Chapter 46 : Try
Your POV:
The next day, I went to school and spotted Yoseob first thing in the morning.
Memories of yesterday came back to me and I just smiled briefly.
Without too much thought, I went up to Yoseob who was alone.
"Good morning." I greet.
He just looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" I ask.
He says nothing and walks away.
"Hey! Wait!" I call and try to catch up with him.
I had to use a little bit of effort to keep up.
"Why are you so quiet? Don't you have something smart to say to me by now?" I try to get him to say something, even if it would annoy me.
His lip just closes down on the other more firmly and he walks even faster.
I frown as I followed him.
Yoseob went into the men's washroom and slammed the door on my face.
I jumped back to avoid getting hit.
Without any choice, I reluctantly left with a heavy heart.
I should have expected him to be like that, I mean, really, why didn't I see it coming?
Because of my failed attempt to get Yoseob to return to however he was before the talent show, let alone speak one word to me, I was depressed for my first lecture, which was pretty much a waste of time because there was nothing to be done until after winter break.
I listened to music as I lied on my arm in class.
What could I do to make Yoseob talk to me?
I came up with nothing, not one single idea.
I didn't think of anything during class change or the next class.
Maybe I should just wing it, I think.
I wasn't really motivated to do anything, though because I was sure I would just fail.
At lunch, I found Yoseob again.
He was alone like he was most of the time.
Upon seeing him, I started to go up to him again, but hesitated.
What if I failed again?
It made me miserable thinking of how much one failure knocked me down.
No matter what, I had to keep trying.
Minwoo didn't give me up just for me to be a chicken who's afraid to try.
If he saw me right now, he probably would be very disappointed in me.
Warily, I looked from side to side and behind me.
Sometimes that kid would show up at odd times.
Seeing no familiar brown hair, I proceed forward.
Once again, I tried to persuade Yoseob into talking but to no avail.
He would ignore me, walk away, whatever.
I didn't really remember much, maybe because there wasn't a lot to remember, but I know that I failed. Multiple times.
It was tiring. Oh, so very tiring.
And very discouraging.
At home, I thought of Minwoo again.
I wished to see his smiling face, I wanted him to comfort me.
But I already promised myself not to lean on anyone anymore, plus I couldn't ask him to help me get his rival to talk to me.
Sure that the whole world was going to blow up, I was in my depressed state again.
It was frustrating with someone as stubborn as he was.
I had tried asking him why he didn't want to talk to me, for him to at least tell me that much.
It was getting late and I stayed up to brain storm, but if I want to have to energy to move a mountain, sleep would definitely help.
I was running out of time, though.
Tomorrow was friday and then I wouldn't be able to see Yoseob for three weeks.
Friday.
My last chance.
I had to use it well.
The only thing I could do was keep trying or else....
I didn't want to think of the life I would have without him.
I couldn't actually.
That was how unbearable it was.
Try, try, try...., I repeated in my head until I drifted into a restless sleep.
Another one of my least favourite chapters.
Ahh, whatever I guess.
