Chapter two.
My new hope.
Many years has passed, and today it was the first day of school in middle school. I went downstairs and greeted U-kwon's parents. Honestly, I didn't talk too much with them, especially with U-Kwon.
I decided to go to school alone, even if I was still blind. I felt like, I was a real burden for people who took care of me. That's why, I didn't want to have friends.
My relation with U-kwon, hasn't change since the first time we met, everyday, he was following me when we went to school, but once we arrived to class, we acted like strangers.
We, finally arrived in the school, but a hand held mine, and said:
"I'm giving you some food, Umma gave me this morning, I put it in your bag. And don't forget, don't act like you know me please. I'm uneasy when people see me with you."
It was U-kwon, after that, he walked away.
I was doing my best not to show my emotions: I was hurt, I wanted to know him more, get closer to him. He was nice with all the girls, but why he has to be cold with me?
When I entered the class, everyone whispered about me and said bad things like:
"How ridiculous ! Is she blind?! And she is coming to school."
Someone threw a book on me and everyone laughed at me. I closed my eyes , and started to walk slowly towards an empty seat. People continued to throw things at me when I heard a familiar laugh: U-kwon's laugh.
Finally, it was the end of the day, I was walking outside when It started to rain. I wanted to go home quickly but I had to wait U-kwon.
I waited for him for about 20 minutes but he didn't come. I started to walk when someone pushed me into the wall.
The person said:
"Hey, You, blind girl, You know Kim YuKwon right?"
I shook my head.
Another girl said:
"Can you call him for us please. How can he takes care of a girl like you?"
I replied coldly:
"I don't know him."
They made me fall on the ground and said at the same time:
"Don't act stubborn ! Why a girl who is blind should be with a handsome boy?! We saw you with him this morning!"
They started to kick me on the stomach, threw me things, moreover they took my bag and shoes and threw these things away. I was about to faint but I remembered what U-kwon's mum told me : «You only have to press this button and we'll know that you have a problem.». I then, touch this button on my phone, and whispred :
"Help...me".
After that, I fainted.
When I woke up, I felt someone carrying me on his back. I panicked and said:
"Sorry, I need to go home, leave me please."
The person sighed and said:
"It's me. YuKwon."
I didn't know why but, I felt secured with him. Even if , we didn't really talk to each other, I still considered him as a brother, after all this years we spent together under the same roof.
I then said:
"YuKwon-Ah, you must really hate me right ? Thank you, because you came to help me today.
Why you have to be cold with me? And with other girls, why are you so nice ? I really don't understand you. Do you care about my heart as well? Do you know how much I'm hurt sometimes? I don't think you care, I'm real burden for you right?"
There was a silent. I continued:
"YuKwon-Ah, we can be friends right? Can we?"
[U-kwon's P.O.V]
After I heard what she said; I felt confused, somehow I felt guilty at the same time.
I answered her:
"Don't misunderstand. I helped you because mum asked me to do it."
