As Ji Yeon walked by the gym door, her hair got caught in the door’s hinges.

*Oh great,* she thought.

*It’s not like I’m not embarrassed enough already and now this. I bet they’re all laughing now.* She began to tug at her hair to pull it loose.

However, unsuspecting by anyone, just above Ji Yeon’s head was a loose fan’s sharp blade. And it was about to fall.

It all just happened so fast.

Something instinctly made Seung Ho look up. There it was. Just a few more cracks and the heavy twirling fan would fall. Right onto an unsuspecting Ji Yeon. Seung Ho felt as though time had stopped and everything had frozen in place. But time did not stop. And he was moving.

Images flashed before Seung Ho’s eyes. Ji Yeon would be crushed and killed. Then there will be no more Ji Yeon. How lonely and empty his life would be.

When Ji Yeon turned around to see if anyone was laughing, she saw Seung Ho’s cocky smiling face turning into a face of horror. She began to wonder what he was doing. There he was running as fast as he could towards her. It was so fast. She heard a loud crash and felt her body slam against the wall. She out for a second before she realized what was happening.

Too close. That was way way too close. Seung Ho felt his heart beat so loud that it was pounding in his ears. When he grabbed Ji Yeon he didn’t stop running until he made it outside the gym and the wall stopped him. It took him a second to realize that his lips were pressed against something soft. He opened his eyes.

*Oh my GOD!* His eyes got even wider.

*I’m kissing Ji Yeon! She’s gonna kill me!* He began to think really fast.

*I’ll just close my eyes and pretend like I know nothing.* It took a while but Ji Yeon finally came back to her senses. She felt something pressed against her entire body.

*Oh my gosh! Seung Ho is kissing me!* She pushed him off of her.

“You ert!” she yelled as she balled her fists up until her knuckles turn white. Then there was that look on Seung Ho’s face again. Ji Yeon knew something was wrong. Her hand slowly felt the back of her head. Her long hair was gone. The front was still long but the back was severed all the way up to her shoulders. She was in shock.

“How could you do this to me?” she cried out. Seung Ho shrugged his shoulders.

“Umm…. Victory Kiss?”

*I can’t believe I said that!* Too late. Seung Ho saw Ji Yeon turn even angrier. Then he felt a painful slap across his cheek. He turned his head back just in time to see her run away. Then slowly, he went over to the gym doors to pick up what was left of Ji Yeon’s hair. Slowly his tears fell upon the shiny black hair he was holding.

Seung Ho was hurting and it wasn’t from the slap. It was a different kind of pain.
