“Sometimes sit down and talking is tougher than a fight.”
Myung-He's POV
For breakfast, somehow Jeongguk seems distant. Just when I had decided to tell him everything ,every time I tried to talk to him he avoided my gaze.
Two of us were sitting at the cafeteria table together but he didn't speak to me. This wasn't good. I'd really made him angry at me it seemed.
I didn't think I could force anything down now. I hadn't even said as much as a 'hello' to him today.
It was like that until noon. As soon as I realised that I was overwhelmed by sadness. I should have just let him laugh at me if it was going to turn out like this. We would have laughed together in the matter. I would be fine with him laughing, being teased but then he would hug me tightly and ask 'Were you scared?'
I finished lunch quickly and went straight to my room. I had nothing to do there but I felt it was better than being ignored by him and having to hide my emotions.
While I was lounging on my bed staring at the ceiling there was a knock at the door.
"Yes?" I started to get up.
"I'm coming in." Gguk opened the door expression disgruntled.
"Ah... Gguk—"
"What?" he questioned angrly.
“Nothing.”
That was no good. It was scary being glared at by Jeongguk. I cast my eyes down towards the floor.
"I'm going for a walk. You want to come?" he asked. He sounds formal.
"Um..."
"If you don't want to, I'll just go by myself."
It sounded like that had been his plan from the beginning. Why? I'm not a stranger now, am I?
Jeongguk was such an idiot getting angry all by himself without knowing how the other person felt. Does it hurt to try and talk with me? This time I might open up. In Fact I want to open up.
"I'll go with you!” His eyes widened at my yell. “I will come” then my voice cracked. Uhm oh..no, don't cry…don't cry. I have to be stubborn and stop showing my vulnerable side to him.
His expression right away goes back to an irritated one and eyes having a glint of coldness.
"You don't have to make yourself go," he continued coldly. “Don't force yourself”
"I'm not making myself do anything. What's with you? getting angry all by yourself and ignoring me?" I raised my voice higher than intended.
"You're the one who ignored me first." He shouted back.
Dammit.
"Well yeah but..." I don't want to shout or yell. Let's give it up. It's better to be silent than open up my mouth to fight with Jeongguk. Because at the end I will be the one suffering so much.
"First I may have ignored you but I'm not angry." He replied, reading through my emotions on my face.
"Liar. You've been mad all day. You didn't talk like you used to do and ignored me."
"I haven't," he said sitting down next to me on the bed and putting an arm around my shoulders.
"I wasn't angry. Just a little you know... Hurt."
Oh? I hurted him.
"Jeongguk, that wasn't my intention"
"You wouldn't talk to me last night. You avoided me going back to your bed."
"I was shocked."
“Because I left you?”
"There were a lot of reasons. I'm sorry Gguk. Ah!..."
The bed springs creaked slowly. Jeongguk's majestic face stared down at me for a second before I realised he was on top of me, caging with his hands.
I accepted Gguk's position against me.
"I'm sorry for hurting you," I apologised and he shook his head.
"I was just being greedy. I want to know everything about you. It's a bad habit. I will try to control it."
His warm hands stroke my cold face. His touch devoured my sadness and poured out the soft warmth of assurance.
"Now can you tell me what happened?"
“Yeah, I guess.”
He rolled over and laid to his side. His face intently staring at me as he propped up his head with his palm.
"I think I run into someone when you leave me behind," I pause not to know how to convince him what I actually witnessed. His face is serious.
"Then? Did something happen?" Gguk asks carefully, from the look he isn't worried from outside but his eyes scream murder.
"The thing is he just disappeared into thin air, not only him but the man who dragged him away too. I couldn't believe my own eyes." I paused and gazed at Gguk.
He said nothing and waited for me to continue.
"I think I just saw something way too unnatural. How could I tell you something that I'm not sure? Was it a ghost? I don't even know.”
"So, that's why you were silent the whole time?"
“I guess nobody would believe me and my story of seeing a ghost, I thought I would shut up until everything in my head settled down.”
"But I'm not like just anyone to you Myung. You know that right?" He pulled me closer to him and that was all I needed, he would be here to listen to me.
