“Ji Hyo-ah... what are you doing alone here? You said you want to study together with your friend” ask Lizzy who suddenly appear and sit infront of Ji Hyo. Ji Hyo look at Lizzy and just find Lizzy alone infront of her without Kook Jong.

“oh? Where did he go?” said Ji Hyo confuse.

Ji Hyo just left silent, she just doesn’t understans with the situation that she faced, and where is Kook Jong suddenly go? Ji Hyo look at the wet chair when Kook Jong sit before, but she can’t find even a drop of water there.

“did he dry it already?”ask Ji Hyo in her mind.

♪♫♪☻☺♪♫♪

For a long two days are a bright day, the rain was not appear again, rainy season is not really end but it will over soon. And for the two days, Ji Hyo never saw Kook Jong anywhere. She is not sure where she has to looking for him, but his sudden departure two days ago make she really curious about him. Where is he gone? How he can dissapear that fast? All of the question keep haunting her mind. Somehow she remember Kook Jong’s word when they first met when he said that he live under the bus stop building. She doesn’t know what was make her to believe that but without she relaized she was try to go down the edge downhill near the river beside the bus stop.

Ji Hyo go down the slope of the riverbank carefully, even two days was not raining, but because the land slopes near the river, the land on the edge of the river was noticeably loose. Ji Hyo’s feet was multiple time stuck into the ground.

“he must be crazy to told me that he live underground there” mumble Ji Hyo feel unsure but keep continue what was she did so she can see clearly to the under stop bus building.

With all the struggles finally Ji Hyo could see clearly the circumstances under stop bus’s building. But she did not find anything else than loose soil that was wet on the riverbank.

"Tik..tik ... tik ..." suddenly rain started to drizzle, Ji Hyo look up at the sky for a moment and then look back to the ground near the river.

"is there something else out there?" said Ji Hyo curious to see piles of twigs stuck in the corner under the building stops. Ji Hyo tried to take a closer look while holding on to metal chair beside the bus stop. The distance between the surface of the soil to the river is high enough so to see clearly Ji Hyo had to really try to reach as far as possible with her body. But without she knowing it, the rain which flushed makes the chair becomes slippery and Ji Hyo’s grip began to weaken on the handle. At the end Ji Hyo’s grip is slipped and makes Ji Hyo fell into the river.

“byurr!!” the hard sound of Ji Hyo hit the river’s surface.

"Hmmp!" Ji Hyo began to sink and drift.

"what to do ... I can’t swim" murmur Ji Hyo while she continued to move her arms and legs, but could not make her return to the surface and makes Ji Hyo sank deeper and deeper. Ji Hyo began to lose her breath.

In the water, Ji Hyo open her eyes widely. She look arround the water that drowned her deeply. Suddenly some of memory frame haunting her mind, her world feel spinning arround.

There is a little girl who drowned in a river that was a major flood due to rain that never stopped a few days. The girl was trying to reach for the sky that seen from the surface of the water, however she could never reach it. Suddenly she saw a hand trying to grab her and she felt her body lifted up to the water surface.

“byurr!!” someone just jump into river and try to save Ji Hyo. He grab Ji Hyo’s hand and pull Ji Hyo’s body out from the river soon. In a flash Ji Hyo can see the face who was save her life.

“uhuk uhuk!!” Ji Hyo cough hardly when they were at the river’s surface. She turning and find Kook Jong was grab her waist tightly and swimiing take her to the edge.

“uhuk uhuk!!” Ji Hyo can’t say a single word because there are too much water entered and her nose. After they reach the edge, Kook Jong push Ji Hyo’s body so she can lifted up to the ground. After he make Ji Hyo reach the ground, he clim the slope hill. As soon as he reach the hill, Jong Kook tap Ji Hyo’s back who was coughing.

“gwenchana?” ask Kook  Jong worry. Ji Hyo just no
