Missing You (Woozi [SEVENTEEN] ff)

Chapter 10: Hidden Feelings

"Childhood friend?" Jihoon's eyebrows furrowed because of confusion. Soonyoung nod in response and look at Jihoon attentively.

"I've found her and I'm sure of it." Soonyoung said making Jihoon's eyes lit up still unable to grasp the situation. "The one who bumped into you on our first day at school and our classmate." Jihoon flashed on his mind the day he first met you and gaze at Soonyoung when he got hold of the words to say.

"Don't tell me..."

You're eyes slowly opened and saw Seungkwan asleep, the second you blink your eyes you realized that his face is leaning down and just a few inch away from your face. You snap out of it and carefully pulled away his hands from your waist and got up from his lap but you accidentally bump your head to his, making him woke up and both groaned in pain. You immediately ran away from him and laugh sarcastically as you head towards your room.

"What's her problem?" Seungkwan rubbed his head as he watched you ran upstairs, still half asleep. He yawn and was about to went back to sleep when his phone rang and answered the call.

"Joshua?"

You jumped to your bed and lay down. You stare at the ceiling, the diary keeps on bothering you that even yourself don't know that those things happened to you when you're still young. But you thought this will help you learn about your past and learn more about yourself. You sat up and reached for the box under your bed where the diary is. You opened the box and flipped the pages of the diary.

"Umm where did I stop..." you mumbled. "Ah! Found you!"

I opened my locker and it was full of trash, it's them again huh. There's also a note saying that I should stay away from that boy. This mess is getting worse ever since that boy transferred.

During PE class, the teacher told us to run 10 loops warm up before the actual activity. I started to run behind my classmates but when I got ahead of them, someone pushed me making me fall the ground. The boy saw me and came to my rescue and offered his hand but I gave him a cold look and shoved him away saying that I don't need his help. I stood up and continued running, leaving him behind without looking back.

After class, my fake friend come up to me and give me a glare. She accused me for telling to our teacher about her bullying. I kept on telling her I didn't but she's not convinced so the guy beside her grabbed my collar and pushed me against the wall. Our classmates have gone home so there's no one here who'll come and save me but I'm surprised that the boy walked in and ran towards my direction. I told him to stay away but he ignored me and glared at them. The guy turned to him and punch his face but my fake friend stop him because it's not fun anymore and walked out the classroom. I asked the boy why he keeps on pestering me and he just said 'Because you're my friend.'

What happened on the classroom that day keeps playing on my mind. I felt guilty for that boy because of the cruel things I did to him like it never happened. I still have doubt but I think that he's not the type of person who would lie. I wanted to approach but him but it's like someone is telling me not to go near him so I never had the chance to talk to him for the rest of the day. Instead I went to the lake that is isolated so that I could let out my feelings without interruption. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth but before I could shout, someone called me making me jump and lose my balance and fell into the water. I thought I was going to die that time but before I lost consciousness, I felt a pair of hands and pulled me out of the water. I was in a complete shock when I saw who it was, the boy whom I always hated. I wanted to say thanks but the words won't come out from my mouth and then he interrupted by asking for my name. I told him mine and he smiled with his teeth showing off before saying his name. His name was Jihoon, Lee Jihoon.
