[C] Back To You || Woozi FF

Chapter 18

"C'mon Yumi! It's time to go to school!"Woong exclaimed from downstairs and fyi, yumi is my nickname.

I'm too lazy to go to school today and I don't want to see his face again but deep down, my heart says the opposite. My eyes are also heavy from all the crying last night and it feels a bit puffy.

I heave a big sigh as I went downstairs and as expected Woong who keeps on tapping his shoe against the floor with his arms crossed over his chest, impatiently waiting for me.

"I never told you to wait for me"I said in a monotone voice as I walked past him.

"Well duh but that's not the only reason why I'm waiting"he rolled his eyes at me and walk beside me.

"More specifically, I wanna ask you something"he added as his expression changed into a worried one.

I wonder what it is. I just hope it's not about why I was outside in the rain. I don't want to tell him about Jihoon did something to me because I know he'll become furious.

"What is it?"

I tried not to stutter as I rose one of my eyebrows at him while gripping the straps of my backpack. I somehow grew nervous and my legs are shaking a bit.

"I noticed that you've been acting off since yesterday so... What's wrong?"he started to asked, looking directly at me.

"U-Uh..."I avoided his eye contact trying to think of an idea but nothing came up.

"Don't lie to me, I can see your puffy eyes. Why were you crying that time? Did someone hurt you? I know it's not about something you lost"

We stopped walking at the sidewalk as he placed down his hands on my shoulder, trying to meet my eyes. He noticed everything. It's not that I have any other choice.

"It's..."I spoke up, hanging my head down while tightening the grip on the straps."...Jihoon"

"I knew it. He's no good of a person after all"he muttered but I heard it clearly.

I lift up my head as he brought his hands back to the side of his body from my shoulder.

"What did he do to make you cry like that?"he questions, getting all serious.

I tense up a bit, hands are already sweaty as I tried to find some words to explain it to him.

"He was angry that time because Mayuri told him that I harrased her and bullied her when he's not around..."I briefly explained, trying to hold the pain tighten in my chest.

He knows that I didn't actually do it. Ugh I fucking don't want to remember that incident. It's just making me hurt everytime I remembered it and making it hard for me to move on from him.

"You can just told him that you didn't do it"

"I did!!"I shouted, biting my bottom lips as tears welled up in my eyes."B-But... He just won't listen. He kept on accusing me on and on until he said that he doesn't want to be friends with me anymore. "

My cracking voice made him to widen his eyes a bit, gritting his teeth while curling his hands into fist.

"H-He didn't believe what I said... W-Why did he believe such lies?"

The tears in my eyes drop from my face as I tried to make it stop by wiping away the tears but it just keep on coming. My heart is aching so much that I want to endure it so bad.

"Please stop. I hate it when I see you cry"he engulf me in his warm embrace."It's actually broke my heart"

Idiot. It'll only make me cry some more.
