I scrolled through SnapChat. When I saw Aisha's snap, a chill froze my limbs as it crawled up my body like a spider. The memory of when I convinced her to get the app was faint in my head, our voices were like background music ringing in my ears. Still somehow, I managed to remember that day, though it was a little foggy. That day wasn't very long ago, actually. Now that I started to think about it, it had only been two weeks since everyone made up with Aisha. It was only shortly after that when I convinced her to download SnapChat, so she was still trying to figure out the features.

I clicked on the bottom map icon. For some reason today, my curiosity was stronger than ever. My heart stopped beating when I saw her icon hovering over an unfamiliar area. It said her location was in a rich neighborhood not too far from where we went to school. Why was she there? She doesn't live there...?

Shifting my position on my bed, I continued to search further. My fingers zoomed in and out on the screen. Third house from the left before the turn onto Quokka Drive. On Jinret Lane.  I pulled up my Maps app on my phone in another tab. There, I searched from the satellite view for Jinret Lane. "Bingo,"   I thought once I spotted it.

Now it's the third house.. from the left....

HERE!

320 Jinret Lane. That's where she is right now. As far as I knew, she didn't have any family who lived in that neighborhood. She could be in danger and I wouldn't know. It's not like I can just text her like "Hey Mate, I was talking your location why are you in a strange neighborhood that you don't live in"

Might as well check it out for myself. It wouldn't kill anyone if I did. No, I should respect her privacy.  But at the same time, was it really private if everyone knew where she was?

Nah.

With my mind fully convinced now, I got up from where I was laying in bed. Once I was in the car, even once I parked the car across the street and hid behind the bushes, the easy part was over. The hard part was seeing inside through the windows of the house, trying to find her to make sure she was alright. Should've brought binoculars so you could see inside.  Great going, Mate.

A light bulb started to flash a light inside of my brain. What if I use my phone camera and just zoom in?  Oh God, I feel like a stalker. But my God  it was worth it for Aisha's protection. I already lost her once. I can't risk losing her again.

Flipping my phone on, I opened up my camera, moving it around the house until I found an open window. That's when I spotted her. My heart skipped a couple beats at the sight of her. A beautiful smile on her face, her pearly white teeth showing brightly. I missed that smile so much. I wish I could make her smile like that. That's when my heart sank, my thoughts became more vague after witnessing someone standing next to her. Hyunjin.  This is Hyunjin's house. Why was she with him? Alone?

I continued to watch them, my eyes glued on her every move. Hyunjin's body language said it all, no explanation needed: He likes her. In fear of making a bad move, I stayed still. She was just talking to him in the living room when Hyunjin grabbed her arm, pulling her upstairs. Her shocked, but still friendly scream was faint from outside the house. From what I could make of it, it sounded almost as if she had asked "what are you doing?"

Hyunjin pulled her into a room. The room was pretty empty except for a bed, pretty basic walls, papers, and photos scattered all over the place. This must've been his bedroom. He trapped her against the desk as they exchanged a couple of words. She looked so flustered, slightly uncomfortable almost. Did he have no respect for boundaries?

That's when it happened. I could feel my heart shattering into a million pieces, my world falling apart right before my eyes. I was in a state of shock as my eyes stayed focused on Aisha and Hyunjin. He pulled her closer. Naur.

His hand wrapped around her waist. Naur Naur Naur....

Their faces are inches apart. Stop.... Aisha...

Then their lips connected. A tear escaped my eye. I'm going to regret this, I thought while I snapped a photo of them. Soon after, I left, leaving my broken heart there in that bush I hid behind. I must've looked like a maniac.

I feel like a maniac.

This is what I get for snooping in other peoples' business. I shouldn't have. I wish I never did. Turning my phone on again, I stared at the photo. Was I wrong for doing it though...? Rephrase: Was I wrong for wishing I were Hyunjin at that moment?

That one question triggered a flood of tears.

"I just really love you... you're the only reason why   I really   love you. When I see you I just can't get enough, and I can't live without you... Aisha...."

My voice gave into the pain, giving up on speaking normally. I whispered to myself, "I just really love you,  Aisha,"

I pulled away from Hyunjin. "I thought we agreed you wouldn't keep doing that. I don't feel the same way, Hyunjin," I tried explaining one more time.

"I-I'm sorry I just... I really, really   like you. I know you can't be with me, but please... I don't want to be without you. I hate the thought of other guys being near you. I want you to be mine,"

"Hyunjin, you know-"

"Please! We can keep it a secret! Or... friends with benefits?"

Now this was all getting out of hand. "Hyunjin. You have two seconds to cut it out before I leave and never come back,"

There was a brief silence between us. "I'm sorry, Aisha. I don't think I can do that,"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Then it looks like I'm leaving," I sighed, walking out of his room, later stepping foot outside of his house. Whatever came over him was starting to get on my nerves. If he can't just accept me as a friend and nothing more, then I guess we won't have me as a friend nor anything else anymore.

Goodbye, Hyunjin.
