Chaewon
'Reminder : Beat Eunbi-unnie tomorrow'
Why didn't she told me that me and Minju will be staying in the same room?
"Can't sleep?" she asked. I would like to thank the space between us, it's very convenient. Luckily, the bed is quite big for us.
"Yeah.. you?" how dumb am I to ask that knowing that she's not asleep yet. Why do I feel so dumb around her sometimes? "Same" she said shortly.
Once the couple left us here, awkwardness filled every corner of the room. I can't remember when did she start being this quiet around me. I'm kinda not liking this.
"You and Eunbi-unnie?.." she trails off. I gave her a hum. "You know each other?". There's a huge hint of curiosity in her tone. Why does she need to know?
"Yeah" I replied, which earned another question from her. "Really? How?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
I take back what I said earlier. I'm not liking her loud side either. She's getting weird.
"You don't have to be jealous" my mouth spit out.
I feel the bed shifts a little. She sat up, looking at me with shocked face. I could feel my lips curved up seeing her reaction. That's priceless. "What?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
She stares at me seriously. The mood flips in just a blink. She isn't playing along. My smile fell immediately as I felt her gaze changes. We stayed like that for god knows how long until she broke it, asking. "You know something, right?"
I froze.
She isn't taking her eyes off me. A part of me wants it but it's too intimidating again. Can I do what I did earlier? Ha! who am I kidding of course not.
After a couple seconds of silence, she's still eyeing me. And I felt a little uneasy under it, to be honest. There's no way I can go out in this situation.
"Yeah" I said lowly. She frowns more, nodding her head slowly before laying down again. Her back facing me.
I hate to think of it, but I feel like I have a glimpse of her story before. It must be something she don't want anyone to know. I don't know. I don't know exactly everything, only she knows and I wanted her to tell me. I can't let her go on like this. I mean, I can't just end this here. I need to dig up everything.. ok maybe not everything but whatever had happened to make her like this.
A runaway.
That shithead said she ran away from them and I don't like the idea of her running away from me too. I got to get find some more.
"You care about it so much.." I blurt out.
Frightening. This is frightening. If I scare her off again with my words- I swear to god I'm going to stop questioning her.
I saw her flinched, probably taken aback by what she have heard. She stays there, not moving an inch. I roll to my side, facing her back. Luckily, the wounds on the other way.
Is she not going to talk?
"It doesn't matter" I said then I saw her shoulder moves up, heaving a sigh. She sat up at the edge of the bed, still not facing me.
"It does, Chaewon" she shortly said before standing up and grabbing a flannel, walking across the room.
I quickly sat up, panicking with her reaction.
Fuck, did I said something wrong? Wasn't my timing wrong? Damnit.
"W-where are you going?" I ask. Making her stop on her tracks. She turn back to me, giving me a forced smile. "Just outside" she informed, pushing the door open, walking out.
