Diaries of a Distance

Chapter 28

All of a sudden it occurred to me that he had disappeared without a word and I pushed back from him. Jae Wook looked down questioningly at me but didn't get a chance to say anything because the crowd had managed to lift him up and got him crowd surfing.

"Mi Mi, where's Tae Hee?"

"Oh yeah... Da Ni where is she?"

"Where is who?"

"Tae Hee."

"I wasn't paying attention... Soo Jin, where's Tae Hee?"

"Who pays attention to Tae Hee when Seoul Stars just won?"

Brutally honest. The Seoul crowd still hasn't calmed down. Daegu High students on the other hand, were keeping a low profile.

People were starting to go home now. I want to stay and celebrate but there's no point if Jae Wook's going to be missing the whole night.

"I have to go home now", said Mi Mi.

"I'll come with you. I'm tired", Da Ni said. "Coming Yura? Soo Jin?"

"I have something to do..." Soo Jin replied.

"I'll attempt finding Jae Wook one more time", I answered.

"I'll come with you!" Soo Jin volunteered.

I sighed. "If you find one Wook you'll find the other."

She nodded. Soo Jin was thinking of her lover boy Dong Wook.

We parted with Da Ni and Mi Mi and descended down the steps. It was packed due to people either climbing down to try to touch a Seoul Star, or people climbing up to try and live. It was very stuffy in here. Good thing I'm skilled at this, pushing my way through the crowd.

I finally got to the side where DBSG's change rooms were. No one wanted to be on the losing side of things so the area was clearer.

"Soo Jin", I called.

No reply. I turned around but she wasn't there. She must have lost me in the crowd. One person I did find standing in front of me... was Chae Rin.

"Congratulate Jae Wook oppa for me."

"You should do that yourself", I said. I didn't mean it in a nasty way.

"My school's team just lost. What makes you think I'd go running off to Jae Wook oppa straight after?" She snapped. "I know what you think of me, but I'm not that bad."

"I know you're not. But if you want to tell Jae Wook something, you should do it yourself. You are his godsister", I reminded her.

She glanced me over and stalked off. Right, what's that suppose to mean?

I turned my head here and there until I spotted a hooded figure slipping away into the corridor. I ran after the figure.

"GOT YOU!" I yelled, jumping onto his back.

I yanked the hood off and Park Jae Wook's face turned to look at me.

"Yah Kwon Yura. You scared me."

"Your face isn't showing it", I said, examining his expressionless face.

"Yeah well I felt it. I thought you were one of the other girls", he explained.

His arms hooked around my legs so that he was piggy-backing me and he continued walking down the corridor.

I snickered. "They've been following you?"

"Stalking me", he corrected.

Exaggeration. Well, maybe just a little. Next girl I see trying to hit on him is gonna go bald.
