A FEW DAYS LATER
Sitting down at the table with the girls was the regular thing for me nowadays, as such was ignoring Niki as much as I could.
Yeah sure, partially the blame was on me - because with such obvious hints and connections right beside me - how could I not possibly notice?
Why Niki was mad at me sometimes - this being because I never responded to his letters - why he had this way of speaking that I was familiar with.
You can tell me that I should be happy, ecstatic even, that out of all people - he's my penpal. But take a think of how you'd feel if you were literally lied to your face for so long?
This guy knows most of my life, and despite being right next to me, he never decided to tell me.
In that case, I'll just continue ignoring him.
"Where's that annoying asshole at nowadays? I'm kind of missing that entitled attitude of his." Mina looked around.
His group didn't sit next to us for the past few days, nor did I even see Niki within their little clique. Which simply made me wonder, where the hell that guy went.
Oh so now he's the heartbroken one? Maybe if he grew a pair of balls and told me immediately this could have a completely different ending.
"Don't lie to yourself, enjoy this peace and quiet while we have it." Go-eun suddenly looked over at me, "For real though, where'd your boyfriend go?"
I let out a scoff at the word boyfriend, rolling my eyes and tearing a small part of my sweet bread off.
"Could care less where he is." I shrugged, placing it in my mouth as the girls all looked at me, beady yet hawk-eyed. They all had the exact same expression on their faces, looking at me, in silence, in a deep thought.
"Niki made you his side chick? We told you beforehand to not mess around with that guy." Jihyun chuckled, shaking her head slightly as the table erupt into sighs.
"As if that guy made me his side chick, he's just pathetic, that's all there is to it. Maybe his feelings were hurt, I don't know why he's off, and frankly, could not give a single fuck." In a small fit of rage, I just spewed out whatever came to thought.
Sure, I said that I could give a single fuck about where he is, but I deep down knew myself, and that was clearly a lie.
Why couldn't he just turn up and apologise properly? What the actual hell is he doing, disappearing for so long?
Go-eun nudged me, widened eyes and a small, smirk crossing her lips.
"Oooh, okay, something definitely happened between you two. So tell me then, go on." She continually nudged me with the cheekiest grin known to man.
Safe to say, I was not in the mood for this conversation right now. Simply, I shrugged, yet the girls continued to try and get answers out of me.
Up until I had enough really, and excused myself to the bathroom to recollect my thoughts for a brief moment.
I entered a stall, sitting down and giving a large sigh, pulling out my phone. No messages from Niki whatsoever, nothing, not a single hint that he was alive or something.
Did this guy kill himself over me or what?
The sound of shifting feet coming into the bathroom made me press my lips together, staying silent just incase it was someone I knew.
And just my luck, it was.
"God, I don't even know where he is, he's not picking up any of my calls, and when I try ask his friends they just push me out of the way." Yejin's exasperated voice came from outside my stall.
I held my breath, my heart genuinely beating out of my chest.
"Hey, Yejin, I bet that village girl knows something. You know her and Niki are super close?" One of Yejin's friends mentioned me, and I already knew that if I came out of the still - I'm pretty much fucked.
Okay, but why do they refer to me as village girl. I'll have them know that I did not live in a village.
"She's so fucking annoying, she comes along one day and suddenly Niki is drooling over her." Yejin scoffed, turning the faucet on.
"Is she here too? Or gone just like Niki, pfft, that'd explain alot if the two both disappeared together." Another of her friends asked, and I just gave a light smile to myself in the stall.
Yeah, right here.
"I don't know, I think she's here, I swear if I see her with Niki one more time, I don't even know what I'll do." Yejin gave a small groan before proceeding to walk out of the bathroom with her clique of girls.
Well that was eventful, now I have her on my case too.
I stepped out of the stall, giving a deep exhale before running my hands through water. The bell had gone, and finally, it was time for my last lecture.
If I even manage to make it through without Yejin decapitating me before.
