Love, Juliet (1/1)
“Nari! Wait up.” Chanyeol called. She was heading out of the classroom when Chanyeol called her. Nari stood outside of the door waiting for Chanyeol.“I need to go.” Nari said when Chanyeol stood in front of her.“Where are you going? We have to see Baekhyun.” Chanyeol reasoned out.“Chanyeol, we’ve been trying to talk to him ever since they broke up. Now, if he can’t bounce out of that, I don’t think we can do anything. He barely attends his classes.”“Spare some patience for the kid, he has a broken heart.”Nari snorted. “Broken heart? Why? Is he the only person here on earth with a broken heart? I’m tired of seeing him like that.” Nari explained shaking her head. “You have to go see him yourself from now on.” Just like that and Nari left Chanyeol.-------------------There he was, lying on his bed, things thrown everywhere. That’s how Baekyun have become since the girl he loved dearly left him for another man.While other students have their roommates, Baekhyun has his room for himself. Books we’re thrown everywhere, clothes everywhere; the only thing properly placed was the picture of his ex-girlfriend on the bedside table.“Baekhyun, aren’t you growing tired of this?”Baekhyun looked towards the door to see Chanyeol, resting on the door frame. “How did you manage to open the door? Where’s Nari?”Chanyeol invited himself in, picking up strewn clothes on the floor and putting them in the laundry basket. He got something from his pocket and tossed it on Baekhyun’s bed. It was the spare key for Baekhyun’s dorm room. “She asked me if I could give that back to you.”“Where is she?”“She’s tired, Baekhyun.” Chanyeol sighed. “You know that your best friend likes you but… how can you still act like you don’t know?”“What are you talking about?” Baekhyun asked.Chanyeol snorted. “You asked her for help when you were asking your ex-girlfriend out. What did she do? She helped you, like doing crazy errands and stuff. When she broke up with you, who was the first person who came to console you after calling tons of people? Who? It was Nari, right? No one can stand you but her, and look where she is now? Who is she in your life? She’s your best friend. If she can’t help you, then no one can but yourself.Baekhyun wasn’t answering. He was just looking at the floor, holding the spare key in his hands. Not once had his ex-girlfriend kept that key, but it’s always with Nari.“I just dropped by to give that to you. I’ll see you later; I have to attend my evening classes.” Chanyeol told him and left the room, closing the door in the process.Baekhyun looked at the room after Chanyeol walked out. Chanyeol has been hanging out with Nari a lot that he actually does what Nari do.FLASHBACKNari opened the door to find Baekhyun still sleeping and the room in a mess. She closes the door and dropped her things on the corner. She sat on the bed and sighed.“Baekhyun-ah…” She called while patting his back. “Baekhyun-ah, time to wake up.” Nari shakes him.“Hmm…” Baekhyun’s eyes slowly opened, adjusting on the lights. Nari has opened the blinds and the windows.“C’mon, get up.” Nari assisted him in sitting up. “Good boy. Now here…” Nari pushed the towel in his hands and held his hand for him to get up. “Take your shower; we still have classes we need to attend. You still have thirty minutes to do your stuff and I brought breakfast.” Nari pushed him towards the bathroom and close the door. She’ll start to clean his place after she hears the shower curtain.Baekhyun opened the door to see no one in his room. No Nari, her bag was gone too. Nari left the room clean; bed made, books on the shelf, and his dirty clothes nowhere to be found.He walked towards his study table where Nari left a bag. Baekhyun took the note on the bag and read it.Eat your breakfast and I’ll meet you in class. I left early to send your clothes for laundry.- NariEND OF FLASHBACKStill, no matter how Nari takes care of Baekhyun, he can’t just find the reason to smile anymore. Nari never left Baekhyun in times of his despair, but every person, no matter how they’re so patient, they will always have a limit.