Chapter Six: Message
Sooyoung's POV
I sighed as I glance at my phone.
No message.
I look back at the ceiling and sighed, again. It's very unusual for Taehyung-oppa not to send any messages to me. It's been two days yet I still haven't received anything! Maybe he's just busy? But even his busy he still text me. Heck, even in the middle of the night he still text me.
I frowned at my thoughts. Why am I blabbering anyway? It's not like he has to send me messages every minute.
"Ugh" I groaned.
What the heck Sooyoung? You're like a girlfriend waiting for her boyfriend to update her about his whereabouts.
I slap myself. You're just friends! Nothing more nothing less. Just friends.
Is it because I got used to it? Did he got tired already?
That's it! I need a distraction. I need to do something. I took my coat and my bag. As I walk out from my room, I saw Yerim, watching TV.
"Yerim, do you want to go with me in the company building?"
"What are we gonna do in the company building?"
I shrugged. "Practice"
She just look at me bored and shook her head. "No thanks. I'm fine here"
"Okay. Just tell the other that I went to the company building"
She just nodded and I headed to the company building.
Panting, I slumped myself on the couch. I've been dancing for hours now but it still doesn't help. I eye my phone in the table. Still no message.
I mess my hair. Why can't you just shrugged it off, Sooyoung?! You're not his responsibility! Why can't your head understand that?!
I heard the door opened making me look. Joohyun-unnie and Seungwan-unnie entered with a bags on their hands.
I sat up. "What are you doing here?"
They put the bag on the table. "It's already pass noon and you're still not coming back to eat your launch. So we decided to bring you some"
My eyes widened. My eyes landed on the wall clock and I mentally curse at myself. It's already two o'clock in the afternoon!
"I must have been so focus on dancing that I forgot the time. I'm sorry"
"It's okay. Just eat already" Joohyun-unnie said as she prepare the foods.
My stomach growl at the sight in front of me.
Seungwan-uunie chuckled. "You must be hungry. Now, eat"
I don't have to be told twice. I quickly took the plate and spoon and started eating.
While I am eating, my phone beeped. I quickly reached it with my hand almost making me dropped my plate.
"Be careful"
I didn't pay attention to Joohyun-unnie as I opened the message.
From: Yerim
Unnie, are Joohyun-unnie and Seungwan-unnie is already there? Manager-unnie is looking for them. They left their phone here at the dorm that's why I texted you. Please tell them to come back here asap. Thanks
I sighed and disappointedly placed my phone back.
"Who is it?" Seungwan-unnie asked.
"It's Yerim. She said that manager-unnie is looking for you and that you have to go back to the dorm asap"
Silence envelope between the three of us. I put my plate on the table.
"You're done?" Joohyun-unnie.
I nodded.
"But you barely eaten it. You have to eat Sooyoung"
I shook my head. "I loss my appetite. I'll go back to dancing"
I was about to stand up but Seungwan-unnie stop me by holding my hand.
"Is there something wrong?" Seungwan-unnie asked worriedly.
I tried to smile and shook my head. "There's nothing wrong, unnie"
"Cut the crap, Sooyoung. Don't you think we'll not notice? You've been so down lately and you keep looking at your phone. Is this about Taehyung?"
My eyes widened at Joohyun-unnie. Am I that obvious? I opened my mouth to say something but nothing's coming out.
"Based on your reaction, it's a yes" She stated.
I bowed down my head. "I'm sorry"
"Why are you saying sorry"
I bit my lower lip. "Because I'm letting my emotions take over me which is not good"
"There's nothing wrong about it Sooyoung" Seungwan-unnie. "So tell us, what's wrong?"
I look at the two of them. I play with my fingers as I answer her.
"It's been two days since the last time he contact me. I don't know why I'm anticipating for his texts but I can't help it. Maybe because I already got used to it? I just can't. And I hate it because I'm not supposed to feel like this. That's why I'm here, distracting myself but, I just can't. I can't "
Seungwan-unnie patted my back while Joohyun-unnie hold my hands for comfort.
"Why are holding your feelings, Sooyoung? Why can't you just let it all out?"
I stared at Seungwan-unnie in confusion. "What does that suppose to mean?"
"What Seungwan means is to let your feeling for Taehyung out. Don't hold it. Don't hide it. Just be honest to yourself"
I look at them in disbelief as I shook my head. "I think you misunderstood this. I don't have any feeling to Taehyung-oppa. What I mean is, I, got used to Taehyung-oppa's messages which is not good. That's why, I'm diverting my whole attention by dancing it all out. That's it"
"Sooyoung.... "
"I think it's time for you to go, unnie. Manager-unnie must be waiting for you at the dorm. Just forget about this conversation. Forget everything I said."
"Sooyo—"
"Please unnie, I just want to be alone."
The two of them sighed before standing up.
"Just, go home before night"
I just nodded at her without looking up. I heard the door opened and then closed.
I put my palm in my face. What the heck was that?
My phone ring and I lazily picked it up without looking at the caller.
"Sooyoung?"
My eyes widened and my heart beats faster as hear that voice.
"T-taehyung oppa?" my voice shake as I say his name. The name of the person who's been occupying in my mind for this past few days.
"Oh my god Sooyoung! I miss you!"
I can feel my cheeks burning when I heard those words.
"W-what I mea—Taehyung you little idiot! You're done when I find you!"
My eyebrows furrowed when I heard Seokjin-oppa's voice.
"Shit" I heard him cursed from the other line.
"Okay, listen, I don't have much time. I'm sorry that I haven't contacted you for two fucking days. It's just that Seokjin-hyung took all our gadgets, us, the maknae line, and I just stole my phone from him to inform you. But don't worry! I'll contact you in any ways—Taehyung!—fuck. So that's it. I think I'm dead once they find me—Seokjin-hyung! The culprit is here!—Jungkook!—Hyung!—I'm sorry!—Ouch!—Pull him out!—Fuck—No cursing—Help me!"*toot*toot*toot*"
Silence.
"What the heck was that?" I mumbled at myself after the phone call ended.
I eyed my phone in disbelief and smiled afterwards. At least I already know why he haven't contacted me for the past two days.
So far for not having any feelings for him Sooyoung.
