...Flower of Evil...

"So,you were scared that I'd get caught by another grim reaper and disguised yourself as a student to stay close to me?",Iseul asked.

Beomgyu put his legs on the desk and placed his hands behind his head while lazily giving a nod. "Other grim reapers are getting suspicious about my research,so they had sent a team to investigate about your whereabouts. Sooner or later,they'll figure out that you are reborn. So,both of us have to hide for now"

Iseul sighed and looked around,only to see the students giving sneaky peeks at them. She rolled her eyes.

"Are you sure that no one will figure out where you are?"

Beomgyu, "They will find me no matter what. I really hope when that time comes,I'd have some good results to show them",he looked at her. "So,your highness, I hope you will corporate with me"

"I'm already corporating"

"Yeah yeah"

"Hey!"

Beomgyu snickered, "By the way,I can't keep calling you 'your highness'. If someone heard,it will be weird. So,let's be friends"

Iseul raised an eyebrow, "I don't want a friend like you"

"I'm offended?"

"Good"

Beomgyu scoffed and put down his legs. He suddenly stood up,startling everyone. "EVERYONE! THIS GIRL HERE,CHEON DANBI IS MY BESTIE!IF YOU DARE MESS WITH HER,I WILL KILL YOU!"

Iseul face palmed. She had never felt this much embarrassed.

"Alright big boy! Sit down!", A teacher who had just arrived,commented hearing his remark.

Beomgyu cleared his throat and sat down immediately.

The teacher was a middle aged man. He silenced everyone."Okay everyone! Be quiet. So,as you all know,your maths teacher retired yesterday. So,we are having a new maths teacher for you"

Iseul wasn't interested at all. She was just glaring at Beomgyu who was grinning cheekily. She pulled Beomgyu's ear and pinched his cheek. They didn't even know who just entered and continued to fool around.

Suddenly, everything seemed to have quiet down. It was so noisy a moment ago but now? And both Beomgyu and Iseul felt so many stares on them.

"Why is it so quiet?", Beomgyu mumbled and looked ahead.

Iseul also looked ahead only to meet a pair of black dark intense orbs. Her hair under the neck rose up. She didn't notice how everyone was staring at her. She only cared about this specific pair of eyes. A man. A very familiar man was infront of her. She could only see him right now.

Shocking everyone, she stood up.

Beomgyu was also shocked. He followed her gaze and saw the new maths teacher. He didn't really have any idea who was that. Judging by Iseul's expression,she definitely knew this man.

"Cheon Danbi,is there any problem?", the middle aged teacher asked.

Iseul snapped out of her trance. "I –I —", she again looked at the new maths teacher. Gulping, she looked down. She couldn't look at him.

And she ran away from the class.

Beomgyu stood up immediately and ran after her.

..

Iseul entered one of the bathroom stall and locked the door. She sat down and covered her face with her palms. Her heart was beating in a speed she didn't like. She fisted her hand and hit her chest,trying to reduce the pain.

"Don't cry", she mumbled to herself. "Don't cry,Iseul"

Too late,her tears were already rolling down.

"Don't", she whispered to herself. Closing her eyes,she tried to stop the flooding memories but she couldn't.

"Hey,you are not allowed to cry!"

"Look at you! You are being silly!"

"Okay okay! I admit! I love you! Happy?hahaha,I thought you already knew! Stop sulking!"

"I love you,Iseul. Don't forget that"

"It's not your fault"

Iseul closed her ears and took deep breaths to calm herself down. She slapped herself three times and wiped away her tears. She stood up and opened the door.

Once she was out of the bathroom, she was startled,seeing Beomgyu outside.

"Your highness —"

"I'm fine"

Beomgyu didn't believe her. "You are not"

"I was not. But I'm okay now"

Beomgyu, "Your highness, what happened? I swear to god that I don't know that man. I didn't plan anything. Who is he?"

"No one",she gave a dry reply but Beomgyu wasn't buying that.

"If he is someone from your past,then it is important for me"

Iseul stroked her forehead. "He is not important to your research"

Beomgyu gave her a look with crossed arms.

Iseul sighed. "My husband"

Beomgyu, "Sorry?"

"He was my husband"

"NO WAY!"

Iseul hissed and looked around to see if anyone is there. "Bring us to somewhere safe", she mumbled.

Beomgyu nodded immediately and snapped his finger. In a blink of an eye,they were on the rooftop. Luckily, no body was there.

"Your husband?? That's not what books say! You!— You didn't have a husband and when you were ruling, you had numerous men around you but —", he immediately stopped realising what he was babbling.

Iseul went near the railing and held it,looking at the sky. "I met him when I was at my lowest. My darkest days. He was there to light up my world"

Beomgyu tried to recall what he learned about the Queen Iseul. Indeed,there was a period of her life no one knew. The banishment period. It was the period which brought the evil queen to the world.

"So,you got married during your banishment period?"

Iseul nodded with a smile.

