Chapter 2

Flashback...

There was a rush in Cloud’s walk that day. How come it was the first day of school but he was still up late. He probably didn’t realize his alarm clock was ringing because he was so tired last night. He went for a walk with his parents and his little sister. It's only once when their family is gathered completely. His parents were always abroad while his little sister was living a country life with his Aunt. That's why they really made the most of their meeting last night.

The outcome? He's late now. To think that's today is the first day of class.

Because he was in such a hurry, he did not even notice the woman he would meet. So what happened was he collided with the woman and because his reflexes were fast he immediately grabbed her by the waist and supported her to stand up.

"Sorry!" he said when he collided and no one turned his back on him.

Although he only saw the woman's face for a moment he could tell it was beautiful. Innocent beauty. Your nice you won't get bored looking.

He was just shaken by the flow of the mind. Instead of hurrying to his classroom, he remained standing there and looked at the path taken by the woman as if he could still see her walking there.

"What's gotten into me?" he whispered softly to himself as he exhaled ...

"Are you Enzo?" that woman's voice sparked her recollection.

So, it's really her, huh? he said in his mind.

Again he looked at the woman and noticed that almost nothing had changed in her. What it looked like three years ago is still the same. She's still cute and she still looks so innocent.

"He's Enzo." he couldn't help but answer even if he wasn't the one the woman was talking to or asking.

It's hard because Enzo might suddenly scold it. Just one look at this woman he knew it was like another woman who would cry a little or raise her voice.

But he's wrong.

It turned to him and he noticed its slight glare across him. Not that he’s being conceited but he knows that he’s handsome so he didn’t hesitate to think of it. But what surprised him was the sudden frown on his forehead. It suddenly looked even more serious.

"Are you the one I'm talking to?" its tongue raised an eyebrow, he didn't know if it was just his imagination or if it seemed to suddenly sharpen its gaze on him.

Its gentle face once seemed to transform and become a tiger ready to devour at any moment. It didn't seem to be the woman he had praised earlier who had a gentle face.

"I'm just being nice, Miss—"

"I don't need your kindness!" the woman was sick of him and according to that, she could clearly see the sharpness of his gaze on her.

Though he wondered at its animosity towards him he could not avoid rising annoyed because of its enmity towards him. He is already helping it but is it still willing to put up with him? Where is the justice there?

"Miss—"

"Don't be so loud when you're not being talked to!" the woman stared at him again, 'it didn't even bother him to finish his speech.

He closes his eyes as the wind blows. He didn't know why this one was teasing him. He didn't know if he had done anything wrong to this one to hit and blow him up like this. He is not in the habit of beating the woman because his parents raised him to be a gentleman and also because of his sister but this one is consuming his patience when he remembers that he is as tall as Edsa.

"Hey—"

"I'm not talking to you in the first place so shut up!"

"Why are you—"

“Just go Cloud. I'm asking you to do something, aren't I? ” Enzo groaned that he forgot he was also there.

The wind blew him away and he nodded to Enzo. "Okay."

He turned around and left the two who were now talking. His mind could not really fathom the reason why that woman was staring at him. As far as he's concerned, he's only seen it once and it's been three years since then.

Kunot-noon he ran around the Open Court at the same time as the annoyance rose in his chest. Annoyed because he was suddenly shot and slapped by a woman for reasons he did not know. Annoyed because it ignored him or even admired him. Annoyed because he didn't ask its name.

So in short, are you so disgusted now is it because he ignored you? Gan'on?

No! I was disgusted because he translated my pride! I was being nice to her but she just brushed me off like a pest! And in front of Enzo!

Okay. You said so.

He was just shaken because he seemed to still be able to see the shaking and grinning of that part of his brain. At the height of her pride, it was hard for her to admit to herself that she was disgusted because that woman had translated her ego and pride.

He immediately wiped the sweat dripping down his neck when he had finished running around the Open Court twenty times. He didn't feel tired, how could his body be used to being tired. Even if he comes from a rich family or clan, he knows how to work. He knows how to repair a broken car. He's independent, that's why.

Her proper drinking of mineral water was stopped when she noticed from the corner of her eye the figure of a female Gym show. He immediately turned to the figure and the face of the woman who had stabbed him earlier appeared on him.

He laid the mineral water on the bench he was sitting on and silently approached, or followed, the woman. ‘The woman didn’t even notice that he was following it because perhaps of its deep thinking. He noticed earlier that this Gym show seemed to be deep in thought.

His proper grip on its shoulder to announce his presence stopped when the woman suddenly stumbled in front of him. He even knelt on the concrete floor, fortunately he was able to keep his hand on the floor because otherwise he would have probably sunk.

“Aww! Shit! ” he heard the woman's language.

Without hesitation he took the woman by both arms and supported her to her feet. ‘He didn’t even think it had hit him before, all he thought at those times was the hurt girl.

"Are you okay?" there was a tinge of concern in his voice as he uttered those words.

He noticed the woman's violent turning to him and the slight reddening of her face. Probably because he had witnessed its convulsions.

"I'm fine!" it salted him and struggled from his grasp.

Without a word he let go of the woman and stared straight into her eyes. “Tell me, Miss. What have I done wrong to you and you seem so mad at me? ” he couldn't help but ask himself that.

He noticed the sudden clouding of the woman's eyes but it also disappeared immediately. For a while, he thought maybe it was just his imagination but he was sure he saw that expression. As if she was missing something — or someone.

“You don't care if I want to bite you! Just leave me alone! ” its salty to him.

He couldn't help but flicker a smirk on his face with imaginable mischief. “Maybe you like me? And I don't notice you so now you are very angry with me? ”

He noticed the narrowing of his eyes and to his surprise without warning he suddenly punched him in the face. Because he did not expect the incident he did not escape. From the moment he was in the jaw and he will admit, it hurt somehow when this woman punched him.

“Why the hell did you do that ?!” he stabbed the woman while holding the injured jaw.

“Because you’re so full of yourself! It's not because you're handsome and rich that you should brag about that! And it's not because you're handsome that you have to hurt other people's feelings! ” that woman shouted at him and without a word turned her back on him, leaving him dumbfounded.

Holding the injured jaw, he dumbfoundedly followed the gaze of its receding figure. He still can't believe until now that a woman had the courage to hug him and talk about things. Never on his entire life that he's been humiliated like this. Just now!

“So, you want war huh? Let's see about that. ” he spoke softly as he rubbed his injured jaw.

Nobody get's away from Cloud, nobody.
