Unexpected Encounters Part 1

A girl was watching the buzzed streets through the window with a distant look in her eyes, with her head leaning against the glass of the window.

For an outsider it would look like she was admiring the view down there but in reality she was not actually looking at the street, her mind was somewhere else.

Or someone was on her mind.

"Y/N where are you?" A loud voice called out which the girl.

"Y/N ar- why weren't you responding?" The woman asked this time in a soft tone.

"Are you okay Y/N, you shoul-"

"I am going out." Y/N cut her off in a monotonous tone and picked up her long coat and went towards the door.

Y/N shut close the door with a loud thud, not paying attention to her concerning tone.

Don't get her wrong, she is not the rude type but today she was in a sour moor.

Well that's what she presented but actually was feeling down at the moment and wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

She put on her headphone and turned on her playlist.

She put her hands in the pocket of her long warm coat strolling down the busy streets and observed her surrounding. She saw a woman around in her mid thirties scolding a boy for his mistake while the boy run around teasing the woman who she assumed is his mother.

She moved her gaze towards to few couples walking by holding hands and smiling affectionately towards each other, just behind them and girl and a boy who looked like siblings were fighting over a chocolate bar.

Y/N smiled unconsciously after encountering their interaction but soon it dropped when she remembered that it was all in past.

Her eyes shone with envy while looking at them, watching them fighting over a bar of chocolate, throwing tantrum at each other.

Just like we did.

The girl thought and her aura dimmed even more.

She averted her eyes from them and walked to a certain building she inteted to go at. She walked in and went near the elevator. When she reached the rooftop, strong cold wind welcomed her. The wind whipped through her hair which she didn't mind.

She hopped on the boundary of the building dangling her legs down.

She looked at all the buildings lights shining bright at night, while cold wind made her only calmer. Her eyes fell on a certain screen making her eyes moist a little.

The accident happened on the same day, just in different year.

Slowly a tear slid down her cheek which was red due to the cold atmosphere. She closed her eyes letting the tears out, then with a blurry vision, looked down the building,

It really solves everything?

Y/N sighed at her stupid thought and wiped her tears. She stood up on the boundary itself balancing herself and looked towards the screen once again.

"Was it worth it?" She asked particularly to no one then got down on the roof surface once again but felt something crack under her feet. Y/N got stiff for few moments.

Please don't be a lizard

I will jump off if it will be that.

Y/N prayed internally while building up the courage to look down.

She wasn't afraid of looking down from the high building but now she was stressing over a crack under her feet.

She got a glimpse of golden shine, making her fully retract her feet.

It was just a headphone.

Y/N sighed in relief and picked up a headphone. It was of a light brown colour with gold coloured outer disks.

It looks expensive and...cool.

Well mine's look much cooler even though they are kind of similar.

(It's Y/N's headphones)

Ahh...it's broken.

She thought when she examined the headphone that lay broken near her feet.

Y/N shrugged and decided to walk away but stopped halfway.

But since I broke so it's my priority to repair it.

Then she picked up the headphone and walked again to the elevator but heard a thud and then a small high pitch voice on the stairs.

A frown appeared on her face.

Should I check or mind my own business since this is practically how thriller films start, where MC idiotically walks towards the source of the sound and gets fucked up.

What are you thinking Y/N? Someone might have gotten hurt.

The girl shook her head at the thought and went down the stairs to check if somebody was hurt.

Y/N POV:

I descend down the stairs cautiously, kind of ready to run if it was a serial killer.

I walked down the stairs in the dimly lit colourful lights with one headphone around my neck and one in hand.

I saw a girl sprawling on the surface of the stairs.

My eyes widen and I went towards the girl in a haste to help her out unbeknownst to another guy coming back upstairs to help the girl.

Hearing footsteps upstairs they both turned towards me and I let out a scream losing my footing when I saw the face of the girl, falling back on my butt. The girl also let out a scream and backed away the same time.

Fuck you dim lights.

I calmed down once I realised that they both were just normal random people.

Maybe I should stop reading thriller comics

Or I will go crazy.

I couldn't quite decipher their looks in dim lights properly but the girl caught me in surprise. I coughed a little and stood up dusting my pants praying they won't see my heated cheeks in these lights that got red out of embarrassment.

"Sorry for startling you." I apologised and sprinted upstairs to avoid the awkward situation I created and instead used the elevator to get down before they do.

I hastily got out of the elevator and went outside marching straight back to my house.

What if this headphone was of that girl?

Or the boy....should I go back and give it to them but... I already ruined their moment....hey what kind of moment, she was sprawling on the floor and- why am I even thinking about this?

My thoughts were running like a train and I was soo submerged in it that I didn't noticed the person in front of me resulting in me bumping into them.

"Oh! I am so sorry!" I bowed while cursing at myself internally.

Why am I being so clumsy today? I was doing just fine yesterday.

I looked up when I got no response from the person I ran into just to see them sprinting in a certain direction, leaving their bike here.

Why run when you have a bike?

"Why did i even bother to apologise when they didn't even felt me bumping into them." I rolled my eyes but once again felt something under my feet. I shut my eyes close heaving a deep breath in and exhaling it slowly.

