Lumière dans mon obscurité

Chapitre 6

*fast forward to Saturday*

Your POV

The first week of college is like a flash. I didn't expect it to be so quick. It feels like yesterday was the first day.

Your POV

Han is the type of guy that doesn't run out of energy. Thankfully, he made new friends at our other classes, so he doesn't have to talk to

Your POV

me all the time. He met some guy name Changbin who is talkative like him, and I find very funny. But he looks scary when he's serious.

Your POV

There are also times that Han wanted to drive me home, but thankfully I have my brother as an excuse, so he understands.

Your POV

Today my mom is taking me to one of my aunt's Blanc & Eclare boutique. She said that she wants me to model for the eyewears and clothing.

Your POV

Aunt Sooyeon is one of people that I admire the most, and I'm always excited to see her. I call her "eonni" when I'm talking to her.

Mom

Lily. Are you all set?

Soohee

Yes mom. Are we going now?

Mom

Yes we're going now. Take your little sister, she wants to see her aunt too.

Soomi

I wanna see Jessica!

Soohee

Soomi-ah, at least call her eonni okay?

Soomi

But you're my eonni. Shouldn't I call her gomo?

Seungmin

Wow I still can't believe she's 5.

Dad

She's got that smart brain from her dad.

Seungmin

You mean mom?

Dad

Hey! I'm gonna force you to move out if you don't take it back

Soohee

Oh good idea dad!

Seungmin

What?! No. I mean Soomi is a girl, that's why it should be mom right? If it's me, I got it from you!

Dad

Hmm. Okay. I get your point.

Your POV

Sometimes, Seungmin and dad are acting like brothers.

Mom

We're going. Bye hun! Bye Seungmin~

Dad

Bye love~ *kisses mom*

Your POV

Ugh. I can't tell mom not to call dad "hun", or she'll question me. So I have to endure it.

Your POV

As we we're arriving, I saw aunt Sooyeon waiting for us outside.

Sooyeon

There's my favorite girls!

Soomi

Gomooo!

Sooyeon

My little Soomi! So beautiful~ come inside now, I have something for you later.

Mom

Hi eonnie~ I brought your soon to be favorite model. Finally she agrees.

Your POV

They both laughed and hugged each other, then aunt Sooyeon turned to me.

Sooyeon

Oh Soohee you've grown so much! I'm glad that you agreed to be a model now, you were so shy back then.

Soohee

Yes eonni. Sorry about that. I'll try not to be shy anymore.

Sooyeon

Oh good! Because you'll be posing with a guy now. Come inside!

Soohee

Wait what?! Mom! You didn't mentioned a guy!

Mom

If I mentioned it, I figured you wouldn't come. Go inside now!

Your POV

You're kidding me. Ugh.

Sooyeon

Just wait here and I'll call him, he's in the photo studio already. We'll give you time to get to know each other so you'll be comfortable.

Your POV

Mom held my face and looked at me straight in the eye. I feel like she's going to have a speech.

Mom

Hun..

Your POV

There's that "hun" again...

Mom

I know your not comfortable around any guys since--

Soohee

Don't mention it mom, I know.

Mom

Okay, but I'm sure this is just a one time thing. I'll ask your aunt not to have your photoshoots with some guy anymore next time.

Soohee

Well why didn't you do it?

Mom

Well your aunt is already settled with the guy, and she said she needed a female model as well, so I took the chance and recommended you.

Mom

Do it for me okay?

Your POV

I love my mom, and I can't stay mad and say no to her. So I just accepted.

Sooyeon

Here he is! Soohee, meet Christopher Bang, or Bang Chan rather, he just came home from Australia--

Your POV

I didn't here anymore words when I heard that name. I turned to where aunt was standing, and beside her was Bang Chan...

Your POV

It can't be...my ex boyfriend is here.

Your POV

I felt the world spinning. My hands were suddenly cold. And I'm sure I'm pale like a vampire. I'm shaking mad.

Your POV

My mom was shocked as well, and she was holding my arm for support.

Your POV

I will never forget that face. My first love. Why, of all the places, why must he be here?

Your POV

I looked at him straight in the eye, and I can see he's shocked as well, like seeing a ghost in the past.

Your POV

But he quickly removed it and turned his facial expression into his normal one.

Sooyeon

Soohee? Are you okay?

Your POV

My mom looked at me nervously, and clearly she wants me to talk first.

Soohee

Umm..Y-yes. Eonni. I'm just, nervous that's all. I just feel shy again.

Sooyeon

Oh okay. For a moment there I thought he was your worst enemy or something. Say hi Bang Chan! This is my niece Soohee.

Bang Chan

*sighs* Hi Soohee. I'm Bang Chan. Nice to meet you!

Your POV

Oh now he's acting like he doesn't know me. Well, two can play at that game.

Soohee

Hi to you too. I'm Soohee.

Your POV

I felt my walls are coming back up. I don't feel anything towards him but hatred.

Mom

She'll do just fine. Call me if you need anything Soohee. We'll leave you two alone. Eonni, can you show me those new glasses you mentioned?

Sooyeon

Oh! I forgot about that. Okay you two have fun getting to know each other!

Your POV

When they left, I swear the room turned grey. We were just staring at each other. I wanted to cry, but I need to look strong in front of him

Your POV

Or at least, act like I'm strong.

Your POV

He walked slowly towards me and offered a handshake..

Soohee

I'm not taking that hand.

Bang Chan

*sighs* Look, I didn't know that I'll be having the photoshoot with you, I thought it was just me.

Soohee

Well same here. If I knew I'm having a photoshoot with you, I will not go here.

*silence*

Bang Chan

So...how are you? It's been 2 years. Feels like a long time.

Soohee

Things have been great, not until I saw your face again.

Bang Chan

Why do you have to be so mean?

Soohee

You said you weren't coming back Chan. Did you know what that felt like when you said that?

Bang Chan

Well did you know how I felt when you just shut me out?

*silence*

Soohee

I don't have to deal with us anymore. We're done anyways. Let's just get this over with. And let's act friendly in front of my aunt.

Bang Chan

Your mom will probably know we're faking it.

Soohee

She will understand it, and will not say a word to my aunt.

Your POV

As I turned around, two muscular arms wrapped around me, and I felt his breathing in my ear.

Bang Chan

No matter the circumstances, or what happened between both of us, I still...missed you Soohee.

Your POV

As I heard those words, a tear slid down my cheek, and I was shaking again. His hug tightened when he felt that I'm shaking..

Your POV

Even though I hated him, I honestly missed this... Missed him.

Your POV

We quickly stepped away from each other as we hear my mom and aunt.

Sooyeon

So..you two ready?

Soohee

Yes, we're ready.

Bang Chan

Yeah. We just had enough time to get to know each other.

Your POV

My mom gave Bang Chan "the look", and he quickly bowed to her.

Bang Chan

Hello ma'am, you must be Soohee's mom.

Mom

Hmm. Yes. Hello.

Soohee

Okay! Can we start now, I still have a lot to read at home.

Sooyeon

Sure! Can't keep you from your studies hun.

Your POV

When I heard "hun", Han's face suddenly popped into my head. I kinda wish he was here...

Your POV

So he can talk and talk to Bang Chan and they'll both leave me alone and talk about guy stuff. Like a shield of some sorts. He he.
