08. Don't Stop Can't Stop

 

 His playful attitude. His grey shining hair. His sharp eyes that could look straight through your bones. His tall, and slender body. Plus the way he looked at me—like I was a precious jewelry that he has to guard for his entire life. Why in the world would I be thinking about Kris? But the other day, he was so flattering. I couldn't help but to remember the way he smiled, and kept on asking me to do things he wanted me to. That Kris is intoxicating.

 

Also, I met Se Hun at the cafe when I was talking with Kris. What a lucky day, I guess fortune finally decided to take my side. But was it only me, or there was a slight change from Kris' behavior? He seemed cold towards Se Hun. When I was talking with Se Hun, I stole a glance or two from Kris' expression. Recalling the way Kris' narrowed his eyes at every single word Se Hun said. Showed me that he wasn't pleased by Se Hun's unplanned presence. What's more confusing was the way he pulled me harshly out of the cafe. How can he be so cold and nonchalant to Se Hun when he's just so playful and talk-active towards me?

Oppa, what are you doing there in Tao's place?

________________________

 

The school bell rang at the exact second I pressed the send button. It was recess and I had chemistry class before this. Maybe my body was in the class at the time. But I can guarantee you that my mind and soul were somewhere else. My memories flew back to the other day. When me and Se Hun were walking down the corridor. Hmm... Maybe you're thinking that I must have enjoyed it. But the fact is; I didn't. Because it felt more like I was heading my way to hell

. ---

My hand was tucked in his arm. With my head and eyes locked down, I hid behind his proportional body. I could still feel the stares they gave me... They were like arrows, shooting me from every angle that was possible. Excruciating me without mercy.

Ugh... How I wished the time will just stop and God will let me punch their faces, one by one. And see their blood flowing out from their noses, dripping down to the floor. Stepping on it, as I walk happily side by side with Se Hun. That would be the happiest day in my entire school life.

 Our footsteps echoed throughout the hallway, mixed with the muffled sound of students whispering to each other. They were curious about the bond between me and Se Hun. I myself had no idea where the heck this guy was taking me to. I thought he was kidnapping me... Not to mention that he didn’t say a single word when he barged inside my class and dragged me out. I was reluctant at first, but when I realized that he looked angry, I just wished that he wasn't going to kill me—for real—and prayed that even if he was, he will bury my body not far from his house. Oh, you know why...

He pulled me with him and took me outside the building. He told me to sit down under his favorite tree in the whole school. Yes, he has a favorite tree, and no, he's not a monkey. Since the first year of senior high, I often see him sitting down by the tree. Leaning against the trunk with his eyes closed. And seldom will you find him reading a book with his ears plugged by earphones.

 He's one of the school's eye candies, almost all the time; he's probably the center of the school's attention. But he also likes being alone on his own. You know, I thought he was a loner when I first saw him, but when I watched him playing football with his friends, I realized that I was wrong. He went from being this melancholic studious boy to this competitive and aggressive midfielder. That was almost unbelievable! And that’s also one of the reasons why I have been keeping special feelings for him. Teehee.

 The sun shone so brightly that I had to use my palm to cover my eyes. I was sitting down by the tree while Se Hun was standing in front of me. I looked up to him, trying my best not to be blinded by the sunshine. His expression was unpredictable. Worried? Angry? Or maybe even... pissed? I had no idea.

“Now how do I say this?” He ruffled his hair in annoyance.

 “Say what, Se Hun?” I hugged my knees shyly and gave him a clueless smile.

 He looked at me with anger in his eyes. “Do you really want to know?”

 Isn’t that the reason you suddenly dragged me out? To tell me about something you really wanted to say? Se Hun-ah, you are confusing me...

I stuttered, “P-perhaps?”

He looked around and frowned. “You better do!” Se Hun then sat down beside me.

 I could hear his breathing. It was smooth and steady. There were little groans between them, and the groans made him sound like an expensive, roaring car. Maybe he was just a little bit too close, so my heart started pounding incredibly fast. Gosh, it would be embarrassing, if somehow he overhear my shameless heartbeat. I tighten my hug and pulled my knees up, I pressed them tightly against my chest. Uh.. I guessed that should hide the beats.

 “My brain just wouldn’t let me forget this one. So now I will tell you. I hope after this, the thoughts will stop haunting me in my dreams. Now listen—“ He lowered his head, clenching his palm as he quickly turned to me.

