Trapped
Jaejoong's POV
"I killed my brother"
Her last words that day... kept echoing in my mind.
Even her enchanting sweet voice makes me tremble
Is it really true? That she killed her brother?
How can that be possible?
For days.. I never stopped thinking about what she said. I kept analyzing if she can really kill a peron more importantly, her brother.
But I had a big doubt. There's no way a girl as fragile as her, can do something brutal like that.
And if it was true, then how come she isn't in prison and sentenced for the crime she did.
And over the past days, I had always lied to Yoona and went to Dara instead after classes
We always meet at the rooftop.
.. more like I always follow her and force myself to her.
Though students were not allowed to enter, but surprisingly, she had access.
I never got scared of her despite when she claimed that she killed her brother. She seemed safe.
There's like an invisible magnet that keeps pulling me to her.
But whenever we're together, we don't talk. I never had the guts to ask her about the issue with her brother
I was afraid that she might turn herself away from me if I insist to uncover the truth. And she too never initiated a conversation. She'd just let me sit by her then continue what she does.
Looking at the skies, her hand trying to reach for it. Evertime she would do that.
I was also wondering why, but I never asked.
I was contented just seeing her
When darkness falls and she stands up, that will be my cue that my time with her is already over
It became a habit
And today wasn't an exemption.
I told Yoona I'll be meeting a friend from Seoul so she can go ahead of me.
But of course, I just went to the rooftop to see Dara.
It looked like she was expecting me. There was a blanket prepared where she was lying on. There was a space left, intended for me I suppose.
I took the space left and lay beside her. She looked at me for moment, then turn her gaze back to the sky
The clouds were blocking the sun so the brightness and the heat were bearable
"Can I ask why am I the only one you ever let to go near you?" I blurted out
She turned to me and stared at my eyes
Her gaze was so powerful that I felt all the energy in me was being drained
I gulped, my throat felt dry
"We're both trapped"
"And you need my help as much as I need yours"
Her voice was really stunningly soft
But what the heck was she talking about??
I need her help?? In what way and why?
I couldn't even think of a problem that matters
"Huh?" doubting if I heard her right
She stood up and went near the railings, and like a slave I followed her half-heartedly
"You already know it inside you, but you're just too coward to admit it"
"Seriously Dara you're confusing me. I don't understand any words you blabber"
She just smiled then looked away
The sun was about to set. She patted my arm before leaving
I couldn't walk for a moment still trying to figure out what she really meant
And when I couldn't find any answer, I went back and decided to go home
The next morning for me was hell.
Tests from different subjects were piled up that day. My mind was already dozing off
I didn't get to review my notes last night as my mind was still occupied with every thought about Dara
And when classes were finished, my anger boiled up to it's fullest
I saw Choi Siwon, hunk football player in our school flirting with my dearest sister

"Yoona are you coming or not?" Siwon asked
"I'm still waiting for my brother. I have to ask for permission"
Siwon chuckled
