I sat on my bed and stared at my bedroom door, waiting for the knock that happened every day since I locked myself in here. I felt anxious and sick to my stomach as I waited. I didn't know how Bun would react to me actually opening the door and I felt as nervous as the day we first met in person. The light knock sounded through my room and I bolted for the door. I slowly pulled it open and an exhausted-looking Bun stood in front of me. A hand in the pockets of his sweatpants and his hair was in a mess. His head snapped up and met my eyes. Like the first day, I felt my heart pounding. I couldn't look away from him.
Before I registered what he was doing, I was in his arms and tears were flowing down my face. One arm was around my waist and the other held my head to his chest. I could hear his heart beating fast, and his voice came out raspy when he spoke, "You need to stop fucking doing this, Melody."
"I'm sorry."
"I don't care if you are. You have people who care about you, and I'm so tired of you just locking yourself away. It hurts when we can't help. When I can't help," his voice cracks, and his arms wrap even tighter around me.
"I'm sorry."
He pulls away, and his hand goes under my chin and brings my face close to his. His brown eyes were twinkling with unshed tears, and I felt my heartache as I saw the pain swimming in them.
"Quit pushing me away. Quit pushing us away. This is the second time since you moved here that this has happened. Let. Me. In."
I nod and he releases my chin, pulling me over to my bed. He sat down and crossed his legs while I sat across from him. I took a deep breath before diving into the issues I told Haru the night before.
"Is that seriously what you were so worried about?" Bun asked.
"It's just part of what is going through my mind."
"Give me a run down. We can slowly talk it out one by one."
"There are so many jumbled thoughts in my mind. I'm feeling nervous around Minjun. I know I did terribly on my chair test. I'm extremely homesick. All of these general studies are kicking my ass. I'm scared of more people associating me with all of you, and I feel like shit after snapping at you and Jimin."
"Okay, so let's get the easy one out of the way. Don't feel bad about snapping at us. You can apologize, but Jimin and I feel ten times worse for hurting you and we're both sorry for doing that. Secondly, you're going home in the summer, right?"
"Yeah, I'll go back for a few months and renew my student visa."
"That's only a few months away. If you push through and have your friends by your side, it'll be easy. Also, I think it is smart that you are getting a lot of your general studies out of the way. If you get most of them done early, you'll have more time to work on music in your later years of university."
"I know it'll be worth it in the end; it's just so stressful right now."
"You're a smart girl and I have full faith in you, okay?" he said, taking my hands in his.
