Don't Be Happy

The boy was feeling rather exhausted from all the errands that he had to run earlier in the night, so when it read over the text for the first time he wasn’t sure what to make of it. Because the message was so sudden and out of context he couldn’t place who the other was referring to, aside the fact that she apparently was a woman. Shifting in his chair he attempted to come up with some sort of response, but struggled to think of a decent one. Finally he entered his answers, hesitating for second before sending them off.

[MSG]: First of all, do you realize how late you’re texting?

[MSG]: Secondly, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

[MSG]: Did you have fun with you-know-who last night?

[MSG]: I guess my company doesn't interest you any more.

[MSG]: What do you see in that guy/girl?

[MSG]: (S)he's kind of hot... you think?

[MSG]: Is he bigger than me?

[MSG]: When's the wedding?

[MSG]: I heard you and ___ are an item.

[MSG]: Is there... someone else?

[MSG]: I never agreed to an open relationship!

[MSG]: Does she do that thing that I do for you?

[MSG]: I see you'll flirt with just about anyone.

[MSG]: I'm a fool for thinking I was special to you.

[MSG]: How serious is it between you two?

[MSG]: You've been spending a lot of time with ___ recently.

[MSG]: So you tell all girls/guys that, I see.

[MSG]: So that's your type, huh?

[MSG]: Who's better in bed, me or him/her?

[MSG]: I can't bear to see you with someone else.

[MSG]: You're just a slut.

“ No. I am not hiding anything. Or maybe I am. You will never know. “ she leans away as he leans forward and puts a finger on his forehead trying her hardest to not smile at him. “ I am a strange woman please. I’m like the queen of strange. “ She nods her head and smiles cutely.

"You're a queen?" Zero held back from bursting into a fit a laughter, instead forcing his mouth into a wide smile before stepping back and doing a sloppy curtsey. "Does the queen of strange have time to spare for a mere commoner? He doesn't have much but he can show you the perfect places to find shooting stars, he's practically an expert on the subject and he can also bring you to the best hot dog joint in the entire city" He boasted about himself nudging her just a bit, swaying a little in attempt to persuade her.

“I didn’t mean to” Her voice emitted nervously from her lips. Her expression showcased the same feeling; guilt, tension and worry. “Please don’t get mad at me.” Ellie tear her eyes from the male and to the toy she broke, attempting to fix it on her own. “I will replace it! Pay for it. Anything just to get you off the trouble.”

"You're making it worse--Just don't touch it anymore" The teenager whined on the verge of being livid knowing that if he didn't return back home with the toy in perfect condition, his brother wouldn't let it go. Lately he had become much more aggressive than usual and there was hardly anything he could do right in his eyes. "You can't just buy another one. My brother made it himself, he's going to notice that something is different. He's going to be so mad"

                                                  Sometimes, I want to die.

In two days; my father is working for twenty hours and resting for twenty eight.

I study for twenty seven hours and thirty mintutes and rest for twenty hours and thirty minutes.

I don't know why children have less free time than grownups.

I want to be free like a fish.

“ Just because I’ve been acting strange doesn’t mean that I instantly like you. “ She looks at him crossing her arms at him and rolls her eyes. "

"Then, are you trying to hide something?" Zero chuckled mimicking how she rolled her eyes, leaning closer though the mood was playful. "Or, are you just some kind of strange woman?" He teased her tilting his head to the side, waiting for her response.

(/she pulls on your arm, her brow furrowed) you can’t seriously just throw away everything we had over something like this… do you really not want to somehow work around it? i’m not so fragile that you need to constantly try to protect me, you know. i can fend for myself a little… 

Zero removed her hand from his arm, jerking back before he stuffed his hands in his back pockets. Maybe if she had come into his life earlier on they could of worked something out. Maybe. But now things were different; Yigyeong had gotten herself killed and people were beginning to ask questions. He didn't need anymore on his plate. Certainly not this, he couldn't handle it. "If my brother see's us together, you'll be hanging from a three story building before morning...just forget about me"
