I always hated Mondays, but this time I'm hating it so much more and for just one reason; there's no avoiding Kim Jinhwan anymore.

I had been ignoring his calls and texts all weekend but right now I had to face him. On top of that everyone wants to know what happened when we got lost and how we got through the nights. People were suspecting that we are an item by now, oh how wrong they are.

That's the one thing that will never happen.

"Kim Songyi, get your butt over here and tell us what happened last week" one of my classmates shouts as me excitedly.

I can't seem to avoid this situation either. But it's better if I tell them instead of having Jinhwan tell them complete lies or bug them with his thin line theory.

My best friend grabs my wrist as she pulls me to sit down next to her. "I heard you and Kim Jinhwan are dating now".

Curse the soul who told them that!

It's probably Jinhwan, I mean I'm almost sure that Jinhwan would tell them that. He's Kim Jinhwan the jerk after all, the guy who does everything in his power to ruin my life.

"Ah aniya, nothing happened. We just shared our food and slept, that's all. Nothing weird or special, just eating and then we fell asleep" I explain to my friend while the rest of our classmates surround us.

No they're not curious at all, no they would never be curious, why would they even be curious about anything. Note the sarcasm.

"You shared your food with him" she asks a little shocked. "That basically means that you two are married already, I mean everyone knows how you are with your food".

I'm a little offended to be honest, she makes me sound so cheap. I don't mind sharing my food but I mostly don't want to.

Suddenly the whole rooms turns quiet as they are focused on the door.

Let me guess, Kim Jinhwan decided to show up for school? Well how good of him to show up on time for once, it's just that I had been hoping that he would stay home. Since he's no stranger to skipping school.

"Yah Kim Songyi" his raspy voice calls out to me. "Why didn't you answer my calls".

Time seems to freeze- because after I blinked I realise he's now sitting on my desk, his side facing me as he turns his head around to face me giving me an annoyed look. By judging his face right now you could say that nothing has changed, but it did change. His face may scream annoyance- his voice has an hurt undertone.

I wasn't prepared for this yet.

Of course I saw this coming but I didn't think about what I should say to him. I just want him to leave me alone. But that's too much to ask for.

"Junhoe took my phone" I lie, however it's not unlikely for him to do such a thing. After all he's my annoying little brother. "you know what he's like".
