Being a high school student is one hell of a ride in life, isn't it?
While workers and other students get their Saturday and Sunday fully free, high school students still have to make their way to school for another day before sunday came.
While Heos is running around, asking and checking the spot games list, who is joining, and which game they are joining. Cupid is lying his face on the school desk.
For some reason, a headache hit him…and he can barely think or use his brain at all, so all he can do is try to take a nap right at the spot.
"Oh dear…is Cupid alright?"
Yunne comes over because she wants to show Cupid her new cupcake idea that she thinks Cupid might want to try out once she's done…but looking from afar, he looks like he's taking a nap? But that position doesn't seem very comfortable…
"Oh…uhm…" Yunne tries to call another student in class: "Would you mind calling Cupid up? I want to have a talk with him."
That student laughed, nodded their head, and turned back to call Cupid: "Hey, dude, a girl wanna talk to you."
"Shut up…" Cupid growled.
"What? Not even a cute girl gets your attention now? How sleepy are you?"
"…get your ass away before I kick you in the face…" Cupid, still lying face down on the dess threaten them in a low voice, then he slowly got up to see who was asking to meet him: "Oh, Yunne."
Yunne breathed out in relief when she saw Cupid soften his gaze and stand up to walk over to her.
"What's wrong, Yunne?"
"No, nothing much. Sorry if I annoy you."
"No…it's fine…my head just feels a little dizzy, that's all…"
"Oh! Do you want to visit the nurse's room?!"
"No thank…it's saturday, today…" Cupid blinked his eyes a bit to remind Yunne that today is weekend, the nurse's room doesn't open at weekend. Since they are only here for half a day anyway. Usually, they would study from morning to afternoon, but they only study for half a day on Saturday.
"Ah…right…I'm sorry…"
"There's nothing to be sorry for, Yunne…" Cupid speak abit slower than normal, looks like this isn't just 'a little dizzy' at all… "I should be the one…I can't really…uhm…"
"Yes…? Cupid?"
Yunne raised her hand back and forth to check on Cupid; he's like a computer that just crashed out right now…smoke may fly out of his head at any moment soon.
"I'll…go…have a little air for now…sorry…" he walks past Yunne and walks out of the hallway to the lovely garden of class A-2, which he usually takes good care of.
Yunne hurry follow from behind as she was worried Cupid might not feel so well and need some backup if anything bad happen.
And the next moment, when she walked out to the garden, she saw Cupid simply let his body go and fall right into the nearby bushes.
"Cupid?!" She quickly ran over: "Are you alright? Hurt anywhere…?" but then her voice dripped off when Cupid slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
"I'm alright…just let me be…"
Yunne look at him for a bit longer, like a cat shower in sunlight…Cupid find his peace in such a place like this…
Sometimes there is just something so fascinating about him…he acts so freely…Yunne loves that about him. He doesn't care about what others think, he doesn't wonder about should I not do this or should I do this, he just does as his heart told him to.
He so…free…from everything and from the world, that he seem so diffrent from everyone…
Yunne comes closer to the bush, also let her body fall down freely, just like how Cupid did it a moment ago.
"Yunne?"
"Yes?"
"Nothing…just think that was really random."
Yunne laughed and turned her head over to look at Cupid, lying down next to her: "It's seen fun, so I wanna try it too."
"Is that so…"
They stay silent for a while, looking at the cloud drifting up in the blue sky… listening to the bird chatting with their friend nearby, and the sound of leaves swaying in the winter breeze.
Yunne took a deep inhale and breathed out cold air…even with a jacket and a thick pair of socks, it didn't save her from the cold at all…
Cupid closed his eyes and slowly losing his consciousness. He wants to take a nap right here, but remember that he still has more classes before today's school ends, so he tries his best to open his eyes…but it seems useless now that he's lying on just a wonderful spot for a napping trip…
Inhale…and then breathe out…inhale and then breathe out…inhale…and let all of it out…
"I have a fight…well, it's not really a fight at all…my mom just doesn't understand me…"
Yunne slightly moved her head to look at the boy lying next to her in the green bushes, then looked back up to the sky.
"My mom…don't understand me either…" She whispers, but in this silent world with just two of them, it's so easy to catch on to that small line: "This is good for you, she said…"
"..."
Since Cupid stayed silent to listen to her, or was it the headache, she still continued…
"When someone said, this is good for you…that means they have understood what is bad for you first, right?"
"Like…if I want to feed the dog good food…I need to know that the dog can't eat chocolate…"
Yunne giggles: "What a funny way to say it…" but he isn't wrong…not at all…
"Because…I don't like chocolate either…"
That line makes Yunne giggle even harder.
"I can't really say, if I want my child to grown stronge bone, I want them to milk. But they have lactose intolerance…"
"Gods!" Yunne cracked out a big laugh: "Yes, that does sound a bit off…"
Cupid raised his right hand as if he were pointing some where upon the sky: "Everyone know dog can't eat chocolate…but not everyone is lactose intolerant…"
"True…" Yunne nodded her head before raising her upper body from the grass because she was figuring out what Cupid was saying: "Wait, I think I get you now."
