Kim Areum :

I ran to the bathroom and I felt my eyes watering. I couldn't see due to the blur. I locked the door and thank gosh it wasn't a bathroom with stalls. Before I knew it I started absolutely sobbing. I don't know why I am. I always hated Minho. And still do..I think.

We haven't even had that much chemistry but I'm here crying again. Maybe it's the fact that we knew each other since we were little. But that doesn't make sense right?

Flashback :

"Are you excited for your first picture day Areum?" My mom asked as I was so excited. "Yes!!" I spun around and giggled. My mom just smiled and patted my head. "I'm sure you are. Do you feel pretty today?"

"Yess!!"

"Okay, we should go now." She grabbed my hand and I skipped where she took me.

"Have fun at school today okay?" My mom spoke again as I entered my car seat. I looked out the window as my dad drove me to school.

Once my dad arrived, he picked me up from my car seat and walked to the front of the school.

"Okay. Haven fun and look very pretty for your picture." He spoke as he put me down. I looked up at him and smiled. "Okay! Bye bye!" I waved to him as he walked away.

I walked into the open gate to the school and was immediately greeted by my friends.

"LOOK ITS AREUM!!"
"HELLOOO"
"You're pretty today!!!"

It was all chaos. We were in kindergarten after all. I hugged my friends and we went to the playground since it wasn't time to go to class yet.

I sat on the swing with my friend on the other one next to me. We spoke, laughed, screamed, we did whatever kindergarten friends do.

I noticed a boy coming up to me. It was Minho. I was hoping he didn't push me off the swing again.

"Hey Areum. You're pretty today. But I don't like you." He randomly said and and kissed my cheek before going back to his friends.

"Oh my goodness Areum. That is Minho." My friend spoke up. I was confused on why he said that but honestly, I did look pretty and it was picture day after all.

I wanna stop crying but I can't. Thinking about child memories I surprisingly remember with Minho just makes it so so much worse.

Jang-mi is such a horrible b!tch. She stole the guy I liked in highschool, and now this? I can't help but cry. I suddenly heard someone knock on the door.

"Areum! Open this door. Please?" I immediately recognized that voice. Gosh. It was the person I didn't wanna hear or see again.

"Open this door please.. I know you're in here."

I didn't wanna reply at all. He was the last person that should've came here.

"Go away, Minho." I spoke coldly. There was silence for a moment. "I don't like her Areum. Please Areum." I knew he wasn't gonna leave any time soon until I finally came out and talk to him. He's so difficult.

I finally opened the door and he immediately hugged me. He didn't care if it was a girls bathroom I guess. I tried removing my arms but he just hugged me tighter so I just let it be.

"Areum, please forgive me."

I couldn't help but feel my eyes sting, my dried tears turning into new wet ones. He finally let go and was about to wipe my face but I stopped him.

I know I shouldn't have but I just walked away. I wanted him to stop me but he didn't. Maybe he knew it was just for the best.

I saw Nari quickly run out the cafeteria door and go to me as soon as she saw me.

"Areum? Are you okay? Why are you crying? I'll beat that dumb Minho!!!"

I just hugged her and continued sobbing. I trusted her with all my life. She's such an important friend to me. I noticed her hair was a bit messy and her hands were a bit red.

"What happen? Did u get in a fight?"

"Well I-"

Some dudes that weren't Minhos friends were carrying Jang-mi to the nurses. Her nose and mouth was bleeding.

I quickly smack Nari. "Nari! What did I say about trying to make people unconscious!" I scolded. I know I'm mentally not okay but that Jang-mi is literally physically not okay.

The day ended already and all I thought about was the situation. Nari dropped me off at my house instead of Minhos since my parents were back.

I entered the door and sigh as I closed it. I don't even want to think right now. I walked to my room as I see my parents look at me from the corner of my eye but I ignored it. I'm tired and I wanna sleep.

I changed into different clothes and got comfortable in my bed. I open my phone and see a bunch of text from Nari. I replied to a few and went to my contacts and immediately saw Minhos contact. I clicked on it wanting to block it but I couldn't.

I groaned and fought back tears. I hate the idea of his name being mentioned in any way.
