Chapter 24

Hope you like it!

"That took so long!" Kyung groaned as he sat down next to Parker. "I've only been in there for a few minutes, but it felt like forever."

"What are you talking about? You've been with us the whole day."

Kyung looked across the table at Alice surprised that she heard that and scratched his head. "Oh, yeah. Haha..." he muttered.

Alice frowned at Kyung and looked at him and Parker talking. "There's definitely something up with him. First, it was after we arrived and he hid from Julia and now he acts like he wasn't with us the whole day. But what could it be?"

"Alice?" Alice was startled by Nathan calling her and turned to him. "Is something wrong? You've been zoning out more than you normally. And you hardly do that."

"What does that supposed to mean?" Alice demanded and averted her eyes to the table. "Should I tell him?" She shook her head. "For your information, it's nothing. Can't I just zone out in peace?"

"Yeah, Nathan! Let her vibe in peace!" Josh butted in. "She isn't bothering anyone like that!"

"Exactly. She isn't yelling all the time then," Sam laughed.

Alice glared at them. "You guys are some sons of bitches."

"Don't talk about my mom like that!"

Kyung watched them yell and thought back at how Alice acted skeptical around him. He rested his head on his hand as he began tapping his cheek. "Does she have a problem with me? Or did Min do something awkward around her?"

Parker saw Kyung deep in thought and poked Kyung's side.

Kyung's body moved to the side as his dazed face turned shocked. He whipped his head towards Parker, covering the place where Parker poked him. "Do that again and I'll beat your ass," Kyung warned.

"You're ticklish?" A cheeky grin formed on Parker's lips when Kyung didn't respond to him. "Oh, really?"

"Hey, stop with your shit!" Kyung shouted, trying to hold Parker's wrist. "I'll kick your dumbass!"

Julia watched Alice shouting at Josh and Sam and turned to Parker and Kyung with a flat expression. "How aren't we kicked out yet?" She whispered and saw a waiter coming up to their table.

The waiter watched the others fight with each other and turned to Julia. "Um... you guys ready to order?" He asked her.

"Give me a second." Julia turned to the table and cleared her throat. She hit her fist on the table. "Are you guys done?" She shouted. The others looked at Julia wide-eyed and they sat straight in their seats. "We're ready," Julia smiled at the waiter.

In the two hours that they were there, it almost got out of hand again. Julia tried to keep them in check but gave up after the fourth time. She tried to get to know Kyung more while Josh joined their conversations from time to time. Parker was just happy that Kyung was befriending his friends easier than Min. It took some time with Min, but he loved it when they talk about their interests.

They were back in their room and Kyung came out of the bathroom with a towel around his neck. He dried his hair as he sat down on the bed next to Parker, who was busy on his switch. "What're you playing?" He asked as he peeked at his switch. He saw that Parker was having tea with a blue-eyed boy who was wearing a black and blue uniform.

"Three Houses. I can stop with it when I'm done with this tea time," Parker replied. "Sam asked me if we want to go with them to the pool."

"So that's why I found a pair of swim trunks in our bag." Kyung lied down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. "I'm not in the mood. I feel more tired than normal."

"Understood." Parker put his switch next to Kyung and grabbed his phone. He sent the message in the group app and grabbed his switch again. "Do you have a headache? I have some painkillers if you want to. Do you need some tea? I can grab one from downstairs if you like to. Or you wanna-"

"Enough, Park. I'm fine," he chuckled. "I'm only a little dizzy, nothing else."

"Okay, but tell me if you need anything," Parker smiled and saved his game. While he was turning the switch off, he heard knocking on the door.

Kyung stared at the door and turned to Parker. "Are you waiting for someone?"

Parker shook his head. "Could be a cleaning lady." He stood up and went to the door. He opened the door and saw Julia standing in front of him in her swimsuit. He looked a little more down and saw Alice wearing a bikini with her arms crossed.

"Hey, guys. What's up?" Parker asked and moved to the side as Alice stormed into the room. "What's wrong with her?"

"I tried to stop her," she sighed. "I really did."

"Why? What does she want?"

"She wants to confront Jumin," Julia answered and Parker went back to them. He saw Alice glaring at Kyung as he watched her, bored out of his mind.

"The fuck do you want?" Kyung asked, still laying on the bed.

"I know there's something up with you," she said. Parker panicked after that came out of her mouth and Julia rolled her eyes.

"I already knew that by the looks you gave me," Kyung replied, his expression not changing. "But I just wanna know what the fuck you want from me? I don't have time to share shit with you."

"You have a split personality, right?" She blurted out.

Kyung raised his eyebrow and sat up. "Where did you get that bullshit from?" He demanded.

"How did you come up with that conclusion?" Parker asked.

"Well, I heard that Sam wanted to watch Split later and told me s little about it. And when I thought about it, I think that it relates to what happened today," she explained. "He was acting completely different when we arrived at the venue in the morning and when we were leaving. And if it's true, I just want to know, because I heard some scary things about people with that disorder. Like some of them are killers or psychopaths and-"

"It's not true," he whispered as the air around him darkened. "It's not true! IT'S NOT TRUE!"

Parker's eyes widened and looked at Julia worried. "This is bad."

"J-Jumin?" Alice squeaked as he stood up.

"YOU'RE SAYING ALL THIS BULLSHIT WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY!" He screamed as Alice backed away out of fear. "DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW I FEEL WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT I'M A KILLER?!"

Julia grabbed Alice's arm and pushed her out of the room. "We're going," she announced. "Call me if you need some help."

Parker nodded and turned back to the person in front of him who was wiping his tears away angrily. "Taeyung?"

A/N and done! Please don't call Alice a bitch or a hoe for what she said. There are a lot of people who don't know anything about the illness or know it from the movie Split. That was one of the reasons why I began writing this book. I want to educate the people who read it about the disorder without giving false information (like I did in Assassination Time). I'm not happy that my fifteen-year-old mind wrote about it because the only information that I have was something that I read on Wikipedia. Now, I'm more educated about it and want to educate others while writing an easy-going slice of life story. But anyway, the next chapter will be up Friday and we'll get to know more about Taeyung. I'm gonna continue watching this video and don't kill mice
