murmurs filled the school today.
it was all about that boy... jung hoseo-
i don't even want to say that wretched name.
i could care less, but one particular conversation caught my attention.
when i was heading out of school, i heard;
it's quite sad. he told us he would be confessing to yunseo today.
yeah! he was so ready to, and now he's gone missing!
it's too bad, they were the perfect couple!
damnit. i miss that dude already!
they are not the perfect couple.
W E A R E.
i walked to the bus stop. it was raining again. but surprisingly, i saw you.
you were sitting on one of the benches, with your head down. a look of sadness stretched across your face.
why are you sad? it hurts to see you like this.
but, this was the perfect opportunity to talk to you.
i sat next to you, making you slightly turn your head sideways to see who it was.
my lips stretched into a small smile.
"hi, we're in the same school. your min yunseo, yes?"
for some reason, a look of shock stretched across your face. you hid it with a small, sad grin.
"whoa.. the kim seokjin... remembers my name... and is talking to me! i wonder why..."
you let out a chuckle, which is music to my ears.
"you look sad, and i wanted to comfort you. you can tell me what's wrong..."
your eyes widened. i guess you heard what other people say about me. i wasn't the type to offer comfort, and rarely only did so. you bite your lips and look out into the soaked landscape, taking a deep breathe.
"it's nothing."
"Come on, you can tell me. Okay, let me guess. Is it about..."
I grit my teeth, as I suck up my anger, and say the name of the boy that boils the blood in my veins.
"...Jung Hoseok?"
A sigh escapes your lips, as a frown begins to form on your expression.
"Good guess, oppa. Yes..."
so that's why your sad? what a stupid reason to be.
You press your lips together once more, and exhale.
"hoseok and i were best friends. he was like... my other half..."
liquid started to form around your eyes, and i gave you a reassuring look.
other half? i would've been better than that..!
"on wednesday, he promised... to take me somewhere special, and i really did look forward to it... but now, he's gone. someone i love... is gone."
the rage in me boiled again.
love? what do you mean, love?
you love him..?
"i'm sorry to hear that, yunseo- ah. i didn't know you two were so close. wherever hoseok is, i'm sure he is as hurt as you that you that he didn't get to keep his promise. but i know, he doesn't want you to be depressed because of him..."
tears were already dripping down your cheeks, but you attempted to hide them from my sight. your sad smile was visible, however.
"thank you, seokjin oppa. you're good at this, haha. i feel a bit better."
i am thankful that i listen to my fraudulent therapist of a mother's conversations.
