When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a dimly lit room. He tried to get up, but something was holding him back. Tilting his head upward, he realized that his hands were tied together, secured to the bed. A wave of shock hit his body. His legs were also bound separately to the bedposts.
Just as he was trying to make sense of what was happening, he noticed someone sitting beside him on a chair. It was her. And at that moment, everything rushed back into his mind.
"Finally awake," the girl said, standing up from the chair.
"You took just one punch. How does someone as weak as you get away with bossing people around? I donât get it."
She pulled off her sweater, revealing her school uniform underneath. She usually wore pants, but today, for some reason, she had chosen a skirt. After taking off the sweater, she fanned herself with her hands.
He could see the sweat at the roots of her hair. If I had hair that long, I wouldnât have lasted this long, he thought. Her hair was beautiful. He couldnât help but smile as he watched her.
"They're nice, arenât they?"
She had caught him staring. He quickly averted his eyes.
As if it were the most natural thing in the world, she reached up, grabbed her hair, and with a slight tug, pulled off a wig.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I would never wear my hair that long in real life."
He was stunned. Her real hair was extremely shortâbarely longer than a guyâs cut.
"Itâs called a short bob. Ahaha! You should see your face right now!"
Next, she took off her glasses.
"They're not prescription. I tell everyone I wear them to rest my eyes, but donât believe that for a second."
She laughed again. But this time, her laughter came out more like a hiss. One of her hands ran through her hair while the other began unbuttoning her shirt.
The words slipped from his lips before he could stop them. Was she really going to undress? Right in front of him?
The girl burst into laughter.
"How would you feel if I stripped in front of you?"
She had finished unbuttoning her shirt. Then, she climbed onto him, placing her hands on either side of his face. Her eyes were fixed on one particular spot, as if she were analyzing something.
"Looks like I hit you a little too hard. You might be walking around with a bruise for a while."
Again, that hissing laughter. He didnât know how to feel. The girl in front of him was completely dominating him. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. There was a slight unease in him, but more than that, there was an excitementâan intoxicating desire for this moment to last longer.
Her short hair definitely made her look sexier. Without the glasses, he could see her eyes more clearly. Then his gaze drifted downwardâto her neck, and finally to her bra. He bit his lip. A deep wave of lust spread through his body.
A sudden flick on his forehead snapped him out of it. She had tapped his forehead lightly with her fingers.
"If you hadnât thrown the key out the window, we wouldnât be sitting here melting in this heat."
This time, he laughed. It was the kind of relaxed, sharp laugh of someone who had just won a victory. The girl grabbed his chin.
"Cut it out. Just tell me where the spare key is."
"Sorry, weâll have to wait for the real owner to come back."
"Are you kidding me? This is your house!"
"This is where the staff stays."
"Okay⌠So when is the real owner coming back?"
"I gave them all the day off."
The girl suddenly threw a punch with her left hand. A sharp, pained cry escaped his lips. Then, he started laughing again.
Noticing the blood in his mouth, he stopped for a moment, tasted it with his tongue, then, in a sudden move, spit it toward her face. Or at least, that was his intention.
He must have underestimated her reflexes because she dodged just in time. However, the tips of her hair werenât so lucky.
She wiped the bloodied spit from her hair with a disgusted expression. Then, she smeared it across his face with her fingers.
"Listen⌠You canât do a damn thing to me. Iâm several steps ahead of you. So stop wasting my time and tell me where the key is, or elseâŚ"
She gestured toward the electric razor on the table.
"Say goodbye to your hair."
He didnât even hear her last words. Or rather, he didnât care. His eyes were fixated on her sweaty body. For a brief moment, he imagined her cutting his hair. A sly grin spread across his lips.
"Go ahead. I was going to cut it anyway."
The girl narrowed her eyes.
"Just donât regret itâŚ"
"You shouldnât either. By tomorrow, you might find every guy at school with a shaved head."
The girl let out a laugh.
"Every guy? Ahahah! Youâre hilarious."
She then calmed down, running her fingers through his hair. He flinched at her touch, watching her closely. Leaning in, she whispered in a soft voice, "Do you really want this?"
She moved closerâso close that he could feel her breath against his face. Their lips barely touched. Anyone watching from a distance would swear she was enjoying this moment.
Somewhere deep in her eyes, for just a fleeting second, there was a flickerâlike a small flame igniting. A hint of arousal, perhaps.
He could feel her breath all over his face. The scent of her sweat made his head spin. He had to fight with every ounce of willpower not to kiss her.
Smirking, she whispered again:
"Do you really want this?"
His ears burned. The word escaped his lips before he could stop himself.
She pulled away and picked up the razor. As she slowly turned it on, she spoke:
"Good. Then itâs time to say goodbye to that pretty hair of yours."
The next day, he showed up at school wearing a beanie. When people asked about it, he just said he was tired of his hair.
Apparently, "getting tired of long hair" had become the latest trend. A surprisingly large number of guys had shaved their heads overnight.
