Daisy

Awakened with Lifeless Eyes

Seulgi's POV

2 months ago before Seulgi went to the jungle,before, anything of this happened, before she met a woman on the bridge to give her a seed, before she met her daisy.

Dad came to the Office of the Prefect of Discipline and didn't even uttered a word.

I was expecting he would at least hug me but then, a slap, a slap is what I received from him after I was beated up by my brother's g**g.

"What are you doing with your life, Kang Seulgi" he was raising his index towards me.

"I can never help you this time. Get a grip of your life. I'm begging you." He left, strongly shutting the door. 

The prefect of disciples head talked to me.

"Come here." He politely asked. He knew from my lifeless eyes after my dad left the office that I was shocked.

I sat down the chair in front of his table.

"You know well the consequence is heavier this time, the violation you did is strongly against the character of a student from Seoul University. People are expecting a lot from you, you're a Dean's Lister, you're an art major student. You brought glory to our schools but this, this is unacceptable. I'm sorry but the only choice left for you is to drop out."

I wasn't even given a chance to explain myself. No one wants to listen. The person I mostly expected to have my back slapped me earlier. The girl I'm dating won't recognize me anymore if she ever heard of this. Then another girl, I used to vent my frustration with, that girl, she's gone...

I knew it then, the moment I entered the office I was just there to be informed to leave. I have no power here. Our family's reputation is at stake. 

An hour before, I was called by mom.

"Admit you stole your brother's sculpture entry"

"BUT MOM THAT WAS MINE"

"It's his according to me!" She insisted.

"BUT"

"YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER. IT WOULD BE THE BEST FOR THE KANG CONSTRUCTIONS CORPORATION"

Funny, isn't it? No one was siding me. Even the closest ones in our household.

I left the office wearing my back pack on my right arm, left shoe unproperly tied, dirt covered jeans, wounded lower lip, and messy hair.

There I saw Tzuyu running towards me on the hallway.

"Seulgi" she yelled and then she stopped.

We were standing five feet away from each other. I was looking at Tzuyu and thought

"What if I'm not what I thought I am? What if I don't really liked her afterall. What if it was all the exposure I had around her peer?"

I was still having doubts with my sexuality even after dating her.

I continued walking towards her as her gaze follows me... and then I passed by. Our hand touched. She stopped me by wrapping her pinky finger on mine.

"Just let me fix your hair for the last time?" she pleaded with her voice trying to hold herself from breaking down.

"Let me treat your wound on your lower lip, let me cover it with a band aid. Please?" She continued.

Still, I can't deny, she took care of me well. She may have not seen the best in me at all times but she did made time to take care of me.

"I might have just destroyed someone for trying to fix myself." I thought.

As I let go of her pinky finger, I knew it hurted a little. I was still confused if I was in pain because I loved her. Have I loved her? Or have I stayed this long just to not hurt her?

I didn't even uttered goodbye then to her.

-------------------

Tzuyu's POV after leaving the jungle.

"Liar" I said as I took the handwritten letter on my pocket.

It was Seulgi's last letter for me she left in my locker, the letter she left the day she dropped out.

Dear Love,

Sorry for ignoring you all day. I was messing around. I hope you didn't get to the point of breaking up with me hehe. We've been together for 3 months now. This love of yours will make you proud, I'll make sure of that. I'll take care of you for another month, a year, a decade, a century, whatever it takes. I'm sooo excited later. Meet me at the field. I'll show you something ^_^

Love, Seulgi 

She sounded so excited with that letter,I wondered what happened. It was ou r monthsary then. It could've been a surprise but that, I'llll never know. 

I crumpled the letter and threw it beside the road and left riding my car back to the city.
