The Golden Ring • ChanBaek | ENG

[CHAPTER 067]

       Sighing loudly, I put my bags down next to me, fished out the key from the pocket of my leather jacket and opened the door. As soon as I entered, a smile appeared on my face. Maybe I've been here twice and I'm simply always overwhelmed by happiness. This is where I will live from now on.. My first own little apartment, although my mother is currently paying for it, as soon as I get a job she will put all the bills on my name.

I'll just tidy up this place for the rest of today to make sure the times goes quicker, since tomorrow is my official first date with Chanyeol. I still can't believe I'm going somewhere alone with my teacher. If I were a normal person, I would never have started dating him, because he is very sexy and such, but I have common sense, and I'm aware of the fact that this whole thing that we have is against the law. I only agreed to this, because I strongly believe he is my savior.

I started unpacking my things, I'll bring more of my stuff here on Sunday, because then Kibum will be able to help me, today after school I packed my more important things and came here with mom's car. This may be new information, but I do have a driver's license, the reason I don't use the car is that there is only one car that my father uses, and to repeat myself, I never asked anything from my parents.. Well.. now I did, for this apartment, but a car would be a whole another level.

While I was putting my clothes in the dark brown closet, my phone suddenly rang. I walked out into the kitchen - sweet life, I have a kitchen! - which is connected to the living room. The device was resting on the table and I opened the messages with a smile, because I know Chanyeol texed me, and when my statement is confirmed, my smile turns into a grin.

'Did you get home safe? Are you looking forward to tomorrow? Because I am ^-^'

'Yes, I'm home and I can't wait for tomorrow! :3 Where are you taking me?'

'Secret.'

Pff, of course he won't tell. I shake my head with a chuckle and even though I see the little writer icon, I close the screen and listen to the beeping sound my phone makes, I just go back to packing.

Maybe twenty minutes passed before my cell phone started ringing for a long time, but I didn't pay attention to it.

I worked until the evening with arranging my stuff and what can I say, I am satisfied with the result. It was a good decision to ask mom to do this, she agreed without any objections, although she cried because her other son is also leaving the nest.

But say the least I have been wanting to move out of that house for a while now, Taeyeon just made it.. Kind of easier for me? Not like I'm grateful or anything, she shouldn't have put her nose somewhere it doesn't belong.

If I was in her place I would enjoy my life now, because I think I'm going to do what Kibum told me to do. My blood is boiling for revenge, no one could dissuade me from this. I want to break her heart, I want her to feel what it's like when someone fucks her over, and oh-! I won't hold back.

Looking at the time, I decided to take a bath in the morning, so I just brushed my teeth because I'm not hungry so I won't eat.

I got into my new bed, which, thank the heaven, turned out to be comfortable, not creaky, not too soft, not too hard. It's just perfect for sleeping peacefully in it, but for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to rest. I was turning left to right, I closed my eyes, but somehow it felt like they weren't closed at all. I feel like everything is perfect, so what is keeping me from sleeping?

It's strange being alone like this, I don't feel lonely, but something is missing, I just have no idea what. Both my body and my soul miss that little piece. Maybe I'm homesick.

I can no longer hear my parents' happy voices in the morning, mother will not come in here to knock every minute asking if I am hungry yet. On the weekends, we will not sit down in front of the TV and watch the latest movies together.

I hope mom and dad don't fight too much about it, because while mom accepts me completely, dad doesn't at all.

With these thoughts, I was finally able to go to into a deep slumber.

In the morning, I woke up a bit groggy, pushed myself up into a sitting position, and rubbed my eyes. Blinking flatly, I got out of bed and hobbled to the bathroom, where I finished my necessities, then showered.

While I was brushing my teeth, I looked at my phone screen with one eye, trying to catch the message sent by who the hell knows, because my eyesight is still bad and I haven't put my contact lenses in yet. I don't even understand why I'm trying to read it.

After finishing my morning routine, I turned my attention back to my phone.

Oh, Jessi texted!

'Hi Hyunnie, I heard from Chan that you have a date today😏! I love you so much already babyboy so I'll be honest with you. Your hair color is so fucking boring, and you are a cutie already so I think something else would look good on you. I know you don't like being touched, so I would just show you how to do things. If you're in, let me know as soon as possible 🤍!

I blinked in surprise. What's wrong with my brown hair? Well, there's really nothing special about it, but I like it. Although a little change won't hurt, right? RIGHT?

I texted her back an 'Ok, I'm in' message, to which she instantly responded and sent me her address and an appointment.

Now it's nine in the morning, I have to be there by ten, who knows how long we'll be chatting, but I'll meet Chanyeol at two in the afternoon.

I can't wait to finally be with him!
