Seolhyun slammed against the alley wall, letting out a gasp of pain and falling onto the ground. "So, this is where you ran off to, huh?

With your retarded father?" the main bully said, nudging Seolhyun with her foot. Seolhyun glared up at her.

     "Oh this got some confidence while we weren't around," the other girl snarled and then kicked Seolhyun in the stomach.

Seolhyun gave a strangled gasp for air and a cry of pain as her breath left her. How had they found her? What were they doing here?

The main bully knelt down to the coughing Seolhyun. "Why don't we play around a bit today, hmm? I mean we haven't seen each other in

such a long time," she said, lifting Seolhyun's chin with a finger. The girl pulled her fist back and Seolhyun closed her eyes for the impact

when she heard a loud smack and a thump. Seolhyun opened her eyes to see Hyejeong standing over the main bully. The girl's eyes

were wide with fear as Hyejeong grabbed her by the shirt, pulling her up and slamming her against the alley wall.

     "What the hell? Who the hell are you?" the other bully said, grabbing Hyejeong's shoulder. Seolhyun knew what was coming.

Hyejeong whirled around and landed a powerful punch on the offending girl's face and a sickening crack was audible. The girl fell from

the impact, screaming in pain as blood gushed down from her now abnormally shaped nose.

     "Who the hell am I? I'm the one that's going to kill the both of you," Hyejeong snarled, turning back to the main bully. "And you. You

wanted to play, right? Let's play," Hyejeong said, a menacing smile curving her lips and a dangerous glint in her eyes. Seolhyun

scrambled up, doing her best to ignore the shooting pains in her stomach and lurched towards Hyejeong, grabbing her shoulder.

Hyejeong whirled around, about to throw another punch when she realized that it was Seolhyun.

     "Unnie. Don't. Please. I don't want you to get in trouble," Seolhyun said weakly, coughing and wincing as pain shot through her.

Hyejeong gave a pained look at the younger girl.

     "They hurt you, Seolhyun. I'm going to kill both of them," Hyejeong snarled, glaring  at the two girls on the ground cowering in fear.

     "Unnie, please. Don't," Seolhyun begged, tugging on Hyejeong's sweater. Hyejeong gave a frustrated growl. Then, she kicked the

main bully as hard as she could and whirled around, grabbing Seolhyun's wrist.

     "If you two stupid es ever come near Seolhyun again. No, if I even see you again, I will kill you," she warned and then she

turned back and walked towards the cafe.

     "Oh my god you two. Where were you?!" Yuna yelled, running towards them. Then froze.

     "Hi unnie. Sorry for leaving," Seolhyun said weakly. The girl's black hair was tangled and messy, a bruise was on her cheek, and her

lip was bleeding. Hyejeong stopped walking and turned to Seolhyun.

     "Yah! Are you stupid? Why would you go with them?!" she yelled. Seolhyun dropped her head as tears started fall. Hyejeong's gaze

softened and she let out a sigh and hugged the smaller girl. "I'm sorry, I was just really worried about you. It's okay," she said softly as

Seolhyun broke down against her. Seolhyun felt safe in Hyejeong's arms, she always did, and she was thankful for that.

     "Hyejeong, what happened?" Yuna asked, looking at Seolhyun amd then back up at Hyejeong.

     "Some girls from her old school found her and beat her up," Hyejeong said, her jaws clenching. Yuna's eyes widened.

     "Are they dead? Where are they? You can't just leave evidence lying around," Yuna said. She honestly wouldn't put it past Hyejeong

to have killed them.

     "They would've been dead, but Seolhyun stopped me," Hyejeong said, Seolhyun's head as she cried into her shoulder.

"Come on, let me see," Hyejeong said softly, gently pulling the smaller girl away from her and lifting her face up. Seolhyun looked to see

worry and anger in Hyejeong's eyes as she examined her bruised face.Then, Hyejeong's hands dropped down and she hung her head.

"I'm sorry for not being there for you. I'm so useless," Hyejeong said, clenching her fists at her sides.

     "What are you talking about, unnie? How could you say that? You're always there for me!"

     "But you always get hurt anyway," Hyejeong muttered bitterly.

     "It's not your fault unnie. I'm really thankful that you're always there for me. And can I get some medicine for this? It sort of stings,"

Seolhyun said, smiling meekly and pointing at her cut lip.

     "H-huh? Oh right, yeah," Hyejeong said, smiling back at her. The three girls made their way to a pharmacy, Yuna asking questions the

whole way. When they got there, they purchased some medicine and an ice pack for Seolhyun's now purplish bruise. Suddenly, Yuna's

phone rang and she wlked outside to answer it. A minute later, she walked back in.

     "Hey guys I have to go. See you tomorrow! Get well Seolhyun-ah!" she said, and then went off. The two looked at each other and

Hyejeong shrugged. They walked outside. It was dark now and the numerous shops and street lights illuminated the area.

     "Here, sit down," Hyejeong said, gently pushing the smaller girl down on a rail. Hyejeong handed Seolhyun the ice pack and then

opened the medicine pack. Squeezing some of it onto her finger, Hyejeong leaned down and started rubbing it gently onto Seolhyun's lip.

"Damn it, now I can't kiss you," Hyejeong muttered as she finished and straightened up again. Seolhyun giggled and looked up at

Hyejeong with loving eyes.

     "I love you unnie," she said, smiling up at the tall girl. Hyejeong bent down again and pecked Seolhyun on the cheek.

     "I love you too, and you know it," she said grinning. "Alright, let's go," she breathed out, grabbing Seolhyun's hand and waving her

hand for a taxi. In a few seconds, a taxi pulled up and the two got in. "To Kang Apartment please," Hyejeong said, and the taxi pulled

away towards it's destination. Seolhyun put her head and Hyejeong's shoulder, sighing in contentment. Hyejeong responed by putting her

head on top of Seolhyun's and soon she could here the younger girl's breathing slow. When had she fallen so hard for this girl? They had

gone through so much together. She remembered not feeling anything after her mother's death and her father's abandonment, only

feeling the coldness gripping her heart, until Seolhyun came along it and thawed it out, making her heart move for once in her long years

of being alone. She knew that she would do anything for the girl beside her, and she knew the other would do the same, and for some

reason, that made her happy. She looked down lovingly at the sleeping girl and smoothed her hair, kissing her forehead as she did so.

     After a few minutes, they finally arrived in front of their apartment. Hyejeong thought about waking Seolhyun up, but then saw her

peaceful sleeping face and instead, picked her up bridal style after paying the driver. After she managed to unlock the door without

waking Seolhyun up, she took the girl to her room and layed her down. She remembered the first time doing that for the younger girl,

when she had been unconscious and in a horrible state. But now, looking at Seolhyun who was in a peaceful slumber, she felt happy and

thankful for the girl who had come falling into her life. Hyejeong was dead tired and she undressed, put on her pajamas, turned off the

lights, and then fell into bed with Seolhyun. She turned to face the younger girl and then embraced her, closing her eyes, the last thing

she saw being Seolhyun's face.

     "I love you."
