I ran inside taking the lip balm I couldn't believe it.
This was the Clear Lesera lip balm that was a limited edition version it was hard to get not too popular as the ones who knew about it knew this was the best lip balm in existence. I took the small circular tube and saw the rich thick smooth pink cream inside and the rose-scented smell.
I felt greedy so... I scooped a lot, putting a chunk inside my empty Vaseline container and rubbing the one I had on my finger on my lips. They felt instantly moisturised.
I felt a bit bad but honestly too happy to care, I thought this is why you should never leave your lip balm unprotected! Their fault, not mine! ^^
I took that and just when I was about to leave a tall figure appeared at the other end of the hallway. You see. I had planned to put their lip balm back but I.. forgot.
I just took it along with my Vaseline accidentally and ran. That person saw me running and saw I took their lip balm and came after me while I was running they were walking.
Also with my tiny legs, I could only get so far, but this person as tall as 6'0 (183cm) was taking long strides that were triple the places my tiny self could get me. I feel like the person already knew that there was a dead end in the direction I was running, anyways I felt extremely stupid, halting to a stop and turning around okay now this guy was like. Outta. This. World.
He had sharp hazel eyes, dark arched eyebrows, a pointy nose, wavy navy blue hair bouncing around his eyes and neck and a perfectly sculpted jaw. I had to admit among the idols I'd seen his looks were eye-catching. I was just getting used to seeing eye candy everywhere I go around this school but it seemed I hadn't been prepared for this one.
Now I could see he was an idol but I caught myself surprised that I didn't know him as I knew almost every idol from the 4th gen even some 3rd gen to the 6th gen. So how did I not know him?
He stretched his hand without speaking, I touched the back of my hand around the door handle which wouldn't unlock but I realised had the card. So I took it out of my back pocket waiting for the right moment.
"What are you doing here, I haven't seen you here before. Who are you? Why do you have my lip balm?" He asked in his deep voice, he seemed to be slightly agitated but controlling the levels of his voice. He seemed cold and almost scary, so knowing the dumb person I am instead of explaining myself and clearing this up I said nothing and just stared at him, he just looked even more annoyed by my no response.
So when he was about to step forward towards me I scanned and took a brave stupid step back and fell.
Well almost fell.
It was a staircase and I had almost taken a step backwards onto the air, fell and killed myself as it was a steep staircase. But luckily the guy held my wrist and pulled me back and we both fell on the floor ahead. I'm pretty sure he was very pissed off and thought I was some saesang (stalker) as I realised I was holding his lip balm.
I dropped it and stood up and bowed twice and left.
Leaving his confused self to sit there. The rest of the day I asked myself if it was worth it, I could've died falling down that staircase and I didn't even thank him. I even volunteered to clean the classroom after school as everyone dreads it when it's their turn.
I left school late around 6 when on my way home seeing the poster of MonXer on the side of the school bus stop instead of Six and Teen as they always used to use posters of them there. I felt annoyed. I mean it's not like I dislike MonXer not.
Of course not.
.... I kicked it in annoyance though almost damaging one of their faces, not knowing behind me the same guy from before was standing there. I turned around embarrassed acting like it wasn't me who created a dent.
"There's a dent in my face now, and also thank you for returning the lip balm since I don't think you intentionally stole it right?."
He said looking at me I honestly had no idea why he would thank me even though it looked like I stole it.
"Urm... well you see my lips were dry and I just needed a lip balm and I ended up in that building. somehow, I'm not a saesang though."
He nodded chuckling (why the hell are you laughing -_-) as I said squeamishly looking at the ground, I was too embarrassed. After that, he got in a big black van and left with his manager and his other member.
Only after is when I realised what he meant by 'you made a dent in my face' I crouched down staring at the end. There was a blue-haired guy with the same striking facial features... it was him. Park Joon Tae from MonXer (the group I secretly disliked).
Well...
This is not how I imagined to meet an idol. At all.
That's when I felt REAL regret.
