Lie. Lying. Liar.

I resent all these words. I'm able to see them. Strangely I can see lies.
How?

I don't know.

I obtained this ability as I started to realize it when I was in middle school, the physical body of a lie. Everytime people lie, they have this aura. Dark aura. I can see the darkness of that person when they're lying as they passed by me, looking all innocent, trying to keep their mask up for a show. Covering the painful truth for own satisfaction or to avoid trouble. Which type of liar are you?

;and that's when I stop trusting people, even my parents. Although I can see lies, I can't hear the truth, therefore I chose not to believe.

I like catching people's lies. I like when I could find their weakness.
But I wonder, if I can't see the lies of the person I love the most.

That night was cold, it made me shiver even though I wore layers of jackets. It was 7 pm where I just finished my work shift after school. Knowing the danger of a high school girl standing alone in the night, I couldn't care less. Because, I really don't care what will happen to me. I am tired of this world and myself. I am tired. I blinked my eyes hard from the light of the store that's facing towards me. I sometimes visit convenience store to buy some snacks for me to eat in the weekends. I stood at the corner and waited for my cousin to pick me up. The wind was really cold but my short straight hair didn't bother flying around my face.

"Excuse me" I turned around to find where this voice is coming from and a tall guy frowned at me. I looked around at my right wondering if he was talking to somebody else. There was no one, and he continued to stood by my side.

"Uhh...me?" I pointed at myself, raising my eyebrows. Excuse me what? I'm totally off the sidewalk, he can just pass by.

He then turned his frown to a smile. "Hehe, why are you taking this seriously? I just wanna talk to you" He's Jungkook, a nice guy. He's older but he's a kid. I admit he's handsome and Jungkook is really easy to talk to. He would make any new friends in school with teachers and also dongsaeng.

We're not that close to have a chit chat and I'm quite an introvert, So I left him quietly but quickly. Because I really don't like to socialize with someone popular. I guess I watched too many dramas. If I get involved with someone popular, I'll get bullied or something like that. Yeah right, those things only happen in dramas. Jungkook is probably in the list of 'Who to talk to' of all of the students because he's a student role model that's good at everything, pair with a full experienced grown man.

"Hey! Sora!" he shouted my name and I stopped. I looked back and gave him the 'what else do you want' face.

Instead, he giggled and came closer to me. "Do you want to know why I want to talk to you?" He put his hand on his hips, seemed like he wanted my attention.
