(Un)requited Love

2.

'Did she... Perhaps, remember me as well?' this thought has been bugging me. I'm on the way to the broadcasting studio when I bumped into some random students. 'Yeah this is the 3rd time today, get yourself together dahyun-ah' I guess I've been thinking a lot about unnecessary things. I sighed.

"Kim Dahyun!" I was left in shock as I saw an angry Jihyo approaching me from afar. Everyone in our club is outside too, panicking and looking anxious. The atmosphere was really tense, and I can't understand why are they looking at me, agitated.

"Are you kidding me right now?" she asked slightly raising her voice. I feel my hands shaking in fear as I heard Jihyo's deep tone of voice as she speak again. I can't dare to look at her straight so I keep my head down. I immediately checked my pockets after realizing why she was suddenly furious. 'How stupid of me to forget the keys'

'As far as I remember, I put it inside my pocket the last time we met. And I'm wearing the same skirt, but I can't find it... Maybe I left it at home.'

"S-sorry Eonnie, I u-uh forgot, because I had an errand to do." I explained. I was standing in front of everyone feeling sorry for what I'd done.

Jihyo is the president of the broadcasting club, and I am her most trusted officer. But this time, I think I screwed up big time... I forgot that I have the keys to the studio since Jihyo gave them to me the last time we met saying that she might be late for today. Sadly, I came late as well. Jihyo is very strict when it comes to leadership, and this is the first time I feel so unreliable. I feel like I disappointed her and our club as well. My tears are soon to flood but I managed to maintain my composure.

Everyone looked at me blankly, not knowing what to do. They're probably panicking inside their heads because Jihyo's action is somewhat unpredictable. They were all waiting for me since early in the morning. They can't set up for today's broadcast because I have the keys to the studio. 'And I lost it.'

I heard Jihyo release a sigh before speaking again.

"Eunbi, inform the chief that we can't broadcast for today." she ordered and the girl immediately followed. Everyone stayed tight-lipped because of the tension. My anxiety surfaces even more with this kind of ambiance.

"Everyone, go back to your rooms. And Dahyun I want to have a word with you." Jihyo summed up.

After everyone left she beckoned me to follow her. I was frustrated and I don't know how should I explain myself. She walks slowly and we were covered with silence. I'm waiting for her to speak...

"Eonnie... I u-uh." I nervously said trying to initiate a conversation.

"Dahyun-ah," she called me with a completely strange tone. I'm new to this since she never nagged me before. 'Well, that's because I never made a mistake. But now... I'm scared.' I looked at her trying to hold my tears. And to not show her how agitated I am.

"I want to nag you for making a mistake. But I know that this is the first time this happened. I don't know what's gotten into you today. But I want you to gather your thoughts and lay low if you're facing a problem." she softly said. Maybe she recognized that I'm trying to hold my tears.

"S-sorry eonnie." I pleaded and bowed. She gave me a reassuring smile and tapped my shoulder.

"Just give me the keys and you can rest for some weeks." she said, so I nodded in response.

As she turned her back I walked away from her and my tears started to flood.  ' I'm such a bummer.'

I'm completely fine, but something seems off with me today. I don't understand why I'm so unlucky whenever I see her. I hate it, she's making me hate her.
