we aren't dating

it's all unofficial
we're absolutely infatuated with
each other

that is until she came along
he says he loves me
he holds me and whispers
loving bliss into my ear

"사랑해 잇체
뽀뽀하고 싶어!"
I love you, Itche
I want to kiss you!

he said as he hugged me
in front of the bus stop

I smothered his face with
kisses and squished my cheek
to his

。。。

recently I see him talking
more and more to this
girl in his math class

her name is park waerin
박왜린

she's not the nicest but
it's none of my business to
correct something her parents
should've taught her

she's hated me since elementary
when I showed how superior
my academic abilities were
in contrast to hers

I played chess and learned calculus
around the ages 7 - 17

I've been able to showcase my
"talent" enough to the point
of irrelevancy

I can only relate to teachers
or nerds and my peers treat
me as though I'm 10 years
older than them all

I didn't ask for this but I was
pushed into it

I was too dependent on my
mother as a child so when I had
to go to school and she had to
leave for business trips
I would be able to live on my own
for the first time as though I had
never had a mother to take care of me
in the first place

I may resent my parents for leaving
me with this
"independent kid genius"
burden but I know it was in their
best interest

they wanted to save money not
pay for a nanny and give
me life skills

my family is full of black sheeps

my mom was a black sheep
to her family
my dad was a black sheep
to his family

and I'm the product of that

these students resent me with
the same strength I resent
my parents for

I didn't ask to be led in this direction

maybe if I was dumber,
they would treat me the same
