Chapter 8

* The next day *

Seokwoo POV

I couldn't sleep at all. What am I? Stupid? How did I allow myself to say such things? And how am I going to face him today at school?

Shit, gotta get up and dress for school.

I put on my uniform, ate my sandwich and headed to school. It wasn't far, about 15 minutes walk from my house.

Perfect. I run into the person I wanted to run into the most. Kang Chanhee was at the school gate. Waiting for someone, probably?

"Seokwoo, good morning" he waved at me

Was he maybe waiting for.... Me?

"Yea, morning"

"What's the angry face for?" Chanhee chuckled

"What do you mean, it's my every day face"

"If you say so" and after a long pause he added "You know.... About yesterday....."

"What about yesterday?" I played it cool

"Tch saying those words and then acting like nothing happened" okay, he was angry

"Forget it" I said "Forget everything I said yesterday, I wasn't in my right mind"

"Don't worry, I know it was just your possessive self" he stopped for a moment and looked into my eyes

Am I just being possessive? Is that really it?

"Heey? What are you two doing over there???" Youngkyun came up to us

Here comes this annoying brat.

"We were talking abo-"

"Nothing. Let's go" I brushed off everything just like that

I heard Chanhee cussing underneath his breath but I pretended like I didn't notice anything. Youngkyun, the poor boy, was so confused.

I kept walking to the classroom, and as I was going someone bumped onto me. It was some girl.

"Au-" then she looked me into my eyes and froze "I'm sorry" she got scared

"Be careful next time" only came out from my mouth as I continued walking to the classroom

"I will" I heard her even though we weren't even close as she was loud

Wasn't she scared of me a little time ago? So funny.

I sat on my seat and as I was staring outside through the window my thoughts drifted to Chanhee. Was I really just possessive? I mean I wouldn't have been surprised if that was true, but is it really? I don't know, I don't know anymore.

Fuck. It's suffocating here in the classroom. I'm gonna go outside, on the rooftop.

"Hey! Kim Seokwoo where are you going?" the teacher yelled at me

"Outside"

Without hearing what will he say I continued on my way to the rooftop. Shitty teachers.

Aah. The wind breeze felt nice on my  face.

"Skipping classes?" a kind female voice reached out to me

It was the girl that bumped onto me this morning. I was kinda annoyed by the fact that someone else was present too.

"You're gonna ignore me?"

I still didn't answer.

"Not that it's gonna stop me from talking to you"

"Bitch shut up already, you're making my head ache" I grabbed her wrist

"O-okay, sorry, I will be quiet" I noticed her eyes shaking as she stared into my eyes

I let go of her hand and sat down.
