Chapter 2: UNDER THE BED
I am sitting on the bed for the last fifteen minutes . Because I can not sleep again.
It is not the first time I am sleeping at my boyfriend's apartment . But this keeps happening . At first I thought that it is because I am just sensitive .
But this keeps happening ..... Why does it keep happening ? My head throbs from the sleep-less night . with my heartbeat increasing , as if something is being squeezed inside my ribcage , my ears buzz .
Even if the room is warm , my fingers are cold.
I consider waking up my boyfriend , he has his back turn at me , I feel guilty about calling him.He works hard all day , he is studying for government jobs and at night he has his night time jobs again. We can barely go on dates these days .
That's why I visit him , since he can not leave his house much , but just for his night jobs .
I come on weekends to cheer him by cooking for him , sometimes I end up staying the night since he gets worried about me going back to my house alone at night .
He is such a kind , sweet man.
In the darkness , I hope my boyfriend would have atleast not covered the windows with newspapers , he says that light and noise from outside distract him from studies , maybe that's why the shadows are darker on the walls.
Thump !
My heart jumps with the sound . I can not take it anymore,"Oppa ,Oppa!,"I shake him ,"There is something under your bed"
He groans ,"How many times has it been , honey ?"
"Oppa, check !," I dig my fingers into his arm ,"I am sure this time "
"You said that last time , too ,"he complains , he turns on the light making me blind for a second .
I squeeze my eyes shut as the spots dance on them , I can hear oppa saying ,"See ? There's nothing under the bed "
I get down , rubbing my eyes , ofcourse it's spotless down here , just two big iron trunk sits there as usual, Oppa kicks one of them , playfully ,"You were just having bad dreams , honey "
"Ah," I rub my fingers on my forehead , it must be just that the apartment has been infested with rodents .
That would be no surprise , knowing how Oppa keeps it cool and dark , he says that he prefers this kind of atmosphere , "I am saying that you really need to clean the rooms , you never do that ," I feel like the complains keep pouring out , even if it's in the middle of the night , but I have been always annoyed about it ,- how his room smells musty due to lack of sunlight ,"Clean those trunks too , what if there are rats ! "suspiciously eyeing the trunks ,"What is in there again , Oppa ? "
"Just some tools , do you want to check ?," He asks.
"No , thanks ," a cool shiver runs down my back , what if there are really rats .
He smiles at me , although I can see how tired he is by the dark rings around his beautiful green eyes.
He turns off the light , I am again trying to drown into sleep , the room is suffocating with the darkness ,
Suddenly I feel him getting up and then I hear the bathroom door close.
I must have messed up his sleep . I feel guilty now.
I am alone in the room .
"He _ he _ he _ he_"
I jump out of the bed diving to the floor , my heart starts pounding so loud that I think that my ear drums will burst.
The darkness under the bed is speaking to me ,"He_He_He_He"
Fear trickles down my spine , draining each drop of blood from my fingers and legs , they are cold like I have been standing outside in a Christmas evening in snow.
"Oppa!," my voice comes in a whisper , it's not loud enough to call him. I can not see as my sweat starts mixing with my tears.
I can hear tiny scratching sounds of nails , as if I am in a trance , I peek under the bed.
It's empty as always , except for those two trunk , .
"Thump!"
The sound comes from one of the trunks, which oppa has kicked playfully earlier .
And I don't have any air left in my lungs anyway ,for such heavy work.
But I don't dare to breath , my sweats trickle down from my forehead on the lid.
I open it as much as it is allowed from being half still under the bed .
A pair of eyes meet me from there.
She- , there is this girl , who looks like she is at my age , we have the same brown hair , she is wearing a familiar pink skirt , blue blouse , the same one my boyfriend has gifted me this birthday.
"He_hel_p"
There is a handkerchief stuffed into her mouth , her hands are chained at her back , she tries to speak , as she drowns in her own saliva , tears and snots .
And then I realise that she is not looking at me anymore.
"Honey ?," He speaks from behind me ,"Did you find something under the bed ?"
