The Quiet Boy | Lee Seokmin

Chap. 17

Yeoreum's POV

I woke up at 5 in the morning. I looked around my room and it was dark, only the yellow light from my lamp on the table next to my bed was shining. I realised that it was Friday, means there's no school tomorrow. I sighed. I decided to do my morning routine.

After I'm done, I looked at my phone. Got two messages from Jungkook and Yoonseok.

From : Jungkook

Hey cuz~ are you fine? Let's visit your dad after school, okay? I'll pick you up later at your school.

From : Yoonseok

Hey, goodmorning. Umm, I hope you're doing good. Stay strong okay? I'll see you at school.

I looked at the messages and sighed. Didn't reply them. I get out from my room, closing the door. I saw Seokmin was standing in front of his room, looking at me. I tried my best to give him a small smile. It ended up like I'm giving a fake smile. Bruh I don't care this time.

I walked passed him and being greeted by the maids. They're asking questions with a worried tone. "Are you okay, Yeoreum?", "how are you feeling?" etc. I answered them with a small smile. I went to the dining room to have a breakfast with the family.

"Good morning, honey. Gwaechanna? How about we visit your dad after school? Let uncle Kim pick you up. You okay with that?" Aunt Soojung asked me with a motherly smile.

"Yeah, that's good. But you guys can go straight to the xxx hospital because my cousin will pick me up after school." I said in a very low voice. I feel like I didn't want to talk to anybody but since I respected Aunt Soojung and the others, I tried to talk even if I don't want to.

I finished my breakfast and clean it up. I slowly walked towards the door, followed by Seokmin. I opened it and being greeted by Wonwoo's deep voice. "Good morning you two!" He smile widely.

I gave him a weak smile. He frowned. "Hey what's wrong?" Then Dino and Seungkwan came. "What's with the face, noona?" Dino asked worriedly. "I'll tell you guys later. Excuse me." I said and they nodded in responsed as they make way for me to walk.

"Oh, tell the others that I say hi and have a good day for all of you." I looked at the four boys who are standing in front of the door. I smiled at them and walked to the bustop.

-time skip-

I arrived at school, I could saw Yoonseok was waving at me and ran towards me. "Gwaechanna?" The first thing he said to me. I nodded slowly. He suddenly pulled me into a hug, I was shocked but I hug him back since it's the thing I need right now. He patted my back.

We broke the hug as soon as we heard some girls said "wooo". It was my friends. They're all smirking and teasing us. I could see Yoonseok blushed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Ayyy are you two a thing now?" Asked Soyoung. "I ship!!" Jieun shouted excitedly. "Congratulations!" Hyemin added.

"Aigoo you guys get it wrong. We're still bestfriend. Nothing more." Yoonseok defended but the girls didn't believe. "Guys, I need to tell you something." I said with a low voice. "Is it a bad news?" Minju frowned. I brought them to our spot where we always stay at school which is under a big tree.

"It's about my dad. He involved in an accident a few days ago. *sigh* now he's in xxx hospital. Critical condition." Tears started to fell down from my eyes. I wiped it away, because I don't want to cry in front of my friends.

"That's okay to cry, Yeoreum." Raehyung patted my back and I burst into tears. "We'll visit your dad tomorrow, okay?" They said and I nodded. They helped me to wiped my tears and cheer me up. I smiled as the bell rang. We walked towards our classroom.
