One More Weekend. | SEULRENE

Chapter III

Irene's POV

I woke up lying in bed. Just then I realized I passed out while I was talking to Jimin in the balcony.

I got up from my bed feeling thirsty. I got out of my room. On my way to the kitchen, I heard people arguing. I stopped at the mention of me.

"Unnie is never like that Mom! What do you mean she's fine!?" Jimin shouted.

"Jimin calm down."

"She almost jump off the balcony! You expect me to calm down?! Is there something I don't know?" I felt anger in her voice already. "DAD!?"

"W- what do you mean she almost jump off the balcony?" Mother stutter.

Before any of them can speak up again, I made my presence known. They all look at me. Dad even stand up.

"I'm thirsty." I said without any emotion.

When I said this place is getting me weak, I said it truthfully.

I walk my way to the kitchen to drink and after, I find my way to my room. Only to be stopped by them.

"Sweetie, why don't you eat with us first. It's dinner time already." Dad said in his most concern tone. I let out a sigh, before facing them.

"I'm not hungry." I said and turn my back on them.

When I get to my room, I sat on my swivel chair. What exactly is the point of bringing me back here? As if they never forced me to leave this place before.

I look at one of my drawer, in front of me. I hesitated but still, I opened it. Revealing all the photos and films. They're still here. I'm surprised they didn't threw them away.

I took out some of the pictures. It was mostly taken by her. I open my other drawer to check if I still have the mini film reader she gifted me. To my luck it's still there. I started puttin on the film and look at the photos in it.

I was just looking at them then my eyes got blurry. I chuckled at the thought of crying again.

"Coming back here is basically torture." I said to myself.

All things here stayed the same. Damn! Even the neighbor's dog still barks at me the moment I passed by it, this afternoon.

Flashback...

"Isn't our neighbor your relative?" I asked her as we walk hand in hand in a beach, a little far away from our hometown.

She stopped, look at me, and nodded.

"They have this dog. It always startle me everytime I pass by their house. I don't know if the dog's doing it on purpose or not but--"

"Bun, it's their nature. They bark." she pinch my cheek before running away from me.

"Yaaah!" I run after her.

At that moment, I wished we were really that free to run around, together.

I wish we didn't have to go to a different place just to hide whatever we have.

Just when I reach her we both fell down on the sand. We laugh at each other.

"Seulgi?" we stopped laughing and look at each other when we heard someone called her name.

The both of us, automatically stand up and face the person who just spoke. Fuck!

"Bae Joohyun." she said my name, surprised. She just stare at the both of us, trying to read us.

I'm hella nervous at the moment.
