Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ 7

I suddenly don't feel good tonight. I sat in the front yard while thinking deeply.

"Is there a problem, Luna?". I looked at my side when I heard Grandpa, he seated beside me.

"Nothing grandpa, I'm fine". I forcely smiled at him, and he shook his head.

"I know there is, I can see the sadness in your eyes. You know you can tell me anything". He caressed my shoulder.

"It's really nothing, promise. I'm just tired from school, grandpa". I lied, he nodded and let out a sigh.

"Grandpa is always here, remember that. Let's go, we are going to eat now". I nodded and helped him walk since he's getting weak because of his age.

I sat beside Daniel and Grandpa while Auntie called Jake and his friends. Jake looked at me but I just ignored it, they sat facing us. I'm facing Jay, beside him are Jake and Heeseung.

We started eating and the adults are talking random stuff while Daniel is comfortably talking to Heeseung, Sunghoon, Jay and Jake. I'm just eating quietly.

"Why are you so quiet, Noona?". Daniel said loudly, getting the attention of the others. Even Jake's friend.

"What's wrong Luna?". Dad asked because of what Daniel said.

"Noth-"

"Don't you like the food? Do you want me to get other food?". Auntie asked then get ready to get up

"I'm fi-"

"What do you want?". Mom asked too.

aahh! let me just finish first!

"Wa-wait, I'm fine. The food is really delicious, I guess I'm just tired from school. Don't worry about me I'm really okay". I smile at them.

"Don't mind me, please enjoy your food". I said in a cheerful tone as much as possible to stop them from worrying too much and gesture them the food.

They continue eating and go back to talking. I then stepped on Daniel's feet and pinched him.

"Ouc-". I glare at him deadly, he shut up and frown.

We ended eating, they're putting away the things we use. I walked to the garden and spotted a wooden chair and seated.

Before I can fully seated I hear some voices, I rapidly find where I can hide. I saw two big containers and hid behind them.

"What did you say to Luna?". My eyes widened when I heard my name from Jake.

"Nothing". Jay simply replied.

"It looks like it really affects her". Heeseung said, their voices are getting clear meaning they're getting near to my place.

"I don't care about her, all I want is to quickly finish this project". That Jay's voice, I rolled my eyes.

I wonder why Jake became his friend. All of his friends are good people. What happened to him? I don't really get it.

"If you want to finish this project quickly, treat her right and talk to her nicely. Tsk!". Jake said I then heard footsteps walk away.

Just then Layla arrived and started to licked me. I tried not to giggle but then she started making a sound.

"Shush, Layla. Please, I will give you treats later". I whispered then patted her to stop.

"Is that Layla?". My eyes got wider then I started to hear footsteps coming.

I quickly looked around and finally saw another place where I can hide.

"Layla, what are you doing there?". Just in time I completely hide.

I guessed this is not my best day, I really ran out of luck.

Layla then started barking in my direction.

I will not give you any treats!

"Who are you barking at, Layla?". Shit, he's still here!

"Let's go, they are probably finding you now". I let out a sigh of relief.

But then I accidentally move the small container beside me that make a loud thud.

"Who's there?". Here we go again, I heard his footsteps again!

"Meow...". I then put my hands on my lips.

"Thank God". I heard him sighed then walked away.

Thank God too, I have talent? should I call it a talent? but whatever you call it. I'm good at impersonating dogs and cat, like really good to the point that you will never notice it sounds like a person.

I peeked to see if he's gone. When I make sure that he's finally gone, I step out from hiding and sit on the chair.

If he doesn't care about me then I don't care about him too. I'm doing it for my grade, for me. I don't need him if he doesn't want to.

I entered Jake's house and saw them sitting. I sit down beside Mom and nudge her.

"I want to go home now". I whispered.

"Okay, let's wait for your Dad to finish and bid goodbye to your Grandparents". I nodded and went back to the guest room.

I scrolled through my phone and waited for them to call me. My eyelids are getting heavy when I heard a knock from the door.

It opened and revealed Jake waving at me. I slightly rolled my eyes and turned my back to him.

"Hey, are you mad at me?". I didn't answer.

"Okay, look I'm sorry. I will talk to Jay later, don't be mad at me. I know you can't resist me". He walked towards me and tickled me.

"Yah! Stop! I will punch you". He quickly stopped and looked down.

"Good boy, talk to your friend who is always on his red days". I giggled, when he looked up I then threw the pillow to him.

"Ouch! Are we good now?!". I nodded and smile.

"Yeah we're good now but one last time-". I threw another pillow to his face then laughed.

We go down and bid goodbye to our Grandparents, Auntie, Uncle and Jake and go home.
