Riel rolled her eyes, "Why are you so excited? It's just a visit to the library." Areum sneered at her, brushing her long blonde hair, "Shut up, Riel." Riel groaned, sitting up on Areum's bed, "Why are you hanging out with him anyways? He's a nerd." Areum frowned at Riel's words, "And so?" Riel pouted, "What do you think our friends are going to say when they see AREUM KYUNG hanging out with a mere nerd" Areum's face turned defensive and annoyed, "He's not a MERE nerd, Riel. Watch what you say. He's human too. And I don't care what our friends think or say. It's their cup of coffee, not mine! So ✋stop bothering me, Riel." She couldn't stand Riel downgrading Arizona like that. Riel scoffed, "You're going yell at me because of him. I guessed he used some sort of shamanic charm on you." "Just keep it to yourself, Riel. I've never disapproved of who you choose to befriend. Why pester me?" Areum asked annoyingly. Riel ignored her,and Areum
Entering the living room, a deep frown befell Arizona's face. The scent.. He knows only one person with such scent. He frowned harder, 'She's home'. Instead of being happy like any other child would be, he grew annoyed instead. He decided to go into his room to avoid bumping into her or something. As he walked past a particular door, he heard loud screams... More like moans, "ah! Harder! Yh.. Right ther..oh fvck!" Arizona clenched his jaws,both in disgust and anger. She's at it again. Bringing numerous men to sleep with,neglecting him like he's not in existence at all. After ruining his life. After almost making him lose all he has. After almost separating him from his family. The recollection made him even angrier as he barged into his room and slammed the door. "ahhh!" He heard her distant scream and he vexed out his anger by throwing a hard punch unto the wall behind him. "Dang it!" He cussed, his mind engulfed by rage as he threw ano
"Areum!" She heard a familiar voice call her name. She turned and she smiled in relief. He's here. He rushed up to her, "I'm so sorry. You must have been here for so long. Gosh! I'm..." Areum held his hand,stopping him by saying, "It's okay, Ari. Are you good?" Arizona nodded, "Yh. I'm fine." Areum nodded. She noticed his bright blue eyes aren't so bright. He looks different... Downcast... "Ok. That's nice. I was actually worried when you didn't come..." Areum said to him as they walked over to the small ice-cream kiosk. Arizona blinked, feeling a tiny flutter in his heart, "Y.. You were worried about me?" Areum sent him a strange look, "Why not? We are friends after all. And even if we aren't, it's good to care for others." A smile spread on Arizona's initially black face, "You are different you know." Areum made a funny face, "Different? How do you mean?" Ari smiled, "Well,girls in your shoes are usually proud and pompous an
Arizona left the house since Ella didn't come over. Usually, she comes every morning and they go to school together. But she's been somehow ever since her return. He'll have to talk to her. He took a taxi to school. ⭐⭐⭐ Areum was sitting in her seat... Obviously. She's wondering why Arizona isn't here yet. They have Biology class together. "Why are you looking around?" Riel, whom she sat behind, rolled her eyes. Diego, who sat next to Riel smiled, "Obviously looking for her Prince charming, Arizona. Right?" Areum blushed, "Wrong!" Riel scoffed but Areum ignored her. Just then, he entered the class. The classmates noticed him but didn't make a big deal out of his entrance. It's just some nerd boy. Except for Areum. Her beautiful face lit up immediately he stepped into the class. His bight blue eyes behind his specs wandered around and met Areum's. Their hearts skipped a beat simultaneously. Areum smiled at him and he smiled back. Meanwhile..
Luella walked into the class,her eyes roaming around. They fell on Arizona and Areum, who were working and chatting. She frowned and walked over to her seat. She'd seen the text but decided to ignore it. Arizona watched Ella sit down and bring out her book. She was paired up with two other students. He sighed. Areum gained his attention, "Arizona!" He turned to look at her, "Yes, Areum?" She said, "Uh. I won't be able to come to the café today." She said. His face turned worried, "Why? Are you okay?" Areum nodded, "Yh. I just... I'm hanging out with Kanye. So..." She suddenly felt awkward saying it. Why? It's not bad... "oh. Ok." Arizona nodded, his concerned face fading into a blank one. "yh..." Areum murmured, looking down at her book. "Tomorrow then?" Ari nodded, resuming his work, "No qualms." ⭐⭐ She and Kanye went to a park. They had fun, chatted, played and ate. He's a very awesome guy. Since it's already pretty late, she didn
Evening Yul's Café. Arizona and Areum were working in silence. Yes. A very uncomfortable one at that. Areum wasn't talking, smiling or even looking at him, and he felt bothered. Why? When she even got here, she barely greeted him. Has he done something wrong? He couldn't bear this attitude anymore, so he asked, "Areum. Can I ask you something?" Areum didn't look at him, she only hummed. Arizona sighed, "Are you mad at me? Did I do anything wrong?" Areum looked at him, her green eyes narrowed dryly, "What makes you think so?" "I don't know. Are you okay though? You usually aren't like this. " Areum nodded," I'm good. Thanks for noticing me this time around. " The way she said it, made Arizona realize something had happened. He nodded and they continued to work. " Should we go out later this evening?"He asked suddenly, making her stare at him in surprise. He's never asked her out. Arizona felt his cheeks flame in embarrassment. She's looking at him like he
It wasn't good at all when Arizona got home. Because immediately he stepped into the living room, the sight that greeted him made his anger increase. Susan sat there, a man roaming his hands all over her as she giggled. Arizona clenched his jaws. 'Do not let your emotions rule over your mind ' he's always chanted in his mind anytime he sees things like this. As he made to walk away, he heard his mother call, "Arizona! You're home." Of course he didn't pay her attention. She smiled at him, "Why are you so late? Anyways. I decided to surprise you by coming home. Did you miss me?" "he sure did." Her newest lover smiled. Arizona felt angrier, "Did you bring him home so that you could mock me?" Susan chuckled, "No. I brought him home to relax. It's Melody's death anniversary soon." Arizona gaped at her. How can she say that so carefreely!? "Now you want to mourn her? When you killed her!?" Susan frowned, "She died herself, Arizona!" "No
Arizona was alone in his room, reading his robotics book when he heard the doorbell ring. He checked the time, wondering if Luella decided not to take her extra culinary classes anymore since she's here. She's the only one he's expecting. He decided not to go to school today, knowing he wouldn't be able to face Areum after what he'd done the previous day and he won't be able to avoid her beautiful eyes either. So he preferred to stay at home and miss her while moping in guilt. Arizona walked downstairs, running his long fingers through his already dishevelled hair. He reached the door and flung it open, expecting no one but Ella, but then... Her beautiful smile that never fails to make his heart beat weirdly came into view, her green eyes sparkling at him, "Hi!" Arizona blinked, "Hi... Hi." He stammered. To be honest, she's the last person he'd expected to be here. Areum smiled in admiration. He looks so much different.. First of all, he's not using his glasses.
