Sejun's POV
Somehow, I had a hard time sleeping last night as my mind replayed my conversation with Gab- on loop. I kept on cringing and I kept on apologizing to her in my mind. Too bad, she could not hear me.
Too bad we don't have mental telepathy.
I recalled how she saved that guy yesterday and I was in awe of how easy she seemed to do it. I don't know how to do CPR. How do you position yourself? Do you just pump?
I was tossing and turning the whole night and slept at around 2 am. I woke up early and regretted the fact that I did not get a good night's sleep. I was going to pay for this later. I would be cranky and sleepy and would probably need a liter of coffee.
I was still thinking about the exchange I had with Gab during the training session at ShowBT. Stell, my co-trainee, noticed that my mind was elsewhere and he tried to catch my attention by pulling off one of the hairs on my forearm.
"Awww!" I cried. I knew that I was a hairy baboon. It's not my fault I was made this way, but he did not have to pull one off just so I'd notice him.
"Why did you have to do that?!" I exclaimed, rubbing my sore arm. It was bad to hit a friend, I knew that. But I was considering it. I wanted to hit Stell so bad.
"Where's your mind off to? Korea?" he asked.
"Cavite," I answered.
"Huh?"
I sighed. "My mind is in Cavite," I clarified.
"Why? Are you anxious to go home?"
I guess there's no point in not telling Stell. I don't keep secrets from him. Or the other boys. The other boys consist of Josh, Justin, and Ken. The 5 of us are part of ShowBT's upcoming boy group and we have been training together for a year now.
"I was with Alex yesterday. We went to the hospital," I informed Stell.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked, concerned.
I shook my head. "She just got bitten by a rat," I explained.
"A rat?" Stell asked, on the verge of laughing. I admit, the whole situation seemed funny now but it was so stressful that time. Mom was not at home and I was left alone with Alex who decided to go rat hunting. My stress levels reached an all-time high yesterday.
I nodded. "Yes, a rat. Mom had another errand to go to yesterday and I was tasked to go with Alex to the ER about a tetanus shot. Anyway, I went and I got impatient so I kind of had an argument with a woman."
"Kind of?" Stell asked, knowing full well that I had a full-blown argument with the woman, not kind of. Stell knows me too well.
"Ok, I had an argument with a woman there," I admitted. "I wanted to apologize after I realized that I was wrong. But she left. Her shift already ended."
"So, you're guilty about what you did?"
"You don't have to ask that. You know I feel guilty about what I did." I rolled my eyes.
"Is she pretty?"
"Yes."
"You like her?"
"Probably. A very big possibility that I like her."
"Just like that?"
"You know I like passionate women, women who are serious about their jobs."
"She must have done something so awesome to have you hooked like that," Stell wondered.
