Double Trouble

49. First Ending

"Hey, Tae! Where are you going?!" she yelled behind me but at that moment, I couldn't afford to look at her face. As I kept running away until I reached a vacant area, I panted before shoving the vanilla ice-cream in my hand in my mouth.

It's cold.

I thought as a tear rolled down my face.

It's cold.

Another tear rolled my face.

It's really... cold.

And with that thought, I squatted before burying my head between my legs and chest as a stream of tears rolled down my eyes.

Looking at the text which Hiyori had sent me, informing that she had went home, I sighed.

After that big talk about having fun, I ended up staying away from her the whole day.

Looking up at the night sky, I started making my way out of the amusement park.

"It's 8 already. I hope Hiyori's not dead of hunger," I mumbled as I walked down our street. Taking out my keys as I walked towards my house, I saw someone standing there.

Walking closer, my eyes widened as Eun Byul turned her head towards me, "You took so long."

Gulping as I walked towards my front door without looking at her, I opened the door. With my hand still on the door knob, I asked with my back facing towards her, "Did you wanted something?"

"I want to talk to you." she said.

"Sorry but I can't right now," saying that, I started walking inside but she stopped me by grabbing my arm, "Tae, what's wrong with you-"

"Let me go," I cut her off, freeing my arm from her grip.

"Tae-"

"Not now, Eun Byul. I-I don't wanna talk to you right now. So just leave," I said in a tired manner with my head facing the floor as I once again started to walk inside.

"Just listen to me, Tae. If you're upset about me and Kai-"

"I said, leave!" I yelled as I turned around to her, "I don't want to listen to you now. I don't want to look at you. I don't want to talk to you so just leave already!" I yelled before walking inside and shutting the door tightly.

The next few days passed by quickly. Due to the exams, I was able to distract myself from the thoughts of Eun Byul. At school, I don't know how many times I had avoided her since then day.

It's not like I wasn't talking to her at all, I just kept the conversation between us very brief and walked away whenever she started talking about that day or about Kai.

What did she even saw in that guy?

He has nothing- Oh wait a second.

He's handsome, famous, fit and rich.

He's a perfect guy! If I was a girl, I would've also dated him.

Whereas a guy like me...

*sigh* I don't even wanna get started about things I lack.

Sighing again as I sat on my desk while tapping my fingers on it, I looked around. Recess was almost over and almost all students were back in class except Eun Byul.

Where could she be?

Just then, the classroom door slid open and Eun Byul walked inside. Looking aroundthe class for a moment as her gaze stopped at me for a split second, she walked up to the teacher's desk.
