;-; (tae's)

Kinda feel like I need time alone away from everyone. I've been so stressed out with schools, my love life, my family, and with myself lately. hold on.. love life? Jokes on you!

It's so hard to deal with myself sometimes. Like I sometimes always feel triggered by everything around me and claimed that I need time alone. It just so hard to understand me.

"Are you okay, babe?" he asked in concern.

"Yeah, not I am just bored staying at home- so yea went out to you know, fresh air" I stated.

"Bored? You know you can call me if you want me to be with you- but yeah... I can't right now.." Yes, Wonwoo. That is why. You have your training. That's why I didn't call you.

"No, I understand that. Don't worry I'm cool. I'll call you later. I love you, woo"I ended the call. Ughhhhh, Taeha don't do this to him!! Don't involve your problems to him!!

;-;

Finally, I am graduated!! It was a very good feeling that I graduated with good results. I hope I will get any offer from any colleges. It's good to be an adult and free from the teachErs. But yeah, gonna miss everyone in here. Everyone except HER.

"We are finally graduated!! You are going to miss me don't you?" she rubbed my back and trying to get close to me to kiss my cheek.

"Yeah... congrats to you, but no I won't miss you not even a bit," I said pushing her away from me. Oh my god her perfume is suffocating me. 

"You are so mean!!" she pouted, tryna look cute but nooooo I don't think you look cute with that big hair. Did you put on a wig or what? it does not look good on you, to be honest.

"Well, since we are going to separate from each other. I want to tell you, thank you for everything you had done for me and I hope you'll be happy with your- I don't know.. new paid-boyfriend? but yeah, I am sorry for everything. I hope you will always be happy" 

Yes. She has a new boyfriend which is 7 years older than her, which I think she met at one of the clubs that she always goes. also, I heard some rumors that she paid the guy to be her boyfriend to make me jealous.

"How did you- " her eyes widened. 

"Don't need to question it, everyone's talking about it, "I said, sarcastically.

"Obsessed," I said in a low tone voice.

"What did you say?!" her face is turning red, looking down to hide her embarrass.

"I am not! that's a lie!!" she yelled and quickly leaves.

"Finally" I rolled my eyes.

I went back home and feeling so happy to check on my emails. The teachers said the results about the colleges that we got are out. I really can't wait!!

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SEOUL

Wow!! I am so lucky!! It's near my sister house. Which is far away from here but I can live with her!!

"Hello Hyulari, guess what? I got straight A's for my results and got offered to NUS and can I live with you??"

"Woaaa, I am so proud of you!! but sadly I am in America with my family for another 3 months but sure you can live there. You can take the key from our neighbor. I'll talk to them later"

"Glad to know that. Anyways, stay safe!! Send my regards to your family"

"sure"

;-; (three weeks later)

  I slowly parked the car then moved all the boxes and luggage at the doorstep.

  "Phewww.. finally here," I said while inserting the key that I just got from Hyulari's neighbor. 

It's been a while since I came to this town to visit Hyulari. I still remember how I always begging my mom to send me here on weekends so that we could hang out together but she was single at that time and now she's living here with her family. It couldn't be the same anymore. We are all grown up.

While I looked around the house to bring back all the memories, suddenly my stomach started to ache.

 I just remembered the last meal that I had was yesterday's lunch. I was too busy packing the stuff that I forgot to eat.

Hyulari is gonna kill me if she knew how miserable her brother's life is right now. Life would be so much easier if she's here now, and food will be served for me at any time. She loves me so much, and I'm so grateful to have a sister like her.

She is so much like my mother. Pretty and kind. 

Except that my mom's not annoying at times.

I decided to take a quick shower before leaving the house to find something to eat.

;-; (taeha)

"Oops, sir! I am so sorry-"I picked up his phone and wallet. Ugh, years have passed and I am still the clumsy me.

"Are you okay?" he tried to get me up. His voice sounds so familiar.

We stared at each other's eyes. Fuck, I am gonna cry.

"Tae-?" his smile lit up his face.

"Mingyu? what are you doing here?" I asked.  My heart is beating so fast now I can die. What is he doing here, shit shit shit.

"I'm here to eat- wait actually I just moved to my sister's house. I will start my study next month at NUS. I guess that's why I am here" he explained with full so excited to me.

"Oh, glad to know that"I looked down. I don't know what else to say.

"mhmm, would you mind if I ask you for a coffee or something? no, let's eat, I just arrived, I am so hungry!" he said pulling my hand to follow him.

I pulled my hand quickly. No tae, this is wrong.

and he looks so guilty.

"I'm so sorry- I am just so excited to see you again after.. the last time we talked to each other" he looked down.

yes, the last time we talked. The last time we met was on my last day of school. The day you and your girlfriend- ugh no, I don't want to remember that.

I couldn't help but started to cry.

"Taeha... I'm so sorry for that day. I didn't know it was your last day. I was so mad at everything on that day. I accidentally ranting at you. I didn't mean to hurt you- but you do know that I broke up with her right?"

I squeeze my eyes closed, trying to get myself chill. BIJ CALM DOWN.

"No, Mingyu, I don't know that and I don't want to know. Don't worry, you said you wanna eat? let's go, I'm hungry too" I wiped my eyes using my shirt and gave him a smile.

;-;

"Are you okay now?" he asked after a million times I excused myself to go to the toilet.

"So much better. I'm so sorry that you need to see me like this.  Don't know what is wrong with me lately. Maybe it's because of my melancholia I guess?"

"Wait what? You have that?!" he half-yelled, surprised, which made me chuckled.

"Wanna say yes, but no-"I break into laughter after I saw his widened eyes.

"Are you kidding me Tae? oh my god, I couldn't believe you joking about this. I should expect this from you"

"Don't worry, I'm totally fine. I am just proving you that I am still the old Tae that you knew. The cheerful, the cool Tae" I laughed, trying so hard to hide the pain that I was actually feeling.

"Not forgetting the clumsy one"

"okay bye" I rolled my eyes.

"Okay... it's getting late let's eat Mrs. toilet" he teased me.

As bad as it was, I learned something about myself that I could go through something like this and survive.
