“Sehun-ah, where are you?” Jessica asks the boy on the other line. She has been waiting for him for almost an hour now.

“Just wake up. Why?” He asks whilst rubbing his eyes, barely getting up from his messy bed. 

“What?” She uncounsciously raises her voice. She can hear his sleepy voice clearly, she just can’t believe what she heard.

“What is it? Why are you shouting like that? My ear hurts.” He asks her sleepily, feeling a bit bothered by her. He always has this bad mood in the morning and usually avoiding any kinds of conversation with anyone. And this noona of him isn't an exception.

“N-nothing. Forget it.” She hangs up immediately.

She lowers her head and breaking down in tears. Ignoring the weird stares from passerby and just lifelessly sitting on the bench at the park. The place they had promised to meet.

That girl doesn’t say anything more. Her face is bright red because of embarrassment. She tries to hold back her tears but a minute later she starts sobbing in front of him.

He saw this coming.

But this is not the first time he sees something like this. He can’t even count how many times it happened. At first, he feels bad, but is it his fault? He had never asked these girls to confess to him. He has no responsibility to feel bad over something they did themselves.

Wordlessly, he walks away from there, leaving the girl in despair.

He then walks to his next class without caring about his surrounding, he is not even giving a glance at people who staring at him adoringly. Boys or girls, one by one they confessed to him, trying their luck, but the same amount got rejected. He doesn’t need them or anyone. He only has one thing in his head. He has to be a great lawyer, just like his late Father. He doesn’t want to disappoint her Mom, the only family he has in this world who has great exp
