How's life with EXO?

Chapter 56: She's still here

Hospital. Young's POV.

"Young you got to be fast. She's on her way there too, I know how much you hate seeing them together. I hate to say this, because I sound so bad, but please just hurry up. For your sake."

I'm dying to see you in a good condition. As much as possible want to see you awake. So this is what you call a "mental breakdown," huh? I'm hopelessly running here crazy that if ever I stop I might end up being diagnosed with spastic diplegia. Well, ofcourse it could be possible. My legs can't even move on their own, I'm just forcing it. For you--- for you. Hell, why is the room so far? Dang it! is this some kind of maze, that whoever gets to the end gets to bring home the biggest prize first? Kris...

"Is oppa alright?" It was the first question I heard the moment I took left, when my feet coincidentially took its break. My heart hopped, expecting the same old person from before, and after a slight gaze... I decided not to continue another step. "Hey! Wait!" Her voice added fuel to my burning feet and led me running faster than what I've expected.

I ran far away from that section of the floor, until she lost me and never seen any traces of me. I saw her stomp her and feet and scratching her head, she hissed and puffed, like she was intentionally finding me for some reason that might change my perspective of her . After looking around steady in one place, she finally gave up on looking for me. It's not like I'm needed around with her attendance on check. Seeing her leave her position, I got out from the place I was hiding in. I heeved a sigh and slue my head to the direction she went, to make sure that she was no where to be found.

My heart and mind's on a battlefield by now, probably on different forts just to know who'll win and who'll get the chance to dominate my whole being. I stop every second as I endure the pain, but squirming was way too impossible to be shackled in. I hold on to the left part of my chest, trying to find the exact spot where it hurts. It's poking, something's poking my heart. Maybe it's from running and the undeniably great tension the moment she chased me.

I looked straight ahead to find an open cafeteria in the middle of the huge institute, just to calm myself at least. I sat there for awhile and tried to deter my pain. After some time a guy in a clean white long sleeves approached me. Seeing that kind of clothing, made me nervous thoroughly. Sure, I was expecting so much that I ended up being disappointed to know that it's just a waiter waiting for me to say what'll I order. "Miss, is there anything you'd like?" He said pointing on their menu board. I bob my head once, returning a reassuring smile. "Coffee please...and do you have warm packs here too?" Returning the smile I gave, "We don't have warm packs in here, but I'll make sure to give you one of mine." He then showed a thumbs and left me faster than any natural speed. As expected from a long time waiter.

I rub both of my hands together, creating friction to make me feel less of this wintery feel. Today's so cold, aish. What time is it anyway? I looked at my phone. It's 1:30 in the afternoon--- Eh?

Click.

"Noona, I forgot to tell you the reason why I'm in school today. Please take note that today's our general rehearsals for the play. Sorry to interrupt you in such an important matter, I know where you are, hyung told me, but please be here. I'll be waiting, the whole staff will be waiting. " -Jungkook.

"Y'all! Is that Baekhyun and Tao from EXO?" Someone from nowhere unanticipatedly shouted. Meanwhile, I was curled into a little ball. Concerned about what they'll do if they see me here and if they do approach me publicly, then the truth will be easily found. But man, what's to lose? If it's for someone dearly, if it's for his happiness and freedom, what matter should I oppose from? Probably--- I mean, sure. The main thing that they'll care about when my identity explodes is the worthless fact of me being an heir of a big time korean CEO who lives in the Philippines owning a well known company that still runs oh-so meaningful and loyal for it's every client and consultant. I'm a hundred percent sure, that if netizens weren't to know that fact, my face will be forever flattened by their wrong impression of me. Seeing me as a burden... as a heavy load on Kris' back, but then, is it that the only way for people not to see me as an encumbrance? Yet, see me as Kris' inspiration that's strives him to do his very best on performances; but then is it easy to convince them?
