The professor called out names for the assignment.
"Song BoRa - Kim TaeHyung"
I stood up from my seat, looking around the classroom for my partner. A boy at the far end of the class stood up, already looking at me, rather staring with an expressio...
The pain in my ears was now getting unbearable. I tried to look out of the window to distract myself but could only see clouds.
Then I tried to read a magazine which was in the pocket of the seat in my front. After reading for 5 minutes, I kept it back at its place. It was pretty boring.
Then I took out my earphones and plugged it into my mobile to listen to some songs. It ended up making me concentrate more on my ear pain.
I groaned, irritated by my ear pain, catching glares from my fellow passengers, especially the one sitting next to me. I bowed again.
Facepalming myself again.
I was not only irritated by the pain, I was already bored when the flight had only covered 1 hour, 13 hours still to go.
Suddenly I heard someone humming, I looked towards my left. The same guy was swaying his head and humming to the song he was listening.
I tried to notice his face. He was handsome without any doubt.
But had a shitty personality.
Seeing his side face made me think that I might have seen him somewhere, not knowing exactly. Trying hard to remember but I failed.
If I had ever met him earlier, I would have definitely remembered such an arrogant person.
I must be mistaken.
Suddenly I see a hand waving in front of my eyes. I snapped back from my thoughts
"Hey! Why are you staring at me?" He asked.
Deeply embarrassed, "Oh I am sorry, I wasn't staring but I was thinki.."
"What is your problem? Do you have a habit of doing things and then saying sorry every time? He spoke before I could complete, yet again.
My embarrassment had now turned into anger. This person is definitely going on my MOST ANNOYING PERSONS list.
"And do you have the habit of cutting other person and reaching conclusions before even listening to the whole thing?"
"As if listening to the whole thing would do any better."
I turned to my window again, trying to calm myself.
I could see only clouds, with Sun probably on the other side of the flight, sending its rays, making clouds a light orange in color.
Within next hour, I was probably struggling to keep my hand at the armrest, my irritation level already at heights because of the pain in my ears. Suddenly, he pushed my hand away from the armrest.
"Hey! What is your problem? This armrest is not just yours." I spoke, controlling my urge to punch him.
Calm down Bo Ra, Calm down!
He Smirked. "You can use the one you have" He pointed the one near my window.
I almost punched him. But then I thought against it. I didn't want to pick up yet another fight with him.
I pulled up my hoodie cap, plugged in my earphones, secretly wishing they help me this time and leaned towards the window.
Thoughts of how my life was going to change, against my wish, started to trouble me. Tears dripped down my cheeks.
The earphones and the songs were working now. Because this pain in my heart I felt was definitely more excruciating than the pain in my ears.
