OBEDIENCE || BOOK 2 || JUNG HOSEOK

Soo Emi

We honestly need more days in the weekend. Two days is not enough for me to become fully rested.

I almost feel uneasy going back to work with coworkers who have probably seen what happened with Hoseok and I.

I feel quite embarrassed for running out like that. I should've been more professional and mature.

Ugh, but he just makes it so hard for me to be patient with him. I absolutely hate how he says those things to my face. Especially with those people that were right there.

I smacked myself a couple times.

Just how weak am I to be so impacted by what Hoseok says? I feel so confused with my emotions.

Everything was all over the place!

It's been some time since too.

Friday night was the party and I only stayed for a few hours before the disgusting doorknob ruined it for me. Then I slept the whole day Saturday. I didn't even realize I stayed in bed the whole time until I went outside to enjoy the sun, only to walk into complete darkness.

Now it's Sunday at 4pm and I have done nothing productive or active.

I only sat on my couch and lectured myself on how I shouldn't be so sad over the same thing over and over again. Then again, it is something that bothers me a lot...

I'm just all over the place.

I stared at my TV and blindly drifted off into another world.

I was drowning in my own mind and worries until my phone rings, making me flinch.

I look at the caller ID and it was him!

Yes, I kept his number. But I named him "rude jerk face that should fall down the stairs" in my contacts.

He has some nerve calling me!

Should I be petty?

I'll be petty.

I deny the call and throw the phone back down besides me.

I'm over here feeling like complete poop, you think I could talk to the man?

I get up from the couch and walked to the kitchen to find something to snack on. Something that will help relax my mind.

Food is my guardian angel.

"Stop, baby don't stop. Stop, baby don't stop." I sang as I run my hands through my soapy hair. "Cotton, wind, blow, blouse, hair, flower, aroma, scent, cold, eyes, ice, dive, touch, warm, melt, lips. BABY! BABY, I JUST FEEL SO RIGHT! BABY, I JUST FEEL SO NI-"

(Song is Baby Don't Stop by NCT U Taeyong and Ten)

Ding Dong!

I stopped singing and turned towards my bathroom door.

It's, like, 8 at night. It may not seem late, but since I'm not expecting anyone...this is concerning.

I stepped out of the shower, quickly dried myself, and threw on a robe.

The doorbell rang again, making me forget about drying my soaked hair. I just rushed out to the living room.

I peek through my curtains and found Hoseok standing outside the door with his hands in his pockets.

I sucked in my breath.

Are you kidding me?!

What in the world? What is he doing here? I thought I told him to stay away from me!
