It's quiet for a while, but I can still hear them sometimes so I know they are still here. I feel so much angry and more annoyed. Things get more complicated in my head. But then, I hear someone enters the restroom with a heavy and loud voice is looking for me.
Jihyo: Where is Haeju?
After a while, someone knocks the door.
Jihyo: Haeju, are you okay?
Me: (not answering)
Jihyo: (knocking the door) May I come, Haeju? Let me help you. Please, open the door....
I can't answer that. She makes me hesitant to open it or not. I still don't want to meet anyone, but I guess I've made a problem by staying here. If it's not, then Twice's leader shouldn't look for me. Suddenly, a weak and soft voice calls my name.
Mina: Haeju.... It's me......
Me: ...................
Mina: Haeju....?
Me: (unlock the door)
Mina: (gets inside)
Me: Close the door, Mina.
Mina: (locks the door again) Haeju, I'm worried about you.....
Me: (whisper, so the others cannot hear) Sigh.... I'm sorry, Mina.
Mina: It's fine. Just tell me what's wrong.....
Me: I don't know. I.... I feel so angry! Ugh!!!
Mina: (startled, but keeps it cool)
Me: Why was she so mean to me? Does she hate me? That was too much!
Mina: Was it....?
Me: Actually this is not about Nayeon anymore. I realize that something inside me is burning. I'm angry 'to her', but not 'because of her'. You know what I mean, right?
Mina: (nods) Yeah....
Me: And.... That makes me feel so guilty! I don't want to be like this, okay?! I just wanna run. Hide! I don't want people to see me like this. I don't want to keep being a problem for you guys. Or for anyone. This is so unprofessional, ugh why am I so dumb?!!
Mina: Hey hey... You are not! (hugs me, rubs my back) Everyone loves you. You just have some... 'Conditions'...
Me: I guess you are right..... Haah.... If only everyone thinks like you, Mina.
Mina: Hnn.... Just be angry, that's okay. They will understand you. (still rubbing my back)
Me: Yeah.... (release the hug) Yes, I'm weird! Incompetent! I don't deserve what I have right now! Haaaissh!!!
Mina: ..........
Me: (scream angrily) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggghh!!!
Mina: .................................................
Me: Hahaha..... Huh, I feel better now (grin)
Mina: (smiles to me)
Me: Not better better. Just a little. Argh, I'm so mad! Really!!!
Mina: ........
Me: ........
Mina: .........
Me: I guess I should come out from this stall. I've been here for too long now.
Mina: Hmm.... Have you felt better?
Me: Yeah, I have.
Mina: Are you sure? Okay then, let's go..!
I stand up and Mina unlocks the door. No one is there anymore, except Jihyo. A bottle of water is on her hand.
Jihyo: Haeju!
Me: (walking to the sink)
Mina: (escorting me)
Jihyo: Have you felt better? Here, have some drink! Anyway, I've heard what is the problem between you and Nayeon, Ju. I can help you solve it. I--
Mina: (cuts her by giving a sign to stop talking)
Me: (sighing, then rinse my face)
Mina: I think you need this.... (gives me the bottle of water)
Me: Thanks...... (drink it)
Then the door is opened. Three of us turn to see who is coming.
Momo: Haeju.... Can you get back to the studio? Nayeon wants to say a word.
Me: (not answering)
Mina and Jihyo: (signs her from afar not to disturb me)
Momo: (doesn't get what the sign means) She feels sorry. Nayeon really wants to meet you..... (give me her hand)
Me: (thinking about grabbing it back or not, before finally decide to do it) Me too.....
Momo and I get out of the room. Mina and Jihyo are following us from behind. Outside, apparently Nayeon and Jeongyeon are also on their way to see me.
Nayeon: Hey Ju, I'm sorry... I've said terrible things to you. That was so immature of me.
Me: (looking at the ground, stutter) Me too, Nayeon. I..... I don't hate you, you know..... I don't want you to think like that.
Nayeon: Sure, I know (pats my shoulder) No hard feeling, okay? (smiles)
Me: (look at her face and immediately hug her, crying) Jeongmal mianhae, Nayeonaaaa! Wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........
Nayeon: Haha, it's fine it's fine (stroking my hair) Hey, you are just tired, that's all! And probably hungry. We are all. We get it!
Me: (laughing while crying) Hahaha yes.... But sorryyyy..... Sorrryyyy.....................!!! (continues crying)
Nayeon: CHILL, HAEJU!!! (pushes me back)
Me: (startled, look at her)
Nayeon: (her voice is trembling, eyes are teary) Don't make me cry too, okay?
Me: (holds my cry) Sorry.....
Nayeon: I haven't finished my photo shoot turn. Don't wanna ruin this makeup, right? (giggles) Aww... nevermind! Come here, Haeju, I love you.... (hugs me)
Me: (hug her back) Yeah, I love you too, Nayeon! I really do.......
While hugging her, I accidentally look at Jeongyeon that is standing there. She winks at me. I smile. Yeah, I get it, Jeongyeon. Everyone has done their best to take care of me today. I promise I won't make a problem with the members anymore.....
......especially with Nayeon ;)
