《27》
Rain poured down on me as I trudged home. Puddles of water nearly brushed against my ankles they were so deep. The tennis shoes I were currently wearing were ruined beyond repair. There was water soaked into the deepest pores of the fabric, and I knew once it dried, the fabric would stink. Moral of the story. I needed new shoes now because these were trash.
As I stormed back to the building my whole entire body was soaked. The second I walked out of the restaurant the down pour had started and continued until now.
Any sane person would have turned around and waited out the the rain inside the restaurant, cozying up in a nice warm booth.
But I guess I'm not sane. I've dealt with this crap for long enough.
The moment I walked inside every eye was on me. And not in the good way. My shoes squelched as I walked across the floor in the front lobby.
I literally looked like I had jumped into a swimming pool with three layers of clothes on. A small river dripped off my body and followed me everywhere I went.
As I stood and waited for the elevator a small pond formed under me.
When the ding sounded I quickly scurried into the elevator. The moment the elevator closed I let out a loud sigh. One, because I was on my way to scream at wonho. And two because I was finally not being judged immensely by every single person that laid eyes on me.
The moment the elevator doors opened I scurried out and sped down the hallway to wonho's room. Back in the elevator there was a huge dark mark on the carpet from the puddle I had created while standing there. Stupid rain.
I felt my heart pounding as I slammed my hand against his door. "WONHO."
I stood there pounding harder, ready to break down the door when wonho answered the door.
"Yes?" He was dressed up from head to toe in a black suit with a red, shiny tie.
"What the hell??" I asked as I scrunched up my face in disgust and confusion as I looked him up and down.
"I could ask you the same thing. Look what the ocean washed up, an old sea hag." He laughed a bit too hard at that one.
I stood there stone faced as I glared at him. He calmed down after a few more spurts of laughter. He was nearly crying at his own joke and I just rolled my eyes. He wiped away tears, that's how hard he was crying.
When he was finally sane again he took a breath and looked down at me.
By now, another small swimming pool had formed at my feet.
"So what do you need?" He asked.
"What do I need???" I screamed. "I NEED YOU TO STOP MESSING WITH EVERYONE AND STOP DOING ALL THIS STUPID PUBLICITY CRAP."
"What-??..."
"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THE CAMERAS. THE KISSES. THE ADVANCES. THE GIRLS. JUST STOP IT. PLEASE. UGH."
Wonho just stayed quiet after my outburst.
"So- it's working then...?"
"What's working-?..."
"Everything you want me to stop doing- it's all making you jealous- becaused You're in love with I.M."
That wasn't even the half of it.
"N-no I'm not-" I stuttered, not helping my case.
"Mhmm sureeeeeeeee."
"I'M NOT."
"You seem pretty defensive for someone who doesn't care and isn't jealous." He put finger quotes around 'doesn't care' and 'isn't jealous.
"I'M NOT! I DON'T LIKE HIM. UGH."
Wonho just smirked and looked over my shoulder.
"What-?" I asked as I looked at him and then turned around.
I.M. was standing there and his face was almost as red as wonho's tie. He looked like someone had just slapped him.
No. No. No. Nonononono. NO. nope. NOPETY NOPE. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. I.M. was the one that was making out with the girl in his bed. I did nothing. This was not my fault. Not my problem. I had nothing to be sorry for or feel bad about. I had done nothing wrong.
And yet, seeing his face after he heard what I said, I wanted to cry. I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. I wanted to scream and run to him and hug him and kiss him all over. I only said that I didn't love him because wonho was annoying the crap out of me and I was already so pissed about all the stunts he was pulling with the cameras and planting girls with each of the guys. I did love him. I was in love with Jooheon too- but, I still was in love with him.
"I.M.-" I took a step towards him and he took a step back. "N-no-" I felt myself tearing up. My heart was breaking. I took another step towards him. Another and another. Each step I took towards him, he took one backwards. The same amount of space remained between us.
"Don't bother." He said with an expressionless face and an emotionless face. He turned and walked down the hallway to the elevator. "I.M!!" I shouted as tears poured down my face. I couldn't get out the words the words fast enough. "I LOVE YOU-" But it was too late. He was long gone as the elevator doors closed behind him. My body felt as if it was made of lead. I couldn't move. The only thing that made me move was the sound of something dropped behind me. It made me jump a bit and I turned around to see Jooheon.
"Jooheon-??" He didn't even let me say anything. He turned away and ran in the opposite direction. The object that had fallen- well, been chucked to the ground, was now crumpled in a heap on the floor. A bouquet of flowers.
I just stood there. It had all happened so fast. Both halves of my heart had been shredded at the seams. I didn't know what to do with myself. The blood in my ears was roaring as my head pounded. The only sounds I could hear was a ringing in my mind and a deep throaty chuckle from wonho. I turned my head and glared at him. My eyes were like daggers.
"You are a heartless monster." I growled at him as tears continued like little rivers down my cheeks.
He just chuckled again. "You may think that, but the two of them- they think you're the heartless monster."
He closed the door and I was alone in the hallway. I melted into as puddle on the floor almost literally.
It wouldn't have mattered if I wasn't dripping wet from the rain, I would have drowned in my own tears anyway. As of right now I was sinking into an ocean.
