Part III - Dongwoon

Part III: Dongwoon

Day after day , Dongwoon and me always met each other in the abandoned music room during lunch breaks , with me preparing lunchboxes while he taught me how to play the piano plus some more difficult tunes . We gradually grew closer and became good friends . Since the number of friends I had on campus could be counted with just one hand , I was very appreciative that I had got such a sincere and real friend in school . At first , I just couldn't trust him . I couldn't trust that a random guy who I haven't known for long would eventually become a close friend of mine , with his charming looks , kind heart and considerate nature , it just felt too good to be true . But little by little , the locks guarding my protected heart began unlocking themselves one by one , with just Dongwoon's smile .

We would always make it a point to meet each other during our lunches , sometimes after school and we would text each other . We were just friends , nothing more . Though of course I hoped that we could be something more , I had never had the actual courage to speak up and confess , afraid of showing my true heart to him , terrified that he would trample on my feelings and leave me with a wounded heart all over again .

Though I was really glad and happy to have Dongwoon as a close friend , the girls in the school wasn't . My ex was a really popular guy in the school , the captain of the water polo team , and when we started going out , many girls were not pleased . They thought that I was really not suitable for him . I wasn't exceptionally beautiful , smart or popular , thus of course people would think that we were a mismatched pair . When we broke up , I finally received less attention from these jealous and popular girls who were so excited to see their beloved "Oppa" back on the market .

Who knew that all these jealous business would happen again with Dongwoon as a friend ......

- 18 july , monday -

As usual , I was on my way to the music room where I met Dongwoon sshi . Walking along the corridors next to the canteen , I couldn't help but smile . A few months ago , I was just a lonely girl , with nowhere to go , no friend to talk to , not a smile on my face , not a single bit of warmness in my heart , but now , I had everything I didn't have , and they were all given to me by dongwoon . I unknowingly smiled to myself , the beautiful autumn scenery making me feel even better . Just then , I felt someone push me hard as I lost my balance and fell onto the ground . I looked up to see Hyuna and her clique of popular girls smirking at me . I gave them a glare and tried standing up , however I was kicked to the ground again by Tiffany and her modified school sneakers ( make that wedges) , as she laughed and stood behind Hyuna . I angrily stared at the clique surrounding me as she spat .

"Oh well , what do we have here ? A who's always stealing all the good guys in school ! But oh , she isn't even pretty ! " Her clique along with her laughed while I looked at them boredly , waiting for them to finish laughing , even though it wasn't funny ...

"Whatever losers , please get lost , I don't have time to play with you guys . " I stood up , swept the imaginary dust off my hands and skirt , and was about to walk off when I felt someone pulling on my hair hard , yanking it so hard I winced in pain .

"Where the hell do you think you're going ?! You think I'm playing with you ? Get this clear , you ugly , dirty . Better not get too close to Dongwoon oppa , if not you'll regret it ! " Hyuna hissed as she let go of the handful of hair she grabbed . I rubbed my sore scalp and shrugged .

"Too bad , he's my friend and do you think I'm ...... Scared of you plastic bimbos ? Oh please , you guys think too highly of yourselves . Don't make a scene here , it's really embarrassing . " Indeed , a crowd was gathering around us . I mean , who wouldn't want to catch a free show ?

Hyuna smirked . " Oh so you know how embarrassing you are-----"

I rolled my eyes :" Um , sorry but I meant how embarrassing YOU are ~ Please don't let people get the impression that I would actually be bothered with you ~ "

She was fuming , I could see it in her eyes . The old me would just keep my big mouth shut and let her threaten me while nodding in fear , but the new me wouldn't do so . I was sick of being just a shadow . I had my own ideas and I wasn't going to let people intimidate and bully me , thinking that I wouldn't make a single sound .

Instead , I glared back at her , making sure my eyes showed how unfearful I was .

She opened and closed , trying to think of something to retort back , but found herself speechless . However , the evil sparkle in her eyes made my intially undaunted self a little afraid , as she took a few steps and whispered in my ear .

"Oh darling , you have no idea who are you dealing with , do you ? It's okay , you'll see how I can make you regret today , really really soon ~ Oh and by the way , do you miss your ex ? He tells me to say hi ~ "

With a last smirk , she walked away , with her bobblehead clique following her , as I ran to the music room as fast as possible . I did not want to stay outside , where I would be vulnerable and with no one to help me . I wanted to see Dongwoon , let his smile make me feel better , let his voice comfort me .

I finally reached the music room and rushed into the room , sitting down onto the sofa while dongwoon played a soothing tune . The tune stopped abruptly as he spotted me .

"Finally you're here ! Why are you so late today ? And are you okay , you're breathing so hard and you look so pale !" A concerned Dongwoon left the piano , knelt infront of me and placed the back of his hand on my cheek . I instantly relaxed with his gentle touch . My mind debated whether I should tell him about what had happened with Hyuna , my mind screamed at me to tell him and ask him to protect me , but my heart just couldn't bear to let him know about how scared I had been , and how worried he would be after hearing the news , thus I kept my mouth shut and just shook my head .

After spending the rest of lunch with dongwoon , I felt myself much calmer . I could even smile at his jokes and his adorable face~

" Let's meet up after school , shall we ? I know of a bakery which sells really good chocolate mousse cake , we can eat together ! Okay ? " Dongwoon whined while pulling an adorable face , blinking his eyes and pouting cutely . God , what is this guy doing to me ? I could feel my smile blooming on my face as I nodded .

"Promise me ! Hurry ! " He stuck out his pinky while I laughed and hooked my pinky with his . God , if people didn't know our ages , they would thought I was his noona ! His beaming face was a sight I would never forget ~

We agreed to meet at the school gate , since he had his motorcycle , and we could ride together . With that , we left the music room . He turned back to wave at me , and hurriedly ran away , since he was going to be late for his class which started earlier .

Watching him leave made me sigh deeply . I wonder how would my life be without Dongwoon ? I sighed again and started walking back to my classroom . The thoughts of Hyuna and her threats not leaving my mind for even a second , haunting my mind for the whole day . Oh please , let it just be a scare , nothing more .

Who knew that I wouldn't be keeping the promise I had made with Dongwoon ......