This time I stepped on a phone.

Just how stupid people are to drop their things? This time it's not my fault is it?

I groaned earning few looks from people who I didn't acknowledge since I was drowned in my own different type of misery.

I picked up the phone and looked at the disappearing figure in denim jacket. Without thinking twice I followed the person, struggling to run in my long coat but since I am too good and pure for taking someone's phone, I ran nevertheless.

That and I promised Eomma that I won't steal or take anything without the owner's approval.

Things you make me do even when you are not here.

I ran at the average speed a person could run with long coat while the person in front of me ran at speed that I sure could never overtake.

That person is hella athletic or I am just too lazy to run fast.

Maybe I should have stayed back home and listened to Ms.Choi.

The person ran inside a hospital nearby and I came to halt. I didn't wanted to go inside, hospital's smell and atmosphere just brings back bad memories.

I tried to step in but hesitation was still lingering inside me.

I then decided otherwise and took a step back.

I guess I will wait till they come out- I thought and went to to sit at the nearest bench outside the hospital.

I sighed opening my own phone to distract myself . I checked for any messages to find Sua spamming in the group with bunch of messages.

I smiled and replied them.

Sua:

We will go to the Arcade and this time, keep an close eye on Y/N. She almost broke the machine out of anger last time.

Y/N:

That machine was testing my patience.

I am not going back to that stupid Mickey house again.

Soojin:

She has done worse, remember when she ran away from the park and we found her in the evening near a ice cream parlour.

Y/N:

In my defence, I was left unsupervised.

And C'mon, we are talking about ice cream here. You know I am a foodie.

Sua:

I can almost feel her pouting.

Things she do for food, I still wonder how Mr.Han will react once he know that his star student is an irresponsible baby.

Soojin:

I doubt that highly since she has different personality in school from that with us.

Y/N:

Am I suppose to be flattered or offended?

Okay talk to you guys later!

Bye!

I put my phone away when I got a glimpse of denim blue jacket out the corner of my eye.

I stood up with the person's phone in hand.

"Hey!" I called out to them making them stop in their tracks.

I jogged towards them and they turned around.

It was tall guy with broad shoulders who looked around my age. He had black hair with bangs that sweep across his forehead to left side. His feline like cat-eyes were piercing through my E/C one's as if he could see through me and his mono lids and indifferent look made him even more attractive and imidating.

There was no doubt that this guy was handsome.

"Stop staring at me and say what you want?" I was pulled out of my reverie because of his surprisingly deep voice and cleared my throat.

"You dr-"

"Ah...I get it. You are one of my fan girls." He flipped his hair sassily with a smirk on his lips, slightly tilting his face while I was dumbfounded by his claim.

"No I-"

"I am in a great mood so I will decline politely, I can't-"

Before he could complete his sentence I threw the phone at him and it hit his face making him wince and then he struggle to catch the thing that was thrown at him.

"Propose my ass." I gave him a mocking look and turned around to walk back home.

This is what you get for helping others.

I should really mind my own business.

"Yah! How dare yo-" I heard his shout which I professionally ignored.

I came back home to see my caretaker still on the sofa where I sat previously looking down her hands. She looked up feeling a presence inside the house and stood up.

"I was waiting for you, you haven't eaten anything yet so I set up dinner." She said softly.

I felt bad for Ms.Choi, even though I have been a brat to her, she always be kind towards me.

She is my caretaker as my brother is back in New York with Grandpa.

"Why are you so kind to me when I am such a brat to you?" I muttered under my breath while looking at Ms.Choi.

"Because that's my job." She stated  looking at me and I sighed.

" I will go and change in my room then come downstairs."

I walked upstairs to my room-

I put the broken headphone on the table along with mine and went to shower.

I came out and dropped myself on the bed not quite caring about my wet hairs.

My mood always takes a drastic turn at home.

It's been over a month since she joined Saebom High and she still remembers her first arrival at school. Students surrounded her and started gaping at her, whispering compliments or praises for her beauty.

There was no doubt the girl became uncomfortable but didn't wanted to show it so despite discomfort created by the crowd surrounding her, Y/N walked inside the school with confident aura or you could say arrogantly but her facade of arrogance was soon gone when she found Soojin in the class.

They are cousins and that's how she met Sua.

She began to take liking to Sua's cheerful nature just in weeks and therefore they all began hanging out.

Considering the fact that her grades were really good and her nature was kind, she became star student of Mr.Han and also got the tag of beauty queen of Saebom High.

She didn't liked the tag as they only care about money or beauty.

Either you have money or looks or you are nothing to the society.

That thought alone made her hate most of the students along with the Vice Principal for causing stereotypes like these.

Eventually she got used to the Saebom High.

I turned my head towards the broken headphone on the table.

Now if I look at this in proper lighting, it's strangely familiar.

"Does it belong to someone I know?" I wondered then stood up.

"The dinner is waiting for me right now."

I changed into comfortable clothes and went downstairs.

I sat at teh dining table and delicious food aroma filled my nose.

Have I forgot to mention this? I am deeply in love with food.
