Leo... His name sent a shiver trailing down my spine. As soon as we had got in the car from the airport, I stuck my earphones in and turned the volume up loud. I didn't want to create a one-sided small talk conversation with Leo. It was already awkward between us as it is.

The atmosphere was intense already between us. I saw him staring at me with a devilish look in his eyes. I avoided his eyes. Looking for something to distract me from the pair of eyes that were continuously staring at me, I started listening to their new song, Rock Ur Body and mouthing the lyrics with passion.

"... I bam neomu seolleneun nal ireoke

duri hamkke gayo baby

I adjusted myself in my seat, feeling incredibly uncomfortable being so close to Leo. I guess it was because of how he acted towards me. For most of the journey, he played the awkward card; didn't talk to me, gave me the death glare when I scolded him, acted as though he had an eternal grudge with me. I tried to get on with him and help him as best as I possibly could and help solve any misunderstandings that happened between us, but he acted as though he didn't care in a way. That I didn't matter. That I was someone who could be pushed aside just so he could get past. Aish! He frustrated me so much!!

But what pushed me over the edge was that incident. How dare he! It makes my blood boil just thinking about it! I was so embarrassed. I wanted to dig a hole six feet under and bury myself in it.

Sometimes though... he reminds me of someone from my past. Someone I wish I forget. Someone I gave everything to only to be...

Calm down Honey... Deep breaths. Don't let HIM get to you. You are not the naive, weak girl you once were...
