Homophobic - YUNJU

44

Minju's POV

"Min. You're spacing out again." Iroah bumped my shoulder slightly. I blink for a few times and diverted my eyes towards Iroha who is looking at me worriedly.

"Sorry." I muttered softly and went back on where I was staring before Iroha interrupted.

I instantly regretted that I look once again to where I was looking before. I felt my throat became dry and my heart clench at the sight of Iroha flirting with another girl.

"Whoa. That cheetah really turn into something. Imagine, she's flirting with almost different girls every day." Wonhee said.

Yunah didn't appear for the rest of our tour in Jeju. We heard from Ms. Pham that she excused herself for the reason that there's an emergency that she needs to attend to. And of course, Ms. Pham being a considerate teacher, she didn't think twice to believe what she said.

I really thought that Yunah left the country but what happened was worse than I expected. She stayed, which was supposed to make me happy because I'll be still seeing her and I still have the chance to explain everything to her. But I was taken aback when we came back to the university.

Yunah wasn't attending our classes. I thought she was just sick or maybe she needed some space. It didn't take me too long to found out that Yunah already change classes. And the painful part is, every time we met at the hallway, she never failed to give me a cold shoulder and worse, I can always see her flirting with different girls that I'm pretty sure is head over heels to her.

I always find myself chasing after her, begging for her time, begging for her to hear me out. But Yunah never did give me a chance. It seems like she ignored my pure existence. I cannot complain though, I am the main reason why Yunah changed. If only I was just one step ahead, if only... Then maybe,

Yunah is mine already.

"Come on Min. We will be late." Iroha said and held my hand. I gave her a weak smile and nodded.

I took a one last glance to Yunah and I felt a cold shiver run down to my spine when her eyes met mine. That was the first time that Yunah spare me a single look and I wasn't happy with that.

Why?

Her eyes where blank. Emotionless.

And that was the most painful thing that I've encountered.

"I noticed that you haven't chased Yunah for a while now. Did you already give up, Min?" Wonhee asked before taking her seat. I took a deep breathe before answering her question.

"No. It's not like that. It's more like, I don't have any choice left." I gave them a weak smile and both of them gave me a warm hug.

"Yah. Stop. You'll make me cry." I joked. The two chuckled and pulled away.

"Iroha. You're still living with that monkey right? Why don't you try to talk some sense to her? I'm pretty sure, Yunah will listen to you." Wonhee suggested.

"I'm always trying, but that loser has a lot of excuses and she has been coming home late this days." Iroha said.

"What?" Wonhee asked. A hint of surprise was visible to her voice. She and Yunah haven't been able to hangout lately since Wonhee is always with me and Yunah was clearly avoiding me and I can't help but to feel guilty.

"It's true! There was a time that Yunah went home past midnight and she was reeking-" Iroha quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from talking when she noticed how my eyes widened.

Yunah was drinking? Is she drowning herself with alcohol because of me?

I felt my heart tighten because of the fact that Yunah was suffering because of me. I chuckled dryly when I realized how pathetic I am.
