Chapter 23: Memories [6]

"What-?!" she breathed out

"Who could do something like this?!" Dowoon said angrily.

"Hey Wang Li [ ]." A group of boys came over and shoved a bunch of cast into her face.

" Is this enough?" They laughed.

" Ack, dude, now your money smells like old men, haha!" One of them egged on

"Cut it out!" Dowoon yelled smacking their hand away

Then a bucket of dirty water was thrown into her face. It was unexpected, causing her to slip and fall.

Dowoon panicked, stepping towards her to help her up.

"Haha, oops" The person who threw the water on her laughed.

Laughter were heard around the classroom, some of the students stood in hallway gather outside the room to see what happened.

[ ] gritted her teeth, she started to shake violently. Her shoulders trembled fighting the urge to cry.

Right, they only cared about what has been written on the internet. They didn't care if it was real or not.

That was just how life is.

"[ ]...Are you-" Dowoon suddenly was shoved away by her, pushing herself through the students and ran away.

"[ ]!"

"[ ] please open the door. What happened to you? You ran home earlier from school" Mr Long slammed his palm on to the wooden door from her room.

"GO AWAY!" She yelled from the inside." I don't want to talk to you! Or any of you!" She trembled.

"[ ] please-" Gen clenched his fists. He was furious; words cannot express how enraged he was.

Dowoon told him everything.

"I SAID GO AWAY!" She screamed then curled up to her blanket crying her heart out

Mr Long shook his head slowly, patting Gen on the shoulder in defeat

"Just give her more time. Now tell me what happened today. She was so happy this morning"

Gen nodded and followed the man to the living. He told him everything.

Mr Long was far more angry.

How dare they. The man stood up and went to his study.

A few days have passed. [ ] hasn't left her room since then. Everyone was worried about her, sometimes Gen would catch her sneaking to the kitchen at midnight but he couldn't make himself come up to her.

Taehoon sat in the studio with Dowoon and Gen. She didn't come to the studio today either nor went to school.

Everything has been repeated just like before.

"This is bullshit!" Taehoon yelled angrily, standing straight up and walking out of the studio.

Gen and Dowoon didn't stop him. They know how he felt. The post and everything that included has been deleted by Mr Long's order

But they never know who posted it. It was from an anonymous account.

"I should probably head home now, see you later Gen." Dowoon said quietly and stood up. "Tell [ ] I said hi"

"Of course" Before stepping out from the studio, Gen smiled and waved to the boy.

Arriving home, he walked past her room to see it was open. Curriously, he entered inside and discovered her room was a shambles. There was garbage everywhere. Dirty cups and other utensils were laying on the cold floor, untouched.

But [ ] was nowhere to be found. Gen looked all throughout the house but couldn't find the girl.

Living with her since they were five years old has formed a strong bond between them, and his instincts warn him that this is not a good sign.

Taehoon was going for the arcade but his guts told him to go to the Mapo bridge instead.

He didn't know why.

Like an invisible thread pulling him to get here. Taehoon let his legs drag him.

As he got closer to the bridge, a bad feeling crept into his chest.

Then he walked past a familiar figure standing outside the bridge.

He walked for a good ten seconds before snapping away from his thoughts and turning around to see who it was.

He almost had a heart attack when he saw [ ] standing there.

She looked horrible. A mess.

"[ - [ ]!" He yelled, walking faster towards her.

He was scared, he panicked. This can't be happening. Not this!

She turned to look at him with puffy eyes.

"I'm sorry Taehoon" She mumbled before letting her body fall down from the bridge.

"NO!" He wished he was only dreaming, but it wasn't

He couldn't think anymore. Without any hesitation Taehoon jumped off the bridge right after her.

They collided and fell into the river. Which was not a nice experience for any of them.

Taehoon swam towards the girl after diving. Bringing her closer to him

Both of them coughed violently after he dragged her to the riverbank.

Taehoon then lifted his head fiercely at her, grabbing both of her arms.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" He screamed

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! IF SOMEONE IS BULLYING YOU, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"

"WHY MUST YOU SUFFER THROUGH ALL OF IT ALONE?! WHY?!" The male screamed, shaking the girl harshly, tears streaming down from his face, his voice became more waverly.

He hugged her tightly, afraid she'd disappear before his eyes.

"Don't you dare do that again...don't you dare leave me behind" He said shakily.

Tears began to gather and fall from her eyes. She placed her arms around him tightly. She was sobbing uncontrollably.

Letting all of her frustration out.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" She cried louder.

"Don't ever fucking do it again."

Taehoon gave her a piggyback ride home, as they approached near the gate. They saw Gen was standing outside with Dowoon. They looked really worry.

"Oh! There she is!" Dowoon yelled, catching the red headed attention.

"[ ]!" Gen took off running towards them. Seeing both of them soaking wet. "What happened?" He asked

"She-" Taehoon's mouth was covered by her hands. The male then shook his head violently taking off her hand "She was about to kill herself"

"WHAT?!" Gen and Dowoon yelled in disbelief

Putting the girl down, she didn't have the gut to look into their eyes. She felt ashamed. The girl bit the inside of her cheek anxiously.

Waiting for Gen's out burst but she got pulled into a hug instead

Lifting up her head to see both of them were hugging her.

"Please-" Dowoon sobbed "Please don't do it again- It's not- It's not your fault" Then he broke down crying squeezing his arms tighter

Gen didn't say anything but he was shaking, his embrace became tighter. She could faintly hear him sobbing into her neck.
