Love Me Right

Scared To Love You

Umji's POV

My eyes are fixed at the teacher in front but my mind is on the person sitting behind me. It is so hard to be in one classroom with the person you don't want to see the most. I keep on ignoring her presence everyday and it's slowly killing me. I don't understand why I'm feeling this way.

"Can we...talk after class? I need to tell you something, Umji-ya."

I heard Sinb's voice. I ignored her like how I did almost everyday. There is nothing to talk about. I've had enough of her lies and games.

"Please, let's talk. Let me talk with you again, Umji. I...I missed you."

I was shocked when I heard Sinb's crying voice. I noticed that our teacher and all of our classmates are looking at Sinb now, they all looked surprised. I fight the urge to look behind me. I don't want to care about her anymore.

"Ms. Hwang? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" The teacher asked and I was surprised. She's crying? Is this true or she's doing her acting again? I can't even tell if she's showing the truth or not.

"I'm...sorry, Mr. Park."

Everyone was shocked cause this is the first time Sinb apologized. She never apologized even to teachers because she's the spoiled brat queenbee. I want to believe that she really changed like what Yerin unnie told me but...It is so hard for me to trust this girl.

"I-It's okay, Ms. Hwang. Do you want to go out to have some space on your own?"

As usual. The teachers will always be so kind to her. I sighed and just wrote some random thoughts on my notebook. I was shocked when I realized what I've wrote.

'Stop crying, Sinb.'

'You are pretty, queenbee'

'I missed you'

'I think I love you'

I tore the page of my notebook where I wrote those stupid words then sighed heavily. I noticed the teacher and my classmates staring weirdly at me. I sighed and unknowingly dropped the crumpled paper on my hand. Before I realized it, I saw Sinb already reading that paper with a smile on her face. I stand up and tried to get that paper from her but she dodged my hand successfully.

"Yah, Hwang. Give it back to me."

"I won't. This paper is the most precious love letter I've got." Sinb said and our classmates started teasing us making me blushed. Our teacher is just watching Sinb and I with a smile on his face. This people are all crazy.

"I'm sorry, sir. But I need to go to the washroom."

I didn't wait for the teacher's approval as I walked out of the classroom. I'm walking with heavy steps and was stopped when someone hold my hand. I looked back at me and saw Sinb.

"Don't go anywhere. Just stay beside me, Umji."

"Stay beside you? For what? Your arrange marriage with Sowon unnie is already done so there's no point of staying with you anymore. Our ' Don't fall in love with me game' is already done so leave me alone, Hwang Sinb." I said while glaring at Sinb. I hate looking at her face because she's too pretty. I hate talking to her and I don't want to stay with her anymore. I don't want to fall for her. I'm scared to fall in love with her and I don't know why.

"Our game is over but my love for you is not. I'm sorry for breaking our first rule in our stupid game, Umji-ya." Sinb said making my heart jumped. Our first rule? Does it mean that...

"I fell in love with you and... until now, I can't stop myself loving you. I don't even want to stop loving you, Umji. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you and to Sowon-ssi. Forgive me and give me a chance to prove myself to you. Just let me love you, Kim Yewon." Sinb said looking straight into my eyes. She looks sincere in everything she said but...I'm scared to believe her. She's good in lying and I don't want to become one of her toys. 

I'm so scared to love you, Hwang Sinb.

"Umji... I love you." Sinb said and I can't understand myself. I'm so confused right now. I harshly pulled my hand away from Sinb's hold then glared at her.

"Stop with your stupid act, Sinb. Just stay away from me."

"I am not acting or playing games with you, Umji. I really love you, I really do!"

I slapped Sinb's face. She looks shocked and so am I. Why are you doing this to me, Sinb? Just leave me alone. I don't want to be part of your world anymore.

"Umji.."

"I'm sorry, Sinb."

I ran away from her as tears started to roll down from my eyes. Why am I feeling this way? Am I really in love with Sinb now? I'm so scared to fall in love with her.
