Stay

Chapter 2

Third Person

"Damn it." Sooyoung silently hissed as soon as she entered her room. She closed the door harshly and a loud thud was heard. Jimin who was supposed to take a selfie on the balcony automatically diverted his eyes on Sooyoung's door. Mr. Park turned his head towards the door while talking to someone over the phone. Her mom on the other hand, was about to take shower when Sooyoung shut the door. All attention went to her room. She knows that, but she doesn't care.

'Stupid Taehyung!' She continued shouting in her mind knowing that everyone else in the house is paying their attention in her room.

Due to so much anger and hatred she's been handling for the past days, her hands automatically reached the flower vase on the side table and throw it somewhere. She sighed in relief but the noise created by the glass made everyone run towards her door, literally.

"Yah! Park Sooyoung! What's the matter? " Her mom shouted with nervousness evident in her voice. Sooyoung's eyes were focused on the broken glass. She didn't hear any word her mom said.

"Park Sooyoung answer me! " she shouted on top of her lungs. Jimin was about to reach for the doorknob to open the door for their parents but his father stopped him.

"What? " they curiously asked. Patting Jimin's right shoulder, he gestured them to exit.

"By what if---" Jimin wasn't able to complete his sentence when their father looked back.

"Give her some time. " he said with assurance. Perhaps it is what Sooyoung needs the most during this kind of situation. They sighed heavily and left.

But they are wrong. It is not the reason why their daughter is acting that way.

Blinking her eyes for a couple of times, she woke up from reality. Right, she's been spacing out a lot lately. Why is she even affected? Tsk delusional. She chuckled a little and laugh at herself. 'He doesn't even care for me", she thought. Seconds later, her phone rang. Without even glancing who the caller was, she answered the phone with knitted brows.

"WHAT?!" It wasn't her intention to be that rude. She's just.... a little annoyed.

"Whoaaa! Chill there dude. " shivers went through her spine after hearing that voice. Her blood rushed in her veins and started to boil. She took a look on the phone screen and gave a disgusting look. Great timing man.

"What the hell do you want Kim? " the person on the other line chuckled at her behavior. 'Why the hell would he call?' She frowned.

"You seems so annoyed. Any problem?"

"It's none of your business. Just tell what you need or else --" sooyoung wasn't able to finish her words when a deep voice butted in.

"You. "

Sooyoung was taken aback. She didn't expect that one. But then, loud laughs was clearly heard. 'Oh yeah he's just fooling around, ' she thought. Rolling her eyes for the nth time, she ended the call and threw her phone somewhere. She let our a deep sigh and decided to sleep it off.

The following day, a call from one of her friends woke her up. She immediately cleaned herself and made a way to her walk in closet to get some clothes to wear. After finishing everything that is needed to be done, she immediately reached for the door knob and closed the door again after going out of her room.

"Where are you going?" A man's voice from the balcony made her flinch and turn around.

"Good morning too, dude" she sarcastically said without answering her brother's question. The latter just raised his brows and rolled his eyes. Tch so gay.

"Breakfast is ready. You should at least join us for breakfast before going back to your condo." She stated at Jimin for a while before nodding her head to agree.

"Fine. Besides, I won't be home for maybe like two weeks from now. Our exam is fast approaching and I have to study well to pass my subjects. And of course I don't want to be such a disappointment." She honestly said with a blank expression before turning around and went inside the dining.

She silently eat while her parents and brother tries not to bring out a topic she never wanted to discuss. She quickly finished her good and his goodbye without looking back. Mrs. Park just sighed heavily. But this is for her own good.

"ARE YOU EVEN SERIOUS?"

The red haired girl rolled her eyes for the seventh time around this day before facing the shorter girl with a poker face on.

"Do I look like I'm joking here Kim Yerim?"

The latter just giggled knowing how pissed Sooyoung is right now. The two of them are currently in the living room of their condominium. Yep, Sooyoung together with her four friends are living together with the permission of their parents of course.
"Don't think about it so much Sooyoung-ah. " Wendy calmly said while approaching the young lad with hands holding a tupperware of freshly baked cookies inside who was probably in the kitchen a while ago. "Besides, you only have limited time now. Savor this moment of your life. "

Sooyoung managed to let out a smile which is obviously an awkward one. Wendy sighed as she watch her eat cookies while spacing out. 'Can I really do this?' She thought.

"DID SOMEONE PERHAPS SAW MY PRINGLES?"

Their attention went to the girl with messy hair and her left eye closed.  Obviously, she just woke up. The guts of this girl. It's already eleven in the morning for Pete's sake!

"I remember leaving it here last night before I went on the shower but now it's ... gone. " Her eyes narrowed for a while. "Who the hell took it?" She sternly asked.

Just as she finished her question, none them dared to talk. Silence filled the room but after few seconds, soft crunches were heard. With wide eyes, the three turned their heads to the youngest who is sitting comfortably in the sofa near the television, awkwardly chewing something. She let out a silly smile and prepared herself to run.

"KIM YERIM!" Seulgi shouted on the top of her lungs. And as if a cue, Yeri instantly ran away disarranging everything her little hands manage to get.

"YAH! I THOUGHT THIS IS NOT YOURS!" Yerie tries to defend herself.

"You brat!"

"Whoah!"

"Give it back!"

"Na-ah! "

"Hey stop it!"

Is it just Sooyoung or Seulgi and Yeri almost ruined their whole condo unit? I mean, everything is a whole mess. Literally.

The four girls widened their eyes when the door suddenly flunged open.

"Why did y'all stopped?"
