~Pilot chapter~ . . .
Past— Iris was tired. Tired of life, tired of people, tired of being alone.... She felt isolated and scared all the time. If it wasn't for her sister she would be completely alone. She was always alone and she hated being alone... "Hey" Iris flinched at the sudden voice behind her. She turned around to see the schools most popular boy. "Oh hey Kyung-seok... why are you still here?" Iris said awkwardly. She didn't talk to many boy or people in general but sometimes Kyung-seok would start random conversations with her. She never understood why and assumed he was just being nice. "The teacher gave you extra chores. Let me help." He snatched the broom out of my hand before I could decline. "I- umm ok..." Iris stood awkwardly behind Kyung-seok while he swept. "Are u wearing perfume?" Huh? My perfume? "Umm yea a little...why?" Iris asked while looking away. "You should stop. You smell better without it." HUHHHH?! "oh.." The pregnant silence took over while Iris silently freaked out. Her classroom was empty and so was most of the school. Iris secretly regrets telling Mi-Rae to not wait for her because now she has to walk to the bus alone. And she hates being alone.... She stared down at her worn out shoes and zones out. Maybe I could ask Kyung-seok to walk with me? Nahh he wouldn't do that. "Iris" Kyung-seok says without any emotion. "Huh!? What-What happened!" "I'm done. Let's go." He walks out the door without another word. If he wasn't so handsome his stoic nature would have gotten old so fast. It makes Iris wonder why out of everyone he only talks to her....
Iris gathers her bag and runs to catch up with Kyung-seok. He was a mountain while she didn't even reach his shoulder. Her short legs working over time to match his mile long steps. He glances behind to see her struggling to keep up and discreetly slows his pace so that there walking side by side. Iris is somehow out of breathe already. "Where are we going?" She says in-between breathes. "The bus stop, did u think I was taking you somewhere else?" He side eyes her. Iris stares at her feet while walking, clearly flustered. "No! Of course not! Why would I even think that!" She says defensively. Kyung-seok's mouth twitches up. The conversation ends there and they continue walking in pace with each other all the way to the bus stop.
It's dark out when they get to the bus stop and no one else is seated. They sit a respectful distance from each and Iris makes sure not to look anywhere in his direction. The silence gets louder the longer they sit there. Iris sighs and unzips her bag. She gets out her headphones. She places one of her favorite song on and leans back against the glass. (At the top) She bobs her head slowly to the soothing song and subconsciously starts to hum. Kyung-seok listens to her and smiles slightly. She really is something else. He watches as her feet start to tap and move to the beat her hums turns into soft singing, so soft that he has to move closer to clearly hear it. Iris is so distracted she doesn't even notice him getting closer. Kyung-seok rest his arms on his thighs and leans forward to closer admire her features. He notices a small cut on her forehead and tiny acne scars on her forehead. He leans a little closer until their arms slightly graze each others and Iris still has yet to notice. He can't help but chuckle at how unaware she is. It makes him want to protect her more. She clearly can't do it herself he thinks to himself after seeing the small bruises on her wrist. He clenched his fist but it relaxes after looking at her face again. Her unkept hair swept slightly over her face and he couldn't help but tuck it behind her ear. "Eep!" Iris yelps and fliches hard causing herself to fall of her seat landing hard on her behind. Her dramatic reaction causes Kyung-seok to flinch to. "Why'd you jump?" He asked as if it wasn't plainly obvious. "You we're touching my face!" His face remained indifferent as always. "So?" Iris gasped. "You can't just do that! I don't know where your hands been! It's probably been touching some girl and I don't nee— "The bus is here." He interrupted. Iris snaps her head around to see the bus pulling up. Still on the floor she quickly stands up and gathers her things. She swears she sees him smirking as he walks in, she has no choice but to follow. He takes a seat in the back and Iris makes sure to sit far away, Still embarrassed. Kyung-seok was getting ready to get up and take the seat beside her when he notices how tense her shoulders were. Practically up to her ears. He uncharacteristically starts to feel guilty for scaring her the way he did and slumps back into his seat. The empty bus was quiet but for once Iris appreciated it so she could gather her thoughts.
