Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#23

Today was my birthday.
It felt a little weird being an adult.
I didn't feel like one.

Yesterday I sent out birthday invitations to every member of pentagon. Even Wooseok.
I didn't really want to invite him, but I also didn't want to be rude.

I also invited Jun, and told him to bring his girlfriend if he had one.

And of course I invited Hyunsung.
But she told me she couldn't come.

My brother wouldn't be able to make it either. He had to work. But it was for the best, anyways.
There was things that I had kept from him. And I didn't know how he would react.

Everyone else said they would be there..
Everyone except Hongseok.
But what did I expect?

- I'm not gonna let you cry on your birthday.
Seunghee said, as she entered my room.
- wait.. my birthday is today?
I asked her.
- are you joking?
She asked me.
- yeah.
I said.
- just get dressed and come to the kitchen.
She said.

I didn't bother to get dressed, so I went to the kitchen in my night gown.
- happy birthday!
Seunghee yelled when I got there.
- shit.
I said.
Just because she startled me.
- guess what's for breakfast!
She said.
- I'm not eating breakfast.
I said.
- not even pizza?

After we had breakfast, I fell asleep on the couch, tired from eating.

Seunghee had told me she would take care of the preparation for the party.

While I was sleeping, I had a terribly disturbing dream.
It was about what happened to Hyunsung.
But instead, it happened to me.

But before i could dream about what would happen to me, I woke up.
- Zombies again?
Seunghee asked me.
- something like that..
I said.

I couldn't exactly tell her what happened to Hyunsung.
After all I had promised not to tell anyone.
- well, the guest will be here soon, you might want to get ready.
She said.
- wait, what time is it?
I asked.
- 6PM. You slept for almost 7 hours.
She answered.

Had I really been sleeping for so long?
Everything had gone so fast in my dreams.
It felt like only ten minutes.

I took a shower, and went to my room to get dressed.
I was just going to put on one of my dresses, when Seunghee entered my room.
I got embarrassed due to the fact that I was only in my underwear.
- you look like a skeleton.
She told me.
- no I don't.
I said.

After I got done putting on my dress, I went to the livingroom.

There was so much alcohol.
And food.

- isn't this a bit much?
I asked Seunghee.
- you have no idea how much Pentagon can eat. Especially Yuto.
She said.
She did have a point about Yuto.
- and they also like to drink. A lot.
Seunghee said, and laughed.
- so do you.
I said.
- shut up.

The others had left for the party about an hour ago.
E'Dawn stayed behind with me.
- I just don't get it.
E'Dawn said.
- get what?
I asked.
- why you don't believe Yerin.
He said.
- I saw them together. So did you.
I said.
- but it wasn't really her fault.
He said.
- what do you mean?
I asked him.
- wait.. Wooseok really hasn't told you?
He asked.
- told me what?
I asked.
- he promised me he would tell you.
E'Dawn answered.
- what was he supposed to tell me?
I asked.
