CHAPTER 16
Midorikawa Yuuki's POV :
I was AGAIN just staring at Yumi finish eating beside me. We're sitting on a bench at the park right now.
I really can't win against this girl, that is a clear fact. We were walking earlier when her stomach grumbled again. It only took one look at me with those round doe-like eyes of hers and I gave in, giving her both plates of takoyaki. Good thing she just took one plate and left me with the other because if not, I might be dying of starvation just about now.
“Aren't we supposed to go home now?” she asked after drinking her juice.
“Are you okay now?” I asked seriously, trying to look away but failing since I can't stop staring at her pretty face.
“I'm okay.” she curtly said. Then she sighed and smiled calmly. “I'm finally okay...”
I was still staring at her as she looked up over the blue skies above us. She closed her eyes and felt the wind that was softly blowing.
“You love him?” the words came out of my mouth before I could even think of what I'm saying. And I thought that I'd be experiencing her dreaded stares again because of what I said. But instead she just shrugged and smiled.
“I thought I did...” she said softly yet clearly. I could even hear contentment in her voice, or maybe it was my mind feeling relieved because of her answer.
“I just realized when I saw him that I didn't actually love him. I don't even like him that much...” she even laughed as she said that. I felt my heart beat so fast just by looking at her talk to me openly.
“Then why did you dated him?” I asked, again with my mouth saying things without thinking. Yumi looked at me blankly and I thought she'd get mad. But instead she just sighed before answering,
“You know, that guy's actually pretty popular at our school. Almost everyone liked him. He was cool, intelligent, and is really good at sports so when he confessed to me, all I could think of was... Wow, you're lucky Yumi! Everyone likes him but he likes you!... It was stupid because all I could think of was how everyone would think about us dating and I was blinded by that. I didn't even get to see how an a**hole that guy is.”
I couldn't believe that Yumi, the girl who hates me, is actually sharing about her past relationship like this to me. She then looked at me and caught me staring intently at her,
“Hey... I know what you're thinking... I just wanted to answer your stupid questions because you were kind enough to feed me and because you're still going to bring me home. I guess I needed to be kind to you just for now.” she said directly. And again I was awed, does she know me that much to know even what I'm thinking?
“I... Let's go to the amusement park.” I suddenly exclaimed making her frown in confusion.
“What? Amusement park? Where?” she asked me still with the confuse look on her face.
“Just follow me, let's just ride the train to get there faster.” I smiled at her and stood up, then I offered her my hand...
“Come on!”
“Tsk. Fine...” and she stood up, ignoring my stretched out hand.
“I can walk on my own, thank you very much.” she said strictly but then she smiled shyly at me afterward,
“Let's go...” she said smiling. It was actually refreshing to see her smile like that. She don't do it often so it was kinda new but I could really say that I could easily get used to that smile of hers.
“Hey...” she suddenly voiced as she stopped on her tracks, then she turned around just in time to look at me straight in the eyes with her round innocent orbs...
“Thank you, Midorikawa Yuuki.” she said and smiled with a faint blush evident in her face.
And thus, I fell in love with the same girl again...and this time much more deeper than the first time.

Lee Yumi's POV :
We were waiting for the next train to arrive and I saw Midorikawa Yuuki just staring out of nowhere and sighing in every passing second. Then he'll suddenly bite his lower lip trying to hide his smile.
He looked troubled... or not? I thought as I was left to look at him.
I didn't realize that I was already looking into him. I was already studying his every feature without me realizing that.
He was really handsome, I must say. His milky white complexion was mesmerizing, and his brown spiked hair was adding up to his appeal. Then his eyes were the color of lightened grayish-brown that would always seem to stare deep within my soul if I looked straight into it. His nose were perfectly fitted in his small yet manly structured face. And those strawberry lips of his that would always curve into a perfect smile each time...
Just like now.
Wait. What?! My eyes almost jumped out of their sockets when I realized that he was smiling at me like crazy as he saw me absorbed in staring at his pretty face.
“You were enchanted with my looks, weren't you?” he almost laughed out the words.
