At lunch, Cam and Iseul sat outside. Cam watched as Iseul sadly crunched away on her carrot sticks, he followed her eye line to see her looking at Yungyu sitting with his friends. He groaned and snapped his fingers infant of Iseul's face. "Stalking him isn't gonna help you heal" he said fiddling with the lettuce that poked from the side of his sandwich.
Iseul glared and threw a carrot stick angrily. "Stupid boys, I should've listened to you" she mumbled leaning onto the tree behind her. Cam let out a loud cackle, "please, I've never see you smile so much with a person. It doesn't matter what I said, Izzy you can't deny it. He made you unbelievably happy, and it's hard to let that go." Cam said casually giving her a pity smile. Iseul looked once more. Half of her was undoubtedly furious with his childish reasoning for breaking up with her. The other half still trying to figure out why he really did what he did. "It was just so sudden and random. I was caught off guard by the entire thing." she sucked in breathe remembers the text she received that night.
"That'll do it...hey, I offered to beat his ass for you and you continued shoving chipotle in your face and sobbing" Cam said shuddering at the memory of his closest friend. Iseul winced also remembering her fragile state at the time. "Did you sign up to tutor this year?" Iseul said changing the subject, Cam gagged at the mention of the after school job. "Sadly, yes...Im assuming this is your way asking for a ride home?" he said looking over to the girl. Iseul gave him a sheepish smile and nodded. Before Cam could complain, the bell rang sending the tw running to their classes.
After school, Iseul sat at the table in the library, filling out many papers for differing classes. "Iseul! How was your summer?" the librarian asked putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. Iseul smiled and nodded, "pretty good, thank you for asking Mrs.Kim." Iseul said, Mrs.Kim looked suddenly to the entrance of the library. "Oh! That should be your student" Mrs.Kim said, leaving the cart full of books behind rushing to the doors. "Miss. Hwang, get over here!" Iseul internally cursed before slamming her science book shut. She got up making he way up to the libarian, Iseul stopped in her tracks after seeing Yungyu standing awkwardly next to Mrs.Kim.
"Hey." Yungyu said shifting from one foot to the other, Iseul's jaw tightened. "I can't tutor him." Iseul said stomping back to the table grabbing her backpack. "Iseul-" Yungyu said after excusing himself from Mrs.Kim who stood in shock from Iseuls sudden rage she had never seen before.
"Izzy! Please, wait" Yungyu said chasing after her as she walked in the now empty halls of the school. She turned sharply shoving a finger harshly into Yungyu's chest, "you cannot call me that anymore." she said almost spitting from anger. Yungyu's face softened as he nodded in understanding. "Iseul, I really need you to tutor me, please." he said grabbing her wrist gently. Iseul let out a sarcastic laugh, "why the hell would I help you?" she said. Yungyu frowned at her words but continued nonetheless, "you're the only person that made learning easy for me...the science test you helped me study for is the best grade I've ever gotten in science." he said Iseuls mind flashed to summer. She helped Yungyu study for a science test he had previously failed the day before school ended.
Iseul laid on Yungyu's bed, Yungyu's hand tangled in her hair. "How many bones does the adult human have?" she asked looking above her to meet Yungyu's face. He thought for a moment before answering "206" Iseul nodded humming confirming Yungyu's answer. "Kiss" he whined Iseul sighed leaning up and kissing him quickly. Iseul continued to asked Yungyu questions for an upcoming biology test. Yungyu insisting after every one he got right he should be rewarded a kiss.
"Gyu, you keep getting them wrong we are using the flash cards." Iseul said sternly sitting up and grabbing the stack of note cards neatly placed on his night stand. Yungyu groaned and fell back into his pillows, "I don't wanna use your nerdy flashcards, I just want to kiss my beautiful girlfriend" he pouted giving Iseul his best puppy eyes. In return she scoffed and flicked his forehead. "I decorated these 'nerdy' flashcards just for you and your short ass attention span" Iseul said this made Yungyu examine the flash cards more seeing tiny cat and hearts drawn in one around the phrases.
He smirked and pulled Iseul into his chest. "Thank you, pretty" he mumbled into her hair before pressing a short kiss to the top of her head. Iseul said something back however, what she had was mumbled by Yungyu's chest. Yungyu hummed taking the flashcards from that were held loosely in her hand and flipped through them. "Ready?" Iseul said picking her head up with a goofy smile on her face. "Always, pretty" Yungyu said handing the stack of cards to the girl.
Iseul blinked memory away, Yungyu stared with remorseful face. "Iz-Iseul, I just really need you to help me" he said loosening his grip on her wrist. Iseul eyes began to sting, a head ache started at the front of her head. She knew all too well, if she stayed they she would run the risk of Yungyu seeing her cry...again. "Hey,hey,hey- Iseul I'm sorry, please don't cry" he said he panicking looking around making sure no one was to see them. "You need me now? You're so pathetic...I can't believe you" Iseul said whipping around and walking away as fast as she could.
Yungyu stood there in shock. The sinking feeling growing worse by the minute in his stomach. He wanted to be angry with her, he really did. But after all, isn't he the one who caused this? Yungyu licked his dry lips and sat down on a near by bench, processing what the girl had just said to him. Once he was able to regain his breathe, he went to the library to explain on the twos sudden disappearance, however the library was locked and showed everybody else had gone home for the evening.
Walking home Yungyu passed the park. He looked to the swings that were still swinging slightly from kids that were playing previously. He hesitantly walked over sitting on the swing. Suddenly, all his memories from that night came rushing back.
