Jessica POV

“Let me get those,” Donghae says as he bends to pick up my suitcases. He carries them down the steps, and I follow him.

Once we make it to his car, I realize I don’t even know where I’m going.

I haven’t thought this far ahead.

As soon as Yuri told me she needed me to leave today, I just packed my things and walked out without even a plan for what I’m going to do for the next 3 days.

My new apartment isn’t ready, but I’m wishing I could be in it.

I want to be as far away as I can get right now from Yuri and Taeyeon and Donghae and Bora and Jun and Dara and everything and everyone.

“Yul wants me to take you to a hotel until your apartment is ready, but is there anywhere else you’d rather go?” Donghae is now sitting in the driver’s seat, and I’m in the front passenger’s seat.

I don’t even remember us getting into his car. I turn and look at him, and he’s just staring at me. The car hasn’t even been cranked yet.

God, I feel so pathetic. I feel like a burden.

“It’s laughable, isn’t it?” I say.

“What?”

I gesture to myself. “This.” I lean my head against the headrest and close my eyes. “I should just go back home to my parents. I’m obviously not cut out for this.”
