Strings, Lies, and Pains (MiChaeng) (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 3

Chaeyoung

"What the hell was that Chae!?" Dahyun yelled at me. We're now in my office. She yelled at me once I stepped foot in my office. I know she's been holding herself back. On the way here she's silent and giving me death glares. I sighs holding my temple and sit on my chair.

"The fuck is your problem and said those! You were insensitive and a total asshole. Did you not realize that!?" She yelled at me and she's really mad, like, really really mad. This mad Dahyun is rare and I don't really want it when she's like this. Because it just clearly shows how much I fucked up and disappointed her. I can't blame her that was not me. I mean, I've never been like that to anyone.

"Your reason was so fucking petty; you're not like that, what's wrong huh? What's the real reason? I know you Chae." She said those still with her mad tone and sit down facing me. Her facial expression is a mixture of anger, disappointment, and confusion. Again, I can't blame her.

"That was the reason, nothing more, nothing less." I said also sounding pissed. I can't tell her about it, never, no one will know about that and I will make sure of that.

"They cancelled it; we can't do anything about it anymore." I added pissed and massaging my temple.

Both of us then became silent.

"Don't be selfish." She blurted out with so much stern. I was taken aback by what she said and how she sounded. I look up and meet her furious eyes.

"They're my friends Chae, MY. I treasure them and care for them. You're no one to disrespect them like that. I'm ashamed of myself because I didn't say anything earlier. I'm afraid they'll also see me like how they saw you." She said coldly with her face expressionless.

I remained silent, looking at her.

"I don't know what your problems are these days. You've been acting different and always lost in your thoughts. Chaeyoung get back to your senses! I won't tolerate this!" She yelled once again glaring at me. It's true that I'm always lost in my thoughts; it's because of her, that scary girl from earlier. These days I'm always tired and overthinking. I don't know anymore...but as what she said—I should get back to my senses.

"I'll take a break for a week." She wakes me from my trance. I frowned looking at her. But I couldn't say anything. I'm shocked of what she said.

"Reflect on what you did Chae. Just contact or visit me once you want to tell me the real reason so we can go there and tell it to them and apologize again. I know you Chae." She said with finality looking at me emotionless. I just sat still and couldn't speak. This is bad and really a nuisance!

I just watch her walk out of the door. As the door closes, my thoughts clouded me again.

I just got home and was greeted by no one. I sighed and sit on my couch facing the big window; I can clearly see the far sea from here. For a moment there everything is calm. It's like those things didn't happened earlier. It's like I still haven't met my soulmate and that I wasn't an asshole to her, because in this house it all still look the same. Nothing changes, where the plants are, the way my coffee maker sounds, things are still where they've always been. Pretty boring and sad, it's always the same; when I left the house every morning I'll see the sea and when I came home, I'll be greeted by no one.

But today is different for me I guess. It's been a while since I came home that the sun is still up. Usually I go home when it's dark and can barely see the outside. Just letting the curtains down since I'm afraid to see the dark. Then I'm gonna make some food and eat it while watching some videos on my phone. Yes, my life is too boring. Nothing new happened- oh...