 “It’s not that I am pre-judging you or something. It’s just that I couldn’t help but to think about what you will be doing with the gu—Kris, in your house. It’s not that I am jealous or envious with him. No. It’s just that I am worried about you two. And now... Sleeping doesn’t help anymore. You, and him, appeared several times in my dreams. I don’t like that. And I hated what both of you were doing in my dreams.” 

 

He cringed in disgust.

No, don’t tell me... Se Hun!

Shriveling down, I swallowed my shame and replied, “Se Hun-ah... You know I am not that kind of girl to begin with and—“

 “I know. And that bugs me even more! You are not that type of girl, and most of the times, I will certainly believe you with that. But this time... I don’t know why I just can’t believe you! Tell me how am I supposed to not be distressed about this? Ha Neul-ah... I don’t know when I started caring about your problems. And I am even more confused by how much I care about them now. Why is this happening to me? I don’t know... Can you give me the answer? Please. It’s driving me insane.” He shook his head and changed his direction.

Se Hun-ah... As much as I wanted to, I am more clueless about the answer to your question than you. My mind never works properly when I’m around you. You're like this black hole that will down everything it reaches, and trap them inside an endless, dark, puzzling cave. You are a poison, an addicting one to be exact.

“I don’t know... But all I know is that you have to trust me.”

“Then, make me.”

“How?”

 

“Spend more time with me. Tell me your stories. Share your secrets. Go out with me. Bring me to your house. I don't care! Just do anything that could bring us closer together. With that, I think I can trust you.”

Mother... Did he just say 'closer'? Ooh, wow. That felt like the sweetest dream ever! I wasn’t blushing because I was too over-whelmed with happiness. I was aching to squeak but I had to bite my tongue that time. 

“Will you?” He asked before turning around to look at me. 

 

His eyes were... killing.

 May God bless the tree. This is a historical place for my love journey! I will engrave my name and Se Hun's on this tree later on.

“My pleasure.” I gave him the most genuine smile I have ever given to anybody. I won’t let him down. And I promised myself that I am going to make him trust me. No matter what happens!

He flashed a smile and smirked at me. Uhh...  

“Ya, jinjja? Why are couples these days so dramatic?! I want to have a girlfriend too you know...”

I turned around and found the one-and-only Alien-Yeol. This is his specialty, popping out of nowhere and ruining others' day by interrupting their privacy! He's not an 'alien' for no reason alright...

“Chan Yeol-ah, what are you doing here?” I stood up and fixed my uniform. What a great timing, Chan Yeol-sshi.

“There was this group of students bragging about a couple fighting in the hallway. So I decided to check it out, and surprisingly... I saw the two of you across the hallway. Se Hun looked so scary! And I never thought that the couple they were talking about was you! Kim Ha Neul and Oh Se Hun? The Awkward and The Beast? No way!!”

He leaned closer to me and Se Hun. Tapping his fingers on his chin, he examined our faces carefully one by one. Seriously, Chan Yeol is just so weird...

“Uh.. Nothing here... Nothing there too. So... Wait.... What? No kisses?! You , Se Hun-ah!” He stuck his tongue out to Se Hun.

Okay. Seriously, this guy's annoying level is so over the top. And to add the fact that he is Dali's twin brother, I should have expected him being such a pain in the !

“Yah! Go away!” I hit him with my fist repeatedly, but he's muscular arms just wouldn't let me hit him in the right place! Instead of retreating, he laughed at me. “Ahaha! No! Stop! That tickles Ha Neul!”

 “What? Tickles?” I heard Se Hun giggling next to me.

Oh cheese, don't tell me he's not even bothered by Chan Yeol's stupidity interrupting us!

“That's enough Chan Yeol.” Se Hun grabbed my shoulders and pulled me away, gently. He smiled to me. Ten minutes ago he was so angry and his expressions freaked the hell out of me. But this time, he was smiling. A contrary of how he was before Chan Yeol showed up. His smile was sincere, I could feel the friendliness in his eyes, “Shall we go home?”

Chan Yeol shrieked in perfect English, it was clear enough to be heard by people passing by the schoolyard, “Take me home, Baby~!” And it was followed by a made up wolf's howl.

 Dali-ah, if I were your mother... I'd put the twins back inside my womb. And I'd regret myself for being a mother of two, shameless, annoying, one-of-a-kind children.

---

“Aren't you going to eat, Ha Neul?”

“Yes. But I have to go to the restroom. You can go first.” I waved my hands at Dali and stumbled my way to the school's restroom. I rushed inside one of the toilet cubicles and heaved.

