Survivor [EXO KAI]

Chapter 05

Melony's POV

It's been a few days since the incident with that stalker guy and Kai. I haven't seen Kai in school after that day. I started to get worry thinking it has to do something with me. But the best part is Nara never came to bother me again. Maybe she finally got tired of bullying me.

I'm not a person who cut classes but I don't have an interest on going to the class today. So I decided to come to the school garden. There's this oak tree in Parksang High. The reason why I love Oak trees is that they said Oak tree symbolize longevity, humble beginnings, patience, faith, power, endurance, and strength. I feel like I'm under some powerful spell whenever I'm around an oak tree. And I think it's a great place to relax and read a book. Currently, I'm reading Twilight. One of my favorite book. I've read this book more times than I could count but I never get tired. I was about to turn into the next page when I felt someone's presence beside me.

"Hey, Princess." He greeted. I knew that voice so well. It is Baekhyun. I turn to face him only to realize that he was already facing me.

"Hey."

"Do you come here often?"

"Not really. Whenever I feel distract or need to read." I shrugged looking at my book again.

"So you don't go to library?"

"I do. But I like here much more." I smile looking around. "I love the feeling when I'm around nature. Isn't it refreshing?"

"hmm."

He didn't say anything else so I started reading again. It's not an awkward silent though. Normally, I don't like people near me when I'm reading because it's kind a distracting but Baekhyun's presence didn't even bother me a bit. For some reason I love his company. In few minutes later he talks again. I lay the book in my lap before looking at him giving him full focused after hearing what he said.

"You are not going to ask me where he is?"

I know who he was referring to. But I don't know if it's a good thing. I mean we both make mistakes that day. I shouldn't have said that I don't want to see his face again. That was harsh. And I'm not a person who hold grudge around people. Whether they were nice to me or not I always forgive and let them go. That's who I was. Since I was little that's something my father taught me. That we always have to forgive and forget and be nice to everyone. Not because to show everyone we are perfect or anything. Just because we are humans. We are meant to make mistakes. It sometimes happens without our will. So letting go was the best we could do.

"Not really." I sighed. "I wish, I didn't shout at him that day. I'm such an idiot." Regret is something what I'm feeling at the moment. It's the feeling where you wish that you should have done better. In my case I should have been more careful of what I was saying. I know what I did was clearly wrong. I blame myself for what happened. Kai is a jerk. It's a fact that everyone's aware. But after what I've said I figured I'm no better than him.

"He must really hate me now. You know, I didn't mean when I said that I don't want to see him again. No wonder he wasn't showing up to school." My voice crack at the end. I didn't even know; I was holding my tears back until I felt them rolling down my cheeks.

"Hey, look at me." Baekhyun whispered behind me. But I look down trying to hide my tears shaking my head. "Please, don't cry princess. It's not that." It was like he was pleading for me not to. But I can't help. I try to hide it all these days but I couldn't. Maybe it's because I didn't want to admit it. Maybe it's because I really like him and no matter who he is I can't forget him or ignore him. It was impossible but that's the truth. I think I fell hard for him. I whipped my tears letting out a sniff.
