One message from UrMin_Seho
One message from park.sa
My heart skips a beat after seeing the second username. After talking a few times, I have grown more and more curious about him. Whenever we talk, I get all happy and forget about whatever is happening in real life.
I decide to open them in order
UrMin_Seho Uhm my friend just ditched me to be with his girlfriend and I've never been more hurt.
Mikjoo_19 That friend is canceled, get a new one.
UrMin_Seho That sounds very tempting but it's fine cause it's only the first time. And they're cute together so I guess it's okay
Mikjoo_19 You always say 'I guess it's okay' when you lie
UrMin_Seho OKAY yeah, I'm mad! Like we had the whole weekend planned out, we were gonna have fun and at the last moment, he says no cause his girlfriend asked him to come over. Like ??? Can u have sex another time?
UrMin_Seho None of my other friends who are in a relationship do that
Mikjoo_19 How long has it been since they started dating and did you confront him?
UrMin_Seho It's been like a month and yeah but not really
Mikjoo_19 So you didn't
UrMin_Seho You caught me
Mikjoo_19 🙄
Mikjoo_19 You know the other guy I'm "talking to"
UrMin_Seho Yeah
Mikjoo_19 He sent me a message
UrMin_Seho Well, that's exciting what did he say?
Mikjoo_19 I didn't check yet
UrMin_Seho What are you waiting for??
I smile at my phone and exit the chat. I hover over the second username, hesitating for some reason but gather the courage to open it only to be disappointed.
park.sa I'm bored
Mikjoo_19 Are you always bored
park.sa no
Mikjoo_19 so you only talk to me when you're bored
park.sa bingo
Mikjoo_19 Your block button looks pretty nice I want to tap that
park.sa Did you just make a sex pun
Mikjoo_19 yes
park.sa oh wow... what happened to the innocent girl I was talking to before
Mikjoo_19 you and my friends are at fault
park.sa oh goodie you have friends
Mikjoo_19 You know, whenever we talk, I like to think that you won't make fun of me but I'm always let down
park.sa You might not believe me but I'm really nice. I'm like the whole package
Mikjoo_19 You're right I don't believe you
park.sa rude
Mikjoo_19 Uhm yeah anyways I need to go sleep before my dad comes and kills me
park.sa sure yeah goodnight read 22:57
park.sa say it back
I start typing but quickly hide my phone when I hear my door open, fear crawling withing me. "Why aren't you sleeping?" My dad asks and I hear the annoyance in his voice. "I was about to go to sleep before you came, daddy." I feel my hands shake beneath the covers and I see him approach, "So you're blaming me?" He asks in disbelief. But I'm quick to shake my head and repeating "no" but he strikes me across the face, the metal of the ring making it more painful. "How dare you try to put the blame on me?" "I'm sorry, this wasn't my intention." He slaps me across the face one more time before leaving the room. I feel something trickle down the side of my face and I immediately go to my bathroom. In the mirror, I see the cut left by the ring on my cheek. Sighing, I take out the first aid kit and start cleaning the wound. By the time, I'm down, tears are running down my face and I get in bed and I'm only reminded of my phone when I feel the buzz coming from it.
park.sa Are you mad at me?
Mikjoo_19 Oh sorry, something happened aha
Mikjoo_19 goodnight 😊
Once more, I fall asleep with dry tear stains on my face.
The next morning, I am woken up by my alarm clock blaring in my face. It's Monday. I have school. I start moving around in bed as a sign of annoyance. After a while, I finally get out of bed and do what I have to do.
I leave the house after shouting "goodbye" to my dad and as soon as I get out, I feel the taps of raindrops on my skin. "Does it always have to rain?" I groan and hurry to the bus stop, trying to find space under the shelter. The bus to school comes soon and after a short 45 minutes, we arrive in front of the school. I check my phone to see the time only to see a message from san, making me let out a soft giggle.
San Did the bus already come or am I just really early
Me
The bus already left I'm at school
San Fuck this is so annoying
Me
It's fine we have like 15 minutes left
San You're not reassuring me. Quite the opposite even. I'm even more stressed out now
Me sorry haha but I believe in you! you can do it
San you're my lucky charm the bus is here
I laugh at his comment and walk to my meeting spot where I wait for Eunji who has yet to show up.
Just then, I hear her voice mixed with multiple other ones. She sees me and gives me a wide grin. "Hey! Kim Soljoo!" She waves at the rest of her friends who disperce in different directions to do to their class and approaches me. Together, we make our way to our class while talking. "Okay so you know how this weekend, we have three days off instead of two", I nod as an answer and she continues, "We should do something!" I nod again. "I've been talking to a new guy friend and him and his friends all really good looking so maybe one of those days we can all meet up." I frown a bit, "What's his name?" "Hwang Hyunjin." "Doesn't he go to this school?" She nods with a big smile on her face, "We went to school together this morning!" I give her a small smile, "How cute."
