365 Degrees― CH. 2

“completing the circle” written by. Rielin

bgm produce 101 - oh little girl (piano or original)

“Wh- What th...?!”

The confused female couldn’t help but to stumble her words when the once-hated neighbor randomly reached toward her. She quickly backed away a step, covering her forehead in hopes of hiding her reddened cheeks. On the other side, Elsword still remained confused as ever at her awkward actions; he assumed she was sick due to her nervousness along with her flushed cheeks, yet no hint of warmth was transferred during the time his skin shared contact with hers. Elsword shrugged as if he was saying ‘Guess not’.

Then the hand that was covering the reddened forehead of Eve’s naturally moved toward her nose, her petite hands overlapped with one another, somewhat ineffectively blocking her airway.

What is that stench?

After asking herself, her glance was directed toward the overly filled garbage bags near his hands. It was stinking smell consisting of alcohol, various kinds of drugs, and puke, and smelling all of that mixed with one another sure made Eve want to throw up as well. Because the constant stench that lingered in the air fused with the thought of puking, Eve couldn’t help but let out a weak cough.

“Oh, you are sick!”

Wat.

“N- no, I’m not!”

Huh?

“But you just coughed! And like… your face is super red,”

God damn it.

Eve released a stressful sigh and said,

“No, I’m not sick but thank you,”

And with those words, she quickly covered her reddened cheeks with her silvery locks hanging near her ear. She grabbed her nearly-full trash bags as well and decided to swiftly leave the place that was constantly making her nervous. Yet that was not the case according to Elsword.

“Oh, I’m going the same way,”

Eve turned around with a slight hint of frown. He was letting out an innocent laugh like a little child. Why did she not notice the trash bags?! Of course, they’re going the same way. And of course, Elsword being the one always wanting to explore more into the society and meet new people, this was not something new for him. In fact, he have always wanted to meet his next door neighbor, for she was never seen outside of her house. He have even wondered, does anyone live there? Yet during silent nights, he have often heard gentle indie music and mumbled radio noises from the other side of the wall, and somehow those noises have helped him through his sleep at times. Therefore he always wanted to meet whoever was living on the other side of the wall, he have never expected it be such a petite, fragile girl that's also a liar saying she's not sick.

The two walked down the staircase and arrived at their destination where there is a giant dumpster for the apartment residents to throw their trash bags in. Elsword easily threw his garbages away and offered a hand for Eve, since he constantly thought that she’s so fragile and sick and that he must help. On the other hand, Eve was extremely nervous around new strangers and the visual image of Elsword placing his hand on top of her forehead kept repeating within her mind, making her cheeks even more heated. She handed her trash to Elsword, who lightly threw it into the dumpster. She quietly thanked him yet it seemed like he didn't hear her.

“...,”

The silver haired female lazily spreaded her body across her comfortable mattress as it sunk her restless body down. She returned home from doing just one errand, throwing away her trash, and she’s already tired. Then her hand started to pat down the sheets as if was searching for something, only to lay her hands on her phone. She expertly flipped the device toward the correct direction and pressed on the home button, the LED lights displaying rather brightly in the dim room. She maneuvered her thumb to click on an app called Contacts and scrolled down, only to come to a halt in front of a new contact called ‘Elsword’.

How did this happen…

Eve reflected back to just mere ten minutes ago, when the two arrived in front of their doorstep. Eve decided to say farewell and go back into her apartment, yet her neighbor stopped her by calling her ‘hey, neighbor’.

Like I know he doesn’t know my name, but what the hell?! Neighbor?

At that moment, Eve turned around as she bit her lower lip, somewhat fearful of whatever his request was. But to her surprise, he simply handed her his phone and asked,

“You wanna exchange numbers?”

How could she resist a such contentful face when he was smiling like that…? She merely thought of him as a troublesome neighbor and was looking forward to moving out within the next month, yet it seemed like he wasn’t much of a lousy person, but a friendly one. She shyly handed her phone as well and the two entered their digits in, saving it with their name; Elsword and Eve.

Eve pressed on the name displaying Elsword. There was no picture, no address, simply just his name and his phone number. She haven’t had a new contact in her list for as long as she could remember… the last time was during her last semester when she was forced to work with a random student her professor assigned her with… and that her partner never replied to her text messages nor answered her calls so she had to complete all of the work. She let out a stressful sigh at a such annoying past that forever resides within her memories. Then at that moment, her finger accidentally slipped, releasing her grip on the phone as it landed right on top of her nose.

“Ouch…!”

She grouched out with annoyance as she raised herself up from her position and rubbed her nose in hopes of making the pain disappear. Then all of a sudden-

“Hello?”

What is that…? Who…

She glanced around. She clearly heard a rather low, husky voice saying ‘Hello’ yet there was no one but her in the room. Suddenly feeling scared at the thought of a ghost or stalker lurking inside her house, she stood up and grabbed one of her heaviest textbooks that she was forced to pay full price for and never used.

At times like this… this textbook can be useful, she thought.

“Uh… Eve?”

“Who is it?! Come out here right now!”

After hearing who this man was, calling her name, she felt goosebumps rising on her skin. She screamed out, showing hint of bravery yet she knew she was about to pee herself in fear.

“Um… What the…”

I… I have to call the police…!

She thought, perhaps the police can resolve this issue. She quickly reached toward her phone, only to realize that she… was in middle of a call? Her phone displayed a screen which she was in a call for thirty seconds… with Elsword?!

What is this? Since when-

She thought to herself, then the moment when she was looking at her newly added contact, Elsword came into her mind. Then her finger accidentally slipped, only to drop on her nose. Perhaps… when the phone landed on her nose, it touched the screen and pressed call?

Oh my god, what do I do?!

She thought as she panicked, placing her textbook down on the floor with a loud thud.

[Uh… what was that? Are you okay, Ev-]

She hung up.

“Um…,”

She said as she glanced around, trying to recollect her thoughts to understand the current situation, yet her brain wasn’t working properly.

Then at that moment, someone knocked on her door rather loudly. But she didn’t even end up calling the police… who could it be?

She opened the door, and the person behind it revealed it to be no other than Elsword himself.

“Are you okay, Eve? I heard a thud…,”

He drifted his sentence off into silence. Eve decided to open up her lips and said,

“I- I’m fine. Sorry, I dropped my phone and I guess I accidentally called you. Thanks for worrying about me,”

Another moment of silence. After a hint of hesitation, Elsword said,

“Ah… But your nose is bleeding,”

“WHAT,”

With those words, Eve dashed into her bathroom and flickered the light on. With panicked eyes, she stared into the mirror which reflected her appearance…

Ah… my nose is bleeding…

Not only that,

Ah… my hair's a mess, my outfit’s a mess… I’m a mess.

Only to make it worse, Elsword had entered her bathroom as well as if he was worried about her.

I didn’t even invite him in…?! Why did he enter?!

A mess. A definite mess.

“Hahaha,”

What the hell is he laughing at?!

Eve whipped her head back to glance at Elsword, who was actually laughing at her with a childish laugh?!

“Ha- Hmph, Sorry,”

He said as he cleared his throat, yet Eve glimpsed hint of smile across his face. Is this funny?! While she was desperately crying on the inside, he was laughing at her appearance… right now!
