- coffee

walking in the coffee shop as the smell of caffeine fills my nose. i looked in the cafe being really familiar with the place since i come here often. i usually come here to read or to study. i walked up to the counter placing an order, "one iced americano please." i say pulling out my card to pay. "your order will be ready soon." said the cashier with a smile. i walked away giving a small "thank you" before going to the table i usually sit at. i took out my laptop and my notebooks to finish some schoolwork i haven't even started yet. 

"one iced americano for park jiyeon" i walked to the counter to grab my drink but as i turn around i suddenly bumped into a group of four girls. dropping my phone and my drink as the cold liquid ran down my leg. flinching slightly due to the coldness i look up to see the girls staring at me. well, the chick in the front, which i guess might be their leader glares at me, looking down at her now ruined shirt as the rest start shooting daggers at me with their eyes.

"im so sorry" i say quickly grabbing napkins from the counter trying to hand it to her as she slaps my hand away. "im really sorry it was my mistake." i say repeatedly as the girl starts to get annoyed. "you think sorry is gonna fix my shirt?" she asks in sarcasm as i look down. "i can buy you a new one if you could just give me your number i can send-" i was cut off with a gasp as now not only were my jeans ruined, but my shirt as well. "there. now were even." she says smirking as i looked down to my whole attire covered in coffee. i look up hearing laughs and giggles from her friends behind her as she walks away swaying her hips. hearing whispers i look around and noticed that everyone in the cafe was now staring at me in pity.

oh i hate that look.

i walked back to my table grabbing my belongings to go back to my dorm. i didnt even get to start my work and im already heading back home. i walked towards the end of the cafe as everyone watched me. i hate it, i hate the look of pity. especially when its me who theyre pitying. i walked out wanting to avoid the stares and looks i was receiving. lucky enough i chose to come to the cafe near my dorm so now i dont have to walk far. 

shoving the key in the lock, i opened the door to my dorm kicking my shoes off while going straight to my bedroom. i didn't want mina to see this, she would definitely try to find those girls and kill them. mina is that type of person, she will always stand up for anyone and cause a scene. that's why now, i try to avoid telling her if anything happens. mina and i have been roomies since we started college and before college, we used to be friends in high school, middle school, and the end of elementary school. by now we're basically inseparable, she's been with me through everything and i've been with her through everything. that's why she's my best friend, she's the one i can always rely on.

i put on a pair of sweats and a hoodie as i walked out to the kitchen. hearing the door click i knew mina was home, "jiyeon im home" she said looking around till she finally sees me in the kitchen with a glass of water. "hi" i said dryly as she walked behind me also grabbing a glass of water for herself, "what have you been up to?" she asked chugging down the water. "nothing much, i went to the café, got coffee, studied, and now im home" i say excluding the fact that i almost got my ass beat today. "did you finish the physics work?" she asked. "not yet, im still working on it."  following me to the living room mina asked me if we could do it together so we did. 

"finally we finished this dumb assignment." mina said while stretching out her legs. "this took so long and now im exhausted." i said while yawning. it was 9 pm now and we were just sitting in the living room talking about classes and school. "did you know there's gonna be a new kid tomorrow though?" she asked as i tilted my head in confusion. "its the second semester and there is a transfer student?" i asked mina as she just shrugged. "i dont know but i heard its a dude and hes filthy rich jiyeon" she stated with a little bit of enthusiasm in her voice. "so? its just money." i replied not getting her point. "just money? jiyeon, money is all we need to live a good life" she answers trying to get me to understand which, i still didnt. "i dont think so..." i said in a low voice not understanding why everyone was so obsessed with money these days. "you can live a good life without money as well mina, you dont need money to be happy" i added on as she went deep in thought about what i just said. "you're right, all i need is you and i'll live a happy life." she said throwing me a wink as i fake barfed. "cringe" i said scrunching my nose as she giggled at my words. 

"well im going to bed, its late." i said getting up. "late? its only 9:30 jiyeon." she said rolling her eyes. "yeah well you know me, i love sleep so, im off." i said bidding her goodnight before walking into my room, i brushed my teeth and washed my face. i laid down on my bed as i quickly checked my messages for anything new as i came across a message i dreaded the most.

                                                                      kang minho

minho: hey jiyeon im back in town 

minho: we should meet up ;))

i didnt know what to respond, what to do, or even how to feel. i thought this was over, i thought my life was finally coming back together. why is my world crumbling down again? why does he have to come back? life is so unfair. just as i thought everything was getting better, my life was coming back together, that i was genuinely happy, and the fact that i stopped doing that for a while. everything went back to the way it was before, unbearable, painful, and absolutely horrible. as the flash backs started rushing through my head, i felt hot tears slowly dripping down my face as i sniffled. wiping my tears away i laid back down. i wanted to sleep everything away; sleep till it all goes away again.
