Shock
A Wall In betweenA/N : Hi guys. Long time no update huh? Did you miss me? I am planning to re edit my story soon as I got a bad score for my review -_- I will work harder *fighting*. Also I do apologize for not updating in a long while as I had family problems so yeah... anyways here I am with my update :) Oh yeah I started a new angst/horror fanfic called 'The darkness inside'. If you are brave enough, check it out. Again its a Myungsoo fanfic :)
A few days past after that. I was waiting for Myungsoo to finish his part of the class duty. We both got our bags and headed out. I felt a vibration in my blazer pocket. I put my hand in my pocket and took out my phone. Mum was calling. I picked up.
"Mum?" I answered. It was strange for her to call at this time of the day.
"Oh, yes dear. I have some news for you." She said. Her voice had some sorrow to it. Before I could ask her what the news was, she told me.
"Your Granny passed away." Her words made my eyes widen. "I'm at the airport heading to korea right now. Dad is already there. I told your aunt to come and pick you up so go and get your clothes ready. She will pick you up in a few hours." She said. I was still in shock. "Don't let this get to you dear!" Mum said. I quickly changed the subject.
"Mum you know I don-", I started off, but mum interrupted me. "Yes I know you and your aunt don't get along. But you just have to cope with that for a while. Promise me you'll stay out of trouble!" She said. I didn't know what else do say.
"Don't worry mum, I will." I said. "Sorry I have to switch my phone off. Talk to you soon." She said and put the phone off. Myungsoo was expecting me to say something. I looked at him.
"My grandmother passed away." I said with a slight smile, telling him I was going to be fine. But in reality, it felt like thousand daggers stabbed me in the heart. I felt so empty, so lonely. But I felt even lonelier thinking that I couldn't tell anyone. I didn't want to either. I didn't want people to worry about me. I didn't want people to think of me as that little girl I used to be. I wanted to cry so bad. I wanted to burst out on tears, but the thought of not wanting anyone to worry kept everything inside.
"Shorty..." He dragged his words. He looked into my eyes. He could probably read my mind. I avoided eye contact. I didn't want to seem like a cry baby. "Don't worry! I'm a strong girl." I smiled at him. He just smiled back, but for some reason it just seemed like he smiled because I did. He didn't mean to smile. His smile was a lie, it was fake.
"Lets go!" He said. I nodded and we both headed home. On the way home I told him about how I am going to stay at my aunts house. But I didn't tell him the fact that we don't get along well. You could say that she is like the evil stepmother in Cinderella. She even has two children, although the first one is a boy and second is a girl, their attitudes matched exactly to that of the fairy tale characters. As we walked I heard my phone vibrate again. I took it out and noticed that I got a message. I opened it.
'Get here yourself! I won't pick you up!' It said. It was my aunt. According to mother she took the day off today. I guess she didn't change at all. "What is it?" Myungsoo asked. "My aunt said that something came up, so she won't be able to pick me up." I lied myself out. I forced a smile out to make it seem believeable. Myungsoo didn't ask, hence I was a little relieved. We reached home and Myungsoo's mother was waiting at the door for us. She came to me and gave me a big hug.
"I'm really sorry for your loss dear. I heared your aunt will pick you up today! You are welcome to come and visit us whenever you feel lonely." She said. His mother didn't seem like a neighbour to me at all. At this stage, she was more like a mother to me.
"Thank you, Eomeoni. Thank you for your kindness." I said before bowing.
"Dear why are you being so formal? By the way when will your aunt come to pick you up?" She asked. "She can't come due to work." Myungsoo answered for me.
"Does she live far?" She asked. "Well she does a bit. Around half an hour and I will have to take the bus." I answered.
"Why don't you take Myungsoo with you? He will help you with the moving." She suggested.
"Oh no, don't worr-" I started off but I was cut off by Myungsoo. "I was going to suggest that too." He agreed with his mother.
"There we go. Don't worry dear. You can ask Myungsoo to do anything for you. I would give him permission to help you with anything." She said and smiled. "How about we go and eat and I can help with the packing." She asked. I agreed and went over to Myungsoos house. I spent some time there, helping his mother with the dishes, helping Monsoon with his homework as Myungsoo wasn't bothered and then I played some video games with Myungsoo. At this moment, I wished for a brother. If I had a brother like Monsoon, I'd make my friends jealous. He'd be really cute and I'd help him with all his work. I would also play video games with him when I'm bored. He would also be protective of his older sister, me. Then when I try and imagine Myungsoo as my brother, it gives me a completely different feeling. We would fight a lot. The whole house would turn upside down. I would bother him to help me with my homework, while he would kick me out of his room whenever I try bothering him. I would bother him to buy me things while he would try and prank me a lot at home. I would snitch on him whenever he tries to do something to me, and watch him get scolled and laugh. But whenever I'd walk besides him, or wherever I'd be with him, I'd feel really safe and protected. I looked at the pair of brothers and laughed. They are so different.
