Chapter 147 - Inseparable

"So what do you want me to do, then?!"

My eyes flared up, still holding Noah's hand with me. My dad's upper lip rose up and let out a sarcastic laugh in this whole room.

"Do you hear yourself? Are you dumb? This jerk's dad ruined your dad's--"

"Well, I don't have a dad!" I shouted back.

I gripped Noah's hand and dragged him out of there. Dad was calling me but I didn't looked back. I was holding myself not to let out those painful words at him. I still consider him as an elder and I didn't want to be that rude.

When we reached the backyard, I immediately let go of his hand and took a step backwards. He's still speechless to what happened and I want him to speak.

"Aren't you going to say anything to me?"

He's acting so guilty and I hate to see it. I mean, I'm not on his side totally, but isn't he smart enough to realized that it's not his fault?

His dad did it to my father and as he said that I didn't know about it, he should also consider himself innocent with this.

"Y-your mom..don't be mad at her R-raine.. My dad did all of t-this.." His voice cracked.

"I know. I'm not angry,"

He's too hypocrite. The way he moved his head towards the other way. I know he's afraid of receiving a judgement from me.

It's been so long since we talked like this. The strong wind was alluring the remaining strands of his wavy hairs and covered his charcoal eyes.

"I'm adopted, Raine."

His last words deafening my ears. It was like a suddenly revelation that I cannot processed at the time.

His head spun a little to my direction and I was caught with his intimidating stares.

"W-why are you saying this?" I stuttered.

Although, I really wanted to know about him but that's before when everything's still fine with us. When everything's okay between us.

"I am a half Korean and a half American. My mom died as soon as she gave birth to me while my dad was away, living with his country still clueless about me.."

That explains how he had those features of an Asian guy. His eyes are dark as charcoal while his skin isn't the same as an average American people has.

I was asking myself for how many times why he doesn't looked that pure and now this explains everything.. His eyes aren't that narrow as Korean people has, but it's still beautiful and attractive.

"How much do you know about your identity? Do you also know where your father was?"

I know I have no right to give him these questions but I can't just stand still and wait for his another revelation about himself.

This isn't a curiosity about him, I'm just shocked that this kind of scenario was really happening in real life.

"I don't even know his name," He shook his head.

"You shouldn't telling me this, I don't want to be associated with your life anymore.."

I stepped back from where I am standing and slowly turned my body away from him. It's already over for us. I'd worked hard to build a strong wall in my heart, so no one can breaks it again.

I don't want to be part of his life again..

"Don't go,"

I stopped as I heard his trembling voice. My heart was breaking for knowing about his identity, I know it also breaks his heart but I'm not the one he needed.

We've grow apart and learned to established our own future. I believed that he can still make it without me around him anymore.

I mustered up all my strength to keep going without looking back at him. This is life, we can't put something together the way we wanted.

I sleep with an empty heart that night. Now that I saw him again, everything went back. The memories, the pain and even the struggles that we overlooked in the past.

We may not end up together, I'm still glad that we create those memories with a sincere intention.

"Dan's looking for you yesterday. I almost kill him for ranting about you," Jessy said.

I am now back in our apartment. I am preparing for my school and I'm already wearing my school uniform.

"Tell him that I'll go to his unit later,"

I remembered that I promised to treat him before he start to move on from me.

Yeah. Daniel confessed his feelings and I rejected it.

I know that I'm not that pretty to reject a nearly perfect guy like him. But I don't want to fool myself that I have feelings for him when I'm not.

I'll just hurt him in the end and I don't want to ruin our friendship.

"Why are you going to his unit? Are you together?"

Jessy and Gia's brows furrowed. The confusion on their faces was so evident. I chuckled and taped their shoulders.

"I'm going,"

This secret of us will stay hidden forever. I didn't want others to know that I rejected him. It's so disrespectful.

I went to the coffee shop first before coming to our school, so I could drink it while walking. The shop was just a walking distance and it's pretty convenient.

"I knew you'd be here,"

I smiled when his big hands wrapped around my eyes. His familiar scent drives my mood in this day.

"Are you a leech?" I chuckled.

"Why? Because I always stick around you?"

I bit my lower lip to halt my laugh. He's a quick-minded to get it.

"That's fine. As long as we're together," he smiles sweetly. "Make it two please."

I just spun my head towards the other direction. He's too clingy that he even drinks what I wanted to drink.

This guy is so weird.

"Ah. Before we go, I wanted to tell you that our internship will start next year. January 1st week," he took a sip on his cold coffee.

"It's still early to announce that. But still, thanks for reminding me,"

I smirked and we both headed to the school while walking. I didn't know that our friendship will really have gone this far. He's too nice to me and I don't know how to repay him for that.

Jacob is such a boyfriend material. I don't know why he still doesn't get himself a girlfriend. I don't see anything bad that can make a girl dislike him.

"Let's sit together. I needed your help this time."

He asked my seatmate if he could exchanged seats with her and she instantly agreed to him.

"You're lucky, huh?" I chuckled.

"Of course! I'm the best!"

He's so cute when he's doing that. I can't help but laughed to it.

The class started and as Jacob said, he's really asking me when he cannot understand something with the lesson.

Well, I'm pretty good at this subject, so I just taught him. It's not really hard to teach him because he can definitely get it easily.

"Geez. I'm glad that the class has already finished! My head was aching from stiffness earlier!" Marco flexed his neck to the side by side.

"Yeah. It's kind boring but these two looked so thrilled," Jennie looked at me and Jacob. "Are you both dating now?"

They gave us a piercing eyes. I was a bit startled with that. Why would we date each other? We're just friends and I'm just teaching him. I can't see any wrong with that.

When I turned my eyes at Jacob, he also looked startled as his cheeks flared up with that stupid question.

"NO WAY!" We both shouted with our heart.

That will never happened. I mean, I don't want to date him because it will only ruin our friendship. He's actually my type but I don't date my friends. I already said that before.

"Oh. I bet they're really not," Jennie held her chest and laughed with Marco.

Seriously? Why would they think about that impossible question?

Jacob become silent on my side. Maybe he's really surprised with their question. I felt sorry for him.

"I-I'll just go to the r-restroom. You should go to the c-cafeteria first,"

He immediately walked faster away from us. And I was left hanging while looking at his direction. I wanted to shout that he's going the wrong way but my friends dragged me towards the cafeteria.

We already finished our food but still Jacob's not coming. I was texting him but he's not answering. I don't know what's gotten onto him that's why I bid my goodbye to friends to find him.

Did he left already?

I tried to dial his number but it's out of reach now. Should I just go back or find him?

I run as fast as I can to reached the restroom of boys. He should've just text me at least so I wouldn't be like a stupid woman while finding him in this wide compound.

Gosh. Where should I find him?

I went to the other rooms to check if he's there but he's not. The sweat on my forehead was already dripping on my temples for running like that. I used my handkerchief to wiped it and immediately headed towards the school garden.

I even used the stairs to crossed the way to it. I swear, if he's not here I won't find him anymore!

I took a step forward with the beautiful landscape of this garden and looked around. And surprisingly, I saw a familiar figure of a person I know.

From his broad shoulder to his manly scent. I know it's him.

He's just alone and I have no idea why is he here. To all of the places, why he choose to be here?

I was looking for Jacob but I found Noah. What an unfortunate day for me. I shouldn't have looked for that brat!

"Raine?"

My eyes widened as I've heard my name. Oh my god! Did he saw me?!

Shit.

I rushed to run away but it was too late. He already caught my hand before I could run.

Fuck this.
