Black Heart (Book #1)

Chapter Eight

Kyung Mi's POV

Why was Kai acting so strange? Was I really that bad to sit by that he had to make up an excuse to leave the classroom? I get that he's the bad boy of school, but I thought he was having a breakthrough by talking to me. For just a split a second Kai could be caring, which I never thought he was capable of being that way. Within a second his personality can change in a second. And then he's cold again.

"That's you're thinking hard face. What are you thinking about?" My friend Park Hana asked. I stopped picking at my food to look up at her. She had been my friend for years. "Do I look like a bad person to you?" I asked. Hana chocked on her drink making me pat her back. "What makes you think you're a bad person? You're far from one. What made you think that?" She asked surprised. I shrugged my shoulders. "Just a haunch". I whispered.

"Who made you think that?" She asked now looking directly at me. "No body you would know. I was just seeing what you thought. I'm gonna head to the dance studio. I'll meet you in gym soon". I picked up my tray and dumped my food.

Kai's POV

Did I give Kyung Mi the impression that she was a bad person? She's far from a bad one. She's one of the sweetest girls I know. Kyung Mi is the only girl to even dare look at me. Let alone talk to me. Everyone else is afraid of me or of who I am. I'm the bad person here. Not Kyung Mi. If anyone is the bad person it's me. I didn't intend for my life to be this way, but somehow it has become my life. There's no way out of it alive.

"Hey, Kai are gonna eat or are you going to space out?" Chen asked grabbing my attention. "You can have my food. I'm going to go to the dance room". I said as I walked away ignoring my friends questions. At least until lunch is over I can dance my stress away.

Dancing was my escape from the world that is cruel. Everything about my life is dark. Hardly any light shines through on it. I once used to have a normal life. But my life now is all about survival.

When I entered the dance room someone was already there practicing. I was about to leave when the person caught my attention. The way the person was dancing captivated me. The way she moved was elegant and overall the dance was flawless. As if sensing my presence she turned around and stopped to look at me. Upon seeing who it was, I lost my footing in trying to hide, tripping on the mop in the process. I fell on my back with a thud.

"K-Kai?" Kyung Mi asked from where she stopped. I cursed under my breath. Way to go you pabo. "Are you okay?" She asked extending out her hand. I looked at her extended hand looking at her flawless face. "Yeah, I'm fine". I said my tone flat. I helped myself up looking at her small frame. She looked at her hand awkwardly before letting it fall to her side.

"Did you not hear that the studio was occupied?" She asked crossing her arms. I rubbed my neck embarrassed. "No, I uh, didn't. I was lost in my own thoughts to notice". I said looking away. Kyung Mi nodded before a smirk came to her face. "Never would have thought that Kim Kai would be embarrassed". Kyung me said looking up at me.

"I been embarrassed a bunch of times. It's not the first". I stated coolly. Just as I was about to walk away I felt a hand on my wrist. I froze in my spot before turning to face her. As I looked at her she retracted her hand away. "Do you think I'm a bad person? Because as soon as I sat down next to you in class you left". Nervousness laced her voice which tug at my heart. But that wasn't what hurt me.

"I don't think of you as a bad person. You're kind and you speak your mind". Kyung Mi really was a kind person. I took a step closer towards her leaning towards her ear. "If you know what's good for you stay away from me". I leaned back before walking out of the dance studio.
