The captor of my Heart

The Calm Before Storm

"Yeonwo ya" Hyebin opened the door the next morning at 6.30

"What?"

"So, last night, Jooe was crying so hard I took her to the warden and Jooe begged her to call Nancy's mother. So, Nancy will be here tonight. Yay"

"Yeah" Yeonwoo replied, still not turning towards Hyebin.

"Alright. Let's go to school at 8" Hyebin said.

But when Hyebin came to Yeonwoo's room again at 8, fully dressed for school, Yeonwoo was still on the bed.

"What the fuck! What the hell!" Hyebin exclaimed as soon as she opened the door.

"You are still sleeping? Its freaking 8.12 am." Hyebin said shaking Yeonwoo.

"God! Hyebin, Go away. I am trying to get some sleep here"

"What? Did you go bank robbing or something last night?" Hyebin asked.

"I didn't get a second of sleep last night, okay? leave me alone to sleep and don't ask me why I didn't sleep last night because I'll never tell you. Now go the hell away." Yeonwoo said folding her hands in a praying style.

"Ugh! This is so unlike you. All of the kids will be asking me why you're not coming. If I tell them you're sick, they'll worry. if I tell them you didn't sleep last night, they'll worry. God, why are you putting me in this situation?"

Hyebin gave an exaggerated sigh and left.

******************************************

Yeonwoo awoke at 4. Now that she was awake, her mind busied itself with the same draining thoughts that kept her awake the entire night: Self-hate that came with the realisation that she was indeed falling for her junior.

A part of her was yearning to see Nancy, the other part of her dreaded the moment she would see her. 

She was torn.

She got up and headed to the bathroom to brush and take a bath.

"Yeonwoo unnie" It was Taeha. Footsteps of an army were heard outside the bathroom.

"Are you alright, unnie" Jane asked.

"Why didn't you come to school?" Daisy asked.