Hmm... Finally.

I fixed my skirt and was about to come out from the cubicle. But then I stopped when I heard voices. Yes, voices of girls, no other than gossiping!

 I heard Girl Number One squeaking before saying this, “Hey, did you hear that Se Hun is dating Kim Ha Neul?”

Rumors are spreading! Oh my... Don't tell me it's because that hallway dragging scene? Se Hun-ah, wae? Wae?! We are not dating, right?

 “That filthy rich Ha Neul from class 3-A?” Hey! Girl Number Two! Mind your words...

“Yes, that girl! Okay... I know, her looks are not that bad. But seriously, out of all the girls in this school,why must he choose her?” No, Girl Number Three! He didn't choose me! And we are not dating! Even if I wished so, but we are not!

 “I know! We should totally tell her to back off. He's ours! And we are not going to let her take him away from us just like that!”

God, help.

 I heard the sound of lips popping, I think they were fixing their make ups, and Girl Number Two has just finished her lips. “Mm-hmm. Let's do that after school. She'll regret to even lay a finger on My Se Hun's cheeks.”

 “Our!” All the other Girls corrected her.

And after that there was silence. They were already outside, but I was still in a state of shock. Maybe I was born to be weak. I just let other people in to my life and let them do whatever they want to me. That's how I see it. I'm weak. And now I need someone to encourage me. Eomma, Appa, when will you come home? And 'Daylight' Oppa.. I miss you so much. I just wish at times like this I have someone to lean on. Lu Han, come back, please...

Trying my best not to break down, I walked to the sink and washed my hands. I stared at the mirror for a long time. Trying to recognize the little girl inside the mirror. Ha Neul. You've been through a lot of tougher things, and this one won't take you down. Mark that, this one won't take you down!

 I breathed on the mirror, adjusting my height a little and leaned forward. I drew a smiley face and braced myself for the tough days ahead. Okay! Let's do this!!

I walked out from the restroom and ran to the cafeteria. As soon as I reached the place, I felt like all eyes were on me. I hated being the center of attention. It's like you're the sun and everyone around you are planets, asteroids, satellites, and stars. Spinning around you non-stop and all you do is stand still, doing nothing.

“Ha Neul! Here!” My eyes caught the long delicate hands that were waving back and forth, calling me to walk over there. I ran to the table and saw Dali, Chan Yeol, Se Hun.. A-and.. Kyung Soo Oppa?

“What is he doing here, Dali-ya?”

“He said he wanted to give you chocolates.” Dali made a face and leaned on her lover's arm, “Why are you giving her chocolates instead of me?”

 I sat down next to Chan Yeol, with Se Hun across me, giving me a faint smile. “Hey there.” I nodded simply and started grabbing the food on Chan Yeol's tray. No, I'm too fed up by the girls in the toilet to even do anything that involves 'Se Hun' right now. “YA! That's my food you're eating Ha Neul-ah!” Ssh, shut up.

 I ignored him and stared at Kyung Soo, “How did you get in here, Oppa? The school is not over yet. But you're allowed to get inside? How come?” Dali rolled her eyes and started an argument with Chan Yeol, about how fast a fly could digest its food. Those two are quite a rare species of Homo Sapiens, to be honest.

“I have connections, you know.” Kyung Soo said with his eyebrows raised. He really looked like a ephile when he did that!

“I always knew that you have an affair with the janitor here. I knew it.” I chewed the supposed-to-be-Chan Yeol's pudding calmly. Everyone seemed surprised by my conspiracy.

“Is that true, jagiya?”

 “A-ani! You know I will never cheat on you! Ha Neul, tell her! Tell her that you were joking!” He panicked on his seat while Se Hun and Chan Yeol laughed silently.

I raised my shoulders, “Don't ask me.”

 “We have a lot to discuss later on, Mister D.O!”

When she starts calling Kyung Soo with that name, it means she's starting to take things seriously. This means, Kyung Soo Oppa is in the verge of life and death. “Ha Neul-ah! I came here just to give you this chocolate! Now you're making me go through her abusive interrogation? How mean...”

 I ignored him and turned to Chan Yeol, “Can I eat your cupcakes?” He gave me a 'don't-you-dare-look'. Hmm... Okay, now I'm hungry.

Total bored mode. I rested my head on the table. Ugh, when will this day end?

