I walked into the court and saw that Wooyeol was struggling with archery but proudly she was doing well day by day.

"lost. again!! ughhh" she grunted before she realised I was standing behind her. She blinks innocently before looking down.

"I'm sorry, I can't beat Ahri, I can barely shoot the red one, how can I even shoot the middle one" she said while looking down.

I lifted her chin making her look up at my face

"Didn't I warn you about low self-esteem? did you even listen to me?" I asked her. She nodded.

"confidence is the key to success, and failure is a stage of success. you can't give up easily, Wooyeol. trust yourself. now shoot." I crossed my arms and stood behind her.

"I did!! I DID SHOOT THE YELLOW ONE!! I DID-" She tripped again and fell. I shook my head and bent down to her level.

"And you should control your clumsiness while you're excited." I pinched her nose and formed a little smile.

"try again tomorrow, make sure to use the right technique" I grab my bag and wish her goodbye.

I've told her that I have to go home early. today cause my parents were coming home.

-

"I'm home" seeing my parents were paying attention to their laptops. I grunted loudly as I was annoyed by their behaviour. I walked to my room and slammed the door loudly.

I smashed myself on the bed. My parents didn't even bother with me going back home late, it was almost 10 PM. I felt so different, I usually didn't care about them but now??

"I guess, I'm no longer needed in their life. fuck my life" I laughed alone until my eyes landed on the mirror. seeing myself look miserable.

" Remember that I'll always be here for you, just like you were here for me"

I'm hallucinating?.. I saw Wooyeol in the mirror. What is happening to me?? what is this feeling??? Wooyeol all of a sudden was running on my mind. I immediately called Mrs Najla.

"Hello, Mrs Najla, am I bothering you? I want to ask you something" I said as I was worried about my mentality, start seeing things.

"what is it Taehyun? it's already 11 PM.." Mrs Najla yawns, waiting for my answer. I can hear she's half asleep with Mr Felix's voice in the background.

"I feel like my head is about to burst!! I-"

"you're probably nervous, tomorrow is the day you're going to challenge Sean and Ahri, right? so, you may feel nervous, now just let me sleep ...." Mrs Najla went silent and started snoring softly on the phone. I ended the call.

nervous? hmmm...
