Chapter 3

The Ice Princess

[Sora's POV]

 

  I opened my eyes to see a white ceiling.

  Where am I? I thought as I pulled myself up. I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital room.

  I took the blanket off and, when my feet touched the floor, I tried to get up from the hospital bed.

  While getting up my head started to spin slightly, because of that, I started to woble.

 "Be careful!" A familiar voice shouted and someone grabbed me by my waist. "Why did you get up from the bed?!" He questioned, worried.

   I looked up to the person's face. It was Sungyeol. Right.. I saw him before I out. I remembered as I took his hands off of me with a bit of struggle, because I still felt quite weak, and sat back down on the bed.

 "Why are you here?" I asked Sungyeol as he sat down beside me.

 "'Why?' Because I brought you here. You were burning! And it's all because yesterday you insisted going home while it was pouring!" Sungyeol shouted again, worried.

 "Shut up." I snapped as my head was painfully pounding because of Sungyeol's shouting.

 "Does your head hurt?" Sungyeol asked as he gripped my right shoulder.

 "Yeah.. When can I go home?" I asked quietly.

 "There are some tests that need to be run on you and then the doctor will let you go." As Sungyeol finished talking, the doctor came in to the room.

 The doctor came to take me to go have the tests run on me.

 

****

 

 "Don't worry, the fever went down after we gave you some medicine." The doctor said as I and Sungyeol were sitting in front of his desk in the doctor's consulting-room. I just listened to him silently while Sungyeol was smiling widely. "You haven't been eating well, right?" The doctor said in a matter-of-fact tone.

 "Yes." Sungyeol answered instead of me when he figured I wasn't going to say anything regarding that topic.

 "You know that's not good for you." He said. "You should take care of yourself."

 "Don't worry. She'll be taken care of." Sungyeol smiled sweetly at the doctor. I glared at him from the corner of my eye.

 "You're lucky to have a boyfriend like him." The doctor winked playfully at me as I stood up from my seat. I bowed him and went out of the consulting-room, leaving Sungyeol behind.

[Sungyeol's POV]

 

  It was Wednesday morning.

  I was already at school, reading my notes before the Math test I had to retake.

  I was sitting in my seat. For a brief moment I looked at my left. Sora was listening to music with her earphones plugged into her phone.

  Her face is really pale..

  I didn't talk to Sira since the day I took her to the hospital. She ignored my text messages, phone calls. She completely forgot about me and the tutoring sessions.. I pouted unknowingly as I looked at Sora.

  The bell rang making me advert my attention to the notes in my hand and the class started, meaning it was the time I had to retake the Math test.

 

****

 

  I only got to know the score I got in the retaken Math test the day after.

  Mr. Kim told me to go to the teachers' office after school.

 "Hello, Mr. Kim." I bowed to my Math teacher and he greeted me back while holding a paper, which I assumed was my test paper.

 "I guess you're waiting for me to reveal you grade?" Mr. Kim said with a stern face, I nodded in response.

 "Did I get more than 50 percent?" I asked eagerly, but Mr. Kim looked at me disappointed.

 "You got..." Mr. Kim slowly turned the paper in his hands. "92 percent!" A big smile formed on my Math teacher's lips and he gave me the test paper.

 "Really?.." I looked at the test paper with wide eyes.

 "Yes." Mr. Kim beamed. "I knew you would do it, if you wanted." I smiled widely at him in return. "You should do something for Sora as a thanks. She helped you." He winked at me. I bid goodbye to my Math teacher and went to find Sora.

  She still should be at school. I thought as I ran down the hall to the entrance to the school.

  After I reached it, I looked around. There were still a lot of students there. While I was eagerly looking around, the students were looking at me, wondering who I was looking for.

  I saw a locker door closing and it revealed Sora. I smiled as I saw her and quickly ran towards her.

 

[Sora's POV]

 

  I closed my locker's door and, as I was taking out my earphones from my backpack, someone wrapped their arms around my waist and picked me up in the air.

  It was Sungyeol.

 "Thank you!" Sungyeol exclaimed as he spun me in the air. I started hitting his shoulders so he would let me go.

  Thankfully, he let me down back on the ground.

 "What the hell are you doing?" I hissed whispering as I noticed a lot of eyes watching us.

 "Thank you for tutoring me. I got 92 percent! See?" Sungyeol held up a paper for me to see. It was his test paper and on the upper right corner '92' was written in red sharpie.

 "That's great." I said with a visibly fake smile. "Now you can leave me alone, since I don't have to tutor you anymore." I said and walked out of the school and headed to my part-time job.

  I thought Sungyeol wouldn't bother me anymore, but, oh boy, I was wrong.

 

****

 

  It was almost the end of my shift. I was attending my last customer.

 "Here you are." I said as I placed the iced tea on the table in front of the customer who ordered it without looking at him.

 "Thank you." He said and immediately slapped his hand over his mouth. I turned my head to look at him. Are you ing kidding me? I looked at him with a bored expression.

 "What are you doing here? I told you to leave me alone, didn't you hear me?" I said sternly.

 "I wanted to thank you somehow.." Sungyeol said looking down.

 "If you want to thank me, leave me alone." I glared at him and walked away.

 "You can go home, I'll take care of the rest." Mrs. Kim said. I bowed to her and went to the staff room.

  After changing and bidding goodbye to the café owner, I went to the bus stop.

  I was too busy listening to music with earphones while on my way home that I didn't notice that guy sitting next to me.

 

****

 

"Hey.." A voice behind me called as I was unlocking the door of my apartment.

 "My God!" I gasped and turned around to look at the person with my hand on my chest.

 "Sorry." Sungyeol sheepishly smiled while I glared at him still trying to catch my breath. 

 "What did I say at the café?" I asked Sungyeol coldly and resumed unlocking the door.

 "To leave you alone.." Sungyeol answered with a deep sigh.

 "So why are you standing in front of me and bothering me?" I asked again.

 "I'm just worried about you.." Sungyeol answered shyly.

 "Why would you be? We are nothing to each other. We just happened to be classmates  and, unfortunately, neighbors. So don't get too carried away." I said while looking emptily at Sungyeol's confused face.

 "I just wanted-"

 "You just wanted what?" I cut him off. "You wanted to get in my pants or what?" I snapped after I entered my apartment, but I was still looking at Sungyeol while holding the door.

 "No, not at all!" Sungyeol shouted with a tinge of red on his cheeks. "I just wanted to be friends with you.." He said as he looked down.

 "'Friends'? You've got to be kidding me!" I laughed while Sungyeol looked at me confused.

 "I'm serious. I just-"

  I cut Sungyeol off again by slamming the door of my apartment right in his face.

 "I don't need your bull. You would never understand me and what I have been through." I said while looking at my door with saddnes.
