The Quiet Boy | Lee Seokmin

Chap. 18

Yeoreum's POV

I woke up by the sound of my alarm. I rubbed my eyes and looked at my dad, wishing him good morning even though I knew that he can't hear me. I went to the toilet to wash my face.

I felt so uncomfortable because I didn't take a bath since yesterday evening. I looked for my phone inside my school bag but it wasn't there. 'Aish where did I put it last night?' I thought.

Suddenly I heard my phone rang and I quickly looked at the direction of my phone ringtone which was on the table next to appa's bed. "Ish it was there all the time, what's wrong with you, Yeoreum?" I said to myself.

I looked at the ID name and it was Jungkook and I picked it up.

"Yeobeoseyo?"

"Aaaa Yeoreum-ssi, I'm on my way now. And I'll brought some foods too. Let's eat before you go home." He said through the phone. I gave him an 'okay' as a responded and hung up.

Few minutes after the call with Jungkook, the doctor and two nurses came in to check on my appa. I waited for a bit before the doctor told me that my appa's condition isn't going to be better. He apologized for not be able to save my appa.

I nodded in responsed. Looking at my appa with a sad expression on my face. Tears started to fell down once the doctor and the nurses left the room. I decided to wait until Jungkook came.

Jungkook's POV

I've arrived at xxx hospital and parked my car. I quickly went to Uncle Yeonho's room. I twisted the door knob and I saw Yeoreum was sitting on the chair while scrolling through her phone.

She looked at me with weak smile and asked her what's wrong. "The doctor checked on him and said that he's not going to feel better." She sighed. Those words broke my heart to be honest. I went to her to give her a hug.

"Here, eat your food." I said, handing her a plastic bag filled with some food. She took it and we started to eat.

-time skip-

Yeoreum's POV

"Thanks for the ride Kook, see you later." I said as I step out of Jungkook's car. "Anytime cuz." He replied and we bid a goodbye. I walked to front door and knocked.

I was shocked when the person who opened the door is Jun instead of the maids. "Hey" he greeted with a small smile as I greeted back. I went in and he closed the door for me.

I looked at the living room and saw all of Seokmin's friends were there. "Hi." I said to them with a smile on my face. Suddenly the maknae line came towards me to give me a hug but I stopped them.

"I'm smelly." I said but they ignored and continued to hug me. "We heard about your dad, noona. And we're sorry." Seungkwan said in a sad tone.

"That's okay, boys." I rubbed Seungkwan's hair and asked their permission to go upstairs and took a bath.

Wonwoo's POV

Seokmin's mom told us about Yeoreum's dad and we're sorry about it. We all knew that Yeoreum's a strong person, we knew she could handle this. We were staying at Seokmin's house since last night and we realised that Yeoreum's not at home.

So we asked Seokmin's mom and she told us everything. While we were talking at the living room, someone knocked the door and I guessed it was Yeoreum.

"I get it." Jun stood up and opened the door, it revealed Yeoreum. I smile a little as I saw her. Then the maknae line went towards her to give a hug. I wanted to hug her too but I'm afraid that the others will think negative so I decided to stay still. Then she went upstairs to clean herself.

"Yah guys, let's take a walk with Yeoreum around Seoul. Just like we took a walk with Seokmin when his father passed away." Seungcheol suggested. "Yeah, we can't do anything to cure her dad. At least we help her to have a good day after having a hard time." Mingyu added. We agreed and decided to tell her.

Author's POV

Yeoreum finished clean up herself and went downstairs to meet the boys. She felt a little burdened when she thought about everything. About her dad's condition, Seokmin, her friends, school. She let out a big sigh.

She went to the living room, scanning some spot to sit and ended up sitting beside Minghao. "Yeoreum-ah, what are you going to do today?" Jeonghan asked her. "Nothing. Why?" She asked him back.

"We decided to take you out for a walk. Around Seoul." Minghao continued. "If you don't mind." Said Jun. She nodded and they gave her a big smile. "Let's get ready then." Wonwoo said as he stood up, followed by the others.

"We'll come here by 11!" Jisoo shouted and Yeoreum nodded. She looked at Seokmin who looked at her coldly. "Where's your mom and the maids? I didn't see them since I get here." She asked but Seokmin stayed quiet.

"Seokmin-ah~ don't be like this. Please, talk. You can't always put that blank face of yours all the time. Now I'm asking you, where are the others?"
Still. He stayed quiet. He decided to left her to get ready. "Seriously Seokmin?!" She whined and went to the kitchen before followed him upstairs. She saw a sticky note on the fridge.

'I'm going off to work, I know it's Saturday but I have to. Don't skip lunch. Btw the maids are all back to their hometown for a week. So it's just the three of us. That's why Seokmin's friends were staying here since last night so Seokmin wouldn't be alone.

Love, Aunt Soojung'

She read it and stick it back. She quickly went upstairs to get ready.

Minghao's POV

'I hope Yeoreum is okay.' I thought. I was worrying about her all the time. I really wanted to hug her, to be there for her, to take care of her for the rest of my life, I really love her. I do.

I know it's early to fall in love with her even if I just met her. I want to know her more and just then I'll confess to her. Tell her everything I feel about her. I thought about that in the car and I was spacing out.

"Minghao-ssi?" Jihoon hyung suddenly rebuke me. I looked at him blankly. "Gwaechanna? It seems like you're thinking about something. What's in your mind?" He asked.

"Eh aniyo hahaha. I was just spacing out hehehe." I smile awkwardly to him. He nodded and continued to minded his own business. All of us get ready before we pick Seokmin and Yeoreum at 11.

Author's POV

Yeoreum and Seokmin waited at their house, sitting on the sofa. "Seokmin-ah." She called out his name. He looked at her in the eyes.

"Does it feels like this? When you knew your dad didn't survived. I never feel something like this before. It hurt so much. Seokmin-ssi, I don't want to lost my dad. I can't live without him. He's the only reason to my happiness. And my mom too." Tears started to fell down her face.

Seokmin get closer to her and helped to wiped the tears away. Yeoreum shocked at his action but letting hin continued what he's doing. Yeoreum smiled at him. "You're so nice. You know, it would be nicer if you talk." She added.

They stared at each others eyes for minutes while Seokmin hands were still on her face. 'Shit, I think my heart's gonna explode. What did you do to me, Seokmin?' Yeoreum thought.

Then after that, the boys came. Suddenly someone open the door without knock. "HEY! DID YOU GUYS READY??!!!" Said the voice, shouted. Then the person froze as soon as he saw Yeoreum and Seokmin together.
