His Name

"Hello, my name is Hyun Il" he smiled. You swallowed and bowed again "T-Thank You, Hyun Il-ssi" you whispered, scared that your hoarse voice might embarass you

infront of the handsome male infront of you.

"For what? Liking you?" he forced a joked, you blushed and bit your lower lip. He nodded and chuckled "It's the least I could do for you...when L isn't around"

he whispered the last part and fortunately, you didn't hear it. There was an awkward silence. Usually, you preferred silence, but this was killing you.

*Say something, say something!* you closed your eyes shut and prayed. He cleared his throat and you look at him immediately, eager to hear him say something.

He turned red, smiling cutely.

"D-Did you come to school alone?" he asked.

"Yes I did" you nodded

"Ahh..i-is that so?" he kept stuttering, his face getting redder and redder by the second

"Umm..where is your boyfriend?" *Boyfriend?* you look at him in confusion

"Boyfriend? I-I don't have a boyfriend" you mumbled. He turned his head to you in surprise

"But i thought L sunbaenim...is your boyfriend" he said. Your eyes rounded and you shook your head furiously

"M-Myung Soo? N-No..he's a friend, a good friend"

"H-He's not your boyfriend?" he asked. You forced an awkward smile and shook your head. His face lit up in exitement

*I still have a chance!* he smiled happily, not knowing your discomfort. You could notice the sparkle of hope in his eyes when you said no.

Sure he was cute and all, but you didn't even know if you'll be able to return the feeling.

Suddenly, "Hyun Su-ya!" a voice called. Both of you turned your head and saw L running towards you

"Gwenchana?" he asked in concern, his eyes turning to Hyun Il. He raised an eyebrow and examined him, wondering who he was.

Hyun Il just stared back, unfazed. "Hyun Su-ya" he called again, not moving his eyes away from Hyun Il.

You knew he wasn't your bodyguard who could pop out whenever there was trouble, but he always seemed to appear whenever you needed him..well, except today.

So for some reason that you can't even figure out, you were kinda disappointed he wasn't there for you even though Hyun Il was there.

You didn't answer again, keeping your head down and letting them have their staring competition.

"Hey, I'm talking to you" he said in irritation, finally tearing his eyes from Hyun Il to you.

"Are you mad?" No answer

"Why are you mad?" Ignored

"Are you really not going to answer me?" Silence

"Ya.." Still no answer

"Hmph! Fine" he made a face and took out his handkerchief. He sat down next to you and took off your glasses

"Even if you're gonna give me the silent treatment, I'm still not gonna let you get sick" he mumbled and gave you the handkerchief.

You kept you head low and wiped your wet face

You tried your best not to smile and mentally patted yourself for succeeding.

Hyun Il stared at both for you, jealousy building up inside him. L stood up and gave Hyun Il your glasses

"Hold this for a sec and stay with her...whoever you are" he muttered. Hyun Il smiled and nodded "Okay, sunbae"

L gave him a wierd look before running to the school building

"I thought you guys weren't dating" Hyun Il mumbled

"We aren't!" you defended and look up to see him staring at you with a familiar look in his eyes.

You you lips nervously and look down. After a minute, L came running back with a towel in his hand.

"Here" he said, giving you the towel. He took the glasses from Hyun Il's hands and sat next to you.

You took the glasses and put it on quietly

"I came a little late didn't I?" he said apologetically.

"I know, well...it's your fault too! You were the one who decided to go alone-" he stopped when you gave him a look. *Oh great, now she looks mad*

"It's okay" you gave him a tight smile.

"Hyun Il-ssi was here, so it's all fine" you said carelessly, giving him a shrug. L look at Hyun Il who was smiling at you

"Erm..thanks" *For taking my spot today. Yeah, thanks a lot*

Hyun Il Turned his head to L and smiled

"That's fine. I didn't do much, really" he said modestly.

"I should go, goodbye" he gave a little bow and jogged to the building.

