siwon's pov
"i'm back," i said as i barged into yumi's. she became startled. "yumi.. you didnt tell mom anything right?" i asked restlessly. "uh.. what would i tell her?" she asked with a confused face, i finally sighed heavily.
"oh.. thanks." i replied.
"..i suppose you ran after that woman, no?" she asked. i nodded and sat on the bed. i knew i had to face it so i came prepared. "you just could have told me that you'd wanna spend more time with your friend," she said. i raised my eyebrows. oh fuck. i couldnt think that far.. stupid me. i just.. didnt want to get separated again before things even started so i worked on impulse.
"...right." i replied. but something was fishy. she was acting dumb on purpose huh?
"but there's no way she's only a 'friend', is she?" she asked, folding some clothes on the bed. "i mean you're not the type to sketch someone that frequently even if they were just a friend of yours." she added, and looked at me. i sighed, it was quite obvious anyway.
"she just means alot to me, okay?" i replied. "i can totally tell.. but.. is she someone you like? like.. 'like' like. you get it." she asked. i stayed silent. i didnt wanna reply to her. why does it matter to her? "....i really don't wanna answer that question, think whatever you want," fuck this. i just hoped none of this reached to mom. but again..
how long will i stay like that? without ever trying convincing her. without ever facing her. it was.. getting overwhelming eventually. only if she tried understanding me for once.. listening to me for once. that would really be a chance i wouldnt wanna miss. i came back in seoul like two days ago and was planning on how i could find a chance to catch up with aryun. i had no idea i'd meet her that early, and unexpectedly there. glad i did though.. and of course, thanks to yumi for her observation skills. i've always been hopeless. after seeing aryun though, i have a feeling i can make this work out. i can.. face my mom. maybe. i'll try my best even if she grounds me or something.
i was surprised though that even after hearing the fact that i was in love with a girl, she hadnt said a word to me. she just... directly made me move out. i guess that was something. i still wonder to this day, how she got to know. who told her. i'd asked my sister tons of times but she wasnt the one who told her about that. she never had known in the first place.
"it's okay. wont push you further, sorry about that." yumi replied, which got me out of my thoughts. "oh yea. right. i'll.. pass out for a while." i said as i went to the other room and fell on the bed without changing my outfit. i just wanted to text aryun. why did she cry?? she looked sort of mad at me. i wonder if she has a boyfriend by now.. i dunno. i.. just hope she doesnt. i mean- if thats not me. here goes nothing.
me: aryun
this is siwon
i'm sorry i couldnt stay there for long.. i will meet up with you again whenever you're free. i'm free these days so yeah
aryun: ...can you explain
me: yeah. i'm here to explain. i wasnt present the last few days because i was.. afraid yeah. after confessing. then my mom somehow got to know about this thing. she decided to get me out of the college after that.. that's basically all in a nutshell
also.. thanks for.. showing up at the station that day. i was.. less overwhelmed.
aryun: no big deal.. i was just worried. wonsung helped me with that though.. i thought you'd never wanna see me again
me: i wasnt hoping to see you but i definitely would have loved to do so
aryun: you changed alot.. you werent used to admitting these stuff
