+kim sarang

Life is full of regrets, and mistakes, but they said because of those we become stronger next time.

But what if there is no next time? What if, on the 1st time everything was such a mess, that those mistakes and regrets didn't make you stronger, but weak...and pitiful.

Even tho, you tried to smile, and look strong infront of those people who cares for you, cause you don't want them to worry for you, but deep down inside you are breaking, crumbling and crying

Because of those mistakes and regrets in the past..

"Sarang?" My big brother entered the room holding a tray of food. I stopped what I was doing on the study table and gave him a pale smile.

He looked worried, I can see it. He placed the tray on the side of my study table. "C'mere.." He said gesturing me to seat next to him on my bed, my body immidietly reacted to it and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Tell me what's bothering you" He straitforwardly asked holding my hands. I looked down, "There's nothing bothering me." I blankly said.

"You're lying" He pointed raising my head using one of his palm on my cheek. "I know you, Kim Sarang. You lock yourself in your room and over-study when something is wrong" He pointed everything what I just did now.

I smiled, "There is really nothing, I just studied because I wanted to and I wasn't feeling well, trust me" I assured him, but he still didn't seem to be convinced.

"Okay, I trust you, just...tell me when something is wrong, I'm always here for you" He patted my head before standing up. I nodded, I'm sorry

H left the room as I slammed my body on the bed looking at the ceiling before covering my eyes with my wrist.

"I wasn't my fault......"

~•○●○•~

"Yow, whats with the puffy eyes?" He approached me as I walked my way to class, "Did you cry?"

"Please don't bother me, I'm not in the mood...Kim Yohan" I rudely said to him hugging my books tighter before fastening my pace leaving him behind.

This time, he didn't chase after me.

Are you gonna turn your back on me? Do you also believe what they said?...Huh.

I arrived the classroom and this time, everyone looked at me, with despise. what happened?

"Kim Sarang, you disgust me" One of my classmate said crossing her arms around her chest standing from her table. And everyone followed her attitude towards me. "What did I do wrong?" I whispered to myself.

I sat on my seat facing now my vandalized desk with such hurtful words carved into it.

I gripped on my skirt looking down. I must have been a big sinner on my past life, thats why this is happening.

I pulled out my notebook and a pen and scribbled through the pages. I put on my headphones listening to music and started doing what I am supposed to do.

I can still hear you...No matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I just can't.

Not long after, I felt someone tap my shoulder from behind making me look. "Hi" I read the movement of his mouth before I removed my headphones.

"How are you, Sarang?"

"Are you required to know, Choi Yeonjun?" I sassed against him before turning my back again on the way of putting my headphones again I stopped when he placed something on my desk as I look at him again. "Cheer up!" He gave me a thumbs up.

I looked back at my table and saw a piece of bread with a smiley face on it.

I smiled.

~•○●○•~

I haven't seen Yohan the whole morning eversince I have been rude to him. Have I gone too far? I mean he was just being nice asking me as a
frienㅡclassmate.

I packed up my items and decided to go to one of the club rooms so there would be less people around. "Hey, wanna have lunch together?" Yeonjun asked standing infront of me.

"Sorry, I have something else to do" I said pushing him slightly aside walking out of the classroom.

On the way to the club room, I felt a bunch of eyes staring at me and mouth talking bad about me.

"Sarang has been colder than before...didn't you see how she treated Yohan earlier and Yeonjun just now?"

"I bet she's afraid she'll be overthrown by Yoojung again"

"Heh, she's a devil vixen behind those angelic look."

"I still can't believe the girl I idolized before did that"

Not a single thing positive about me.

I gripped on the door knob of the room about to open it when I heard a very familliar voice.

Out of fear I stepped back.

"So, you wanted to replace Kim Sarang?" He asked with a serious tone which made me peek by the window.

He sat by his desk with a frown looking at her. "Yeah, I mean, isn't it my original position?" She questioned making him raise an eyebrow.

"Listen here, you left and suddenly appeared again, your previous records are not counted...What matters is now" He said.

"Did I forget to mention, she no longer wants to be in the same club as you?" She said which made me angry.

I never said anything like that! And he knowsㅡ

"All of the sudden? As far as I know, this club means so much to Sarang" He defended, "And even she wants to leave, I won't allow her, she only belongs to me." He emphasized the last word which made me smile out of the blue.

"It seems, you have also been manipulated by Sarang" She laughed, "Didn't you remember what happened years ago? You were there, you know what she did" She pointed that out again.

I saw him stack his papers and said with no hesitation, "I know, and I know Sarang, whether she did it or not, I know the truth will come out soon. I believe in her".

Thank you for believing in me...

"But, even so? I'm better than her in every aspects, and she hates you, why defend her? I mean, she doesn't even appreciate the things you dㅡ"

My blood boiled and burst the door open, "Haven't you gone too far, Choi Yoojung? This time you are trying to ruin me infront of Kim Yohan?" I yelled.

Their eyes widen. "S-Sarang?"

"Eversince we were young, I was okay with you ruining my image infront of everyone, I was okay with you taking everything away from me, I was okay even if you hurt me," I said with mixed emotions,

"Even know, I'm okay...but this time, not with my only friend...."

I don't want to be lonely anymore...He was the only one who understood me, please...don't take him away...
