~Yumi~

---------------------

"Yumi?? Yumi?? Helloo~~"

I looked up from my books as Yuri looked at me

"What the hell are you thinking? You've been spacing out the entire day. What's wrong?" She asked

I shrugged

"Not really. I've... been thinking about exams" I mumbled

"Liar. Tell me"

I sighed

"I think someone followed me last night" I mumbled

"What? Followed? What do you mean by followed?" She asked

"Followed.. as in.. after my shift at the café last night I heard footsteps behind me but I'm not sure who it was or if the person even followed me.. but whenever I turned, this person kept following. And when I turned around to see if there was anyone there, There was no one in sight" I mumbled

"Oh my.. Are you okay?" Yuri asked

"I... am Okay. But I'm just scared. What if that person.. "

"Yumi, listen.. you're here now. You're okay and that is all that matters at the moment. Don't walk alone in the dark ever again okay? You never know what guys are capable of doing nowadays" She said

I nodded in agreement

"I'm just glad I'm okay. If he was.. a .. or..."

"Let's not think any further. You'll think of crazier things and that is going to mess up with your head and you'll end up crazy" Yuri said

As we went out from the study room in the library I tried to concentrate on where I was walking as I felt my heart thumping weird. I bid a quick farewell to Yuri who stopped to talk to a few classmates. I hurried down the hallway as I took deep breaths but for some reason it started to beat faster. I felt myself getting dizzy by the minute. I pulled the jacket closer to myself and hurried outside to get som fresh air, hoping that I would feel better. I walked fast across the grass and hurried over to the parking lot where I soon felt myself wanting to collapse.

"Yumi?"

I couldn't look up cause I felt my heart beating hard inside my chest 

"Yumi?"

I threw a quick glance as he bended down and it turned out to be Changmin. Changmin had a worried look on his face

"The bag" I mumbled

He grabbed my bag and even though he wasn't sure of what he was looking for he soon figured out that it was the medicine and hurried to give me my pills. He handed my bottle of water. I hurriedly drank and swallowed the pills, taking deep breaths as my hand was feeling my heart beat. After a few minutes I finally felt myself calming down a bit. I looked up at Changmin who was waiting for me to get a bit better

"How are you? You're okay?" He asked

I nodded

"Thanks.."

"What happened?" He sat down right next to me on the ground

"I.. wasn't feeling good" I mumbled

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make invade your privacy" He apologized

"No no.. it's okay. I just.. I don't know. I have a heart disease"

He helped me up as he looked at me worriedly

"Heart disease?" He asked

"Yes.. or heart failure.. or whatever it is. I really don't know.. I grew up.. like this. Everyday worrying if the heart will beat normally. Sometimes.. it beats faster for no reason. I have medication for it and the doctors are still trying to figure it out. But my heart.. I've done so many different examinations and tests and yet.. there is nothing there" I mumbled

"I see.. I'm sorry to hear that"

"No.. it's okay. I've adapted myself. So my medication follows me everywhere" I mumbled

He nodded and brushed off the dirt off his jacket and also mine

"But.. hey.. why are you here?" I asked

"Oh.. I went to get my schedule" He smiled

"What? You're a transfer?" I asked. He nodded happily

"Yep.. so here I am" He said

"Uhm Welcome!!" I smiled

"Thanks, thank you for being my first friend here" He said and grabbed a hold of his bag as we started to walk

"Well I hope you will like it here" I said

"Yes I probably will. it seems like a good school. Hey , which reminds me of.. I actually went to the café to ask for a part time job and the Auntie said she was excited for me to start there since that means she would be able to spend less time there at the café"

"WOW! Classmate and now co-workers" I said

"I SWEAR!! I'm not a stalker" Changmin laughed embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head

My smile instantly faded and I stared at him. He noticed my different change of attitude and I coughed as I looked away

"I really need to go. I need to hurry home before going to the café. I'll see you later"

"Okay, Yumi.. if I.. offended you.. I'm..."

I couldn't hear the rest of his apology before I had started walking away from the parking lot and him. I wasn't sure why I reacted like that but it just felt weird as he joked about that. I still felt unsure and very scared about what had happened last night. He didn't even know of the incident and here I was reacting like this

"I'm being ridiculous about this" I rolled my eyes

I hurried my way home to change my clothes and drop off my schoolbag and then grabbed my other bag, the medicine and hurried my way to the café
