How I Use My 24Hours

12

I hop on Jennie's car, she wait me to finish my task in class before.

Long a ride we are just silent, to be honest there is so many things I want to ask to Jennie but everytime I open my mouth I close it rightaway

"Just say something, Chaeng, you seems want to ask or tell me something"

"I don't"

She stops her car due to red light "Don't lie to me" without looking at me

"But I really don't"

"Look, Chaeyoung.. if-"

"Why you push me to talk? If you have nothing to say yourself then silent Jennie, no need to force me to talk"

"What?"

"Whats with that what?"

"What happend to you? Really Chaeyoung, I seriously ask you this time!"

The car starts to moving again, it's the traffic lamp-area that some weeks ago she receive call from her boyfriend

"Nothing. I just have nothing to ask or talk with you right now"

"Then why you not paying attention when I explain the subject at class earlier? You even still wearing those headset of yours when I presenting the case"

"That wasn't right. I paid attention to you"

"Ohh right, the time you only sometimes look at my direction and even always end up with rolled eyes when I look at you back? Why?"

"Please we are not on Uni area again, so you are not my profesor anymore, stop act like one. Stop scold me"

"I'm not scold you, I just asking whats wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm fine"

"Did I make a mistake?"

"Don't assume anything if you don't feel like doing one"

"Can you behave, please.. Stop acting like a teenagers, you make me confuse!"

"YOU BEHAVE!!! Really? Me? Acting like teenagers? Sorry if I'm being a brat to you, but an adult will act like what's it supposed to, an adult will do what they said, not the opposite way!"

"There! Talk more, what's kind of my act that opposite with whats I've said? I do nothing wrong tho"

Not far away from here, we will arrive at Aus but I don't feel happy to come to work place with this heavy argument we have right now

"Oh you did nothing? Yes Jennie, maybe you just look at me as a brat teenager that always cause you headache & can played around by you"

"What is your mean?"

"Yesterday when you text me to wait you in library cause you still have a briefing on profesor-room & it wont take 20 minutes you said.. I stupidly did that, Jennie.. until I passed my work-time & you never come, I hesitate to made a call cause afraid you will disturbed, but when I decide to go to Bus stop, I saw you kissed a man inside your car near the parking Gate. I don't know who he is, maybe your beloved boyfriend, maybe your work-mate, another profesor or, I don't know what to guess anymore. But you really didn't text me again to keep waiting for you or to just go work & don't wait for you finish your make out season there!"

Jennie pull away the car to side & stop there, "Chaeng... you see that? Yesterd—"

I cuckled "See, you didn't even denied it.. haha how stupid I am wasting my time to believed that you actually busy in that damn briefing you mention!"

"No.. No.., it's, uh I'm sorry for making you wait, but.."

"You just sorry for making me wait, not saying sorry to lie, or maybe to fool me around, to make me believe that— ahh, maybe it's just me that put my hope too high, that's okay.. No need to apologize, my time is not so that important, same just like me"  I keep looking at front while I'm sure she looking at me

"You are important Chaeng, I just messed up yesterday, I'm sorry I forget to text you that time..."

"Surely you forgot, you were too occupied with that man"

"It's not like that, Rosie.."

"Don't you know that you are the one who make me confuse? You are the one who act like teenager? Can't you stick to what you said? You can't come into others life & make it misserable, Jennie! One day you said you love me & the other day you make out with a man! Is that how adult act? Then call me a teenager or even a kid if being an adult means act like that way!"

"Chaeyoung, please forgive me. I'm sorry called you teenager, but please don't feel that way, you are much worth my time than a—"

"I want a date, Jennie."

"Pardon?"

"Take me on a date, what we do now is not a date"

"Sorry Chaeyoung, I can't"