Beomgyu, "That is news to me",..."He's reborn too",...."But your highness, he might be someone else too. There are so many alike people. If you want,I can look into his past life and confirm"

"No need. It's him. Plus,you can't read other people's past life without permission"

Beomgyu shrugged his shoulders. "I've already broken few rules. One more wouldn't make any difference"

"Beomgyu, you bastard",she chuckled.

Beomgyu smiled. "So,your highness, what are you planning to do with your ex husband?",He asked as he stood next to her.

She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Who knows if he's already married. Maybe he even has kids"

"What if he is still single?"

"He must be like 26 or 28 judging by his face. This Danbi is 17. If it was 800 years ago,people won't mind. But things are different in this era. In his eyes,I'm just a kid"

Beomgyu felt pity towards her. "Hey,age is just a number. What matters is love. Isn't it?"

Iseul looked at him and smiled. "Love? He doesn't remember me,Gyu"

Beomgyu nodded but paused. "What did you just call me?"

Iseul,"Why so surprised? Your name is hard to pronounce for me. My tongue get tangled. Gyu is easy. Don't misunderstood, dude. You are not my friend"

"Of course,I'm not your friend. I'm your BEST friend",He smiled and winked.

Iseul scoffed, "Dream on"

Beomgyu shook his head and laughed. "Alright, we should definitely head back now. It's my first day and look where I am,skipping class with my bestie"

"Bastard"

"Let's go Danbi!", Beomgyu wrapped his arm around her shoulder before pulling her towards the door.

When they finally reached the class,it was already the end of the lesson. Their new teacher at the duo who ran away in the middle of his introduction. He crossed his arms and stayed silent until they speak.

Beomgyu looked at the guy and was amazed with Iseul's standards. The man was taller than him. He could guess that this man might be 1.90m or something height.

"Actually,we uh she was sick"

"Is that so? How are you now?", He didn't seem to believe what Beomgyu said.

Iseul gave a small glance and looked down. "I'm fine"

"Are you sure?"

Iseul nodded.

"Fine. Then both of you, stay after the school. You two missed a lesson"

The duo nodded obediently.

"You may go to your seats"

Beomgyu and Iseul both walked towards their seats. On the way,Iseul again looked back only to see him leaving the class. She sighed and sat down next to Beomgyu.

"Ho ho,first day and he already wants to meet you alone", Beomgyu wiggled his eyebrows teasingly.

Iseul smacked his face with a book. "Don't talk nonsense"

Beomgyu rubbed his nose and continued to talk. "Is he Korean? His accent is a bit awkward"

"He is Chinese"

"Woah"

Iseul again felt this weird stare and when she looked around, that bully girl was again staring at her. It seems like she badly wanted to approach Iseul but hesitating.

The next period started and she couldn't approach Iseul. Iseul didn't really learn anything. She was clueless about everything. She didn't even know how to read or write. Beomgyu was laughing at her during the whole lesson like an annoying brat.

Both of them headed towards the cafeteria when the recess time came. After taking their food plates,they both sat down at the corner of the cafeteria. Iseul couldn't even take a bite when she was suddenly bathed in cold ice water.

Beomgyu widened his eyes.

Who dared?!!

Iseul didn't even move. Her head was still in the same position.

Beomgyu stood up and shouted. "WHAT THE FUCK!"

There was a bunch of girls and boys and the one who poured water was the girl who was eyeing Iseul all the time. She snickered. "Oi,new kid,don't get in my way",she then looked at Iseul.

"Oi,nerdy,heard you lost your memories. So I came to remind you who I am"

Iseul snickered under her breath. "Heh", she stood up and flickered her wet hair back before turning around to face the bitch.

Boys were a bit taken back seeing how stunning she was with her wet hair.

"How nice of you. You came to me on your own. So,it was you who bullied me",Iseul asked.

The girl smirked. "So you really don't remember? I thought you were acting"

Iseul pinched her nose bridge and smiled. "You should have stayed quiet. Haha"

Beomgyu prayed for the girl.

"Cheon Danbi,you really think you can change your future if you just forget your past? You even changed your appearance? Did you think people will like you if you do those things?"

Iseul crossed her arms and looked at the gang who came with that bully girl. "I'm sure there are people who wants to fuck me in your tiny ass gang. Heh,even you wanted to fuck me. Didn't you? You had my bra", She smiled wickedly.

"You slut!", The girl raised her hand to slap Iseul but she was quick enough to hold her wrist.

"Was I wrong? Look how beautiful I am. And look at you! You think you are beautiful? Nah. Gyu,tell me,who is beautiful?"

Beomgyu,"You", He simply answered and gave a thumbs up approving her beauty.

The bully girl tried to snatch away her hand but Iseul held her tight and pulled her closer. She went to her ear and whispered. "You ugly little thing,let me remind you something. You all killed that innocent girl a long ago. Danbi is no more",she looked straight into her eyes. "Be careful. Things will be ugly from now on"

Iseul released her and looked at Beomgyu. "Let's go"
