Perfect World

Chapter 6

Chaeyoung POV

I see Mina touched Sana's hand lightly getting her attention.

"Where's Momo?" She asked.

"I have no clue. I texted her but she hasn't responded. She never ignore my message before. And mostly she never said no to food. Have you noticed that she's been acting a bit weird lately? Or its just me noticed about it?" Sana asked confusingly.

Mina just nodded while taking a sip of her water. Momo must be their close friend. Whatever. Now, what I care is the muffin in front of me. I think the coast is clear for me to eat my muffin now. Slowly I bringing the fork up to my mouth but having it knocked off the silverware. This dumbass decides to scoot Mina over making me scoot over into the rest of the girl.

What the hell? Can I just eat my muffin in peace? And this is a bakery for crying out loud! Its supposed to be a quiet area, not a hangout! Hufff! I dropped my fork not taking a bite and frowning. Overhearing their conversation, the douche was named Bambam. Should have known he was our quarterback. Of course he would be here. Everyone knows he likes our Mina. Wait? Our Mina? I could said, no one seems to notice me yet, thank god but I can't get out or excuse myself to bathroom. Because I'm stuck in the middle of the booth.

"Hey, Mina. Who's the girl next to you?" Bambam asked.

Great! Now, everyone have their eyes on me.

"Oh! I almost forgot. I'm sorry. Okay, everyone! This is Chaeyoung! She's my friend and I met her at the library." Mina announced and smile sweetly.

Another great! Someone please knock me out of my misery. Some girls smiled and some others were giving me up and down looks as if I looked like a broken toy and maybe their are not wrong. Bambam smirked and introduced himself. To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable and sweaty even right now. I have to get out from here now. I can't. I leaned over to Mina.

"Hey, uh- its hmm, getting late. And I really think I should be heading home. I'm sorry." I whispered to her.

All she did was was a smile and nodded. Before she got up, she looked down at the plate and saw that my half of the muffin and she frowned. Oh god! Did I make her feel bad? I didn't mean to! Great Chaeyoung! Just make everyone feel disappointed in you. She got up with the plate and brought it up to the cashier.

"Hi! May I have one plastic container to go?" She asked the cashier.

"Here you go and come again!" The man responded back smiling.

She carefully out the muffin in and handed it to me. I tilt my head in confused but take it anyway.

"Ready to go?" She smiled lightly.

I nodded and we both headed out. I hopped in her passenger seat and she got into the drive seat. Then, we drove back to the school in silently. No music, no talking. The air was thick and dead silent as if everything was out of place. The car blocked out the small minor details of noise so we couldn't hear the wind blowing against the car or the car speeding up friction against the ground. My palms were getting sweaty and I was getting sleepy. Stopping at the stoplight before making a turn to school, she finally open her mouths to speak something.

"Hey. I know you didn't talk much back there and some of my friends don't know you.." she start.

"So, how about you come to Bambam's pool party tomorrow? I will introduce you to some of my friends and I can even pick you up." She add letting out air as if she was holding it in the whole time.

I was quiet until she pulled up next to my car. I haven't given her an answer yet. We just sat there in her car with the engine still on.

"Hmm, so... is that a yes or no?" She asked a bit nervous.

Shit Chaeyoung! Talk you idiot! Stop making her wait! What am I even thinking about?

I shook my head unconsciously.

"Hmm, no?" She asked sound a bit disappointed.

Huh? I look at her confused. Oh no! Shit!

"No no no. I mean Yes." I blurted out.

"So, it a no or yes?" She asked confused.

"Yes!" I blurted out again.

She then gave me and amused look and her face brought excitement.

"Okay! I will pick you up at eleven in the morning sharp and early. Be ready!" She said in excited.

I just nodded slowly trying to understand what have I done. She then wave at me and sped away slowly. Oh no! Again, what have I done? Really Chaeyoung? You want to socialise? What happen to your list? What did I just do?

..............................

After having a totally tired out day, I finally made it home. My mind still confused and frustrated right now. Why the fuck did I say yes early? That make me have to get up early, find an outfit and have my anxiety shoot through the roof. I sign as I pulled into the garage and I see my father's car already in there. So, I parked outside behind him. My anxiety already crawling inside me as I see his car. Oh God! Please, not tonight. I keep praying in silent as I go inside and hang my keys up on the rack, making it have a chiming noise of keys clattering against each other. Turning around the corner I see the television was on and next to the couch were bottles of beer.

FUCK!

He's drunk again. I walked slowly past the couch trying to make my way up to the stairs. All of the sudden, I hear and smelt this wrenching smell of alcohol. I look down on the couch and see my dad already passed out. Thank god! But I didn't stop pray silently. I have to be quiet. I slowly make my way upstairs, each foot softly touching, each step I take it trying not to make any creaking noises. Soon enough I already getting halfway up the stairs , I heard the sound of television was off. I slowly turn my head around and I see him at the bottom of the stair. Standing there and look at me furiously.

FUCK!

"Come here." He said demanding.

I'm froze. I felt my leg glue in at the stair. I didn't move.

"I said come here!" He yelled this time with a crack voice.

I flinched.

A shot of fear went through my spine. My heartbeat messed. I slowly made my way down the stairs, holding my breath. I came down to the second stipend and stopped. I can smell the grease from his hair, the drool from his mouth and last not but least the alcohol. I swallowed nothing but a dry mouth.

- Abused warning -

"Where the hell have you been?!" He asked raised his voice.

Again, I flinched.

"I-I was out." I tripped over my own words.

"I can't hear you!" He said still the same volume and voice.

"I-I said I was out." I kept muttering.

He then stepped on the first step and got close to my face. I stood there and my lip quivered releasing air from holding it in. By the time, I could take another breath I felt hot stinging slap on my right cheek. The slap making me fall against the railing. I brought my hand up to my face and held it. I closed my eyes for a second and I felt in the air. He tripped me. I fall and hit the hard wooden ground and let out yelp.

"Stop screaming! You deserved this! I told you, don't go anywhere without my permission! You bitch! Don't you get it?!" He yelled.

Then, I felt hard kick at my stomach. Again and again. I gasp and suck in breath to hold. Every kick I receive, I keep saying in my mind..

This isn't him.

This isn't him.

This isn't him.

And every kick he gave make me felt numb. Its hurt. So much. I wonder how much till I can take it. Soon enough, all I can see is dark.

-Oh my baby beast 🤬🤬😭😭-
