02 Them
Changing you inside and out
The tears kept running down my face, Woohyun just sitting there patting my back I knew he was concerned. ‘Whats wrong?’ Asked Woohyun. I didn’t know if I should respond or not but I had to eventually. ‘You don’t know’ I said. ‘What? I don’t know what?’ Woohyun replied. ‘Them, her, him’ I said without meaning. ‘You’re not thinking straight, want a cup of-‘ ‘NO! YOU DON’T KNOW THEM, YOU DON’T KNOW HIM OR HER.’ I interrupted then bursted into tears. ‘Umma, Appa…’ I mumble.
I can feel Woohyun in shocked state, not knowing what to do. ‘You mean, the people that were written on the board?’ T-they?’ Woohyun said consciously. ‘Yes’ I answer. ‘Oh my baby,’ he pulled me in for a tight hug. I felt different. He hasn’t ever hugged me like this, not in a while. I felt like all those years of being friends have led to this.
‘Alright lets get back to class, just wipe those tears put on your scary face and walk into that classroom’ Woohyun said that in a strong voice, in his eyes I could see a tear. He knew my pain.
I stood up, and Woohyun used him thumb and wiped the tear that was falling.
We went to my locker, my face looked hideous, makeup dripping down, eyes red, hair a mess. I couldn’t fix this in 5 minutes. Unless…
‘WOOHYUN !’ I shouted from the hallway, he came running over ‘What what is it!? Are you okay?’ Woohyun hesitated. ‘I’m okay I need a favour’ i asked. ‘Sure, what is it?’ I handed him your hair brush and some hair ties. ‘Omg, Hwanghee you know I’m not good at these things right?’ Woohyun said worringly. ‘It’s fine try your best’ I said.
I was clenching my mascara in pain as Woohyun brushed through my tangled hair. I get pretty wild when I’m unhappy. Then the pain stopped, he had successfully tied my hair up into a bun, it looked pretty decent aswell. ‘Good job !’ I praised.
I walked into next period classroom ‘English’ My face in the always straight usual look I walked to the back of the room with Woohyun and sat down. Acting like nothing happened.
‘Good Afternoon class, we will be talking about those that died
In the War...
I gasped, and felt weak.
