"Hey Layla, in first period I didn't see Jeongmin. Where is he?" Elaine asked out of the blue.
I snapped out of my thoughts,

"Jerkmin? Oh, I don't know. There's no telling where he went......and quite frankly, I don't care."

Okay, I sort of do.

"Are you sure?" Elaine raised a brow, with this smirk on her face.

"Of course I'm sure! I don't care about him at all! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go now....because.....I need to go um, yeah." I got up, bowed, then excused myself from the group.

I don't know why I keep denying myself that I don't worry about him. I mean, friends worry about friends right? 
But then again I don't consider him as a friend.

He's just...

just a....

some dude I live with.

Wow, what a nice way to put it Layla. I quickly walked to my locker to get my textbooks.

Then suddenly someone closed my locker for me.

=======================================================================================================================

"Jeez, what's her deal." Youngmin said.
"Ah, she knows she likes him. She's probably going to find him now." Elaine answered.

"Oh please she's probably going to get a donut, then going to go find Jerkmin." Jenny corrected.
Kwangmin and Juniel giggled in agreement.

Anita and Minwoo were taking pictures together to not even bother to care about what's going on.

"You know what, I think we all need to hang out again after school! Layla has to spend time with us too!" Kwangmin stood up in rejoice.
Juniel nodded her head in agreement.

"Kwangmin-ah, I forgot to ask you, do you still remember the time we played that hide and go seek game?" Juniel gave him this sweet smile.
Kwangmin started cracking up.

"Oh yeah I remember! I also remember how I fell and then you fell too!" 

They both started cracking up.

Elaine and Youngmin turned to Jenny.

Jenny's mood quickly turned to a frown.

The furious girlfriend stood up and started walking away.

Elaine called out to her.
"Where are you going?"

"To get me some damn fries!" She replies without even turning back.

Youngmin just shakes his head.
"What a nice bunch of friends we have" The blonde commented.

=====================================================================================================================

He sits on the piano seat, then his fingers gently hovered over the keys and began to express through sound.

I've been alone with you
Inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Pass outside my door

He thinks of her almost everyday. He yearns for her, constantly wanting to see her again.
The image of his beloved displays in his mind like a picture as he plays.

Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

The words he sings as he plays, linger as they roll of his tongue. Because they describe exactly what he feels.

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!
I've just got to let you know
'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you

It's near the end of the song, and the flashbacks of him and her come back at him like bullets.
They hurt him in the worst way possible. 


Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
'cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you

And so the song "Hello" By Lionel Richie ends...
.............................

As he finishes the song.. He mumbles and cries to himself.

"Hyorin.....why did you have to go?"
