Myungsoo was on the way to a convenience store which means he also on the same area as Hyunjee. He raised an eyebrow, 'Huh? Why is she here...... All alone?' He thought. He stared at her, She looked really nice in that dress. She looked beautiful, stunning and cute all at the same time.
He decided to walk towards her, just in case she needed a company.
She was walking on the sidewalks and was about to cross the road when a sport car was speeding in like 140km/hour towards her direction. She didn't pay attention to the road because she was listening to the music with the volume almost to the max.
Myungsoo snapped out from his thoughts and realized that Hyunjee was about to get hit by a car. "HYUNJEE!!" He shouted her name from afar but it didn't make any difference because the road was almost empty and no one paid attention to him nor her.
He quickly ran towards her and crashed himself to the hard ground with Hyunjee in his arms. Then the car just continued to speed away. He sacrificed himself in order to save the one he loves. Yes, he loves her.
His head hit the ground quite hard and it left a scar on his forehead and some other scars spread around his arms and legs because his almost all of his exposed skin brushed the hard ground.
Everything went blur on both of their sights.
When Hyunjee opened her eyes and regained her consciousness, she could only feel warmth from his body. And when she realized that it was Myungsoo, she quickly sat upright on the ground and placed his head on her thighs, "Myungsoo!!" She yelled at the moment she realized his eyes were firmly shut, his forehead was bleeding and she thought that he fainted. She gently caressed his cheeks with both of her thumbs while calling his name multiple times.
"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry." She felt guilty. If only she paid attention to the road, none of this would happen. She closed her eyes and felt her tears rolling down her cheeks, and then suddenly she felt something wiped her tears.
She quickly opened her eyes as wide as she could and saw that Myungsoo has awakened. He weakly smiled at her while his thumb still preventing her tears to hit the ground, "You look horrible when you cry." He said as she chuckled with a little sob following it. She quickly pulled him into a hug. She felt relieved. He was shocked by her action but then he hugged her back and caressed her back. At that time, she felt safe. She wanted to stay like this forever but she knew it's impossible.
"I'm sorry, Myungsoo, I'm so sorry." She sobbed and buried her head on the side of his neck.
"Hey hey, look at me,” He broke the hug and looked straight into her eyes while placing both of his hands on her shoulder, “I'm okay." He said with a wide smile. She replied with a relieved smile and another tear rolling down her cheek.
Suddenly he felt dizzy. He winced in pain but he lowered his voice so she couldn't hear it. But unfortunately she realized it. She looked at him and she knew that he was not okay. So she decided to stop a taxi and got both of them to the hospital.
Done with his treatments, the doctor said that there was nothing serious. Just let him gets some rest and he'll be okay. The dizziness was caused because he was losing bloods, although it wasn't that much. And the doctor also told her that he needed to stay in the hospital for at least a day to get a proper meals and to make sure that he’ll get rest for the rest of the day.
Hyunjee had already called his and her mom and they said they were on the way. She then decided to go to his room. She was in time to get there because the nurse just delivered his meals. That means she could feed him. She sat on the side of his bed, "Are you feeling okay now?" She worriedly asked.
"I said I'm okay, Hyunjee-ah~ you know that I'm strong, right?" He convincingly said as he tried to show up his biceps.
She chuckled when he failed to show up his muscles because the pain suddenly stung as he winced in pain, "Yah, don't do that! You could show me later." She said as she brought his meals over.
And then there she was, feeding a boy who was behaving like a five year old. She made a gesture to open his mouth and pretended that the spoon was a plane which was about to land, just like mothers to their babies.
When she almost finished feeding him, the door slammed open and Mrs. Kim came in and approached him with a worried look, "Myungsoo dear, are you okay?!" She asked while holding his face to check the bruises and scars.
"I'm okay mom," He said trying to calm her down. "Oh and anyway, here's my friend, Hyunjee. Remember?" He said turning to Hyunjee as she stood up, put the plate back to its place and bowed.
