Say It Again

YEJI POV:

As I slowly sneaked out of the house through the window, "ouch!" I slowly said in pain as I had a hard fall.

I soon kept getting calls from Ryujin but, I didn't answer any of them. I walked to the nearest convenience store and bought 3 bottles of soju. I payed for the soju and headed out.

I got endless calls from Ryujin but ignored all of them. I headed to the seating spots outside the store and sat down.

I gulped down one of the bottles of soju, then soon gulped down the other bottles. After about 11 minutes the soju stared to kick in. My vision got a bit blurry.

I got a message from Ryujin saying, "Hwang fucking Yeji, where the hell are you?! Answer my calls, I'm worried about you.."

She texted me again, "I know you're reading this so answer my calls."

She then called after sending the messages but, this time I answered.

"FINALLY YOU ANSWERED! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" She yelled through the phone.

She changed the call to facetime. She put the phone closer to her face and squinted.
"ARE YOU OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE? Ryujin screamed as she scratched her head.

"Ryujin, my head hurts.." I responded.

"Tell me where you are Yeji, I'm going to pick you up."

"I'm at the convenience store near our house." I told her. "Hurry uuuppppp!"

A couple minutes later a car pulls up, the window rolled down. It was Ryujin, "Get in, Hwang Yeji.."

As I stood up and walked to the car I was wobbling and went tumbling down.

"Woah, are you okay?" Ryujin blurted out.

Ryujin then looked at the table I was sitting at and saw three empty bottles of soju. "Hwang Yeji, have you been DRINKING?!"

"Maybeehsghdg" I said as I stood up wobbling.

Ryujin slapped her forehead and scratched her head. "Hurry up and get in."

As I got in I buckled my seatbelt and Ryujin started to drive back to the house.

We got in the house and I noticed Ryujin's serious face.

The soju started to kick in more and I soon couldn't control my words.

"Ryujin, I hate you." I said out loud. "I hate you and I love you at the same time." "Please stop worrying about me, I can take care of myself." "I don't think I can take this anymore, all this stress, pain, and because of my stupid amnesia I don't remember anything.." "I hate myself..." " I'm sick of this.. Let's end this." I finally blurted out all the things I kept inside of me as I fell to the floor crying.

"Yeji, your drunk.." Ryujin told me. "You don't mean it right.." "YEJI ANSWER ME! Tell me your lying, tell me your not giving up!"

"Ryujin I- I'm sorry.." I stuttered.

Ryujin opened the door and left. I stared at the door with tears falling quickly from my eyes. I thought about what I said and I soon regretted it.

I went to bed early trying to forget about all of this.

I woke up early at 7:43 am. I checked my phone but Ryujin hasn't texted me at all. But I got a text from Heeseung saying, "Yeji, so you finally ended it with Ryujin.."

I then remembered I had to make an artwork and it was due tomorrow. I panicked, I grabbed a piece of paper and started drawing the first paper I didn't like so I ripped it. The same process repeated me drawing, not liking it so I rip it.

Until after almost the whole day it took 13 hours to get the perfect one. I stared into it and I knew it was the one. I layed back on the chair and relaxed.

I ordered some food then ate while staring at Ryujin's number. After I finished eating I changed my clothes and went to sleep.

I woke up at 8:26, I had 5 hours until I had to show my artwork. I showered and ate leftovers from last night.

After a couple minutes I got a message from Yuna saying, "Yeji come here quick! Ryujin won't eat, she's starving herself!" "Here's the address: 223 (something something)."

I quickly got in my car and drive to the address. Gaurds were at the gate but Yuna came running out of the house, "she's my friend, you can let her in."

The gaurds looked at Yuna and nodded.

I quickly ran inside the the house and saw Ryujin on the couch laying down. "RYUJIN!" I yelled out.

Ryujin look and me and out gazes met with eachother. She stood up and walked to me and hugged me. I pulled away from her and stared into her eyes.

"Ryujin why aren't you eating?" I asked her in a serious tone.

She stared into the floor and ignored my question. I placed my hands on her cheeks, "Answer me Shin Ryujin."

Ryujin pouted, "no." She whispered.

Her stomach growls and Ryujin placed her hand on her stomach.

I turned to Yuna and asked her, "why is she acting like this?"

Yuna responsed scratching her head, "she's drunk.."

"I knew it.." I thought to myself.

I faced Ryujin again until I got a message. It was from Ms. Myoui saying, "Yeji the artwork is due today and I will need them. If you don't have or bring them there will be consequences."

"Oh shit." I said out loud.

"What's wrong light fury?" Ryujin asked me.

I checked the time and it was 1:18, I had 8 minutes to give Ms. Myoui the art piece.

"I'm sorry Ryujin, I have to go." I responded to her.

Pulled away from Ryujin and walked to the door. I felt my wrist being grabbed. I turned around and Ryujin was gripping onto my wrist, "Yeji don't leave me.." Ryujin stared into my eyes and started to tear up.

I stared into her eyes and I felt guilty. "Ryujin I'm sorry for what I said before, I did mean all of it but not in a mean way. I love you with all my heart and I regret saying that but, just know that I'm sorry. I need to go so please let go." I blurted out tearing up a little bit.

She loosened her grip on my wrist and I walked out the door. I looked back behind me and Ryujin was smiling but crying.

"I forgive you my light fury, I already forgave you when I left that day."