After this, I went home with his mother and we packed my clothes and books. Myungsoo got ready too. After a while, we finished and it was time for me to leave. I took my leave, along with Myungsoo after telling everyone goodbye. We walked to the bus stop. He tried to take my luggage off me. I looked at him. "Don't worry, I can carry it!" I smiled. "Just let go of it already!" He demanded. His moodswings are just too funny. I laughed at him. "Okay, you won this time!" I smiled and handed him the luggage. He accepted it and we reached the bus stop.
"I can make the rest myself." I said. "Shut up. My mother will kill me if I told her that I dropped you to the stop." He said. It made me smile. This was the over protective older brother I thought of earlier. We got onto the bus and Myungsoo was set to come all the way to my aunts house with me. I didn't bother changing his mind as it wouldn't work. After a while, we finally arrived and walked towards my aunts house. The walk took us around ten minutes. We arrived and stood in front of the house.
"Thanks for coming." I smiled. "Mother told me to come. Thank her!" He said making me laugh.
"It will feel lonely without you." I gave off a weak smile. He gave me a weak smile too, but then said "It will be lonely without you shouting around!" He said making me laugh once again. He sure knows how to brighten up my mood.
"Well take care then", I said and headed to the gate. "Yah Shorty!" He called. I turned around to see him with the biggest smile he ever gave me. His expression became softer. Something I've never seen from him.
"If you ever need a shoulder, you know where to find me." He said. He was standing there. There was nothing different from his pose. He had his hands in his pockets and stood there normally. He kept giving me that smile. It made my heart skip a beat. I felt a different aura from him. An aura that made my heart beat rise in just a second. Something my heart has never done before. My stomach felt really light and fluffy, as if someone was tickeling me. I felt really warm and fluffy. I snapped out of it and saw Myungsoo still standing there, waiting for me to go in.
"Thank you. Myungsoo Oppa." I smiled and bowed. He seemed slightly shocked form what I just said. It must have been really unexpected. I chuckled and waved. He seemed to have snapped out of it. We said our good byes and and went to the door and rang the door bell. My youngest cousin came and opened the door. She was eight and had black, shoulder length hair, with a front fringe. Myungsoo left as soon as I closed the door. I was then greeted by my aunt, who gave me piercing glares.
"It took you some time to come. What do you want the neighbourhood to think of us? Letting a teenager roam around at this time." She started complaining. "Besides, why where you dropped out by a boy? And who is he? Are you set on giving us a bad public image?" She asked.
"He is just my neighbour. Since you didn't come to pick me up, my next door eomeoni kindly asked him to drop me", I said emphasising the word 'kindly'. My other cousin came. He was three years older than the youngest one and just like the who family, he had black hair. "It's probably her boyfriend. Who knows how many guys she has dated already." He said. Although anger built up in my head, I decided to act cool and not show it at all.
"Like I said, he is just a good neighbour and classmate." I said cooly.
"Oh yeah, you are the class president right? Don't think too highly of yourself! You will always be zero compared to your other cousins. A mere class president is nothing." She smirked. Here we go again...
"Yes I am the class president. It's not a high rank, and I don't think of it as a rank at all. At the end of the day, I'm still a student nothing else. The only responsibily I have is helping my class. I know my older cousins have achieved higher than me. I mean Dentistry, Biomedicine, Medicine; that's nothing to joke about. Also I heared he made it into a private school", I said hinting to my cousin brother, "However, I didn't bother taking the exam. If a child is truly intelligent, they would be able to study anywhere!" Her smirk disappeared after my words. She pointed at my room and I walked upstairs and opened the door. It was in a mess. My aunt came upstairs.
"I forgot to mention. I didn't clean this room for a few months as no one stays here. I forgot to clean it today, but now that you are here, you can do it yourself." She said giving me a broom. I didn't hesitate to take it off her. I knew this was going to happen. She walked out expecting me to clean. I put my bags down and started to sweep the floor. She came back. I peeked out the door.
"By the way. I don't care if you are the class president or anything. I got you a job at a cafe as a maid. You will work there and earn money as the gratitude for staying here. It also lets you do something useful in life rather than being the class president. It starts tomorrow after school. Go to the cafe near the center of the town!" She said and left. I let out a big sigh. For that day, I didn't eat at all. No one cared. I was on my bed. The room was finally clean. I turned to the wall. I'm at my aunts house, so I can't talk to him. Not knowing what else to do, I fell asleep. I should have rather lived by myself. In the morning, I had to wake up and cook while everyone else was asleep. I cooked and changed ready to go school. I looked to my left. Then I realized that I was at my aunts house, so I had to go to school by myself.
Sorry guys but there was a bit more to this which accidently got deleted when I tried to Cut and paste. I remember I tried to cut it but when i pasted it, nothing came up. So that will be tomorrows update :)
