Dream High (On-Going)

Chapter 27

Haechan's POV:

"Enough, Haechan-ah. We still have classes tomorrow" Sunghoon grabbed the beer out of my hand

"Let him be. He's probably being like that because of Ji Eun" Yeji whisphered to him but loud enough for me to hear it

I laughed because of what Yeji said

How I wish that was the case...

"Where are you going?" Sunghoon asked when he saw me grabbed my car keys

"Home" I shortly answered

It didn't took me that long to reach District 9. The whole neighborhood was alive because of Ji Eun's return. That's how powerful Ji Eun and her family is

"Sir, someone wants to meet you---"

"I'm tired"

I ignored the maid and went straight to my room. I was about to open my door when someone spoke behind me

"I can tell that you're fine" she nodded "I guess I don't matter to you anymore that's why you didn't even think of visiting me"

She smiled weakly but I can see the pain in her eyes

I don't know what to feel. I feel like I am going to cry anytime. It's been a long time. I can't believe that she's now standing infront of me

"I just came here to see if you're doing well"

She was about to left but I held her hand to stop her

"I-I'm sorry"

I bit my lips to stop my tears from falling. I looked at our hands together and memories suddenly came back

I shouldn't have dared to hold this hand in the first place...

I slowly let go of her hand and hid my hand inside my pocket. She looked at me confusedly because of what I did

"You're saying sorry for what?" she asked with her brows furrowed

"You got into that accident because of me. I'm sorry"

"If I only knew you were blaming yourself for what happened to me. I wish I had woken up faster" she laughed with full of pain in her voice

"I never blamed you for what happened to me. Not even once, Haechan-ah"

The tears started to form on the corner of her eyes while looking at me. It looks like she wants to say something but she doesn't know how to say it

I know Ji Eun better than anyone else...

Everyone might think that Jaemin was the one who knew Ji Eun better than anyone else but no. It's me. It's always been me because Ji Eun was always true and visible infront of me

"Can I still trust you?" she suddenly asked

"Of course" I smiled but my smile slowly faded when she suddenly hugged me and started to cry

What's wrong?

I let her cry on my chest. She's just crying silently but you can hear her sobs because of how quiet our mansion is. I slowly wrapped my arms around her and gently patted her back while caressing her hair

Ji Eun rarely cry like this and even if she does it means she's in a deep pain. I wonder what happened for her to cry like this

"I don't know what to do, Haechan-ah. I have nothing left. That girl took everything away from me" she said

Even though she didn't said who it is. I know that she's talking about Ryujin so I stopped caressing her hair and just listened to her

"While I was in coma. Everything I hear was about her. Starting from my brothers, to my parents, to my friends and lastly, Jaemin. It's so annoying!" she held my clothes tighter out of anger
