Jinhwan's Scandal | kjh

19: Fake

I went back to the campsite with my eyes a bit swollen. I hope the boys won't notice it otherwise it will be hard for me to find any good excuse to them. Aih, I shouldn't have cried a river just now. I sneaked into my tent when I don't see anyone out here.

"Yerin???"

My heart skipped a beat when someone just called out my name. Damn, it's Jinhwan. Why does he always be here? Oh I wish I can be invisible right now ㅠ.ㅠ

"Yes?" I asked innocently while a faking a smile.

He looked at me from top to toe. "Where have you been? Are you ok?"

I gulped, "Yes, I am. I just went to the waterfall to clear up my mind. Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, it is." Suddenly the boys came to me one by one without Hanbin and his little sister. Lastly, I saw Hana rolled her eyes to me.

"I didn't do anything wrong? I just went there for relaxing," I starts to raised my voice.

Donghyuk: Wait, Yerin. Are you really fine? Why do you have to yell?

I remained silent.

Bobby: We are not mad but we were just worried about you.

Yunhyeong: You went away without telling us and now you just come back.

Junhoe: What are you doing at the waterfall for four fucking hours?

Chanwoo: Are you sure you are okay?

My tears starts to forming at the corner of my eyes. Hold on, Yerin. Please don't cry in front of them. I looked down to the ground while biting my lips in order to hold back my tears.

Hanbin and Hanbyul came to us with a frown. "Yerin? You just got back?"

Hanbyul tucked on my shirt, "Teacher, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

Damn, this little girl surely can see that I'm about to cry. I faked a smile to her, again.

I kneel down to reach her height. "It's nothing, Hanbyul-ah. I'm fine," I said while caressing her hair.

Chanwoo: No, I know you are not. Come with me.

With that, he dragged me away from them, heading to somewhere only god knows. I almost tripped when I accidentally stepped on a small rock in the ground but gladly I can manage to walk normally back. Haish, did Chanwoo think I'm a dog? -.-

But then he stopped, turning back to me and stare straight into my eyes without blinking. "Now, tell me. What's wrong?" he asked, trying to be cool but I know he's worrying about me right now.

I sighed, "It's nothing. Really."

He held my shoulders firmly which made me yelp a bit.

"Tell me now, Yerin. Is it because Jinhwan hyung?" I guessed and guess what? He is right.

I looked down to the ground as my tears streamed down my cheeks. I remained silent as I began to sobbed uncontrollably. Chanwoo pulled me into his hug while his mouth keep whispering that everything is gonna be okay. In fact, I know it will never be like what he said until Jinhwan left me alone.

"H-how am I g-going to do, Chanwoo-ya.." I sniffled like a kid in his arm.

He rubbed my back and shushed me. "What's happening to you, Yerin? You are not like this."

"I don't know either.." I cried endlessly.

He sat me down on a big rock as I stared down to the ground, still crying. How am I going to face this alone? How?!
