgot I had him saved as that. But why would he ask me?

Me: I am free.....why?

He read my message but didn't respond right away

Seojunnie: I want to explain everything, but I also want the truth from you.

I gasped, I honestly wasn't him expecting to tell me anything. I was just being a smart ass.

Me: Fine. Where?

Seojunnie: I'll pick you up at 3.

Me: Your mom said no riding the bike???

Seojunnie: Well it's that or we walk.

Me: Fine.

Seojunnie: Great.

It started to hit me that I would have to tell him about what's wrong with me. I kicked the air in anger. My brother walked in to my room to see me fuss.

"What's wrong with you?"

I stopped kicking and laid my legs back down.

"Hyungwon.....can you kill me?"

"What?! I just came to tell you breakfast is here, not to commit murder."

He walked out confused while I just stared at the ceiling.

Can't he just leave it be?

It was 2:45 and I was panicking. I tried to come up with a lie but none of them were convincing. Plus, I knew Seojun would see right through me.

"Stop pacing you making me nervous."

My brother was on the couch as he watched me by the door.

"I am stressed."

"What's new?"

"Shut up. Geez you're not helping."

"How about you talk to Seyeon? You say you see him sometimes."

"He just pops out of nowhere. I have no control over that."

He shook his head and continued looking at the TV.

My phone started ringing.
