REMINISCENCE

CHAPTER 13

KIM EUN JI'S SECRET

KARIN'S POV

Fuck her!

Fuck her a million times!

Who the hell just she thinks she is?!

The moment I stepped inside this school, all I can hear was 'the new student was very pretty!' and 'she was kinda hot!' who the hell is this new student anyway?! I was out of town for a week because of my dad's business. I was excused so I don't have to worry about not attending classes for a week. I thought that when I came back, the talk of the town would be, 'The Queen be is back!' or something but all I can hear is about this 'new student' that came from mars.

I walked inside the classroom to see Millie and Eun Ji sitting above the teachers table.

"Miss me?" I called out. The attention of the two shifted immediately to me.

"Karin... You're so not the 'what's in' student anymore!" Millie said with a wave of her hand.

"Yah! The entire school seems to forget you girlfriend..." Eun Ji added while checking her nails. I walked over them until I was only a few steps away.

"So... Who's the bitch from Mars?"

"Her name is Min Luna..." Eun Ji answered boredly. I threw a pen on her face to get her full attention.

"Hey!" she cried out.

"Tell me who's this 'Min Luna' is..." I asked her again.

"Okay! Okay! Luna was a new student from God-knows-where school and she was in Class A. She was currently hanging out with the Oh-So-Hot-Eleven-Boys in our school..." Eun Ji explained while massaging the spot where Karin's pen hit.

"She is sooo not hanging out with Suho?!" I yelled. Since I met the son of my dad's business partner Suho, I couldn't get my mind off him hence, marking him as mine and I will destroy who ever dare tries to seduce him...

"They are always together actually... he was like her personal tour guide or something..." Millie said. After hearing that, my hatred towards this 'Luna' increased ten-folds.

"She is so going to regret being in this school..." I told my clique. The two of them sense my plan and nodded in approval.

When it was already recess, Millie, Eun Ji and I went to the cafeteria. At a distance, I can already see Suho with his group. Not seeing him for a week is very disappointing. Only So Hee was the girl with them, I don't really care about her because I know that she was in a relationship with one of them, Kai to be exact but they said that they broke up already and I don't give a damn, as long as she keep away from Suho. They are chatting happily when suddenly one of them called stood up and called someone out.

"Hey Luna! Over here!" Chen called out. The rest turned to the direction he was looking at and so did I and saw a girl walking slowly towards them.

So this is the girl everybody was talking about. She's pretty alright but not enough to outshine me. I stood up and walked towards her direction.

She was only a few meters away from their table when a I purposely bumped into her making her lose hold of her tray and it fell to the floor spreading its content all over the floor. Her friends were surprised and rushed over to her.

"Oh sorry 'bout that. I didn't notice you going over this way..." I said. She turned her gaze at me and looked at me straight into the eye. I laughed at this. "Whoa, I'm scared... NOT!" then I heard Millie and Eun Ji laughing. The group reached her and saw the mess on the floor and the juice stain on her blouse.

"Hey Karin! What do you think you're doing?!" Sehun yelled at me. I just rolled my eyes at him. I don't give a damn to them after all.

"Are you okay?" Suho asked Luna who was still looking at me. This made me angrier. How dare she make Suho worry about her! She needs to know her position in this campus. She needs to know what to touch and what to stay away from.

"I'm fine..." She cut Suho off and started to pick the scattered utensils on the floor. Xiumin helped her collect the pieces of food and placed it to her tray.

"Are you still going to eat that? I didn't know you're that hungry..." I mocked her. My cliques laughed at this.

"Enough already!" Luhan roared. Millie and Eun Ji shut up and looked at Luhan with one eyebrow raised each. Even though this Luhan guy is a new part of the team, I can say that he is very good looking but still, my interest is only towards Suho.

"What is wrong with you Karin?" Kai asked me with a tint of anger in his voice. I walked closer to them and stopped when I was only a step away from Luna.

"I just wanted to meet the 'gossip of the town'. They said that there was a beautiful transfer student and I got curious so I went my way here just to see her myself and because I'm a very pitiful person, I want to help her gain more Attention so..." I then signalled Millie to come closer and she handed over a glass of water me. I will show her who is who in this place. I then splashed water over her.

Serves her right.

"HEY STOP IT!" So Hee pushed me and knelled over Luna. What pitiful creatures. What I want I get, and those who dare stop me pays.

"Now everybody's attention is on you! Congratulations!" I cheered and clapped my hands, the others who were entertained by my surprising act cheered and clapped as well.

The Xiumin placed the tray above one of the tables and Luhan and So Hee helped Luna stood up. A whistle was heard among the crowd followed by another set chatter filled the area. That was when I noticed that her clothes are soaked and her bra can be seen through the wet fabric. She wants attention right? Then she can have it all. Kyungsoo immediately took his coat off and placed it over her chest to cover from perverted gazes. Now this is new, since when did the ever-cold Kyungsoo became a gentleman, tsk. She really was something.

