Diaries of a Distance

Chapter 33

Wednesday, 3rd October...

The crowd went silent and I could sense everybody was fully focused on us. Jae Wook stared at the empty area around my neck- I didn't wear the bear's head this morning. His eyes narrowed.

"Kwon Yura", Jae Wook called coldly.

"What?" I said through gritting teeth.

Even I had to admit I sounded menacing.

Jae Wook sighed. "Come with me to the disco?" He asked casually.

I loosened up and felt my mouth part, but since I couldn't think of a good response I just closed my mouth. It wasn't just me. Everyone there watching looked confused.

What on earth are you doing Jae Wook?

I don't think he really knew either, because he didn't wait for my reply, but simply walked turned around and walked away.

Soo Jin asked the question everyone there wanted to know the answer to. "What was all that about?"

[] : No.

Sun Dae: You really really don't want to go?

[] : No. Those other guys are bugging me crazy.

[] is me. I'm not a K Dreamer anymore. What other to put on your nickname than brackets if your mind is blank? I'm a No Dreamer now.

Sun Dae: It's funny.

[] : And stupid.

Sun Dae: Are you giving up?

[] : ...

I don't know. I don't know where it's going anymore. I came here to find out about my family history and now I've found... love. But it's annoying and I don't want to think about it, let alone thinking about going to the disco. But Jae Wook did take initiative... I should stop-

Sun Dae: Stop being stubborn, Yura. Kiss and make up!

I thought about the past week.

[] : I think we've had enough of kissing.

And maybe I've had enough of Korea. It's time, KWON YURA WILL GO BACK TO AUSTRALI-

"Yura!!! Your friends are here!" Mrs. Lee shouted from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'll be right down!" I called back.

[] : The fairies are here. Do you wanna chat to them?

Sun Dae : Your brother is reading our convo.

No wonder she typed that in Korean. Y.J can't recognise his own name in Korean for a million bucks.

[] : OK. I'll leave you two then.

Sun Dae : No! It's not like that!

I logged off and quickly ran downstairs to greet the fairies.

"Girls! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the disco?" I asked them whilst eying their diva clothes at the same time.

"We left someone behind", Soo Jin said.

I started backing away. "I see..."

I spun around and on realising they'd catch me before I reached the staircase, tried climbing up the railings. Don't try that kids, its hurts and doesn't work when they pull you down and bruise your knee.

"She's very obedient", Mi Mi commented.

"Mi Mi, she's taped up", Soo Jin said.
