Chapter 44: Vexed
Love Literally
"Aishh where can you be, Hyo ri-ah Hyo ri -ah.." Kourin paced around the school entrance.
Just then, Kourin saw Hana waiting at the canteen. Nowadays, they didn't really meet up in the morning, so Kourin thought it wierd to see Hana here, especially earlier than her. "Yah, you came early. "Kourin stated the obvious.
"Um.. yeah, i.. woke early."
Kourin looked at her watch. It was almost time for lessons."Let's go up together."
"Um.. i'm waiting for someone.."Hana said awkwardly.
Who could she be waiting for? Kourin smiled secretly. AWW. Did she have someone she likes?? Trust her not to tell me!
"Hmm, alright, bye~"Kourin turned to go, but hid behind a pillar. "Oh, i'm so going to see who the person is! Hehehheh~"
"Um.. you know i can see you, right..?" Kourin looked up. Was she talking to me? She to herself, and Hana nodded. Oops. Did she see it??
Just then, she got a call. It was from an unknown number, but she recognised it almost immediately. The same number had spam called her for the past few days, but she had ignored it. She didn't feel like talking to the mother that abandoned her years ago now. She ignored it once again.
And then she saw Hyo ri scurrying up to class. "Hyo ri! Where have you been?? We haven't seen you except during class!"
Hearing that, she fastened her pace, but Kourin was faster. "I...know. Did you really... kiss another guy?"
Hyo ri shrugged Kourin's hand off. "Huh. I guess he only told you his side of the story. He didn't tell you he was gay, did he?!"
"W-what? No way. No way!"
"Apparently, yes way. You want to see the video of him kissing Kai?"
"V-video? Wait, what? Th-they're gay?!" Then she remembered Kai talking about his first crush. She realized he hadn't said it was a 'she', it was possible.. OH MAI FGAWD.
But then.. wouldn't it also mean Luhan wasn't gay then. So Kai was gay, Luhan wasn't? Eureka! She turned to Hyo ri, but she had already dissappeared. "Aissh, really... why are things so complicated now??"
She was about to head back up to class and find Hyo ri, but she saw Hana talking to a guy-- and it was Kai. Did she like him??
"Kai. Do you still have feelings for Kourin? It's been about a week and you still seem to space out alot." Kourin heard Hana say.
"I'm.. fine. Hana.. i told you i really appreciate your concern, but i really don't feel like talking now. "
"Yah," Hana's voice was stern but wavery. "Can't you tell?? Why isn't anyone else as concerned as me, can't you see why Hyo Ri or Luhan isn't that concerned?"
"How would i know?" Kai said irritatedly.
Hana bit her lip. "I.. know this isn't the time to say this.. but.. I like you, Kai. I liked you since the first time i met you, but Kourin got you first. I thought it was over for me then, and i didn't want to end up in a fight with my best friend, so i just tried to push aside my feelings for you. I know i shouldn't be feeling this, but when i found out Kourin didn't have feelings for you.. inside.. i felt happy. I thought i would have a chance again. I didn't know why.. but i felt angry that she was hiding it from you, and i didn't like it that you both were so close when she didn't have feelings for you. Now.. you've finally broke up. But.. It seems like you don't have any feelings for me. But Kourin doesn't have feelings for you back. Stupid, isn't it?" Hana gave a bitter laugh, before leaving, purposely hitting Kai's shoulder on the way.
Hana passed by Kourin and they both looked at each other for a moment before she headed to class.
Kai turned around, only to see Kourin. "Ka
