The Second Chapter

The Second Chapter

He didn’t know she was there. He was wallowing too much on his misery that he failed to notice somebody else’s presence. She lifted up her head when she heard his footsteps against the grass. He wished he never went there. He wished she were never there. He wished he didn’t look into her eyes. Because the moment he did, he wasn’t able to look away anymore.

Sehun winced because of the stinging on his lower lip. He momentarily forgot that his coffee was still too hot. He cursed himself for getting distracted. It had been like that ever since he got home last night. He quickly made his way past the other students and found his classroom.

For the past years, seventy percent of his mind was occupied by dance. The rest was about the trivial things on his dull life, ways on how to deal with Jongin and Chanyeol and an even smaller percent about his stupid past. But right now, one percent is seemingly being occupied by something, or rather, someone else.

Jung Daesom.

He frowned when he remembered the said girl. She was a real pain on the neck, he was sure. If only he didn’t make that mistake, his life would remain unmoved like how it was. He gulped his coffee in one go, somehow attempting to wash away his thoughts of Jung Daesom with it.

“You seem rather annoyed.”

Sehun almost choked when Jongin suddenly spoke beside him. He craned his neck to the side to give his friend a glare before turning his attention to the window.

“Did something happen, Sehun-ah? It’s not your usual I-hate-the-world-and-the-world-hates-me kind of face. What’s bothering you?” Jongin asked.

“None of your business.” He answered coldly.

“I’m always making you my business so just spill it out.”

“Nothing’s wrong. You’re just imagining stuff.”

His friend looked closely at him while tapping his chin with his forefinger. “Girl problem?”

He froze for a millisecond because of the question. Jongin was good at reading people but there was no way he could deduce that since Sehun had become a closed book ever since what happened.

A smirk slowly crept on Jongin’s face. “It is a girl, huh? You started liking somebody?”

“No.” Like? More like despised.

“You can’t deny it to me, Sehun-ah. It’s been a long time but I know that face. You always make that face when you and –“ Jongin halted on his words when Sehun gave him a piercing glare. It was a warning to tell him to shut up. Jongin almost mentioned that person and he just realized it. He cleared his throat to drop the issue. Sehun might kill him if he dares to talk about it again.

The atmosphere became awkward after that and Sehun was thankful for it because he won’t have to deal with Jongin’s chatter for the rest of the period.
