I Really Didn't Know
Chapter 4: The Photographer
~FOUR~
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
“Hey, let’s have lunch at the cafeteria.” Kai invite me.
“Okay, I’ll see you there. I’ll go to the washroom first.” I said.
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
I am going back to the cafeteria where Kai is waiting for me. I walk pass by the group of girls staring at me. Am I too weird for this school?
“Yumae! Over here!” Kai shout. He was at the western part of the café. I hurriedly go there.
“I already get my orders, I don’t mind to order you some because I don’t have any ideas of what you like.” Kai explained when I finally got there.
“It’s okay. I’ll go to the counter first and get my order.”
“Okay. I’ll go with you.”
“No. I’ll be fine. I’ll be right back.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“Okay. I’ll wait you.” I smile at him and head to the cafeteria. When I’m already at the counter, I look on Today’s Menu above. I smiled when I see the French sweetened cake. I remember Kyungsoo. I decided to take the French sweetened cake and a cappuccino.
“Miss, excuse me. I hope you don’t mind, but can you hold this for a second?” a girl tell me to hold her tray of food and coffee. She is quite tall, has a pale skin, and a short brown hair.
“I just need to tie my shoestring please?” she continued.
“Y-Yeah, it’s okay.” I reply. She give me her tray and she kneel down to tie her shoestring when someone bumped me at my back. I look who is it then the girl who asked me a favor to hold her tray push the tray to me. Consequently, the foods and coffee spilled off my uniform! I look at her with a shocked expression.
“Oops! Sorry!” she said then give me a teasing smile.
“That’s the best painting I’ve ever made, right girls?” she said and look to other three girls behind her.
“Yeah! That’s the best art ever!” I was about to fight for myself when…
“What did you do? You better get out of here or else…” Kyung Soo appeared.
“Or else what? Scholar leader.” The girl said.
‘Or else…”
“Let’s go Sulli.” The other girl said.
“This is not yet over.” She said then they walk away. Kyung Soo take his coat off and cover it to my ruined uniform.
“Let’s go.” He said then he drag me.
“Thank you. But you should let me, I can handle myself.”
“I know. But sometimes, we have to do nothing to make things the way it used to be.” Then I look at him.
Time check: 7:30 PM. I am going to the laundry to get my uniform. I entered the laundry room and my uniform is clean again and ready for another class tomorrow. But when I get out of the room, it’s raining. Luckily, it’s not that heavy so I walk forward to reach my dorm and take a rest. But in a little while, the rain pours so heavy. I’ve been soaked to the rain and unluckily, my newly cleaned uniform is also in a mess. I am now running to reach my dorm when someone grabbed me from one of the vacant rooms outside.
KRIS WU’S POINT OF VIEW:
I’m at the cafeteria to have brunch when I saw that Yumae at the counter. I choose to sit and watch her as she order her meal. I don’t know but there’s something really different when it comes to her. I see Sulli with a tray and talk to her. Could it be important? Or some evil plans again? Yumae hold Sulli’s tray then Sulli kneel down and started to tie her shoestring when she stand up and push the tray to Yumae that cause her food and coffee rom the tray spilled off Yumae’s uniform. I don’t know but my feet automatically move forward to her direction but Kyung Soo was faster than me.
“What did you do? You better get out of here or else…” Kyung Soo said.
“Or else what? Scholar leader.” Sulli said
“Or else…” Kyung Soo repeated. I guess he’s thinking of what to say so I appeared from their back and showed a dark and angry expression towards Sulli and her girlfriends.
“Let’s go Sulli!” one of her friends said.
“This is not yet over.” Sulli said and she look at me then walk away. Kyung Soo take his coat off and cover it to Yumae’s spilled uniform. I turn my back for them not to see me.
“Let’s go.” Then he drag Yumae all the way to the exit. I stand there, looking at them. Why am I too slow? No. Why should I help her? But I did help her already! But why?
It’s raining. It’s raining heavily. How am I supposed to go back to my dorm? I don’t have umbrella. Why I went here anyway? In the place where we shared memories together, to the place where she made me realize my worth? I saw a shadow, no. it’s a figure. Figure of a girl running in the middle of the rainy night. As my vision becomes clearer, and as I see her face, there’s something inside of me acts weird! I grab her away from the heavy rain and take her where I am. In the old vacant room. She’s soaking wet. She is shivering to death because of the cold.
“Who are you?” she asked. There’s no light inside the room so it’s slightly dark.
“What do you want from me?” she asked again. Her voice is shivering too.
“Wear this.” And I give her my jacket.
“You must take your shirt off and wear my jacket.”
“What? Take my shirt off?” she asked.
“Yeah. It’s dangerous not to change wet clothes. You could be sick.”
“Okay. Whoever you are… thank you.” She said. Then she takes her shirt off. I’m surprised that’s she really take her clothes in front of me. Any way she can’t see me. I turn around not to see her. Then I heard a loud thud behind me. I turned around to the direction of the thud and I see her lying on the floor. Did she faint? I kneel down to her, to see her condition but she’s still not wearing my jacket so I slowly put it onto her, then I realize that she’s so hot. She has a fever and she’s not stopping from shivering. I decided to go out and go to the clinic even though the rain is still heavy. I stand up but she hold my hand…
“Please, don’t leave me alone…” she said and I heard her sniff. She’ll be starting to have colds.
“Don’t leave me.” And she hold my hand tighter then I see tears falling from her eyes. She’s crying? Since the rain is still heavy, I sit beside her and I put her head in my thighs, she’s still holding onto my hand.
“Don’t leave me… please.” She said softly as if she whispered in my ears. I look at her then I hug her to decrease the coldness she’s having right now.
