the meeting

Erstwhile

"Whoa" "Wow" "What" I was showered with such expression that I no longer have the thoughts of answering it. Saved by the bell, Mrs Mei came for physics.

"Hey," I felt a nudge by my side. It was Yujin. "What?" "Isn't he Lu's bestfriend?" Lu as in Luhan?  "Oh." "Don't make that uninterested tone. I knew you were surprised for even a milisecond." She stated. I closed my eyes and let my memory lead me back to the realm of happiness.

She was once very happy. She was joy, she was grace, she was sunshine all by herself. The only daughter of her family, she became the cherub of her family. Her life was perfectly planned. To grow up in a rich family, as beautiful and smart girl, to get into an excellent school, to become someone who makes a good pay, and to get married early. It was perfect. 

But then it turned out, her father's company had flunked out and her mother became the bearer for the family of seven, she was slightly plump and had a crooked smile, a little frizzy hair and was clueless of which one of the alkaline solution had the highest level of pH number. Her friend is forgetting her and she cannot look at the reflection in the mirror. 

She can't accept herself.

Luhan, that beautiful doe-eyed boy with perfect attitude and perfect image. She could only imagine to talk to him, moreover to be his friend. He was the school's football captain, she was the professional bathroom singer. He was like a little spark of fireworks that gave spark to her life, day by day.

But Luhan died.

And everything led Hanae to the dark bottomless abyss. 

"I'm alright, I guess. Thanks." I replied after leaving Yujin hanging for a moment. "Well then, I'm going for a recess." She left her seat feeling puzzled. I gave her nod.

I was going to take my meal from the back of my bag when I realised I was not alone in this class. That new boy was having a recess in the class as well? Awkwaaaaard.

"Hey! Jumping girl! " She heard that voice echoed. She had several choices; to reply him or to ignore him. She chose the latter. Boi, you don't call someone who was about to jump off the building jumper, rood.

"Hey," The empty space beside her made a noises when he pulled the chair out for him. "I'm Sehun, Oh Se Hun. And you are?" She side eyed him "Hooman," "Ha, funny one." "Wasn't even trying to." "Alright, alright grumpy Hanae. I was just trying to be nice and wondering about your state now. You okay, bro?" He asked in his straight voice that sounded so honest and pure. "11/10 I'm grand. Thanks for that short trip before tho." I said. His lips curved into a slight smile. "What was my name again?" "Sehun?" "Oh yes! Congratulations on announcing my name!" He shook my hand before leaving

Everyone is so weird.
