CHAPTER 17

                 I felt weak.

Felt like collapsing.

DooJoon stopped walking and turned to me.

" Are you alright?" he asked as he put his hand on my shoulder.

I shoved his hand.

" Don't touch me." I warned him.

He scoffed. " What? Yaa. What did I do that made you so pissed with me?"

" I hope this will be the last time I will be meeting you."

He laughed. " The world is small, don't you think? I'll bump onto you anyway."

That was right. The world was small. I would bump onto him. But no. I would try my best to neglect him after this.

" So, where do you live?" he looked at the street.

" You can just send me off at the bus stop. Thank you."

He smiled.

What kind of smile was that? There must be something behind it!

We continued walking, however, I was getting really cold and I felt more weak, and my head was like spinning around.

I think I was getting sick.. This was bad news.

As we were walking to the bus stop, we didn't talk to one another.

But, DooJoon broke the silence.

" I guess today wasn't my day.."

I pretended that I didn't hear that.

He laughed to himself. " It just gets worst everyday. My bestfriend, who I treat like a brother, betrayed me and I do thing before even thinking about it." I slowly looked up to him.

He continued, " Do you know how it feels to be me?"

That question of his got me thinking.

He sighed. " We're here."

We reached the bus stop.

I bowed and walked to the long seat, but I almost fell.

My head was getting heavier. On the way getting sick was the worst!

DooJoon approached me quickly. " Yaa. Are you sure you're going to be alright by yourself?"

I sat down and waved my hand. "Just go. I'm gonna be okay~ baby without you~" as I sang 2pm's without you.

Ouch. My head hurt~! Shouldn't have sing..

" Stop joking around when you're in a situation like this!" DooJoon shouted, which startled me.

I tilted my head to him.  His face looked so worried.

" I'm sorry." I apologized.

Then, a bus came.

" Here's my bus. Well, it was nice seeing you. See ya~" I stood up and walked weakily into the bus as the door opened.

DooJoon watched me as I got in.

He threw his umbrella away ( a stolen umbrealla) and walked into the bus too.

I turned around. " YAA! What are you doing!?"

" I don't want you to faint infront of everyone. And by that I mean, strangers." he said.

The bus driver then closed the door and drove away from the bus stop.

I glared at DooJoon and tried looking for a seat.

" Ah. Eliseu!" someone called me.

I turned to where it was coming from.

That guy smiled.

" Gi-Kwang shii." I said, surprised to see him.

DooJoon was surprised too.

" Sit here!" Gi-Kwang suggested.

I smiled and walked to him.

DooJoon grabbed my hand.

" You're sitting next to him?"

I let his hand go. " Yeah."

I then sat next to Gi-Kwang.

The people in the bus was staring at him.

To save himself from embarrassment, he quickly sat down on an empty seat next to an old-lady.

DooJoon turned to the old-lady and bowed his head.

The old-lady smiled and said, " You seem like a good man."

He was puzzled to hear that. " Hmm?"

" Why aren't you sitting with the girl you came in with?" she asked.

DooJoon shook his head. "  She's sitting with someone." as he forced a smile.

The old-lady nodded and turned to the window.

DooJoon moved his view to Gi-Kwang and Eliseu who were two seat infront of him.

  I looked  at Gi-Kwang and smiled.

He gave me a smile back. " It's been a while since I've seen you."

I didn't know why I was speechless at a time like that.

" It's a coincidence that we're in the same bus." he said.

What to say? What to say?

" Cats hate the rain." I said.

WHAT? CATS?

Gi-Kwang laughed. " I know right!"

Somehow, he just go with the flow.

Then, he noticed something. " Your clothes, your hair. It's wet."

I touched my hair, and my head felt much heavier.

" Are you alright?" he asked, feeling concerned.

I only nodded.

The bus was in a  traffic jam that it had to stop.

DooJoon took the opportunity and walked to Gi-Kwang and Eliseu.

He didn't like what he saw.

Eliseu fell asleep on Gi-Kwang's shoulder with his jacket on her.

Gi-Kwang noticed DooJoon.

DooJoon gave Gi-Kwang a death glare.

" W-What are you doing?" DooJoon stammered impatiently.

Gi-Kwang looked at Eliseu then him, " She's getting sick. What do you think I should do?"

" I'm warning you."

Gi-Kwang looked at him, confused. " Warning me? I didn't even do anything." as he continued, "Besides, I couldn't confess to her. She's yours, remember?" he then smiled at DooJoon.

DooJoon crossed his arms, " T-That's right. She's mine. well, unofficially."

Gi-Kwang only laughed and turned his face to the window slowly, and whispered to himself. "  If only I could.."

DooJoon walked back to his seat, arrogantly.

               Key was in his room.

Sitting on his bed.

Thinking what he had done to Eliseu.

He flashbacked to that moment.

The moment where his lips got into contact with her lips.

" Aish. Why did I do that?" as he brushed his hair with his hand roughly.

Suddenly, his heart beat faster. " What's happening? .. Omma (mother) , I think I found the answer.. What do I do now?"

" Win her." a sudden voice came from the door.

Key was so startled.

His mother came in laughing.

" You found the answer, honey?"

Key quickly hid his face under his blanket. " Mother, get out."

" Omona. " his mother said, surprised. " I never see you acting like this."

" Get out!" Key shouted.

His mother smiled. " Okay.." then she left.

Key peeked and put his blanket aside. " Kibum!" he said to himself. " Get yourself back together! Don't act like a highschool-girl! You are the cold-hearted school president. You are cool, and  .. inlove? .."

He sighed. " I am?" he said to himself,  " With a girl like that?"

He gulped. " I must be going insane.."
