Hanuel wasn't responding at all. He took out his phone and called his friend, Bomin; who lived nearby.
"Bomin, can you give me a ride?"
"Yah where are you?"
"Come and pick me, right now. I am in the alley near the bus stop; where Hanuel gets down. FAST"
"Calm down bro, I am coming."
"FAST BOMIN" and he hung up.
Hyunjin's mind wasn't working. He was shaking Hanuel, he picked her up and saw Bomin's car; he ran holding Hanuel. Bomin saw Hanuel and he started driving, "Make it fast to my place. Noona is home."
Hanuel was still unconsciousness, Hyunjin's home was 15 mins away. It was a silent and an intense ride; Bomin didn't ask anything cause he knew the soft side of Hyunjin for Hanuel. Bomin stopped his car outside Hyunjin's house and Hyunjin got out hurriedly, with Hanuel. And before entering his house; he shouted "Thanks bro"
Once he got into his house, he went straight to his bedroom, and laid Hanuel down on his bed, where as Hanuel had still her eyes closed.
"Noona, come here fast and please bring your clothes with you. I want your help" Hyunjin screamed and dropped his and Hanuel's bag on the floor near bean bag, he brought water and a cotton cloth. Hyunjin's sister; Mejin came to his room and saw Hanuel on his bed.
Mejin didn't ask him questions, because she had to stay calm but looking at Hanuel she got worried about her. She was looking lifeless.
"Noona change her clothes and wipe her off and once you're done, call me. I will talk to her. And if she regains her consciousness then please comfort her. She must be traumatized." Mejin nodded her head and Hyunjin left. He went to the kitchen to cut some fruits and on the other side; Mejin wiped Hanuel and managed to change her clothes. Mejin had one question on her mind that how horrified she was. After changing her clothes and wiping her off; she wiped the dried blood on her forehead and applied band-aid. After sometime; Hyunjin knocked the door and Mejin, kept everything aside and got up to open the door.
"You did? Thanks Noona" Hyunjin asked and Mejin nodded. Hyunjin came inside and Mejin took the warm water and wet cotton cloth in her hand, and went outside the room. Hyunjin came with the plate of fruits, he kept it on the table near the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Hanuel. He was thinking, how she changed after she lost her father, she was such a rebel and was always counted in toppers. But now, she looked weak, exhausted, tired.
A sudden scream, snapped Hyunjin from his thoughts; and that was of Hanuel. She woke up and sat, she looked at Hyunjin and Hyunjin looked at her, it looked like she would cry anytime and her terrified face told it all. "Hanuel it's gonna-"
"No no, this can't be." she nodded her head spontaneously.
"Hanuel look-"
"Hyunjin please" and her tears started falling and she hugged him tight, not even having a thought of letting him go. She cried harder, Hyunjin wrapped his arms around her to make her feel better and patted her head. "It's gonna be okay Hanuel. I'm here by your side" Hyunjin said and it made Hanuel cried even more.
Hanuel missed her dad, how he made her feel safe and how horrible Jay was, if Hyunjin didn't come then it must had been her end. She hated it, she hated being weak infront of anyone, she want her dad back and she never want her mum back. Never; after what she did when she was a kid of 7 years.
Mejin looked at Hanuel and Hyunjin and she went back to her room. She wanted to give them space.
After sometime, Hanuel calmed a bit and let go of Hyunjin, and she looked at his wet shirt. "I am sorry Hyunjin for making your shirt wet" and Hanuel looked down.
"Don't be sorry Hanuel, are you better now?" Hyunjin asked because she was still sobbing.
Hyunjin felt horrible when she was crying, he can't stand her tears and sadness, he wanted to be by her side always. "Thankyou Hyunjin" Hanuel said her.
Hyunjin took the plate which had fruits and gave it to her, and Hanuel looked at him. "eat them". Hanuel was still looking at him. "Eat them, I chopped them for you". Hanuel didn't ask him any questions and started eating apples. After sometime she was done. and Hyunjin took the plate from her and got up from the bed. Hanuel instantly, held his hands and looked at him, "Please don't go, please"
Mejin just came at that time, and looked at them. She took the plate from Hyunjin and smiled. After that Hyunjin sat on the bed.
That day, Mejin didn't let Hanuel leave and she stayed at their house. Hyunjin parents didn't come for 3 weeks so Mejin insisted Hanuel to stay for until their parents came and her nightmares continued till 2 weeks. Hyunjin used to get worried and Mejin didn't want her to stay alone in her house so sometimes Mejin went to stay with her.
Maybe till date, if she looks at Jay maybe she will get a bit terrified but definitely she got courage to face him. Both Hyunjin and Mejin helped her, and this is how she got close to them, specially Hyunjin.
That day she got to know that she can rely on one more person after her dad and Minnie. She was happy with Hyunjin.
Soon, he became one of her bestfriend and he started hanging out with her, Hanuel started feeling better and Hyunjin also started feeling better because Hanuel's smile was something he loved the most.
She started to be in usual self soon and she was again back to her rebellious character.
His caring nature made her fall for him. His comfort, his warmth and his presence made her happy. But she never knew that Hyunjin somewhat started liking her too, during their high school years. Coincidentally, they got into same university and same department. But Minnie was in different university. She missed Minnie a lot.
This flashback again came back in Hanuel's mind; while Hyunjin was listening to songs and Hanuel was staring at him. It's been more than a year that Hyunjin's actions started bothering Hanuel's mind.
Sometimes, Hanuel sit beside Hyunjin when he is actually not sulking and he notices that Hanuel is in the same bus.
And Hanuel again started admiring him throughout the bus ride like she always does.
