3 Bucket List #1: Short hair

It's been almost 2 years since Zea cut her hair. Her hair is one of the most precious to her. She believes that long hair makes a girl beautiful and short hair makes the girl cute.

This time, she wanted to be cute. For almost 18 years of existence, since 7 years old, she had a very long and silky black hair.

"How will my friends react with my ash gray short hair?"she wondered while looking at the mirror.

" Your friends will surely love it. Whatever your hair miss, you're always a beauty. " the stylist claimed and smiled at her.

"I once remembered when you cried at me because i cut your hair 2 inches from your waist. Haha! I was shocked when you told me you wanted to have a different look. What came into your mind?" the stylist asked.

"I just wanted to have a new look before the school year ends."she replied.

She also went shopping and bought all the dresses and shoes she wanted to wear. She also bought make ups even if she doesn't know how to use it. After, she went to a spa and relaxed. She even bought a new car.

But even if she had fun dating with herself, she will never escape the sadness and loneliness in her heart.

"1 case of soju and a bucket of spicy friend chicken please."

"I hate repeating myself. How many times should i tell you not to drink too much alcohol if you can't even handle yourself?"

Her eyes widened as she recognized Zelan's voice.

'Ah right, he works here' she said to her mind when she noticed his uniform.

She was about to speak but Zelan cut her with his cold words.

"Nevermind. It's your life. Wait for your order, Ma'am"

She sighed after Zelan turned his back at her. Indeed, it was so hard to communicate with him. They're like strangers even if they are schoolmates.

No, it was only Zea who was a stranger to him. Zea knows him well because she was always observing and following him. She even knows his favorite food, the size of his foot, even his favorite spot.

When her order came, she tried communicating with Zelan but he was always cutting the chase and addresses her as a customer as if they never met before.

He doesn't even recognized her new look.

'Damn!' she exclaimed to herself and drank the soju.

"Hi beauty, are you alone?"

Suddenly, a strange guy came to her table. The guy was around 30s and drunk already. Her heart was pumping while talking to this strange guy. Sweat was starting to came out especially when the guys started to move closely to her, approaching her legs.

She's so naive and don't know what to do. Because of fear, she cannot speak nor move. She was about to cry.

When the guy was about to touch her legs, a hand stopped it. It was Zelan in his civilian attire. He was about to check out when he noticed something strange on Zea's table.

"Who allowed you to touch my woman?" he said coldly with the guy. "And you, woman. I told you go home and not to wait for me anymore."

Zelan grabbed Zea's hand and pulled her gently outside the bar. After a few steps away. He stopped and faced Zea.

Because of fear, Zea's knees were trembling and her eyes became watery. Before Zelan opened his mouth, she hugged him so tight and cried.

After a decade, it was his first time to hugged a girl again. His heart thumps and he doesn't know how to react the sudden touch. He wasn't even sure if he will respond or he will pushed her away like he always do with the others. For the first time, he was so nervous.

But that moment, one thing came into his mind. Among the girls he had met, Zea was the only girl that made made him felt this way.