Suddenly I felt a finger tapping my head softly. I sat up and Se Hun pushed his tray of food onto my direction. “I'm full. You can eat mine.”

 Stop being so sweet, please. “Nah, I'm fine.” I watched the lovers argued. Poor Kyung Soo, Dali is definitely going to win this one. Oh no, he did not just pinch her cheeks. That will make her angrier—

“Ha Neul-ah~”

Sheesh... Don't ever call me using that kind of tone, Se Hun! I'm trying hard not to like you. And you're not making it any easier.

 “Yes?”

 “You should eat. Here, if you want, I can feed you. Just eat, I don't like you being too skinny...”

Since when did he start caring about me and my weight?

 “No, thanks.” I smiled coyly and played with Chan Yeol's long hair. He didn't mind, because I always do that every time he’s sitting beside me. I tugged his hair in between his ear and shrugged. I glanced at Se Hun and I realized he was giving me this ‘eat-or-else’ look. Oh God, why?

Ever since the talk we had down by the tree, he started hanging around with me. As he said, 'anything that could bring us closer to each other'. Yup, he's doing one of the 'anything' now.

“Eat. Please. Eat.” I wasn’t sure if he was pleading or remarking his previous words... But, oh hell, I can’t protest his order.

 I closed my eyes and snatched the box of chocolate away from Kyung Soo's hands. I ended up eating the chocolates inside and sharing them with the people in my table. Dali forgot about Kyung Soo’s issue and she ate the chocolate, as well as Chan Yeol and Se Hun. Se Hun smiled at me and I shook my head, pushing the thoughts of his perfect features away from my brain. “Thank You, Ha Neul.”

“You are welcome.” I whispered while looking down. Huh, there is no way that he will ever be yours, Ha Neul. You just have to face the reality.

“Ha Neul-ah, we have math class after this, am I right?” Chan Yeol smirked at me. “Yeah, and what does math has to do with your smirk?” You know, despite his innocent figure, Chan Yeol is someone who is capable in doing anything he wants, whenever he wants it.

“You don’t like math, right? So... How do you say if we just skip the class and let’s go kill our times at my friend’s house?” This boy, he must be out of his mind.  “No thanks. I would love to keep the first rank in the class for myself.” I smiled at him. Dali seemed startled by Chan Yeol’s invitation, “Even if you ask her a thousand times, she won’t follow your dark path, you moron.”

Well, I wouldn’t say she was wrong but she wasn’t fully correct either. Kyung Soo laughed before planting a kiss on Dali’s cheeks, “I’ll come by  to pick you up later, okay? Bye bye.” He left us without looking back.

Sometimes I wonder how it feels like to have a boyfriend who cares so much...  The word ‘boyfriend’ is just so gloomy if it was to be spoken by me. I have a reason for that, yes, I do. And I won’t even bother myself to remember what the reason is. It’s just some dark memories from my past. Maybe someday I will tell you, but certainly, not now.

“Let’s go Ha Neul!” Dali offered her hand, and I grabbed it. She pulled me up and then we headed to our lockers. Followed by Se Hun and Chan Yeol behind us. We separated in the hallway; me and Chan Yeol entered the math class, while Se Hun and Dali walked away to English class.

I sat down in my usual table with Chan Yeol beside me. I was going to tell him to shut his mouth when the teacher start explaining, but he cut me off, “I heard there is a guy staying in your house...”

“Who told you that?” I had a mini heart-attack and accidentally hit his shoulder with mine.

“Ouch, easy there little girl... Dali told me yesterday. I didn’t believe it, but seeing your reaction earlier, now I do. So... Who’s the lucky guy?”

“Spread the news and you’ll be dead before prom night—“

I didn’t finish the sentence because I felt a vibration from my shirt pocket. I took out my cell phone and smiled. The text was from Kris;

------------- New Message -----------

From: Krisly Bear

At 01:07:45 PM

He’s teaching me how to drive a car now.

Earlier today he forced me to get some piercings...

Now I have some on my ears. It hurts a little, but I’m okay.

Kris will look hotter than Se Hun!!

 Hey, mind to wait for me at your school?

I will come and pick you up.

------------------REPLY?------------------

 

Poor guy being tortured by a cosmopolitan man. Ahaha, I replied to him with a simple ‘Okay’, and quickly put my cell phone back inside my pocket. “Kris? So his name is Kris? That’s not a Korean name!” Chan Yeol blurted out, making the whole class turned their heads to the source. ‘Oops, sorry.. .’ He mouthed.

