INTERVIEWER ; JHS

스물여덟 pt. 1

there was only one thing ash liked about the plane ticket back to the philippines, that it was moved and that she can extend her stay for four more days. this gave ash the idea to plan something nice for hoseok and her friends.

lately, ash had been thinking of whether to give hoseok the ring she bought for him. she bought a primise ring for hoseok the moment she knew she was leaving. ash had been loving the idea of hoseok wearing a piece of her even if she's far away from him, just to remind him that she's always there, maybe not physically but spiritually.

its been a day since the meeting with her aunt kara. luckily her aunt was staying with a friend and will be touring around seoul without her niece. she was confused, confused on how he died. even if he did do something wrong with his family, he didn't deserve to die, nobody does. she decided to ask for the answers at the right time.

since she only had four days left, she had managed to pack her stuff so that she wouldn't have to panic pack when the departure is near. she still was so against the idea of her coming back to that country, but what can she do? the other side of her family is counting on her and she can't just be selfish and say no, besides she can't say no anyway.

there was another thing bothering her though, she hadn't seen or talked to hoseok for the past two days. the last time she saw him was when they talked to her aunt kara, which actually ended with a fight.

FLASHBACK

" what if you hide from her? that way- "

" are you hearing yourself right now hoseok? i can't do that! you know i can't do that! as much as i want to not go and stay here, i can't. the other side of my family is counting on me and i can't let them down " she said aggravated.

" you know long distance won't work! we both that we're just fooling ourselves " he yelled as he stood up

" well how do you know that won't work unless we try? you can't just say- " she said as she tried to calm him down. she reached for his hand but he took his hand away which surprised ash. she had never seen this side of hoseok, which according to his group members were very rare to see.

" you know what, i need some time alone. i need to think " he said before grabbing his keys and leaving the apartment. leaving ash a crying mess.

END

she sighed as she stopped packing her stuff, it was currently 10:57 PM. she needed to take her mind off of everything and just focus on herself. just then, a ringing sound came from her phone. she looked at the contact name and saw the contact name, it was hoseok. without any hesitations, she picked it up.

" hoseok? thank god you called- "

" uh hello? is this ash? kim ashelle? " a feminine voice said through the phone. it was definitely not hoseok.

" uh y-yes, hello? "

" oh hello, uh can you come pick up hoseok? he's wasted and i can't bring him back again to his dorm..." the girl said

again? what does she mean again? , ash thought.

" o-oh yeah sure, w-where is he? "

" i'll send you the address " was the last thing she said before hanging up. ash looked at the phone for awhile, still confused. she stood up and quickly changed before getting in a taxi and going to the address that was sent to her.
