All about Kazujin

under my skin pt.1

"and who are you exactly?" a silky voice called out from in front of her. kazuha lifted her head to see a tall, blonde and gorgeous girl standing with her arms crossed in front of her. kazuha scrambled to fix her disheveled appearance in hopes to not seem like a fool in front of who seemed to be the popular girl. "sorry." she grabbed the last remaining papers on the ground and held it to her chest.

yunjin watched the brunette's eyes wander all around, everywhere but on her own. this just agitated her more, with her fingers, she locked them under the latter's chin and jerked her face towards her. "answer me, who are you?" she spat out, her teeth biting her inner cheek from irritation the longer silence in the air lingered between them. "kazuha, i'm new here." the younger replied.

"hm..." she rocked the girl's head side to side to study her. yunjin found the 'new girl' interesting, the way she was bold enough to be in her presence in the first place was amusing to her. "listen here, kazuha," her voice got more subtle and hushed, as they were currently surrounded by passing students who crowded them, she wanted it so only this kazuha girl could hear.

"in this school, i run the student body, i have my connections and sources, everybody here- they love me. so don't get in my way, got it?" she growled under her breath, the whispers of the students around them had yunjin more riled up, she could hear the rapid heartbeat of the other. who was flustered by the whole ordeal. just less than 2 hours ago, kazuha was clutching her book bag strap with ease as she made her way through the school gates, a bright smile curving her lips. and now she was butting heads with the popular girl, how could today get worse than it was?

kazuha nodded without haste, the bell snapped her back into reality, sneaking in another apology and scurrying off to class. an irked yunjin watched from her from afar.

after that, kazuha got reminded of her run-in with yunjin every single time they passed each other in the halls. either it was dirty looks or eye rolls, all it did was anger kazuha more with each passing second of the day. so much so that she vowed to be just as popular- if not more and better than yunjin.

which brings us to the current time.

kazuha kept her vow, if anything, she exceeded it. with her visuals and good grades, she easily became one of the popular students. she garnered attention from the teachers and even students from neighboring schools, people loved her. this did not affect yunjin's reputation as she still had held strong to her title of the so-called "popular girl", but this only made her more enraged and jealous.

"so, what is the deal with you and yunjin?" garam was a friend of kazuha, and although younger, she quickly became a close friend and wingman for the troubled girl. she sat backward in her chair to face kazuha, fiddling with her pencil, staring off into the distance. "she's just.." she began.

—

yunjin's knuckles began turning white from her strong grip on her crumpled paper. "is kazuha making you angry again?" a smug chaewon watched the girl throw the paper ball at her face, smacking right dab on her forehead. "ow! damn, that actually hurt!" the bobbed girl soothed the spot with her hand, "what did she do anyway to make you this pissed?" a groan rumbled yunjin's throat, balling and crumpling another piece of paper in the palm of her hand.

"..annoying."

kazuha said through gritted teeth.

"..be annoying."
