“Raemi, teacher is come, don’t sleep. Raemi….” Hyunil try to wake me up. We’re on junior high school, Hyunil can grow until now it’s something amazing for me. it have been 5 years after his 2nd transplantation.
“Shut up!” I said.
“Yaa!!! Yaa!! Kang Raemi! Wake up and go out until my class end!” he slapped my table, I get shocked.
I get up.”Yaa!!! don’t make Hyunil shock, could you?” He stare at me and I just recognize if he’s my English teacher. “Son… Sonsaengnim… ahahaha…. Annyeonghasimnikka… Eung?”
“Miss Kang!! GET OUT NOW!!!” I walk out while mumble.
“Sonsaengnim…” Hyunil raise his hand.”I… could I go out too?”
Two ours later, bell ringing. Hyunil sit beside me and I just stand up. “Aigooyaaa~ I’m tired!! Let’s eat Hyunil-ah!~ I’m hungry.” I hold his hand.
“I’m not hungry…”
“A~ jinjja? I make fries for lunch, you should eat because you want to accompany me and didn’t attend the class.” I said while messed up his hair.
“But you always help me Raemi-ah…” he fixed his hair.”By the way, could you cook? I don’t know about that.”
“Yaa!!! Yaa!!!” I pinch his shoulder, he smile at me. “Jinjja!”
When me and Hyunil goes to the canteen. “Raemi~ let’s eat lunch with us.” He’s naughty boy in the school, his gang always annoy me, but I always ignore them. I won’t to hurt Hyunil.
“Gomawo, but I’l eat my lunch with him.” I hold Hyunil’s hand and walk away.
“Yaaaa!!!! Raemi!!! Why you always reject me for him?” he stopped me. “He’s weak, Hyunil-ah you know you can life until now it’s because Raemi!!! You’re so weak I don’t know why Raemi always beside you, is your ideal type is weak boy?”
I slapped his face. “just said it once again and I’ll make sure you couldn’t talk again after this!” I prepare my hand to punch him.
“You!!!” He grab the collar of my uniform. “I’ll tell about this to your father!”
“don’t hurt her!” Hyunil push him, he fall off and I can feel Hyunil’s breath.

“gomawo…” he smile at me.
“Ne! gwenchana~” I open the curtain. “Could you feel the wind? Ah! It’s nice weather, let’s go out for a while. You should look around after surgery.” He nodded.
We’re going walk in the park, Hyunil used his wheelchair. We stop under the tree, I wearing my jacket to him. I sit on the grass and looking for clovers.”What are you doing Raemi?”
“Sssttt!!! I find a clover” I said.
“For what?” He asked.
“I’ll make a wish, did you ever heard it before.” He nodded, I smile. “PLEASE SAVE HYUNIL!!!! PLEASE TAKE HIS PAIN!!” my eyes teary.”PLEASE TAKE HIS PAIN!!! I WONT TO LOSE HIM! TAKE HIS PAIN!!!” I shouted at the clover and I wish it can hear my wish.

“…. Ray….” I try to hold my tears.
“Ray?” I turn around.
“Because you protect me, I think Ray is cool name for you. so you could protect me when Hyunil couldn’t protect me, I’ll always protect Hyunil but not for Ray”. He giggles and hug me again.
“Let’s get along together Raemi-ah… don’t cry, ne?”
"I... I can't...." I sob even more.
Suddenly he hold my cheeks and kiss on it."Stop crying... I hate the taste of tears...."
At the end I cried in his arms.
