Chapter 8: Secrets
Secrets-One Republic
Another weird lesson. This time the room had mirrors. I mean mirrors are required for dancing lessons. However, why do we need mirrors on the ceiling? Plus the random period of time slotted in known as ‘freestyle time’. Wasn't she suppose to be teaching the history of lyrical and contemporary dance plays? AND why in a world did a random mirror ball appear at any moment she pleases? In addition, that weird girl was always emitting some sort of strange look at me. Still one must give credit when it is deserved. She is one heck of a dancer. I almost fell at a turn though. I never was this clumsy. What is up with my luck? Anyway why do I have such an uneasy feeling about her? Do I even know her?
‘The world is amazing!’ I jumped a little. ‘I know you agree.’ I glared at the smaller frame. Creep. ‘You didn’t come for the assigned sessions.’ I rolled my eyes at her. Who wants to go for counseling? What more with Hermera the mental.‘Jessica I’m helpful you know.’ I sighed. Why did she have to follow me? Doesn’t she have something more important to do? ‘I have nothing on today. So I can very well follow you till the end of the world.’ Yes I’m running our of luck today.'There is your happy face.' She beamed at me and chuckled while folling me like an annoying fly. Stupid bug.
I tried to quicken my pace. She was right beside. I came to a halt. ‘So you finally going to do things my way?’ I sighed.‘I’ll take that as a yes.’ Next, she grabs my arm and drags me to her chamber of doom. Well at least her room was cool due to the air conditioning. ‘Sit anywhere. Feel the freedom of choosing.’ She did a little twirl before taking a clip board. Next she put on a black frame glasses without frames. ‘Don’t I look more professional?’ I blankly looked at her before shaking my head. ‘Wet blanket.’ She pouted and took a sit on her sofa.
She push up her glasses and smiled at me brightly. I took a seat on her bed. ‘Ah seems like our first meeting has left a mark since you choose to sit on the place where you lied.’ I look down at the bed that I was on. The familiar yellow sheets that was still on the soft bed cushions. She is either really good or overly weird. ‘I heard you talked to Taeyeon once.’
Just by remembering that, I could feel my cheeks heating up. ‘Aww you are shy.’ I glared at her. ‘So was it a one off thing?’ Is it? Was it?’ I mean I haven’t spoken since then and Taeyeon, being herself, apparently totally understands it.‘Seems like you aren’t sure why you spoke too.’ I nodded my head. ‘Well I always knew Taengoo has some sort of charms. Never knew it would work on you. Darn! Don’t tell me I’ll be losing my 10000 won to Sooyoung.’ My jaw fell open. WAS I A BET SUBJECT?!
‘Oh don’t be mad. It is just that Sooyoung really got to me. Besides it is all for the spirit of discovering our luck.’ I dislike her. ‘By the way I went with Yul. Seemed like the perfect fit to your jammed up mouth don’t you think so?’ Yul? As in the girl who can’t stop speaking? Weird. ‘No it isn’t. Look. at it this way, opposites can attract become stronger. Makes you feel more in line with the power of speaking. I think she’ll be your lighthouse you know.’
I gave her a blank look. ‘Thats why to ensure my money to be MY money, you’re having time with her.’ Someone should inform whoever it is in charge that the doctor has finally crossed the line. ‘Come on now.’ She takes my hand and happily pulls me along. What am I? Her doll? Even with the fumes, I could only struggle against her grip for a mere 5 minutes. Curses to the freestyle time.
She opens the door and suddenly halts. Causing me to hit her back. What is wrong with her. ‘Hello there!’ I felt her grip on my hand tightened a little. ‘Exciting times isn’t it?’ That voice. I looked past the crazy doctor and there she was again. ‘Sure is Hyoyeon. Going to dance away your anger?’ Hermera’s tone was light but had a hidden sting to it.‘Maybe. Hi there love.’
