and at that moment, just like any cliché drama, our eyes met.
her hazel eyes held so many wanders yet fear and i couldnt help but to just stare into it, an artpiece i must say. she reminds me of art, yes that's it. fragile, beautiful, unique.
instantly, she looked away, pulling her hand down.
" can i ask you something? "
" sure, go ahead "
" why are you always on the roof top? isn't it scary? "
for a moment, she kept quiet.
" if you consider that scary, you wouldn't live a day as me. "
my heart sank, i knew exactly what she meant. i wanted to get to know her, she seemed like a nice person.
we continued walking in the night, the sky surprisingly filled with stars ㅡ none of them shining as bright as her.
" can i have your number? "
" what for? "
" incase you try to escape going to school with me tomorrow "
" um, okay? "
" you seem so surprised "
" nobody has ever asked for my number since i shifted here. aren't you scared or disgusted by me? "
" why would i be? "
" i dont know, everyone hates me. im bad influence remember. "
" nah, not to me. "
" why? "
" because they judge you on what they see of you, not who you truly are. Aiko i dont know why you do all these ㅡ attention or just to relieve yourself ; but im sure you're wise enough to know what's good and bad for you. nobody would want the worst for themselves. "
at that point, we accidentally bumped into each other, a cigarette packet dropping from her pocket.
i instantly picked it up
" all these doesn't make you a different person. you're a great person, Aiko. i know of it. people just need to see that side of you, they just need to get to know you. "
with that, i handed her the cigarette packet. without looking me in the eye, she placed it back into her pocket, ensuring it was pushed to the end so it wouldn't drop out again. i saw her eyes turn watery and red. it was the truth.
" i believe everyone has good. " i ended.
she stopped walking and faced me
" people don't understand, they don't try to. i can't be bothered much either, but it hurts knowing everyone hates you. "
" i don't "
" you're different, mark. but by mixing with me you're bound to be judged and you'd get it worst with taeyong and yeri i don't think its a good idea for you to hangout with a per- "
i instantly covered her mouth. i knew what she wanted to say.
