Cucumbers

You're Forever In My Eyes

 

 

"What the!" Jio said as he repeatedly pressed the enter button of his computer. He can't seem to access his account through his computer no matter how many times he entered the website. Jio sighed, thinking that it would be such a waste to miss a talk with SleepyHead. SleepyHead became a part of his everyday, since they have been talking with each other for long, but strangely, when Jio asks SleepyHead about his identity, he would try to change the topic. For Jio, SleepyHead is a mysterious person, but it's okay, as long as they're friends.

 

Jio sighed again. He picked the blue cute bag lying in his bed and he grabbed a container of sliced cucumbers that he prepared yesterday and quickly put it on his bag. "I just have to go to school then" ,he thought as he prepared himself to go to the classroom but something snapped out of him.

 

"Is it possible that she's….?" he questioned himself. He ran as fast as the wind as he went to the most deserted place in the campus, carrying a cute bag and a container of cucumbers.

 

LIBRARY

 

"I'm soooo tired! Where is that stupid bag!?" Krystal thought as she sits on her usual spot in that deserted place. Her face was covered with sweat, as she hungrily catches her breath. We have to admit that sweat makes people look dirty and unattractive sometimes but this isn't the case for the cold girl. In fact, her sweat made her look rather appealing. She reached for her handkerchief and quickly wiped her sweat as she thoroughly glanced through the tables just to find something.

 

Krystal snapped the moment she heard the door make a squeaky noise from a far. She quickly hided her handkerchief and sat on a chair resting beside her. She heard slow footsteps and later revealed a man with a glasses, also covered with sweat and secretly breathing heavily. You can tell that the man ran as quickly as he can, shivering in fear as he revealed his not-so-attracting face to the cold girl.

 

"W-Why did y-you call me h-here?" the man said, stuttering. Krystal looked straight into his eyes as she gave him a rather seducing eyesmile as she stood up to get a closer look to the man.

 

"I just wanted to ask you a favor" Krystal said smoothly, slaying the man with her oh so dashing gaze.

 

"A-anything!" the man hopelessly said. The man knew exactly why he's called for and now he's secretly blaming himself for giving in, just like what happened to the previous librarian, who willingly left the fine institute just to avoid the cold girl's effortless charms.

 

"Really?" she said as she let out an evil grin in her face. She came nearer to the man, which made the man step back for a little and let out a cold sweat.

 

"Y-yeah!" the man said, still shivering in fear.

 

"I just want you to do my art project. You know, because you're the best option around. I truly admire your artistic skills. Truly fascinating" the cold girl said while touching the man's shoulder seductively.

 

"Y-yeah! I'll do it a-as fast as p-possible!" the man said, which made the cold girl let out a beautiful grin. Any man would definitely fall for this grin. It's like this girl came from a very beautiful planet…. a planet different from ours. The room was filled with her aromatic scent. Just by smelling her, you can tell she's beautiful. Her cat-like eyes that anyone would die for….. her cute pointy nose that made her more charming….and those unique lips that strangely made her look y. Who wouldn’t fall for this cold girl?

 

"Good. Now, can you leave? I need to…. well, enjoy the isolation" she silently said. The man bowed (even though he's Krystal's senior), which made Krystal laugh very hard. Having a senior bow before her is a candy to her eyes. The man, without further ado, ran as quickly as he can, leaving the cold girl behind. The cold girl went back to her favourite spot, with her missing bag leaving in her mind.

 

"I guess some lunatic got my bag. It's not the first time anyway" she said to herself, reminiscing the previous time she lost her bag. Honestly, if Jio didn’t got her bag, anyone would keep her bag to themselves. They would probably put her bag in an altar,  or put her belongings under their pillow and kiss it every night. Krystal and Sulli is anyone's dream, there's no denying it.

 

"Hey…. Stupid girl, you here? " Krystal heard a familiar voice. She snapped out of surprise.

 

"Who's there!?" she shouted bravely.

 

She heard a couple of footsteps and slowly revealed the man's face. He's has an american feel around him. His face is so beautiful for a man. His innocent face contrasts his well toned body. The sunlight refracting from the window highlights his beautiful stylish hazelnut hair. Just by looking at him, you can say that he is indeed a fine young man. It was Jio, who was carrying a container filled with cucumbers. His shirt was soaked with sweat, making it obvious that he ran all the way just to go in this dark place.

 

"Why are you here!? You still have the courage to go here!?" the cold girl said, like a cat seeing a mouse.

 

"Why? Is it wrong to be here? Does the dean know anything about this?" Jio bravely asked, fully asking for war. Krystal couldn’t say anything.

