The boy with the mask

Episode 4

                      Sasha POV

It was really nice to talk to him. I even forgot about my hunger.

He was actually a really nice guy. His soft husky voice made my heart beat really fast but it was calming and relaxing at the same time. It was the first time i felt like that. It was something new for me.

He told me a lot of jokes and cheesy puns but they made him even more adorable.

I think we talked for about 2 hours. Time flew by so fast. I didn't even realize it was already 8 pm.

My phone suddenly rang interrupting us. We both looked at the phone. The light screen showed a picture of me and another girl. It was Lydia.

"I'm sorry. I have to pick up."

"It's okay. Don't worry." He responded while nodding his head.

"I'll leave so I won't disturb you." Continued Min Sung.

"No no. I'll just go. Don't bother." I said with a smile on my face while getting up.

"Okay."

I started walking towards my room while answering.

"Yes Lydia?"

"heyyyyyy. Sashaaaaa. Let's meet. I miss youuu." I heard her imploring me on the line.

"I miss the girls too. Pleaseeee." I could already see her pouting.

"Okay okay. Tomorrow at about 9 am. Fine?"

"YEYYYY!! I'll call the girls instead. Thank youu. Love youu. See yaa. Byee."

Ouch. My ears.

"Love you too. Byee." I responded in an annoyed but happy tone.

I hung up. I stoped for a second to think.

What should i do know. I'm already bored. I should just go upstairs at the balcony. I'll grab some things from my room first.

I entered my room and started searching for my headphones and a book.

I found both these 2 objects on the table. I grabbed them and started walking towards the stairs.

I opened the door and turned the light on. I then switched some of them off because it was too bright for me. I left only one dim light right above the small bed.

I closed the door and ran towards the bed. I jumped on it and quickly covered myself with the fluffy blanket.

I only then looked at the book I grabbed randomly. It was one of my favorite books. I already read it 3 times, but i'll just read it one more time.

Ask Alice is a real diary written by a teenager. It talks about all the hardships she went through. The book becomes even more depressing when you reach the last page and when you realize once again that the book is a real story of a girl.

I connected my headphones to my phone searched for my favorite song at the moment.

Breathe by Lee Hi started playing and I opened the book and started reading once again the sad book.

Time flew by pretty fast and i had already reached the end of the book reading the last sentence.

|2 weeks later after her decision of starting a new life she had took her own life.|

My heart stung while reading the affirmation.

I closed the book, the music still playing. It was already 11 pm. I should get some sleep but I wasn't tired at all.
I continued listening to music and looking at the dark blue sky. It was a real work of art. I tried to look at all those stars but I couldn't. My heart hurt so much. One tear fell down my cheek. I whispered to myself while taking my headphones out.

"They say that after you die you become one with the nature. That you could become one of the stars up in the sky."

My voice started cracking.

"Mom.... are you up there too? Are you looking down to us? Are you.... proud of me... of who i am?"

I continued looking at the sky searching for mom.

I suddenly felt someone pat my back. I turned around, tears still on my face, to see Min Sung looking at me.

I looked in his eyes. Time stoped for a second. I then woke up from it and wiped my tears. I looked down feeling embarrassed.

"It's okay to feel sad. It's okay to hurt. But it's not okay to hurt alone. It's bad to hold it all inside you. It slowly destroys you from the inside then from the outside." He said in a calm tone.

Those words got me by surprise. My hands started shaking but I hid them behind my back.

He slowly reached for them. He took my hand in his warm and big hand.

He suddenly hugged me. I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I started crying but i hoped he didn't hear me.

He hugged me tight still holding one of my hands and caressing my head.

We stayed like that for some time.

I finally calmed down and got out of his hug still looking down.

His finger appeared under my chin, slowly lifting it up. I looked in his eyes again. Those beautiful eyes that become even more beautiful every time you look at them. The moonlight reflecting through his dark eyes.

He wiped my tears using his thumb. He grabbed my shoulders with both his hands while looking at all of my facial features.

When he finished he looked back into my eyes.

He then reached for his right ear. At first I didn't understand what he was doing. The next moment i see the mask slowly moving. I realized that he was about to take his mask off. I froze. Waiting.
