Part 3

“Hey, did you know ? That Krystal Jung, the one from the Jung family, betrayed her friend, Victoria”

“She’s just too arrogant just because she has lots of money”

“That’s just too much of her”

“She’s such a jerk”

Walking and hearing that kind of lies beside me is just normal for me. But seriously, can’t they say something more… secretly ? They were the one who’s too much.

“Krystal !”

And… Here he comes… Oh Sehun. Again.

“Wait for me !”, he said, like a kid.

He ran towards me, and bumped my shoulder. I gave him my coldest glare, and he stood there, frozen, like a lost little puppy.

“Can’t you be more… Quiet ?”, I asked coldly.

“Why ?”

“You’re making me embarrassed”

“Oh. Really ? I don’t care. By the way, why did all the people avoid you since this morning ?”

Now, now. Why did he ask this kind of thing in this kind of situation ?

“What do you think”, I asked back.

“’Cause… You’re too… Pretty ?”, he said, innocently.

“What’s the connection ?”

“Maybe, you’re pretty aura make their eyes blind”

“Heh. Pretty aura”

“See ? You smiled”

“Huh ?”

“Nothing”

Did I just heard something coming out from his mouth ? Did he just say I smiled ?

“What do you mean I smiled ?”, I asked.

“’Cause your face looked helpless before”, he replied with a smile.

So just now, he tried to make me smile ?

My heart started beating like usual.

*THUMP**THUMP**THUMP*

The beating started to get faster and faster every time I saw him.

This time, I was captivated by him again.

The ice princess’ heart has already started to melt.

Can I believe him ? I’m not sure yet.

“Hey, Krystal !”

Someone suddenly called me again. I know this annoying voice. The one who slapped me yesterday. Victoria.

“Victoria ! Are you okay being friends with her ?! She betrayed you !”

“Yeah ! You shouldn’t be hanging out with her ! She’s just a jerk anyway !”

“She hurts your feelings !”

“Don’t ever be with her again ! Just leave her alone already !”

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Please someone, help me. HELP ME !

“That’s not nice, girls”

I looked the person with that voice. It’s Sehun.

“If you bad-mouth Krystal once again… You’ll taste death”, he said with his serious face.

I can’t believe what he just did. He… Just saved me from the nightmare, or such.

That time, I admit he was no longer childish.

He’s cool.

“Krystal”, he called me, “let’s go”

“Huh ?”

I was still in my imagination the time he called me. So I was totally confused the time he dragged me out of the swarm of girls.

He was totally COOL !!!

I can’t believe it. I just said it out loud inside my head.

“Are you okay ?”, he asked.

“I’m fine”, I replied, still trying to be cool.

“That’s great then”

“Um… By the way… How should I say this… Um… T-Thank you. F-For earlier”

This is the first time I felt really embarrassed in my life.

I just said “thank you”.

But, there was no response from him. It was quite awkward. I pleaded that he would just do something to break this awkwardness.

Suddenly, I felt a warm hand landed on top of my head. It patted my head softly and every hair of mine softly.

“You’re welcome”, he said.

Although it was only for a moment, I can feel his feelings reached me, deep within me. It’s the first time I felt this way.

That time, I can finally trust someone else other than my family.

Happiness, maybe it’s not impossible at all.

But, the two eyes that were watching me from behind with anger can’t stop glaring at me, and danger has started to come.
