"There's nothing to be sad of Hera, really." At the sound of the voice, the named girl rolled her eyes. She tried her best to remain calm and holding back the urge from pulling the person's hair.
"We all get dumped by him, yours was just a little dramatic that's all." Hera shot her a glare. She knew this was coming, his previous flings in the cheerleading team would come to 'comfort' or give a word of advice for her. "Thanks, but I don't need your advice." She then rolled her eyes and stood up to leave the group of girls.
"He'll come back to you though, when he wants to." One of them spoke, loud enough for her to hear and this time it truly ticked her off. Hera launched forward to actually attack one of them but she was stopped by Yuta who held on her arm before she could even move. Of course Hera was pissed, she didn't want to be labelled as one of Yukhei's ex. It ruined her pride.
Yuta slung an arm around her shoulders and took her away from the girls. Practice had never been so tensed with Hera and the cheerleaders and Jungwoo with Yukhei. Luckily, it was time to head home so Hera could escape from being the talk of the school, at least for a while.
The girl noticed numerous times how Yukhei tried to approach her but failed to do so as Jungwoo practically stuck next to her. She didn't know her brother was that powerful, the punch must've been very strong.
As expected, the player did not forget to call her although his attempts failed one by one. The amount of glances he stole in her direction were countless. Hera wanted to laugh at how hard he was trying to talk to her, or at least he was doing it for the show. She wasn't grasping the fact on why wouldn't he act as if nothing happened? The most probable answer was that he wanted the money.
"I'm gonna talk to him." Hera spoke which caught her friend off guard. "Now? Are you sure?" Yuta asked. It was strange how she cooled down in the span of one day. Normally, if Hera was angry, it took her almost a week to let go of whatever caused her fury. "I don't think that's the best thing to d—"
"I'm not asking for your permission, if you wanna come fine. If not, stay away from my plan." She hissed, it proved him right that she was still angry. Leaving her would caused all hell to break loose so Yuta thought it was better to tag along. The least he could do was prevent her from screaming and made sure Jungwoo wasn't there as well.
Yuta watched silently as she gathered a few paper bags with branded names on it and walked towards the group of popular boys near the bleachers. They were cooling their bodies off after practice and chatting with one another, in a circle. The male silently prayed that Hera would try to calm down a little. He'd seen how she took out her anger before, and it was never a pretty sight.
The male looked around again, luckily most of the students had left. Only a few were still there, but still the amount was enough to make news spread once Hera scream at the tall male's face. However, Yuta was slightly relieved that Jungwoo went inside the gym to change so he wouldn't be here to add more drama.
"Hera—"
Yuta called her softly, he wanted to stop her but the girl yanked his hands away from her and marched towards the boys. Her eyes fixed on Yukhei and Yuta had never seen such wrath in her. Hera was a soft girl, but she could contain so much rage that he couldn't even imagine. The twins temper was something Yuta had always kept in mind to never cross the line.
"Hey, guys!" Hera exclaimed with a malicious grin. Obviously, everyone had their eyes rounded at her presence. However, none of them could open their mouth to greet her back. They knew something bad was happening and they were afraid their actions would be the wrong step.
The grin instantly disappeared as Yukhei stood up and approached her. "Take it." Hera said, her tone low and cold. "It's for you." Yukhei replied which this time made her scoff as she rolled her eyes before looking back at him.
"Well, I don't want it." Hera said and dropped the bags right in front of his toes. "I don't appreciate wearing things that were reluctantly bought." She smiled sarcastically at him. At this point, Yukhei felt as if Hera had slapped him in the face. He was lost for words, he knew nothing that he said who make her listen.
He decided now wasn't the time for him to properly explain himself. Hera was just so stubborn at the moment, she wouldn't listen. She even mistook his silence as a sign of boredom. As if he wasn't in the mood to deal with her because he had experienced things like this before.
"I'd appreciate if you would stop calling me too." Hera added more shatter to the thin ice he's walking on. "Hera, you don't understand. I—"
"What don't I understand Wong Yukhei?!" She snapped. "I heard everything clearly, I forced myself to listen to what you and Maya schemed. I didn't want to believe it but everything pointed out that you were clearly playing with me!" The moment she shouted, Yuta panicked. The people around the field were already looking at them.
"Hera." Yuta called softly, a sign to warn her that people were paying attention on her. The girl swallowed hard, she shut her eyes for a while and she didn't bother to wipe the tears that fell. "Please, just leave me alone." She said, this time her voice was almost like a whisper. She didn't look at him at all, her eyes were on the ground as she didn't want any of the boys to see her tears.
She turned around, her head hung low and was ready to leave when she felt a tug on her wrist. Hera didn't have to guess, she knew it was Yukhei. Anger was filling her up as she was frustrated by the unknown fact of why he wouldn't give up.
The girl spun fast on her heels and slapped him right on the cheek. Everyone could clearly hear gasps coming from every corner, from every people who were watching. Hera too, was surprised she could even do such thing to a person. Her hands were shaking from the anger, the shock she was getting.
Yukhei recovered from the slap quickly and the two of them locked eyes for a brief second. This only reminded her of the false memories they spent together. She wanted to erase him, so she'd better do it properly. Hera pulled off the necklace he gave her and threw it right at him. That was the last strike. There was no turning back.
"Stay away from me."
She said before storming off from the field. Yuta was still in dazed and he noticed Yukhei was about to run after her. He was quick enough to stop his friend. "Don't, she's not being herself." Yuta said and instantly chased after the girl. A part of him regretted for not stopping Hera from making a decision she ought to regret.