-------------------“We’re on in 3… 2… 1…”ON AIRAnd you are now listening to Tell Me Something from the Heart with me, DJ Juliet. How was your day, fellow students? I assume a lot of you guys have gone home because it’s weekend. However, messages are still coming stable. I’ll read and answer them later, right now, let’s listen to Dong Bang Shin Ki’s ‘Love In the Ice’.Nari took the headphones off and rest it on the table. She has three minutes before they need to go back on air. Another hour of her day which she needs to talk about love, that’s what she thinks every time the clock strikes 8 in the evening. She had been DJing for almost a month now, and no one knows who she is except for being Juliet, the DJ.The listeners totally love her because she gives great advices. No one knows that all she had were heartbreaks and pain causes by love. Nari just knew how to use them for her own good.And we’re back. It’s time to read your messages. Hmmm… One from ‘ms.finearts’, well I’m guessing that you’re from the fine arts department. The question is,“My boyfriend and I broke up two days ago. Although I initiated the talk about break up, why do I feel like this? I don’t know if its guilt that is killing me or whatever it is. I hope you can answer my troubled mind.”Well, first of all, I don’t think it’s your mind that is troubled by now, it’s your heart whether you admit it or not. And do you know why? It’s the fact that the person you once loved and once yours, is not with you anymore. Breaking up with your boyfriend doesn’t make all the feelings for him go away. There’s this saying ‘you won’t know the importance of a person in your life, until he or she is gone’. Try to find somewhere in your heart what you truly feel for him, don’t wait for the time when it’s too late. Love, Juliet.‘ms.finearts’ I hope I helped you to realize something. Next question would be…Love, Juliet would mark the end of an answer to the question. Nari’s evening would be full of questions and stories about love and nothing more.An hour passed already and it’s time for us to go. Remember, love is something the brain triggers, but we feel from the heart. This has been DJ Juliet, still looking for her Romeo.OFF AIR‘More Than Words’ played. Nari took the headphones off and rest her head on her palms. One staff went inside the booth and taps Nari on her shoulder.“Nari, are you okay?” In which Nari nodded with a plain nod. “Let’s go out, there’s pizza.” She invited.“Okay.” Nari stood up, following the staff.-------------------Chanyeol was waiting for Nari outside the girls’ dormitory early in the morning. “Nari.” He called when he saw her walk out of the building.“Oh, hey. What are you doing here? It’s…” Nari looked at her watch. “8AM. Yah, Park Chanyeol. It’s so early you know?”Chanyeol nodded. “I know.” He walked towards her. “Where are you headed to?” Chanyeol asked seeing Nari bringing a small bag.Nari smiled, looking away. “To the registrar’s office.”Chanyeol frowned. “To the registrar’s office? Why? Are you going to enroll something?”“No, nothing.” Nari shook her head. “I’m going to switch classes.”“Switch classes? Why? Is there something wrong? Do you have conflicting schedules? We’ve been in school for a month now.”“I’ve already talked to my professors. I just need to fix it according to the rules.”“Are you trying to avoid Baekhyun?”“No.” Nari denied. “Why would I?”“Then why would you?” Chanyeol asked pertaining about changing schedules. “Then I’m going to switch classes too.”“No.” Nari refused. “Baekhyun needs you.”Chanyeol sighed. “Okay, okay. Let’s go, I’ll walk you to the registrar’s office.”-------------------Baekhyun’s P.O.V. I’ve lost everything because of loving too much. Because I’ve lost my best friend, I realize that love doesn’t make sense, loving is foolish, and loving without being loved back in return is like suicide.Does Nari feel that way? Is Chanyeol saying the truth? Or I’m just too blind to see? I don’t want to lose her because of love. I don’t believe in love anymore. It’s ridiculous how I almost lost my mind because of love.End of P.O.V.Baekhyun woke up early, the way he used to before having the sullen life. He made his bed and cleans his room. He showered early to attend their morning class at 10AM. He, Chanyeol, and Nari share the same schedule.He got his bag and left the dorm, going to their building to attend classes. It was still a few minutes before 10. He sat next to Chanyeol which shocked his friend.“Baekhyun?”“What? Is it your first time seeing me?” Baekhyun smirked.“In a normal state? Yes.” Chanyeol nodded.Baekhyun noticed the empty seat in between them. “Where’s Nari?” But Chanyeol only looked at him. “She’s not coming to class today? Is she sick?”“No…”“Then why is she not here?” Baekhyun asked. Their professor just came in.“She changed her classes this morning.” Chanyeol explained. ------------------- Thanks for subscribing guys.
