신아랑 Shin Arang's POV

I woke up after the sound of my alarm went off on the nightstand next to me. I groaned and reached for my phone to snooze it, but my dumbass placed it at the edge of the nightstand, so I had to stretch further and further until…

THUD

I was on the floor after falling out of my bed. I let out another groan of frustration as I was rubbing the back of my head since it smacked against the drawer. 

I stood up and turned the alarm off before stretching my arms out wide, feeling the muscles in my body softening. A yawn escaped my mouth and I headed to the bathroom, which was outside, just the opposite of my room. 

I was done showering so I brushed my teeth. While I was doing so, I couldn't help but flex my muscles in the mirror. I mean, could you blame me? I looked so good.

I left the bathroom and headed back into my room to change into my new school uniform. This was my first day of high school in a new city. I moved here recently from Daegu. Don't get me wrong, I love Seoul, but I missed everything and everyone in Daegu. I chose to wear long pants instead of skirts because I didn't feel comfortable with skirts. Also because I'm a tomboy. . I also chose to wear this new pair of sneakers that I bought recently. 

After I grabbed my backpack and belongings - phone, wallet etc

After I grabbed my backpack and belongings - phone, wallet etc. I walked downstairs to the kitchen, hoping Mom made breakfast for me before leaving for work. Stepping foot in the kitchen, I saw a note on the fridge and read it. 

Arang, sorry Mom couldn't make breakfast today. Urgent work matters. There's orange juice and milk in the fridge, and cereal in the cupboard. I won't be home for dinner so don't wait for me.

I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt reading the note. I knew Mom's new job was important, but it ached to see that she didn't have time for breakfast together because of it. Just like old times. 

I just decided to drink a glass of juice without any breakfast since I wasn't in the mood for it. I plugged the earphones into my ears and played my playlist.

I was about to pour it, but I had other plans

I was about to pour it, but I had other plans. I placed the glass back in the cupboards and brought the carton of orange juice with me. I'll buy a new one later. 

I grabbed the house keys and left the house, locking the door behind me. 

I walked to school while drinking the juice and listening to music in my ears. 

Upon arriving, I saw a bunch of students walking around, running around, basically, they were everywhere. 

I already had my earphones removed, but I still had orange juice in my hand. 

While I continued making my way in the school. Eyes suddenly were aimed and locked on me. Of course, they would. I was the brand new kid of Tdoong High. 

I could feel the air suddenly getting hotter with their breaths as they started whispering about me. Some students were complimenting my looks so I flashed a wink at them whenever I heard it. I loved seeing them get flustered and squealing. 

While I took another sip, I felt somebody resting their arm around my shoulders, hugging me. I almost spilled my drink because of it. 

"The King of the Dead has finally arrived." She said as I removed her arm. 

"Ha-ha. Very funny, Dubu." I sarcastically fired back, taking another sip of my juice. 

Dahyun walked with me as we headed to my locker. Alright, let me explain. 

Kim Dahyun was my cousin from my paternal side of the family. She had an older brother, Myung Soo, but he sadly passed from cancer when we were two. I was basically the closest thing to a sibling for her. But when my da–Soo-hyun left after the divorce, I immediately cut off all ties with Dahyun and her family. I didn't want to be associated with anyone related to Soo-hyun. So this was the first time in a long while since I last saw her. 

"Why have you been dodging my calls and texts?" She started her interrogation. 

"You know very well why." I replied coldly and I finished the remaining juice left. 

Dahyun shook her head in disappointment. I couldn't care about her feelings because mine died along with my empathy. 

"Seriously? So you're willing to go to extreme lengths because of him?" Dahyun snapped back at me. 

Extreme lengths? Please, this was me being fucking rational. If I was extreme, I would be buried underground already. 

"You're just like your dad." Dahyun added, which infuriated me. 

I grabbed her and pushed her against the lockers, staring into her eyes. 

"I'm not like my dad. And I'm not your cousin. She died the moment he stepped out of my life. So shut your mouth and get out of my face before you get hurt." I snapped at her with a stern threat before leaving her there, heading to my locker. 

Fucking bitch. Last thing I needed was a fucking reminder of that asshole.
