Save Me •Cha Eunwoo•

Chapter 14

Jinjin's POV

We were talking about some tv shows when Eunwoo came in. We all stare at him now as he takes a sit next to Moonbin. A sad smile was plastered since the moment he stepped into our practice room.

"You okay, hyung?"  Rocky asks with a worried tone.

Eunwoo nods hesitantly while taking his phone out from his pocket. I signal MJ who is sitting diagonally from me. He nods before moving a little closer to Eunwoo.

"Eunwoo, Moonbin said you finished writing the lyrics to the song you have been working on? Can we um you know.." MJ tries asking carefully not to tense the situation.

"Oh yes, I did. But still need to rearrange the lyrics. Maybe next week, I will try to compose it this week." Eunwoo says.

We nod in satisfaction before Rocky speaks up. I guess he is just trying to light up the mood.

"I learnt a new dance. Maybe we can use it for the song. What do you think, hyung?" Rocky raises his eyebrows towards me and I smile brightly to him back. He is the maknae now after our tall maknae was.... taken away.

"Let's see it then!"

Myun Na's POV

I really need to work on my cardio. Just a few steps really triggers my heartbeat. Plus, I am carrying my aunty's groceries. They weigh like a ton because my aunty said she ran out of cordial and sauces.

"Faster, child. I am not as free as you are. I have other things to do."  My aunt said half mumbling but I can still hear her.

After Eunwoo kicked me out of his home, I had no choice but to go back to my aunty's. That's the only home that I have for now.

I really can't believe what happened. I was torn apart from the horrible memories from that night. I just wanted to help him get off anything that's been on his mind. I can't really read his face expression or how is he feeling because Eunwoo is unpredictable. Knowing that I am not invited in his house and to him, I am a nuisance, really hit he hard.

The temporary happiness make me feel sane in an insane world. I might not have anything but having a friend was more than enough for me to feel what it feels like to be loved.

If Eunwoo loves me.

Who knows? Maybe all these days that I stay with him, he might feel burdened because my presence costs him extra additions from every aspect.

But it's okay, I believe it's my fate so no matter how hard it is, I need to accept what God has planned for me. Maybe there will be a happy ending for me. Hope so.

"We're here. Now, go prepare for dinner because I want to invite some friends over. Make sure you don't show yourself. It's a shame if someone sees you in my house. You're too filthy to be my kid."  My aunt says before signaling me with her fingers to go to the kitchen, to do what she told me to.

I nod a little and start to walk towards the kitchen. I am kinda struggling because the weight from the plastic bags in my grasp.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

I was cutting the onions when my aunt barges into the kitchen. I got shocked from her loud voice and accidentally cut my palm. I wince a little, trying to get over the pain.

"Go get some junk food! My friends want to have a little party. By the way, you're not invited." 

She threw a few dollars on the table before storms out from the kitchen.

I fasten my pace to grab my cardigan and my phone because if one minute is wasted, I will be wasted.

••••••••••••••••••••••

I can't make my decision on picking out the junk food that my aunt wants. She didn't say anything about what kind of junk food she wanted. And now, here I am, standing like a fool.

That's when I saw my aunt's favorite junk food at the top rack. I smile a little before I realized the reality, I am too short to reach it.

I stretch my hand, trying hard to reach the junk food and now I am slightly annoyed with my height. When I go grocery shopping with Eunwoo, he will take the stuff from the upper rack, knowing my height can only reach the lower rack.

"Let me help you."  A voice comes from behind, ringing through my ear before I see a manly hand reach the junk food. I slowly turn my back so I can face this kindhearted guy who helped me.

As I turn back, I see a young looking man, comforting me with his dashing eye smile. I admit, his features are amazing. Especially his smile.

It's been a while since I saw a smile that amazes me.

"Sorry if I offend you. I saw you struggling and decided to help yo-

He starts off his talking awkwardly and I can tell that he feels slightly guilty as he rubs the back of his neck while looking down.

I cut him off before he even finished his sentence. He was just trying to help me.

"No! I know you wanted to help me because as you can see, I am a toddler trying to reach for my dreams."  I laugh at my own words before get followed by his.

"I am Myun Na. And you?"  I offer him a handshake and he quickly accepts my introduction.

"Moonbin."  He eye smiles at me again plus showing his snow white teeth.

I don't know why but there's a sudden feeling that I have met him somewhere. My mind is not working now so I can't really recall where I met him.

His voice sounds familiar.

"Are you in a rush? Maybe we can go get coffee or something?"  Moonbin offers me. His pleading look is irresistible.

"I would love to but I have to go prepare for special occasion. But we can exchange numbers? You can hit me up later. I am free as a bird most of the time."  I suggest while my right hand reaching for my phone in my pocket.

"Okay. Sounds great!"

There is something in this guy attracts the inner me.

Something that someone has done to me.
