Chapter Twelve

🔹Twelve🔹

I found myself staring at my shoes while waiting for someone. He promised me to treat me an ice cream for today but he's nowhere to be seen. I huff lightly in annoyed.

"Mingyu, are you going to ditch me today?" I mumbled to myself, alone.

It's almost 2 hours, so I just gave up on waiting and stomp away from the convenience store. These days, those guys didn't hang out with me anymore. When I wanted to spend my time with them, they would give me reasons-mostly busy. Pretending not to take it straight to the heart, I always busying myself with school assignments and studying. If they want to stop hanging out with me, then I will try to understand their situation right now.

No, it's not that I feel bitter by getting ignored by them. It just a long-term relationship that you would never understand. We grew up together and they would always be by my side everytime. So, I feel empty without having them by my side.

"It's already 11pm and you're wandering alone again?"

I knew whose that voice belong to, so it doesn't matter if I ignore his appearances. We stand side by side on the side road, waiting for the bus to pick us up. Just in time, I see Mingyu with that new girl-what's her name? Serin? Yeah that girl, her name almost sounds like mine. They're walking together as if Mingyu forgot about his promise and left me hanging alone for 2 damn hours.

I clenched my fist tightly but soon cool myself down as it was nothing to make fuss at all. I also see Seungcheol looked at my direction through my peripheral vision.

"Move your pity stares out of me, Cheol. It annoyed me," I said while rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Should I pity you when I don't even know what situation you are in?" He said, seems to make a fool of me.

"You were looking at them, right? Don't worry, they were already parted away from each other. Jealous much huh?" He added.

"Stop it, Seungcheol-ssi! Don't you ever mention about it when you didn't know--," I got cut off again by him.

"I know, Erin. I'm a guy too just like Mingyu. What did you expect from guy like us? Promise is only a promise. By the way, he's coming so put your frown aside because it show your weakness infront of him," Seungcheol monotonously said.

"Rin? Seungcheol? What are you guys doing here?" Mingyu asked.

"Stargazing maybe," Seungcheol said.

I huffed hearing his sarcastic answer meanwhile confusion was written all over Mingyu's face.

"Nothing. Waiting for the bus like usual," I replied to his previous question.

He looks at his Polo watch, I might be think he realise about it but my assumption gone wrong.

"But, it passed 11 though. There will be no bus anymore after 11," he said, look at me weirdly.

"Ouh really? I must be not aware of the time after 2 hours of waiting. Tch. What am I up to anyways?" I said sarcastically.

"Then, I'm going first. See you guys tomorrow," I walked away from the place where I was standing between both of them.

"I will walk you home since we are neighbour as you mention before," Seungcheol grabbed my hand and we walked along together towards our own places.

Things keep changes when the time goes by and I don't know what will happen in the future. Will Mingyu and Wonwoo still be by my side all the time? Nah, I doubt that because of course why should they? Everyone change and I must not depend on them at all course.
