sorry » im youngmin

4.0

it was almost 11pm when we arrived at our school after our school trip to gamcheon culture village and a history museum. the trip was a part of our post exam activities and it was really such a great break from books.

youngmin went with his friends to grab coffee at the starbucks cafe near our school. so it simply means that i will be going home alone. honestly, going home alone at night is what i dread the most. being alone, i will only be surrounded by my negative thoughts. that explains why i'm always sticking to youngmin and my other friends.

i sighed and made my way home. it was a fun day but it was tiring as well. during the trip, we walked alot and now, the soles of my feet were breaking. the cold air blew, making me shiver as my clothes were relatively thin in this winter night. the walk home alone was much longer than expected. my legs were aching it was getting uncomfortable. furthermore, the cold weather is making my muscles more tense.

i ran out of hot packs and i have to survive the cold night, alone. i was getting uncomfortable as the only ones i see on the streets are men. my palms were sweating despite the cold weather. i was scared. being alone, i'm only filled with anxiety, self-conciousness and also my negative thoughts and i hate it. i cursed youngmin under my breath because he knew that i'm scared to be alone. yet, he just left a girl to walk alone on the streets at night. great friend huh?

but thankfully, i made it home in one piece. i noticed my phone vibrating in my pocket and looked to see 5 missed calls from youngmin and 29 unread messages.

after i read his last message, he called me again. i answered his call.

"oh my god, thank you. i was worried."

"youre panting oh my god, did you really run?"

"just in case you got raped or kidnapped or murdered, you'd think i wouldnt run? what kind of a friend do you think i am?"

"can you watch your words, gosh"

"okay sorry babe i was just joking. you'd never be the- because i'll- i'll reach your house in like 2 minutes. i'll pass you the things i bought for you"

"mmhm"

by the time i ended the call, my head were lying on the dining table. i just wanted to sleep right there and then. the doorbell made me wake up from my doze. i opened the door to see youngmin flashing his eyesmile. he handed me a plastic bag and waved before he walked to his apartment next to mine. i closed the door and placed the plastic bag in the fridge. i made my way to my bed in which i immediately fall into a deep sleep. thank god it was a friday.
