CHAPTER 26: INJURED HANDS.

JISUK'S POV:

.

.

.

It stopped snowing.

Despite the biting cold and harsh winds that blew over the tops of buildings and where I stood among one of them, the sun had shone brightly past the clouds, revealing pale sunlight and a grayish blue sky.

The warmth thereof was comforting in a way; the semblance it offered in repentance for the ruthless chill.

The gentle, yet hesitant warmth it added to my nearly frozen face was enough to make it feel like it was melting.

In response to the thought, I hugged my coat tighter in slothful effort to preserve my warmth.

I almost didn't bring my coat today; I thought that I would just go in and out of school, being dropped off and picked up by Ihyuk, but I changed my mind last minute and ran away again.

The rooftop on one of the nearby, tall buildings is the place I usually like to go to get away from everything and watch life below pass by.

Though it might sound that way, it's not that I'm necessarily depressed, no. I just don't feel like going home.

Ihyuk and Jiyoung will probably get on my back about it later but that doesn't matter to me right now.

The sky is blue again, the sun is shining, and all is peaceful and quiet from where I stood.

Have I become more sentimental lately?

Hmm...

No, that's not it.

As far as I remember, I've been like this ever since mom and dad passed away.

Silence has become a joy, and having solitude gives solace. Peace of mind.

Today was a strange day. I had been beating around the bush for a while, denying the way I felt and saying that I was fine, but yet here I was, seeking solitude.

There was something dull in the back of my mind and in my chest. Was it an ache? A pulsating throb?

Probably both in a way, but more... mental.

The prize question is what is this from? What was I feeling so... achy over?

The thought made me scoff,

Well, physically, that would be my arms and legs. Especially my back.

Jiyoung had challenged— no... more like forced me to battle her earlier knowing that I would lose and went hard on me as punishment for fighting that girl, Jiwoo Seo.

Speaking of Jiwoo Seo...

I still didn't know what I thought of her. She seemed like a nice kid, but the thing with nice kids is that they're really rotten inside.

That's why I tried to provoke her during our battle. Talk about her powers, give her condescending looks and show her that I was unquestionably the better one.

I wanted to crack that little facade, that 'nice kid' act and reveal just how rotten she really was.

But the thing is, she never cracked.
