PSYCHO???

CHAPTER SIX

KYUNG EUNSOO

      They must have gotten bored of calling me names since they were all quiet when I walked into the class this morning.
     
        I made my way to the changing room to get ready for basketball practice. I walked into the room and everyone got quiet. I could hear someone snickering and giggling as I reached my locker. My veins almost popped in anger when I saw that my knee pads,sneakers and jersey had been cut to pieces.

           " Who was the bastard that did this?". I asked as I looked around the room.
     
           " I said.....who the fuck did this?

I looked around and saw YoonHo and the other guys laughing in a corner of the room and I could feel my rage boil as I rushed over and grabbed YoonHo by the collar.

           " You crazy bastard "

I threw a punch across his face and then straddled him while raining more punches on him until blood trickled down his nose.

          " Ya!!! Kyung Eunsoo"

I turned around and saw the coach standing behind me.                              
  .......

      " Eunsoo do you have any proof that he was the one who did it? "

              " No sir.....but"
              " Eunsoo you can't just go around beating up people "
              " But...."
             " Listen..... I think you should stop coming in for now"
             " Are you kicking me off the team sir?"
              " No. Right now, you really need to get yourself together. I know this whole thing with your father is affecting you...so just take some time off to gather your thoughts. "
             " Why does everyone keep bringing up my father? I didn't do anything wrong and yet they've called me all sorts of things and done all kinds of things to me . I know my father is innocent and I'll prove all of you wrong. You are the monsters.

          I turned around and kicked the locker beside me and walked towards the door .

                 " screw this"

LEE TAEMIN
      I stood quietly as people came forward to pay their respects. I looked at the black framed picture that was decorated by the flowers placed by everyone in this room .
       " Here lies a loving husband,brother,father,uncle and friend. Rest in peace Lee Kwangsoo."

       That was what was written on the banner below the picture. I looked at the guests who were all seated on the floor, eating and instantly felt nauseous. Mum was with uncle Byungchan, his wife and daughter in a corner of the room. I was standing in front of dad's picture and my chest felt really heavy like something was pressing down on it. I was there for a while and couldn't bring myself to leave.
          A bunch of dad's colleagues,friends and some of our tenants came over to offer their condolences. It was nice but it was just too much for me. I felt nauseous and lightheaded as I smiled lightly.
          I felt suffocated as I  walked through the crowd trying to go out the front door. Mum would have to go home without me.

KYUNG EUNSOO
        I tried to keep my rage under control as I wafted through the crowd. I couldn't go home like this so I headed towards the Han River Park. Since it was Monday evening, there would be fewer people.
        I got to the park and was about to sit when I noticed someone leaving the walkway and going into the water. He was putting on a black suit with a band around his arm.
          " He must be coming from a funeral "
I got up and started yelling to get his attention but he was too far away,so I ran towards him. With each reducing meter,the boy looked more and more familiar.
      I increased my pace as it dawned on me who the person was.
                 " Ya!!! Taemin! Taemin!"
I yelled his name as I got closer and couldn't find him in the water.
   
                  " Taemin!! *Aish! Taemin!!"
*Aish is a Korean word for "damn" "damn it" "fuck"

I took off my shoes and was about to run into the water when I heard a voice.
       " Ya...what are you doing? "
I looked down and just a few inches from me was Taemin sitting on a boulder a few feet from the water.
        " Are you crazy Taemin? "
        " Huh?"
       " I ... I thought you were going into the water"
       " I just wanted some air"
      " There are plenty of places to get fresh air. Now come up here"
I pulled him up and started walking away....but he suddenly pulled me by my arm.
          " Hey....Why are you angry?"
          " I ran and kept shouting your name and I know you heard me....so why the fuck didn't you answer? I thought you were dead "
           " I was gonna answer but watching you being all worried was kinda funny so I just waited "
           " Fun...Fun? Okay....whatever. Goodbye "
I walked into the convenience store and picked a cup noodle.
        " What about me?
I sighed and picked up another cup noodle and two cans of Sprite. We sat down at the table and began munching away.
