Now and Then: Our Existence
Before I went to school, I wore my trench coat so that most of my bruises could be hidden.
The soreness was still present and made it hard for me to move but I managed to endure it.
“Hyerin-ah!!” She got up from her seat and ran towards me at the back door.
“O-ow..” I flinched at her contact as she hugged me tight.
“What’s wrong?” She let go of me.
“It’s nothing..” I smiled weakly at her.
“So what have I been missing out on?”
We continued to talk until classes started.
*I need to talk to him..* I thought as I stared at his backview.
Lunchtime
“Byunghun-“
He immediately walked away.
I ran after him.
“Hyerin! Where are you going?” Eunji shouted.
“Yah! Lee Byunghun!” I tried to catch up with him and endured the pain as he went downstairs.
But unfortunately, I lost him in the crowd.
First I checked that isolated place but he wasn’t there.
Then the second and third floors.
I wasted my lunchtime just searching for him.
*This guy..* I started to get annoyed.
I decided to skip the next period.
Lastly, I went up to the rooftop.
It was quiet.
*Is he not here either?*
I walked up to the fence.
“YOU’RE SUCH AN IDIOT LEE BYUNGHUN!”
I listened to my voice echo.
”..Are you on the brink of your sanity, Kim Hyerin?” I heard a voice.
“Mwo?” I looked around to see if anyone was there.
Then I saw him sitting down at the edge of the wall. He slowly got up and walked a few steps towards the door.
“Yah! Are you running away from me again?” I spat at him.
He stopped in his tracks.
“Are you bipolar or are you just crazy?” My blood boiled.
