< all the lies >

; lee hyukjae's pov

i walk into the room that i hated to be the most in this house. the living room. there, my father would always be there with clients always talking about business, it bores me out.

"look, you're back! how was the first day?"

i rolled my eyes and went into my bedroom, not giving a care how much of a scolding i'd get later.

after some time passes, "open up." i sighed as i close my laptop, getting up to open my bedroom door.

as soon as it was open, i got slapped on the cheek. i was trying to look as numb as i could, considering this was not the first but tears still gathered around my eyes just waiting to fall out anytime.

"how dare you disrespect me in front of those clients!"

i stayed silent, which made him frustrated.

"come out for dinner soon." he turned behind.

"i saw her."

he turned back, confused, "what?"

"kim jieun. she is in the same college as me."

"that good for nothing girl?"

i got annoyed as he threw those words out so easily at jieun. "you don't deserve to call her that." i raised my voice.

"what did you say?" he glared.

i had enough and finally let all my frustration out. "you NEVER deserve to speak of her in that way. so what now? are you going to send me off abroad again just like how you did back then? then are you going to lock me up in a place i don't even want to be at with not even a phone call? you never send letters while i was abroad. when i finally came back last year, you had all these plans i never wanted. then i found out you drove my mother out and divorced without your own son knowing."

"it is for your own good!"

"but i just want to be like every other normal human being!" i slammed the door and kicked the trashcan just right beside it. i sighed and plopped down the floor, resting my head on my knees.

i finally look up after some time, taking my phone and hovering over jieun's number. i did not delete it all this years. but what if she changed her number?

i threw my phone onto the bed, and cried again, all alone with no one to comfort me.

-

it was jieun's 16th birthday. i had just came back from her party when i entered the house.

my eyes widened as i see the sight of suitcases all packed up right at the entrance.

"dad?"

"good you're back. you're going abroad in 6 hours time."

"what?!"

"i already told you to stay away from jieun didn't i? you didn't listen so you are going to canada, where headquarters of my business is located."

"no. i am not going." i stomped off and stopped at my bedroom door when my father spoke.

"i will expel jieun."

i bite my lips as i face him, "no please don't do that."

"your school's director is my friend, i have the power."

"please don't do that. jieun has so many dreams. even though she doesn't really have the urge to go to college but she has so many potential. don't touch her."

"then go abroad."

i sighed in defeat and went in my room. at that moment, i got a message.

jieun:)
we are still meeting tmr before sch rite?

you
yes see you

that was a lie. i knew i'd never ever see her again. but i could never bring myself to tell her or even siwon that. i wanted to leave in silence.

i look to my bed and a giant teddy bear was on it. i immediately jumped onto bed and hugged it, it was something i loved doing when i just feel very down.

i'll miss the teddy bear. just like how greatly i'd miss jieun.
