Chapter 33 - Getting over Him.

JinHee's POV

Why does it hurt so much?

I thought as tears fell. I ran through the corridors in an attempt to escape from the painful truth.

I was running down the staircase with a teary eye when I bumped into a person or people to be precised.

"Sorry" I mumbled as I ran past them.

"JinHee?what's wrong?" I heard Luhan call as they ran after me.

I fastened my pace, and diverted into the closest female restroom I could find. I closed the door and got into a cubicle. When I was certain, they weren't going to come after me, I slumped on the floor and cried.

Why does it hurt so much?

I cried all my frustrations out.

Is this what a heartbreak feels like.

I haven't even gotten to the point of confirming my feelings and I'm already hurt.

This is fault JinHee. I warned you not to get too attached to them. But you didn't listen. Now you're suffering the consequences - my sane mind said.

"But they were nice" I retorted.

It doesn't matter, they still made you cry.

It wasn't they, it was him.

I knew it, he was going to make you cry. He hurt you--

He didn't. He just said his mind and I was just hurt by it.

Why the hell are you still defending him?!

I- i- it was nor his fault. He just said the truth but coward me got hurt by it.

"Okay, if you say so. what will you do now?"

I don't know, I--

More tears poured out.

Just allow me cry my heart break out for now, I'll figure what to do after then.

"Okay. Sure. Go on"

I nodded and cried.

I know i sounded crazy talking to my self but I didn't care. Everything that I heard on the rooftop, I tried to cry it out of my brain.

After about how many hours of crying, I stopped.

You're so stupid JinHee.

Why are you even crying for someone that doesn't deserve your tears?.

When I was 11, I had promised my self that I won't cry because of anybody, but now seems like I've broken the promise- and For a pathetic reason at that.

I got up and wiped my tears.

I picked up Luhan's Jacket that was on the floor and opened the cubicle and got out.

I looked at the mirror, and saw a girl with messy buns and red swollen eyes, that was staring at her self in misery.

I shook my head at my reflection and splashed water on my face.

"get over him JinHee, he isn't worth you tears" my sane mind advised.

I looked up and nodded.

It still a simple crush, I can get over him soon.

It won't be that hard.

You can do it JinHee, you just have to pretend as if he isn't there.

Fighting!.

With this in mind, I loosed my two buns, used my hands to comb it and let it flow down, in an attempt for it to cover my red cheeks, nose and eyes.

"Pretend as if he doesn't exit and you'll get over him soon" I chanted in my mind and head as I opened the restroom door and moved towards the hallways.

I need to just avoid them for a while and then maybe - just maybe I'll get over him.

"You're talking as if you don't want to get over him"

What? No! I really wan--- okay maybe I don't want to get over him but nevertheless I have to.

Seeing as if he doesn't have any feelings for me, it'll will be pathetic to be in a one sided love.

I cheered silently as The bell rang signalling the end of school.

"At least now I don't have to go to the club house"

I can just get my bag from the class and silently leave the school without having to talk with any Exo member.

Yes, that's exactly what I'll do.

With this in mind, I walked fast towards the direction of my class.

Students were whispering as I walked past them, must be because of my tear streaked face and red nose.

I down the stairs of the 3rd floor and moved towards the 2nd floor where my class was in.

With my head silently ducked down, I moved past class and after class.

"JinHee?" I heard a familiar voice say with worry packed in his tone.

I raised my head and saw Baekhyun looking worriedly at me.

"Aish" I mumbled under my breath.

Here goes my plan of not wanting to see any EXO member.

"Oh. Hey baek" I greeted with a Fake smile which I'm sure he noticed cause he looked at me with a soft gaze.

"Where were you? We've been looking for you?" He asked, I moved towards the class and saw the rest of the guys waiting for me with worry on their face.

"JinHee!" Chen that was the first person to see us shouted. The guys snapped their heads towards our direction. I moved towards them and they crowded around me.

