12 CHAPTER 11

Min Soohyun

I went to the rooftop and laid on the bed... I started tearing up... Just then someone entered the rooftop... I looked around and it was Jihoon, at this point, I couldn't stop my tears. I stared at him blankly and he asked, "What are you doing here at this time, alone and crying....?" I looked away and he laid beside me. I wiped my tears away and asked "Why are you here-e?" Why did slutter? "Well, I saw you walking to the stairs to the rooftop so I followed you..." He replied. It was silent after that we both were just enjoying each other's silence after some time I decided to break the silence by asking "You'll not ask me why was I crying?" And looked at him only to see him already staring at me "You have reasons to cry I didn't want you to break down in front of me" He said and moved a little closer to me and I asked, "How long you have been staring at me?" He replied, "Since I came here". I didn't say anything further and looked back at the dark sky with stars and moon...

"Can I tell you something?" He asked and I replied, "Go ahead" He stated "You're a beautiful girl with gorgeous eyes. A hidden world of hurt and lies" He completed and I looked at and he smiled at me I said, "I'm scared of you..." He asked, "Why?" While frowning and I replied, "You're telling me things which I don't even tell to myself..." I said and he just stayed silent while looking at me.

I was looking at the sky while he kept staring at me and he asked, "Why were you crying?" I replied while still looking at the sky "Will you listen?" He said, "Of course" And I started to tell him my story "So... My parents never cared about me and my brother... So we had the habit of living alone without anyone caring for us... But I got into a terrible incident... Even at that time, all they cared about was their company and pride... As my brother was under 18 years he couldn't help me... But he took care of me... That's when I started to become cold towards people..." By even remembering that all the incidents tears started to roll down my cheeks and he wiped it and said, "It's ok... Cry it out..." I continued "They visit us once in a year... That too when they come to Korea with some business meetings..." I completed and all the memories of the past flashed in front of my eyes and I started to shiver due to that and he asked, "Are you ok? Are you cold?" Before I could answer his question I blanked out...

Kim Jihoon

She blanked out and I carried her carefully to her room and laid her on the bed... And set the blanket on her but she was still shivering... And she started whispering something so I went close to her to listen to what she was saying "P-please don't do this-s..." I held her hand and rubbed it gently... She calmed a bit... She didn't tell me what was the real problem... I don't know why I wanna about you... But I wanna help you come out of this... After some time I fell asleep there...

Min Soohyun

I felt something warm on my right hand I looked to see what it was and I saw Jihoon sleeping and I was in my room. I remembered what had happened yesterday... I didn't tell him about the incident... I don't think he would look at me the way he looks at me after hearing the incident... I moved a little and he was awake and he asked, "Are you ok?" I replied while slightly smiling "Yeah I'm fine now..." And he asked, "Why did you suddenly faint?" And I replied to him while looking down "Panic Attack..." He patted my back and said "It's ok... Happens... Fresh up and come to the dining hall let's have breakfast..." I hummed in response and he left but returned and said "Don't worry now you have me..." With that, he left, and it took me some time to understand what he said...

I took a shower and today I just wore a black crop top, black sweat pants, and a white muscle tank for footwear I put on an adidass slides... For hairs, I put on a messy bun and I went to the dining room and saw so many varieties of food... "Woah!!" I said and looked at Jiho and Jihoon they both smiled at me and Jiho said: "As you both are leaving today I ordered some more varieties of food, come on Soohyun join..." I sat on the chair and we all dug in...

"Woah!! That was a good meal..." Jihoon said and I added, "Yup the best meal in Russia..." I said was about to clean the dishes Jiho interprets saying "Soohyun I'll do the dishes..." I said while shaking my head as a No "It's fine..." Jihoon said, "Oh come on Soohyun he said he would do the dishes you go and start packing..." I thought for some time and then it hit me "Guys I need someone to help me pack my stuff as I bought too many things..." And Jiho asked, "Why so many?" I replied while looking down "I was gonna be here for a week..." Jihoon questioned, "Then why are you living early...?" I didn't say anything and Jiho said "Jihoon you help her to pack her stuff... I'll do the dishes..."

Now I and Jihoon were packing my stuff and Jihoon asked "Did something happen when we were at your company?" I stopped what I was doing and looked at him and answered, "Yes, let's not talk about that now..." He nodded in agreement.

It was 4 pm and the flight is at 9 pm we at least want 2 hours to go to the airport without any traffic... So we are leaving now I didn't change my dress as I'm comfortable in this and who cares how I look... I came downstairs with my luggage and Jiho took it to the car and put it in the trunk... "Let's go?" Jihoon asked and I nodded while sitting in the car and I plugged in the ear pods and started listening to music while looking out of the window while thinking if I didn't come here I wouldn't have to face mom but I wouldn't meet Jihoon also, everything happens for a reason and it's true, but in this case, I hope it's for a good reason I don't wanna suffer more I'm used to it but still I don't want to... I felt someone patting my shoulder so I looked it was Jihoon so I removed one ear pod and waited for him to say something but he wiped my cheeks and I touched my cheeks and then it hit me I was crying unknowingly. Jihoon said, "What's wrong?" And I looked at Jiho and he looked worried I said, "It's nothing" and put the ear pod again and looked out of the window... 'I shouldn't let the Beast die in me' I thought to myself.
