06

The next day, I stayed at home as well.

Last night I realized something.

Whenever I thought of Hyunjin I felt happy. Not just happy, loved.

I know I've only known him for some time but I've grown attached to him.

As a kid, I grew up thinking people my age hated me. It was because I got bullied a lot.

I never knew why they did. But it hurt me.

I was in my own world when I heard my phone ring.

Huh? Who could that be?

I looked at the screen and saw that it was Kwan.

Kwan?

I answered and said, "Hello?"

"Hey, Felix! It's Kwan,"

"Kwan? Your back?" I said.

"Yep! Missed me?" Kwan said.

Kwan is one of my old friends. He went to go study in America a while ago.

"Mhm!"

"How have you been?" he asked.

"Great! How about you?" I asked.

"I'm good. Now that I'm back I want to see you," Kwan said.

"Well uh-"

"I'll be at your house in ten," he said.

"You're already coming?-"

Before I could say anything else Kwan hung up.

I sighed and went to my closet. Do I really have to change this late?

A few minutes later Kwan arrived.

I opened the door and said, "Hey Kwan!"

"You got ready that fast?"

"What?" I said.

"You always change before I come over," Kwan said.

"Uh-"

"Don't play dumb. I bet you were in those Christmas pj's you always wear before I came," he said.

"Gosh, you know me too well!" I said.

"Just be comfortable in anything you wear. I don't really care,"

"Your house looks the same," he said while walking around.

"Yea," I said.

"Where's your mom?" he asked.

"She went out for a walk," I said.

"This late?"

"Yea, I don't really know why,"

I felt really uncomfortable with Kwan.

Before he left for America we dated.

It feels weird knowing our past was like that.

Yes, I like boys. I don't know if I still do though.

I'm not ready for a relationship yet.

"Wanna hit the club?" Kwan asked randomly.

"The club?"

"You in? It has been a while anyway," he said.

Don't remind me. One thing I hated about Kwan is that he would drag me to clubs whenever we hung out.

He would get drunk and try to hook up with people right in front of me. I would try to tell him what happens at the club when we are there but he always denied it.

I gave up on telling him and just let it happen.

My heart ached to know that he will never know how much I suffered. He hurt me.

"Yeah, sure.." I said.

We got into his car and drove off.
