Evil Souls 🔞

Chapter 40

It's like everything is going on in a slow pace. I'm not able to figure out the reason behind it, but everything is dead slow, and it is scary. It scares me, that we'll be late or it'll be too late. It's frustrating that how close we reach to the finish, we're pulled back again to the start.

We are still stuck inside the maze that we entered a long time back. Each time we take a step, a new wall is being created. We're forced to wait, wait until they are ready to put themselves in action. I know what it is, we're puppets of their strings. We are dancing to their guidance while they're sitting behind the walls and watching the show.

Everyone are scared, impatient. They all are fighting for me, considering me their family, see me as their friend. Kara's word still rings in my head; 'And always remember, when all the doors to the light closes, the god lighten up the whole path to guide you, instead of letting you wander inside the door on your own.'

Just like that, when I lost my parents, God gave me these people to cherish and treasure. Maybe it's too much for me, but being with them in the time of my scarcity, feels normal. Normal to be with family and friends, have dinners and lunches in between some of our breakdowns, go on shopping with some carefree freaks, make fun of your boyfriends. It's all normal. And I don't think it's bad to forget about your business and problems for just a little bit of time.

And here I am, again, trying to forget about all the problems behind my back, and trying to enjoy for just a bit. How badly I want to live like normal people does. Have friendly weekend, go on a vacation, go to the beach with my boyfriend, have dates with my brother and just spend every night with my love, peacefully, without any tensions of the world.

But the truth is, I don't wish for it so bad, so that I start to envy it. I just hope to spend my life like it, not really chasing for it. I'm happy with what I have with me right now. My life has taught me to do so, to cherish what I have with me. A heart warming family, few crazy friends and a loving boyfriend. Keeping aside all the problems and motives, I'm trying to enjoy just for a day.

That's what I kept in my mind before I stepped out of the house in the morning with Hana and Hueningkai. As it's Saturday, we're about to go to Mr. Yoo's annual event. Hana helped me pick my dress of the night, and Hueningkai just accompanied us. Through out the shopping, he had a disinterested look on his face. Of course he'd have. No male on this planet likes to go on a shopping with women. How sad it is.

And to be exact, right now, I'm standing in front of the wall size mirror of our room and admiring myself. I'm not the person to admire myself, but tonight, I'm.... looking good? Yeah, good, even better.

The red sweater knitted dress hugs my body tightly, showing the curves that I never want to show. But tonight, right now, I don't give a damn about them, because I'm looking better than I ever does. The sleeves of my dress touches below my elbow elegantly, the turtle neck is giving away to highlight my makeup boldly. The soft eyeshadow and sharp liner, making my dark brown eyes pop out. The lips tinted in red looks luscious. The corner of my lips are curved up as I admire myself for the hundredth time.

I'm glad that I'm wearing tights below it, otherwise the temperature outside is capable of killing me.

The door clicks open, startling me. My head snap to the direction of the mirror, which allows me to have a full reflection image of the room. Jungkook steps inside the room closing the door behind him. His eyes locks with mine in the mirror as he takes slow steps towards me.

Few minutes back, he dressed in front of me in a black tuxedo. And to my surprise, now he is having a red tie around his neck, matching my red dress. My eyes failed to notice a black lean box in his hand when he entered the room, and now when he is standing behind me, it's noticeable. He stands just an inch behind me.
