The wind was hitting your cheeks and whipping your hair as you looked up at the sky. Sometimes you wished you could sit on the clouds and watch over those you loved.
Your head was pounding, a mixture of stress and an overwhelming sense of wrongness. Your eyes glossed over, without you realizing it.
You hadn't felt this empty in a long time. You knew you shouldn't have felt this way - you had your brother, parents, the boyz, Jacob - they all made you feel full and happy. Yet, you felt like the shell of a person, and you hadn't felt like that since Jaesang became obsessed with you.
He made you think that you did something wrong, like it was your fault that he became obsessed with you. He made you think that you were a bad person for not being in love with him.
But you knew that things like that couldn't be forced.
The sky clouded over and you wanted to stay on the rooftop of the school, but didn't want to get rained on once again. You pushed yourself up and put your hands in your pockets, looking at the clouds once again. Your mind was just as cloudy as the sky was.
You let out a deep sigh and headed back to the hallways of the school. You had your head down when someone joined you and started walking with you.
"I'm sorry, Minji." Emiko whispered. "I shouldn't have been so awful to you."
You looked at her. "Don't pity me because of Trick, Emiko. Thank you for covering us from the rain, though."
She stopped in her tracks as you kept walking. Maybe you were right? Was she feeling bad about the way she treated you because she saw you in a vulnerable state? If you didn't believe that she was sorry, then she would prove that she truly was sorry.
Meanwhile, the boys were standing by their lockers, where they had met you on your first day.
"Minji has been very distant the last two days." Sangyeon mumbled.
Eric nodded. "Can you blame her?"
"No, not at all." Haknyeon replied. "I would be just as upset if I were her. Trick was like her best friend."
Sunwoo crossed his arms. "Then add Jaesang into the number."
Jacob was worried about you, they all were, but you hadn't been asking them to stay over, you hadn't been spending as much time with them during the school day. You still sat with them at lunch, so they counted their blessings. Jacob was afraid that you were distancing yourself from them so Jaesang wouldn't say anything to them. He couldn't voice this concern, since he was the only one who knew about what Jaesang did.
