summary: years after treating you like you don't exist, Zack decides he cannot take it anymore. What was supposed to be an apology, ended up being something entirely else.
warning: Mild violence, cult leader mentioned, feeling left out
It had been 4 years.
4 freaking years.
But zack made absolute no efforts on getting the friendship the three of you had back on track. Everything just had to be about Johan and Mira. Despite being in the same class, he never even spared a glance at you. Always spending time with either Mira or his rats.
It wasn't like Mira was any better. She always looked at you with so much guilt you hated it. After all why wouldn't she feel guilty when you took the hit for her when the weird cult leader wanted to inflict it upon her.
Realizing it will never be the same as it was, you gave up. Because why should you care about the people who don't care about you? You dropped off everything you all would do together. Their clothes when they came over would now be found in the trash can. You disposed the things that reminded you of them. You became free. You felt free.
The only thing you didn't drop off was boxing. You were a prodigy. YOU were the one to introduce them to boxing. So why should YOU quit it. The coach was basically your second father. There is no way you would let them ruin boxing for you. So there you were, in front of the person you swore to forget.
His hair was was messy. His white t shirt now drenched in sweat , revealing his toned body. You both looked at each other in surprise. Before continuing your business. You slid the zipper of your track suit down as you looked around trying to find another punching bag .
You wrapped the bandages around you hand that was supposed to protect you knuckles. You wore you gloves and went toward the punching bag that was at the other side of the room. Connecting your headphones to your phone you play your favorite song. Doing your warm up before violating the punching bag. You could feel the eyes of zack. But chose to ignore it.
After an hour of kicking and punching the bag ruthlessly he decided to take a break. A stupid excuse to watch you actually. He wanted to see whether you changed or not. He could only pray to Buddha that you changed for the better.He won't lie he wanted to apologize, wanted to embrace you, talk to you like how he did when nothing happened but he knew he would only make it harder for you. You had a great group of friends that cared for you. He knew that and couldn't help but ignore you. As if you didn't exist. He felt his chest tighten at the memory of you looking at him with such betrayal after the cruel things he said to you. He decided it was enough. He went up to you, wanting to apologize.
"Hey, let's fight and see who is more stronger."
Shit. He didn't mean that. You on the other hand, were dumbfounded.
"Ummmm..... Okayyyy. Sure. " It was quite awkward.
Both of you got inside the ring. You in a red gloves and him in blue.
As both of you threw punches at each other. 30 mins in the fight,Zack realized that you were stronger than him and were just toying with him. He swiped his feet, catching you surprised and landed his first punch. Right on your nose. With a bleeding nose you kicked his jaw with your heel and and punched right under his jaw.
As he was falling he caught on to your arm and pulled you down with him. Causing you to straddle his waist.
Both of you stared at each other. With so much to say.
"I'm sorry. "
"For what. "
"Everything"
"What is 'everything' ? "
"I am sorry i ignored you. I am sorry i never made an effort. I am sorry i never bothered asking how you were doing. I am sorry I was never there when you needed me the most. I am so so so sorry. "
"I see. "
" Do you forgive me? "
"Not really"
"Y/N I am so sor-"
"Stand up. "
When he stood up your back was facing him. The moment you felt something shift you twisted you leg and threw a punch at him.
"OWCH" He clutched his whole face.
"Now I forgive you. " You told him as you wore the brightest smile in the world. Blinding him.
You walked towards your bag. Packed your stuff. Zack was still there watching your every move.
You opened the glass door halfway before saying.
"Hey , you stink by the way . See you tomorrow at the school, chestnut. "
Zack had a stupid love stricken smile as he watched you leave.
He missed that nickname so goddamn much. Not that he would admit.
With a blushing face and a thumping heart Zack couldn't help but pray that the morning comes early.

summary: while living with your soon to be trash husband you find yourself falling in love with the person you're not meant to be with.
warning: mention of ostracization of the reader
● ╏ ╏ ●
You were the shaman's son's bride. That was the sole purpose of your life. To marry him and produce heirs to carry on the lineage.
While you were training on how to become a proper wife, seongji was training on how to become a guard for the same man. Your ways collided alot. Seeing eachother often, it was soon that both of you held the other close as a comfort in the hell operated by the shaman.
Before you realised, you were in love him. Smitten by him.
● ╏ ╏ ●
"We shouldn't do this." You giggled , your hands kissing seongji's hands. You were in the kitchen for some food late at night. You found some cheese and offered it to him. With grateful eyes, he accepts it.
Ever since you were young, you always wondered, what is love?
But now you knew.
Love is when they are all dirty and tattered but still you find them lovely. Love is when you are not afraid of what the future holds all because you have them .
Love is love only when done fiercely.
You pushed his black locs behind his ears as you see him feast on the bread and cheese you bought for him. Both of you in the ground , your chin tucked under your knees.
You grab his face pulling yourself to him.
Just a little more
Just then the doors flew open.
What is he doing here?
You could see Taejin's face waver a bit when he saw the close proximity of seongji and you before being completely over taken by anger.
"How dare you"
Were the first word spoken by taejin as he grabbed seongji by hair and pulled him out of the house.
You could only watch as the love of you life was torn away from you.
You froze as you saw horrifying side of Taejin and his men beating up him and dragging him by his hair to god knows where.
A maid soon came rushing from her quarters to collect you.
● ╏ ╏ ●
You watched everything happen. You knew what would happen. Yet still you continued doing it. That was your first mistake.
The next mistake was talking to taejin about it. He certainly was not very happy.
So unhappy that he starved you of human interaction. During this time all you could think about was seongji.
Whatever that happened, was it good for him? I mean he is finally free from this hell, isn't he?
But few selfish thoughts also plagued your mind. You wished he was still there, tending to you. With you. Loving you.
But you knew that was no longer possible.
After a month, you became desperate, looking forward to any company.
Even Taejin.
but even still Seongji plagued your mind.
You wanted him still. You craved him. You thought maybe, just maybe seongji would come , and take you away. But that never happened. Maybe Taejin was right all along. He is a good for nothing bastard ready to pounce on any girl who gives him the slightest attention. But deep down you knew, he too loved you.
● ╏ ╏ ●
It has been years now. You are now to wed him.
Soon.
Your maid was brushing your hair as you at gazed your face in the mirror. So same yet so different.
Suddenly you heard a yelling. Of a guy your age.
Biting you lips you ponder. Curiosity taking over you, you go out to take a look at the situation.
Vinjin!
You remember him! He was the new sacrifice. You have him food but that was it. You heard rumours that he now lives at the top of the mountain with seongji. Now the man you hate.
You were immediately ushered in by the maids. You kept on trying to eaves drop what's going outside. But your maids would not allow.
Finally you couldn't take it anymore.
You ran out the first sight broke your heart. All the hatred you bore for the man now vanished as you ran towards him and cried.
"hey, why are you crying?" He spoke with his gentle voice. The voice you always loved. His sixth fingers and toes were cut off.
You cried that day for the first time since that day. With a few unknown men surrounding you.
You knew you were home, but you couldn't be for long.
You knew you both were just meant to meet, not be.