"I'm sorry I caused this mess," She said to his mom before his mom could say anything to her.
"It isn't your fault, Hyunjee dear. The thing is, I'm so grateful that you two are okay." She said and gave her an eye-smiled.
Realizing that Hyunjee was the one who took care and fed him, Mrs. Kim thanked her.
Minutes passed and there was another slam at the door, but this one was a lot quieter than before. And there she was, Hyunjee's mom. She then came approached them and asked if they were okay. And then she saw a familiar figure standing next to the boy’s bed. Their eyes met, and she finally realized that she was her old friend, Mrs. Kim. They hugged and then they excused themselves to get to the cafeteria since they haven't got their meals. They left him alone with her.
The atmosphere was quiet but it wasn't awkward either. She then opened her mouth to start up a conversation, "I'm so sorry..." She said as she sat back on the side of his bed.
"Hey, you already apologized a zillion times," he joked but earned no laughs, "I said I'm okay, Hyunjee-ah~" he said patting her head and soothingly ruffled her hair with a smile plastered on his face.
"If only I paid attention to the road, none of this would happen," She said again with a frown.
"Yah, stop blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault!" He said half yelling but in a nice way as she stayed still with a guilty look on her face.
"It's okay.." He said again and pulled her into a hug this time. She returned the hug and stayed that way for a quite long time.
"Thank you." She softly muttered but still could be heard because her lips were so close to his ear as he caressed her back to make her comfortable.
The next day, she called him to make sure if he was okay. He told her that he was okay and already arrived back home. He also told her that there was nothing to worry about. She asked him if he'll come to school tomorrow and he said yes.
She was inside her room later that day after finihed her dinner. She was lying on the bed and the thoughts of Myungsoo couldn’t leave her mind. If he hadn't come, she wouldn't be here right now. And she also felt that when she was near him, there was nothing to worry about. Nothing bad would happen. She wanted to always be by his side. Whenever she's sad, he's always there to comfort her and makes her forget about the things that made her sad.
Oh and speaking of sad, she had just remembered of what made her sad. She just wanted to forget about it. She shook away the thoughts of Kris immediately. But come to think of it, she'll meet him eventually because tomorrow is Monday which means school.
She shook away her thoughts and went into a deep slumber.
On the next day, school was a lot louder than usual. There were a lot of chattering along the hallway and she managed to hear something that caught her attention.
"Did you see the website?"
"Are they dating?"
"What's going on between them?"
"I still can't believe that Kris oppa is already taken."
The last statement caught her attention the most. She was curious on what's happening. Then suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder which made her jolted. It was Woori.
"Hey have you seen the news?" Woori asked to her dumbfounded friend.
"What news?" She asked back.
"Oh girl, where have you been? Don't you know that our school has a website? Well it's more of an unofficial website that talks about what's going on with all the students, gossips to be exact." She said muttering the last part but still loud enough to be heard.
She quickly took out her phone and tapped on the link that Woori sent. While loading, Myungsoo and Sungjong came approached them and asked about the news too. Of course the boys had already read it.
Just when her phone finished loading, she drew full attention to the phone. But then her face fell. Her eyes became watery. She looked lifeless. At that time she just wanted to cry her heart out. But she didn't want to cry in front of her best friends, so she held it back.
And unfortunately Myungsoo clearly saw it. 'So he was the one, huh?'
In the class, she still looked lifeless. Her mind drifted somewhere far away from the subject in the class. That was when his heart began to ache, seeing someone you love, hurt.
Meanwhile during recess,
"I'm sure I put it here last time!" Jiyeon said to Hyerim in a panic when she checked every edges of her locker and still didn't find any sign of her pocket camera that she left on Friday.
Junghee then came running towards her best friends direction and reached out her phone while panting heavily.
"What is it?" Hyerim took and read it carefully. She gasped at what she just read and then shoved the phone to Jiyeon who gasped even more.
She was shocked as she covered her mouth and let out another gasp, 'This picture............' Jiyeon thought.
