Unknown Couple

"Mum how did you manage to get this huge amount of money on such a short note?" I am asking all these questions to a dead doll because she is not replying to any of my word.

"Is it even legal or not?"

"I am not like you!" she instantly retorted at this and further continued "Just remember this house is not ours anymore"

"What!" I shrieked out. "Mum, what do you mean?"

"Mum!" I yelled with great intensity, which made mum look towards me.

"I sold this house for money, I had no other option, we'll still live in this house only, but on rent" she has no facial expression as she is saying this, which makes this whole scenario worst, as I can't guess how she's feeling.

"Mom this house was dad's gift to you, how can you.." I murmured because deep down I know that I am the cause of it.

Mom started leaving for her bedroom, as she must be tired. And I don't have the guts to start a conversation with her yet, so I also directly got inside my room.

I can't sleep because as soon as I close my eyes money, house, mom and Yeji's face appears in my mind. So I decided to take my therapy by stargazing.

I lied down in my balcony but as I looked up, my heart aches, I feel uneasy. And I realised that my breath is not at its regular pace, it's short and fast. Why am I like this?

I again tried to look at the moon and stars but it reminds me of Ji Hoon. Suddenly, I am recalling all the things that happened there, how delighted we were that day at Han River, how I felt at that time, that this will last forever. How naive I was. How Ji Hoon's words comforted me and how I thought I've found a star of my life.

I can't even stargaze now, as I should stay away from everything that reminds me of Ji Hoon. But that's the only problem, that he has effect on each and every part or thing in my life, and death is the only solution to entirely avoid him.

But I can't do that. Or maybe I can but I don't want to. But why do I want to live? Life is so meaningless and cruel then why do I still want to live? Why?

I went inside to drink water as I was really not feeling well in the balcony. And this is how I started giving up on literally each and everything that I admired.

While drinking water, I heard some wheezing sound from my mum's room, so I decided to check up on her.

I slightly opened the door obsequiously, and I saw mom is wailing her heart out. She is definitely feeling miserable.

I am not good with words and I'm really bad at comforting people so I closed the door back and sat down there, my back rested on the door and next thing I remember is that, next morning I was still there but I had blanket wrapped around me. "Mom.." I whispered.

I came to know that how foolish it was of me that I tried to solve my problems by my own or tried to ask for help from others but not from mom, while mom is the only one who helped me and suffered along with me all the time.

I looked for mom, called out her name but seems like she has already left for work.

...

I didn't go to school for a whole week as I lacked in fortitude to face them.

I didn't do much throughout the week, I lived with a dead doll who never wore any kind of expression and never asked me why I am not going to school, even though she wanted to ask.

All I did includes, flipping through the channels on TV but don't quite understand what I was watching as I was not in my right mind to watch it carefully and I had irregular breathing and out of blue, all of a sudden I sobbed many times and I only realised that I am crying when tears started falling on the ground. My mind went back and forth to the past and future and all I did was sit there in front of the TV trying to catch up with my soul.

My past is dark but future seems darker this thought made me lethargic and I lived like a dead doll just like my mom. I didn't talk with anyone and now I don't even remember when was the last time that a word came out from my mouth or even if it did, I don't remember what I said.

But fortunately, I didn't miss any day of my work at In Na, she did tell me how much she's missed me and all but I don't remember what was my response.I had forgotten about Ji Hoon, club and everyone until she asked me about Ji Hoon's whereabouts, I can't recall my answer but I must've lied.

I didn't even wash up for several days and the cycle of all these things keep going on. And I felt tired without even doing anything.

Now finally after a week's rest, I'm willing to do something and made my mind to go back to school.

In school's corridor, I heard some girls gossiping about my strip club news "O really! She did that?" I chimed in and left without giving them a look.

I do trust Ji Hoon so it must be Yeji who revealed about my strip club dance. But what makes me surprised is that even after a week this news is still spreading like a fire.

As usual I sat on my seat beside Ji Hoon, this is the only thing that hasn't changed ever since the beginning or ending of anything.

No one dares to talk in front of me or even bully me as after that Yeji's torture case they are afraid of me. But they always gossip about me, spread rumours and utter some harsh words which directly spears at my heart.

Ji Hoon took a seat beside me and released a sigh of relief at my arrival, he must have worried a lot during my absence.

"I am sorry" I said in my head.

He avoided me as I asked him to do but I can tell how much it hurts for him to show apathy towards me.

All the girls and boys jaws gaped at this scene, they are astounded to see Ji Hoon ignoring me and probably jubilant too.

Later, I came to know that, I wasn't the only one who was a hot topic for them to discuss but there's something else going on in school.

Everyone is working, probing their best to find out who is the pair in Hexagon. People always want something spicy for their fun, and after being hidden for such a long time students are finally desperate to know who is that couple.

There are two boys in the group Lee Minho and Jeon Jungsuk and everyone is shipping them with literally every member whether Sana, Jihyo, Yuna but not with Yeji because everyone knows she has crush on Ji Hoon.

Students watch Hexagon's each and every move just to find out who is that special couple.
