Chapter 11

With and Without Oh Sehun

I sat still in my seat while staring dejectedly in front of me with my eyes wide open, wondering what the heck I did to deserve this. Out of all people, Kyungsoo had to choose me as the one to take this position that nobody else wanted? That he himself didn't want? What was I now? Some type of peasant that people can pass on their unwanted jobs to?

I mean yes, I know it was my fault for breaking the rules in the first place and I had to take on this job in replace of detention, but still, why do I have a feeling that he would have still threaten me in some other way to take on this job? In the midst of this, I still have a hard time understanding why Kyungsoo thought I was a "good suit" for Satan. What exactly do Satan and I have in common that makes us a "good suit"? Was this just some excuse Kyungsoo threw in at the last minute to make myself feel better about tutoring Satan? 

But in all honestly, I would have taken this more lightly and wouldn't be complaining as much right now if the situation from this morning didn't occur. But since it did and I couldn't go back in time to stop it, I was now sitting alone in a room with someone who got his booty tickled this morning that almost resulted in a serious clash, and I was now praying for dear life that Satan decides to spare me today. But you know what, heck! Since I'm already here and have no choice then I might as well make my time worth it.

I turned my head to look at the other side of the room where this little wicked beast was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed while resting his dirty feet on the desk. But before I could let my enthusiasm continue any further, I realized that I had hit a brick wall that would be impossible to break down. Sure I was determined to make use of this time that I could instead be using to rest at home in my bed, but was he willing to do the same? 

You know what Han Areum? It's time to not be a coward anymore and instead stand up for yourself and take control here. I courageously stood up from my seat as if I was some soldier being called to the battlefield, and (carefully) made my way towards the beast who was still calmly resting in his seat. But instead of knocking waking him up, I took a second to stare at him and think to myself if I really wanted to do this. Yeah, I think I preferred to be a coward instead. 

Just then, it was as if the beast took a lunge at my heart when his deadly eyes opened and was now directed at me. "What are you doing?"

I nervously gulped before tightening my fist and filling myself with sudden courage that I lost just seconds ago. "Let's get started."

He let out a scoff. "What?"

"What do you mean what? Let's get started." That's right Han Areum! Show him who's boss this time! 

The beast uncrossed his feet laying on the desk before bringing it down and turning to look at me. And before I knew it, the determination and courage was gone... Again. "Now that I think about it, weren't you the one who bumped into me this morning and then had your boyfriends stand up for you as if it was my fault?"

Sh*t. But wait, boyfriends?

Before I could think any further about his sudden mentioning of "boyfriends" and protest back, I was caught off guard and began to frantically back up when I saw him stand up from his seat and walk towards me. My heart was now pounding fast and I began to desperately look for an escape route. Damn it Han Areum. Was it that hard to keep your mouth shut? But wait, what was I saying? Wasn't my brain the one encouraging me to stand up for myself?! Damn it. You lived a good life Han Areum-

My head flinched away from his arm that was suddenly brought up to point at something behind me which I'm assuming was my seat. "I'll be nice this one time and let it go," he said with a stern face. "Just go back to your seat and wait until it's time for us to leave." And with me finally learning a valuable lesson, I immediately stormed back to my seat and sat down with this kind offer from Satan. 

For the rest of the "tutoring session", I did as he said and remained in my seat while keeping to myself despite how bored out of my mind I was. Meanwhile, he continued his usual position and took this as an opportunity to rest and let time pass by. I did notice however that he flinched and sat up straight whenever he heard someone passing by which turned out to be some irrelevant student and not Kyungsoo or some teacher. As hard as I tried to maintain a straight face and mind my own business, I couldn't help but let out a small snort that almost costed me my life. Thankfully, he just rolled his eyes before putting himself at ease again. 

When the best time of the day came and I was finally released from hell, I wasted no time to storm out of the room before the beast could even realize that time was up and we could leave. I headed straight towards the bus stop with no breaks in between for the restroom despite how bad my bladder was ready to explode. However, I managed to pull myself through by persuading myself it was worth it rather than raising the possibility that I might run into the beast or anyone else that I wanted to avoid.

A heave of relief and joy overfilled me the moment I took a seat on the bus and thought to myself that the long and stressful day was finally over... Until I realized how much of a moron I was when I saw Satan storm onto the bus seconds before it could leave, and was now sitting a few seats behind me.

Now here I was with my shoulders hanging down like an imbecile while my bladder was begging for mercy because I forgot that there was no point of trying to avoid the beast when he takes the same bus home like me. Come on Han Areum! Did you forget who was the one that yanked your earphones out last time?! However, I decided to be thankful since it could have been worst. The beast was keeping to himself by drowning his ears with music that made me think if he was the deaf one, and my other set of problems didn't take the bus this time. I guess they just got out of practice early last time.

With my shoulder able to relax now as well as my mind, I kept myself busy throughout the ride home by thinking about the events that happened today such as meeting Sehun in front of the girl's restroom, the terrifying confrontation between Yoongi and Chanyeol, the awkward and uncomfortable lunch, almost having a heart attack by coming across Satan in my only last resort place to hangout at, and spending a terrifying hour and a half with him after school.

However, I would be lying if I said that my heart didn't ache everytime I was reminded of the image of Sehun waiting for his girlfriend before grasping onto her hands tightly and walking away. As much as the emotions of hatred and betrayal was starting to resurface in me, I couldn't help but wipe a tear and try to act as if something was in my eye.

Tomorrow would mark the 3rd month since that very day in front of the Han River where he looked me in the eyes with no emotions and said with a calm voice that it was time to break up because there was nothing left in him. And with everything that's happened so far, it was clear that he meant it. Meanwhile, here I was with everything still in me, and I don't think it will be going away anytime soon.
