Lynh
"Hey Truc! You're meant to be going to school! Get out of bed!" I yell from outside my sister's room. She knows she has school today, why is she taking so long? She should be done by now. I'm gonna be late for work if she doesn't come out in five minutes.
I don't have enough patience and walk into the room to see Truc, shivering on her bed. I widen my eyes and run over to her. Her forehead is very hot and she's sweating a lot.
"You have a fever," I say. "Can you sit up?"
She tries to sit up but instantly falls back. She looks so pale and weak.
"Let me call the school and get you some medicine," I say and go downstairs.
I call the school first before I forget and tell them that Truc isn't going to school today. I call my aunty, who's working at the chicken shop to call up another worker because I'm taking the day off to take care of Truc.
After the call, I go through all the cupboards and try looking for medicine for headaches and fevers. I can't find any though. I swear I bought some last week. Shit! My eyes widen in realisation. Mum and dad took it just in case they were going to get sick. They didn't leave any either. I rub the back of my head and close my eyes in frustration as I walk into my sister's room.
"Hey, we ran out of medicine so I need to quickly run to the pharmacy. Do you think you'll be ok alone?" I say.
"I'm just gonna be on this bed. I can't move anywhere," she says and rolls her eyes.
"Okay, I'm gonna go now. If you need anything call me, okay?" I say as I start to walk out the room.
"Lynh! Wait! Don't you have work today?" I turn to see Truc's turned head as she gives me a worried look.
"Nah, I'm taking the day off to take care of you," I say and leave the room. I grab my things that I need and leave the house. I listen to 2NE1's song 'Missing you' whilst walking to the pharmacy.
Once I reach the pharmacy, I'm greeted by an old man behind the counter. I grab the medicine I need and pay for it.
"Thank you," I say with a bow and grab the plastic bag.
I start walking out the pharmacy and put my earphones back on to a different song which was Taeyeon's song 'I' I suddenly hit a hard chest and I slightly stumble backwards and drop the plastic bag.
"Oh I'm sorry," the student says and I instantly recognise his voice. Hoseok. I quickly stand up and move my hair out of my face. I look up at him and his eyes widen.
"Lynh," he says and I stare back at him.
We both bend down at the same time to grab my plastic bag and accidently touch each other's hand. I quickly pull my hand away and stand up straight. He stands up straight with a hint of pink on his cheeks and hands me the plastic bag. He brushes his hands on his school uniform and awkwardly coughs.
"Are you sick?" he says with a bit of a worried tone. I look at him with a small smile and shake my head. My heart flutters of the thought of him still caring for me.
"It's for Truc," I say and he nods. There's an awkward silence between us which I wish was never there. I wish it was like before.
"I should get going. Truc is waiting for me at home," I say.
"Oh yeah, I should get going to school," he says and we both bow and go our own separate ways.
I can feel my eyes start to tear up. My hearts aches so much for his love but I know it won't happen again. I hear running steps behind me but decide to ignore, thinking it was someone else.
I feel arms wrap around my waist and I gasp in shock. I instantly know who it is and feel tears slowly go down my cheeks. I start to push his arms but he holds me tighter.
"Hoseok, l-let go. I need to go home," I say with a small sniffle.
"Just let me do this to you once," he whispers in my ear. I stop moving around knowing that it was no good and it would do nothing. He rests his head on my shoulder and whispers to me about how much he has missed me. I cry silently hating that I couldn't be stronger.
He suddenly pulls away from me and kisses the back of my neck and runs away. I tense up and stay still for a while. I start to cry and walk home, the long way. I listen to different songs on my playlist and try to calm myself down.
My phone starts to ring and I ignore it but after 2 or 3 rings I pick up not looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" I say while sniffling.
"Hey, where are you? Why are you taking so long?" I hear my sister over the phone, sounding very worried. Why wouldn't she? She's been waiting for me for about an hour. I sigh and close my eyes.
"I'm close by so don't worry," I say.
"Lynh, are you okay? Are you crying?" Truc says and I start to silently cry to myself. Why must she know me so well?
"I'll see you at home."
"Wai-"she says and I quickly hang up, not wanting to hear her ask about what was wrong.
'What's wrong?' I asked myself. What's wrong is that I'm still deeply in love with Jung Hoseok.
