Help
HIGH HOPESBeing alone and feeling lonely for the time being permitted by the chances and changes one chooses to do in life. We find happiness and saving from little things possible, even obscured things we cling to to be redeemed from hopelessness. Blinded by the affection one feels towards another is another thing. Wrong seems right. Things perceived wrong becomes right when one is so drowned in the ocean of love. Doubts and lies become a regular thing. Never even tries to complain. Cries helplessly in the corner of a dark room.
Chaeyoung chose to seclude herself from her world, Lisa. She wanted sometime alone for herself to think straight and gradually. She missed her a lot. So much no words could compare. She wanted to run where she is and tell her, even beg her to choose her, to be with her but she couldn't. Her pride told her not to. She wanted to be appreciated and not taken for granted. The things they do seemed like an old memory. A faraway scenario where she could only reach by dreaming, by imagining. It's been weeks and God it hurts. It hurts a lot not talking nor seeing her face.
Her phone rang for the seventh time and didn't even bothered to look at it. She wanted to be alone. She cried alone. No one was there for her or maybe she just let it be. She closed from her questioning friends. Until they were tired from asking, from caring and just let her be but one remained. One being so irritating but consistent. One who did not stop caring.
Chae heard the loud banging on the door. It's as if the person knocking wanted to destroy her door. The thing that separated her from the outside world. Her precious and comfortable lair. Her phone still ringing on the bedside, still not interested on picking it up. Instead, she got up and reached for the room. Irritatingly unlocked all the security locks installed on the door. And finally,
"Oh, finally!", a man's voice. The man seemed relieved when she opened the door. He saw her alive and complete that made him smile at the sight of her. It was a seemingly scene unfolded right in front of him. Chae wearing her pink checkered pajamas and cute slippers and messy bed hair.
"What are doing here?", she irritably stabbed him with darting eyes and those words pierced like he wasn't wanted in there in the first place.
"Oh, I'm hurt. Anyway, I brought you something to eat.",he extended his arm to give her the brown paper bag and flashed a genuine smile.
"I didn't tell you to do this.", she just eyed the paper bag and did not have the will to get it. The man, being impatient by what Chae's acting, pushed her gently out of the way and walked inside uninvited to her much surprise. She was taken aback and her lips left hanging as she was forcefully pushed aside.
When she had regained her right state of mind, she followed him inside and almost screamed, "Get out!"
