Tutor ➳ Kang Taehyun

this cannot be true. how can this ever be true?

with both hands clenched into tight fists, her face turn into the biggest scowl. those black iris of hers darkened as she stares at the school board, which was showing something not very pleasant to her. her head throbbing in pain, trying to think of every possibility. how can this even happen? She unknowingly gritted her teeth in annoyance, slowly letting out of the breath she didn't know she was holding.

Nothing could ever explain just how much she feels like ripping the piece of sheet that was attached on the wooden board because hell, she fears herself exploding at any moment now due to her burning in outrage. and as much as she hates it, her gaze falls once again on the paper — she had to make sure all she's seeing right now is even real.

1. Kang Taehyun
2. Kim y/n

coming to her own realization, she acknowledges that no matter how many times she reads it over and over again, what has written wouldn't change because,

taehyun beats her. again.

now this is the whole reason why she hates that boy. if someone ask her why'd she hates the boy's guts so much, this reason would be at the top of the fucking list. why? because for years she's been a student, no one, she repeats — no one ever beats her record in this school. but then how come this recently transferred student, kang taehyun ruined all of her efforts in just a span of two months being here? and keep it in mind that this is not the first time he ever beats her in exam.

she remembers everything too well. everything still feels so fresh in her mind. and everything still feels like fever dream to her until now.

kang taehyun's first day in this school feels like hell to her because she just had to witness how the boy charmed everyone including the teachers with his everything — his smile, his looks, his talent and most importantly his smartness.

y/n despised everything with all of her.

she's unable to say of anything, let alone argue with everyone. all she can do was just think of what problem she could've gotten into once her parents find out about this.

well, people always have something to say about her. because now, while she's busy in her own train of thoughts, all she could hear was some mocking coming from girls she doesn't know.

" you see that? taehyun beats her again!"
" he's so smart though. this is the second time"
" i'm glad he did. that girl should sometimes learn. she's too arrogant."

she scowls but finding it amusing at the same time. it's the way how everyone wasn't even trying to hide at how much they dislike her. but she wasn't one to say — that's exactly what she has been doing to them too.

and as much as she wanted to snap them off, she knows better to not embarrassed herself. she had no choice that to keep herself quiet albeit the continual fuming.

y/n wasn't arrogant like how everyone said. She just wasn't everyone enough. Do not blame her because how could she befriended those insane people that won't stop talking behind her back? The way they have so much to talk about when they no absolutely nothing about her life. It's impossible for her to go around telling people about her bitter life, right? In addition for that, she hates to reminisce even the single bit of her awful life.

y/n would not stay that any longer. so, she decided to turn her heels, ready to go anywhere but stay there when she heard an all too well known voice calling for her name.

"kim y/n."

that couldn't be. seriously, fuck her life.

pits of swearing words were thrown in her mind, she had no choice but to turn around. wearing the most natural ( read : fake ) smile, she's now facing the boy she loathed.

"kang taehyun." she speaks, ignoring all the whispers from the students around echoing through the school's corridor.

she's caught red handed when kang taehyun actually steps forward. and when she said step forward, it means a lot of steps. their distance was surprisingly close.

" congrats for you result. you amazed me once again. our pointer doesn't even have that much differences in between." said taehyun with an unexpectedly lovely smile that can made everyone's heart combust.

no, as if she would fall into the trap.

" are you mocking me?" she scoffs. and instead of replying sweetly, she tries to find any hint of sarcasm in his words but all she can see is just pure sincerity. well, that's not what she's expecting but that's exactly what his eyes are telling.

she knows he's sincere, and she absolutely hates it.

he seems confuse with what came off from her mouth. and y/n almost feels sorry to him.

" why would I? I think you did so well, I hope there's no vendetta between us."

she secretly rolls her eyes, getting annoyed. well, there's absolutely vendetta against him. it's the way she thinks he's only trying to make she looks like a terrible person right here. and she certainly despise receiving sympathy from people.

" I know I could've done better." she replies cockily. maybe all those words about her being cocky and arrogant were true after all. " you doesn't scare me. plus, I don't need your congrats. I don't even ask you to congratulate me so don't waste your time here trying to be good."

y/n doesn't lie when she said she saw how the boy's smile flatter almost immediately. truth to be told, she maybe feel a hint of guilt rising inside.

was it too harsh?

It wasn't supposed to be mean. she wasn't supposed to be mean.

but if this all for the sake of her own good.

and it was a moment of silence for everyone. she kind of starting to regret being too mean. she could've at least ignored but no, she didn't.

but that's a life of her. she doesn't make friends because to her, none will stay. and she's not willing or planning to have one either.

because at the end, everyone will leave us too.

with that, she immediately walks past taehyun, even purposely bumps her shoulder slightly with him.
