Min jun POV.
What does she want?!
What does she have to say?
No!
Never! I will never listen to her, the same way she didn't listen to my cries and pleads several years ago.
She should go to hell, for all I care!
“Welcome, Master Aaron” A maid bowed in greetings immediately I marched in, but I just walked past her in anger, taking the stairs to my room. “You're home, my boy?” I heard Dad's voice from his room.
He didn't go to work?
“Yes Dad” I managed to utter before walking past his room. That woman…
I tossed my backpack carelessly on the floor before plonking myself down on the bed.
I let out a rueful breath, staring blankly at the ceiling. She's making me lose my mind!
“How was school today?” Dad jolted me out of my thought as he walked into my room.
I shut my eyes briefly before sitting up.
“That woman came to my school today again,” I said with a loud sigh, staring at my shoes. “Which woman?” Dad sat beside me and asked. I rolled my eyes.
“The same woman who left us years ago, Dad,” I turned to him. “But I don't understand something, why does she keep coming to me, what does she have to say? I'm very sure she knows very well I can't forgive her, if that's what she's trying to do,” I rushed my words, clearly annoyed.
Dad heaved a deep sigh. “She even had to ruin my sweet moment with psycho,” I added, trying to hide my smile. “Uhm mm… Tell me something, Aaron”.
“I don't know Dad, but I really can't hide what I feel for her anymore, since that night she told me she loves me,” I breathed, biting my nails nervously. “Oh Lord!”
“Is this really my Aaron?” He shouted, elatedly. I chuckled softly. “Have you told her how you feel too,” I shook my head sideways, avoiding Dad's gaze. “Not yet Dad, but soon”
“Whoa!”
“You know since the first day you told me about this girl, I've always known she would make you like this,” Dad said, grinning like someone who'd just won a prize beyond price. “Really?”
“Yes son”
“I would be glad if you can bring her home one of these days” Dad winks.
“Come on Dad, don't be in a rush,” I told him with a smile before standing up to undress.
Would she honor my invitation when that time comes?
Audrey POV
In the evening…
Mum heaved a deep sigh.
“That was huge,” She shook her head sadly.
I just finished narrating everything Duffer's mum told me earlier today. “How could a mother leave her own family because of a situation at hand, then?” “That was horrible,” Mum said, shaking her head disappointed.
I just stared at her as she talks. “Now I understand why Min jun doesn't like the opposite sex too” I nodded at mum's last sentences. “You're right, mum”
“You both share something in common, you know?” Mum reminded with a rueful smile.
“Don't remind me, mum” I rolled my eyes, adjusting the throw pillow on my thighs.
“So she pleaded with you to help her seek Min jun's forgiveness?” I nodded, taking my lips into mouth. “I really don't know how I'm going to do it, mum,” I said to her.
She hummed, smiling lovingly at me.
“I'm sure you can do it, Mi cha”
“It's time he forgives his mum, he can't possibly stay mad at her forever”
I sighed softly. “I will try my best”
I shrugged.
“Uh mm… Audrey” Mum called me as I stood up to slide my foot into my slippers.
I turned to her and raised my brows.
“You still haven't told me your relationship status with Min jun” “I mean for his mum to have seen you two together” She said, a light smirk glimmering on her lips.
I twisted my lips, looking away from her.
“Goodnight, mum” I stooped and kissed her hair before walking away. “You're ignoring my question!” She yelled from the sitting room. I giggled. “Audrey!”
“I'll come to your school and ask Min jun myself,” She threatened, jokingly.
“Best idea ever.”

“You can go ahead guys, I'm not hungry” I told Ryan and Hazel and they both shared a short glance. “Is anything the problem?” Hazel asked, sitting on my desk while Ryan stood beside her. “Nothing, just not hungry” I answered, itching my nape.
“Uh mm… then we are not going for break either” “Don't be silly, Hazel” I rolled my eyes at her. “Kwan is not in school today, by the way” Ryan changed the subject. I glanced at her seat, and she's truly not on the seat.
“Maybe she's still pained from yesterday's incident” Hazel shrugged, but I just stared on- I hope she's okay. “Hi Audrey” A cheerful voice snapped me back.
Oh my…
It's Kwa young.
“How are you, dear?” I asked her with a friendly smile, standing on my feet.
“I'm good, and you?”
“Here” She stretched out an invitation card to me. “I'm inviting you to my birthday this weekend, I hope you could make it,” She said with a bright smile. “That's bad of you Kwa young, you're not inviting us,” Hazel said with a frown before I could talk. “I'm sorry,” She apologized. She opened her backpack and brought out two invitation cards.
“Have yours” She handed the IV's to them.
“I would be happy if you guys could make it to my sixteenth birthday”
“Whoa” We chorused.
“Happy birthday in advance dear” I gave her a parted hug. “Thanks Audrey” She kissed my cheek before scurrying off.
I watched her back till she left the class.
“We are all going to this party, isn't it?” Hazel squealed. I returned to my seat, scratching the back of my neck.
“I'm not sure yet, I'll inform my mum first,” I told them, staring at the IV.
“Hi”
I heard his calm but sweet voice.
“Hi, Min jun”
“Do you care to join us?” Hazel asked him.
I caught him staring at me but quickly switched my gaze to somewhere else, I was clearly mad at him.
“I'm sorry girls, but maybe some other time,” He declined with a pleading face.
“It's no problem, enjoy your time with your love,” Hazel said the last words silently before leaving the classroom with Ryan.
Foolish girl.
“What's that?” Duffer asked, gesturing to the IV in my hand. I ignored his question, I opened my backpack and dropped the IV in it. “What are you doing here?” I asked him bluntly and he smiled.
“Sorry about yesterday, psychopath,” He apologized as he sat on the empty seat close to mine. “But I'm really coming with you today,” He said obstinately, I smiled inwardly. “Or you don't want me to?” He crumpled his face. “Uhm mm…. Duffer,” I called, trying to meet his gaze. “Min jun” He corrected, twisting his lips. I rolled my eyes.
I glanced around the classroom and thank goodness they were only a few people in the class. “Could you please forgive your mum?” I said with a pleading eyes, and I watched as his face switched to a solemn one.
Okay,
This ain't good.