YUMAE’S POINT OF VIEW:
I am on a dark room with a man I don’t even know, I can’t see his face vividly but I can hear his voice. I don’t know how I got there but I am afraid of the dark and narrow places. I have claustrophobia, sometimes because of too much fear, I faint.
“I think someone locked us in here. I should call for help.” the man said.
“Please, don’t leave me alone…” I said.
“But we have to get out of here. I know you have claustrophobia but promise me. I’ll be right back.” He said.
“Don’t leave me.” I cried as I shiver because of fear. He hug me to relieve me from fear.
“Alright. I’ll stay with you. Don’t be afraid. I’ll never leave you.” He said.
“Don’t leave me… please.” I whisper in his ears as I hold his hand tightly. That time, I could feel that someone has take under my wings.
I wake up. Another dream? Where am I? my vision is still blurred but the place seems so unfamiliar until I realize that I am wearing a jacket. Huh? Whose jacket is this? I move my head and notice that a man is sleeping by my side. Only wearing a black torso and pants. He’s facing the opposite direction so I can’t see his face. My eyes turned wide as I remember what happened. Is that for real? I thought it was a dream? But I don’t remember how did I get this jacket in my body. Could it be? No, no way! I slowly open the zipper of the jacket and I am shock to know that I don’t have any shirt inside! Where’s my shirt? I looked around, the guy is still sleeping. I see my shirt right next to his hand. Oh no! is that true? I don’t remember a thing about that anyway. I was about to get my shirt when he moved. I see his face and he’s… KRIS WU?!
He slowly open up his eyes and I was in front of him. I’m frozen. I gulp as he fix himself and sit in front of me.
“Are you okay?” he asked. He’s slowly crawling towards my direction with his right hand ready to capture me. I slowly move backwards to go away from him.
“Don’t get near me!” I told him until I lose balance and I fell on the floor while he’s in top of me.he put his left hand in my forehead.
“Good thing you don’t have fever anymore.” He said. Fever? I got a fever? Last night? Just then I realize that I did not close the jacket I’m wearing. I look to my now open chest and Kris look on it too.
“Hey, don’t you dare!” I said then I push him which cause him to fall on the floor. I hurriedly close the jacket and I notice that he is in pain. I slowly crawl to him then he hold my hand. I am caught flat-footed. He grabbed me and my face is only an inch away from him. that time, it’s like I forgot how to breathe. I can feel his palm on my hands. He has a fever. I tried to get away from him but he grab me again and even hold my hand tighter.
“5 minutes.” He said. And we stayed in that position that all I could hear is my tensed heart and the blow of his breath in my right ear. A while later, he move. I get away from his embrace and check him. his fever is getting higher. So I decided to help him stand up and take him to his dorm. I know he’s too tall but I try my best to carry him. as we reached the entrance of the black dorm, I call the guard for help and they take him to his room. I sigh and walk alone to go to my dorm. I’m still wearing his jacket. Gosh! This is a horrible day!
Two days later, I didn’t see Kris Wu after that day. Maybe he’s gone sick and choose not to attend school, I don’t know but there’s a part of me that is looking on him, if he’s okay…
“Hey, today’s the stolen photo exhibit.” Kai catch my attention.
“Huh?” I said.
“Let’s go together okay? My best friend told me to come.”
“Uhh… okay.”
“Finally, you’ll have the chance to see and meet him. He’s one of the contestants for the event.”
“Oh, really? That’s great!”
“Yeah. And I wonder who is behind his exhibit. Because this past few weeks he didn’t tell me who’s in his exhibit, his unknown model. I hope it’s not me!” Kai joked, then we laugh.
“Hey you guys!” Baekhyun suddenly appeared.
“Hi!” I said.
“Hey, where’s your brother? I didn’t see him this past few days.” Kai said.
‘Oh, my brother? He’s in his room. He locked himself there. You know, he’s terribly sick and I hate it when he’s sick.” Baekhyun said.
“Oh, I see.” Kai said.
“Okay, I’d better get going, I need to handle the preparations for the event later, until my brother showed up. He’s the President of Arts club.” Baekhyun said. The he waved.
“Bye Yumae! See you later okay?” he shout. I smiled at him.
Exactly 2pm, after Kai and I eat, we go to the art gallery where the stolen photo exhibit is held. Lots of aspiring photographers have been gathered there and their works are still hidden beyond the white silk cloth.
“Alright, good afternoon to everyone. I’m the event organizer of the stolen photo exhibit. Later you will meet the President of Arts Club. He’ll be late for a minute because he undergone sick. For the meantime, the photos that will be presented here will be judged by the professional photographers in Seoul. The top 5 photographs will proceed to the bidding process and whoever who’ll win the best stolen photo will be rewarded. The photographer and to its unknown model will receive a prize.” Baekhyun is the emcee of the event, he talked well.
Thirty minutes later, Baekhyun announced the revealing of the photographers. And I am caught flat footed that I see myself in some of those stolen photos. Kai look at me then he smiled. I am clueless for who’s the person his made me his or her model.
“Let me remind all of you that all of the photographers here are taken by male photographers and all models should be female.” Baekhyun remind. My photograph compilation is number 7. Right now, I’m curious who is the owner of my stolen photos. The crowd is getting bigger. After 20 minutes, the photographer number 7 will now be revealed.
“Oh, I know that girl! She’s my friend! She’s over there!” Baekhyun said and points towards me and Kai’s direction. People look on me. O feel embarrassed regarding of my photos.
“Let me introduce to you the photographer of an angelic stolen photo…” Baekhyun said.
Who is he?
