Someday- Ch 13
Chapter 13: Maybe
****
…And the pain would stop. But then I realized, you and him are different people.
------
After that date, Yui became distant with me. I don’t find it eccentric, because her whole persona is already odd for me.
Every day, I would watch her. I always stare at her, but she never returns the favor. I tried to consult her; apparently she's not being cooperative. She would always reject me when I’m near to her.
Everything is incomprehensible.
Sometimes, I even feel like I am a stalker, stalking her.
I cannot understand why she is acting like that. As far as I remember, I didn’t do or say anything that would hurt her.
And never will I do it.
For the last 4 days, she kept on ignoring me. I feel like I’m invisible. She makes me feel like I’m not there, physically.
They even felt sorry for me.
And for the past days, I kept on trailing her home, making sure she would be home, safe.
But I never heard her voice. Nor she would look at me in my eyes. She was always in silent.
It was only four days, yet it feels eternity. I even feel my hair had grown into inches.
I cannot even ask her how her day was, how she was and so on. I cannot do anything but to stare at her from afar.
It was upsetting.
After those days, I’ve realize Yui won’t talk to me. And I, as a man, should make the first move. So I decided to make to prepare some lunch for her, hoping it could be a perfect peace offering.
-------
When the bell rang, the students one by one had gone outside. I stared at her and then I saw Yui ransacking her bag. Rather, I think she was doing it purposely in order to avoid making eye contacts with me.
She was in total panic. I stood up and walk on in front of her table. I wanted to help her, but…
I gawk at the thin air, specifically outside. I placed the lunchbox on her desk and said, "Yui... don’t skip your meals."
I did not see her reaction or hear her comment.
Blankly, I step outside our classroom and went to look for them.
-------
“YAH~ CHOI MINHO!”
I huffed. Impassively I look intently outside the window. I cannot prevent myself from thinking… about Yui. Why does she keep things hard for me?
“Minho hyung.”
I wonder if Yui had eaten already. I hope she won’t tire herself. I hope she’s okay.
“Minho… are you okay?” Someone asked. It made me jolted back to my senses. Wearily, I look at him. It was Onew hyung.
“Yes. I am fine. I think.”
“Eat this.” Ki Bum passed me a lunchbox. I smiled at him, swiftly my smile vanished. I heave a sigh for the second time.
“What’s wrong?” Jonghyun asked.
“Yui.”
“Why? Did the two of you broke up already?”
“No…” I stopped and facepalm while thinking. “Well I don’t know. She seems in distant with me.”
“Did you do something?”
“I only told her that I like her… and then she did not response… I swear I’ve seen her in tears too. ”
“Perhaps she got shocked?” Jinki commented. All of them nodded.
Shocked? Why? I mean why should be shocked? I’m perplexed. She told me she liked and now she’s surprised?
“Yah~ Minho, I’m sure, something just came up that’s why Yui’s reaction was like that. Don’t worry, I’m sure, everything will be back to normal.” Key assured. I pressed my lips together and gave him a faint smile.
-------
“Lookie! Look at this!” Taemin said with full enthusiasm. Without expression, I look at them as they cluster together.
"A contest where, you would dress up as clowns, go to the local mall and have ordinary people vote for the best costume. The winning clown will receive a home-made trophy, and a coupon of free dinner..."
"...for ONE WEEK?!"
"Errr? Why does food have to be the prize?"
"Wait... Wait..." Ki Bum pressed his face closer to the paper with squinted eyes. "For the first place, he or she will choose any prize listed after the game."
"I think, they will surprise the winner."
"For the second placer, 5 days of free lunch... Third place, 3 days."
"So... who's in?"
"I want to join!"
"Me too. It looks fun!"
"Me three!"
As all of them made their decision, and everybody shot daggers at me, "Minho, are you coming?"
I exhale loudly and shook my head. "Nope. I’m not interested."
-------
"YAH!" Ki Bum shrieked. I saw Taemin move his shoulder on the side. "This is unfair!! Why does Minho have to won the first place?! He's not even interested earlier!"
Ki Bum glared at me whilst everybody just stared at me. All of them we're smiling at me, and laughing at Ki Bum's silly actions. I shrugged off and went to the information desk.
-------
As I scan every object on the clear glass, one thing had caught my attention. It was a black laced necklace with a red heart shaped pendant.
It made me smile. "Perfect." I whisper.
"Are you going to give that to Yui?" Jonghyun's voice suddenly pops out of nowhere. I saw them gathering around me this time.
I let out a faint chuckle. "Do you think, she will like this?"
"Maybe..."
