'Nell.'
The voice is desperate. I look up at the sky.
'Nell, don't forget me.'
I blink my eyes. Am I hearing things now?
'Please wake up with only good memories, Nell.'
"Nell, let's go." Baek Joon Woo helps me stand. He takes my bag. "Lean on me while you walk."
I look up at the sky again. Was it a ghost? I have been seeing strange things. Am I hearing strange things now? It was calling my name.
"Eli, are you going to walk me home?" I grab his arm with a smile, only to realise that I have called him the wrong name. But he hasn't reacted.
Why did I call him Eli? I don't know anyone who has that name.
"After visiting the pharmacy." He glances at me. "You are allowed to defend yourself. Don't get hurt. I would rather see other people hurt than you."
Guilt wiggles in my chest, but I stomp it down. In our relationship, I am the bad, and he is the good. We balance each other out. "It's barely a scratch."
