It's strange and I'm afraid.
+a/n: just so yall know the lyrics are all from beautiful heh.
Rae stared outside her window her filled with negative thoughts. She couldn't stop thinking about what Daehwi had called her the other day, instead of forgetting about it, it stuck to her mind like glue.
The girl didn't want to think more about the word he's called her as she might just go down memory lane, where all the darkness was left, where the downfall of her life was, where she wanted to be gone. Just like people say, words leave scars in your heart and it did for her.
She wanted to forget every single negative thing that was said and done to her, she wanted to forget that's why she taught herself to love.
People say loving someone could make you forget, it's true but what if it could make you remember all the painful situations you've been through? Is that what they call bittersweet?
Rae taught herself to love, that's what she's doing to Jihoon yet why is she still getting hurt? She's done good to him by helping him with his father's medication, what more does life want for her to get the love back?
She gave him attention yet he didn't.
She did everything yet Jihoon never looked her way, what did she need to do in order for him to do the same?
Let him be with Minji. Her conscience told her.
Rae shook her head, she didn't want to and she wasn't planning to. He likes Jihoon and he's the only person who could lead her to the path of love, she needed him.
But does he need you? Once again, her conscience spoke.
The girl sighed, returning to her bed, sitting on the right edge of it.
Rae: hey jihoon, how's work? :)

The girl tossed her phone next to her sighing.
*
+a/n: i figured i havent told yall what the difference between a '>>' and a '*' in my book lmao. ok so a '>>' means a fast forward and a '*' means it's a scene breaker along with two scenes happening at the same time of the day.
"It's about you and I hope you don't get angry or anything . . "
Minji's heart raced faster, she didn't know what they were trying to say but it wouldn't be that bad, right? It made her more nervous that it should be but she didn't know why.
"Tell me straightforwardly. We've noticed your distance with Jihoon . . did you two perhaps break up?" Her father carefully asked, it was now his turn to examine her face, looking for any signs of her emotion.
Her heart leaped with sadness though she kept a straight cold-stone face. "Yes . ." Minji quietly answered, looking down at her food.
Her father sighed in disappointment though he already prepared for the worst. Minji's mother placed her hand on top of her daughter's, lightly patting it indicating the comfort she was giving Minji.
"Minji . . this is 2 times in a row now. Aren't you sorry for yourself? I mean- my advice for you is to just focus on school, hm? No more dating until you finish your senior year or they'll have to convince me. Exams are coming up after your senior prom, focus on that."
"Yes, dad." She softly spoke.
And with that, he left, walking up to his shared room with her mother causing Minji to close her eyes, sighing. "Don't worry, your father isn't angry with you, please understand him. It isn't easy for a parent seeing their child suffering just because of a boy." Her mother softly spoke.
"I know Jihoon is a great guy, maybe he has his own reasons too on why he did that. Not that I'm saying it's your fault, all I'm saying is instead of hurting those people who hurt you, understand their situation and reason first." She smiled at her as Minji opened her eyes which was now sparkly.
Minji didn't know why she suddenly felt completely sad after she heard her dad say 'no more dating til you finish senior year.' Was she still hoping that Jihoon liked her? Or was she afraid that her feelings for Jihoon will slowly disappear?
Or both?
"I know. I tried understanding him, Mom. But it just didn't make sense, nothing is adding up." She sighed, leaning back her wooden dining chair.
"You don't always have to get it straight away. Sometimes it takes time to understand, just like love. Sooner or later, the answers are going to come running to you."
This is the best for you. Minji thought.
But what if it wasn't the best for her heart?
>>
"How are you feeling?" Jihoon smiled, giving his father's hand a light squeeze. The boy had just came back from his work, his body covered with the scent of freshly made coffee.
"Better than ever, thanks to your mother, you . . a-and Rae." He hesitantly spoke but placed a smile upon his lips nonetheless.
Jihoon's smile fell a little but hid it well, "You're getting discharged tomorrow, I'm happy that you're back home. Mom and I have been so lonely without you around." He chuckled, staring at the plain white sheets.
His dad chuckled, "I miss our house."
His chuckled soon faded away, Mr.Park cleared his throat and propped himself up directly looking at Jihoon.
The boy gave him a confused face, "Wha-" "Are you really going to let go of her like that? I know you love her with all your heart but it doesn't always have to end like this. All those effort you put in to yourself so she could notice you, are you just going to leave it behind and act like it never happened?" His father asked, making Jihoon inwardly sigh.
"I-i don't know. She hates me." He shrugged, staring down at his hands that were now rested on top of his lap.
"What if she doesn't? She loved you, it takes a long time to hate someone when you've completely given your heart to them, or it might not even happen." His dad, replied causing Jihoon to look up. Hope sparking around his body.
"Well . . I don't know. I need to sort myself out. Also, like Woojin told me, I need to give her space." Jihoon sighed, the words softly rolling off his lips.
"Just remember to take care of yourself. It's okay to cry, it's okay to be defeated as long as you're not hurting others." His father gave him a smile, giving him a good pat on the back.
