HEEYOUNG

"Feeling better?" Junmyeon asked as he saw me exit Sehun's room.

I nodded shyly, a ghost of a small smile on my lips. "Do you know where Chanyeol is?"

Junmyeon sighed, "You can't see him yet, Heeyoung-ssi. Don't worry, I'll let you know when he's feeling better."

Sehun appeared, "You ready to leave?"

I nodded, I waved at Junmyeon and he smiled at me. The dorm was messy. There were wrappers everywhere and slippers were scattered near the door. It's agonizing to think that these boys are too busy to even clean their living space. If only I was feeling good, I would've cleaned.

"Heeyoung-ah, I talked to the manager. You're given a month of rest." Sehun said as he turned on the engine. "Everything's too messy right now. We won't include you in the group's mess."

I sighed, "Is that the reason? Or you're just not letting me see Chanyeol?"

Sehun chuckled, "That too. It's best to give hyung some space. He thinks you're his first love. He gets aggressive by the mere thought of her. We can't risk your safety."

"Why does he think I'm his first love?" I mumbled. "Do I resemble her that much?"

Sehun glanced at me as he drived, "We haven't seen her face. Hyung must be delusional."

I stayed silent and allowed Sehun to talk more. "Maybe it's because you share alot of background. Yunhee was our age, and she's from your hometown as well. Maybe Chanyeol hyung was just shocked by the coincidence."

I nodded, biting my lip. "Who's taking care of him?"

He sighed, "He went back to Eunpyeong-gu, at his parent's house. Just like you, he's given a month of rest."

None of this would've happened if I didn't enter this job. Chanyeol won't break his own heart thinking I'm his first love if I hadn't taken this opportunity. He won't be suffering from something he already was trying to get rid of if I hadn't allowed myself to take this job. Why do I feel like this is all my fault?

And now, Kyungsoo and Chanyeol are drifting away because of me.

I thanked Sehun when we reached my apartment. He offered to cook for me but I immediately declined because I know he had a busy day for today. I switched on the lights to my living room and I immediately sat on my black couch.

Today was too tiring. I glanced at my phone when it rang.

Kim Heejin calling...

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Ya! Noona! I heard from Sehun hyung that you collapsed again!"

"Heejin-ah, calm down, alright?"

"Where are you?!"

"In my apartment. I just arrived."

"Ya! Why are you there?! Come home here. You're sick!"

I chuckled, "I'm not sick, Heejin-ah."

"Noona, come here tomorrow. Stay here for the rest of the month. Arasseo?"

I nodded nonchalantly, "Okay, I will. I need to pack some clothes. I'm hanging up."

"Alright."

I ended the call and lazily went inside my bedroom. I glanced at the vanity mirror and saw my anklet again. It reminded me of Chanyeol. Should I try calling him? Will he answer? What if he hates me now?
