IT'S OKAY

CHAPTER 26

"Om...!" mo...! I was about to call her when the word left my mouth

I keys and bag fell to the floor, making her turned her head to my direction

Her eyes widened to the size of saucers, her face pale with shock and fear

"Soo Joon-ah" she said

"What is going on here?" I asked, trying to be as calm as possible

"Soo Joon-ah"

She took a step forward, and I took one back

"Nega dodaeche museun il-iya go?!" I said, what is going on here I asked again, my voice a bit higher

"Soo Joon-ah" she called again

"Daedab hae!!" answer me I shouted

"What... what... what..."

I tried to look for what to say, but I was helpless

"Jinjeonghae. Huh? Let me explain" calm down my mom tried to reason with me

"Jinjeonghae? Do you think I can possibly calm down right now? When I can clearly see him? Explain? Explain what? The reason why you brought him here? Why you even meet him in the first place?" calm down I asked, anger raising within me

"It's not like that" she said

"Oh, really. I guess he just found his way here then. Tell me, did he teleport or something?"

I laughed a bitter laugh

She opened her mouth, but I raised my hand stopping her short

"You know what? Just forget it" I said, and turned

"Soo..."

I made a sharp turn to him

"If you even think of saying my name with that mouth of yours, I'll make sure you never ever speak again" I said, and immediately left

I decided not to act on my anger

^^^^^

"AH!!!" I screamed as I practically flew down the rode not caring about anything else, not even the curb I was driving head first into. I continued speeding, but managed to jam the break educing the impact of the hit to my car. I let my head rest against the steering wheel for a while. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I was sure my car was in a bad shape, but I couldn't bother to care

I could feeling blood trickling down my face but I didn't care.

I glanced towards my phone when it rand, but saw my mom as the caller ID. I leaned against the car seat and stayed like that for some while

I closed my eyes exhausted

I didn't know what time it was when I opened my eyes, but I knew that it was already night time as it was dark. I also knew that my phone had died had it was the first snow of the year

I started to laugh. I didn't know what, how, or why I was laughing. I was just laughing

With the remaining fuel left in the car, and energy, power left in me, I drove to Ji Sung house

The security man walked up to my window

"Eotteohge dowa julkkayo?" how can I help you? he asked

I held my tongue from saying anything nasty. Instead I forced a smile, and

"I'm here to see Ji Sung" I said

You would think he had become accustomed to seeing my face, but no way

He went into his station, then lifted the bar

I sent another forced smile his way and drove off

I was about to knock on his door when Ji Sung opened the door

His eyes widened in surprised when he saw my face

"Choi Soo Joon, what in the world happened to you?" he asked, worry and concern laced into his voice

I didn't say anything or move for a while. Then I hugged him

He paused for a second before also wrapping his arms around me

"What happened?" he asked

I don't know if it was because he asked me that question, or the way his voice sounded, or something else, but I started crying

"Ya, wae geurae?" hey, what wrong? he asked

I didn't, couldn't say anything

He someone knew that, then started stroking my bag

"Gwaenchanh-a. Gwaenchanh-a" it's okay. it's okay he repeated until I managed to calm down

"Gwaenchanhji anh-a" it's not okay I said when I managed to calm down, for now

"Why don't we go in first? Okay?" he suggested

I nodded my head in agreement, wiping my tears away

He held my hand and walked me in

"I'll make us some tea" he said

"How does calming tea sound to you?" he asked

I shrugged

"I'll be right back" he said

While the water was boiling, nobody said anything. He was behind he counter, while I was on the counter, my phone charging beside me

I was feeling embarrassed for crying in front of him, but it wasn't like today was my first time, so the embarrassment didn't really slap me in the face. Yet, I was also feeling a little, like teeny, bit better. I guess crying does help

"Here you go" he said

"Gomawo" thank you I said with a small smile

He gave me a smile back and sat down next to me on the counter

I made a mistake of sipping it too early

"Tteugeo" it's hot I said, making an attempt to fan at my tongue

"Be careful" Ji Sung warned, but it was already a bit too late for that

"Maybe you should have told me a bit early" I said with a smile

I played with the rim of my mug thinking of what to say. Or rather, where to start

"You don't have to say, or be in an hurry. If you want to talk, talk when you are ready" he said

I took my time before making up my mind to talk

I turned to Ji Sung to talk, instead I jumped at the sound of his mug breaking

"Ji Sung?" I called

His face was constricted with pain

"Ji Sung, what's wrong?" I asked

"Nothing, I'm fine"

He made to smile, but I came out as a grimace

"You are fine" I said

I stood up, but before I couldn't get him off the chair, he fell off

"Ji Sung!" I screamed

"Ya, wae geurae?" hey, what's wrong? I asked getting scared

There was no cause of any doubt anymore. He was clearly not fine

"I'm calling an ambulance" I said

He cover my hands that held my phone, but before he could say anything, he passed out
