Confrontation
Entangled by Love

''Wow! I'm so happy you showed me around the school and campus, I really appreciate it!'', Mina chirps and gives me a quick hug. I was astonished, ''Y...you're welcome,'' I stutter.
''Hey, do you want to go grab some coffee with me?'', Mina asks. I hesitate for a while but manage to say; ''I'm afraid I have to take a rain check on that.'' Mina becomes a bit devastated. ''Why not?'', Mina asks on her crystal white bracelet.
''I have to finish writing my assignment that's due in 2 hours,'' I lie. I hate lying, especially to someone I really like.
''Oh fine, well, see you around!'', she says. We wave each other goodbye and now I'm on my way to find Seung-hyun.
I find him in his usual place where he hangs around; our classroom. Seung-hyun is deeply into his book and doesn't take notice of me until I let out a greeting. ''Hey Seung-hyun!,'' I say. There's a long silence until Seung-hyun takes his eyes off the book; ''Hey,'' he says bluntly. A moment of silence. ''I was hoping to find you here,'' I admit. ''Why?'' he asks nonchalantly.
''I want to know what happened to you,'' I say composedly. By hearing that, Seung-hyun gets up from his desk and leaves. I quickly grab his arm making him stop abruptly.
''Let me go,'' he says warningly.
''Not until you tell me what happened,'' I say. I notice Seung-hyun is starting to tense.
''Ask yourself, you did it,'' he says heatedly and within a flash of a second, he hits my nerve. I scream in agony and let him go from my grasp. I crumple on the floor gasping of pain. When I look up, Seung-hyun's gone.
