Beautiful Pain (True Beauty Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

I entered the school with colorful poster hanging on the school board. Glancing at it, I realized it's the school festival. The poster and open booth  have turned this place lively. No wonder why students runs back and forth. After all we have been studying endlessly.

I could really use a break.

"Hey!" My shoulder was bumped by a girl who rushed out in a hurried. Joo-Kyung tried to chase her from behind.

"What's wrong?" She stopped running and mouthed the one word that had me chasing with her.

Gowoon stood at an empty classroom while. crying her heart out. Tears smeared her cheek. Joo-Kyung told me people were making fun of her make up.

It's cruel how they laugh at her but with our help it was about to change. Joo-Kyung helped with the make up, while I give her positive words that help me before the stage.

When we went out and sat on the audience seat, everybody was surprised when Gowoon stood in the middle of the stage. Some students couldn't recognize her and it makes me rolled my eyes. As she starts to sing, her soft melodious voice has me swaying my head left and right. Once she finished everybody clapped in amazement. I was one of them, giving my biggest clap for her.

"Chae-Rin, Joo-Kyung!" I heard Gowoon voice as she comes up to us. The smile she had makes us happy. She thanked us severally before Seo-Jun appeared next to her.

"That was amazing Gowoon. I knew my sister could do it!" He said like a proud brother.

"Sister?!" Joo-Kyung, on the other hand, was shock with the revelation. My mind was occupied with things which make me forgot to tell her that piece of information. Seo-Joon looked at us and surprise written on his face. Before we could say anything, Soo-A pulled us away leaving the two siblings together.

I stand on the side line with the rest of the students as the basketball competition start. Screaming my lung out, Suho came out. Just because he likes my friend that doesn't mean I can't support him. He glances at me and smiles gently before going to his position.

While on the other hand, I scream Seo-Jun name and tell him if he loses dinner is on him. The startle guy look at me in dissolute but tried to focus. Two of this people are the star player, and I was excited because of their skill. As time went by Seo-Joon got his shot blocked by Suho.

Causing Seo-Joon to lose.

Once the game finished. We went to the outdoor concert as the last event. Sitting next to Soo-Jin I glance where Seo-Joon and Suho are. However, my heart trembles hearing thesong that played out in sudden.

It was Seo-Yeon song. His voice that I can't hear anymore sings beautifully causing my heart to whimper. When I diverted my eyes, I saw a stoic Suho on the corner and tears slipped out from his eyes. I saw Joo-Kyung trying to stand up, but I walked up to him because Joo-Kyung wouldn't understand him like I do.

"Let's go?" Holding my hand toward Suho, he grabbed it, and we make a way out of the place so that he won't be haunted anymore. At the hallway, I let him gulf me in a hug. His eyes that cry continuously makes me feel the sadness together.

Seo-Yeon was the first guy who became my friend. He always gives me advice, despite how hurting he was in the inside. It makes me angry how I couldn't see past through him.

"It'll be alright Suho.." He holds my waist tightly while I rubbed his back in comfort. I hated seeing Suho like this, the guy I love crying his heart out.

When he stopped his weep, we went out of school hand in hand. I knew I shouldn't bring him home, so we went to the only place that could bring closure for both of us.

Standing on top of the rooftop where Seo-Yeon died, I saw Suho expression changed into sadness. There was one last thing I never mentioned to him.

"Before Seo-Yeon died, we spoke to each other." I started making his eyes look at me with anticipation.

Feeling the gentle breeze on my body, I closed my eyes. I could feel sunlight burning my face the more I stay here. Seo-Yeon stood beside me but he had a smile on his face.

"Chae-Rin, does Suho and Seo-Jun smiles around you?" He asked a bizarre question that makes me chuckled. Leaning against the metal rail, I stared at him.

"What are you saying? They always smile around you too."

"I know but I'm asking when there is the three of you." I stare at Seo-Yeon before speaking kindly to him.

"Of course." That was the definite answer that I could give him.

"I hope they will always smiles and laugh with each other." I hummed in agreement still unsure of what he meant. The question was out of blues but he was so sure in wanting to know. If only I realized it earlier maybe Seo-Yeon would be here.

"I'm sorry Suho. I'm such a bad friend. I should have known what he meant." I said trying to control the tears that pour out of my eyes. Thinking of the friend we lost Suho could only look at the sky.

"How could I smile without you? Seo-Joon won't even look at me in the eye anymore." He said, trying to hold hisself at the rooftop where Seo-Yeon fall to his death. Suho blame his self for not picking up his last call. And I was in guilt for not trying to reach out for Seo-Yeon.

We stood here, with great sadness. Mourning over his lost. But we both knew we must move on, Seo-Yeon would want that as well.