I sighed and wished for the class to end very soon. I’ve had enough with the girls in the restroom. And I’m grateful enough to be able to tolerate math in such situation. But Park Chan Yeol? This annoying machine just wouldn’t stop beeping! If he uses battery, I swear I’d remove the batteries out and let him be retarded speaking to himself. Just this time, bring peace to my life, God.

“WHAA!! A gecko!!” Chan Yeol screamed on top of his lungs, soon followed by the whole class screaming with fear. He hugged my arms tightly, using me as a shield to protect him from the innocent little creature. I looked away to the window.  Can this day be any worse?

***

And damn... the day got worse. “Hey, stop right there! We have something to ask you.”

The girls in the restroom, curse them. “What?” I turned around, ready to be flooded with intimidations, questions, threats, or whatever they were going to do to me.

I knew it, they planned this. There were eight of them, all with the same shorter skirts and y attitude. “I heard that you’re close with Se Hun...” The one with black jet hair approached me. “And..?” I stepped back when the rest of them formed a circle around me. Now I’m doomed.

“And now I’m going to clarify some rumors about you two.” She played with my hair a little. my fringe slowly as she walked around me. I gulped, “What rumors?”

The other girl with blonde, wavy, long-hair stepped forward, “You, dating him.” Her face wasn’t as friendly as the one with black hair. She held my chin and looked straight to my eyes, “Is that true?”

Her cold stare got me frozen. “N-no, that’s a lie.” I stuttered with my words. Oh gosh, don’t tell me what happened in elementary school will happen again in high-school.

“Liar.” She grinned as she pulled my hair, hard. The other girls laughed happily despite the groans I made. “Stop that!” I pushed her away, but she held onto my hair. The pain was stinging my head.

“You better leave him alone, or I will make you regret to even touch his skin.” Whatever, I don’t care. “He’s the one chasing me, you know.” I was about to leave them but a girl pulled me back. She shoved my shoulders, making me fall on my back. “Listen here, pretty girl. Don’t make us ruin that cute face of yours, okay? Let’s just make it clear; stay away from Se Hun or else—“

“Or what?” I looked at them one by one. I won’t let them beat me up, no. “You little brat!” One of them raised her hand, ready to slap me right on my cheeks. But then I saw her body being pushed backward by an invisible force, she fell down in front of me. I felt a tingly feeling on my neck as the wind blew, leaving the now-clueless girls eerie.

“What just happened?” The one who fell down asked me. I laughed out loud, “You should have seen your face!”

I stood up and fixed my uniform as I glared at them. “You’re not free to go, yet.” The red-haired one grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me closer to her. I tried kicking her knees but failed in disdain. Does liking an eye-candy requires to have you being intimidated by es?

“Let me go!” I pushed her away but she pulled me even harder. “Shut up.” I felt her hand moving down to my tummy as she grabbed it hard and threw me to the ground. Before I could even hit the ground, I felt a warm feeling of something, grabbing my back and preventing it from touching the ground. It was almost like I was floating. But I swore to God, I felt like there was someone guarding me from behind.

“Well well, a wizard eh?”

I looked up and saw a familiar figure—with white beautiful wings—standing proud and tall, “Stay away from her, idiots.” He murmured before flying up high, leaving me amazed by how he changed a lot after all these years...

“Ha Neul-ah! Are you okay?”

The girls stepped back and Kris walked in between them. “What did you do to her?!” I heard him shouting, ooh! Another side of The Calm Kris. “They didn’t do anything. Now, help me out won’t you?” I pulled his hand and stood up. The girls’ mouth fell opened and I walked away with Kris behind me. Stupid girls are stupid.

“I’m sorry that I’m late.” He walked faster and opened the door of the car for me.

“You don’t have to apologize, let’s just go home.”

He nodded and he quickly got inside and started the engine. “How was your day?” He asked while looking back to make sure there was nothing on the way.

I rested my head on the car’s window, “It was okay.”

“Nahh, you’re lying.” The car started moving out from the school. Yes, finally, I’m going home.

“I’m not in the mood of talking right now.”

He snorted, “I was just being nice... How cruel...”

I sighed and looked out on the window. The hustle and bustle of the city is just mind-wrecking. Memories from the previous event flashed before my eyes. No, I’m not talking about the part when they harassed me. No.

I was remembering the part when I saw him...

His beautiful wings...

And the part when I actually heard his voicefor the first time after he left me.

How much I missed you....
