Aera: What are you talking about?

Mom: I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you, or-

Aera: It's not your fault, it's mine..

(She looks up at me, tears pooling in her eyes as I gulp)

Aera: I loved my mother, and I just, didn't want a replacemen- I-I mean-

Mom: It's okay sweetheart, I get it

(She hold my hands, as I smile at the warmth)

*She reminds me of mum..*

Aera: I'll try to be more considerate from now on

(She chuckles, as she nods and opens her arms)

(I was pretty hesitant, but I gradually came closer to her, wrapping my arms around her)

Aera: (sniff) I-I'm sorry mom

(She tightens the hug, and rubs my back as I smile)

//2 days later//

(I was walking with Hye-jin talking about random stuff near my locker when I hear my name being called)

Jungkook: Hey kitty

(I shut my eyes and inhale deeply, turning around, looking at him with a sharp gaze)

Aera: Jeon Jungkook, how many times have I told you not to call m-

(My eyes slowly soften, as I gaze at the cast on his right hand)

Aera: What happened?

(I mumble, my gaze fixed on the cast, when he smiles)

Jungkook: I like you

Aera: You...you what!?

Jungkook: I like you

(He shrugs as I stare at him gobsmacked)

Aera: Is this some sort of pra-

Jungkook: No, it isn't, I like yo-

Aera: Okay stop saying that!

(Hye-jin was looking at Jungkook, with her jaw practically on the floor, while I blink twice and turn around leaving with her, not talking any further)

//time skip//

Aera: I hate summer school!

(I yelled in despair, as Hye-jin chuckles lowly beside me)

Hye-jin: Oh wait, about Jungkook-

Aera: I know you didn't tell him anything Hye, I trust you

*Buzz buzz*

(I groan and fish my phone out of my bag, looking at the notification)

Aera: Of course, it had to be him

*****

Jeonbunny: Señorita!

Basicteen: Hey

Basicteen: Why'd you say you liked Aera this morning?

Jeonbunny: That's because I do like her

Basicteen: ....what

Basicteen: What about me?
[Seen]

*****

Aera: I ask him what the hell is going on and he puts me on seen!?

(I was clearly being dramatic, but at this point, I can't control my emotions that well)

*Why does the whole goddamn universe hate me so much!?*

(Suddenly, Hye-jin's phone rings as she takes it out and looks at the caller ID)

(I slightly peep into her phone too, it was her mom)

Hye-jin: Hello? Yeah? I'm with Kitty- but- Ugh fine, bye!

(She cuts the call and looks at me with a pouty face)

Aera: Let me guess, you have to leave because of some "urgent" work?

Hye-jin: Y-yes, I'm sorry Kitty, I promise I'll hangout with you later

(She hugs me and saunters away as I sigh and trudge towards my house)

Jungkook: Kitty!

Aera: Oh not him again!
