IT'S OKAY

CHAPTER 6

ααααααααα

Although it wasn't as early as yesterday, I also got to school early today. Maybe it was because he had already told me what to do, it went by pretty smooth; I was now a student of the music department

"How's it go?"

I jumped at the voice that spoke behind me

I turned around, "Ah, it went well. Thanks to you" I told him with a smile

"That's good. Did I startle you?" he asked looking at me

"Only a little" I replied with a smile, looking at him briefly

"Joesonghaeyo" I'm sorry, he apologized

"Ani, gwaenchanh-a" No, it's okay, I told him

"Geurigo, you don't have to be so formal to me" Also..., I told him

"Ah, sure. Then I'll be speaking comfortably with you from now" he said

"Geurae" sure, I replied

We looked at each other before we laughed at each other

"Geureom, I'll see you later. I have something to do in the office" then..., he said

"Ah, sure. Bye" I told him and went to class

^^^^^

It was already lunch time, but Ji Sung was still nowhere to be found. I picked up my phone and dialed him number, but it was to no avail; he didn't pick up. I placed the phone back down on the table after a while, and began tapping the index finger of my right hand on the table

I know I might be over-reacting, but the chances of a high school student missing school and not answering his phone is not normal. The incident of yesterday not helping at all

Dapdapae, I thought to myself. This's frustrating

After a while, I got up, "Aish, molla" I don't know, I said and left for lunch

I didn't want to go to the cafeteria, so I went out for lunch instead

^^^^^

"I'm home" I announced as I entered the house

"Mom?" I called to get her attention, but she was too engrossed in what she was doing to notice me

"Mom?"

I then went to her and snapped her finger

"Omma!" mom!

She jumped

"Oh, you're back?" she asked as she removed her glasses

"And I've been trying to get your attention" I added

"Sorry, I was focused on what I'm doing"

"I saw that" I told her as I peeked at what she was doing

"How's it going?" I asked

"Well, not easy, but okay"

"Continue then, I'm going up"

"What about lunch?" she said

"It's okay" I stopped her as she was getting up

"Just continue what you were doing"

^^^^^

This is the reason why I neither bothered nor wanted to make friends. Thanks to my parent, mostly my father, I became nervous and anxious whenever I couldn't reach my friends. The feeling that something terrible had happened to them overwhelmed me to the extent that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I even go to their others friends' house, even though I didn't know them. only to find out that they were either celebrating something, or their parents made a way for them to skip school, or something else. I got tired of that feeling, it was consuming, so I made sure not to keep anyone close, and I've been doing so perfectly well
