CHAPTER 22
I leaned on the window sill as I looked out of the car, enjoying the rush of the wind on my face
"Johda!" this is good! I yelled out of the car
I turned towards the radio looking for a song that fit the moment. Luckily, I stumbled into 'Unstoppable' by Sia. I smiled and went back to my previous position, singing along
All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it till the sun goes down and all through the night time
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the eight time
Yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I beat my hand on the window sill at that part, then snapped my fingers one beat before the chorus and continued at the top of my voice
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
I'm unstoppable today
"I am not getting flanked for someone making noise in my car" Ji Sung announced
He had to raise his voice a bit due to the high volume
"One, I'm not making noise, I'm singing. And two,..."
I looked out of the car, around us
"We can't get flanked since there's no one here anyway"
... I put my armor on, show you how strong how I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am...
"Are you that hyper?" he asked
I nodded, still singing along
After the songs ended, I reduced the volume and sat back, leaning against my seat
I signed, happily. I looked towards Ji Sung, and laughed
He looked at me as if I had grown a second head, but he had an amused smile on his lips
"You do amaze me sometimes, you know"
It was more of a statement
"I always amazed everyone around me. It's a natural thing" I said confident in myself
"Cocky much?" he asked
"I'm not cocky, I'm just confident in myself. And, I don't know if it's because of the speed of the car, but I feel so unstoppable right now" I corrected
"Geureom, should I make you feel even more unstoppable?" he asked
I looked at him, silently questioning him
"Hold tight" he said holding the steering wheel tighter
Understanding what he meant, I braced self with a smile
He pressed down the accelerator and we spend down the street
It was a good thing he knew a place a road where you, less than hardly, see people. Or else, we would have been flanked down by now
I screamed happily out the car
^^^^^
I unbuckled myself as we drove into my drive way
He killed the engine, but I made no move to open the door. We looked at each other, smiling, before he opened the door and I followed suit
"I'm sure my love for Yea Ji has just multiplied" I announced
He smiled
"Thanks, Ji Sung. For today" I said wholeheartedly
"Thanks for coming out, and for listening to me" he said
"Well... I didn't really have a choice in either of then, so..."
I looked at him as I trailed off, his smile widening
"Ah, is that so?" he asked, a smile also on his face
"Yup" I said
We tried to hold our smiles, but we ended up bursting out
"See you on Monday" he said, walking back
"See you on Monday" I sent back
I turned around but stopped when he called my name
I turned but to him
"I hope you have a good night, and a peaceful dream" he said
I smiled at him
"I think I will" I said
He smiled and went to his car
This time I waited until I couldn't see any trace of him before going inside
My mom was at the counter, sipping what I'm sure is tea. She she heard the door opening, her head snapped over to my direction, and a smile made its way onto her face
She opened her mouth, but I cut her off
"Don't overrate anything, mom" I told her
"And who said I was going to?" she asked
I gave her a pointed look at I walked towards her, well towards the kitchen to get a cup of water
"So how was it?" she asked
"What?" I asked back
"Let's not throw questions back and forth, Soo Joon-ah. You know what I'm asking for" she said
I signed as I placed the cup down into the sink
"It went well. Very" I said with a smile
She smiled, and I quickly corrected
"Not in the way you're thinking" I pointed out
"Oh, really? So which way was it?" she asked
"A way you don't need to know"
"I'm going to bed. Night" I said, quickly making my way up the stairs s to my room
There was no point of her asking questions, because I won't answer. Answering her would be like telling her what has been happening to me, and that will give me unnecessary attention and looks from her, which I wish I never will have, from her
I took a shower and changed to my night wear. Maybe it was because of our time together, I don't have a particular name to give it, I was out the moment my head touched my pillow
^^^^^
I groaned as my alarm blasted the room. My frown didn't last long, as a smile came over my face
It wasn't only that night,but two nights now. Two nights without any memory flashbacks in the form of dreams. I looked at my bedside clock and smiled when I saw the time I woke up
The perfect time, neither too early nor too late
I wore a seaweed green, or something similar, sweater with a pair of high waisted button trousers. I decided to complete my dressing with a black high top converse. I checked myself out in the mirror, then went down, satisfied with myself
"Hi, mom. Morning" I greeted cheerfully
"Good morning, dear. You seem happy this morning"
"I am. I had a wonderful night" I said
She chuckled
"You're talking as if it's new. Don't you always have a good night?" she asked
Oops
I laughed
"Slip of tongue?" I asked
Luckily, she wasn't facing me, so I had thing to fix my demeanor
She suddenly turned towards me, making me hold my breathe
"I forgot something important that I'm taking to work. Be right back"
"Okay, but I might have gone"
I went to the living room to get my bag, and was about to leave, but my mom's phone started ringing
"Mom, your phone is ringing" I said, but she didn't reply
I signed, and went to her phone
My blood went cold as I looked at the caller's ID, my bad fell from my hand
I slowly walked towards her phone, and picked it up gently as if the phone was going to explain any moment from now
"Sorry, I couldn't remember where I kept it. I think I'm getting old, I keep for..." my mom trailed off when she saw the look I had on my face
She looked at her phone in my hands
"What wrong?" she asked
"Choi Hyun Tae" I said, shivering as the name came out my lips
