Unknown Number || Kim Seungmin [ON HIATUS]

<13>. The real past

Reji POV:

I opened my eyes slowly, white walls surrounding me.

Last thing I remember was me getting out of Seungmin's office. Then fainting.

Shit.

"Hi."

I look over to my left and i see the figure of a girl sitting there.

I knew her?

"Im Starie nice to meet you," She said with a faint smile. Everything looked blurry to me so I couldn't see the person's face too clearly.

She seemed nice? Nice enough to stay here next to me.

I slowly tried sitting down, the 'starie' girl helping me.

"Where's Seungmin?" I croaked, my voice dry. I was hoping to see him here, worried for me like he always was.

I might sound like a pick-me but I just missed him.

The way he would always make sure if I was fine and if I ever needed something.

"He put me in charge of you, are you okay? Do you need anything?" Starie asked standing up beside me.

I squinted looking up at her face.

She was pretty. Really pretty. "No thanks I'm good, can you call Seungmin?" I asked hoping for her to say yes.

"Listen, if you still think you have a chance with him then you're mistaken. I can call him yes but I don't think he would want to talk to you, that's why I'm here," Starie said in a hushed tone.

I sat staring at the wall infront of me biting my lips.

Starie sighed beside me before picking up her phone.

" I know what you've been through and I know it's not easy for you. That's why I'm doing this but really, take my advice. Leave him be, he isn't the one for you. I would say.. Yeonjun loved you a lot," Starie whispered looking down at her phone.

Yeonjun? She knew him?

My mind started spinning.

" Yes? " I heard Seungmin say from Starie's phone, I turned my head waiting to speak to him.

" Seungmin, Reji-" Starie started but was cut off.

" If she wants to talk to me, I'm busy," Seungmin said hanging up the call.

I bit back the tears.

"Busy making out with Charlotte probably," the words slipped from my mouth sounding harsher and more jealous than expected.

"Reji," Starie's warned.

I sighed resting my head on the pillow, "Yeonjun didn't love me enough to cheat on me did he?"

Starie looks at me for a while before speaking, "He didn't cheat on you. He was.. he was facing me, doing a staring contest because, well we had nothing better to do, and then I guess you were drunk, jealous like you always are and thought we were flirting with each other?"

I freeze. Did I hear her right? Or was I just deaf.

She was the person? That Yeonjun was with?

"He kissed you-"

"He didn't."

"But-"

"He didn't," Starie snapped, "That wasn't Yeonjun, it was Hyunjin you actual dumbass,"

"WHA-"

Starie places a hand on my mouth stopping me from yelling.

"They wore the same clothes there," Starie said.

Hyunjin? At the club? Kissing someone?

Kissing... Someone?

"Yeah, so.. Yeonjun, he told me he was gonna propose to you.. and then he um.." Starie's voice disappeared.

"He d.. died," I finish off for her looking into my lap.

"Im sorry Reji," Starie's says.

She was Yeonjun's best friend, she was the person yeonjun talked about, said he knew since he was 6. It was her. And she feels bad for me because Yeonjun died.

Imagine the pain she went through.

"Don't be, you've known him longer, you were his best friend, you went through a lot yourself didn't you?"

She nodded. And the air went quiet, filled with awkward silence.

I cleared my throat.

"Thanks, for what you just told me," I mumble.

Starie takes my hand and stands up.

"I'll be back," she whispers walking away.

Leaving me alone, regretting every decision I ever made.

My phone buzzes.

' What are you thinking now?'

It was the unknown number. It was back. I sigh about to reply.

'Thinking about you x'

I sent it. Hoping for them to shut up.

'You're not thinking about what you just got told?'
'Enjoy thinking about him'

I turn off my phone. I was used to it. I just needed to figure out who it was. Stalking me.
