I was probably staring far too long, because his expression became arrogant. “Honey, I know you miss me. But you know you’re free to hug me anytime.” He added a cheeky wink at the end, making me shiver in disdain. I scrunched up my nose that says ‘as if’, but he only laughed in my face and started walking towards me, enough to make me cower back because of the close proximity. We were chest to chest, well chest to face thanks to my wonderful height. I craned my head up and saw him looking at me with an expression that was foreign to him. “I missed you honey,” he whispered this to me and brought his hand up to cup my face. My face heated up, not used to his open affection. But narrowed my eyes on him instead

“I still hate you, you know.” My voice was low, letting him know that it I wasn’t in the mood to play. But only to have him hold my face firmly. He released a sigh and look at me in the eye.

“I’m sorry. I admit, I went too far. But that’s because I’m protecting you, can you even imagine yourself with that… that guy?” I brushed his hand off my face and backed away for a safe distance.

“If protecting me means humiliating me and degrading me then I guess I’d rather move to a different country than be here with you” His body grew tense, he gritted his teeth

“Don’t say that too lightly. I said I was sorry”  

I pushed right pass him, without looking back I said. “Yeah, well after the summer ends. I’m moving back to my dad’s” Can’t relate? Let me rewind that for you.

I was in year 9, I was new in town. My mom and dad made an arrangement that I get to stay with each parent for 3 years, I understand why they divorced no one cheated, no one lied. They just fall out of love, they never argued, they were always on good terms. They were more like friends rather than husband and wife. They decided to separate when I was in 5^th grade, at first it was hard, but as I grew up I understood their situation. My mom was close with the Oh’s and decided to introduce me to them, that’s where I met Shan the eldest son. After a few months I became close to the Oh siblings, they were 6 in all, but Shan was a bit distant he was always absent when I’m with them. Months passed by, and I was known as the girl who hogged the ‘boys’ no one wanted to be friends with me. Some did, but eventually they will confess that they only wanted to be close to the siblings. In year 10, around Valentine’s Day, everyone was happy. Even the nerds and outcasts have dates. No one asked me, the siblings didn’t ask me because there was a rule that they can’t ask anyone, only their girlfriends. I was never bothered about not having a date, but I was in a phase where I thought of myself as unattractive to the opposite . Not one guy in school even gave me a glance. It was summer when I caught Sehun threatening a student, and I did what most people could have done. I eavesdropped. But I heard him, saying that he should stay away from him. I was touched that he was somehow protecting me. But I was mad because he was the one who made me feel unwanted. I confronted him that day and he told me that he only wanted to protect me from them. It became a weekly thing seeing him threatening a person because of me. I was getting tired of not having someone other than the siblings

We had an argument about his protectiveness, to the point that he humiliated me in front of the student body so that no one can get close to me to hurt me. How hypocrite of him to do that, since he was the one that was hurting me. The last straw is when I was in my last year in school. A boy was confident and had the courage enough to ask me in school, I was happy that someone was willing to go through Sehun just to ask me on a date. But the happiness that I felt was only felt short when Sehun heard that I went out that night, and crashed our date. He grabbed the boy and left, I was just sitting there in shock. Moments later the boy came back, I was relieved because I thought he left me, but only to have him glaring at me telling me that I was a much of a to agree going on a date with him when I have a boyfriend. The next day, rumors started flying that I was a two timer. The student became more and more distant to me, the sibling were there for me, but that was the time where they left for vacation, leaving me behind to deal with all of the students who was bad mouthing me. I was mentally supporting myself to bear with it, because we only have a month left of school. I never bothered telling my mom this because I know the closeness of her and Mrs. Oh will change

I was mad, frustrated, heartbroken and betrayed. I was never the person who held grudges, I easily forgive people, but what he did to me was too far to be easily forgiven. And seeing him, in front of me looking as if he didn’t do something that can practically ruin a person’s life made me angry. Not only he is acting insensitive about the situation but he was being ignorant about what I’m feeling too.
