"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!" Rin grumbled to herself as she power-walked to her house. Her hands were gripped tight into fists, and she ground her teeth together in anger. Even as furious as she was, tears managed to form in the corners of her eyes, one cascading down a part of her left cheek. Shaking her head, she wiped them away with her forearm. She couldn't allow herself to cry anymore. She's not that weak little girl that everyone used to know. And she refused to go back to those days of clinging onto someone and hiding.
Rin was definitely going to workout tonight and imagine the air as Len's face and swing at it until her arms are dead weight. Why couldn't he get it? She was a woman now. Practically an adult. If she wanted to talk to guys, she could. If she wanted to change her style, she could. It irritated her how much he was acting like her parent. Complaining about her clothes, what guy she talks to… she's sick of it!
Rin eventually neared the house and opened the front door quite abruptly, still frustrated within her thoughts. But it was so abrupt that Meiko jumped and tipped over her wine bottle on the kitchen counter, spilling almost over half of it on the floor. "Shit!"
"Ah, sorry Meiko! I didn't mean to scare you." She assisted her foster sister in cleaning up the mess with paper towels. During this Meiko noticed the teary-eyed Rin through her peripheral vision.
After throwing the wine-soaked paper towels away in the trash, Meiko put a hand on the young teen's shoulder. "Rin? Are you okay? Where's Len?"
It seemed this was the thing that broke the dam in Rin's mind that were holding back the tears. She collapsed into her arms and sobbed into her bosom. "I'm never getting a boyfriend! Len ruins everything."
Rin told Meiko (a lot of it sounded unclear because of her gasps and sobs) the events that happened prior, and she listened intently with an occasional nod or shake of the head. A wide range of emotions spanned the blonde girl's face: a smile from recalling events with Gakupo, furrowed brows and anger discussing the incident that occurred between her twin brother and him, and then sadness from her lost chance of love. After a few moments of silence, Meiko cupped Rin's face in her hands and gave a soft smile.
"Rin, you know how your brother is. He's used to always being your protector. It'll take him some time to realize you're not a little girl anymore, " As she spoke she wiped away a tear with her thumb, "He just cares about you. Let him know how you feel, and maybe he'll get it. And besides, you're a knockout. You will definitely win over a boy's heart soon so don't even worry about that."
Rin's heart warmed at her words and she gave her a hug. "You always know what to say, Mei. Thank you."
"Of course. Now go upstairs and channel your emotions through a workout."
Rin nodded with a grin and ascended the stairs to her room. Gakupo didn't know this, but she possibly, may have lied about going to the gym near her house. She knew that the membership there was way too expensive for Meiko to cover monthly, so she decided to do some home workouts during the summer to get rid of tummy fat. And she hadn't stopped since.
Thoughts of Gakupo fueled her energy as she did her cardio in her room. Was this the act of falling in love? Everything that she did, he was always on her mind. The way he laughed, smiled and looked at her made her feel… excited? Was that the right word? When he trailed his slender fingers down her arm at the gate, her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Rin wanted him to touch her more, all over.
Rin stopped in the middle of her jumping jacks and put her hands on her knees to catch her breath.
What was that thought? I want him to… touch me more?
A 'bing!' tone erupted from her phone on her bed.
She wiped the sweat from her palms on her shorts before checking her phone. It was a message from an unknown number:
[+82)10-894-XXXX]: hey girl
Rin furrowed her brows together and her fingers tapped on the screen.
[Rin:]: who is this ? -_-
As she waited for the stranger to reply she gathered some clothes and other necessities for a shower. Entering the bathroom, Rin set her clothes on the counter and began to strip off her sweaty workout garments. She decided against a shower and began to draw a hot bath before her phone emanated another 'bing!'.
She opened her messages and her heart skipped a beat.
[+82)10-894-XXXX]: its me gakupo. gumi gave me ur number.
is that ok? Or is ur bro going to freak out again lol
Rin stared at his message, not really sure how to respond. Come to think of it, she's never texted a boy before. Well, not a boy that she liked anyway. After a few minutes of thought she replied.
[Rin]: oh hi! _ im sry about my twin. It wont happen again. wats up?
Yes, good. Sound casual Rin.
She slipped into the bath, carefully holding her smartphone above the water. Normally the person she was texting would have to wait until after she was finished, but this person wasn't just any other ordinary person. This was her purple-haired prince and he hadn't given up on her yet! She stared at their conversation intently before he saw another message pop up.
[3Gakupo3]: nm just thinkin about u ;) wbu
Rin hid her face from the nose down beneath the water. She couldn't tell if her cheeks were hot from the bath or from him. She couldn't stop staring at his words. He was thinking about her? Does he like her too? This had to be a dream come true.
[Rin]: just relaxing in the bath rn~! ^_^ had a great workout session
so im soothing the muscles
Bing!
[3Gakupo3]: oh really..prove it
Rin nearly dropped her phone in the bath.
Prove it…? Like, take a picture?
Rin's heard of girls at school that take pictures for their boyfriends, in lingerie or cute outfits to make them happy. She could do that, right? Gakupo messaged her first, and he was thinking about her… he's completely interested. But does she want to completely expose herself to him like this? Through text? But would she ever get another chance like this with him? Rin couldn't risk that.
She pulled up the camera app and positioned the frame over her body. She made sure she covered her breasts with her arm and she tried to make the cutest kissy face possible. Rin snapped the picture and observed it. Technically she wasn't showing anything, just her face and part of her chest. Harmless.
Her thumb hovered over the SEND button.
She pressed it and shut her eyes tight. A couple of minutes passed until she heard another,
Bing!
[3Gakupo3]: wow ur so cute~~. could u maybe show me more ?
Rin's heart was slamming against her chest.
"M-more?" She whispered, her cerulean eyes wide in surprise. Some time passed while she debated with this, until she heard another bing! from her phone.
[3Gakupo:3] if not its ok. tht was probably weird to ask sry
Rin bit her lip. She was nervous; Rin never exposed herself to anyone like this before. But he seemed really sincere. Her fingers went away at her screen:
[Rin]: no its ok. just a sec~ (^-^)
Once again with the camera app she angled her phone farther up above her body. Just as she was adjusting herself she heard the doorknob and rattle and her heart jumped in her throat.
Len had strolled into the bathroom without knocking, and Rin was frozen in shock. They stared at each other for what seemed like ages before she snapped back into reality and screamed. Her phone fell to the tile floor besides the tub and her hands flew to her chest and between her legs.
"Len?! Get the hell out!"
After a moment's pause, the boy ran out and slammed the door behind him, leaving her with the shock of her life. Her twin just witnessed her taking naked pictures of herself.
Naked.
Her.
She wanted to die.
