Diaries of a Distance

Chapter 13

Friday, 3rd September...

I tried making it through the day without thinking about it. But I couldn't. How could anyone take their mind off something like that? No. Not me.

"Kwon Yura!" Mr. Jung said loudly.

Back in reality. I realised the whole class was staring at me.

"Huh?"

"I asked you what your answer is for question 8 in exercise 12a", he replied.

I quickly opened my book.

"Is everything OK Yura?" Tae Hee asked me for the 5th time this lunchtime.

"Yes."

The fairies all gave me a concerned look.

"Your hair's really wavy today..." Mi Mi pointed out.

"Does my hair really reflect my mood that much?" I asked monotonously.

They all nodded.

"You really did doze off a lot in class", Soo Jin said.

"I didn't sleep."

"Then what were you thinking about?" Da Ni asked.

"Nothing."

I continued jabbing at food with the spoon.

[Jae Wook's POV]

She's been avoiding me a lot lately, but today she just seemed lost. I looked at her lazily playing with her food, not touching it.

"Jae Wook", Dong Wook called.

"What?"

"What are you staring at?" he said following my eyes. "Oh... Kwon Yura. You like her don't you?"

"Maybe."

He nudged me, "What was with the kiss then huh?"

I ignored him and continued looking at Yura.

[Dong Wook's POV]

He definitely does. Look at the way he's staring at her. *shivers*

[Jae Wook's POV]

I sat at my usual table watching the people go crazy all over the club. Then I saw the behind of a familiar person taking the dance floor. She danced for a long time before heading off to the bar. She ordered a drink, alcohol I assumed, and thrust her head back drinking it all down in one go.

That's when I realised who it was.

[Yura's POV]

Still not working. I don't usually go this crazy, but hearing what I did yesterday, it's definitely enough to drive anyone crazy. Dancing, drinking, it's just not working.

"Another one", I said to the same bartender I met last time.

I thought Liberator would be the last place I'd turn to, but being the only club I know of, I decided to come anyway. Somewhere in my mind, I knew that I came here hoping for a glimpse of him.

The bartender placed the bottle in front of me. I grabbed it and was about to gurgle it down in one go again when I felt a hand grasp my arm. It was Jae Wook.

Using his other hand, he took the bottle from me and put it down in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I should be the one asking. What are you doing here?" he said.

"I asked first."

He let go of my arm and sat down next to me.
