IT'S OKAY

CHAPTER 23

My blood went cold as I looked at the caller's ID, my bad fell from my hand

I slowly walked towards her phone, and picked it up gently as if the phone was going to explain any moment from now

"Sorry, I couldn't remember where I kept it. I think I'm getting old, I keep for..." my mom trailed off when she saw the look I had on my face

She looked at her phone in my hands

"What wrong?" she asked

"Choi Hyun Tae" I said, shivering as the name came out my lips

I saw her face turn pale

"Soo Jo..."

"Who's this?" I asked waving the phone

"Soo J..."

"It's not who I think it is, right?" I asked

"Soo Joon-ah"

"Daedab hae!" answer me I screamed

"Who, in the world, is this?" I asked again, trying to be calm

"Is it who I think it is?"

"Ani, it's not" no she replied

"Omma" mom...

"It's not him. Jinjja. Believe me" really she pleaded

I reluctantly held the phone towards her, and she came to take it

"I'm going to school" I said as I picked up my bag

I stopped in front of the door, and turned back to her

"I'm going to really you, mom. And I really hope you're telling me the truth" I said and left, not waiting to see if she had any reaction to give

^^^^^

"Boo!"

I screamed and jumped giving an uppercut to the perpetrator

"Yo, girl. Did you become a boxer in your dream or what?" Ji Sung asked rubbing his chin, with a sour look on his face

"Well, did you become deaf in your dream or what? I've told you not to creep behind me again" I defended, balancing my bag back on my shoulders

"Ouch" he said, ignoring what I said

Instead, he rubbed his chin

"Baine. Does it hurt a lot?" sorry I asked which touching his chin tentatively

While I was being apologetic, he suddenly held me in an loose head lock while ruffling my hair

"Ya! Ya, stop it. Juggo sipeo?" hey! hey... do you want to die?

I struggled until I freed myself

"Michyeoss-eo? Michyeoss-eo?" are you nuts? are you nuts? I repeated while hitting him

He held my hand

"Noh-a. How dare you put me in an head lock? Anh noh-a?" let go. aren't you letting go? I asked trying to free myself

"Is something going on?" Tae Woong asked as he walked towards us

I glared at Ji Sung one more time and ripped my hand from him

"Ani. Let's go" no I said and walked with him to class, ignoring Ji Sung

Sometime during class, a text notification came into my phone

It was from Ji Sung, so I ignored it still upset with him, but I picked it up with a scowl after the third ding

'Is everything okay?' he asked
