One-Sided Love [MICHAENG]

Chapter 3

Mina's pov

Streaks of light strike my eyes in the morning. Chirping birds that felt music to my ears greeted me. I woke up feeling a dizzy. Yeah I slept around 3 am because I procrastinated for 3 days straight so here I am doing it on the last minute.

I'm not really feeling well so I decided to not go to school, but I need the permission of my mom for this. I only have a mom. My dad left us when I was just a baby.

I felt sorry for my mom but at the same time I don't. I have a lot of secrets and most of them are painful. I never tell them to anyone even to my closest friend, Chaeyoung.

I got up, took a shower, get dressed, and drove to my mom's house. We live separately because I can't stand being in the same roof as her.

Every time I see her, my heart breaks and also it's not like she wants to see me also so why would I bother to do so? I entered my mom's apartment. I found her cooking in the kitchen.

"I'm not going to school today."

"Oh my gosh! You startled me!"

"Yeah right, well just to let you know, I'm not feeling well so I decided not to go to school today."

My mom then bring her hand to my forehead to check my temperature. I was shocked. My mom isn't the kind of person to care for me. She didn't even worry about me or get curious about my whereabouts.

"You are not that hot, you can manage to go to school. You know how important school is. You have to graduate with a good grade so you can be successful in the future. Your grades this semester is not good so you better catch up do you get me?"

"As expected you will say that. I just came here for nothing. My condition just got worse because of you."

I walked out of her apartment while trying to hold my tears. I'm always used to this yet it still hurt me. I drove to the park near to my apartment where I always go to whenever I want to be alone. I sat on the swing and let the wind hug me.

"When will my day get better? Will I ever feel happy?"

I have a lot of questions. I'm always trying to find the answer for them, but I just can't. I have a lot of pain in my heart. I grew up dealing all of my problems alone. I grew up not feeling loved. I grew up not being cared of yet here I am being a friend to anyone who needs someone to lean on.

I am always there for my friends and to anyone who needed help. I  cheer them up, I give them advice, I lend them my time… but when I am the one who is on their shoes, no one is there for me. I am there for everyone but no one is there for me.

Maybe this is my destiny. Being alone and hurt till the day I die. I just have to accept the fact that this life of mine won't get any better. After 30 minutes, I drove to my university since I don't have any choice but to go.

Time passed but I can't really focus. Other than my problems with my mom, I also have one big problem with my best friend, Chaeyoung.

I didn't eat lunch during break time instead, I took a rest in the classroom cause I'm feeling really sick right now. It feels like anytime I'm about to puke. I just want this day to end.

After my school ended, I drove to the nearest pharmacy to buy some medicine. Unfortunately, for me to be able to take this medicine, my stomach should be full so I have no choice but to eat. I'm not in a good state to cook so I just went to Mcdonalds to eat something.

I ordered chicken with rice, fries, sundae, and a coke. Well I need to eat a lot so let me take this chance to eat a lot of good foods! Hehehehe.

After eating, I immediately took my medicine cause I really want this sickness to go away. Being sick sucks you know. I can't play games because of my head ache that's why I need to get better fast!

I still don't want to go home so I just stroll around the area to clear my mind and get some fresh air. A sick person going at Mcdonalds and strolling around, yeah that's me :))

While walking there is just one thing I was thinking of… Chaeyoung

Should I tell her? No our friendship is more important. But I'm hurting because of this… arghh I don't know let's not think about it and go home.

I walked to my apartment and as I went to the kitchen there is glass in the counter. I didn't touch anything here in the morning but why is there a glass here? Weird. I then walked upstairs but before I reach my room, I noticed that my door is opened.

What the hell? I remembered closing my room. No way… am I being robbed?!?! Or worst a ghost is playing with me?!?!?!

I quietly walked back to the kitchen and get a pan as a weapon. I don't have any knife so yeah I have no choice. I slowly and carefully went upstairs so that ghost or robber won't notice me.

I slowly opened my door and shout while bringing the pan in the air and hit whoever I'll see but then… "GO AWAY YOU-" my eyes widened when I realized who is the person in my room.

Son Chaeyoung, my one sided love.
