My Knight Princess | JK

TWELVE

I felt
Soulless
Empty
Disappointed

I walked out endlessly from the stadium. With plain white tee, taekwondo pants, backpack hanging on my right shoulder and almost fall, messy hair and watery eyes, my mind also was out somewhere. I didn't really sure where it was.

I looked up to the sky. The mighty sun shining brightly heated up the morning. The clouds gradually moved and some of them hid the most part of the sun. I sighed again. It was still early to back home. And even I did so, no one would be home to comfort me. Omma and appa must be enjoying their day at Jeju now. While me?

Huh.

I saw a bus stop and managed to sit there. I still absorbed in my thoughts even there was a boy maybe at my age there looking at me who looked like a trash. Just who cares? I just too tired to think about anything. Even to think about what had happened just now made my head spun.

I still didn't know where to go and of course I've been thinking about how to avoid Jungkook. It was really a shame. Jungkook will tease me for the rest of my life. Ouh, glad he didn't come today.

The bus was approaching and I weakly stepped into it without thinking anything.

"Hey student, you need to pay first."

I blinked my eyes a few times. Yeah, the bus driver made my brain started working for after awhile. Then, I rushed to look for my bus access card. I checked my pocket and bag but it was nowhere to be seen. It been ages I didn't use bus.

"Ahjussi, I will pay for two."

I didn't really turned my head to the male voice owner. He maybe the one who sat with me at the bus stop. I am too tired to think about him.

"Thank you." I mumbled, zipped up my bag and walked towards the seat.

Sh*t! Full!

What a miserable day!

***

My legs were numb even I only stood there for 3 minutes. I really felt weak now.

Suddenly

"Hey, there's empty seats."

The same boy tapped my shoulder. He grinned too. I looked at the seats that he pointed out. Yeah, two vacant seats.

Why he must tell me that?

Without thinking much, I took the seat after the window and he sat beside me. He still smiling and I turned my head away. He is nice but I didn't have the mood.

Sorry boy.

I leaned my head against the window.

Thinking nothing.

I was really upset and sad. But I couldn't cry. I just wanted to sleep and forget what had happened today.

Flashback just now
*third people POV

"Kim Byeol, I am really sorry but you will not participate in the tournament today." The coach seemed in guilt too.

Byeol couldn't process what she had heard. "What are you talking about?"

"You know, it's complicated and I am really desperate. I am really sorry, Byeol. But I just want you to know that you're really the best student that I ever had." He held Byeol's shoulders. He knew that the girl must be really heart broken.

"But coach.... I..." Byeol hang her head low. She felt betrayed.

Suddenly another student approached them. "Coach, the staff want to see you."
