Chapter 5. Give Me 13 Days

HAERIN POV

It's been two days since the last time I talked to Dani. Great right? We've never been apart for more than few hours before but look at us now! I guess I really fucked it up!

Dani didn't even come to school for two days straight and all of our friends have been constantly asking me about her. Even her cheerleading coach came to me to ask what happened to her as we are best friend.

Or

Maybe we used to be best friend, I don't know if I still can use the title for now. And all I can do was just came up with some lame excuses like 'she is sick' or 'she is not feeling well' and such. When in fact I didn't even know what happened to her.

Maybe I should come with a solution to this?..

So, I decided to go to Danielle's house to talk about this. She can't really hide from me forever right? No matter how touchy this subject to me, we bound to talk about it sooner or later. And it's actually my heart being broken, but seems like Dani took this even more seriously than I am.

Shouldn't she be the one to console me over my brokenheart because no matter what, she's still my best friend, at least that's what I thought. But look at me now, standing in front of her doorstep, knocking her door while waiting anxiously for someone to open it.

Guess when you have feeling for someone, you rather feel hurt as long as that person is happy right? Feeling sucks then!

"Hey Haerin. Glad to see you here. Danielle has been up in her room for some days now and she didn't even want to talk to me about it. Maybe you can talk to her about what happened? I guess it's like best friend code or something?"

"Yeahhh I came here for her. Don't worry Aunty Rose. I'll try to solve whatever problem she might have.." Greaaattt! If only she knew Dani acted that way might have something to do with me.

"Cool! So I should go to work now. You guys have a great time yeah? I've put some pizzas at the kitchen counter and money as well. Bye Haerin.", she said before rushing to her car and drove away.

So, that's Marsh Chae-young as know as "Roseanne", Danielle's mom. She is such a sweet woman and really kind to everyone.

But she rarely at home due to her overload works. I don't exactly know what she does for life but it has something to do with business and she owned it.

She owned it with her husband before but Danielle's dad met with an accident 6 years ago and died on spot. Since that time, Aunty Rose has been extremely busy and didn't have much time for her only daughter, that's why Dani being taken care by her grandmother sometimes.

I guess Aunty Rose also feel grateful for my presence because we spent nearly every single time together that makes Dani forgot about the hurt of losing a father. Sometimes, my family will even took Dani for a vacation together and that makes her still have a father figure in her life. My father. I've told you guys before that Dani and I are hardly being separated right??..

So, why am I here again? Ohh.. To have a talk with my best friend...

I slowly knock on Dani's room. I heard some shuffling inside the room before the doorknob being jiggled and unlocked.

Few seconds later, Dani angelic face appeared behind the door. But she looks kinda...terrible? Her hair seems messed up and she put them in a bun, while her eyes seems swolen. Her nose looks a bit red at the tip and she wore quite a shock expression when she saw me.

"Ummm heyy..", I tried to make a conversation.

"Hey... What are you doing here?", she answered a bit tiredly.
