Souls of the Damned

~Yumi~

-----------------------------

Next morning I sitting to school, not paying attention to any classes, there was no reason behind my lack of interest in the lessons but just that I didn't really think about anything except about the accident. The accident had been bothering me the entire weekend no matter how much I tried to forget it, there was just something that wasn't letting me get over it..

There was no chance for me to get any kind of information from the guys cause they would just come up with any excuse about me needing to rest or me having a black out and that I couldn't remember anything.. and that I wasn't feeling well. However, I did feel that they were hiding something but I wonder if it was a important thing that they couldn't even bother to tell me or if ... they really were telling the truth..

"Yumi?"

"Yumi?"

I looked up from my daydream to see Changmin standing right beside me. Seems like the class were already dismissed and it was already lunchtime.

"You're okay?" Changmin asked and bended down onto my height

I looked at him and I hoped that my smile was convincing him enough to leave

"Yes I'm fine"

"Actually.. you've been completely daydreaming all day and haven't paid any attention to any of the classes. Is something bothering you?" He asked

He followed me, as I stood up and started to gather the things on the table of mine.

"I'm perfectly fine. I guess I'm not just in the mood today for studying" I mumbled

"You're sure? You can talk to me" Changmin said

I stopped in front of him and looked at him quietly, trying to read him but even so, I was unable to. His eyes were concerned as far as I can tell and he seemed to be a bit stiff, probably from the suspension, wondering what was wrong with me. But he seemed to be sincere

"Can I?" I asked

"Yes you can. You can trust me Yumi" Changmin said and looked deep into my eyes, trying to tell me that he was no backstabber, as well as not a liar

"Then tell... me... about the accident" I said and folded my arms over my chest

I saw Changmin react, not in an uncomfortable way but he did change his position in standing and he looked at me for a long time.

"I've already told you.."

"But not the truth" I cut him off

Changmin quieten

"I'm not certain what it is that makes me behave like this, why I'm thinking like this and certainly not WHY I can't let it go cause after all, I'm still standing here on my two own feet and breathing which I have you guys to thank for but yet.. I just still can't let it go.. and you keep telling me to rest and that I should be thankful for being alive and also that I'm probably hallucinating or something since I out but the thing is that, I'm done with resting, I am thankful and I'm pretty sure that I am not hallucinating" I said

Changmin stayed quiet

"If you don't want to tell me then fine, but I value honesty more than lies" I said

I then rounded him and left him in the classroom as I walked down the hallway, down to the cafeteria.

I was upset because this was pretty much a confirmation of him and the other guys lying to me and I do have the right to be angry right? But then.. there must be a reason for them to lie as well cause nothing happens without a reason..There's always a reason to everything, no matter how big or small it is..

I arrived at the cafeteria and just passed the food court and sat down by the table tiredly as I tried to think of something else. There was no need for me to be upset right now cause that was just unnecessary..

"Someone seems angry"

Minji sat down with her tray as she looked at me. All I did was sighing in reply

"I'm not angry"

"Upset"

"Not upset either"

"Well it's something.."

I rolled my eyes

"I'm skipping class today.. I have a huge headache and I just need to go home and rest" I mumbled and stood up again

I was about to turn around and head for the exit when I suddenly bumped lightly into someone and that someone was no other than JaeJoong himself

I backed away from him to see him looking at me worriedly. Not with the same concern that displayed in Changmin's eyes though, this was a little more different

"You... are not feeling okay"

It didn't sound like a question but more like a statement

I sighed

"Did Changmin tell you?" I asked tiredly

"Tell me what?" He asked confused

"Nothing.. I have to go"

"Wait.. let me take you" JaeJoong said and grabbed my arm

I looked at him for a long time before I gave in and he walked with me out of the cafeteria, down the hallway and then out to the schoolyard, heading towards the parking lot

He opened the door for me and helped me to get in and then closed it and rounded the car and got inside right next to me. Quietly he started the engine and lowered the volume of the music before finally driving away from school

"Did Changmin say anything to upset you?" He asked

I shook my head

"No.. I guess it's just me being a little emotional.." I mumbled

"About the accident and all?" He asked

"Yeah" I mumbled

"It's going to be fine.. I'm sure.. you don't have any internal injuries.. It's probably common to feel like this after being a part of a such overwhelming thing like the caraccident"

"I know.." I said

"Just take it easy, I'm sure it'll be alright.." He said softly

I turned to the left to look at JaeJoong's profile. He was concentrated on the road and even though he was only driving with just one arm, He didn't seem to be a bit stressed while turning his head towards me once in awhile, to check up on me

"What if I didn't survive that? You think that man would have blamed himself for it?" I asked

JaeJoong suddenly seemed to stiffen and his mood seemed to suddenly change into anger

"That man.. should have" He said rather coldly

I did notice and started to wonder why he suddenly became like this as I asked that

"But he didn't seem to care, as if he watched me finishing the entire rolling around in the car thing and.. I don't know.." I said

I threw a glance at JaeJoong only to discover hos hard he was holding onto the steering wheel and how his other free hand was folded into a fist

Nothing more was being said and when he parked outside the house, he seemed to have taken control over himself. He turned off the engine and let out a quick sigh before turning himself at me

"If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to call me okay?" He said softly

A warm breeze was felt inside of me, as if the sun was strongly shining on the chest area of mine and even my heart could feel it as it started to beat faster

"I don't.. have..."

"Here give me your phone" He said

I took it out and he quickly typed in his number, and even managed to sent a text from my phone to his own so that he would have my number as well and when he handed the phone back to me, he smiled with his eyes, his lips smirking slightly, in a playful way and I just felt like there was no more oxygen in the car

"I'll be here before you know it" He smiled

The silence then took over and I realized it was my turn to do something, in this situation, get out of the car

I was still standing on the pavement as I saw him driving away, disappearing around the corner and then I took a deep breath, the oxygen feeling the entire body of mine. I took out my phone to see his name on the display along with his number and my heart just had to skip a bit just by me looking at it

A ticklish started to grow inside of me, as I walked towards the house, looking at the phone at the same time as I was smiling widely...
