Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#39

AN:
Last chapter of book one. book two will continue here, so no need to look for it. (You're welcome)
also sorry if the chapter is a bit bad, I've had writers block for like a month.

- Are you pretending to listen to music?
Hongseok asked me, as we where traveling back to the house.
Damn it..
I pulled out my earphones, and sighed.
- no?
I said awkwardly.
- Ok.
Hongseok said.

- let's have a talk as fast as we get back to the house.
Rena said.
She's been able to sense when somethings wrong all the time lately.
I just nodded again, and put my earphones back in my ears.
This time I actually decided to listen to music.

We arrived at the house, and Rena dragged me with her upstairs.
- you're really stressing me out..
She said as we entered my room.
- I'm sorry?
I said, more like a question.
- I just... when something is bothering you... it bothers me.
She said, and then her face got red.
Oh my, is she blushing?

I decided to not make fun of her, so I just smiled.
- don't let it get to your head.
She said, making me laugh.
- I won't.
I said, and rolled my eyes.

Rena said she would be right back, so I decided to change clothes.
I put on a pink dress, and my pink fluffy slippers.
- you do know all that pink makes you look like that horrible woman from Harry Potter right?
Someone said.
I couldn't help but laugh.
I turned around to find Rena standing in the doorway.
- how long have you been standing there?
I asked her.
- long enough to see your bra.

The rest of the day was awkward, because everyone noticed something was up with me.
Hongseok and Kino had gone out, and didn't come back before midnight.
I had already gone to bed, when he kind of stumbled into our room.
Had he been drinking?

He laid down beside me, and put his arms around me.
- do you still love me?
He asked.
I just pretend to be asleep.

I loved him so much that if I looked at him too long I would change my mind and stay.
But I couldn't.
I can't stay..

******
The next day, I decided to get some extra sleep.
Actually I just wasn't ready to join the others.
Today I would leave...
and I couldn't let anyone know.

Not even Seunghee..
I just didn't want to see her disappointed in me... she has given me so much. And now I was going to throw it all away?

Maybe one day she would understand.
Maybe one day Hongseok would understand.
Maybe one day we could all meet again.

I know leaving was a bad idea that would ruin everything. My career, my friendships,and my relationship with Hongseok.

Should I really do this?
I'm just so.. scared.
What if someone tries to hurt me again?
I quickly slapped my cheek, so that I would stop thinking about all this.

I got dressed, and went downstairs.
I had to figure out how to leave without nobody noticing it.

Everyone was in the kitchen eating lunch. Maybe I should run upstairs and pack my stuff while they're all busy.
But how would I sneak out without them noticing? My suitcase was pretty heavy and I would probably drop it a few times.
Unless I left the clothes Seunghee had bought me behind.
It was the right thing to do anyways.

- we're all going grocery shopping, you're coming right?
Seunghee asked me.
- I have to uh.. call my brother. But you should all still go.
I said, trying not to sound suspicious.
- do you want me to get you anything?
Hongseok asked.
- Maybe a snack.
I said, and smiled slightly.

Everyone was getting ready to head out, so I went back to my room.
I was about to start packing, when hongseok entered the room.
- what are you doing?
He asked me.
- just.. organizing my stuff.
I said.
- do you want me to stay behind?
He asked me.
- no it's ok.
I said.

Hongseok just nodded, and was about to leave the room.
- I'm sorry about yesterday.
I said.
- it's ok.
He said, and walked over to me.
He gave me a hug, and kissed my forehead.
- goodbye.
I said.

- I'm just going to the store.
Hongseok said, and laughed.

After he and the others left, I quickly started packing. I had no idea how long I had before they would be back.
- you're leaving?

Someone said.
Oh no.. someone stayed behind.
It was Rena.
Why did she even stay behind?
- don't tell anyone.
I said, desperately.
- I'll tell everyone.
She said.
Why would she do this? I thought we had something special now..
- unless you let me come with you.
She then said.

- what?
I asked.
- you heard me.
She answered.

Why did she want to come with me?
- I'm so sick of being around all these people. Socializing is so stressful.
Rena said.
I guess that made sense.

- where.. do you want to be?
I asked her.
- wherever you are.
She said.
I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing.
It made me feel weird to be honest. But.. I kind of liked it.

- let's do it then. Let's leave.

•Hongseok's POV•

The shopping trip was going slow. Too slow. I just wanted to get back to Yerin. She was in a better mood, and I just wanted to be with her. She made me so scared yesterday. I actually thought she wanted to break up.
- are we done yet?
I asked Yuto and Seunghee.
They where arguing about whether Seunghee should buy alcohol or not.
He never liked it when she drank.
I had nothing against Seunghee, but sometimes she would drink too much and act all crazy.

- yeah we're leaving now.
Yuto said, and put back all the alcohol Seunghee had placed in the cart.
- you're lucky I love you.
Seunghee said, and glared at him.

We left the store, and drove back to the house. I didn't bother helping them with the groceries, I just ran up to me and Yerin's room.

But she wasn't there.
Neither was her things.
What is going on?

I quickly ran downstairs, and looked everywhere for her.
No... she wouldn't just leave me right?

I went to the kitchen, hoping she was there, eating the snacks I had bought her.
But she wasn't.
- what's going on?
Hui asked me.
- it's Yerin..
I said.
- is she ok?
Seunghee asked.
- she's...gone.
I said.
- what are you talking about?
Hui asked.
- I can't find her.. all her stuff is gone.
I said.

I was starting to freak out.
- I think Rena left, her things are gone.
Jae In said, as she entered the kitchen.

Rena was gone too?
Had they really just left like that?
And why didn't Yerin take me with her?
- What the heck is going on?
Seunghee said.

Everyone started looking all over the house, as I went to my room, calling Yerin.
She didn't pick up the first time.
Not the tenth time either.

She... left me.
How could she do this?

Kino entered the room, looking nervous.
- I think this is my fault.
He said.
How was this his fault?
- don't be stupid.
I said.
- no.. you don't get it.
He said.
He looked so upset.
- what are you talking about?
I asked.

- I..pushed her down the stairs. She never fell.
