Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#2

- Yerin... I know you're awake.
Rena said. Today we were supposed to go to the dance studio. But I didn't feel like doing anything. Actually I felt that way everyday.
- I changed my mind..
I said, and pulled the covers in my bed over my head.
- you can't do that again.
She said.

I guess I had been canceling a lot of our plans lately.
I got out of bed, and sighed loudly.
- it can't be that bad. You love dancing.
Rena said, and handed me some clothes from my closet.
Well, our closet, Rena probably had more of her clothes in there than me.
- of course I love dancing. But I hate life.
I said.
- god, you're making me depressed.
she said, making me laugh.
- I'm sorry, ok? I just need to cheer up.
I said.
- that's why we're going to the dance studio.
She said.
She was right. Dancing always cheered me up.

We ate breakfast, and got ready to leave.
I decided to go to my brothers room before we left.
- I'll be right back.
I told Rena.
- take you time..
she said, and tried to smile. But it just looked like she felt sorry for me.

I nocked on my brothers door, and went inside.
- Yerin?
He asked.
- obviously. Are you blind now too?
I joked, hoping it would make him laugh. He never laughed lately.
- don't make me laugh, it hurts.
Jaehyuk said.
Ops..
- shouldn't you be in the hospital in this condition?
I asked him.
- can't afford it.
He said, and sighed.
- but I do.. I can pay.
I said.
- no, I'm not taking your money.
He said harshly.
- I've been taking your money my entire life. Why won't you let me repay you?
I almost yelled.

Jaehyuk just stayed silent, so I left his room.
That sick.. stupid.. stupid person I love..
The sick part, literally. Actually the stupid part was pretty accurate too.

I went back to the hallway, and put on my shoes. Rena was already waiting outside.
I walked out the front door, and noticed Rena talking on the phone.
- no.. I don't know where she is. I've told you this a hundred times.
She said to the person on the phone.

Was she talking about me? Were they still trying to find me?

Rena hung up the phone as soon as she noticed me.
- that was uhh.. my mother.
She said, but I could tell she was lying.
Especially because her mother wasn't even alive.
I decided not to comment on it.

We got into my brothers car, and drove to the dance studio. I had a free pass to use any room there, because I knew the day manager well.

As we entered the studio, a bunch of kids came over to greet me. I would sometimes help out in their ballet classes.
After the children finally let me go, Rena and I went to the locker room to change.
- we should totally get ice cream later.
Rena said.
After we had changed, we headed for the room we always used.

-Yerin? Is that you?
Someone behind me asked.
I turned around, and then I saw him.

It was Kino.
What was he doing here?
Was he going to tell people that he saw me? Would they find me? Oh god.
- Kino... I.. what are you doing here?
I asked him.
- my family owns this place.
He answered, as he came closer.

Out of every dance studios in the country, his family had to own this one?
- can you just pretend you didn't see me?
I asked.
- I don't know.. I'll have to think about it.
He said.
Damn it.

I started walking away, but he stopped me.
-everyone hates you for leaving.
kino said, and laughed.

this was funny to him? if he only knew why i left. but maybe he did know. maybe everyone did. seunghee had probably told everyone. i wonder how hongseok reacted, if she had told him. would he understand? or did he hate me for not telling him? lying to him?
- do you even know why I left?
I asked him.
- everyone does. You think someone pushed you down the stairs.
He said, like it was no big deal.
Wait.. I think someone pushed me? No. I knew someone pushed me.
- it's true.
I said, glaring at him.
- I don't really care.. Yerin.
He said.
- I'm not surprised.
I said.
- since you're gone now, things may finally get back to normal.
He said.

I didn't really know what to say. But then I realized I had to ask him something. I just couldn't help it.
- does.. Hongseok.. I mean, is he ok?
I asked.
- you broke his heart, what do you think?

• Hongseok's POV•

Kino had finally left our dorm, so I actually went outside of my room.
I went to the bathroom to throw his new toothbrush in the toilet.
Wait.. this is so childish.

I'll just go eat his food instead.
As I was about to walk down the stairs, I heard crying.
It came from Yuto's room.
I decided to nock on the door.
- is everything ok?
I asked.
- this is not a good time.
Yuto said from inside his room.

I was about to leave, when the door suddenly opened.
It was Seunghee. I noticed she was the one crying.
- I'm so sorry.
She told me.

She was talking about the fact that she got so upset yesterday that she trashed Yerins room.
How could she do that? I wanted to be mad at her, but I knew how she felt.
- it's ok.
I told her, and tried to smile.
- I got you this.
She said, and tried to hand me.. a bra. A pink bra. Yerins bra.
- yeah... I'm gonna go now.
I said, and left the room.

Time to eat Kino's food.

AN: what did you think of this chapter?

So I love Kino but I kinda need him to be an asshole right now.
Also I will try to update every day, I feel bad for not updating for over a month.