“C-conceited too much, are we? Haha.” I said, forcing a laugh. This is actually so embarrassing that I could just die right now! I tried to move away but he was fast to hold my arm and pull me back to sit.
“You were staring at me... Weren't you?” he asked still with that annoying yet sexy half-smile pasted on his face.
“I-I... I w-was not!” I stuttered as I tried to look mad at him yet I could almost feel my failure then because he smiled even more.
“You were! You're even blushing!” he exclaimed excitedly. Now he's getting on my nerves!
“I can actually kick your a** right now, do you now that?!” I said firmly, making sure that my irritation is clear on my voice. But again, this crazy guy just smiled like loco again.
“And I could actually kiss you right now, do you know that?” he said rather sweetly.
Thus my heart went ga-ga. It felt like my heart thumped for about 500 beats in one sec, and I won't even be surprised if my heart would just jump out of my chest at that moment. I felt my cheeks and my whole face heat up and I swear my lung could have malfunctioned since I can't even get to breathe properly. My hands felt cold and clammy and I became dizzy... Just by those words.
“Hey... Are you okay? You're pale.” he tried to touch my forehead but I immediately moved away covering my face with my hands.
“I-I-I'm f-fine!”
“You're stuttering again... Do you like me that much?”
“I DON'T LIKE YOU!” I was shocked with my own voice as well. I wasn't really sure if what I'm doing is to convince the guy in front of me or to convince myself. Because right now I can't focus on anything else except Faker Dude's crazy smile.
This guy is gonna be the death of me!
I sighed then looked at him straight into those eyes that are almost pulling me onto him. Then I cleared my throat and said in the firmest way possible,
“Keep dreaming, Faker Dude... Because I would never like someone as crazy as you. Get it?”
And the fool just smiled even wider,
“No. You'll like me, I'm sure of it.” he winked at me then suddenly grabbed my hand and got into the train.
I didn't even realized that the train was already there until we got in. He was still holding my hand and beaming at me then and I was about to yell my guts at him when people suddenly crowded over and started pushing me even closer to the Faker Dude.
There were so many people on the train and it's more than annoying! This is the reason why I hate riding on trains. I thought.
“Ouch!” I flinched as I felt some kinda elbow hit the back of my head. I saw Faker Dude glare at the guy behind me as he placed his hand over my head and encircled his arms around my shoulder in a protective manner.
“Are you okay?” he said looking at me with concern plastered over his annoyingly pretty face.
I was about to answer him when I felt something brushing against my back and... butt. At first I thought it was just nothing but I kept on feeling it behind me. I wanted to punch the a**hole who's harassing me but because of the train being overly crowded, I can't even move an inch.
I felt someone touch me behind again and I swear I wanted to shout out loud yet I just couldn't. I tried yet words wouldn't come out of my lips, I was so stunned to even speak. I felt so disgusted yet I couldn't do anything... I then felt tears starting to collect in the corner of my eyes.
“Yumi...? Hey, are you-- Shit.” without being aware of what was already happening, I just saw myself behind Midorikawa Yuuki. He was already wrenching the man's hand and was grabbing onto his collar,
“You have a death wish, old man? You dare to touch my girl with your filthy hands, huh?!” I saw Midorikawa Yuuki fuming with anger and I could clearly see that he was serious with his words. And so I tried to tug his arms and pull him away,
“Hey...enough already... Please.” he looked at me and I felt shivers run down my spine, I didn't know he could look this scary. But instead of feeling scared, I felt protected.
He seemed to understand what I'm trying to do, he then looked around and saw people staring at us.
“This creep was copping up a feel on my girl!” he said loudly as he wrapped his arms around my shoulder protectively and pulled me closer to him.
Everyone started to send the old man death glares and disgusted looks, some even started gossiping and give him verbal abuse, and the old man was left to hide his face in shame.
While me... I was left to stare at the guy whose face was still annoyed and worried, yet in my eyes he looked pretty valiant and overly good-looking.
“Thank you...” it was all I am to say when he looked into me with his compassionate eyes.
I guess I might actually like the Faker Dude... a bit.