"Where did you go to Damsel? I was so worried?" Luhan said as he tucked a stray hair behind my ear- bad move because my tear streaked face became obvious and visible.

"What happened?"

"Did you cry?"

"Are you okay?"

They all asked apprehensively around me.

I removed the hair from behind my ear.

"Yes" I moved past them and entered into the class.

"H-here's your bag" Sehun said as he handed my bag to me.

I looked up at him and saw that he was looking at me worriedly.

"Thank you"

I turned to the guys that were studying Me softly, my eyes glanced at Jongin that was looking at me with a sad look. His eyes sparkled when we made eye contact but I pretended as if I didn't see it and looked away.

"I'll be going now" I swung my backpack over my shoulder.

"We'll take you--" Suho started but I cut him off.

"No thank you."

"But--"

"Can I please go alone? Just for today?" I pleaded with an exasperated sigh.

He looked at me uncertainly and looked at the boys.

"Okay"

"Thank you" I said as I walked out of the door.

I was about to climb down the stairs when someone caught my arm.

I turned around and Saw Sehun.

"Can you please call Me when you get home? So I'll know you've arrived safely" he said softly.

"Sure" I replied with a small smile.

I gave him a hug and left.

I got out of school and flag down a taxi. I could feel that someone was looking at me so I looked up and saw the guys looking down at me.

I did a small wave and got into the taxi.

I got into the house and rushed into my room.

I threw my backpack and luhan's jacket on the bed, ran into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

I slumped down on the ground and cried my heart out for the Second time today.

"When did you morph into a cry baby JinHee?" I asked myself as more tears poured out.

"Noona?" I heard Jihyun call out from the bathroom.

I looked up and saw him try to twist the door knob.

"Are you okay?" He asked from outside as he constantly knocked on the locked door.

"Noona!" He called out again but I didn't want him to see me like this so I kept quiet and watched the door as fresh tears poured out.

"Noona! Answer me!" He shouted. I could tell he was beginning to get worried but I still didn't move from the floor.

"Dammit!" He shouted as he banged the door continuously.

"Noona! Open this god damn door now before I break it down!" he shouted.

I stood up and wiped my cheeks with the back of my sleeve and opened the door.

He was looking at me with a mixture of anger and worry.

"Hey" I greeted with a forced smile. The last thing I want now is for Jihyun to start worrying about Me.

"Don't hey me miss" he said irritated.

"Why did you lock yourself up in the bathroom?!" He looked pensive.

"I-"

"Why the hell is your eyes red? Wait were you crying?" He asked as he cupped my cheeks. His eyes soften as he watched me.

"Why?" He asked softly.

"I--" I couldn't talk as more tears poured out.

He drop my head on his shoulders. I wrapped my arms around him and cried.

"Shh... Its okay" he comforted as he stroked my back.

After crying for about an hour or so, my sobbings reduced to light sniffing.

He patted my back and I raised my head up.

He had a pained expression on his face as he wiped the tears on my face with his thumb.

"Please stop crying sis" he said. I looked at him and nodded.

"Go take a shower. I'll prepare lunch" he mused as he pushed me back into the bathroom where the shower was still running.

I know he knows something is wrong but same as me my brother won't force me to say anything until I decide to tell him.

I striped off my clothes and got under the pouring water.

My brother's hug and The warm water made Me feel better.

I put on my clothes and got down with a towel in hand as I dried my hair.

I sat down on the dinning table and waited for Jihyun.

After a few minutes, he came out from the kitchen with the soup.

He dropped it on the table and we ate.

After eating he asked what was wrong but I smiled and told him everything was fine. He didn't believe Me but he didn't pry any further.

We watched TV until it was time for dinner.

Due to the Exams, manager Minhyun had proposed for Me to not come to work until after the Exams, it was weird as first but I agreed.

I made Dinner for both of us and we ate.

The thoughts of Jongin didn't cross my mind and I was grateful.

After dinner, We chatted for a while ;Jihyun was telling me about Mihye and how her parents are welcoming.

