3.00 p.m. The mini park of Running High School.

(Jihyo POV)

Here I am. At this mini park. As the time I'm trying to avoid that Kang Gary, I also tried to avoid this mini park. But, what can I do? I'm not that ruthless to let my friend facing her troubles alone. So, I'm standing here, at the park's entrance, waiting for Byul to come. About 15 minutes of waiting, she's here. Aishh this stubborn girl, chincha! I nearly walked off from this place imagining that she wouldn't dare to come alone. As she's nearing, I can see her shocking face. 

"Why are you here? Didn't you said it is dangerous?"

"Yah!! You think I would let you get inside here alone? What kind of friend you think I am?" I raised my voice, a little bit disappoints in her tone. She grinned.

"A very good one!!! Hehe gumawo Jihyo ya!!" she hugged me suddenly. 

"Aakk! Keurae2, arasso.. I can't breath, Byul ah.." she immediately let me go.

"Eo eo, mianne.. Jihyo ya, you came here to accompany me inside right?"

"If I asked you to forget this and go home, would you listen?" I replied her with an annoyance tone.

"Hehehe, gumawo... Also, forgive me on what I did to you earlier. I was being too harsh isn't it?"

"Aniya, kwenchana.. Nado.. Let the bygone be bygone okay? Ahh, what are we doing here for too long? Let's get in!"

I'm stepping here again after a week of absent. I tried to be strong in front this one friend of mine. As we reached the big tree I used to hang with that young heir, Byul utters,

"Where is this person? He won't be leaving after tired of waiting for us right? Let me take a look there"

"Byul ah... Wait..." by time I called her, she had gone from my view. And I'm standing here alone don't know what to do. For some reason, I felt eery all of sudden. 

When I wanted to take a step where Byul had went before, I felt a strong grip on my waist. I want to scream, but it looks like my voice box seem not give a coorperation with me.. Wait, this scent. It is.. It is.. After letting the silence crept between us, the person spoke.

"Sorry for scaring you.. Jihyo ya..."

It's him. Only god know how I miss that voice. The voice that always greeted me with cheerful tone but now all I can hear is his hoarse voice saying my name. I came back to reality and loosen his grip on my waist and turn around to face him.

"What on earth you think you're doing, Kang Gary?"

"Seeking forgiveness" his answers startled me. I hurriedly turned my head away not wanting to face him. Seeing his eyes can really weaken me.

"Please, I can't stand being like this. I know I did wrong by not telling you the real thing but at least could you hear my explaination? Not perennially avoiding me like this"

"Fine, speak!" I admitted I was being harsh towards him.

And thus, he told me everything, about his relationship with Jessica, that he already considered her as a dongsaeng and that girl being like that because she was just overprotective and all. I felt my legs weak as he finished his words. It just that?

I let my brain to process the information I received earlier. Then, what should I do now? At last, I came with a solid answer.
