Chapter 11: Cooperation
Please Forget the Past
Woohyun’s POV:
Bekah: Oh Woohyun! You’re here to pick me up?
She hugged me but I pushed her away. Only
Woohyun: Why the hell did you try to get rid of
Bekah: I thought you hated her. Do you like her now?
Woohyun: Just leave me alone. It’s been 6 years. Things change.
Bekah: You won’t admit it.
Woohyun: Admit what?
Bekah: That you’re in love with
Woohyun: I’m not admitting it because I don’t. I just feel bad.
Bekah: Because she’s a loner.
Woohyun: Because everyone hates her when it wasn’t her fault.
Bekah: Don’t you remember your locker idea?
Woohyun: STOP MESSING WITH ME. JUST PRETEND WHEN DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER FROM NOW ON!
I walked off. I don’t want to talk to her anymore.
Bekah: You will regret this Woohyun. I will make you like me. You’ll come running back to me!
I went to
Woohyun: I want you to forgive me.
Woohyun: No. I wanna talk.
Woohyun: You. I want to get to know you better.
Woohyun: C’mon…
I pushed myself into her house and closed the door. I sat on the couch, waiting for her to come. Then I suddenly realized there was no one home. Just her.
Woohyun: Do you live alone? Where are your parents?
She pointed up at the ceiling and whispered her words. Her parents are dead?
Woohyun: You don’t have siblings?
Woohyun: WHAT?!?!? WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?
I realized that I had scooted closer to her. I was being too demanding for answers.
Woohyun: WHAT?!?!? BY WHO? WHEN? WHERE?
Woohyun: Then who did you live with?
I sounded so concerned, it probably bothered her. But I couldn’t help but feel bad about her family.
Woohyun: Do you hang out with your co-workers?
Woohyun looked so….sad. He was so involved with my life that I don’t think he knows he’s cutting into my personal space. Maybe I REALLY should continue to tell him my life story. It’s good to let things out once in a while.
Woohyun: I think I should tell you this…Bekah actually plagiarized YOU.
Then I remembered the dirt in my office. Someone snuck into my room and stole my designs.
Woohyun: Bekah told me.
Woohyun: No. I’m not. I don’t want to anymore. She’s not the one I want to be with.
Woohyun: No. I want to be with you.
There was a long pause, more like an awkward silence. There he goes again. Messing with my head. Why don’t you just give up, Woohyun? It’s not gonna work!
Woohyun: No really. I do! I really do!
I pushed him out the door and locked it. When he was locked out, he was still banging on the door.
Woohyun: I’ll prove it to you! I’ll stay here all day if I have to!
I went to my room and took a nap. When I woke up, it was already 7:45 PM. I took a small snack, and watched TV, totally unaware of Woohyun.
At 9:30PM, I heard some dogs outside, so I went out to check. I didn’t’ see any dogs, but I saw Woohyun. He was so tired out that he fell asleep on my sundeck. Was he really out here for that long? It’s 9:30 already. The least I could do was let him sleep at my house for the night.
I dragged him carefully into my house and let him sleep him my bed. I slept on the couch in the living room. It somehow felt good to cooperate with Woohyun, but it didn’t feel right either.
