Dara's POV

I am walking now going to our classroom and still thinking what happened last Saturday night. That night, Jiyong made me feel that like I was reborn. Feel new things. I don't know why Jiyong is talking to me as if we were friends before but I am thankful, really thankful that I was able to feel these new things before I finish my highschool and before we migrate to Australia. Yes. My family is scheduled to leave Korea once I finished my highschool. So, I will do my very best to be friends with everyone before that time comes.

I am now at our classroom's door. Almost everyone is there, chatting to each other. I exhaled deeply and plan to say good morning to them but suddenly a voice from my back says "Good Morning Dara!" and I saw Jiyong smiling. I was unable to greet him back I was embarrased because everyone is already staring at us. I just bow my head then immediately go to my desk.

Then Mr Kim entered, the class starts and honestly, I don't understand anything. I am still affected by Jiyong's smile. It's really beautiful. When the class ended, I was about to leave my desk when I heard someone from my classmate says to Jiyong "Hey Jiyong! Is it true? That you were with Sadako last Saturday night?"

I look at Jiyong and saw him smile "Yes. Why? Is there anything wrong with that?" 

"Nothing. But are you guys dating?" someone said. I was shocked. Why they saying things like that? It might ruin's Jiyong reputation. He will never date someone like me.

"No. We were just together. And if we were really dating, is that a bad thing?" he asked them. He is not smiling this time. Too serious. 

Silence filled our classroom. Then a decision came to my mind, I will protect Jiyong!

"It's a misunderstanding" I said. Now everyone turned to me. They are still silent. "It's true that he was with me that night. Honestly, I am captivated by Jiyong's kindness. And you know that Jiyong treats everyone fairly. But that wasn't anything special. So please don't misunderstand what happened that night. He is just being kind." I know that anytime, tears will come down so I run out from our classroom. 

I found myself at the garden, then I cried really hard. Now, I am afraid that Jiyong will never talk to me again. Smile at me again. Say good morning again. Although I explain it to everyone. I still ruined his reputation. Then, loneliness covered my whole being. 

"Dara" I heard someone called my name. When I turn around, it's Jiyong.

"Jiyong, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry. Because of me, everyone misunderstood you. So I hope that my explanation earlier cleared up the situation." I am somehow now calm, is it because he is here with me? "Thank you because you're are here. Listening to me."

"I think it's you who misunderstood me." he said.

What?! Why?! "It's alright. Don't worry about me. I really understand your feelings. That you might not talk to me after this----" I did not finish my sentence because I saw him smile. But unlike before, It's a sad smile.

"You really don't understand me at all Dara." he said. "So for now, I'll just wait until you finally understand why I am acting that way at our classroom."
