Loneliness

Story of Us

I will be writing in their respective povs from now on, so you can grasp even the tiniest details that will make you understand the plot better. Cuz I totally understand that I am a ty writer who just cannot get her thoughts togther.

Lucille's Pov

I was mortified when I raised my head up to meet Kim Freaking Kai, like what is this. I quickly averted my eyes and got ready for Lana's usual humiliation. It didn't come. I looked up in confusion, the sun must've risen from the West today.Of course. Lana just had to be in under the hypnotization of the mighty womanizer. Guess today's my lucky day, I chuckled and slipped away just in time before Lana found out what a fool she's been. While I scrubbed one of the dishes, I looked into the reflection and the guilt started creeping in. I just left Lana out in the open to one of the most brutal predators on the planet, how could I not feel even a twinge of remorse? Once I turned around to face the window and took a quick glimpse outside, all my guilt vanished. Those two were having the time of their lives. Joking and laughing and shamelessly touching each other, unknowingly, a small smile stretched across my face. Oh, how I wish I could be this carefree and radiant, my gaze turned back to the piles and piles of dirty dinner plates and sighed. How much money could I possibly retain to support my brother and I while still managing school? Working in Seoul Yummy Gardens honestly did not pay much, although waiting tables did get me more tips, Lana devoured most of them. And the remainings couldn't even pay for a bar of Snickers. What a dream. My brother loved me to death, I knew that, but he was always on the topic of money. He wasn't enthusastic about me still attending school and believed that for as long as I lived, I should work my off just to get us by. It's okay, I will convince my brother that getting an education is crucial; one day I will be living in a decent apartment, not a run­down trailer park, earning high­-end paychecks that can only be earned with a degree and finally be the little sister who he can be proud of­-- 

"Oppaaa!" A high pitched giggle threw me off my train of thought. I hurriedly looked out and saw Lana covering her face while her apple cheeks were tinted crismson red. Next thing I knew, Lana was running after Kai. The rest of Exo, wait Exo was here? strutted awkwardly out the entrance.

Before I knew it, my shift was over. I stood in front the broken mirror of the employee's bathroom staring at a rigged, wild girl with ketchup and soup stains. Wait, I touched my hat, the girl in the mirror touched her hat, I jumped around and shook my hips, she did the same. How in the world, wait, that girl's me. I took a good look at my reflection, oh how different I look, if I didn't move, I would've thought that girl was someone else. I gagged at the foul stench as someone entered the room. Sigh, welcome to reality.

"Here's your pay for the day!" A huge life-threatening noise broke out as Lana's hand came in contact with the counter. I was famished. It was freaking 12 and I didn't even have dinner. I took the cash and sauntered out the door, feeling the merciless rush of cold wind, beating against my face like needles. I craved a good cup of coffee and a good night's sleep, but what's done had to be done. Fighting back my fatigue, I crawled in the door of my run-down trailer park, which wasn't even a trailer park, more like a shack, and got out my homework. Flipping through the pages of business basics trying incredibly hard to memorize everything WHILE typing out my English paper which was coincentally due tomorrow was not an easy task. It was numbing, exhilarating, even. It got to the point where I didn't even know what I was doing. My brain out right after I thought I was done and I think I fell asleep?

I just wish everything was merely a dream, that my parents never went on that car, that I could still have a great family. That I can meet the little bot I met frim ten years ago, that Pretty Brown Wyes can look past the odds and be my friend...Even if it was just for a day...

I just want someone.

Cause it's exhasusting.
