《Chapter 30》

~ Sooyun's P.O.V ~

I blankly stared at the ceiling, contemplating about the conversation Yoongi, our grandma and I had earlier. Something just doesn't feel right, something doesn't sit right with me.

And about Jungkook... I left him on read. I didn't know what or how I should reply him. He makes me feel guilty but worthless at the same time. How can one's duality be extremely heartening?

My lips trembled continuously under the freezing temperature eventhough I wrapped myself in plenty of blankets. I flinched at the shiny and radiant thunder strikes, few feet away from my house.

My feet were getting frosty at the sudden drop of temperature. After what felt like an eternity, another layer of blanket covered my body instantly making it feel warmer. I jolted to find Yoongi oppa bent down near my feet, with a pair of socks in his hands.

"You should have the hot chocolate. It's right there on your side table", he gently grabbed my cold feet and put the thick socks on with cute rabbits all over them. "Oppa~ Thank you so much. I was freezing to death"

"I know when and how to protect my sister from now on. Anyways, you can't sleep huh?"

"Duh, obviously. But such short conversations with my very own brother is what I've wanted my whole life. To enjoy the moment and take everything in"

"Me too. In fact, I've always wanted a younger sister and I'm glad I found you. Our first meet may not have been pleasant but that doesn't define the siblings relationship we have right now. I love my sister more than myself, you know"

"Ah oppa~ Stop saying such things. You're gonna get hit from me"

"Little girl is on an angry roll", he paused laughing, "Anyways, you need to get some sleep. We have school tomorrow but you don't have to come if you don't want to"

"I'm doing alright. It would be better if you wait for me before leaving to school tomorrow", I pouted like a small kid waiting for her parents to grant her permission.

"Of course I will. I'm not always evil, you know"

"Students, read the short essay about Seoul's history. I'll be having a pop quiz tomorrow", the teacher left the class for an urgent meeting. I hissed and started doodling some random things on a piece of paper which was lying beside me.

"Annyeong~", someone gently slid in the table beside me. "How are you doing right now? I heard what happened yesterday. I would've been with you but I wasn't at school due to the crucial meeting I had to attend", he took my hands in his and patted it softly as if I'm brittle.

"Gwenchana~ I'm feeling way better", I sneered a smile towards Jaehyun. "I have a news for you. Hope you would meet me at the coffee shop after school", his voice softened.

"Sure. It's a good news or a bad one?" "We'll see about that", he giggled innocently. I nodded chuckling, joining in with him. He's one of the reasons I always smile. He is someone really special to me.

I was on my way to the library to complete my homework; during the lunch break. I widened my eyes to find Ruyen catching up to me with a frowned face; panting.

"Sooyun~ah. There's a call waiting for y-you at the office. I heard that your g-grandma is in a very s-serious condition", every single words which escaped her mouth made my knees weak. I ran as fast as I could towards the office; ignoring whoever stood on my way, only to bump onto them every now and then. I set huge steps towards the office, in a crying mess.

"W-Where is my call? Where is it?!", I exclaimed as soon as I barged into the office.

The teachers inside the office looked at each other confoundly as to why I was in a hurry. "Sooyun~ssi. Can you slow down? There isn't any call for you. Are you okay?", Mrs Jung stated with a sense of worry in her voice.

I promptly shot up to her and wiped away the streaming warm tears. "W-What? I got an information that I had a call" "Aniya~ I guess you got a false information", she explained and I stomped out of the office, crying even harder than I did earlier.

My grandma is my life. She is my everything. If I'm even breathing right now, it's because of her. She worked hard to see me successful in my life and if anything happens to her, it'll impact my life alot.

I had this huge lump in my throat and all I could do was barge in a small room and close the door; leaning against it. I slide down the door crying harder that even my eyes hurt. What did I ever do to Ruyen? My grandma isn't something you should mess with, she played with my weakness.

I moved forward and leaned against a cabinet and that's when I knew, it was a freaking janitor room. The stench made me flinch as I just closed my eyes, letting out all my frustration by letting out quiet yells.

Out of the blue, I heard the door clicking; wide open. "What are you doing here? I saw you running through the crowd at the hallway"

"Just go away Jaehyun~ah. I need some time alone", I sobbed, trying really hard not burst out in tears infront of him. "Look here. Stop being selfish okay?", I met his eyes only to realise grief displayed all over his face.

"Of course you are selfish. You should share your feelings with me. Am I a stranger to you? Or am I not that trust-worthy yet?", he looked into my eyes, disgruntled. I explained to him as we sat there for about 15 minutes.

"That b*tch", he cursed and I broadened my eyes, looking at him in disbelieve. In fact this was the first time I've ever seen him curse.

"This little boy knows how to curse huh", I stated with a sense of sarcasm. "Do not judge a book by it's cover remember? Anyways, why is she being such a brat. She is mean since the first day I came here"

"I know. It's too hard for me to cope up with my studies when there is such a distraction like her", I stared at the people who were passing by at the hallway, through the transparent mirror. Thank god the light in the janitor room was switched off so the others couldn't peek at us.

He huffed and I'm pretty sure he is so done with her as well. He sluggishly crawled towards me and stopped just few centimetres from my face. I was flustered to the point I clutched my bag tightly and my heart was spinning in embarrassment. The butterflies, wait. The whole damn zoo fluttered in my stomach.

"Here. Let me get this", he soothely touched my cheek with his soft plump hand, wiping the dust away. He drew his hand off but stayed still, staring at my lips and then my eyes. I might be really smart in Mathematics but I couldn't estimate as to how many millimeters away. I could precisely feel his mint breath hit my face along with the cologne overpowering the stench.

"See you later at the coffee shop", with that he exited the janitor room, leaving me in pearls of sweat.

I lightly placed my fingers on my face; where he wiped the dust off and widely smiled.
