“The love birds arrived~” Jihyun teased. It’s embarrassing

“Hey, sit here. We’ll buy something” I forced her to sit in the center of the mall when Joe sat beside her

“What’s wrong with you? You’re walking like a 5 years old kid receive his candy. Are you that excited?” Doojoon raised his eyebrows after we finished buying ice-cream

“You’re talking nonsense” I ignored his statement

“Hey, this’s for you” I ran to Hyuna happily, smiled widely and gave her an ice-cream

She stands up and her hand is shaking when she takes the ice-cream. She’s too happy? Woa!! I should do this a month ago.

“Why you haven’t eaten?” I asked because she just looked at it for a while as she stared at me

A tear falls down from her eye all of sudden. Wait, she’s crying? Why? Did I do something wrong? I don’t know what to do. After few seconds, she throws the ice-cream to the floor and walks away. I’m stunned. Joe looks at me before following her. I can tell you that his eyes looked sad.

“Hyung, what happened?” – Dongwoon

“I don’t know, either” I shaked my head

My friends were sitting so they might not see Hyuna cried. I swear she cried. What did I do?

{Kim’s mansion}

“Is Hyuna home?” I came here right away

“Yes. But she locks her room. I think you can’t teach her today” the nanny answered

“Did she look okay when she was back?”

“No. Has something happened?”

“Ani…Aren’t you scared that she may think something stupid when she’s alone in her room?”

“Don’t worry, Junhyung. Master has put camera in her room”

“Oh…” I was disappointed. I thought she may let me in to check.

“Goodbye then. Good night, Junhyung”

“Good night, nanny”

{The next day}

I go to Hyuna’s class immediately when the teacher leaves. She’s here. Her head’s resting on the desk and she’s staring at the seat next to her. Her face is still the same. Emotionless. It’s different from yesterday. I can tell you that her eyes showed angriness. Was she angry at me? But why?

“Hey, are you okay?” I sat on the seat beside her after her teacher went out

“Are you angry at me?” my head was on the desk just like her

“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to make you sad. I just want you be happy” she didn’t react at all

“Oppa!!” someone shouted

“Why’re you here? And what’re you doing?” Hara stood between Hyuna and me. How could she turn her to Hyuna?

“Yah!! It’s rude when you show your in front of someone’s face” I pushed Hara aside

“Oppa~ Don’t tell me that you love that girl…or guy?” Hara glanced at Hyuna weirdly. What’s wrong with her brain? She’s crazy.

“She’s a girl, Hara. Stop being rude. I feel embarrassed being your friend”

“Oppa~” she whined. It doesn’t work, Hara. I hate that. I hate you. You’re annoying

When Hara and I are busy talking, Hyuna disappears. Damn you, Hara. I can’t find her anywhere. Why Joe didn’t give me a signal this time? Does he hate me too?

{2 weeks later}

I keep saying sorry for weeks. My friends asked me why I did that but I couldn’t answer. The difference is she let me teach her again or should I say she let me go in her room. My friends have already given up. I can’t force them. It’s too bored for them when we just sat in the garden and talked. Anyway, it’s just me left. I still sit the bench near Hyuna’s. Sometimes, crazy Hara sits beside me saying something but I don’t care. My mind’s somewhere. You know where it is, right? I won’t tell you if you don’t know. Hyuna keeps her habit. She just sits there and closes her eyes. Maybe she enjoys the fresh air. About me, I take my notebook with me when I sit here. It’s not a normal notebook. It’s contained all my songs that I composed or some is in the progress. I can’t imagine what’ll happen to me if I lost it.

It’s quite good sitting here. It makes composing easier for me.

“Hyung!!!” Dongwoon suddenly screamed

“What?” I startled

“Principal wants to meet you. Hurry”

“Arrasso. I’m coming” I rushed to him

Aish, does the principal go insane too? Just a normal talk between monitors and principal but he acted like it was an emergency. School has ended. Let’s go home then. Hold on. Why’s my bag so light today? Oh god. WHERE’S MY NOTEBOOK?

I have searched everywhere in my class and even teacher office but I didn’t see it. Where’re you, notebook? Hold on, maybe…There you are. I find it on the bench where I sit to watch Hyuna. You should be more careful next time, Junhyung. I carefully put it in my bag and go home.

{2 weeks passed}

The previous weeks were driving me crazy. Exams, events, exams and events again. Why am I a monitor? On the other hand, Hyuna’s still the same. I start feeling hopeless. She’s impossible to reach. Today, I take a day-off. I mean today I won’t go to the garden to watch Hyuna. I’m tired. Maybe my spirit will be back after today.

“Hyung, it’s weird seeing you here in break time” – Kikwang

“Don’t you go to the garden?” – Hyunseung

“No. I’m exhausted” I rested my head on the desk

“Give up already?” – Jina

“N…Yeah, a little” I sighed

“We want to help but if she doesn’t anticipate, it’s useless” – Jihyun

“I know”

“Is that Hyuna?” I followed my friends’ gazes as my eyes got widen

“Yah!! What happened?” I ran to her immediately

She ignores me and continues walking. I hold her shoulders

“Yah!! I asked WHAT HAPPENED” I shouted because I couldn’t hold my anger anymore and everyone turned to look at us. Great.

