the neighbor (Twice Jihyo gxg)

Chapter 28

I've been awake for a few minutes now, just laying in bed in my dark room. I couldn't get up. I tried and the room just felt like it was moving, so I decided not to bother getting up. It was Saturday anyway.

"Don't tell me you're hungover to!?" Tiffany yelled as she switched my lights on. My eyes burned and I hid under the covers. "You both are my sisters and I love you, but this is to much!" She screamed and yanked the blanket away from me.

"Tiffany! Stop being like that!" I whined and curled into a ball. Siyeon whining beside me.

"I need to throw up." I mumbled and rushed out of bed and towards my bathroom. This was the ugliest feeling ever.

"Thats what you get!" I heard Tiffany yell at me. "And you! You're her older sister! Why did you let her drink so much!? Weren't you keeping an eye on her!?" Before heading into the toilet, I can see Siyeon rubbing her head.

"She isn't a little kid anymore Tiff. Plus she needed the time out. I know she won't tell us anything, but you can tell she's going through something. She needs to let loose once in awhile. One night isn't going to harm anyone." Siyeon defended me and I smiled. I owe her.

"You ok in there buddy?" I didn't feel like looking at who was talking even though I knew the voice anywhere. My eyes felt heavy and all I felt like doing was puking. So I sat on the floor hovering over my toilet as Suho rubbed my back. "I found your keys and went to get your car. You don't have to worry." I threw him a thumbs up as I heaved again.

"She needs to eat something!" Siyeon yelled. "And medicine. I need medicine."

"Tiff don't be to hard on them. They were just having fun." I smiled at Suho. "Don't forget how much fun you had in high school." Tiffany snapped a look at Suho and he shrugged shortly.

Once I was done puking, I grabbed my sunglasses from my bed putting them on, and then laying beside Siyeon who was sprawled out on my bed. Tiffany was seated on the edge and Suho was behind her.

"Yoongi would have loved to see this!?" Siyeon chuckled running her fingers through her hair.

"Do you guys remember what happened?" Tiffany asked. I looked around the room trying to remember last night, but nothing clicked.

"I remember getting there." Siyeon mumbled.

"I remember talking to Yerin. After that it's just a blur." Tiffany ran her fingers through her hair and shook her head.

"You both are just lucky mom isn't home." We smiled knowing Tiffany wasn't going to tell her. "I'll go make breakfast." She stood up from the bed and took Suho's hand, and left the room. I turned over and looked at Siyeon who had her shirt over her eyes.

"It's my turn to throw up." She mumbled and stood on her feet rushing over to my restroom.

Siyeon and I stood in my bed for a few more hours till we decided to get out of my room. I was still feel nauseous but I threw up so much, that now I'm hungry. I didn't even eat breakfast, one smell and I was running towards the bathroom.

"Chaeyoung came over to see you. I told her you were still asleep. Go see if she's ok." Tiffany spoke as she sat on the couch beside me.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She shrugged and I raced up stairs to get ready. I went over to Chaeng's place and knocked. I don't usually knock, but I didn't know how her mood was. If she was pissed at me or what.

"You finally show up!" She yelled opening her door wider. "You know, I could have called the police." I rolled my eyes and hugged her. "I hope that hangover hurts the hell out of you." She mumbled and hugged me back tighter. "What happened? You were supposed to go bowling."

"I couldn't do it Chaeyoung." I whispered and looked out her living room window and towards Jihyo's house.

"Is that why you were with Yerin last night? Jihyo said she went over to see if you were ok and she found you with Yerin having a moment in the front yard." I tilted my head in confusion.

"I had a moment with Yerin?" I asked. Chaeyoung shrugged sitting on the couch and grabbing her TV remote. "I don't remember much. How's Jihyo?"

"You should have seen how pissed she was, but then she got really worried. So we left bowling early to go see if you were home." My heart aches at the fact that she left bowling early just to see if I was alright. But she shouldn't care.

"Then what happened?" I sat beside her.

"Suho answered the door saying you weren't home but at a party." I nodded and sighed. "Jihyo didn't want to go look for you, so we decided to stay with her in her room. We left a few hours later. After that I don't know."

I didn't know what to say to Chaeyoung after that. I felt so bad and yet so angry. Jihyo didn't have to stop her plans because of me. She had changed the original plans anyway.

When night fell i was tempted to go climb Jihyo's window. Just to see if she was ok, but I decided not to. I didn't want to make this harder on me. I had to stay away from her. Even though every time I close my eyes, I see her smiling at me. This was definitely going to be hard.

"And no ones home." I sighed as I read a note Tiffany had left on the railing of the stairs. "One night isn't going to kill me." I mumbled and walked up the stairs.

My room was dark but I can clearly see in the moon light that my window was open. I switched the light switch on and seen Jihyo sitting at my desk. She half smiled and did a small wave before standing up.

"Hey." She spoke. I walked over to my window and shut it, making sure that she saw I locked it.

"Hi." She stared at the window and then back at me. "Do you need anything?" I asked her.

"No." She shook her head and sat back down. I went over to my bed and sat on the by her. "I didn't go to scenic after all." She mumbled playing with her fingers.

"Why? Wasn't that your plan with your boyfriend?" She rolled her eyes at me and sighed. "Don't worry about me Jihyo. I'm not even that important to be canceling plans. You should have went to scenic."

"Yeah I should of." She mumbled. "You were to busy with kissing Yerin to even bother to answer my text or calls. I'm sorry for being your friend and worrying." She stood up.

"But you don't have to Jihyo. If me and Yerin have something, so what? You have Daniel and I'm not going to sit around and be your little toy that you play around with when you want to." I stood up walking up to her.

"So you do have something with Yerin?" She whispered and took a step back. "I don't want to keep doing this, Y/n."

"No." She stepped forward again. " If you don't want to keep doing this Jihyo, Then let's stop." I didn't want to take another step. I knew where this was going and I was scared that my feelings for her would fall deeper.

"I can't." She whispered and she walked closer to me, taking a hold of my arms. "I just want you close." She leaned her forehead against mine. Her eyes flutter close and I can tell in the tone of her voice she was hurt.

"We can't be close Jihyo. I don't want to be selfish and tell you to choose me over Daniel. I'm not like that. I'm just going to come out and say it." I said and moved away from her so I can see her better. "I like you Jihyo. I really fucking like you." I can feel my lip quiver. I had finally said it out loud and infront of her. "And I like you so much that I'm going to make your decision easier for you so you don't  have to." I can feel the tears welling up in the rims of my eyes and my vision began to blur.

"What do you mean?" She tilted her head and held me tighter. She pulled me close and rested her forehead against mine once again.

Tears fell from her eyes and this was the first I had seen her cry. I didn't like it at all. I just wanted to punch myself and kiss her, and tell her I was joking. But this was for the best. For myself, for Daniel, and for her. Even if Daniel didn't even have a clue of what was going on.

"It means I'll see you around." I mumbled cupping her cheeks and wiping away her tears with the pad of my thumbs. The sight was just killing me. Jihyo shut her eyes, and connected our lips together. They moved so well and it sadden me so much. I was going to miss this. I was going to miss her.