As soon as he was out of sight, L look back at you

"Are you really mad? I'm Sorry, okay?"

"I'm not mad at you, Myung Soo" you whispered.

"You're not?" he brightened. You shook your head

"No, I'm not" you sniffled and and smiled. L stared at you in confusion, finally noticing your red eyes

"Bwoya? You cried?!" he asked with wide eyes *Those bithes*

"A-Ani! I didn't" you lied. His shoulder deflated, and he frowned

"I thought you weren't mad at me" he muttered

"I'm not" you said

"Then why aren't you telling me the truth? You think I don't know when you lie to me?" he raised his voice a bit.

You bit you lip, a little scared at him.

"I-I'm really okay!" you assured. He sighed and took the towel from your hand and took off your hair lacky, letting your hair fall down on your shoulder.

"What are you doing?" you asked. "Drying your hair, what else?" he shrugged innocently. Carefully drying your hair as he said, you felt your face getting hotter by the second.

"I-I can do it myself" you stammered, reaching for the towel, but he held it from your reach. His anger disappearing when he saw your red face *That's cute*

"I wanna do it. Hey, this is fun" he chuckled. You pouted and let your hands drop

"Eh-heih! What did I say about pouting?" he reminded.

"Sorry!" you yelped and covered your mouth. He chuckled at your cute behaviour.

"I'll let it go this time if you don't cry without my notice again" he grinned. You look at him in confusion

"What do you mean by that?" you asked. "I mean..." he started but stopped *Oh , i have no excuse*

"You mean, what?" you tilted your head, waiting patiently for his answer.

"Wa...you have a nice hair..!" he pretended to gawk at your hair. You raised an eyebrow at his weird excuse

"Are you gay?" you suddenly asked. The look on his face when you asked that was priceless, you had to keep yourself from laughing right at his face.

"Why would you ask that?!" he asked, feeling a bit offended. You shrugged

"You sounded like one, and I haven't seen a guy's eyes that wide while complimenting girl's hair" you said. He scoffed and gave the towel to you

"So much for being nice. I'm not doing it anymore!" he gave you a playful glare, you snickered and started to dry your hair by yourself

L stared at you as you naturally rubbed the towel against your hair with a small smile planting on your lips, he never knew a girl could look this attractive just

by drying hair like that. It made his heart skip a beat. You caught him staring at you, you look back, but he didn't look away and continued staring.

A small blush appeared on your cheeks, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"W-What, Is there something on my face?" you asked. He nodded and reached for your glasses and took it off

"There! I got it" he smiled and tried it on himself. He shook his head and gawked at you

"How can you wear a thing like that?! Aren't you dizzy? You should see an eye doctor!" he exclaimed. You smiled and shook your head at his silliness

"That's how I get those glasses, babo " you laughed, your eyes almost disappearing.

He made a face but smiled afterwards *She's pretty when she laughs*

You caught him staring again.

"What?!" you asked, your laugh dying down

"You know, you should laugh more often. And don't cry without me again" he said, almost in an ordering way. You gave him a confused look, not knowing why he said that

"Why do you keep saying that, Myung Soo? About me crying and all.." you asked. He bit his lower lip and shrugged, trying to make it look like its not such a big deal

"Just because..." he mumbled. You scooted closer to him and nudged his shoulder lightly

"Because what? Come on..tell me" you urged. He nudged back and look away

"Don't want" he refuses, getting shy all of a sudden. Well that's a surprise!

"Please???? I promise I won't cry without you again if you tell me" you tilted your head to meet his eyes and blinked

"Hmm??"

He sighed and his shoulders slumped in defeat

"Alright! I'll tell you" he announced.

"You will?!" you pretended to be really interested, not that you're not as curious as you look like anyway

"It's just that...." he started mumbling incoherent words that you couldn't make up.

"Sorry what?" you asked, bending your head closer to his face. He took a deep breath and stared right at your eyes

"I like it when you depend on me"
