Seul Hyo’s POV 

After the  “kiss thingy” that happened in the library a while ago, both Yoseob and I started walking from the school to my house. While we were on our way to my home, it was quite awkward, both of us weren’t talking to each other. That kiss thingy probably the reason, I guess? 

“Yoseob.” The distance between my house and school was quite long, so I managed to start off the conversation. I couldn’t take this awkward moment anymore.

Since Yoseob was just 2 or 3 inches taller than me, he just looked down at me with a questioning face. “Uh- Nothing.” I stooped my head down as I pouted and shook my head, train of thoughts had been screwing up my mind.

“Are you tired? I can see it through your face.” Yoseob then gently patted my hair while grinning at me. That smile.. I hate seeing that in his face, it makes me fall in love with him MORE. 

From what I know, this is only just an infatuation, I have no idea if I am ing in love with him or what. 

“A bit.” Slowly nodding my head, I simply answered him while releasing a deep sigh. We stopped walking for a while, then I saw him making his way in front of me. A couple of seconds later, I saw him kneel on the ground and his back facing me. 

“You’re tired, right? Here, my back is ready.” My face was like turning red upon seeing his sudden action. Seriously, who would think that this stunning guy in front of me is a gentleman? 

“I’m heavy.” I said as he stood up as I finished riding on his back. This thing is called piggy-back ride, right? I wrapped my arms around his neck as I rested my chin on his right shoulder. 

“I know.” 

“Ya! Yang Yoseob! I’m not that heavy!” 

“But you told me that you’re heavy, right baby?” He shot me a glare innocently before showing me an evil smirk. The time he looked at me was the I was staring at him too.

SO IT MEANS, OUR LIPS ALMOST CRASHED AGAINST EACH OTHER.. AGAIN. 

“Fine, you win.” I frowned and pouted, ugh, he always won against me. But every time we fight as if we’re cats and dogs, I couldn’t help but to blush a little. 

“Kwahaha, my baby is so cranky today. Oh, PMS-ing much?” Yoseob, why are you like this to me? Even the word PMS is in your vocabulary? This guy, who was trying to stop his laugh, had been driving me crazy.

“GAY.” I just mumbled underneath my breathe but yet, he still heard me. This guy is so different. I thought he would howl at me, or just release of his hold onto me so I could fell off, but he didn’t. 

I thought I pissed him off by telling him the word GAY, know what he did? He just shot me a glare and winked at me, which caused us to laugh at the same time. 

* * * * * 

I couldn’t believe that I reached home at 7:00 PM, I don’t usually go home late, just now. Well, I still had fun with Yoseob even though he kept saying that I’m PMS-ing, its not even true, OK. 

“Why did you go home late you stupid lady!” I almost jumped in surprise as I heard my stepfather blurt out that sentence. I looked at him with fierce eyes, he was drinking wines again while my mother was serving him foods.

“I was in big trouble. Mom, stop serving him.” After looking at my stepfather, my eyes immediately looked onto my mother. She then quickly put down all the foods to the table and walked away. 

“What the are you doing Seul Hyo! You don’t have the rights to stop your mother from serving me!” My stepfather, whose blood was boiling again, stood up from his chair and then kicked all the wines to get those out of his way. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. 

“My mother isn’t your servitor, so shut up.” I simply answered as I slammed my bag to my right side. I was kinda tired so I had no enough time to fool with his hostile words.

“Watch your mouth stupid! You don’t know the person in front of you!” I was about to leave him but he pushed me against the wall. My mom, who was preparing dinner for me, suddenly released of the plate she was holding.

“S-stop.. I--I can’t..” He was gradually making his grip into my neck tighter, I couldn’t breathe. My mother wanted to help me out but I just motioned her to go away. 

“You can’t breathe? I could do worse things than this.” He tightened his grip onto my neck, causing me to have a hard time to catch my breathe. I didn’t want to give up, I still have dreams for my mother. 

“You stupid girl, I’m still not over with you! I can kill you anytime.” Finally, he let go of his grip onto my neck, and I ended up coughing and crying because of the huge trepidation in me.

I remember the thing he did to me a while ago. When he pushed me against the wall, the impact of being pushed made a loud  “bang!” noise - IT HURT MY BACK.

Author’s POV 

Seul Hyo cried the whole night, penting up herself alone in her room. She couldn’t get over with the undesirable circumstance that happened lately, it had become one of her phobias. 

The next day, in their campus, Seul Hyo went to school with her swollen eyes, the reason why students had ganged up on her again. Still, she just stooped her head down, trying not to see the deadly glares and laughs of the students at her. 

