"huh... sorry to disturb you..." someone said, waking me up from my nap.

disturbing. that was exactly what that boy was doing.

i glared at him, trying to scare him off, but the boy stayed glued to his spot.

"why aren't you leaving?" i spat.

"m-my brother told me not to leave until i had finished my introduction. even if i shitted in my pants."

i rolled my eyes, resting my head on the palm of my hand. "go on then. and be quick. i need to finish my nap."

"i-i... my name's jeno."

"oh. you're my new friend." i mumbled.

the boy nodded.

i patted the place next to me on the bench, waiting for him to sit, which he did.

"don't you have other friends seriously? you prefer hanging out with a psycho rather than actual friends? not that i don't want to be friends with you, but it's for your personal image."

the jeno guy looked at me weirdly.

"i don't give a fuck about mine. i did at first. but now... honestly, people can say whatever they want about me. i won't care." i turned towards jeno. "i'm sorry. i'm rambling."

"it's okay. my brother told me that i needed to make you talk about your problems. he said that you would surely be more comfortable around people of your age."

i nodded. "no offence, but talking with this old crouton doesn't seem to help."

jeno laughed so much that his eyes disappeared.

"you're wrong. he's very competent."

i shrugged.

"you're pretty stubborn."

i scoffed. "you don't know what shit i have been through."

"the whole school knows." jeno answered. "you're still the most popular boy, you know. you're just... not popular in the same way..."

i sulked on the bench. "you know the story from his side. you don't know my side of the story."

"would you be ready to tell me? and my brother?"

i didn't answer his question.

not that i wasn't listening. i was just too focused on those three girls that were standing ten meters away from us, running in circles around the subject of our conversation.

i didn't want anyone near him.

he was mine and mine only.

i just wanted to crush his heart like he had crushed mine less than a year ago.

i wanted to take my revenge.

"donghyuck?"

"what?" i replied a bit harshly.

"will you tell us?"

i rose to my feet. "let's go. right now. i'll tell you the whole story. and then, i'll add my mischievous plan that i made up to shatter his heart in a billion pieces."

⍨

"doyoung!" jeno barged in his brother's office before i could knock.

"yes? oh, you're with donghyuck." doyoung said, looking back at his files. "the door."

i rolled my eyes closing the wooden door before taking a seat on the sofa next to jeno.

"take your eyes out from that shit because this is going to be a long ass ride." i told.

doyoung looked at me with a raised brow, ready to scold me for cursing, but his brother interrupted him.

"he's about to tell you the whole story. so, listen carefully."

"pals, one year ago, lee donghyuck was the most popular student of this shitty school. i was greeted by every single soul in the corridors, appreciated by everybody, well, i had a dream life. a dream life, but a single life. i didn't care about love.

"and then came the one and only mark lee... that guy is a foreigner from canada who appeared one day. he was way too handsome for his own good. one problem though. he had no friends, and he was very discreet. but, yeah, he had caught my eye...

"you don't need a drawing to understand what happened... mark lee and i got together. as in a couple. and it worked pretty well. if i was the most popular student at school, he gained popularity pretty quick and we became the role model couple.

"it was the perfect love story. i had never been so in love in my life. that's perhaps because it was my very first love story, i don't know. but, anyway, i loved him so freaking much. and yet, he broke up. after four months. he left me, as if i was just a nobody.

"he made me a mad man. it's entirely his fault if i am like this right now. everything is his fault. it's his fault if i am obsessed with him. this disease! i can't get rid of it. but that's just because of the way he treated me. so caringly one day. and like an asshole the next one.

"he destroyed me. he used me and my reputation to create his own. that's why i want to take my revenge now and destroy his heart myself."

doyoung looked at me when i finished my monologue. he had taken notes through my whole speech.

i looked at jeno who had tears running down his face.

"t-that's horrible..." he mumbled. "how can you not cry?"

"i stopped crying long ago." i replied.

doyoung read his notes again.

"you said you wanted to take revenge?" he asked me.

"i will take revenge." i told.

"when?"

"i'll start tomorrow."

"how?"

i smirked. "by making him realise what he missed."
