Who You ?

Chaerin's P.O.V

I opened the bedroom door and threw myself on the bed after slamming it close. It was really a tiring day, although I had only one class. Staring at the ceiling, I finally realised that it was the end of the week. I let out a sigh of relief. 'Finally! I can rest as long as I want.'

I stared at the ceiling blankly, thinking what caused me to be so tired this week. Jiyong. Yes, it's definitely him.

Do I love him? Or just like him as a friend?

But he is such a nice guy. He is really kind. He is willing to be my friend when no one does. He accompanied me to class, to school. I must admit that I miss those. I regret running away from me because I feel hurt whenever I'm with him and when there's Hyelin too.

Is that jealousy? Probably it is.

But why am I jealous? Why do I care so much? Why do I feel like my heart is burning whenever I see him with Hyelin? Why am I mad? Why am I angry at him?

Yes, probably it's not him. It's Hyelin who is chasing him.

My eyes finally closed after few minutes begging to be rested.

I went down for breakfast after taking a bath.

"Chaerin-ah!" called Dara unnie from the kitchen, preparing our breakfast.

"Unnie," I called back, walking towards the kitchen.

"You seem upset, since yesterday." she said, putting the pancakes on the table.
"Come, have your breakfast."

"I'm fine," I lied, sitting down on my chair.

"You're lying."

I sighed. She knows me so well.

"Well," I started sharing.
"You know Jiyong, right?" I asked.

She nodded, eating her breakfast. My breakfast was left untouched as I shared my 'problems' with her.

"Yeah, that nice guy, right?" she asked for confirmation after swallowing her food.

I smiled as the pictures of him doing nice things to me flashed in my mind.

"You like him, don't you?" Dara unnie's question brought me back to reality.

"I don't know. He is just so nice and kind to me. I mean I never saw him with any girl," I paused.
"Until recently." I continued.

"Who is she?" she asked.

"Hyelin unnie. I heard that she is his ex, like she dumped him." I explained.

"Wow, that's terrible." she commented.

"Well, it's probably a rumour." I said, defending Hyelin unnie in a way.

"But if it is true, she is so stupid to do that. I mean how can she let go such a great guy." she nagged.

I smiled. What she said is actually true. She lost a great guy, provided Jiyong still has feelings for her.

"I think I know what's happening," she said, and again bringing me back to reality.

"Mwoh?" I asked.

"You like him and you're jealous whenever you see him with Hyelin," she stated.

I sighed. I hate the fact that that's true. I hate the fact that I like Jiyong so much that it hurts me when I see him with Hyelin.

But why Hyelin? I'm really fine when I see him with another girls. Or probably I have the feeling that Jiyong likes Hyelin?

"Chaerin." she called.

I blinked and looked at her.

"Yeah, probably you're right. I'm jealous. I'm jealous whenever I see him with Hyelin." I confessed.
"But that only happens when it's Hyelin."

"I don't know what to say, really. Stay strong, alright?"

I smiled and poked my pancake with the fork and put it in my mouth.

"Probably you should forget your feelings towards him. You can still be his friends. Don't hurt his feelings too by running away from him just to prevent yourself from getting hurt." she advised.

I smiled and continued eating my breakfast.