"You do?"
"Yeah!" Yunne smiled at him, covering him with the shadow of her upper body. "While everyone knows dogs can't eat certain thing. We don't understand what others dislike and like. Humans can't eat poison thing, yes…but other than the basic…most of us are different from each other…"
"Yes…"
"And…" she stop abit to try to find a word to express it: "Other try to think 'since I like milk too! That means they must also like milk too'... without knowing that the other person is lactose intolerant... did I…get that right?"
"You think a bit too far off, but it's good that you get the point…"
"Oh, I'm sorry…!"
"It's fine…and you're right…things that are good for you don't mean it's good for me…things that our mother thinks are good for us…was it really good for us…"
Yunne slowly lies back down in the bush, she loves it here so much…the new world Cupid is showing her…
"It's really hard…isn't it…" Yunne lowered her voice, every time…her mom smiling at her like she knew Yunne could do it…but it…so pressure…
Mother, I don't know where I'm going at all…my life is a mess…
I like someone…but keep questioning myself it is truely love?
My childhood friend who I played in the past, she move away, but then we met again at school…I like to play with her, but she seemed so busy with her life and her school…she seems tired…she seems like a lot of things had happened to her during the time we were far away from each other…I want to talk to her, accompany her, and be like how we used to be. But the more I think about it, the more I realize everything has changed, and she is not the little Rosey I knew anymore…I bet she have new friend…a new life…and has everything better than this pathetic Yunne…
The cooking club was busy…I try my best to help the club president as much as I can…but they were worried, they said they don't want to put everything on a junior shouder so they don't mind skipping club activity and going out to play sometimes…
Most of my friends are hard to talk to, I don't even know if I'm really a friend in their group anymore…
Uh…the more Yunne think the more she just lies down to sleep on this bush forever…
"Yunne, it's almost time…you should go back to class."
"Ah…yes…But this place is too comfotable…"
"Yes…my back feel stuck…"
This is not good…she has to do something with this mess…
Then they hear a familiar voice coming from afar: "Hey, guys! I can't find you anywhere…so you're all here…what are you guys doing?"
"Hi, Heos…" Yunne raised herself up from the bushes: "We're having…some peaceful time."
"Yeh…" Cupid said, yet don't feel like making any movement at all.
"Is that so… seems fun…While I run my leg around and ask everyone about the spot games, you guys get to rest on the grass like that?! Dam…"
Yunne and Cupid can clearly see that "someone" is jealous of them about it.
"Anyway, Cupid," Heos walks closer to him: "I got most of the necessary members of my class, but there's only one class A-2 member for now, so I wanna ask you about the games, any plan yet?"
"Uh…" Cupid looks like he's about to doze off at any moment: "Yeh…running…"
"Alright…" Heos nodded and wrote Cupid's name on the paper.
Heos turned his back. He was about to walk away, but Cupid sat up from the bush and called him back: "What about you, Heos?"
"Huh?"
"What game will you pick?"
"Uh…not…really choising any yet…haha…" Heos looks away from Cupid's eyes.
Oh, he's hiding something for sure… Was he hesitant after that announcement that he'll ask Nova out for a coffee date? He was so sure yesterday…
But Cupid's headache that keep hammer into his brain stops him from pressing Heos any further.
Yunne was in her own thought…before she spoke up in front of Cupid and Heos: "I…I will join the running too!"
"What?!" It was Heos screaming in shock.
Cupid looks over and waits for a bit before asking her: "Are you sure…Yunne?"
"Yes!" she said with no hesitation…I want to do something…something new… It's enough hiding for her. The club can handle most things themself anyway…ahhhh! Who cares anymore?!
"Uh…well…are you really sure?" Heos asks with a shaking voice, why did she deny joining the games last time Heos ask but just declared it like this, like that?!
"Yes…I want to…no…I need to do something new!"
"Something new?" Cupid tilted his head
"Ah! Sorry, I just said that to myself…"
"It's alright…" Cupid, stand up and shake the leaves of his clothes. "It depends on you. Don't pressure yourself, and if you really want to run then…"
"Then go for it!" Heos said with light in his eyes, "Do your best, Yunne! We'll cheer for you!"
Cupid walks over to Heos and slaps his head from behind.
"Ow!"
"Don't pressure her."
Somehow, it makes Yunne giggle a little. "I will do my best…even if I don't trust myself that I can run as fast as you two…I…"
"Yes?" Cupid slightly asks.
"It's ok! This is your first time, isn't it? So it doesn't really matter! Like how my badminton teacher once said, the first thing when trying a new sport is to gain the feelings of how it feel like!" Heos said with joy before he realized Cupid was looking at him with a killing gaze.
"Hehe…you right…"
Yunne departs from Cupid and Heos, heading to her class, whispering to herself.
"Even if I don't trust myself…I know who will…I'll let her know that I joined the spot games…no…maybe later, after she comes back…" maybe a face-to-face talk…Yunne wonders how she will react to this…so curious…can't wait!
