lost heart

Chapter 2

The sunlight slipped through the sides of the curtain as I switched of my 10th and final alarm, falling out of bed whilst doing so.

Time to get up, lazy ass, I told myself.

If I didnt fall off my bed I'd go back to sleep without knowing it. But suddenly I was met with the coldness of the room and I started shivering. I quickly grabbed my hoodie from my headboard and whipped it on as I stomped down to the bathroom. Waking up early is not my thing.

Once I got ready I grabbed a fruit from the fruit basket as I was, yet again, running late, just when I thought I'd be earlier than usual. That's when my phone rang. It was Eunsol.

"ARE YOU AWAKE?" She screamed at me through the phone, "why did you ignore my call earlier?"

"What call? And I'm out, I'm running I wont be too late."

"Well hurry. Why do I have to always call to check on you? IT FEELS LIKE IM YOUR MUM."

"Okay mum you're slowing me down now bye. At least I live nearby so I technically am fine." And I hung up on her.

I strolled into class a little earlier than the previous day, 5 minutes earlier. Thank God I managed to wake myself up.

"Oi Miso, why do you never actually try to come early?"

"Sorry but no one is as bothered as you for school."

"So did you see what I sent you?"

"No," I said as I checked my phone. She didnt even send anything, "wait what are you even-"

Then a notification came in,

ES: I didnt wanna say this out loud but I mean I saw Jaehyun yesterday when doing my shift at the shop and he asked how you were.
Me: mhm yeah so..?
ES: No I just thoght you'd wanna know
Me: Oh-

I gave her an odd look.

"That wasnt so important-" nope, I knew deep down this is what I've waited to hear about, him asking about me. But now he has, I dont know how to feel. Because I didnt hurt him, he hurt me.

"Yoon Mi So!" Mr. Seo exclaimed sternly as if he had repeated himself for the nth time.

"Yes sir?" I asked, snapping out of my thoughts.

"Pay attention."

"Ah yes sorry sir." I said as I returned to highlighting my notes and he continued to speak. First period had started, it was history and yes Mr. Seo was our teacher.

In this period, Seonghwa sat at the desk next to me, and I dont know why but I feel so strange. A lot of the time I feel like hes looking at me but like that's not possible it's probably my paranoia. I quickly glanced at his desk and saw his head turn away from my direction.

Why does it feel so strange? It's because we were kinda close before, our mums were colleagues and once in a while we would meet at eachothers house.

Oh wow, I forgot again didn't I? We're going to his house today.

At lunch, Eunsol and I got our food, then went to sit outside.

"How was lesson?" She asked, knowing who sits next to me.

"Well, yes."

"What's it with you and your dumb short responses?"

"Oh you admitted I'm dumb thank you."

"Well yes you are, not academically but like, in life." She moved back as she spoke knowing I'd smack her and I did.

"Bitch shut up. How am I dumb in life?"
