Jieun was sitting on a rusted bench at the rooftop of the arts and science building. She never thought she would do something so bold and fearless in her life. Talking back at Nancy was never on her vocabulary despite the many attempts of the latter on pissing her off.
Jieun searched her bag and pick up a pen and a customized blue notebook with a dry rose and torn pictures attached to its outer, the entirety was wrapped with a transparent plastic cover which she made herself. She placed the earphones from her pocket to her ears and started listening to music from her ipod. Closing her eyes,she felt like she could write a sad poem and subconsciously started writing down.
Inevitable, how life could be cruel
Isn't there a being who lives no sorrow ?
It's okay, it's almost over , you did well.
For what is not here today might be there tomorrow...
A sky so empty, a sea so wide
How could a path to happiness be so narrow?
A paradise outside,a cell inside
If a storm is meant to happen,will ther will be a rainbow?
She continue to write on her notebook not minding her surrounding, humming to the melody of a song. Her lips formed into a thin line as she stretches her arm sideward.
And then bang!
Jieun's eyes widened ,she felt she had pushed something which had now fallen to the ground.
Or maybe someone?
She frozed for a few seconds before she turns her head to the side only to found a guy sitting on the floor ,holding his butt ,mouth wide open, tongue cursing ,brows furrowing from the pain. Jieun hesitated for a while. What was this guy doing here again? but eventually help him up to sit on the bench.
"Are you okay?" worry was evident on her voice.
The guy could only manage to nod and wave his hand to stop her from checking on him for any bruises. When he finally raised his head, he found Jieun sitting beside him maintaining a certain distance while looking at him with her doe eyes. Then he laughed lightly.
"What's funny?" There's no sarcasm in her voice ,just the plain calm tone she always use. Face now shifted from a worried one to confused.
Jungkook was just looking for some place to cool off his head from the heated conversation he has with Mingyu and then found himself walking endlessly. The rooftop seems to be a perfect place away from the crowd so he came. When he opened the door, he found her ,he never knew who she is since she was facing against the entrance, but something inside him urged to approach her. He thought Maybe God sent him to the rooftop for a reason. A girl and a guy in a people-less rooftop, who knows what could happen. As he walks closer he heard her humming, and noticed the earphone wires attached on her phone in her lap. So that's why she didn't notice his arrival, he thought. He slowly sits beside her, only to realize it's Lee Jieun, his new classmate and before the reality sinks, he was already on the ground.
"Nothing. I just find it amusing to keep on bumping into you lately." When he noticed her silence he looks at her again and scans the surrounding. It was no extravagant, just a typical rooftop only with an old bench and a few broken tables and chairs and a sight seeing of the ocean. He then returned his gaze to the girl beside her.
"What are you doing in a place like this?" He asked.
Now averting her attention back to the front. She was silent for a while, what is she doing there anyway? To cool off her head? To clear her thoughts and write poems? To avoid human interaction just like what he's doing right now? There's a lot of answers in her head but she decided to keep her answer short so he could leave her alone.
