Two days later, Eunbin finally went back to school. The cut on her lip was a pink-red coloured scare and the bruising around her eye had gone. Eunbin was walking down the stairs when JongHyun, Eunbin’s dog came running down, almost knocking her over.

“Hey you okay?”

Eunbin turned around to see Zelo smiling down at her, from the top of the stairs. Placing his hands in his pockets, he walked down to the step Eunbin was one. Zelo’s eyes looked over Eunbin’s face as she stared blankly at him.

“The cuts are all gone, except one”

Zelo lightly placed his index finger on Eunbin’s scare, causing her to flinch at the sudden contact.

“Sorry did I scare you?”

“N-No oppa; I was just thinking of something and you caught me off guard. We better go or we will be late for scho-“

Eunbin was interrupted by the sound of the door bell, echoing through the mansion. One of the butlers walked out from the kitchen, and opened the door. Bowing slightly he moved away from the door.

“Is Eunbin here?”

“Yes she is just here, sir”

JR walked through the door with a smile on his face, but it soon vanished when he sore how close Zelo was to Eunbin. It’s not that he didn’t trust Zelo, but he knew how much he still loved Eunbin.

“Oppa!”

Eunbin smiled and ran down the stairs. JR’s smile returned to his face. Opening his arms wide, he waited for the impact of Eunbin’s body.

“Eunbin”

He whispered as he rested his head on hers. Pressing closer to him, Eunbin closed her eyes letting JR’s scent fill her nose. He always smelt like coconuts and honey, thanks to Eunbin’s gift to him. JR moved back slight so he could see her face.

“Your face has cleared up”

“Neh oppa, apart from the scare on my lip”

Eunbin pouted her lips, earning a kiss from JR.

“Never pout around me, you look to cute”

Laughing Eunbin playfully slapped his chest. Smiling, JR grabbed Eunbin’s hand and walked her to the door before stopping. Turning around he made eye contact with Zelo.

“Are you coming with us?”

“No. I have matters to attend to before I go to school. You go ahead”

JR nodded his head and lead Eunbin out the door. As soon as the door closed, Zelo rested his back on the railing of the staircase. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath.

*I wish I could be the one for her. Why couldn’t her heart have been for me? Am I only meant to be the best friend? The protector? Or is that taken too*

JR and Eunbin were laughing and chatting away as they walked to school. As they were walking along the foot path of the street, a speeding motor cycle sped down towards them, aiming at Eunbin. JR’s ears perked up at the sound rapidly incr
