STAR - JAYHOON

17

I escaped sunghoon's hand by a heartbeat, it was a close call and I knew , from his eyes that didn't seem to see anything else but me , the look on his eye made him look like he had humanity inside , and the way he laughed. I knew that if he started he wouldn't stop

I was able to grab the figurine he had on the table next to the couch , and hit his head with it . It was a strong hit that broke it on his head .

I thought i killed him so I kneeled next to his still body , hoping i didn't. Getting close enough i heard him breathing and I was relived, I got up and looked at him , started searching for the door keys . They were in his pants , I slowly and carefully took them out, hoping I don't wake him up . When I pulled the keys I saw he had a keyring on them , my name was engraved on it . I felt a shiver go all-over my spine , and in a moment of anger i steped on his ankle , maybe it was so hard, because I heard a crack .

I looked back at his face,blood started dripping over it , even in that state , beaten to unconsciousness, he still had that smug face .

I unlocked the door and left so fast , leaving my everything behind , knowing him he will be back after me so might as well get me my stuff , my top priority at that moment was to get as far as i could from him . Concidering his broken ankle , my old appartement was a good option

I stopped by a public restroom and fixed my apparence . And then I walked to my old building, the landlord opened his arms welcoming, the appartement wasn't even viewed by anyone since i left , he gave me the keys and we agreed I'll pay the rent tomorrow, since it was already late

The appartement haven't been touched, it was exactly the way I left it, even the cabinets that i left open , were still the way they are . I felt some sort of peace , in this rusty old appartement, the appartement i moved to once with high hopes and the place that watched all my dream crash and all my struggles unfold . It felt like meeting a friend who knew everything about you .

I got to my bed , wishing i can wake up normally , have a normal breakfast and leave to another normal day of my life , I really wished I don't wake up to sunghoon sharing my bed , or waiting for me in my kitchen .. I wished I'd wake up like i did years ago

And I did  , I woke up to trucks clattering and people yelling , not a hand touching me , nor a pair of eyes watching all over me . It was like everyone else's mornings , and it brought me more happiness than I expected

I moved on with my day , slowly. Sunoo wasn't home , and sunghoon wasn't waiting for me outside of my appartement, nor watching me from a distance as I walked around the City . I got more and more at ease . I walked endlessly , just thinking about my life .I had some money in my bank account, I hardly spent any of my money when i was out of the city , ans it just accumulated there . I didn't have to worry about money for a month or two , I was way healthier and was able to get some rest from running around , I didn't have sore muscles in a while now

Walking around , I found myself near heejake's house , so I decided to meet them , talk to them and most likely rant about what's been happening to me lately, and if I'm lucky enough they'll accept to hire me again , because we're freiends . I knocked the door and it was only Jake who's home

-"Oh ! You came back !" He opened his arms for a hug

-"Yeah , some things happened and i ended up moving back here" I started talking already, hugging Jake back

-"He brought you back didn't he ah " he gave me a teasing look " but I'm mad at you"

Jake was a smooth talker , he walked me inside , me completely dumbfounded of what he's speaking about, but he kept going and I didn't even get time to ask
