You & 1: Part 2

I wanna pull her hand so bad, so she can leave her friends faster. The urge to talk to her stacks piece by piece in my heart after what I see at the basketball court.

He seems in a hurry, but I know if he forces me, I won't like it. He knows me well enough to treat me with respect. Or else, there will be a fight tonight. I can see his lips tremble like he has been holding something inside.

"Talk," Pan halts when she feels the distance between them and her friends is far enough.

Zee glares at her and smacks his lips before sipping the air deep.

With no argument, Pan hands out her book. Zee takes it and flips page by page.

"Only a few left. I can make it even before the deadline," she says in a calm tone.

"There is not much of girls' signature..."

"What choice do I have if they refuse to sign?" Pan replies.

Zee holds the book in his hand. He stares at Pan.

"I know this is not my business, but I hope you can tone down your social life," he says.

"I don't get it," Pan answers in short.

"I saw what happened at the basketball court."

"I'm not. Just happened to be in the right place, at the right time,"

Pan shakes her head in disbelief.

"It's not enough that you're close with the Econ Moon, you wanna be close with another man?"

"I saw him pick you up the other night,"

"We met each other that night as well. Should I argue about that too?"

Zee shuts himself. His eyes pierce deep into her sight.

"I... I just wanna remind you about your mission. Don't stray away from that. You had a promise with Shu..."

"I'm not that stupid, Zee. I know my ground. I'm not a teen anymore," Pan starts getting annoyed. She wants to put him in his place, but she doesn't wanna be rude.

I know I shouldn't care much about her. But, seeing her mingled around them makes me feel insecure. I wanna protect her but I'm nobody to her. Those boys... They are threats to her.

Why are you treating me like I still belong to you? I have my business, and so do you! Now I feel more insecure because of this!

"Fine. I won't interfere anymore. But, please take care of yourself. For Shu,"

"No need to remind me about that. And stop using Shu's name to threaten me,"

The air goes silent. Zee sighs a bit. He then grits his teeth and...

He hands the book to Pan. She is about to grab the book, but suddenly Zee pulls it tight. They are having a mini tug-a-war session for a moment.

"Be careful..." Zee gives her a soft reminder.

Pan leans closer to Zee, staring deep into his eyes. Her lips crook up a bit while tilting her head to the side.

"I know how it feels to get hurt, I learned my lesson. So, don't worry..." her smile fades from her face. "I'm not that innocent," Pan yanks the book in a harsh gesture from Zee.

How should I tell her about my feelings?

Zee, tell me what's inside your mind...

"I gotta go now," says Zee. He turns around and walks away. Pan shuts her eyes tight and breathes in deeply.

"For what?!" the man yells as he is already far from her. Pan halts a bit, eyes moving to the side. She bites her lips.

Zee stuns. He stares at Pan. The girl nods and lifts her shoulder a bit. Slowly, Zee draws a tiny smile on his face.

So, you did remember it, Pan...

I'll never forget that, Zee...