"Will you cut it out already?!" Lay yelled to the crowd. The chatters died down and the area fell silent. I was about to say something when I felt something cold was placed inside my uniform. I was just about to ignore it when it moved.

"EKKKKK!" I screamed while taking the thing out of my uniform. It was moving and it started to freak me out.

"Wow Karin, I never knew you were a great hip hop dancer..." said Baekhyun who was smiling evilly at me. The crowd laughed at his statement.

"BYUN BAEKHYUN! I SOOOO HATE YOU!" I cried out. I was doing the best I could to pull it out of my uniform but all my attempts failed.

"Well, the feeling is mutual. Good luck on finding the frog inside your blouse Karin..." he said and walked over to his friends. They are now walking out of the cafeteria. While screaming like shit! When I was finally able to pull out the said pest, I smashed it to the floor and stepped on it. I manage to look at Luna for the last time before she go out to see if she was laughing at me as well but what I saw froze me.

She was looking at me.

But her eyes are not the same ones I saw when she first looked at me. This time her eyes are full of anger and hate in it. But it was not the reason why I felt cold. It was because...

HER EYES ARE BLOOD RED.

EUN JI'S POV

I never saw Karin like that before. She was in range! That Byun Baekhyun really had done it. She even stepped on that poor frog.

She's really gone mental!

I was about to tell her to just let it pass when she suddenly stopped moving. I looked at her and saw that she was looking straight at the leaving team. I patted her shoulder and was successful in getting her attention.

"What's wrong?" I asked her. Yes, I know that she is a bitch but she is my best friend, I care about her so much.

"N-nothing..." she said and started walking with Millie back to our classroom. I followed close behind. I turned my gaze towards the direction the other party went to see if I can have a short glance at him but they are already gone. I just continued walking.

Today was a very tiring day. We were lucky that we aren't called to the president's office. I was currently standing in front of my locker when I hear a familiar footstep coming. My heart started to beat faster. I immediately checked my appearance in the mirror inside my locker. I look okay...

Breathe in...

Breathe out...

I was cut off my thoughts when the locker next to me opened. I slowly peeked over the door to see the person next to me and he suddenly turned his gaze and I immediately looked away, embarrassed.

"Hey..."

I was surprised of his sudden start of conversation.

"H-hey me?" I asked. He looked at me with disbelief.

"Are there anybody else here besides us?" I looked around and realized that it was just the two of us in that area so he was really talking to me. Way to go Eun Ji! You just successfully sounded like an idiot!

"S-sorry..."

"Stop apologizing, you look like an idiot for apologizing without any particular reason." He said. I gulped. He was really straight forward when he speaks. This is your chance Eun Ji! Talk to him!

"Y-you are K-Kyungsoo... right?" I asked. God! Why am I freakin' stuttering! I was not allowed to live!

"Yes. I believe your name is Kim Eun Ji, right? I remembered that we became classmates once"

He knows my name... he remembers me! This is the best day ever! Wahoo! You're doing great Eun Ji keep it up!

"Y-yeah... you can just call me Eun Ji..." I said. He looked at me and gave a short nod. He was really not good with words.

"Here." He said and handed a pocky to me. I was very surprised but managed to take the said chocolate box.

"Is it really okay for me to have this?" I asked. Deep inside I was jumping with joy. First, he started the conversation, next, he knows my name and remembers me and now... he is giving me a box of chocolate snack! This is the best day ever!

"Sure. I will not eat it anyway." He said then pulled a black jacket out of his locker and closed it.

"Are you cold?" I asked. He looked at me with a questioning stare. Just shut your mouth up Eun Ji! You're putting yourself in trouble! Now he will never talk to you again.

"No. I'm giving this to Luna." He said. I remembered, he gave his school coat to her earlier. I don't know why but I feel jealous over Luna. It seems like she can have all the guys he wanted.

"Kyungsoo likes Luna, doesn't he?" I asked. I know that I'm not as attractive as her but I also have good qualities. I was surprised when I heard him chuckle.

"You're funny you know. It's getting late. You should go home, See you at school tomorrow!" he said and started walking away. I was rooted to the ground. Did I just make him laugh? I mean, The Cold-Prince?! And did he just say he'll see me tomorrow? I don't know what came into my mind and I started jumping. Wahoo!

I totally forgot about what happened today at the cafeteria, all I remember right now is the short moment I shared with the person I love for a very long time...

Nobody knows this, neither Millie nor Karin. This is my deepest secret. I'm planning to keep this to myself, I wanted to tell him what I feel but I know better.

Right now, I have 0% chance of getting his love but if I try my best, I know that we will have a chance together too.

I just have to be patient.

Then when i finally have all the signs I need, then definitely...

I'll confess my feelings to him.
