_Monday Crystal Academy Music Class._ “Leave me alone, Kanye. "Areum grumbled. Ever since she entered music class, he's been pestering her. Kanye rolled his eyes," Whatever. Anyways, I didn't see your crush today. Didn't he come? " "How would I know?" Areum rolled her eyes, trying to be nonchalant. But she was actually worried. 'Is he okay? You're not supposed to worry, Areum! No, he's still my friend. ' Kanye pursed his red lips, "You should have hit on me, beautiful. I wouldn't have rejected you." He said jokingly. Areum ignored him. He patted her head, "It's okay. Rejection helps you move on, darling." Areum placed her head on her table, "I don't see myself moving on anytime soon." Kanye chuckled and that was when Mr Blooms, the teacher, entered the class. They all sat properly. "Good morning class." "Good morning. " " I hope you are all preparing for your auditions. It's by Thursday."" Yes sir! " " Good. Let's start today's cl
"It's been a week. And my life hasn't been the same." Areum muttered to herself, slumping on her bed. She breathed out in frustration. "How long am I going to live like this?" She murmured pathetically. Yes. It's been a week. And it hasn't been the best to be honest. The fact that she sees him every single day, yet can't even smile at him, makes her heart hurt like ever. Every time she sees him, her mind would go back to what she'd heard and that motivates her to keep her distance. That's what he wants anyways. And he didn't even bother to ask her why she's acting that way towards him. Maybe it's because that is what he wants to happen and maybe because she's been avoiding him. He's hanging around with his chicken-like best friend.Hmp! Areum grumbled, kicking off her sneakers. Anyways, she's been spending more time with Kanye. He's the best type of friend anyone could ever ask for. Unlike Riel... Who would definitely jeer at Areum if she knows all that is go
Areum closed her book and stood up from the bed. She went down to the kitchen and poured herself apple juice. She leaned on the counter and sipped the cold juice. She has auditions tomorrow and she hasn't even prepared. In fact, she could barely focus on the book she was reading. Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she brought it out to check. It a call was from Kanye. "Hi, Kanye." "Hey, beautiful. How are you?" "Very fine. Are you home yet?" "Well, not home but yeah." Areum nodded, "Prepared for tomorrow or you're too busy thinking?" Kanye asked. Areum rolled her green eyes, "I wasn't thinking. Who cares? "Kanye smiled," Are you sure you don't want me to talk to... "" Don't you fucking dare, Kanye. You don't even know him. "" Well, probably not. But I think you misunderstood. " The Arizona he knows can't say that. " What does it matter? Just leave it, Kanye. Stop reminding me of him. "Kanye hummed " Hmn . I'll take you out tomorrow, okay? "" Alright. Goodnight. "" Goo
Kanye was leaning on his car, staring intently at his phone screen when someone suddenly screamed so loudly in his ear. "Heyyyyy!" He jumped, the phone almost slipping off his hold. The person burst out laughing at his disorientated state. He turned to her with a glare, "What was that for, silly?" She pouted," Payback! That night you almost gave me a heart attack! " Kanye smirked, flicking her forehead playfully," Silly rat. " She smiled, leaning on his car. " At least you laughed a bit. What's up? "Kanye teased her and she smiled at him," I can't be sad forever can I? They say rejection..." " Helps you move on."Kanye said, finishing the statement as she did. She nodded, "But it's hard though." Kanye looked at her, "You haven't spoken to him at all?" "Why should I? " She murmured. He made a face," But I... " " Don't even tell me anything, Kanye! "She suddenly snapped at him. He sighed, holding her hand
Areum quickly looked back at the waterfall in an attempt to ignore him. Her hands clenched on her laps as he gently took his seat beside her. Areum made sure not to look at him. Even though she's missed his cute face, she's so sure that if she looks at him, she'll break down into tears and she didn't want that. She has to show him that she's not a weakling. "Beautiful, isn't it?" Arizona was the one that spoke. His voice was so cool and casual and Areum suddenly realised she's missed his voice, his smile, his everything! The way it makes her heart flutter, the way it makes her stomach flip weirdly... "Hmn. "She merely hummed despite her feelings . Arizona turned to look at her but she kept her gaze ahead, a stoic expression on her beautiful face. " Why are you here? " " Its none of your concern. "She said with a cold tone. Arizona looked at her in devastation," Why are you doing this to me, Areum? "He questi
"Hey, beautiful. What's kicking? Why are you so bright this morning?" Kanye grinned, plopping on Areum's bed. Areum giggled, "Oh! Is it that obvious?" "Uhh, Yeah. "Kanye replied," So give me some gist. " He pried. Areum grinned," Well, yesterday after school, I bumped into Arizona. " Kanye's smile faded," Oh? " Areum nodded, beaming happily," I know right? He explained everything to me and we made up. " She then added with a cackle," He said he loves me too. Oh my God! " Kanye said," Wow. He came back sooner than I'd expected. But I'm happy for you, beautiful. At least I'll get to see your pretty smile more often. "He finished with a grin and Areum laughed," Oh, shut up! " Kanye laughed too but inside, he wasn't feeling so happy. Why? If Arizona dates her and still does the THING, she'll never forgive him. Ugh! He shouldn't have taken up the task. Kanye didn't want his brother nor his best friend to get heartbroken in
The door bell rang and Areum stood up to get it, although the maid was faster. The door opened and Arizona took a step in, his electric blue eyes searching the beautiful living room before they finally landed on Areum, who stood there, grinning. He smiled, walking up to her, "Hi." Areum giggled, "Hi." The two paused in an awkward silence and it made Areum chuckle, "You're late." "I had a visitor. "He responded," So, where do you suggest we go? " Areum pursed her lips," Let's just stay here and maybe talk. I miss talking to you. " She smiled. Arizona smiled, holding her hand gently," You're talking to me right now. " " Duh. "She rolled her eyes and he laughed." Come on! "She beamed and pulled him along. Her room was like any other teenage girl's room. Neatly arranged and it has a nice smell, just like her. The plain white walls were decorated with glittery music note stickers and there were some paintings on t
"Let's go to the park tomorrow! Or maybe that museum I wanted us to go!" Areum grinned in excitement as she and Arizona descended the stairs. "Anywhere you want. "Arizona smiled softly. She smiled back at him. Just then, the two heard a voice calling," Areum? " Areum looked up and her eyes lit up as she rushed to embrace him," Dad! " Mr Kyung smiled at her, patting her hair," How are you, daughter? " " Fine daddy. You didn't come home last night. I missed you. "She pouted cutely, making her father laugh," I'm sorry my girl. " Arizona stood on a spot, watching the two. His heart clenched and pounded at the same time. He hates himself for this. " And who is the young man? "Arizona heard Mr Kyung ask. He looked up, their eyes meeting. Areum beamed at her father, going to Arizona and she pulled him before Mr Kyung. " Dad,this is Arizona. He's... ", she felt her face flush and Arizona did his best to suppress his s
