AUGUST

 

Sumer is over and Hyorin really helped me during the holiday, staying in Jeju-do for three months actually helps me relax and clear my mind.

 

Going back to my dorm, I see that it’s a bit dusty and there’s some cleaning to do. Class will start tomorrow, might as well enjoy this day too by cleaning my room.

 

I put on some old style jean jumps with a white shirt inside, tie my hair back with a purple bow and ready to clean.

It’s really dusty and I can’t stand them, I get sick easily.

I swallow in all of the pain I’m feeling. “You know… I had feelings for Jin right?”

The other line is quiet for a few seconds, “Yeah, you had feelings and you told me you didn’t like him anymore. So, we just get together.”

“Uhh,” I choke on what to say next. “I will see you later.” And hang up.

 

I put my phone down and take a few seconds looking out the window. My eyes feel hot and my vision is blurry. Why can’t I see?
