The Quiet Boy | Lee Seokmin

Chap. 24

Hyemin's POV

We heard about Yeoreum's dad, she were at her dad's funeral today that's why she was absenced. We all felt sorry for her. She have no one now. Sometimes us, her own bestfriends, ignored her and talk to our crushes instead. Sometimes we chose the boys instead of her.

Remembering back when we decided to hangout with the boys and left her. I suddenly felt guilty.

"We should visit Yeoreum." Raehyung said, making me snapped out of my thoughts. We all nodded.

It was recess time. We were eating with the boys. I saw Yoonseok were eating alone. I could see he was deep into his thought that he didn't even noticed that there was a girl were trying to talk to him.

Poor him. I thought that maybe he was thinking about Yeoreum too. Yeah, sometimes she's with him whenever we're with the boys. I've asked her why she decided to stay away from us whenever the boys were around the other day and she told me that she's a bit annoying with the boys flirting with us and it's super awkward.

I then told her to find her love but she just shrugged. From all the thoughts, I really felt sorry for her. But at least she have Yoonseok. Me myself were ashamed for being a bad friend of her. What kind of friends we are?

Yeoreum's POV

We arrived at his house and went in, getting a hug from Aunt Soojung. She kept saying that she'll be there whenever I need someone, she kept apologizing for my lost, she told me to stay strong and always happy. I nodded and smiled at her.

She kissed my forehead before she went back to what her doing.

Seokmin was already in his room. I guess he was cleaning himself. And I did the same too. Suddenly, an idea popped out from my mind.

"I want to go home." I said. I called Jungkook to picked me up and while he's on his way, I get ready. Just wear some casual clothes. I went downstairs to infrom the others.
I saw Aunt Soojung were at the living room, watching a drama. "Aunt Soojung?" She was shocked and as soon as she knew it's me, she smiled. "Yes dear?"

"I wanted to ask you something." She looked at me, wanting me to continue. "Can I, go back to my house for awhile?" I asked, looking down, afraid if she'll say no. I looked at her and saw she was smiling.

"Oh go ahead, darling. Take some time." She said and hugged me. I hugged her back and thanked her before I went out. 10 minutes waiting outside, Jungkook came. I greeted him as soon as I went into the car.

Then he drove away. The car ride was silent. Non of us didn't bothered to talk after what happened. We arrived. I stood in front of our house. Tears started to fell down, wetting my cheeks. "I miss everything." I said. And get in as soon as Jungkook unlocked the door.

I wandered around my house. I went upstairs and checked my room. It's empty since I've stayed at Seokmin's home. Next, I checked appa's room. I slowly opened the door and looked inside. It was neat and clean. His paperwork were not messy, my appa is such a clean man. I smiled.

'This room smells like him." I thought. I opened his drawer and look at his clothes. I took one and hugged it tightly as I started to cry. Jungkook then came beside me and patted my back. He was crying too because I heard his sobs.

It was on 2:05 in the evening. We were staying in my appa's room, our face were both swollen from crying. He was looking at his phone, eyes were still teary, meanwhile I was still hugging my appa's clothes.

Suddenly I heard a knock from downstairs. Both me and Jungkook looked at each other before went downstairs. I washed my face first before I went downstairs.
