23: Im Jaebum

《Chapter: 23》Im Jaebum

I don't... I don't even love him... but it hurts, I feel a hard clutch on my heart. It's like when my mom died, yet such a different feeling.

Tears dwell my eyes again as I stand in front of my house door. I knew taeyong was watching me, and I wasn't going to look back.

I step closer, get my keys and open  the door; the door that my father would always slam when he got home.

I take a sniff of the air as I close the door. Hmm kind of missed this smell. I go upstairs to my room... I could still see Taeyong's room from my window. I close the curtains.

Why? Why am I so angry at him when he just lied?

Because I probably started falling for him too. When he said those words... It worried me, I thought he was lying. But after what we did ... or the way he kissed me. Or he slightly flirted with me... damn you Lee Taeyong.

[A week later]

(Taeyong)

I miss her... fuck it's been only a week and I want to hug her again or actually take her to a real date.

Fuck! I know I fucked up... and I was actually telling her the truth when I was drunk. I do like her. I did fall for her. And I get jealous when I see her with Yuta.

I skip breakfast just because now I wake up late... because I just can't sleep.

^Ding Dong^

I hear the doorbell ring. Thinking it's her, I run to the door with my pj's. Although I was excited, my face looked like shit.

"Chae-! What the fuck" it's Yuta
"Woah that's not a way to greet your friend... damn what happened to your face? Have you been not sleeping?"
"I ... yes"
"Does Chae know? Chaeyoung!"

He yells inside the house.

"She... doesn't live here anymore."
"Taeyong... lmao dont lie, just tell me you don't want her close to me"
"Im not lying! She went home, I miss her like crazy man..."
"What? What happened?"

•••

After he came in, I explained everything. Even though I do get pissed at him, he's still my friend. Plus he actually helped me get better at moments like this.

"Taeyong... I did lie tho, I don't like her. I mean yeah she's nice and pretty but I knew you'd fall like this... so I tried making you jealous."

"Damn I'm not in the mood to hit you right now. Dude, since the day she left, I have had my curtains open to see if she has been up to something. But.. she has her curtains closed since"

"Tsss that's sad man..." he says patting my shoulder. "Then who's that?" He asks pointing at a car that parked in front of her house. A man got out of the car, he had a black leather jacket and jet black hair.

"You're looking at him too right?"
"Yeah I am" I say.

"Ohhhh he's Im Jaebum, he's a year older than us... he left school to go live in another country..."

"Im.. Jaebum? The guys that punched three other guys in 8th grade?"
"That's surely him, I heard during those times that some guys picked on his friend, but later left to Thailand, guess now he's back"
"Oh.."

If he wouldn't have left, I'd be dead meat by now.

"I suppose that friend was Chaeyoung"
