Chapter 18: MISSING

Kim Hye-Ri's POV:

"You okay?" Baro asks, snapping me out of my trance.

I glance up and look at his worried face and nod.

"Uh..yeah sorry. I'm just....a little tired...I guess." I say rubbing the back of my neck. "Sorry, but I think I'm going to turn in early tonight...See you some other time?" I say, pushing my seat out and washing my plate off.

This was stupid...Coming here, seeing them.

How can I ever be free now?

Why did they have to be so nice?

I sigh wiping dry my plate and putting it away in the cabinet.

"Well goodnight Jiyong." I say waving to Jiyong who's busily munching on her radish kimichi.

She turns her head slightly and nods, smiling.

"B-bye!"

I smile faintly and leave, closing the door quietly behind me.

I head to my room next door, suddenly feeling extremely drained and tired.

Why do I always manage to have the worst of luck?

Of course the guy I had to be spying on had to be working with my father, and of course he was only working with my father to help his family, and of course his family was the sweetest thing, and of course i was getting attached.

Of course.

If only T.O.P were here...

Then i could talk to him, and ask him advice.

Why was I so introverted?

Why didn't I speak/talk to anyone?

Why didn't I at least try or attempt to make friends?

Why was I so lonely?

So very empty and alone?
