Dream High (On-Going)

Chapter 39

"You're drunk. I think you need to go back and sleep" Sungchan said grabbing me to the backstage 

I ended up crying on the stage. Luckily, the people believed that it was just part of my performance since it's common to cry while playing piano. They clapped for me and even gave me a standing ovation

Good thing, Sungchan grabbed me out of the stage and brought me here because if he wouldn't, I might ended up causing a scene there and it will just cause another issue on the social media

I don't have the ability to walk on my own so Sungchan assisted me until we reached the house. My dad and Jeno later on came, both worried

"Thank you for doing that Sungchan" my dad said and immediately assisted me inside the house. I'm so drunk that I can't even stand properly

"What's wrong, Ryu?" my dad worriedly asked while tying my messy hair

For some reasons, that question triggered something inside me. I immediately run to my dad and hugged him

"A-Appa" I bit my lips to stop myself from crying "I-It hurts so much"

I started crying like a kid. I don't know if I've already cried like this infront of my dad but I honestly don't care. I want to complain to him about how I really feel because I know that he will not judge me

"I shouldn't have comeback. It only opened the wounds from the past"

He slowly hugged me back and patted my back

"Just cry it all out" he whispered which made me cry even more

"I-I know that everything is my fault..." I broke our hug and punched my chest multiple times thinking that it would lessen the pain "S-So I can't do anything but to watch him t-thinking that I don't have any right to interfere with his life"

I don't care about who sees me. I just want to let it all out. I'm drunk that's why I'm being like this and I know that by tomorrow, I will regret doing this

"That's enough. You're drunk. Let me bring you to your room. Let's talk about it by tomorro--"

"Let me do it, Mr. Shin"

I don't know if I am dreaming but I think that's Jaemin's voice. I tried to wipe my tears and looked at the direction where his voice was coming from. My vision is blurry so I can't see his face clearly but I'm already sure that it's him

"N-No, you don't have to. I-I'm not your responsibility" I said out of embarrassment and tried to stand up properly and walk but ended up losing my balance

Two hands caught me. Sungchan and Jaemin looked at each other. I didn't know that Sungchan was still here so I suddenly felt embarrassed. Sungchan later on decided to let me go like he's already entrusting me to Jaemin

"I-I already told you, I'm not your---"

"Don't worry about her, Mr. Shin. Let me handle this" Jaemin said with his deep voice before carrying me in a bridal style

I don't have the strength to get away from him so I just let him carry me. I thought he's going to bring me on my room not until when I realized that we're heading on the other way

"W-Where are we going---"

I got flustered when I suddenly saw Chuu standing infront of our gate. She's just staring at us seriously. I immediately tried my best to get out of Jaemin's arms but he refused to let me go

"C-Chuu this is just a misunderstandi---"

"Jaemin-ah, the car is already prepared" Chuu said which made me stop. I looked at her confusedly but she just smiled at me before leaving. Wait, what does that smile mean?
