Rejection

I'm Sorry It Was You

I spent the rest of the weekend mostly studying in my penthouse. It was very spacious and elegantly decorated here, but lonely. I also had to phone back some of my friends from my old school that had left messages on my phone for me. They all thought I was away doing charity work for the greater good - I just had to hope none of them saw me. But it was unlikely any would be in this area. I had also had to have a talk with my father’s secretary about how the matter with Sehun was going. Dismally, I reported that it might take a while.

 

When Monday came around, I was more than a little hesitant about returning to that school. But, as the clock struck 7:30, I promptly left my house and made my way to school, determined not to be late again.

As I walked to school for the second time in my life, I noticed a large group of girls around the gate. They were all very beautiful; among them I recognised Kim Yunseo and so quickly hurried past without another glance, not wanting to provoke any more hostility.

I was among the first to enter the class and was a little sad to see Baekhyun wasn’t here yet. Oh, and neither was Sehun.

I looked around the slowly-filling class and noticed that neither Kai nor Chanyeol were in this class. "Morning!" a chirpy voice greeted me as the waving hand of Baekhyun came into view. He was smiley as always and was eager to hear how my weekend was. Determined not to sound like a compete loser who spent her spare time studying alone, I said I spent time with my family.

Suddenly there was a loud rabble from the corridor causing many of the students to jump up from their seats and rush to the door.  Baekhyun chuckled and whispered to me, "This is why if Sehun turns up at all, he does so in a late way. The attention otherwise is insane."

When Sehun appeared in the doorway, there was a ruckus in the class, caused largely by the fact that the teacher had not yet appeared. Sehun ignored most of the people, only giving a couple even the pleasure of his eye contact and a nod. His face remained completely blank however.

He sat beside me wordlessly again, and then the teacher came in and silenced the rest of the class. Only once we had done the attendance did Sehun acknowledge my existence, turning and smirking at me a little,"I see you managed to find your house in the end." Was trying to wind me up? It worked.

"Yes. Believe it or not, even without your superior guidance and instructions, even a pathetic, stupid human like me was still able to find my own house."

Sehun picked up on my sarcasm but instead of feeling bad for insinuated that I was a moron, he patted my arm and with even greater sarcasm replied, "I’m happy you could overcome all those obstacles and managed to not fall on the pavement… again."

I was literally fuming at this point. Who did this damn blonde kid think he was?! I rose from my seat, hit my fist hard on the table and shouted, "I was pushed over!"

The pink colour that took to my cheeks was so red, you could have burnt yourself on it. Not only had the whole class seen, but I had hit my injured hand on the table so hard that it had begun bleeding again. Perhaps my one saving grace was that the teacher had left the room to get our test results from Friday, and so was unaware of the havoc I had caused.

The noise that escaped my lips was a cross between a hiss and grunt, causing Baekhyun to laugh and Sehun to look a little startled. Like he even had the right!  I sat down quickly before the teacher came back in. I silently sulked, appraising my hand. 

Baekhyun’s voice called out to the teacher, "Mira has fallen over and cut her hand. May she go to the nurse?" Jeez he made it sound like I just fell over air or something.

The teacher looked concerned and excused me immediately. I stood up, looking flushed with embarrassment at the whole nasty incident, and the teacher asked if I wanted someone to go with me. I was about to say no, when I heard a chair scraping and turned to see Sehun had left his seat and was heading towards the front of the class.

"I can take her since you’re only going over the test now, and I got the highest mark in the class, right?" he quietly asked to the teacher. The quietly smug look on his face killed me. I really wanted to smack it.

"You should take her, yes. Since you got second highest. Mira here, scored half a mark better than you."

The phrase if looks could kill has never been clearer to me than now. And in this moment when I could have made peace with Oh Sehun, what did I chose to do? I stuck out my tongue behind the teachers back and headed triumphantly from the class. This was like my glorious moment of retribution. Well, it was briefly. 

"Why are you going that way?"

I froze. Damn.

Chapter 38: Came back to this chapter after just having finished this story a few minutes ago, because the writing in this chapter is probably my favourite. I've never read a story with such delicate yet detailed kisses before and the writing just amazes me to no end.



I personally think that the delicateness of the kisses and the touches they share sort of describes them in a way. It's like they tipoe amongst each other, especially in this chapter, but are starting to realise that their footsteps needn't be calculated or uncertain, they can be more confident and understood.

I don't know if that made any sense lol so swiftly moving on. I came over here from EXO Fanfic Gems (plus other fandom pearls) and I'm so glad I did. Korekrypta mentioned when they were describing this book that you took a cliche trope and made it your own and I honestly couldn't agree more.

The descriptions you had for every scene, the realistic 1st person POV, just everything was so well written and well executed that you got me to read the whole thing, which is rare because I usually avoid stories that have more than 30 chapters unless I absolutely must know what happens.

You know, it's so easy to take a trope and come up with a story because of how many examples and references are out there but you made this story so completely your own. There was humorous banter (which is the best sort of banter, really), lovable character dynamics (I personally loved Mira's relation with her grandparents, it was so wholesome), interesting yet realistic events (never read about plate shopping before but I loved it) and best of all, one of the best romantic buildups I've read on asianfanfics.

Although I would have definitely loved seeing more of them as a couple because they didn't last very long considering how things turned out around the time of their hs graduation, this is probably the first story that has kept me so hooked even though the concrete, physical displays of love were in much lesser number in comparison to the looks and subtle touches of love.

It's rare to find someone who can do that well, so I end up reading books that have the first kind of love but yeah, I loved the way you wrote this relationship. It was so new and I admire your writing style a lot.

To wrap up my incredibly long comment, I'll answer your question from the last chapter, my favourite character is Mira, just for the amount of sheer character development she shows. She is amazing and deserves everything in the world. (Plus come on, angry little gnome sounds like just the sort of friend I would love to have in my life.)
