Chapter 14
A New StartHa Neul's POV
It's the 5th day Onew has been living here. I've recovered too. Somehow, I managed to stop thinking about Jonghyun. Thanks to Onew who always cares for me when I was sick.
"I should call Onew now. It's almost time for dinner. Dinner is ready also." I said to myself in the kitchen.
I went up to Onew's room. When I was about to knock, I heard Onew talking to someone.
"Ah.. He borrowed my phone just now. I'll call him for dinner later." I whispered to myself.
While I was about to leave, I overheard Onew's conversation.
"I don't like Ha Neul! She's just a friend to me! My ideal type and Ha Neul is totally different!" said Onew.
I slowly walked down.
"I don't like Ha Neul! She's just a friend to me! My ideal type and Ha Neul is totally different!"
These words kept on repeating in my head. I ran out and went to a park which I usually go.
"Onew doesn't like me. Who would like me when I have such outer character.." I said while I wiped my tears.
"Aish.. This tears couldn't stop flowing."
I sat on a bench and put up my knees. I hugged my own knees tightly.
"I've never known it would be so pain being rejected.. It's just like my feelings got returned although Onew didn't tell me that.."
As I was busy wiping my tears, I saw someone coming towards me. I couldn't see properly who was that as my tears blurred my vision.
"Ha Neul?"
I recognised that voice.
"What are you doing here? It's so late already."
"Same goes to you. Kim Jonghyun." I said while turning away.
"You're crying?" asked Jonghyun.
"Ani. Something went in my eyes." I said while wiping my tears.
"What happened?" asked Jonghyun while turning me to face him.
"Nothing. I told you someth-"
Jonghyun almost fainted on me while I was talking.
"Jonghyun?"
He sat back up.
"Mian. I didn't eat for a few days. I don't have much energy." said Jonghyun.
"How long have you not eaten?" I asked.
"Ever since I left you."
"Why didn't you eat?"
"For someone like me who doesn't have a house. What can I do?"
"Why did you leave if you didn't have a place to stay?!"
"You wanted me to leave as soon as possible." said Jonghyun.
It was me.. It was all my fault..
"Mianhae.." I said.
I stood up and held him.
"Let's go to my house." I said.
As we were walking slowly, 3 drunk men appeared.
"Ohh~ What do we have here~ A pretty lady and a useless guy~" said one of them.
"Ha Neul. Stay behind .. Stay behind me." said Jonghyun while going in front of me.
"Pabo! You don't have any energy!" I replied.
"Aigoo~ Look at that poor boyfriend trying to protect his girlfriend~" said the drunk men.
One of the drunk men punched Jonghyun in his face.
"Jonghyun!"
I ran towards him. He was lying on the floor, injured.
"Stay behind me." I said to Jonghyun.
"Ha-Ha Neul.."
"Pabo. If I can't fight, how would my parents allow me to live by myself." I said.
"But Ha Neul! There's 3 men!" said Jonghyun trying to stand.
"3 of you. I'll use 20 seconds only for you. More than enough." I said while clenching up my fist.
"20 seconds? HAH. You sound confident, lady." said one of the drunk men.

Ha Neul's POV
"Hmph. I only took 15 seconds. The only reason that you lose is that I'm your opponent." I said to those drunk men lying on the floor, injured.
"Ha Neul? I didn't know you can fight that well." said Jonghyun while I helped him to stand up.
"What's the point of showing off. There's no advantage." I said.
We slowly walked back to my house. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Onew in front of me.
"Ha Neul! You're back! Where you went?! I was worried! You left without telling me! It's so late already!" said Onew.
"Mian. I went for a walk. And met him." I said while looking at Jonghyun.
"Jonghyun sshi? Are you okay?" asked Onew.
I walked in together with Jonghyun without answering to Onew. Tears were about to fall again.
