Before hyerin knew, it was already 3 months since her break up.

Their break up.

She had been so busy with her preparation for her high school end-of-year examinations. Or rather, she had been busying herself with studying.

" hyerin! Wait isn't that Dan- okay wait never mind. "

Youngeun, Hyerin's friend called her as she quickly dragged Hyerin away, making Hyerin face her. Too late, Hyerin had already seen everything -everything as in a girl planting a quick kiss on Daniel's cheeks. Youngeun's eyes darted around, silently cursing under her breath. Hyerin raised her brows as she let out a quick chuckle.

" you think I haven't got over him? "

Anyone who saw her laughing before would probably think that Daniel was never in her life. But everyone who knew her was still worried for her-The fact that she got super sensitive whenever someone calls Daniel; the fact that she would just stare into space anytime, anywhere; the fact that she seemed too strong.

Before anyone knew, their examinations flashed by as quickly as they approached. They were graduating already. It was soon their prom night, the night where everyone had been looking forward to ever since they were in year 1. But to be honest, Hyerin was definitely not in the mood of attending prom. In contrast, she absolutely dreaded seeing all the lovey dovey couples there. Couples. Her mind immediately directed herself towards him. Hyerin frowned as she shook her head,

Stop hyerin, you're nothing but pathetic.

She threw open her cupboard doors, revealing a range of boring and mundane clothes. Hyerin scrunched up her face in annoyance, she hadn't taken notice how clothes deprived she had been. Greeted by the strong winds from the air-conditioned mall just round the corner of her house, she was utterly surprised by how much the mall had changed within a short span of a few months. The mall felt so familiar, yet it seemed so alien to her as well. As disappointed as she was, Hyerin barely managed to convince herself that since the shops that held their memories were gone, it was truly time for her to move on and forget about him as well.

Both hands filled with bags, Hyerin walked out of the mall, contented with her haul. Prom was just a day away, and she, being her usual indolent self, decided to just have her hair done at the salon as well as her makeup done at a cosmetic shop that provided makeup services. They say time flies when you are having fun - except that Hyerin was definitely not having much fun. In contrast, she had been lazing in bed all day, she peered at her phone briefly, jumping up in surprise that it was already 3 in the afternoon, and prom was at 8 the evening. She scrambled out of bed hastily, before grabbing her dress and belongings, heading to the nearest mall to complete her agenda.

She was wobbling unsteadily as she awkwardly clicked towards where her class was in her six-inch killer heels. Hyerin kept her head down as she buried her face between her gentle curls with streaks of blue hair in between. Her eyelashes fluttered unnaturally when she blinked, her fingers gripping hard to her black-laced elegant knee-length dress. Hyerin was regretting so terrible for making the decision of going for a make over. Glancing around furtively,  she consoled herself as she spotted many of her peers much more over-dressed than her.

Just then, as coincidental as it seemed, some girl brushed past Hyerin hurriedly, bumping her shoulders a little too hard. Hyerin's eyes widened in horror as she fell backwards unsteadily, her hands flailing in mid-air. She reached out, trying to grab on to absolute thin air, in which even she was unable to fathom why she was making herself look like a complete idiot who was unfamiliar with heels, yet insisted to wear for the sake of aesthetic purpose.

Kill me now. What did I do to deserve this first hand embarrassment?
