Why So Lonely? || Minsung 1/3 ✔️

59

My eyes hurt when they opened. I had a headache from crying so much last night. I sit up, searching for where I plugged my phone in last night.

6:03am

I had a message from both Minho and Chan, but I was too tired to even look at them.

I remove the blanket from my legs, letting it fall onto the couch. Standing, I go into the kitchen where I see a light. Changbin was eating cereal while on his phone.

"Morning," I say, sitting next to him.

"Morning, J. Hungry?"

I shake my head, "I don't have an appetite today. When are we leaving?"

"As soon as you get ready, or at least fix your hair so you don't have to do it when you get your clothes."

I nod, standing back up, "be right back."

I walk to the bathroom, flipping the switch. I looked awful. My face was puffy, and it was worse around my eyes. I turn on the tap, letting cool water run over my hands. I quickly rinse my face and brush back my hair. Today is definitely a hat day.

I walk back out, feeling a bit more awake. Changbin is waiting for me by the door. He smiles at me with sympathy laced within it.

We get into his car, no conversation starting between us. He just plays Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools, letting the beat flow.

We make it to my house quickly. I say I'll only be a minute before stepping out and walking to the front door. It was unlocked.

I peak my head in, the lights being shut off. I hurry up the stairs, changing into Minho's sweatshirt that I "forgot" to give back and clean jeans. I slide my shoes back on, grabbing a black hat to hide my awful looking hair. Sliding my bag on, I make sure to have my keys with me. With that, I go back down and exit the house.

He doesn't usually drive to school, so he parks at a restaurant since you have to have your car registered with the school. We walk side-by-side on the cement, getting to the school a bit earlier than usual.

I pull out my phone while leaning against my locker to check my messages.

I look up from my phone, being bored out of my mind. There was fifteen minutes before the bell rang for school to start. I slide down the metal box, deciding to scroll through and add more music to my playlist.

My eyes were droopy today. I knew I'd fall asleep in one of my classes. I lean my head against the locker, letting my body relax. I sit there for what feels like a good hour, but is really only a few minutes.

"Angel, wake up," a hand taps my shoulder, shaking my a bit.

I groan, my eyelids being too heavy to lift, "I'm tired. Leave me alone."

"Sorry baby, the bell is going to ring any minute. I don't think we're doing anything super important in geometry today. You can sleep there."

I nod, struggling to open my eyes. I slowly stand, immediately hugging Minho. I missed his hugs so much, even though he left at noon on Sunday.

When are you going to tell him? Tell him everything about your family. He's never questioned you about siblings or your parents. You need to tell him. It's important. You can't hide this forever.
