Hae Rin sits at her place and staring out the window.
"I hate to see you hurt like this because it hurts me so much"
What did he mean just now? Hae Rin putting her head on the table. She feels lazy to think about that. Maybe Min Jun intentionally want to tease her.
"Oh! Min Jun, why are you here?"
Hae Rin opens her eyes but she didn't raise her head. She heard the chair next to her is pulls by Min Jun to sit at his place.
"I'm lazy to go to class in the morning" he answered easily.
Dae Ho and Jae Min also sat in front of him.
"Where did you go?" Jae Min asked.
"School roof"
Dae Ho and Jae Min grinned and look at Hae Rin.
"No wonder there someone hurries up to the roof of the school" a voice came out of nowhere but not Dae Ho and Jae Min.
"If you want to know, that person bad mood today in the class. Maybe because you didn't come" Sora sneered.
Hae Rin only deafened her ears when one of her classmates mocked her. Min Jun just glared at Hae Rin. Areum, who had been sitting in her place, suddenly stand. Min Jun notices her and for some reason, his feet told him to follow Areum. Hae Rin realizes the loss of Min Jun and immediately raising her head. She sees Min Jun walking with Areum leaving the class.
"Are you jealous right now?"
Hae Rin staring at Dae Ho and Jae Min.
"You like to find problems with me, right?" Hae Rin was angry.
"I know you're jealous of Min Jun and Areum. If you want to know, go follow them" continued Jae Min and they both left laughing.
Hae Rin just stares at them until they disappeared.
"Follow them? No way!" Why do I feel like this?
-
Chae Min run to get Hae Rin who was walking fast.
"What wrong with you? I said you to wait for me, right?" Chae Min walking next to Hae Rin.
"Are your hands okay? It hurts again?" Chae Min asked.
Hae Rin just keeps quiet. Her mood is not so good right now.
"What wrong, Hae Rin?" Chae Min asked and saw Hae Rin's grim face.
"I don't know. I'm not in the mood today" she replied.
Arriving at the bus station, they sit down. Not many people today because they both came home late from school today. Chae Min invites Hae Rin to accompany him to play basketball. So, Hae Rin just waits until it was over. At least she can also wash their eyes by watching the boys playing basketball.
"Have you asked Min Jun yet?"
When she heard that man's name mentioned, Hae Rin's mood continued to fade again. They both did not return to class after the break. What do you think they're talking about? Hae Rin is just positive thinking maybe Areum wants to persuade Min Jun about his birth mother.
"Did you hear me?"
"What ??" Hae Rin asked back.
"Have you asked Min Jun about basketball?"Chae Min has to repeat his question.
"Not yet. You ask him by yourself" replied Hae Rin.
"Well, I'll ask by myself. He was there"
Min Jun is here? Hae Rin watching Chae Min walking towards someone. Min Jun and Areum? What are they doing together? Why they still not go back from school again? It broke his heart to see them. She sees Chae Min talking to Min Jun and Areum. She realized that Min Jun was looking at her here.
"Hi!" Hae Rin immediately turned away.
Nam Hyuk arrives and sits next to him. I don't know where this guy came from.
"Nam Hyuk? You're not back home yet?" Hae Rin asked.
"Not yet! I was play basketball, right?" he replied.
"I know. I mean .." Hae Rin looked around.
Where's this guy's motorbike? Nam Hyuk also follows Hae Rin's lead.
"What are you looking for?" Nam Hyuk asked.
"Where's your motorbike? Why don't you go back home with the motorbike?" Hae Rin asked.
"My motorcycle was confiscated," he replied.
Hae Rin kept looking at Nam Hyuk.
"Confiscated?"
"Yes! My father took it. So I had to take the bus" he replied.
Hae Rin laughs. She feels funny when hears Nam Hyuk's words. Nam Hyuk laughs a little.
"Is there anything funny?" Nam Hyuk asked.
"Why are you laughing?" Hae Rin asked, back.
"I'm laughing because you're laughing" Nam Hyuk replied.
Hae Rin laughs again. Nam Hyuk smiled at Hae Rin.
"I didn't expect you to listen to your father. Isn't before you told me that you are not afraid of your father" said Hae Rin.
"That used to be, now it's different"
Hae Rin looks at Nam Hyuk who was looking down the road.
"What is the difference?" Hae Rin asked.
Nam Hyuk turns to look at Hae Rin. Their eyes met.
"I used to have you, now I lose you"
Hae Rin's smile died. She immediately looking away. Nam Hyuk looks ahead and saw Min Jun sharply looking at him.
"Why don't you join them?" Nam Hyuk asked while pointing at the three of them there.
