Love Math

They reached the hall where the exhibition was. It was 8:45pm. Yura got out of the car. Taekwoon also got out and came near Yura. He took a look at her dress. Yura noticed.
"Wae??? Do i look horrible??? It was the only dress i had.... My fashion sense is absolutely fine." Yura started to make excuses about her dress.
Taekwoon put his hands in his pocket. He was wearing black suit. He looked around."You look fine. Lets go inside. Hongbin will be waiting." He went towards the entrance and Yura followed him like an obidient follower should. He looked back at her. She was looking down
"Show some confidence. Nobody will eat you." He whispered in her ears.
She looked at him ."Umm" she nodded.
Hongbin was the centre of attention.
"He looks busy." Yura said while tensing her face.
"He would take out time for you." Taekwon replied while looking at the paintings and disapproving each of them.
"Wae ???? "
"Because........" he stopped and looked into her eyes. "may be because he considers you a dongsaeng."
"Jinja???" She was amazed. She went towards the paintings without Taekwoon. She approved every painting. Taekwoon couldnt take his eyes off her.
"Yura-ahhhh......." Hongbin called her.
"Hongbin-si... annyaseo." She bowed. "Your work is excellent. You didnt invite your gf???"
"Ahhhaaa that ... ummm.... she doesnt like to see me become the spot light. so she never attends any of my exhibition." Hongbin replied while blushing. " Is that Leo treating you well???"
"Leo.......???"
"Ah Taekwoon Taekwoon....."
"Yeah.... he is very nice."
"That's great. If you'll excuse me .... Yura ?"Hongbin smiled.
"Ah yes ." She smiled back and he went to other audience. She glanced at Taekwoon who was still looking at her from a distance. She went to him.
"Am i for exhibition as well?" Yura asked " hannnn???? Why dont you try admiring the paintings instead of making me insecure of my dress and looks!!" She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the paintings.
"tell me which one you like??? i'll paint the same for you....." Yura offered.
Taekwoon looked at her with surprised look.
"I am not lying. Come on choose one...." She told him and pushed him . After long survey.... he finally decided the painting. It was an abstract and the one Yura disliked because of its pattern.
"You really like this ????" She asked as if she was disgusted.
"Yes..... just this one." He replied while constantly looking at the painting.
"ok then lets take a picture with this painting." Yura asked Taekwoon and requested him to stand near the painting.
"Yeah yeah thats right." She corrected his posture and took a pic with her cell phone. She showed it to Taekwoon.
"Do you like it???" She asked while looking at him.
"I want to take a selfie...... with you." Taekwoon muttered.
"Han ??? oh ok with the painting as the background???"
"yes."
"ok" she took out her cell phone.
"Yura let me take this one." He took out his own cell phone." Stand closer."
Yura looked at him."Smile."
Taekwoon looked back at her. Their eyes met but none of them looked away, as if both of them wanted their request to be fulfilled.
"Ok" Taekwoon accepted.

She looked at the time on her cell phone. "10:30....omoooooooooo ...... lets hurry.... i need to reach hostel before 11."
"ok lets go." he replied. Both of them went out and Taekwoon drove her to hostel. Without saying anything she got off the car and ran. Taekwoon stared at her until she disappeared. He started driving the car again. His mind was filled with her thoughts."why cant i lose sight of her. may be i am acting like a protective appa...... or something like that.....well she is my responsibility since i am her gyosonim......" He thought.
Taekwoon was thinking about the various expression she made through out their survey.
"She thinks she is cute." He smiled. Suddenly a car came from behind and bumped into his car.
Next day 10:21am
"Yura.... why is Taekwoon gyosonim absent today???" A boy from her class asked.
"ahh.... that means he wont take the classs...... ohhh wahhhhh...." She didnt reply to the boy and moved forward. the boy shrugged.
"may be he became tired or something." she thought. Her phone started ringing.
"Annyonghaseyo Hongbin-shi whats the matter?" She answered the call."omo..... ohhh yes yes i'll be there in 30 minutes."
Hangak Hospital 11:13AM
Yura went to the reception. "Annyaseo....i need to know Jung Taek woon's room?"
"ummmmm 105"
"Gomawo gomawo...." She bowed and hurried towards the room.
Somebody knocked at the door. Taekwoon didnt reply. Yura opened the door.
"Ahhh ......." She sighed. Taekwoon was lying on a white hospital bed near a window. His eyes were stuck towards the window.
"Taekwoon-shi......." She called him. He moved his eyes towards Yura who was standing near the door. She came closer to his bed.
"Why are you here?" Taekwoon asked in a low voice. His head and right arm were bandaged.
"Hongbin-nim told me about your accident. He said he had an important summit to attend ... so i should go and look after you until he comes to the hospital.
"that bastard...." he whispered while looking outside the window but Yura heard it.
"He is a very nice guy. I envy you for having such an awesome and caring friend." Yura said and smiled." I didnt buy anything for you since i was in a hurry, but tell me when you need something."
"Dont just stand and take a seat." Taekwoon ordered her. She took a seat on the nearby sofa.
"Gyosonim ? when will you be discharged?"
"Tommorrow." He replied in a rough voice.
"Why didnt your parents came to visit you? Are they in Seoul?"
"They are dead." He again replied in a rough voice. His eyes were away from Yura. Yura didnt say anything after that. She took out her cell phone and started playing a game.
"Dont waste your time..... are you skipping classes for me??" Taekwoon asked in an impolite manner.
"no" She replied while her eyes were glued to the game.After 30 minutes Yura got up of the sofa and went towards her Gyosonim's bed who was sleeping in a straight posture.
"Why are you ignoring me?" She asked in a rude style. Taekwoon opened his eyes and slightly got up. His back was in a horizontal position.
"Sit here." He pointed towards his bed and moved slightly away to make space for her. She hesitatingly sat on his bed with here shoes touching the floor. He grabbed her arms with both of his hands." I got hit while thinking of you......."
Yura was unable to reply to such an awkward statement so she remained quite and looked away from Taekwoon.
"What were you thinking???" She asked with irritated voice.
"I am lonely" He replied. Yura looked back into his eyes with a confuse but sad expression, while his hands were still grabbing her upper arms. Yura noticed a deep sorrow in his eyes. He gradually inclined towards her, loosened his grip on her arms, proceeded his hands towards her waist and hugged her. His hold over her tightened with time. She was completely covered with his back except for her head and eyes. Despite the pain in his right arm, his capture was hard to escape. Yura's hands were motionless, so was she. She didnt know how to respond in this kind of situation.
"Yura...." he called her in a deep voice."can i ....................."
