Fun fact: Hana likes spiders, Bryan has arachnophobia (fear of spiders)

[Siren]

I woke up with a throbbing sensation on my head and a stinging pain in my lower body. As expected, the medicine didn't work.

But, I strangely feel comfortable. Is it because of the flowers I'm smelling right now? Or a warm and soft body that is hugging me?

I opened my eyes and got welcomed by Peach's honey-brown eyes staring intently at me, and this familiar heartbeat that only seems to come whenever she's nearby.

I guess, I really do like her.

But, what about her? Does she like me? Or she's just annoyed someone doesn't like her? Is this her way of revenge? But why would she go that far for me?

I'm so confused, I don't know what to do anymore.

Is it too late for the two of us?

Of course. I have Yujin with me. And Peach deserves someone much better than me.

I felt a sting in my heart. I'm already in pain, Don't add any more to it.

She smiled and removed some strands of the hair that let loosely on my face. "Do you feel better now?"

All I know is, right now, she has the power to subside this pain I'm feeling.

I nodded, as if in a daze.

"P-peach..."

"Hmmm?"

"W-"

"How are you feeling, Siren? Does it still hurt?" The nurse pops out from the curtain and asks me that question. It's as if cold water is poured from my face and I snapped back to reality.

This is not right.

I immediately stood up, almost pushing her away, and gets out of bed as soon as I can. I felt a little dizzy but I ignored it.

The nurse gave me medicine before letting me go. I didn't even bother turning around to look at her. What for? After all that embarrassing things, I've done with her? She must have been laughing at me now, for falling into her tricks.

As I may remind myself that she's like that to everyone and I shouldn't think too highly of myself. I am always rude to her anyway.

I stopped infront of our classroom, gasping for air. I don't know why I bother running away when we will just see each other since we're classmates.

When it comes to her, my judgment and the decision really go out of line. And I hate it.

"S-siren?"

I looked up and saw Yujin's worried face infront of me. Guilt creeps into my heart as I stare at her face. I wanted to apologize to her, for dragging her into this mess. I know that I need to let her go but I just can't.

She's the only person who keeps me sane with all the mess that is happening right now.

"I'm sorry... Have you been waiting for me earlier?" I said as I try to stand straight. Damn this pain, why won't you cooperate and be gone, huh?

She shook her head and tried to assist me. "You told me that if you weren't there for 10 minutes then I should go, right?"

"Yeah, but still..."

"I know you have a reason for not showing up and I can see that very clearly right now." I didn't say anything in return. I just wanted to hug her right now.

"Take a sit for a while. The next period will start in 10 minutes." She hold me in my right hand and slowly dragged me inside the classroom. I see Lea looking at me but she didn't say anything. I quietly take a seat as Yujin wipes my face with her handkerchief.

She's really nice... What did I even do to deserve her?

"Yujin, I'm sorry."

She stared at me for a moment. Through her eyes, I felt like she knows what I'm talking about. And that makes me guilty even more.

She smiled. "As long as you're fine, then I don't mind."

The teacher arrives and instructs us to go to another classroom where there is a TV. I don't know what went on in my mind when I grabbed Yujin's wrist and dragged her outside the classroom.

"Siren, what-"

"Let's skip class, Jin. I'm not really feeling well."

[At the old infirmary]

Yujin and I sit on the bed at the old infirmary. This is the only place we could go where no one would bother us. I want to talk to her but I don't know how to start or what to even say. Should I explain? What would be my excuse?

"Jin, I-"

I got stopped when she suddenly crashed her lips onto mine. That took me by surprise that I didn't know what to do for a moment. The kiss is so eager like she wanted something to come out of my mouth. I opened my mouth and welcomed her tongue inside. Since when did she become good at this?

I held the back of her neck to deepen the kiss. The sound we're making right now is really erotic, and I'm feeling hot right now. I grabbed her waist and pushed her down the bed all the while not breaking the kiss. I know we shouldn't be doing this but it feels so good... I just can't stop.

My hand seemed to have a mind on its own it started exploring her body. From her belly, up to her chest which seems to fit perfectly into my hand. Ah, I feel so hot. I think I'm going crazy.

I break the kiss to stare at her face and as I expected, she's red all over. Her eyes are half-open and her mouth is swollen and agape, as if waiting for me to devour her. I gulped. If she won't stop me by now, we might do something that we shouldn't have.

"Y-yu jin..." I desperately called and reached for her face with my trembling hand.

"I love you." She whispered as tears fell on her face. She reached for my face too and started caressing my cheeks. "I really love you."

Right. She loves me. And my focus and mind should only be for her, not to anyone else, but to her. What have I been doing these past few days, acting all confused and strange?

She loves me and she's all I ever need.

I hugged her tight while I try to stop her from crying.

"Siren..."

I kissed her again to stop her from saying anything else.

"I need you, Jin. Please don't let me go..."

She hugged me back and caressed my hair gently. "I won't. I won't let you go, Siren... Y-you're all I need too."
