CHAPTER 4

He walked away annoyed and I accidentally sneered, not loud enough for him to hear tho.

The lecture went by quite fast and I was about to stand up to leave.

Just then I looked at a small group of my classmates heading my way. I rolled my eyes annoyed. They walked up to me and one of them said "Yo freak show, give us your money or we'll have some fun after school."

He snapped his knuckles and I thought to myself 'they really are uncreative, always calling me a freak show, tsh get your head checked dumbasses.'

Of course I didn't even think of saying anything out loud becouse I had a bad image to keep up, so I stayed just quiet.

He glanced at me, now looking like he would snap my neck. After they smashed my head against the desk, giving me even more bruises on face, I stood up and went to the bathroom.

I looked up at my face and activated [ illusion fusion III. ] to cover my bruises. Just like always my head was covered with an illusion of a perfectly unharmed face.

I took my things after deciding to skip the rest of the school.

I walked behind the gym building and saw someone being beaten up by . . . 'no fucking way, I'm going the shit away from here.'

I started walking backwards slowly but Yoo Joonghyuk froze and was about to turn around.

I quickly activated my skill [ facial understanding ], I'm not super sure if he saw my face clearly but I hoped no.

"YOU study HERE?" He glanced at me and added "in this ... normal school?" he narrowed his eyes slightly surprised but not negative.

"W-well I do, got a problem?" I stuttered. 'why the fuck am I stuttering, what's wrong with me!?' I thought ashamed.

"No, not at all. Just surprised. I thought that maybe you went to my school but I guess I was wrong."

I looked at him suspicious. "What the hell? Why did you think that I was studying in your school?" I stepped back slightly.

"Becouse you're almost as strong as me.", I froze and wondered 'what... what a liar, I know that I hide my capabilities but I'm not THAT strong...'

"Can you turn off that skill?" He asked slightly amused.

"What skill?" I stepped back again. "The one that covers your face so I can't see it."

I looked away and whispered quietly "Dunno what ya talkin' about..." He finally took a step towards me.

"I know you do." He said firmly.

"I just told you I don't know what you're talking about." I stepped back once more. "But I am fully aware that you do." He closed the gap again.

I looked into his eyes annoyed "what do you want, always bothering me." He raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

"But it's only our second meeting, or do I know you?" Then he added again "I would definitely remember someone as... remarkable as you. By the way I just wanted a rematch, or to get to know you better."

"I'm not planning to get involved with you Mr. Yoo." He chuckled softly. "There did this formality came from? ... If you don't want to get to know me, then I'll have to make you."

My breath hitched and I looked away, something in my chest already twisting and forming dangerously.

His face brightened up as if he just realized something "right, I haven't asked you about your name, so...?" I rolled my eyes.

"I see no reason to tell you." He sighed and breathed out. "Already figured out you won't tell me willingly." I gritted my teeth and looked at him while trying to calm myself down.

"Get lost."

"Sure I will." He smiled wider and took a step closer. "Hope I can meet you again." My mind went blank for a minute and when I looked around he was no longer around.

I sighed, called it a day and headed to my place.

(again, if something is wrong please tell me, I can try to rewrite it.)
