I kept running, I don't know for how much, I just followed my instinct. It was already dark I could feel the cold win caressing my pale face and my blonde hair was flying away. when I turn the corner I saw a place with the lights on, the only building with people, it was at the second floor and it looks like a bar or something, maybe a hide-out for some kids but when I focused my eyes, I saw Dara staring at the window, she was spacing out and as I could see her lip was bleeding. As fast as I could I ran towards the building entrance, there was no door, just stairs... trying to not make a sound I walk up stairs, at the end of the stairs was a door, it was made of crystal or something like that because I could see all that was happening inside of the room, there were at least 8 guys, all of them were drinking and playing pool. I could hear their laughs and their jokes, one of them... Minho started talking to Dara but she just kept quiet, Minho laughed and then slapped Dara. I got furious... without thinking about it I kick the door, making it opend and as fast as I could I ran, took Dara's hand and started running away 

"Where you think you are going¡" a guys said, he slapped me once but I didn't care I just kept myself in front of Dara, again the guy slapped me but this time another one kicked my stomach. I felt like dying but I have to be strong for Dara

"YAAH¡" I heard Dara's scream, I turned, Minho dragged her away, pushing her against the wall, the pain I was feeling disappeared when I saw that, I just got in front of all of the guys and punched them, one by one, all of them fell on the floor except from Minho who pushed me away, I kicked his stomach and he screamed in pain, I did it again until he feel on the floor.

When I saw all of them on the floor I grab Dara's wrist and ran away with her, we ran stairs down and then we started running, I felt like I was going to fall down but I kept running as fast as I could 

"You¡ STOP¡" we heard a voice, fast both of us turned, all of the guys were following us... and they were angry... Dara grasped and started running faster, now she was dragging me

"Faster Chaerin¡" she said,  the streets were alone and dark, it makes me scared but Dara looks like she knows where she is taking us... suddenly we saw a dark corner and we hide there, I was grasping for air so Dara covered my mouth "Shhh...." she said

"Where are they?" a man voice said... they are running towards here 

"I saw them running straight... LET'S GO¡" Minho screamed, we saw them running straight... we kept quiet until they were far away to notice us... when we couldn't hear them anymore we came out of the shadow, Dara held my hand tight, I smiled but suddenly she pushed me

SLAP¡

I felt my face burning, Draa just slapped me? 

"What t's wrong with you huh?" Dara said angrily

"I wanted to protect you¡" I said trying to hold her hands 

"I can do it by myself¡.... Don't mess with my life" she said, her eyes kept staring at me for minutes until she just started crying and ran away... I was dizzy.. what it's wrong with her? Suddenly my phone started ringing so I answered 

"Unnie when are you comming? I made cookies, you forgot it?" Harin said, I grasped and messed my hair a little 

"I'm on my way sister" 

"Hurry unnie¡ it smells good.... you can... hmm bring Dara if you want" she said slowly, she don't likes Dara that much 

"She is sick, she won't come... bye" and then I hung up... how am I going to cover the marks on my face? I feel like my lip is bleeding... damn¡

DARA POV (the next day)

"Miss Park?" the ahjumma called me, I quickly stand up and she smiled "the principal is ready to see you," 

"Thanks ma'am" I said bowing at her, once I entered the office the principal stand up and I bowed at him "Good morning sir" I said 

"Good morning miss Park, please take a sit" he said offering the chair "tell me what's wrong"

"I... am taking a vacation" I said giving him some papers that were signed by my parents. I am not going on vacation, I just told them to sign the paper and they did it "I will be away for a week" 

"Where are you going Dara?" he asked checking the papers 

"hmm...Irland?"

"Is that a question or an answer miss?" he said looking at me suspiciously

"An answer sir¡" I said

"In that case, it's okay... you can go now" he smiled giving the papers back 

"Thanks sir... good day" I bowed and smiled at him 

I am going to hide a week, I am not going to come out even for walk... my home is big enough to walk around, I want to be alone and heal my cuts and the pain of my body, plus I want to think in a way to be apart from Chaerin... 

CHAERIN POV 

Today is the third day without Dara, she hasn't come to school since monday and she didn't say anything, not even a e-mail... every time I try to text her she never text back and when I call her, no one answers... I am worried. I miss her, all I can do is stare at her pictures on her facebook wall and caress the table next to me remembering the feeling of her hand .... I hate it
