28. Mint choco

                                    

                                          
I had been in bed all day. I cried most of the time. When the tears stopped coming I would just lay there, staring at the white ceiling. I wasn't able to get out of bed if I wanted to. Well, maybe I could. I also walked a few steps when I grabbed Sunghoon's arms earlier this morning. The thought of him pushing me toward the floor was killing me. I wasn't able to stop thinking about it. Why would he push me? I never expected him to react this way. I wonder what was behind it. 
It couldn't possibly be that Jungwon and I were kissing. I am not able to believe that only that can make him react that way. There must have been more going on. I wonder what it was. That's probably all I'll ever do about it. Wonder. 
A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. "Come in," I said hoping it wasn't Sunghoon or Jungwon. I wasn't able to see them right now. "I brought you something!" Sunoo walked into the room with the happiest face on earth. I'm glad. At least one of us is trying to cheer up. "I wonder what it is!" I said as I looked at the bag with 'ice cream' on it. Omg, Ice cream! I can't wait to eat it. I've been craving it for so long. 
He sat down on the bed next to me and pulled out the ice cream cups. "Two times mint choco!" he said proudly as he handed me one. "Just like we used to have them every Friday." I smiled at how proud he was. I pushed the blanket off and scooched closer to him. "You have no idea how much I needed a good mint choco!" I said as I took the lid off. I know ice cream doesn't smell as vibrant as I acted like it did, but I was just too happy not to overreact. "I'M SO HAPPY!" I said as I took the biggest bite. "I'm glad!" He smiled as he too started to eat from his ice cream. 
"You know, I never thought we'd be living in the same estate, eating the same ice cream." He said to me. It's true, I never expected to live in the same house as my best friend. Now we finally do but we still weren't able to see each other as often as we would like. It was hard for me to connect with them when I first arrived at the estate. I mean, he had lied to me my entire life. It was for good reasons, but still. It was a huge lie. 
I'm glad I can trust him again. I missed my best friend and more importantly, I missed spending time with him. I'm glad we're finally having some one-on-one time. "Do you want to chat or watch a movie?" Sunnoo asked as he put more ice cream into his mouth. "Hmm, I'd love to chat for a bit," I said with my mouth full. I was enjoying the taste of the mint chocolate so much! I haven't had it in so long.
"You know what I would love to do?" I said realising I needed to get out of the estate soon or I'll go mad. "Go to the zoo," I said as I lay back down. If I was going to eat more ice cream my stomach is going to explode. "You?" Sunoo laughed. "You want to go to the zoo?" He asked me with a huge smile on his face. I nodded. "Yes, sounds like a lovely trip," I said as I turned around to lay on my stomach. "I thought zoos were 'the nastiest places ever.'" He said while imitating my voice. I laughed at his attempt. "I know! but everything is better than staying here." I didn't mind being here, but when was the last time I'd been outside? I'd love to go on a day trip.
It feels like ages ago that I last went out. I'd even consider going to the zoo. Sunoo continued to laugh as he lay down next to me. "I'd love to see it. You'd feel sick once you see the first animal." I smiled as I looked at him. I know I would.
"Okay, I know you want to chat but I really want to watch Peter Pan," Sunoo said as he took the last bite of his ice cream. I chuckled. Peter Pan was the movie Sunoo and I would watch over and over again when we were younger. It was our favourite. Every once in a while one of us wanted to watch it again, and we swore to each other we had to watch it every time. So I wasn't able to say no to him. I HAD to watch it.
"Fine, only if you grab me some tea," I said to him. He rolled his eyes and stood up from the bed. "only because you can't walk."He joked while running toward the door. "YOU ASS!" I said as I threw a pillow at him. His laugh faded away as soon as he closed the door. I couldn't help but chuckle before rolling onto my back and staring at the ceiling wondering how long it was going to take for my leg to be okay.
