PERSONA

Chapter 16

He carried me in bridal style and went away from the ledge. For a second my eyes were locked to his. How can a person's eyes be beautiful? His dark eyes on my light eyes. Tears came out as I went down from his hand. As if on cue, he pulled me into a hug. My face came in contact with his chest as I cried silently with occasional sobbing.

"If you want to kill yourself you would kill all 5 of you. Do you think that will solve the problem?" he said.

I replied with another sob.

"Talk to me. I promised to help you and so I will. Angel, Oppa will help you. So spend another day with me," he said.

His voice was ever so calming and soothing as he stroked my hair gently to comfort me.My intention disappeared so as my time.

I awoke facing someone's chest. Probably Guan Lin, his hands were wrapped around me radiating warmth and comfort. His cologne brings familiar calmness. I closed my eyes and wished it was a dream to never be awakened from.

I realized it was actually Lai Guan Lin and was knocked out of this realistic dream. I laughed nervously as I just realised what the previous persona had attempted.

"Sorry about your shirt being soaked in tears," I immediately said as I realized the tear marked in his shirt. I also avoided his eye contact as I was flustered over the fact that I was crying on his chest a few minutes ago.

He awkwardly cleared his throat and said he was fine. He just walked ahead after saying it. I stayed for a moment and looked at the painting on the floor of the rooftop. I felt guilty for all my persona to have to deal with something I cannot handle.

Shrugging it off, I walked down following Guan Lin.I silently rode the bus with him.

-

I woke up all ready for school.I wore a white hoodie with blue jeans. I headed straight to school in order to avoid Guan Lin. I was sleeping on my desk when I felt someone tickling me. I thought it was because one of my best friends came before class.

"Don’t,"I mumbled as I swiped the hand away.

"Yah Jin Hyun! Why are you avoiding me. You never come for breakfast too,"  a familiar voice spoke.

I quickly straighten up only to see the only person I do not want to see. I put my head on the desk back. If I cannot see him he won't see me right?

-

The bell rang and I was the first one out after the teacher dismissed us.I speed walked hoping to avoid the one and only person. Unfortunately for me he is also living in the same house with me. What do I expect to be honest?

"Yah Jin Hyun! Wait up!" that same voice said and I fastened my pace.

Adding to my misfortunes, he caught up with me and hung his hand around my shoulder.

"Yah Jin Hyun, why are you avoiding me?" he asked.

I just ignored him. That does not stop him from asking the question over and over again. I guessed anger took over me.

"Because I'm embarrassed. I never really cry in front of someone and you are probably the first to see my weakness other than the nurse,"

Episode epilogue

Park Yena pov

I wore a red off the shoulder dress. I am currently waiting in the park Baek Hyu asked to wait at. Sitting on an empty bench, I waited for him.

After a while I saw him walking. His long brown trench coat was flying with the direction of the wind. His hair was styled instead of laying messily. We had a wonderful date with dinner at an Italian restaurant and watching a movie.We both enjoyed the time.

Ji Hyo pov

I just finished dinner and decided to go to my room. I was stopped by a girl called Yena.

"Yes?" I asked her.

"Do you like K-pop? I heard from your brother," she said.

I nodded.

"Omg! Which band?"

"Ateez,Got7, Stray Kidz and many other groups even girl groups,"

"Oh me too,"

Well that's how we became best friends. My first impression of her is immediately ignored, he can have Baek Hyu I guess.
