An Yujin blankly stared at the pebbled road in front of her.
She sat on a lone wooden bench in the middle of who knows what, she too didn't know which end of the town she took herself. All she knew was that she would rather be anywhere else but home right now.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew itself past the girl, almost blowing the skirt she wore upwards if it weren't for her holding it down. The wind chimes of the small wooden store behind her blew, playing high pitched tones.
Everything felt heavy.
Her head felt heavy as she hung it low and so did her arms that were now laying limp on both of her sides. Her shoulders held the straps of her bag and it felt like she was carrying bricks. It was as if she could sink into the bench at any second.
"I figured that I'd find you here."
She turned to her side where a boy slowly walked his way up to her. She tried to wave him off by giving the most uninterested look she could muster before turning her attention back to the rice paddy that was just at the other side of the road.
Despite that, she still could see him continue his steps towards her.
"How did you find me?" Yujin asked, her tone mirroring the annoyed look on her face.
"I just followed where you ran off too after school. Didn't take long to see you just sitting here." The boy replied, sitting down by the edge of the bench and making sure that there was a considerable distance between themselves.
"Well, you can leave me here. I'm not in the mood for any games. Not even in the mood to head home either." The girl replied sharply, leaning herself back against the bench.
"It's about the science test, isn't it?" Asked the boy.
"Of course it is! I failed...gosh, why do I have to be so dumb?.." Yujin lashed out into the cold air. Her lips pursed in annoyance as she placed her hands over her eyes before groaning and then whining out in annoyance.
"Then you should've studied harder." The boy snarkly answered, placing a leg over his knee.
"Darn it, (YN)! Do you want me to hit you?" Yujin asked out in sheer anger in her tone yet the boy next to her didn't seem to be scared in any way.
"Yah An Yujin, look at me." (YN) told her as he turned his body towards her.
"W-what? Why would you ask me to do that? I told you I'm not in the mood!" She replied, crossing her arms to refuse looking at the boy.
"C'mon, it'll be quick. Trust me." (YN) urged her.
"No." She sharply replied.
"Pretty please?" The boy placed his hands together, pleading her.
