Distant

Nia and Kris were hanging out with each other very often. They were becoming closer. Nia was very happy that a introverted person like Kris happily spends time with her. That means he likes her.

As usual Nia went to Kris for her class. She saw Kris was busy in the kitchen.

" Hello, chef Kris. "

Kris was already in a hurry.

" Don't rush in cooking. "

" I wanted to eat some homemade meals but it take so much time and effort. "

" You rest. After our class finishes I'll help you. "

Kris was relieved then. He started tutoring Nia. After their class ended Nia went to the kitchen.

" Will you really help me ? " asked Kris

" Yeah. "

" Do you know how to cook ? "

" No, but I can chop veggies and clean your kitchen. "

Nia started helping Kris. They were having fun in working. Almost everything was done then Nia got hurt.

" What happened ? "

" Nothing. Just cut my finger a bit. "

Kris came close to her hurriedly and took her hand to see. Nia felt an electric shock as he hold her hand.

" You should've been careful. "

" I..m sorry. " Words weren’t coming out of her mouth.

Kris looked to her and they eye contacted. Nia was excited, scared, happy all at the same time.

Nia on her inner mind " Is he too close to me ? Why ? "

Kris got away after few seconds. He was avoiding eye contact now " You wash your hand lightly with water. Don't touch the wound. "

Nia was covered in questions " Was he normally close to me or something else ? "

She came out of the bathroom and saw a guitar in his room " Is it the same guitar he played in the balcony ? "

Nia went to open it from the cover " It looks so fancy. Must be expensive. "

At that time Kris came " What are you doing ? "

" This guitar... I wanted to look at it. "

" How can you look at my things without my permission ? " He sounded angry plus annoyed

" I.. m sorry. I'll not do that if you don’t like it. "

" Nobody likes it. That's basic common sense. Anyways you helped me enough. You should leave. "

Kris indirectly kicked Nia out. " Maybe he's sensitive. He has emotional attachment with his guitar or... "

Next Day :

Nia was in class buy her mind was with Kris. The teacher called her name but she didn’t listen.

" Nia...."

" What ? "

" Welcome to earth. I suggest you to stop mingling with Myungsoo. "

" Miss, I know I'm your favourite. " said Myungsoo confidently

" I'm sorry. I dozed off. " said Nia apologetically

" Don't say sorry. The damage is already done."

Nia realised that most of the time saying sorry benefits no one " What should I say then except saying sorry ? If I knew what to do then the mistake won't happen. I have nothing except owning my mistake and say sorry. "

Nia was talking as if Kris was there to understand her.

" I don’t know it. I'm not your psychology teacher. Pay attention in class. "

" Nia, are you okay ? " asked Lyla

" Kris is acting weird. We were getting really close but he pushed me away. I don’t know what I did wrong. "

" You liked the wrong person, Nia. He played you. Why you were such a fool ? " said Myungsoo angrily

At that time the most irritating and bitch girl in class Irene overheard the conversation She always hated Nia " Finally, Nia you tried to woo a guy but he saw your intentions and left you. I don’t know when Myungsoo will left you. "

" Irene, enough. We're not interested in hearing your bullshit. " said Myungsoo

" Did Kris got to know that I like him ? Of course he disgusts me. " said Nia in a sad manner

" Nia, stop demeaning yourself. There must be a different matter. Just talk to him. " said Lyla

" There’s nothing to talk. He's a weird guy. He himself got close to Nia and acted that Nia was wrong. I want to break his legs. " said Myungsoo

" Thank you for cheering me guys. I'll talk to him today. It's better to kill my feelings for him earlier. It'll be less painful for me. "

Nia went home and was getting ready for her tutoring lessons but her mother came to inform her that Kris won't tutor her that day because of his sickness.

" Sick ? As in how fatigue, headache, fever or cancer. "

" I don’t know. He's tired maybe. You're not easy to handle. "

Nia was confused Was Kris avoiding her ? She knocked on his door.

He wasn’t happy to see her " I informed your eomma that.... "

" I know. You're ill. I just want to know what's my mistake. Did I do anything to hurt you ? Just because I touched your guitar.... "

" That guitar is just an instrument for you but not for me. "

" So, you’re avoiding me because I touched your guitar. "

" You're not that important for me. I'm not avoiding you. Why are you so clinging to me ? You're invading my privacy. "

Nia heart got crushed hearing Kris's words. Her voice was cracking because she was about to cry but she tried to hold them. " Clinging ?... Invading?....I'll.. make sure... not to do that in the future. "

Nia ran to the terrace to hide her pain.

***What is it that's making Kris distant to Nia ? There's no way he'll react like this back cause Nia touched his precious guitar.

I'm sorry for being lazy I'll try to update quickly***.
