reprieve for the neverland

5 - 全てが忘れう!! [ Forget Everything ]

Ari overheard Kyuhyun causing a nervous shiver ran down her spine. Surprised anyone was still here at the school.

"No, why are YOU still here?! It's not like you're here to do anything else in after school hours." Ari shouted back in retaliation as she turned around to completely turn her attention to Kyuhyun as her face glistened against the bright rays of shine remaining from the setting sun.

Meanwhile, Kyuhyun was stood by the entrance of the door, casted a shadow against himself, giving him a dark yet recognizable silhouette from a cold glance away.

"I just prefer to be alone. Is that oh-so-wrong now in your books, hah? Fuck you.." He scoffed laced with sarcasm and feigned surprise, then he leaned against the entrance's doorframe and placed the back of his hand upon his forehead dramatically.

Ari stood there, obviously pissed by his continuous mocking of her... Somewhat accurately, wondering what was the matter about her that made him so rude towards her before an obvious yet stupid answer finally came to mind within her. Kyuhyun's claim of Ari having an ex-partner named "Ryeowook".
"But why over him?"

Ari contemplated in confusion as she stared at Kyuhyun, stealing his glare as both made eerily cold eye contact, attempting to read the expressionless eyes of nonchalance Kyuhyun coated his thoughts behind.

The classroom was silent, creating a suffocating atmosphere within the room as both kids try to read the other's minds.

Before long, both realized they had been staring at each other for so long, Kyuhyun shattered the silence with a sudden question, or rather an attack. Asking with a blank smug plastered on his face, "You still remember Ryeowook, right? Your ex?"

The brown irises of Ari's eyes dimmed dark as she heard another mention of that name once again. Someone she hated mentioning that promised would come back to her. She hated each and every mention of him coming from Kyuhyun.

"Why doesn't he still believe me?!" Ari thought to herself whilst her head began heating up out of the never-ending infuriation of Kyuhyun's insistence and lack of trust towards Ari's words amidst her brainstorming for another convincing lie or whatever she can think... Or maybe just a short answer insisting on his insistence.

Clenching her fists as to keep her composure in check, she replied back, "I don't. Seriously. I never remembered a single man named that in my whole life. So cut it off with your annoying ass, alright?"

Breaking the tension, Kyuhyun spoke once more.

"We're both alone now. You can be honest about it, you know? No one's gonna know. And... After all, He means a lot to the both of us."

No one's gonna know.

Those words echoed in Ari's mind. She knows he doesn't understand but, her mind relentlessly desires to admit it all. Just to lose the feeling of frustration.

Ari took one more deep breath before sighing it all out, letting her mind calm down before admitting, "You ask to be honest right? Fine. It's true. I do remember Ry-" she paused, covering her mouth with her palm. Before continuing furtherm Yelling angrily, "Actually, can't you just shut the fuck up? I'm so done with you!" whilst she placed down her palm that just covered her hand towards the window.

"Wait- AH!"

Running towards Kyuhyun, she took the collar of his shirt, raising her fists before thrusting it towards Kyuhyun's face that widened in utter shock.

It was.. certainly baffling for Kyuhyun.
"How, and why did she suddenly hit me hard like that?!" He thought to himself as the girl quickly went back to her bag and made a run for it. Letting Kyuhyun be truly alone as blood drooled on his nostrils.
