Suzie

2 - grief

Exactly two days after the incident, I was informed that my three year long boyfriend has passed away. Jiseok saved me and eyepatch.

I sat in my room and stared at the wall of Polaroid photos. Almost all of them were with jiseok. Some were with my best friend. I slowly got up with tears forming in my eyes and walked towards the wall. I placed my finger on jiseok's face on my favorite picture of us. I lifted my right arm and wiped the rolling tears on my face away and turned around to get my school bag.

Moving on is the best way to deal with grief I thought to myself. I grabbed my keys and my bag and wore my shoes and quickly headed out. I was an hour early but I didn't want to stay in the house of memories any longer.

The moment I came out, I saw my best friend in front of the door with crossed arms, and a concerned face.

"Yah. You should've called." She said

"Seohyun?" I asked confused with my brows furrowed

"I was around your block and got a call from my mom. I heard the news. You okay?" She asked. Of course my mom tells everything to her mom. Seohyun and I were best friends and so were my mom and her mom. News spread quickly to her family.

"Ah. Let's go. I'll buy coffee." I recommended not wanting to touch the subject at all.

Seohyun sighed and walked next to me as we were going to the cafe.

"Aren't you late for class?" I asked breaking our silence

"No. i start in thirty minutes. " she replied

"What about you?" She asked

"I'm an hour early." I replied.

We entered the cafe and were greeted as we took our seats. Seohyun sat down and I put my bag down as I got to the counter.

"Can I have two regular hazelnut coffees?" I asked

"Ok that will be 2.50$" the cashier said

I handed her the money and smiled as I waited for the drinks to come out.

------------------/moments later/-----------------

"Now your late." I mentioned as we exited the cafe and headed towards school.

"Were in college. They don't do those attendance things anymore." She snickered as she took a sip from her drink.

"Did you put milk in this?" She asked

"Yes I did."

"No you didn't." She glared

"Be thankful I got you coffee." I smirked

She laughed as we took the taxi to our school. I was burdened when I got into this college because I only got a half scholarship. My mom couldn't afford to pay college so I was worried.

We got off the taxi moments later in front of our school.

"I have to run. I forgot papers were due today." Seohyun said waving goodbye running with her short legs, a trench coat, a black turtle neck, and black pants with shoes. Today she chose a good outfit I thought to myself.

I walked to my class which was in the art building on campus. I took my seat all the way in the corner and took out my sketch book. This building had many art talents and many dancers, singers, and composed as well. It always fascinating to see people with instruments on their backs.

I took out my drawing pencil and started to sketch out the model that was posing on the stand. I was on time for class, actually twenty minutes early. But there were kids here already like always.

I started to draw her and her pose. The guy next to me kept making sounds with his mouth because he was eating. It was aggravating since it was right next to me and that it was supposed to be quiet.

I turned my head towards him and gave him a stank eye.

He still wouldn't turn around. I saw the name tag and it read 'park'

"Hey. You." I called out to him

"Yea?" He asked with chips in his mouth

"Can you like.. stop eating I'm trying to concentrate." I asked

"Oh sorry, I didn't have time for breakfast." He replied

"Breakfast? Your twenty minutes early." I said looking at the clock then facing back at him

"Yea I know."

"What?" That doesn't make any sense

"Don't ask. I don't want to be home right now." He said in a gloomy tone

"Oh. Well, ok." Was all I said. He must have something on his mind that's bothering him right now.

We faced our sketchbooks and started to draw again.

After the period ended he dragged me outside the classroom.

"What?" I asked

"Are you Suzie?" He asked

"Yes. Why?" I asked. He's weird already.

"You know jiseok?" He asked.

How does he know jiseok?..

"Yes. Why are you asking me that." I asked curiously.

"Never mind. You look oddly happy today if I'm correct." He asked with one eyebrow raising up.

"What do you mean? Then you want a person to be sad?" I asked

"No. it's not that. Never mind, I'm holding you up for your next class. See you around Daisy." He waved bye

Daisy? Only a few people know that... how does he know..

"Hey! Wait up! I didn't ask what was your name yet!" I yelled
