Timeout

Part 11

TIMEOUT - Part Eleven

Gulping, Kyun sits in his mother's car and stares out of the window, watching all the students coming out of the school building to go home.

On Mondays, you and he have this extra tutoring... but after what you said earlier, he's not sure anymore if you're actually still there.

Cause you're definitely not waiting for him to show up. He can't expect you to just go on like you used to, ignoring the fight you both had and keep on studying together...

"I'm sure if she doesn't wanna listen, I can talk to her mom..." his mother mumbles and Kyun smirks but shakes his head.

"I really don't want my mommy to ask if I can see a girl..."

"Fair!"

They both chuckle and he takes another deep breath.

"I'm sure everything will be fine, Kyunnie..."

"What if not?" Helplessly he looks at her. "What if she sticks to what she said?"

His mother shrugs. "Then you'll try it again another time. Until she knows that you're being honest with her..."

"Thanks, mom!" he smirks another time before opening the car door and getting out.

"I'll wait here for a moment!" she says. "Just in case.... You know..."

With a grateful smile, he nods and shuts the door.

His heart is beating like crazy, really. But at the moment he can't really distinguish the feelings. There is so much anger and frustration in him...

Carefully he steps into the office and sees Mrs. Roberts sitting at her desk.

"Is she here?" he whispers to her. With a compassionate smile, she nods, from her expression, he could tell that she knew something was wrong between them.

"But I don't know if she'd like to see you..."

"I'm sorry Mrs. Roberts but I have to!"

The secretary doesn't even make an attempt to stop him, so he hobbles over to the study rooms and opens the door. The second you spot him, you jump off the chair.

"I understand you, okay?" he immediately blurts before you can say a word.

"Kyun, what-"

"Let me speak!" he interrupts you, devastated. "I understand you. I understand all of this. I understand what you've been through and how hard it is for you to fully trust! But you trust me! You said you trust me! And you told me what happened to you for a reason, right? You wanted me to know so I know how to handle you! So that I understand! And now you want to throw it all away? Because your mother said so?

This doesn't make any sense, y/n! I don't know what twisted mind games your mother is playing with you but the world is not the cruel place you think it is!" he pauses. "I mean it is! But you can't hide forever! You can't live like this for the rest of your life, studying, hiding from the world, and pretending it doesn't exist! Cause there are people out there who care for you! I care for you more than I thought I would and I want nothing more than to see you and to hear your laughter every fucking day but I can't if you push me away!"

Sobbing, you stare at him. Gosh, he hates that you're crying. He hates it so much.

"Me leaving you isn't what you want!" Kyun keeps on talking, your silence makes him so desperate. "I know you! And this isn't what you want! These aren't your thoughts! These are your mother's and she's scared about you and I get that. But this is your life! I need to hear it from you! If you really want me to leave, okay. I'll leave. We'll be the same strangers again we used to be, seven weeks ago. I won't talk to you, I'm out of your life! It will be hurtful as fuck but I want nothing more than to see you happy. I'll get over it! Just say it, and I'll go!"