Her face and arms have a lot of bruises. Some are even bleeding. It must be really hurt, how can she hold that? All her reaction is looking at me blankly like she doesn’t understand anything what I said. Can’t blame her. She has been like this for years and I never success if I continue shouting at her.

“Let’s go” I grabbed her wrist and about to walk away

“Oppa, don’t go with that girl. Why you care about her?” Hara appeared all of sudden

“None of your business” I didn’t care about Hara and pulled Hyuna with me

It’s the first time I’m happy with Hyuna’s ‘quiet’ attitude because she goes with me obediently. We enter the clinic but no doctor is here. How can they call this a clinic when there’re no doctors?

“Sit still” I forced her to sit on the chair and went to find a first aid kit

I quickly return when I find it. I’m afraid she’ll disappear and I’m right. She’s about to leave when I’m back. I make her sit again and start cleaning the blood first.

“Tell me if it’s too painful, okay?” Tell you? You think she’ll tell you? Pabo Junhyung

“Okay, done” I put away the kit as she took a look at the bandage

“Can you tell me what happened now?” I tried to ask again and she stood up

“I know everything about your past, Hyuna. Let me help you. Your mother’s diary…” I stopped when realizing she was staring at me

“Nothing. I watched a drama last night. Just practicing the lines” I lied as she left. It’s too dangerous to tell her at this time

“Why it’s so hard to get closer to you, Hyuna?” I sighed disappointedly

“Oppa, don’t tell me you love her IN REAL?” Hara asked me right away when I entered the class

“Yes. I love her. Happy?” I sat down

“What about me? What about us? We’re a couple”

“We are NEVER a couple, Hara. You imagined that”

“Oppa, you…” she was cut off when teacher came in. Wait, that’s the principal not the teacher. What’s he doing here?

“Silence!!! I want to announce something. This class’ll have a new student” he said as the class was noisy again. Why he had to come here just because of that ‘new student’?

“I said be quiet!! Actually, she isn’t new at all. You all know her. She’ll start studying in this class since today…Come in…Aish…” he turned to the door but no one appeared so he walked to the door

“WHAT?” my class exclaimed in unison when seeing the principal pulling Hyuna in

“But principal, we ran out of seat” one of my classmates made an excuse. Well, I can tell you that they don’t like her.

“Don’t lie, dear…Hyuna’ll sit beside Junhyung. Yoseob,  please sit beside Gayoon” the principal smiled. What? Me?

“Yes, sir” Yoseob seemed happy. He must be. He sits with his girlfriend now.

“NO. You can’t let her sit next to him, sir” Hara protested

“Please low your voice down, Hara. If you don’t like it, tell it to Mr.Jaehyun. He’s the one suggested” So Mr.Jaehyun wants me to take care of her in school too?

“Aish” Hara complained and sat back

“Okay, done. Mrs.Kang, you can come in. Study well, class” the principal left after we bowed to him

“Hey, come and sit down” I walked to her and pulled her to our seats

“Hi, I’m your new teacher. You can call me Mrs.Kang. I’ll teach you music this year…Now, please open your book”

My class does what Mrs.Kang said but Hyuna doesn’t so I take her bag and take out her book for her. Why does she bring the books but doesn’t use them?

“Why don’t you sing with us?” Mrs.Kang suddenly stopped and asked Hyuna. Mrs.Kang is new here so she may not know about Hyuna.

“ is hurt so she can’t speak these days, teacher” I answered as Mrs.Kang continued

“Let me take you home” I suggested after the school ended

Hyuna keeps quiet and go away. Why should you always like this, Hyuna?

{Few days passed}

We all know about the situation. Hyuna still stares at the table even I try so hard to make her study at home or at school. If you wonder why I’m still her tutor, I don’t know. Whenever I teach her just like I’m talking to myself. No response. I’m going insane. It’s break time. I take a look at Hyuna and she’s sleeping. I shake my head lightly not knowing what to do next   

“Hyung. Have you composed new songs? We have a festival next week right?” Yoseob and the others came to me

“I didn’t have time. I didn’t touch my notebook about two weeks so I don’t remember I had or not…Here. See it by yourself” I lazily gave him my notebook

“Let’s see” Yoseob opened it as the others surround him to look

“There it is” his voice sounded excited

“Woa~ This’s good, oppa” Gayoon said. I get used to the compliments. Who am I? I’m Yong Junhyung

“But is it too sad?” – Dongwoon

“I agree. It’s good  because there’s part for the boy answering the girl’s part but it’s too depressed. When did you start composing about break up, oppa?” – Jiyoon

“Sad? Boy answers? Break up? What’re they talking about? I have never composed like that…Let me look” I took the notebook from Kikwang and read it

“I didn’t write this” my eyes got widen at the lyrics

“WHAT?” my friends exclaimed
