Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#16

I know why he ran..
He had to.

So why did it hurt so much?

I texted Seunghee to come pick me up.
- you dropped you ice creams..
the man in the ice cream truck said.

- I'll get you new ones. For free.
He said, and smiled at me.
- Does it look like I fucking want new ones!
I yelled at him.

Why did I do that?
He was only being nice.
- i'm sorry.
He said.
- no.. I'm sorry.
I said, and went back to the bench that Hongseok and I sat on.

Why am I acting so stupid?
If my brother could see me now..

Seunghee arrived about ten minutes later.
When I got in the car, she didn't start driving.
- what happened this time?
She asked.

I felt because I had been keeping a lot from her lately. So I told her.
- that's really sad.. but he had to.
She said.
- I know.
I said.

I know. I know. I know.
But just couldn't.. get over it.

- want to hear something sad about me?
She asked.
- I guess.
I answered.

- Yuto has been wanting to go public with our relationship. But I just can't..
She said.
- why not?
I asked.
- because of the hate.
She answered.
- I don't think too many people would hate you.
I said.
- i don't care about me.
She said.
- it's him. I would rather kill myself than for him to be hated.
She said.

That is so sad..

- can I tell you something about Japan?
She asked me.
- of course. You can tell me anything.
I said.

- Something happened with my brother. because I had to hurt him, to escape. I thought I had killed him.
She said.
- did.. did you kill him?
I asked.
I didn't really believe she could kill anyone.
- I thought so. But he.. killed himself.
She said.
- I'm so sorry..
I said.

- and before I knew that I hadn't killed him. I tired to kill myself too.
But Yuto.. He saved me.
I owe him my life.
And I love him so much.

She said.

This was so sad, but also.. so romantic.
- so.. don't give up on Hongseok. Maybe he's the one. Even if you don't know it yet.
She said.

Woah.. she really knows the right things to say.
Suddenly I wasn't sad anymore.

• Hongseok's POV•

After I got back to the dorm, I felt like shit.
I punched the wall.

Ok that hurt more then I expected.

- What did that wall ever do to you?
Someone said.
It was Shinwon.
I hadn't even noticed he was in the hallway.
- sorry.
I told him.
- don't tell me. Tell the wall.
He said, and laughed.
- I'm not gonna talk to a wall.
I said.
- do it or I'll tell Hui.
He said.
God, this guy.
- fine... I'm sorry.. wall.
I said.
I can't believe i did it.
- I wasn't really going to tell Hui.
Shinwon said.

I wanted to hit him, but I didn't, because he had made me feel better.
- want to play cards?
He asked me.
- no way. You always cheat.
I answered.

- I won't this time. You might hit me, like you did to the wall.
He said.
- fine. Whatever.

• Yerin's POV•

When we got back to our apartment, Seunghee decided we would drink soju.

It sounded a bit fun. Because when I got drunk, everything was funny.

Seunghee went to get some bottles of soju.
When she placed them on the table, she went back to the kitchen.

I decided to check my phone.
Hongseok had called me 3 times.

But I didn't call him up.
I would wait until tomorrow.

Seunghee came back, carrying a plate of fruit.
- I know you don't want to eat anything but fruit. So I'm not going to ask you to.
She said.
- thank you.

We spent the rest of the night talking about sad stories from our lives, but we also talked about good things.

We eventually fell asleep on the couch.

The next day, I was awoken by Seunghee hitting my face with a pillow.
- what was that for?
I asked her.
- you kicked me in your sleep.
She said.
- oops.

I was going to my room to change, when someone nocked on the door.
- can you get that?
Seunghee asked me.
- sure.
I said.

I went to the front door, and opened it.
It was hongseok.

I was actually thinking about calling him.
- I'm really sorry. I didn't want to leave but I had to. And I was afraid the fan girls was gonna hurt you if you came over to us.
He said.
- it's ok.
I said.
- really?
He asked.
- you didn't have a choice.
I answered.

Hongseok waited for me to get dressed, and then he came into my room.
- did you walk all the way home yesterday?
He asked me.
- Seunghee picked me up.
I answered.
- good.
He said.
- oh, and also. I swore at the ice cream man.
I said.

- wait, what?

AN: I know the chapter is a bit short but I really wanted to write another one before I go to bed.
