Two months later

"I'll meet you at lunch." Sehun said and kissed Naeun's cheek.

"Please show a good example, school prefect." Tao grumbled, breaking their kiss as he intentionally walked between them.

Tao walked through the school hallway and the students parted to give way for him. Soft murmurs can be heard around, but as soon as his eyes switched to them, they quickly dispersed and the chatting died there. They either looked down or elsewhere, because those who caught Tao's eyes will either fell for him or fell into the bottomless pit.

His stare was dangerous. Like a golden dagger that's capable to drew wounds, he was capable to make people think that they did something to annoy him, and that they will pay for it.

"Tao!" An ever so familiar voice called.

Tao rolled his eyes and walked faster.

"Hey I was calling for you." Sehun said, falling into steps with him.

Everywhere students were saying 'hellos' and 'good mornings' to him but not to Tao. Tao was used to it though, he liked it that way.

"I heard." He replied short.

"But you weren't listening."

"Nope."

"So when are you going to pass your form for the Green Earth project?"

"Told you, I'm never going to join that stuff."

"You will. It'll look good in your college application."

Tao was going to say something but Sehun cut him off.

"Tsk." He stuck out his index finger. "I'll see you later." Sehun finished and walked to his class.

Tao sighed and entered his class.

"Hey, nerdie, where's your glasses? Where's your braces?"

Luna rolled her eyes as Jiyeon and Juliane laughed at their lame remarks towards her.

'Even the flies will not feel insulted at that.' She grunted in her head, as she continue to read her book.

Their crazy laughs were interrupted and replaced by giggles a moment later.

"Oh, he's so handsome!" She heard Jiyeon gushed.

"Do you think he like me?" Juliane loud-whispered at her friend.

"Of course! But he like me more." Jiyeon replied with an a-matter-of-factly voice.

Luna raised her head, eyes caught instantly with the tall guy's eyes. Her eyes widened.

"Good morning Tao oppa." Jiyeon and Juliane said in unison with their high pitched girly voice, which of course got ignored.

He stood there, in front of her row, dark cold eyes locked with her warm ones, shooting death glares to her. Her stomach twisted uneasily as negative thoughts floated into her mind. She then realised that she was still holding her gaze. She quickly averted her eyes elsewhere.

'Oh my god, I just stare directly to the devil's eyes. I'll have a bad bad week.' She whimpered quietly, mentally cursing herself for being careless.

It was Sunday, and the weather was freaking hot.

Tao ran out from his house when his Mom started to talk about college. It was even more annoying when Mr. Shin backed her up. So he ran out with the reason it was so hot in there. He went out to the grocery store and joked with the ahjumma, bought her ice cream and walked home, trying to finish his ice cream before it melted out. He decided to take the longer route, which include passing near his school.

His Mom will surely interrogate him why he was late, but he rather listen to his Mom nagging than looking at his stepdad's face.

Tao's step-dad was nice, but he cannot accept the fact that Mr. Shin was the reason why his Mom left his biological father.

Mr. Shin was the principal of ShinHwa high. The school was built for the elites and was founded and managed by the Shin family for generation, and now he was part of the arrogant family. So he decided to bring shame into the family, making sure his step dad regretted marrying his Mom.

Tao looked around, making sure there was no one around before he turned to his left, to the school's back where the public park was. He made his way through the tall trees of the park, licking his last drop of vanilla ice cream before stuffing the waffle cone into his mouth. Soon, he saw the old ladder that was placed behind the school walls and climbed it. He dropped on the ground and looked around the football field.

He grinned widely, and opened his arms.

"Ahhhh school."

He stuffed his hands in his pocket and walked to the bleachers situated not far from where he unruly entered. He took his sweet time climbing to the top of the bleachers where he lay down, staring at the clear blue sky.

It was nice out there, the white clouds was like white cotton candies that moved slowly as the wind blew.

His eyes fluttered close and was about to  doze off when he heard someone cursed.

"Shit!"

His eyes shot open to the source of the voice. A girl on his age who seemed to fall on her butt stood slowly, brushing her pants from the dry leaves. She clearly climbed up the ladder too.

She muttered something to herself before grabbing her bag beside her and made her way through the field, passing the bleachers which he jumped behind the seats to hide himself.

Narrowing his eyes, he recognised that long wavy hair.

"Luna? What is the class nerd doing here?" His eyes trailed after the girl who was now passing through the mini gate that separates the field and school building.

"So class nerd is breaking the rules." He grinned in amusement. "Interesting."

He watched her looking around before pushing the gate open and walked towards the school building. He followed, making sure he was standing at a safe distance so he would not get caught.

Luna walked along the pathway that leads to the school cafeteria. She switched the bag to her left shoulder and tied her hair with the hair band she had on her wrist. Her long honey-colored hair was now left in high ponytail which hung just above her bum and swayed as she turned to look which way she was going next.

He was busy staring at her hair when he stepped on a twig. It broke in two with a loud snap and he held his breath, hoping that she did not catch that. Fortunately for him, she kept on walking and he realised they were now in the school garden.

The statues were towering above them, giving him a chilly feelings, it was scary, though he would never admit it.

He let her walk far ahead before he continued his step.

"Nerdie, what are you doing?" He mumbled.

Luna made her way through the all too familiar path and soon she was standing in front of a big tall tree, the oldest among the trees in S.H. high school, according to the book of ShinHwa history.

She walked slowly to the side of the tree and kneel. Placing her palms on the leaves-covered ground, she breathed in and out. She took a pointy rock and started to dig.

When she finally saw the blue container, she stopped digging, dropped the rock beside her and took the container out.

She bit her lip and suddenly the unwanted tears welled up in her eyes. She tilted her head upward so the tears will not fall.

She exhaled loudly and opened the lid of the container. After that, she rummaged inside her bag, took a blue paper, threw it inside the container and closed the lid. She hastily put it back into the ground and covered it with soil and leaves.

She placed the pointy rock as a mark and with a last look, she went home.

Never did she know that someone was watching her from afar, with a sly smile formed on his lips.

Tao watched as Luna walked out from the garden. He waited a few minutes before he back-pedaled to the spot Luna had just left.

"So, what are you hiding?"

The corner of his mouth tug into a lopsided grin as he crouched and repeated Luna's act earlier.

True enough, the blue container was there. He dropped the rock and pulled the lid open, without taking the container out, and stashed inside was something he never thought he would see.

Luna's sweet memories, and darkest secret.
