Mew Mint

The afternoon was gray and windy.

Mint walked through the city with her arms crossed, trying to ignore the knot in her chest. Her expression remained elegant and proud on the outside, but on the inside she was a mess.

The whole day had been a nightmare.

Some people had mocked her for seeming too refined, too serious, too different. Others had commented on her appearance with a cruelty that still pained her to recall.

The worst part was that they had smiled while doing it.

As if watching her suffer was fun.

Mint had managed to get away before losing her temper, but now tears ran silently down her cheeks as she walked without paying attention to the path.

He tried to dry his eyes quickly.

She didn't want anyone to see her like that.

Then, as he turned a corner, he accidentally bumped into someone.

The shock was enough to make her react purely on instinct.

"Leave me alone once and for all!" he suddenly exclaimed.

Her voice came out louder than she intended.

She stepped back sharply and looked up, clearly angry. For a moment she seemed ready to continue arguing, as if she were expecting another taunt, another laugh, or another unpleasant comment.

His heart was beating strongly.

But then reality finally caught up with her.

That person was not one of those who had laughed at her.

That person didn't even seem to understand why she was so upset.

The anger gradually disappeared from his face.

Mint remained motionless.

Her eyes opened slightly and an expression of horror crossed her face as she realized how she had reacted.

—...Oh.

The silence was unbearably awkward.

He immediately lowered his gaze.

Her hands were trembling slightly.

I wasn't angry with you.

I never had been.

I was simply tired of feeling judged.

Tired of pretending everything was okay.

Tired of trying to be perfect.