"Chae Min just wanted to ask about basketball. He said you're out of his group"
"Yes, I moved to another group. Besides, one group with Chae Min is uncomfortable" explained Nam Hyuk.
Hae Rin just smiled. How to be comfortable, Chae Min is really angry when she tells that Nam Hyuk cheated on her.
"Why didn't you join Min Jun and Areum near the library earlier?" That question silenced Hae Rin.
They're both in the library?
"Don't you know? They said it's a study group," he said.
"I think you were with them. When I asked, they said you didn't want to join and they talked about the Maths quiz for this Wednesday, "Nam Hyuk told her at length.
I don't want to join? When did they invite me to a study group?
"You don't know?" Nam Hyuk asked again.
Hae Rin nodded.
"I know, but I don't want to join. I have to accompany Chae Min" Hae Rin lied.
"You don't mind Areum and Min Jun kept together?" Nam Hyuk asked again.
Hae Rin was stunned.
"If I were you, I'd be furious. It doesn't matter if he's my best friend or not"
"I'm okay. After all, Areum is good. She wouldn't want to do that" Hae Rin calmed her heart.
Nam Hyuk smiled cynically and notices the three of them approaching him and Hae Rin.
"What are you doing here, Nam Hyuk? Where's your motorbike?" Areum asked, rudely.
Nam Hyuk just keeps quiet and he stands up.
"Where are you going?" Hae Rin asked.
"I'll go back first. Besides, I don't feel comfortable here. It's like someone is watching" said Nam Hyuk while glancing at Min Jun.
"How you want to go back to your home? You said you want to take the bus" Hae Rin asked again.
Hae Rin needs Nam Hyuk now. She is upset with Min Jun and Areum. They both sidestepped her. Her heart was too disappointed.
"I don't know" he shrugged.
"Wait here with us. The bus will arrive in a second"
Hae Rin's words startle them. I don't care what you say, I just want a friend instead of me looking at them, Hae Rin whispered.
"In that case, I'll sit back" Nam Hyuk sits back next to Hae Rin.
Chae Min sits next to Hae Rin while Min Jun and Areum are next to Chae Min.
"When can you come practice?" asked Chae Min to avoid being awkward between them.
"Anytime" replied Min Jun.
"If the match starts, let me know. I want to see you play basketball" Areum suddenly interrupted.
"Sure"
Hae Rin clenches her fists. Her heart hurts.
"Hae Rin, shall we go later?"
Everyone looked at Hae Rin. Hae Rin just kept quiet. Min Jun's face was disappointed.
"She's coming. I invited her already" Nam Hyuk interrupted.
Hae Rin looked at Nam Hyuk. Nam Hyuk just smiles looking at her. Does he know I'm mad at them? Just in time, the bus arrived. Hae Rin quickly approaches the bus. Nam Hyuk just following her close behind. Min Jun just stares at them.
-
The pen in Hae Rin's hand was tapped on the table. She is daydreaming.
Tok! Tok!
The counter table knocks on and Hae Rin was still daydreaming.
"Hae Rin?"
She is shocked to see Nam Hyuk in front of him.
"Nam Hyuk, what are you doing here?"
Nam Hyuk shows the canned water in his hand.
"Sorry, I didn't realize you came in" she immediately takes the canned water in Hae Rin's hand.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Nam Hyuk as he handed the money to Hae Rin.
"Err... I... I was thinking of the Mathematic quiz this Wednesday" he replied.
"Oh, have you studied?" Nam Hyuk asked.
Hae Rin shook his head and gave the balance to Nam Hyuk. Nam Hyuk took his canned water.
"I want to help you, but when I hear Mathematics, I'm like ..."
Hae Rin laughs.
"I know and you have a worse result in maths than me" replied Hae Rin.
Nam Hyuk laughs at Hae Rin's taunt.
"Are you kidding me? We're the same"
Hae Rin kept hitting Nam Hyuk's shoulder.
"I'm not that bad," she said.
Nam Hyuk laughs looking at Hae Rin's angry face. Hae Rin follows Nam Hyuk to the outside shop.
"Eh, this is your motorcycle? You said your father took it?" Hae Rin asked when Nam Hyuk sat on a motorcycle in front of the shop.
"I secretly took the key from his room" he replied.
Hae Rin smiles. The time I'm angry like this, he appears to cheer me. Nam Hyuk put on his helmet and looked at Hae Rin.
"Are you pensive again?" Nam Hyuk asked.
"No"
Nam Hyuk smiles and starts his motorbike engine.
"I go first"
Hae Rin just smiles. Then, Nam Hyuk disappeared from her sight.
"Hmm, my cheer is gone" Hae Rin turns to enter the shop.
"Hae Rin!"
Hae Rin turns away. What else do they want?
