OBSESSED~GAYEON

^7^

Why? Why was Prof. Gun-il answering his mother's phone at this hour. Without thinking it twice Jooyeon finished the call. His breath started to become faster. The boy tried to think positive things, different scenarios, maybe it wasn't what he was thinking, or at least he hoped so. His thoughts were interrupted by the ringtone, it was his mother's number calling. He accepted the call after taking a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

Mom: Jooyeon, baby, why did you hang up?
Jooyeon: mom, why did professor Gun-il answered your phone?
Mom: love I didn't wish for you to learn about it this way, I'm coming home I will explain everything to you, love you.

And just like that she finished their conversation. What didn't she want Jooyeon to learn this way? His heart beating faster only with the thought that what he has on his mind was true.

Seated on a chair in the kitchen he waited patiently for his mother. His life had been really weird lately and he had no idea why. Taking his phone his texted the only person that ever understood him, his best friend, his sister, the sister he never had.

Jooyeon
What you doing?
                                                    Byeol
                           Just eating pizza and watching anime.
Jooyeon
Eating without me?
                                                   Byeol
                           That's not important now, before I forget. You know the stone that someone sent us, it shined today, only for a second but it did when I was getting the pizza, I don't know why but it looked suspicious, the delivery guy was also suspicious, when he saw the stone he told me that it was so beautiful and rare so it would be good if I don't show it too much.

Jooyeon
Mine did nothing. Anyway we will talk later about this I think my mom is home, I will text you when I go to bed, bye.

He didn't waited for the girl to replay, from the moment that he heard the front door he was waiting for his mom to come inside the kitchen. The woman came tired, some grocery bags on her hands. Leaving her keys on the table she started putting the things she had just bought in their place.

Jooyeon: you can't just ignore my presence.
Mom: I'm not ignoring your presence, I just have to do this and after that we will talk.
Jooyeon: oh so now grocery is more important than telling me why you were with my teacher at this time?

The anger was making Jooyeon say things he didn't want to, but he couldn't really control it.

Mom: don't forget that I'm your mother and I deserve much more respect than that, beside, your not my dad and I'm not a kid, I can be with whoever I want, wherever I want, whenever I want.

The woman's voice clam but the anger was quite visible, she expected Jooyeon to be more patient and respectful, this wasn't how she raised him.

Jooyeon: so who am I in your life then? Don't I have the right to know where my mom is?
Mom: you are the person that I love the most in the world and sure you have the right to know, it's just that I respect myself enough to not let you talk to me with that tone. If you decide to be more patient, respectful and mature than we can talk, if not than I'm sorry but I'm not saying a thing.

In one side Jooyeon knew his mother was right, she had gone through so much things only for him, she had a difficult life and yet she took care of him and he never missed a thing, but in the other side, his life wasn't being that good to him, he was scared for himself and for his mother, he was worried. How could she just disappear like that? Jooyeon had never been this angry to him mom, and he knew that if they continued the talking thing, things would get out of hand.

Jooyeon: fine I'm going in my room, have a good night.
This time his voice was calm and sweet. He never intended on hurting his mother so he would just hurt himself instead.

Without waiting for an answer he slowly walked up the stairs. As he opened the door and got inside he let himself fall on his bed, he hasn't done anything today, why did he feel so tired? Closing his eyes he let his mind travel in his dreams. He had promised Byeol that he will text her but universe had other plans.

In the other side Byeol waited for her best friend to text her, she has so many things to talk about, but as the hours passed she started to become sleepy and after a short time she also let her mind travel in her dreams.

How could they know that they weren't alone anymore, wherever they were, there was someone watching them, WANTING them...