“Handkerchief?” Seul Hyo jumped in surprise as Yoseob appeared from somewhere, making him look like a creeper to Seul Hyo.

“No thanks.” The younger girl refused while shaking her head vigorously, signaling the guy that she was about to leave. 

“You need to stop crying, come here.” Yoseob then chased her and then pulled her into him as he held Seul Hyo’s chin up. His left hand with a handkerchief made its way to Seul Hyo’s face to wipe off the tears. 

“You have got something to see, baby.”

“Huh?”

 Seul Hyo had got no idea or clue about what Yoseob was saying, she didn’t know that her problem hadn’t stopped. Seul Hyo and Yoseob walked together until they reached the certain place Yoseob was talking about. 

Seul Hyo’s eyes widened as she saw the message written in the bulletin board:

“Kim Seul Hyo, you are suspended for a week due to violating the rules last night. The thing you did last night was recorded by the CCTV Camera, you wil be back after a week. - Principal Lim.”

Seul Hyo couldn’t help but to burst in tears, plus, the students were all laughing and snickering at her face. Yoseob was about to enter the principal’s office but Seul Hyo stopped him. 

Making their way out of the crowded area, Yoseob gave the snickering students with a shut-up-or-else-you-all-are-dead face. “Meet me at the Lotte World later, 6:00 PM.” Yoseob uttered as he motioned Seul Hyo to get inside his car.

“Why?”

“Because I wanna be with you longer! 1 week is too long for me.” Yoseob, who was pouting in frustration, started the engine of his car and drove. An evil smirked formed at the edge of Seul Hyo’s lips as she heard Yoseob’s answer.

“You’ll miss me?” Seul Hyo mocked Yoseob while fairly blowing Yoseob’s arm with her clenched fist. “1 week is just short. But you won’t see me.” Seul Hyo let out a deep sigh while wiping off the tears in her cheeks. 

“YOU GOT IT!” Yoseob just gave her a thumbs up for guessing it correctly. 

* * * * * 

Seul Hyo arrived at the Lotte World at exact 6:00 PM, but unfortunately, she didn’t see Yoseob’s appearance in the certain place. Realizing that she was pretty early to come, she just decided to stroll around the place.

She saw lots of kids playing around with their parents. It made her miss her father. She glanced at her watch: 6:45 PM. She sighed in vexation, but still, she didn’t let it win against her.

She just kept on gazing at her watch. 

7:15 PM:

Still no Yoseob’s appearance.

8:00 PM:

Still no Yoseob’s appearance.

8:30 PM:

Still no Yoseob’s appearance. 

Hours had passed by, Yoseob hadn’t arrived, Seul Hyo frowned in frustration, knowing that Yoseob wouldn’t come anymore, and he had forgotten about her. Seul Hyo’s eyes get widened as she saw Lee KiSeop going towards her. 

“Hi, Ms. Kim. I’m sorry.” Lee KiSeop suddenly kneeled down in front of Seul Hyo as he showed her a bunch a flower with a sorry written on it, showing a candid apology from him.

“For what?” Seul Hyo asked with a questioning look, she then accepted the flower that KiSeop offered. “For the undesirable thing I did a few days ago.” There was an empty seat next to Seul Hyo’s chair, so KiSeop grabbed the opportunity to sit next to her.

“Oh? That? Thats nothing, I didn’t get mad at you.” Seul Hyo mumbled as she looked at KiSeop with a meek face. She then looked around, trying to find a Yoseob’s wisp of appearance. 

“Why? Are you looking for someone, Seul Hyo?”

“Actually, yes but I think that person will not come anymore.” Seul Hyo, who was playing with the petals of the flowers, released a deep sigh as she remembered Yoseob again. 

“So it means you’ve been waiting here for hours? Aish, what the hell.” KiSeop blurted out as his eyes widened in surprise, knowing that Seul Hyo had waited in that place for 3 or more hours. 

“Lets just ignore that, come, lets stroll around.” Seul Hyo stood up and invited KiSeop come with her, she smiled sweetly at him, causing KiSeop to giggle because of it. Before strolling, a thought popped in in Seul Hyo’s mind. 

“Yoseob didn’t come.. Is he just playing with me?” Seul Hyo thought.

KiSeop and Seul Hyo walked around Lotte World, laughing and enjoying every moment. Somehow, KiSeop did loosen the depression of Seul Hyo, he made her happy the whole night.

But they didn’t know, Yoseob was watching them stealthily.
