Irritating Jerk

Sometimes, like a gentle breeze, I suddenly think of you... ― Day And Night, Jung Sung Hwan

Even though the other girls' gazes at me were something you'd consider deadly, I learned how to completely ignore them. I've always been able to do that. Besides, I knew the reason for them to be like that. I just happened to be the only one who actually managed to beat and nearly destroyed the princely image of one of the people considered to be the "most handsome campus heartthrob" of Uminaribara University.

I would have done a victory dance for that achievement. But I wasn't exactly someone crazy to do something like that. Composure first before anything else.

To many of those who liked that heck of a jerk, what I did to their prince was a really big deal.

But for me, all I could think of was "to hell with them!" I don't care even if Mitsuta Setsuji was the most handsome guy for them. It was that jerk's fault, anyway. He took advantage of the situation. In my guess, his head and his ego bloated because of the attention he was getting, that was why he thought he could trick every girl who liked him and admired his handsome features and overflowing charisma.

Talk about having such a jerk enter my life... Do you know the very thing that people should do to those kinds of guys? To kill them. That way, no guys would cheat, trick, and take advantage of any girl's vulnerability. But I wasn't a lunatic to do such a thing. I would let God deliver the punishment when the time comes.

A week had already passed since that incident that became the most discussed topic on the entire campus. I've also been ignoring those girls' killer gazes who liked that jerk for that long. As if it would affect me.

Those girls shouldn't even dare attack me or else, they would be the ones who would receive my wrath that was supposed to be meant for that prince of theirs named Mitsuta Setsuji.

Grr! Seriously! Until now, my irritation for that guy won't fade away.

"You're unbelievable, you know that? If it was me, I would've cried on the first day because of fear from those killer gazes directed at me. You seriously ended up beating their prince charming."

I let out a heavy sigh and raised an eyebrow. I didn't have to raise my head just for me to know who said that. My lips curved into a bitter smile as an initial response to that before I spoke.

"Prince charming? That jerk, a prince charming? Seriously, you got to be kidding me..." The thought alone sent shivers to my spine. I shook my head and headed straight to my assigned seat. "Besides, I know there won't be anyone out there who would act as a knight in shining armor for me and be my shield from those people." That was when I raised my head to face Mayu.

My cousin frowned as she pointed to herself. "Me?"

I nodded. "Yes. Seiho-kun would be there for you to defend you just in case his fangirls would dare attack you."

"I-it's not going to be like that! And I know he won't do such a thing for me, okay?"

"Come on! Do you have to deny that?" I even chuckled when I saw Mayu blushed. I wasn't blind for me not to see how my cousin had felt for the other Mitsuta cutie on the campus. "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. The world will never your colossal affection and admiration to that Setsuji jerk's fraternal twin brother."

I laughed soon after I said that. It was a good thing that I managed to evade Mayu supposedly trying to hit me with the notebook she was holding.

But she didn't know that the moment I mentioned the name who was beginning to become the source of my daily irritation, I could feel my anger starting to escalate. Along with that, I felt my heart also starting to beat fast. What was this supposed to mean? But whether I would admit it or not, I should've expected that one to come.

It was just that... Why did I have to feel something like this towards someone I'd consider the unluckiest part of my life? Why was it that I'd feel something like that even though I'd only mentioned or heard his name, or even just thought about his name?

And of all people, why does he have to be the one who made me feel what the first kiss felt like?

"What now? Don't tell me you're thinking of the one who gave you your first kiss?" Mayu started that put me out of my reverie.

I just grunted at the fact that my cousin was able to point that out even though I wasn't even saying anything about it at all.

"He's not my first kiss and you know that."

"I know. But from what I heard, Yushiro never kissed you on the lips for the entire duration of your relationship. Not even once."

"Don't remind me of that other jerk. And besides, what would be my reason to think of that particular nightmare? I'll only end up punching him again if ever he did that to me for the second time. But I doubt if that jerk will be able to do that to me again..."

My cousin just heave a sigh which confused me.

"Do you have to sigh like it's the end of the world?" I commented.

"Why do you have to notice everything I do and point it out? Just don't mind me. It's better for you if you just think about the guy you considered a nightmare right now. Maybe you'll gain something."

I scoffed as a response to Mayu's words. Seriously speaking, did my cousin eat something bad for her to force me toward that irritating jerk?

Yeah, right! Maybe I would gain something from that heck of a guy--a whole ruined day because of him. Urgh! This was crazy.

I just didn't mind my heart beating this fast again because my thoughts only showed Setsuji's annoyingly charming face. Honestly, when would this torture stop?
