just another love story

freakish

I was almost at my first period with ten minutes to spare. I took this as a blessing to study the school map I was given.

but of course, good instances always come to a halt; and unfortunately for me, that tends to happen very quickly.

I was so close to setting foot in the classroom, when a girl walking out of it bumps into me.

I was shocked.

and felt cold.

and suddenly had a freakish pink glop dripping down my shirt.

"oh my god!" she said, eyes wide and panicked. her friend started laughing, at what I hope was at the girl and not at me. "i'm so sorry!"

I knew she was. I'm sure she was. but it was my first day there, and either I chose the wrong minute to head to class, or she chose the wrong day to drink a strawberry banana smoothie.

whatever fate decided, I wasn't happy with it.

"whatever, it's fine," I mumbled. I turned away and walked off. I didn't bother to really see how sorry she looked. I didn't care, because I was aimlessly walking around school with a disgusting stain in the middle of my chest. could life not give me any slack?

Im Changkyun, a strong hater of strawberries. he would much prefer to suck on a lemon than consume a strawberry.

in fact, he has been in that situation, and did it unhesitatingly.

doesn't like strawberries with a burning passion.

people began to joke about it, until someone finally directly asked him, "why do you hate strawberries so much."

he said, "they look like hearts with green hair."

it's been a mystery ever since.

(new book cover b/c the old one felt too bland. what to y'all think?)
