It's been a while since Isabella lay asleep on the bed in the infirmary, beside her a young man sat with a sad face. Not long after, a middle-aged woman smiled and came over to him.
"Get off that face baby, she's fine." Said the middle-aged woman smiled and lightly patted the young man's shoulder.
"Ahh Miss Emily, yes sorry I was just worried because a few moments ago she suddenly fainted"
Miss Emily just smiled and left Yifan who was looking after Isabella, after that Yifan again saw the little girl with dimples who was still sleeping in her sleep.
It was already late afternoon when Isabella opened her eyes, and she saw a room dominated by white she realized that it was a medical room. Just as Isabella was about to raise her hand she accidentally touched something. When she turned her head it was Yifan's hand, the young man had guarded Isabella until he fell asleep on the edge of the bed. The girl smiled and then got up slowly and leaned back.
"Yifan wake up" Isabella touched Yifan's shoulder and shook him gently. The young man opened his eyes and then looked up and saw Isabella smiling at him.
He immediately got up and that surprised Isabella too, "Bels! You're awake. Are you okay ?" There was a clear look of concern and tiredness on his face. Seeing that made Isabella feel guilty for worrying her so much.
Seeing Isabella's guilty face made Yifan immediately sit back and accidentally held Isabella's hand and smiled at her. "I'm sorry Yifan, I made you worry," Isabella said holding Yifan's hand. But Yifan just shook his head and smiled gently at Isabella. "No, I'm exaggerating, I'm sorry. Are you okay now? Is anyone still sick?" asked the young man slowly.
Isabella shook her head and smiled so sincerely at Yifan. "I'm fine, thank you." Yifan smiled and was grateful at the same time. But then Yifan realized his grip on his hand and then slowly let go. And smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head that didn't itch. "But I'm sorry I carried you earlier because on the way you suddenly fainted and it made me panic and I carried you without thinking first"
"Why should apologize, Yifan, it's okay. Besides, I should be the one thanking you for bringing me here, sorry for bothering you."
"N-no you didn't bother me at all Bels, it's just that what they did was outrageous."
Yifan lowered his head, the little girl knew that her friend was now holding back his anger. Then Isabella slowly touched Yifan's hand which was gripped very tightly.
"If you continue, your hand will hurt Yifan," Isabella said very gently she opened Yifan's hand and then held it with both hands.
"Bu - But Bels they already,"
"Enough Yifan it's my business with them. You can't get involved because you're a man and a real man shouldn't hit let alone hurt a girl. That's what my Papa always said and I'm sure your father would also say the same thing as clearly seen by your attitude towards your mother and me too." Yifan had no time to continue his words but Isabella had said what was in her heart to Yifan made the Asian young man silent then smiled at the little girl with dimples on one cheek.
On the other hand, Gabriel will get ready to pick up Isabella and go home with her during his trip he meets Kiki who will also go to Isabella's place.
"Yooo~ Ice Prince are you heading to the same place as me?" Kiki said when Gabriel walked beside him.
"Hmm" Kiki was not surprised by Gabriel's attitude because he had known him since childhood after all they were still cousins and friends since childhood even though the relationship between the two didn't look good but if they worked together it was certain that they would win.
As the two of them were about to reach Isabella's class someone standing and leaning against the door stopped them.
"It's useless the princess isn't here~," someone said while grinning at Gabriel and Kiki. They both furrowed their brows.
"What do you mean ?!" Gabriel stepped in front of the person.
"Well that's because the princess isn't really here~ She's in the infirmary right now." That person was so calm even as Gabriel grabbed him by the collar.
"Why would she be there!!! Does this have anything to do with you!! " Gabriel shouted at the man.
"Hmm. . . I don't know why you don't just ask her." The man's grin widened when he saw the anger on Gabriel's face. Unprovoked Kiki woke Gabriel up, he grabbed Gabriel's shoulders and stopped Gabriel.
"Riel, come on we don't have time for this. The most important thing now was Isabella. "
Gabriel violently removed the man's collar and threw him backwards until his back hit the door. But the person kept grinning and didn't seem to feel the slightest pain. After that Gabriel and Kiki ran towards the infirmary, when they got there they saw the little girl they like laughing and joking with an Asian boy.
The two of them stepped into the infirmary, the arrival of Gabriel and Kiki made Isabella stop laughing for a moment.
"Oh, Mr Cho! Kiki!" Isabella greeted them with a dimpled smile.
Gabriel immediately approached Isabella and held her hand, "Miss Kim are you okay? Why are you here? " Gabriel asked in a very worried tone.
"No, I'm fine, Mr. Cho is just tired." Isabella lied because she was sure if Gabriel and Kiki knew what was really going on they would definitely do something she didn't want.
Seeing Isabella's stiff face and smile, the handsome young man who rarely smiled became doubtful but he also didn't want to force Isabella to tell the truth about her current condition. In contrast to Kiki who immediately walked towards the beautiful girl and stood beside Yifan.
"Is that true? You're not lying to us, are you, princess?" Kiki gently stroked Isabella's black mane.
Isabella who was treated like that also felt guilty to her two cousins for telling lies to them. Yifan who saw that couldn't just stay silent.
"Actually Gina and her friends did this to Isabella, they hit Isabella with a bucket of dirty cold water and the bucket was also very heavy and fell on Isabella's head which made her cold and faint" Yifan explained to Gabriel and Kiki, and Isabella couldn't help it either because it was pointless to lie to her two cousins again because they both knew her too well to know if she was lying or not.
Gabriel and Kiki showed the same face which was Anger. "Is that true Miss Kim? " Gabriel asked Isabella who was currently holding the little girl's hand. Isabella took a deep breath and nodded her head she could feel the angry grip on their hands and the soft caress of her hair by Kiki.
"I don't want you to get involved in this! This is my problem with them so don't do anything on my behalf understand?! "Said Isabella, now both of her hands are holding the hands of each of her cousins. With Isabella's face that was so serious, Gabriel and Kiki couldn't say anything, they just kept quiet and agreed to Isabella's request even though in their hearts they would do something.
Not long after, Gabriel and Kiki took Isabella home and Yifan was going home and then started the part-time job he was doing. They walked together out of their school gate with Isabella walking between Gabriel and Kiki, each holding her hand. And Yifan walked beside Kiki and smiled when he saw Isabella, who was raving annoyed at being treated like a child by her two cousins.
