Crime || P.sh

Chapter 5

✧

I stood infront of our house, how am i supposed to tell this to my parents... They'll be furious

Mostly mom, she focuses on my academics than my health so-

I think it's much more better to live under han bridge rather than hearing mom and dad's disappoinment on me

That Park Sunghoon guy is acting weird lately, hope he doesn't become my classmate next school year cause he will be a distraction

As for that jacket of his, i don't know where did i put it. I think i let my mom cut it to pieces for rugs. Uh i think that's not that mean, i guess-

"Kim Seohyun" The voice of my mother send chills to my spine, i look over her, she's at the balcony sipping coffee. Shit, how long has she been there?

"Aren't you coming in to show your grades?" She smiled slightly but i felt she's expecting that i failed

I sighed before getting, if I don't get in right now she might whoop my ass already

✧

"What is this?" She slaps my cheek, yep, expected this. "What have you been doing these days? How can't you have stable grades like siho??" There she is again with the whole how can't you, comparisons

I hate this, i hate everything. "Are you just gonna cry there, huh? Are you??" She shakes my shoulders and looks at me with angry eyes

I stared at her coldly as my tears started to burst out of my eyes. Everything is coming to me one by one, i can't take it anymore

I need help

Next Week

"Seohyun, where are you going?" Dad asked, darn it. I thought sneaking would help me get out of here. He puts down the plate to the drawer and crossed his arms looking at me

"I'm going out for fresh air" i smiled that may convinced him, "Shouldn't you be studying?" He questions

"Dad, it's vacation month, let me clear my mind first before going back to that hell place" i whined a little

"Ok, but I'm counting on you" He eyed at me, "I don't like you and your mother fighting, neither want you to fail" i smiled at his statement and ran outside

Yes, it's a great success! Celebrating my brother's birthday is a go!

"What? What do you mean, you delivered the cake to my house???" The furious of mine became bigger knowing that the delivery man put the cake to my house

"Ma'am I'm so sorry-"

I declined the call and rubbed my forehead, I'm so doomed

I ran back to the house. I hesitantly opened the gate. I was hoping mom and dad didn't notice or saw the cake outside the door but i guess i was wrong

They were waiting me already, their Arms crossed and stern expression

"Got some explaining to do?" Dad raises his eyebrow, i sighed. "I just want to celebrate, seokyong's birthday..." I mumbled and brushed my shoe on the ground

"You're being obsessed about him, seohyun" mom huffs, "it's not like I'm moving on about him unlike you two" i glared at them

"Please Seohyun, let's not make an argument right now-"

"No, you're not making me move on, you're making me forget him just like what you two did!" I corrected my sentence earlier. I took the cake from dad's hands and was about to leave

"Don't you dare take another step out, young lady. Or else you won't be sleeping here tonight" Mom threatened yet i didn't care

This cruel world is cruel enough for me, at least take risks. I'm with or against your will parents

I'm here at a convenient store outside, there were fewer people as i expected but it's great, I guess i can sing happy birthday here

I could hear thunder growl from the skies telling it's almost gonna be a rainy and cold night. Come to think of it, i still don't know where should i stay for tonight...

I hesitated to text siho, well i did, but deleted afterwards, he hasn't seen yet and that's a good thing

I opened the box cover and light it up with a lighter, the pink candle shined and started to melt

Thunder accompanied me as i sing softly to myself,

"Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday dear b-brother....

Ha... Happy birthday to you...."

Water droplets fall to the sky meaning it is officially raining now. Tears form into my eyes and i began to sob, I'm so helpless

"I.... I miss you..." I sniffled and looked to the cake happy birthday Seokyong

Maybe they're right, i should move on, or shouldn't? There are only two options yet it felt so hard to the heart and mind

The two options are like solving math problems with multiple choices. Your answer is 17 but there is no 17 in the choices so your options are either, 18 or 19

Argh, I don't know what am i thinking anymore

"You'll get a cold if you continue to stay here and cry"
