Kris's heart almost stopped when he felt that. Dasom.. heard everything. He felt irritated that she knew eventually, that everything he had worked for was wasted. But deep down inside, he felt ...relieved. Relieved that at least... she knew.

  He stayed frozen in place, not daring to face her. Then he felt her hold tighten , and then she was up, flinging her arms around him and hugging him tight.

Kris POV

 "Yah!! Get away from me!!"I heard a girl scream. I quickly ran towards the source of the sound, only to be greeted by 5 boys bullying one poor girl. She was sprawled on the ground,  and there were bruises on her arms. Her leg was bleeding.

 Anger surged through me. How could they?!

 "Yah, hyung, where you going?"I heard my friend ask, but ignored him as i stepped forward and faced the bully."Stop that!!" I growled at them.

 One of them looked at me scornfully, and threw a punch at my face. "Arrgh!!" I howled in pain. The girl they were bullying was sobbing away in a corner.

 "Idiot!! Nobody messes with hyung!"My friend charged at him and  socked him in the gut. Two other friends helped join in the fight as well. Soon the other 4 boys turned their attention to us."Go! Run! Get help, hyung!"I called out as one kicked me in the shin.

 "Hyung! No.."

 "Just go!"I pushed him hard.

 Before the teachers arrived, the 5 boys quickly srambled off, not wanting to get into trouble.

 "Yah hyung, who's idea was it? So be glad i didn't even blame you! Anyway, we should be glad! No school~!" The four chuckled.

 Just as they left the office, the girl came out as well."Hey, it's the girl"

 "Yah, she should thank us before leaving like this! She definitely saw us"

 "Hey, you alright? What's your name?"I asked her.

 She looked down to the ground shyly."It's.. Dasom. I'm.. sorry.. and thank you." She said before hurrying away."What's with her.."I thought.

 After the incident, Dasom seemed to be EVERYWHERE. I decided to befriend her."Hey~ we're your life savers, why do you ignore us? Let's be friends?"I stuck my hand out.

 Dasom looked at me and took my hand."O-okay.."

 Soon, Dasom and  I became inseperable best friends. And, after that, nobody dared bully her again, now that she had a good 'body guard'.

 "Yah, why isn't she picking up her phone??" I tried calling for the 30th time. "Chill, dude, she's probably sick or something."

 "Yea, but even if it's just a minor flu,  she would
