Love with an Alien

Chp. 6 Friends or Nah?

V's POV

This should be an interesting year..., I thought. "Hello, irimun Kim Taehyung imnida, but I also go by V. Nice to meet you all, please take good care of me I guess.."

All the girls squealed and giggled.

Girl one: He's so handsome!!

Girl two: I really want to ask him out

Girl three: Back off girl, he's mine!!!

Girl four: He's ok I guess.. I mean, for a guy...

Girl five: Yah, you're not exactly miss Korea yourself!!

Ughh... This is gonna be a long year...

Teacher: Let's see... You'll be sitting next to Sooyoon. Sooyoon, please raise your hand.

Sooyoon's POV

I raised my hand and he walked towards me. When he sat down, I looked away. Why am I being like this?! Its just a boy! Nothing's good about boys!! Get your act together!!!

I took a deep breath in and sat up straighter. I glanced at him and noticed him staring at me. My face heated up and I quickly turned my attention to the board.

-----------------------

The bell finally rang for lunch and I quickly gathered my books together. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned.

"Um, can I help you?" I asked nervously.

V: Well, since I'm new here, can you please show me around and help me get to my classes??

I gulped. "Um, sure I guess.. I mean, let me see your schedule." He handed to me the crinkled paper. Ughh.. Boys... My eyes widened.

"Well, since you have most classes with me, I suppose I can help you..." He smiled.

V: Great! We'll get to know each other better and become friends then.. I mean, if that's ok with you I guess...

I smiled. "Its fine. It'll be nice to have a new friend. Let's go eat lunch before we miss it." He chuckled and nodded.

V's POV

This so called "school" wasn't half bad. I mean, I guess the classes are boring but the extra curricular classes were ok.

Or maybe it's because of Sooyoon. She's really nice and I really like her company. Wait, what am I saying?? I must be sick...

Jungkook: Earth to Taehyung!!!

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him. "Sorry..." I mumbled.

Jungkook: You didn't even listen to me, did you?

I smiled sheepishly. "Mianae..."

Jungkook: Ahhh.... I know what you're thinking about. You're thinking about that girl, Sooyoon, aren't you?

He smirked and punched my arm playfully. "Yah, we're just friends!!" I defended.

Jungkook: Uh huh.. That's what they all say. But anyway, that's the first level to get a girl.

I rose an eyebrow. "And how would a maknae like you know all this?" I asked. He shrugged and chuckled.

Jungkook: Jimin-hyung is an influence I guess.. I mean, to me he is...

I chuckled and shook my head. This boy...

Sooyoon's POV

I closed the front door behind me and walked inside towards the kitchen to make a snack. There was a loud noise coming from the basement door, so I decided to go check it out. When I opened the door, I stood there and watched my parents argue. "Heejul, why can't you just quit the damn job already?!" my mom exclaimed. "You need to worry about your family more than your stupid aliens!! Stop your obsession already and help around the house!" My dad sighed and put an object aside. "Honey, it's not like that!! I help you and the kids in anyway that I can. This is my job, I have to do my job in order to get paid!!" he shot back.

"Even so, your job pays very little and it's not enough to pay the bills, let alone buy food for the family! Instead of worrying about what's not real, worry about your family!" she cried. "Do you know many nights I cry by myself in bed while you're down in the basement trying to solve  a 'puzzle'?? You wouldn't because you care too much about what's not there!! Do you know how hard it is to go outside of this house and accept the fact that people say that your husband's a crazy old lunatic because he believes in childish things?? Tell me, Heejul, DO YOU?!?!?!?" she yelled as she hit my father's chest while sobbing.

"Raeim-ah, I'm sorry.. If you had told me about what you were feeling-"

"YOU WOULDN'T HAVE CARED EVEN IF I TOLD YOU ANYWAYS!!! The kids and I have to suffer because of you're obsession, and I will not let that happen anymore!" She looked through her purse and pulled out a piece of paper. "W-what is this??" my dad asked as he looked at my mother sorrowfully. "What do you think it is??" she said. "If you can't stop your obsession here, then I want a divorce." My eyes widened as I stumbled back, tears brimmed and ready to flow.

"Raeim, you can't be serious..." my dad sighed out. "It's either the kids and I, or your love for extraterrestrial beings. The choice is yours." she replied as she crosses her arms against her chest. My dad pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. "I can't... This is my job... My interest.... What I love doing.." his voice low and slightly cracking. "Does that mean that we mean absolutely nothing to you? Is this what you're choosing??" she demanded.

"Raeim, I'm sorry... Even with this job, I care about the kids and you a lot... Don't put these false words in my mouth" he stated. "Then it's done. The kids and I will be gone by dawn for the airport." She turns to leave, but my dad quickly grabs her wrist. "Wait... Please let one or two of them stay with me..." My mom turned around and looked at him bitterly. "Why would I do that?? Hmm??? So you can continue neglecting my children even more?!" she spat.

"Please... If everything I love will disappear, can't I have just a tiny part of my family??" he cried. Rivers were already forming on my cheeks and dripping on my feet. I slowly walked up to my room and closed my bedroom door quietly. My bed engulfed my body into the soft mattress. I pulled my blanket up to my cheeks and silently cried myself to sleep.
