Chapter 60
Fifteen AngelsDays stretched into weeks and Sofia still manged to keep her relapse a secret. No one suspected anything as far as she knew. She still kept a smile on her face even though the negative comments still got to her. The number of scars on her arms grew at an alarming rate and she made sure to keep them hidden. One day, Siwon and Kibum came over whil everyone else was at schedules.
"Sofia, are you here? We've come to visit you!" called Siwon.
"I'll be right there!" yelled Sofia from her bedroom.
A few moments later, she was in the living room chatting comfortably with Sibum. Sofia knew that they were both actors and she prayed that they wouldn't see through her disguise. She couldn't be a burden. However, the exact opposite of that happened.
"There's something different about you." observed Kibum.
"What do you mean? I'm still the same person." said Sofia nervously.
"Kibum's right. Your smile doesn't reach your eyes and your laughter seems forced. Is everything alright?" asked Siwon, concern in his voice.
"Everything is fine. No need to worry." said Sofia, waving away his concern.
Siwon didn't look conviced, but didn't press the issue. It was then that Sofia realized that she wanted to be found out. She wanted to regain the happiness she found here. However, she did not want them finding out about the self harming. Soon it was time for Sibum to head out to their schedules. Siwon headed out first while Kibum stayed behind for a bit.
Please notice something. Something is wrong. I'm not okay.
Sofia tried to convey these thoughts through her eyes when they met with Kibum's. It apparently worked as Kibum looked into them and saw two pools of self loathing, pain, and sadness.
"Everything isn't fine." Kibum said.
Thank you for noticing. Sofia silently thanked him.
"No. Its not. Kibum oppa, I relapsed and I'm terriffied." Sofia admitted.
Kibum pulled her into a tight hug. "Talking helps. Tell the others." Kibum whispered in her ear and pulled away to leave.
Sofia was left alone with her thoughts. Maybe Kibum was right and should tell the others about her relapse.
You'll only burden them. They aren't going to wnat to deal with your personal problems. They won't help you. You're alone.
These thoughts consumed her entire mind. In the end, she decided to keep her relapse to herself and keep up the disguise. She just hoped that Kibum would keep his mouth shut and not let anything slip.
Author's note: Chapter 60 is done! So, who saw Ryeowook's tweet from yesterday? Turns out, some EXO fans were criticizing him on Sukira when him and D.O did a cover of a song, saying that D.O was better and that Ryeowook should stop singing. Now, I'm a fan of both Super Junior and EXO, but this was totally uncalled for and disrespectful. They are both talented and one is not better than the other. I'm sorry for the rant, but I needed to get this off my chest. Next update will be sometime next week. COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE! :)
