Steal My Sunshine

Chapter 15// I Sincerely Apologize

Moonbyul's POV

I am gaining curiosity as to who was Solar hanging out with. Someone I didn't know apparently...

She was gone for a whole 3 hours. It was going on 7. I got paranoid. I kept checking my phone for a sign or some sort of her telling me her whereabouts. Nothing. I started pacing the room until Hwasa enters. I widen my eyes and run towards her.

"Oh my gosh, you look so pale," she says, feeling my forehead. "Are you sick?"

I shrug. I didn't care about my health, I was worried about something even more important. I bounced on the balls of my feet. "Hwasa, have you seen Solar?"

"No. She went out...I was looking for Wheein in the library because we agreed to study.." Hwasa sighs. "University exams are coming up. I want to get into a great college for music and arts."

I started pacing again as Hwasa blabbered about her future plans. I barely paid any attention to the words coming out her mouth. I was feeling very anxious. I eventually felt light-headed so I sat down and ate a pocky stick. I was panicking. I began to reach for my phone and text her.

Me: Where are you? I am worried out of my mind.

I waited for a response. No answer. For two more hours. It was going on curfew hour. I hear footsteps near our door. I suspected it was a teacher or something, but it was Wheein...and Solar following closely behind. I stood up, sweating bullets. Youngsun just looks at me. She gives me a cautious look.

"Moonbyul you don't look to well!" she exclaims.

I frown at her. "Where were you? I was worried about you!"

Youngsun looks over and looks back at me. "I was just with a  friend. That's all."

"Youngsun, I am not playing around. Who is this friend? Why are they holding you captive all day. I was going insane!" I started yelling. Youngsun's face was relieved of 0 emotion. I got even angrier. My heart was sinking to the ground. I didn't feel it anymore.

"Moon Byul...."Wheein interjects. I look at her extra angry.

"What do you want?" I ask her, my voice full of venom.

"Nevermind..."Wheein says looking at Youngsun. I started bawling and begging for some explanation as to what I am missing. All Youngsun did was ask was I sick.

"I didn't eat at all because you scared me! I am worried about you! But you didn't bother to answer my text!" I started bawling. Did she really care about my feelings. I felt disregarded.

"Moonbyul...go to bed. I wish to explain but its harmless. I went out with a friend."

I roll my eyes and pull my covers up to my chest. "Aren't you gonna lay with me?"

Youngsun climbs in beside me and leaves her body cover-less. The lights turn off. I still felt alone though she was beside me. She was hiding something from me.

I didn't sleep at all. I just looked at the ceiling. Youngsun was lightly snoring beside me. I looked at her. She looked so cute. My heart was not pounding though. It was slowly breaking.

I eventually blacked out.

The next day, I wake to see Youngsun not beside me. She was sitting with Wheein and just talking. I started to feel a pain in my chest.

"Ah...our Moonbyul is awake." Solar wraps her arms around me. I started pressing my lips in a tight line.

"How did you sleep?" she asks me.

"You are acting like nothing happened yesterday," I sigh, feeling winded in my chest. "I am hurting badly."

"I was with ..."

"Wheein." I shake out of her embrace. She gives me a bewildered look. I glare back. "Don't look so surprised. It took me a while to connect the dots."

Youngsun looks off to the side. "Well I was."

"What were you two doing?" I ask in a hurt tone. I felt a lump in my throat. It was burning. I wanted to cry.

Youngsun gave me a glance then lookef at Wheein. "Look...Moonbyul I was just hang..."

"No. You two were doing something." I cleared my throat. "You know what. That's good for you. I am so done with you right now." I get up.

"No Moonbyul wait!" Youngsun croaks. She grabs my arm. I jerk away from her.

"I won't be letting this fly. I can't believe you sabotaged us. I love you a lot."

Youngsun starts to cry. I walk off, not caring. She obviously didn't care when she left me without a notice or a reply or anything.

Just a phony kiss.

Youngsun's POV

"I wish we didn't go to your house," I say to Wheein.

Wheein grabs my waist. "But we got to know each other and I am falling in love with you."

I blush but I shook my head. "Look, I love Moonbyul."

"She obviously is giving up on you two," Wheein sneers.

I felt a stab in my heart. I just glance at Wheein. "Don't play like that."

"She walks away all the time. Where is the communication?"

"I am going to go find her." I start to walk but Wheein presses me against the wall. I block her lips with my arm. "No, Wheein."

"Can we keep what we have between us?"

"We CAN'T! MY RELATIONSHIP IS ALREADY IN DANGER!!" Wheein kisses my lips shut. I push her off. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Wheein frowns. "I thought we were there. After spring break...."

"That one day meant the world to you? These six months with my girlfriend means the universe to me!" I exclaim hoping I hurt Wheein. "And YESTERDAY! Forget it...you can't seduce me anymore."

Wheein rolled her eyes. "Solar...we aren't finished. Just watch. When Moonbyul crushes your heart, you will run into my arms."

"You wish."

I run to find Moonbyul. She isn't anywhere. Not even the rooftop. I saw a note there though. I read it.

Dear Youngsun,
      I hope you will be happy. I already took my college exam last week. I was free to do whatever. I only stayed because of you. But I guess you don't care. I loved you. But I suppose this is the end. Not every story has happy ending. Ours shall end sourly.
     ~Moon Byul Yi-sshi

I start to cry. She left already. I will never see her again probably. I look at the ground. Our love story ended sourly