He told me that he was going to visit them very soon and I said to send my regards.

At about 10:00 Pm, Jihyun announced that he was getting sleepy so I kissed him Goodnight and he left.

I watched TV for a while before I dashed into my room to sleep, not forgetting to pray that tomorrow will be a good day.

++++++

"Noona"

"Noona"

I woke up to someone poking my sides. I opened my eyes and saw my Junior brother all dressed up for school.

"Morning Noona" he beamed.

I smiled at him.

"Hey" I greeted and sat up.

"I made you breakfast, eat and have a nice day at school okay" he mused as he kissed my cheeks and left.

I smiled at him as he rushed out of my room, but My smile slowly faltered when I thought of School.

School.

School.

School.

My brain chanted as I walked to the bathroom.

Going to school means that I'll have to see him.

I'm not ready for that.

I'm not ready to face any of them.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I don't want to go to school today.

I moved towards my wardrobe and checked my exam schedule.

I cheered as I saw that I wasn't having any papers until Thursday. That's two days from now.

That should be enough time for Me to get over him.

I moved towards the kitchen and ate the pancakes Jihyun and prepared for me.

I washed the dishes, swept and arranged the house. After which I took a shower and lied down on the couch.

I could hear my phone ringing nonstop inside the room but I didn't bother to check it.

I know its probably one of the guys so I pretended as if I didn't see it.

After a while the ringing stopped and I breathed out in relief.

I closed my eyes and try to divert my mind out of anything related to the EXO boys, it didn't work at first but after a while it did and I dozed off while thinking of nonsense nothings.

I woke up and saw Jihyun sitting beside me.

"Hey" I greeted.

"Oh! You're awake! I made dinner come eat" he said as he got up and moved towards the kitchen.

"Dinner?" I asked.

"Yes Dinner, you've been sleeping since I came back, so I made you dinner"

"Oh, didn't know I slept for that long" i said as I rubbed my eyes and followed him.

I remember waking up sometime in the afternoon to make lunch, then I ate and watched TV in the living room, I slept off and I woke up now.

"So how's was school today?" I asked him. He looked up at me and rambled how his day went with a smile.

I smiled at the fact that he was happy unlike me who's still heart broken.

He doesn't know i skipped school and I have no plans of telling him.

We ate and kissed each other good night as we went to sleep.

The next day, was a repetition of what happened yesterday.

I woke up to Jihyun's pokes, he left for school and I brushed my teeth and took a bath.

I got down and ate the breakfast he had prepared for Me.

I ate and washed and dried the dishes.

I looked at the wall clock and saw that it was few minutes past nine.

I went into my room and brought out my phone that had been ringing nonstop through the night.

Immediately, I picked it up, it vibrated and a call flashed in.

"Su Eomma" I saw on the screen.

I left it to ring, after a few seconds, it stopped.

I took my charger and ear plugs and went to the living room.

I plugged my phone and lied down on the couch.

This question - "Am I ready to face the guys especially him tomorrow?"- Lingered in my mind as I lied down.

I'm not so sure.

I mean, I don't even know if I've gotten over him but seeing as he isn't occupying my whole brain, I think I'm in the process.

It's not like you can get over someone in a few hours.

I just have to wait and see what tomorrow got installed for me.

But since, I have exams tomorrow, I might not even get the time to think about him.

With this in mind, I stood up and switched on the television.

Better to watch TV than stay bored.

I was moving back towards the couch after putting in a Movie when I heard the door bell.

Furrowing my brows, I paused the movie and walked towards the door.

Who could be there?

I don't remember inviting anyone to my house today and it's not like Jihyun doesn't know the pass code of the house.

"Must be a random person that's here for markerting"

I combed my hair with my hands and adjusted the shirt that was few meters above my short.

I stood behind the door and opened it-since what I was wearing was kinda short.

I looked up and saw the one person I wasn't expecting.

"Hey" the person greeted as he gave me a small smile.

I looked at him in shock.....

"What the hell are you doing here?!"
