Where are you?

-Chapter 23-

Wheein Pov
I look at the mirror and felt the need to look away, but I don't and stare right back at my own reflection. I could see the way my eyes screamed for help, but nobody seemed to notice except those close to me. But I didn't allow them to save me. Even when I needed to escape my mind for a moment.

I hear my phone buzz from my bed and I could only assume that it was a message from Byul. I finally look away and make my way towards my bed to grab my phone, but I turn towards my nightstand and see a simple photo of Hyejin. I feel pain strike right at my heart and I clutch my chest and remind myself to breathe. I set the photo face down and grab my phone quickly.

I look down to see Yongsun had been the one who texted me. I read her message over and over till I knew I wouldn't have to look at my phone anymore to remember what she had said. Hyejin was in pain, but not in the way I was, but I know deep down that it wasn't her fault, but it seemed to be the only way to get her away from me. I sigh and shake my head as I think of a way to fix this, but there was no way to fix, especially if I don't want too.

I throw my phone on the bed and walk away from my bedroom and head towards my living room. I see Ggomo laying on the couch asleep and I simply wanted to be in his place, but instead I have to deal with people and my emotions. An exhausting life and he's was just perfect which I wished for but who was I to think that would even happen? There's no such thing as perfect... unless you're Ggomo then you're the definition of perfect.

I take a seat beside him and stroke his back as I hear him purr. I couldn't help, but smile at him. Ggomo the only thing that could possibly heal this broken heart of mine with a simple purr. I couldn't help, but chuckle as I realize how crazy I sound in my head, but it was best to be said aloud if I'm being honest.

I lay my head back and look at the ceiling as I feel Ggomo move onto my lap. I could feel his warmth and I feel something inside me aching. Maybe I was craving to be loved? Or maybe I'm being a foolish idiot hoping for something good to happen like alway. Something to make me feel alive again. I shake that thought out of my head and try to think of something positive.

I was gonna drift off to sleep until I hear a knock at my door and groan in annoyance. I reluctantly get up and look through the hole quickly, but I held my breath for a moment. I see Hyejin looking at the floor and I step back from the door and let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding in. "She's here." I whisper to myself and I felt the need to run away from her. To get her out of my life for you new it'd be better that way for the both of us.

"Wheein, please open the door." I snap out of my thoughts as I hear her soft voice call out to me. Let her in? Is she crazy, does she not remember what I said to her the last time she was here?! I frown and shake my head, but put my hand on the handle. Open it you coward, I think to myself, but in the end i let go of the handle and walk away from the door.

I head towards my room as I continue to hear her knocks. Save yourself from me, Hyejin. I lay in bed and curl up into a ball as I stifle my cries. I knew I was hurting the both of us, but I couldn't bring myself to look at her anymore, the pain was unbearable.

I'm on spring break! So I'll be taking a few days off, which I hope you guys understand :(
