Chapter Text
The bell of Ganghak Highschool had seemed to have rang sharper than usual that day; as if it knew there would be new troubles.
Whispers carried through the halls and the gates as Aeri approached the school, feet carrying her lightly across the concrete.
Seong-Je hadn’t been far behind her, grinning sharply with his other Union goons. His eyes had traced her form curiously. He watched as she shoved her AirPods in her ears, blocking out noise.
That should’ve been his first warning.
The girl wasn’t one who’d appreciate his presence.
Yet he was everywhere. Every class, every free period, every passing period, didn’t matter. He was by her side, attempting to pry himself into her life.
After, maybe a week, he had finally found his way in. She allowed him to walk with her to her house. He strolled side by side with her, taking long, hot drags of his cigarette. She had just stared at the sidewalk.
Finally, before her street, she spoke.
”I’m not that interesting. You don't have to waste your time.” Aeri had murmured.
”Well I think you’re interesting enough.” Seong-Je grinned. Aeri smiled softly.
That was their meeting. Stupid and utterly ridiculous.
Yet Seong-Je had already told everyone, that girl was his to stay with.
