Strange Hearts || Heeseung

"So where were you yesterday?" asked Heeseung and shoved sushi into his mouth. They were sitting on the ground of the new construction site, and Yuju was forced to watch Heeseung eat.

"I wasn't doing well," Yuju replied succinctly, and she didn't lie, she was not doing well. Heeseung did not respond to her answer and as his sushi continued.

"Oh, yes," Yuju rummed in her backpack and found what she had picked up yesterday for Heeseung.

"Here," she said, and handed Heeseung a little bit over.

"A Coke?" he looked at Yuju, confused, and she sat on her legs and explained to him:

"This is about yesterday, you wrote that there will be consequences for not bringing you sushi. It's also a limited edition and it cost a lot of money.

Heeseung laughed and put the cola in his backpack, he continued to eat and Yuju felt stupid watching him.

"Invisible girl," Heeseung muttered, Yuju gazing at him annoyingly with a questioning look.

"Come to school today at 10:00," he told her and was done with his sushi, Yuju was confused and stood next to Heeseung.

"Why?" she asked.

"You'll see," he said, putting on his backpack, and everything seemed suspicious to Yuju; why did he want to spend time with her?

"Why do you spend time with me?" she asked, but he had already disappeared. The photo was still on his phone, where it didn't belong.Why did Yuju come up with this idea to take the keys in her hands?

She went to the classroom, as lessons were about to begin, sat down in her seat and looked around for Heeseung. But he was sitting a long way away from her, with his friends, Sunghoon, Jungwon and Riki. They are also popular at school, but not as much as Heeseung.

All the girls from the class sat with them and laughed, and whenever many people were around, Heeseung ignored them. He forgot that she is his victim.

Yuju leaned against the window and waited for the teacher to arrive, she was sitting in the shade. Only when the teacher was there, did the empty places feel with their classmates.

"You will have for the rest of this month's Earth Studies hours in partner work a report for a sea creature of your choice. That means, you can stay in the earth science lessons wherever you want, but don't be too late for the next lesson. Remember, this paper will determine 80% of your entire year's grade in geography, and now you are all looking for a partner."

Partner work. In the whole school period, they had to do only 2 or 3 times partner work, but on those days Yuju was in the hospital and could do it herself. Yuju wondered why she's not in the hospital right now.

"Hi," said a female voice, Yuju looked up and saw a girl from her class, Kim Garam. She is the most popular girl of the year, every girl is attached to her and wants to be my friend. She is always well styled and even teachers love her.

"Hi." whispered Yuju. Kim Garam had never addressed Yuju before, but she had already thrown her smiling looks that made Yuju's heart beat faster.

"Shall we do the project together?"

Yuju didn't believe her words, why exactly? Why did Kim Garam talk to her? Exactly with the most unknown girl in the school?

The girl in front of her smiled at her and waited for Yuju's answer.Yuju checked briefly to see if her heart was still beating, and it did. So she didn't dream.

"Yuju," murmured Garam, jumping from one foot to the other. Did her class even know her name?

"Yes.."

"Garam Unnie! Shall we do the project together?" another girl from her class named Nako jumped around Garam and held her hand. Yuju was already prepared for a rejection from Garam to Yuju, Garam gave Nako a little smile.

"No," she looked at Yuju.

"I'll do it with Yuju".