 

"Look. It's not like I want to be in here and it pains my eyes to see you every single time but since it's your nature to become a burden, here, I came to give you this. I'm tired of looking after your mess" Jio said as he tossed Krystal's bag in front of her.

 

"My bag!" she said like a child seeing a candy.

 

"If you want to cut classes, you might as well bring your bag with you. It looks like a branded bag, it would be such a waste to find it in the garbage" Jio said with concern, putting off an unintentional charm. Krystal stared at him straight into his eyes.

 

"Okay. Now get out of here. There's no reason for you to stay here" Krystal said, like a dog defending its spot.

 

Jio let out a carefree smile and said, "Leave? No way. I'm staying here. As long as you don’t come to class, I'll stay with you". He opened his container as he sat beside the cold girl. "Do you want some cucumbers?", he offered. Krystal was confused and became speechless.

 

 

EARLIER..

 

That woman! How can she be so careless!? How can she just leave her bag? Here I am, on my way to the library just to see this dummy of a girl when I saw our professor in the hallway. He smiled at me the moment he saw me.

 

"Hey, you're the new kid right?" he asked me which I humbly responded with a nod.

 

"Ms. Krystal had been reported that she has been cutting classes for some time now but we don’t want to be so hard on her. You're her seatmate, right?" the professor asked.

 

"Yes I am" I answered with utmost respect.

 

"Can you please convince her to come to class? She doesn’t have any friends except for her members. I have talked to her members about this but they couldn’t do anything" the professor said with a worried face.

 

"Sir, if you don’t mind me asking but why don’t you tell Krystal by yourself? I guess Krystal would stop if you asked her yourself" I said without thinking.

 

"See, boy. Super Junior and Girls' Generation have graduated to this school and debuted successfully. Of course, after producing a successful group, we need to build a new investment. f(x) is a very talented girl group and as you can see, Krystal and Sulli attracts a lot of people. We don’t want to treat her like a burden so that is why nobody messes with them. We can't afford an f(x) member leaving this school. Now, can you help me boy?" the man asked sincerely.

 

So after all this time, the school saw Krystal and Sulli as a new money bringer? A thing that will attract money for them? That is wrong! What a junk! No, I need to be calm. I need to handle this calmly.

 

I smiled to my professor and said, "I'll try my best sir!". He smiled at me and I flashed a fake smile. Now I'm doubting if they also saw me as a new money maker too. I thought that this school is all about showing your talents, but it turns out, this is all about money all along.

 

I quietly went to the library. I saw a man heading to the library too so I hid.

 

"W-Why did y-you call me h-here?"

 

"I just wanted to ask you a favor"

 

"A-anything!"

 

"Really?"

 

"Y-yeah!"

 

"I just want you to do my art project. You know, because you're the best option around. I truly admire your artistic skills. Truly fascinating"

 

"Y-yeah! I'll do it a-as fast as p-possible!"

 

"Good. Now, can you leave? I need to…. well, enjoy the isolation"

 

I saw the man's shadow bowing to Krystal's shadow. The man looks like a senior so why did he do that?

 

Now I know how Krystal managed to be in the top ten even though she was cutting! She's really good at this. I figured her out!

 

After bowing, he left the room, running. He must be so embarrassed. I saw Krystal's shadow sitting on the floor. For some reason, I feel sorry for her. The school saw her as a money bringer. If she knew that, it must have been hard for her.

 

"Hey…. Stupid girl, you here?" I said as I stood up.

 

"Who's there!?" she shouted.

 

I slowly showed myself. I know that she wouldn't want me to be in here.

 

"Why are you here!? You still have the courage to go here!?" she said. Aiish! Isn't she so arrogant?

 

"Why? Is it wrong to be here? Does the dean know anything about this?" I said but she didn’t answer. Stupid girl…

 

"Look. It's not like I want to be in here and it pains my eyes to see you every single time but since it's your nature to become a burden, here, I came to give you this. I'm tired of looking after your mess" I said as I tossed her bag.

 

"My bag!" she said.

 

"If you want to cut classes, you might as well bring your bag with you. It looks like a branded bag, it would be such a waste to find it in the garbage" I said.

 

"Okay. Now get out of here. There's no reason for you to stay here" she said. That is rude! I'm just being nice and there she goes again! No, I won't leave again! She must have been lonely spending most of her time here, and knowing that the school treats her like that makes me want to throw up.

 

 "Leave? No way. I'm staying here. As long as you don’t come to class, I'll stay with you" I said as I opened my cucumbers.

 

"Do you want some cucumbers?" I asked her but all I can see is her frowning face.

 

"I hate cucumbers…" she said.
