More than a Pretty faceWe were in leave today and we're here loafing in our dorm, not given the privilege to atleast go out for coffee, a walk, or even bask in the sun. I didn't mind really, I'm in a peaceful state in all honesty, and that is because I was able to talk to a certain someone whose been one of the reasons of me having sleepless nights, fussing over what her name was and what kind of girl she was. And I stand corrected, she was actually far more than that. She may have a mature and calm demeanor but in truth she's actually quirky, funny, and just so full of life. A beep from my phone plucked me out of my thoughts and I swiped the unlock button eagerly as I saw the contact name.
Haeun: I saw your live broadcast with weekly idol, it's so pitiful that you can't even go out. Why is that?
Me: Well, we don't know really. I think it's because we're still not in the same level and fame as our SISTAR-noona's. Freedom is probably earned in our agency, or maybe that's just how our manager discipline us.
In 3 minutes or so a beep came again. I noticed one thing in our conversations we always have a 3-minute gap, when you don't reply by that alotted time the other person turn frantic, which again was not in my nature to turn frantic by a simple text message.
Haeun: Aigoo~ You must really miss your parents.
Me: Yeah, I really do. Your lucky you're with your parents.
I stared at the ceiling for a while counting in my head the seconds that passed but three minutes has gone and she didn't reply. Trying to think logically, I tried to assure to myself ,that maybe she just went to the bathroom or grabbed something to eat. Waiting for another five minutes I occupied myself with a book but it was a bad idea since it was the book with Haeun's name scribbled all over the pages ,thus making worry sprout inside me. Was it probably something I said?
Me:Haeun?
Counting down in my head again, a second before 3 minutes, a text finally came.
Haeun: Yeah? I'm sorry, I just remembered something.
Me: Not to pry. But, what is it that troubles you?
Haeun: My parents are dead, my mom passed away last year because of skin cancer and my dad died when I was 8.
Bringing a hand to slap my forehead in shame. Chae Hyungwon, you are a ginormous idiot.
Me: Mianhae. I should've known it was personal matters.
My mom always told me that I should be careful with what I say to girls because girls are immensely fragile creatures, that's why they tend to cry on little things sometimes. And unknowingly I did that to a girl who actually saved my life, I should be showing gratitude not rudeness.
Haeun: Kencha
