Just a Kiss 》WinWin

Seven 》 Am I a bad friend?

Hae Soo's Pov:
It was now the next morning and time had seemed to go by extremely slowly. I was hurrying to get ready in hopes of getting to class a bit early. I really wanted to talk to Sicheng and see what has been going on with him. Who knows? Maybe he knew something about Hye Gin and why she has been skipping out on class too. I shivered at the thought of that, actually hoping that he had no idea. I wanted to know but not if it had anything to do with him, that would only hurt my heart more. I know that I sounded selfish and had no right to be jealous over a boy who wasn't even mine but she knew for a fact that I liked him, who would do that to their best friend?

I hate that I had started to doubt Hye Gin because she was basically the only friend I had, even Sicheng and I weren't close enough to consider each other friends. I shook the thoughts away, thinking of how many friends I had lost over the years and Hye Gin was one of the only ones I had left, I should trust her because I really don't want to lose her. But how could I trust her when a crush was blinding me from seeing the truth. Shoving my thoughts into the back of my mind, I walked into the building that lead to my first class. I frowned inwardly as I saw the same old hallways and the ceiling that looks like it could crash down at any given moment. Then again, I wouldn't blame the ceiling if it did. What am I saying? The ceiling doesn't choose what it does, ughh, I just really needed a break from all of this.

I rushed into my class and was surprised to see Hye Gin sitting in her usual seat so I sat down in mine and waited for Sicheng. After class had started, I realized that he wasn't going to show. That was about the time I heard my phone vibrate. I looked down, trying to hide the fact that I was on my phone and opened the text. 'Hae Soo, I am so sorry, I won't be in class today. My new friends wouldn't let me go. I will talk to you as soon as I can and explain everything' it read. I sighed and turned my phone off and laid my head on the desk, disappointed. These friends of his were not good influences at all.

I finally decided to text back 'It is okay, I am not surprised' and he quickly texted back, almost instantly and said 'What is that suppose to mean?' I sighed again and typed back 'Those friends of yours seem like bad influences. I have no right to tell you who you can and cannot hang out with but you need to think about things more carefully and realize that your school work is more important.' I read over it before I decided to send it. 'I just really care about you Sicheng, I hope you know that.' I typed but quickly deleted it. After that, I realized that he wasn't going to type back, he just left me on read. I finally decided to put my phone away and attempt to talk to Hye Gin without the teacher noticing. "Hye Gin" I said, getting her attention.

"What is it?" She whispered back. "Where have you been lately? You have been skipping class and I was worried about you" I said quietly. "Oh, that, ummm, I made some friends and they wanted me to hang out with them" she said before turning back around to look at her notebook. 'New friends' I thought, sounded a lot like Sicheng's story. "What friends?" I asked. "Ummm, you know, Lee Mi Na and her friends" she said, instantly making me sigh. "Lee Mi Na is disgusting, her and her friends are just using you" I said, making her really mad.

"Oh yeah, well sorry that I wanted some new friends and for a matter of fact, they have talked to me more than you have lately. You have been ignoring me since the moment Sicheng showed up." She said angrily before slamming her notebook and getting her things and walking right out of the classroom, ignoring the calls of our teacher. "Kim Hae Soo, what did you do this time?" He said, making me slam my head into my notebook and wait for the class to be over with. As I walked to my next class, I began to wonder, had I been ignoring Hye Gin? I guess I had just been too blinded by my crush to notice how sad she had been. I mentally slapped myself as I began to feel like a horrible friend.

I had most likely just lost my only friend at this school and I was awaiting the hellish days to come. It was going to be really awkward if she didn't talk to me anymore due to the fact that we were roommates. Then again, she had seemingly been avoiding me since she had been sneaking off like every day to go to wherever it was that she always went to. I just wish I had some answers. All I got from Hye Gin was lies and all I got from Sicheng was just his pretty face that makes my heart melt every time I see it. Something wasn't right here and I really needed to know, so far my only hope was Sicheng whenever he would finally decide to tell me what has been going on with him. I was mad at him for not letting me know what happened cause I was worried about him but at the same time, I can't be mad at him because he was too incredibly cute. The struggles were beginning to be real.

Annyeong, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will do my best to get more into the story soon. Next chapter will probably be from Hye Gin's POV. Thank you for reading! ~-winney-
