Description
The next day, Amethyst woke up grumpy and went to SNU grumpy. She didn't feel like talking to anyone at all. All day she kept to herself, unless she was called on by the teacher to do something. Other than that, she said nothing, and had an angry expression on her face.

Going through her first three classes, she again goes to the cafe, hopefully that she'll be alone. If not, she would like to be left alone. But of course, like yesterday, Taehyun was there. Just knowing he's there is annoying Amethyst already. She tried to avoid him, but he motioned for her to come over to the table. She sighed rudely and went to him, while walking up to the table, she thought of a way to introduce herself.

Before Taehyun could say anything, Amethyst spoke first, slamming her hands on the table. "I noticed I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Amethyst, but I'm sure you can't pronounce that." Seriously, what non-native English speaker can pronounce a name like 'Amethyst?' He will surely screw it up. she thought.

"Hello, Amethyst." Taehyun said, while looking surprised with the way she is sounding in her voice.

And his stupid perfect English gets me again. Amethyst was not happy about it at all.

"Your name is pretty." Taehyun complimented.

"Oh shut up."

Taehyun's eyes widen at her response. "Are you okay?"

"Just great." Amethyst lied.

"You can sit here and talk about it." Taehyun wasn't buying it. "I mean...I know we barely know anything about each other, but this could be a start."

"I rather not." Amethyst's responses are becoming shorter and a bit more harsher each time.

"Why not? It's good to talk about things and get them off your chest. I promise you can trust me. I may or may not have the best advice, but I'm always open when someone needs-"

"You're annoying as heck." Amethyst cut Taehyun off.

"I..." Taehyun was lost for words. He only talked to Amethyst twice before now, but he didn't think she would act like this. "Amethyst, I-"

"I'm leaving. I need peace." Amethyst walked away from the table and out of the cafe, leaving Taehyun alone.

Taehyun is still surprised at how she was speaking to him just now. But right now, he won't let it bother him. He assumed that she was very upset or mad at something and it's making her speak in such ways. It happens to everyone, maybe she'll be better tomorrow. He thought.

But there is a secret that's in Taehyun's mind...or rather...his heart. He likes Amethyst. The day they ran into each other at Starbucks, looking at her, she was so beautiful. A week later, when he found out that she will be attending the same university, his heart started to skip beats. The way she spoke to him that day, her voice was gentle, especially when she said 'oppa', it was so adorable. And when they sang and played the piano together...it was heavenly. He wanted to believe it was love at first sight, but he doesn't want to get ahead of himself and end up getting hurt in the end. But there's nothing wrong with having a crush, right? He'll just have to try hard to stop himself from falling any harder, but there is no promises.

But what was wrong with Amethyst? He wanted to know, but he won't force her to talk about it if she doesn't want to. All he can hope for right now is that she feels better by tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of the day, Amethyst wanted to leave as soon as possible and be home. She left the building and was walking toward the entrance to get out and make it to her bus stop. She was in a hurry and didn't pay attention where she was going, which ended up running to someone.

"Mianhaeyo!" She said, then she look to see who it was, and she was angry again. "Aaaah, aniyo...aniyo..."

"Mwo?" Taehyun was confused.

"Is there ever going to be a day that I don't run into you?"

Okay...that was rude...Taehyun thought. But he has to remember that Amethyst is upset still. "Are you sure you don't want to talk about it, Ame?"

"Ame? Ame? Are you serious right now? Are you seriously giving me a nickname right now?" Amethyst was not impressed.

"I thought it suits you well..." Taehyun felt a little hurt by her response. Even though she's just mad, the way she's speaking him is getting to him a little bit.

Amethyst sighed. She wanted to say more, but she somehow managed to hold back. "If you excuse me, I need to walk to my bus stop." she started to walk away.

"I can take you home." Taehyun offered.

Amethyst looked back at Taehyun and studied at him. Without any thought she replied. "I rather take the bus." and continued to walk away.

You could have at least thanked me for the offer....Taehyun didn't like how Amethyst responded. He walked to his car, continuing to hope that his friend will be her normal self tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When she finally got home, Amethyst just went straight to her room and fell onto her bed. Today was so stressful, she thought she wasn't going to make it through the whole day. And because of it, she has no inspiration to try to write a song again. Especially when that Taehyun guy keeps annoying her, she couldn't help but to become angrier. She wants to scream.

Amethyst finally got up and went to her desk. She took out her journal and wrote in it. Besides singing, or anything related to music, writing was Amethyst's next comfort. She keeps a journal to write down very emotional things, both good things and bad things. Most of the things she written are good things, since she rather keep happy memories. But today is one of those rare bad things that she wants write down just to get out of her system. While writing, tears were flowing in her eyes. She wrote about the anger from the night before from not being able to write a song, to about how annoying Taehyun was. Afterward, her writing went from angry to putting herself down, both as a person and a singer.

After putting herself down, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and cried. Tonight became one of those rare nights that Amethyst will be going to bed crying.
