Chapter 40: A New Beginning
Love Literally
Dasom sighed for the hundredth time as she took Kris's photo album, and placed it in a box already half-filled with things. "Are you sure you can do this? Let me do it" Kourin said again,but Dasom shook her head.
They were at Kris's house, helping to pack his things as Kris's father cleaned his room. "You sure-" "Yah, i'm sure!" Dasom's sudden outburst startled Kourin.
"I-i'm sorry-i didn't mean to-"
"No.. it's fine, i understand.." Kourin patted her back. Dasom sighed again as she caressed Kris's photo.

Kourin entered room 306, but there was no sign of the old lady. "Um, excuse me doctor, but where did the patient go?"
"Oh, well she was discharged about an hour ago" The nurse said.
She sighed and went to wait for her bus. Somehow.. she just felt right to talk to the woman, and she felt comfortable around her. She didn't know why, but she just liked to talk to her.
Just then, she saw an old lady walking around selling tissues."Please.. one packet for $1..."She asked a passing lady, but the lady just ignored her.
Kourin walked over to her."Um, i want 3 packets of tissue.."Kourin said, holding out a five-dollar bill. The woman looked up. "O-omo! It's you! "She cried.
Kourin smiled. It was the woman whom she was just looking for."I was just looking for you! You're still not fully recovered, you should still be in the hospital,"
The woman sighed."Do i look like i have the money..? I don't even have money to eat. I've used up all my savings for the hospital fees, you know,"
"Well..i could lend you money. You just focus on your recovery and-"
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, young lady! As much as i appreciate you helping me... i barely know you, you know? I really don't get why you're so nice to me..don't you think i'll cheat your money?? Oh my,, do innocent kind girls like you go around lending strangers money?? "
Kourin chuckled,"No, of course not! But i really do want to help you. At least.. let me buy you lunch?"
It was a week after Kris's funeral, and Dasom had gotten alot better. Trust me, she's alot better now that she only cries once a day. She had gotten her job back and had taken Kris's death quite well. However, Kris's father was unable to deal with it, and he was lucky to have Dasom's support. Now it was his turn to skip his meals, and Dasom couldn't even force him to eat.
He had thought that since Kris got his leukemia 3 years ago, he was ready for his son's fate. But no. He took it the hardest.

As for the students.. yeapp...exams were around the corner and everyone was panicking, especially Kourin, who was preoccupied with.. what was going on.
Hana had reached school ridiculously early to see Kai, but as usual he didn't pay her much attention. "Yah, why are you suddenly so friendly? I mean, it's good.., but it's just weird. It just.. doesn't fit my mood.., you know.."Kai asked.
Hana pouted."Yah, i'm just concerned! You s
