“Oppa…. Lets play outside.” Soyou grabbed Byunghun’s hand.
“I don’t want to….” He replied. He was in his bed under the blanket.
“Oppaaa….. jeball……. I am bored.”
“Play with your sisters. Don’t disturb me.”
“Oppa……..” She still insisted.
He pushed his little sister away and she fell. “WHY DON’T YOU GET IT!!!!!!” He yelled in anger.
She started crying. Byunghun’s noona entered the room after hearing her dongsaeng crying.
“Byunghun…. What happened here???” She asked angrily.
Byunghun got out of the bed. “I am sorry…. I am really sorry….. Soyou….”
“I am not gonna talk to you anymore…. I won’t play either.” She rubbed her crying eyes and his noona took her out of the room.
“What am I doing?? I can’t lose my patience.” Byunghun muttered.
Kevin drove Noah to her apartment. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the car while pulling her forward. She was just being pulled without showing any resistance. He unlocked the door and pushed her inside the apartment.
“STOP BOTHERING ME…..” She yelled after balancing herself.
“You should have told that to me earlier……. Really early.” He murmured. “I’ll keep on bothering…. Unless you-------“ He didn’t say any further and left.
She went to her bedroom. She was feeling much tired. “How am I gonna deal with him everyday!!! I miss you Byunghun….. I don’t feel safe now……” She kept on crying and thinking of what to do now.
NEXT DAY
Noah was sleeping in her bed. It was 7:30 am when her alarm tone started. She turned it off with half opened eyes. She didnt want to get out of the bed and bumped into a thing when she turned to the other side on the bed. She let out a faint shriek and got up of the bed with a jerk. She stood really far away from her bed. She was panting with bulged out eyes. She exhaled out as she saw Kevin on her bed.
“He’s eccentric.” She whispered and combed back her open hair backwards. Kevin was looking like a baby while sleeping. She went out of the room to the kitchen.
“What should I do with him????” She placed her hand on her forehead.
“Kawai~” Kevin peeped from the door.
She turned back and glared at him.
“Whatcha doing???” He opened the refrigerator and took out the water bottle. Noah reached him within a second like a flash and took away the bottle.
“I think you’ve forgotten something. You cant use my things.”
“Wae????” He asked and pouted.
“You know why!….. do you want to become ill like me….???” She glared again.
He snatched the bottle and drank half of it.
“Why are you doing this????” She asked.
“Cuz…. I don’t care.”
“OK. FINE….” She clenched her teeth and then went near the stove to make her breakfast.
“So….” He went to her. “What are you making for me?”
“Its just for me.”
“Kawai~ I cant cook… please….”
“Urgh… stop whining…. Don’t irritate me and get lost. What kind of parents you have….. they are completely alright that you aren’t at home.”
“Uhh… my dad and hyung know how I am…. I mean they do the same.”
Noah turned around and stared at him with amazement.
“What are you looking at ???? So …. Its more than two months since you moved here…. But that ahjumma who had cancer is completely alright…. How come?” He smirked.
“I know she lied about her condition just to enter my apartment.”
“She’s a nice lady so don’t misunderstand her.”
“I know that better than you.”
“So you still like cherries?”
“I love ‘em. And you still love chocolate?”
“Yup… how can I not? I am waiting for my breakfast on the table. Make it fast”
“Its useless to argue with you.”
“AWwww…. That’s like my girl.”
She rolled her eyes.
After the breakfast, they went out for the university.
“So you walk to the campus?”He asked.
“I have no other option. And you can go now.”
“No… I’ll go with you. The world needs to know that you’re my girl now.” He smelled the fresh air.
“You’re mad.”
“Thank you.” He smiled. “You know what …. I am not a bad guy…. Really.” His words seemed so true and depicted pain.
“Is there something you have to endure?” Noah asked after observing his sad tone.
He smirked at her but didn’t say anything.
“So guys like him have some problems as well.” She thought.
“Huh…. I have to endure you just for my friend… and besides I have no other option cuz you’re the only girl I can be with, since we share the same illness.” He thought while looking at her.
They reached the university and attended the class. Noah managed to escape both Byunghun’s and Kevin’s hawk eyes and sat on a bench. She checked the many messages and calls from Byunghun.
“I am so sorry…. I am sorry but I am doing this for you….” Her eyes were teary.
“Hi Noah…. Can we talk?” Bomi appeared and sat with her.
Noah nodded faintly and removed the tears from her eyes. “Do I look pitiful?” Noah asked.
“OMG… you think of me as a friend?” She asked.
“You’re a nice girl…. And I don’t have any friend, so I asked you?”Noah stated.
“Why would a lucky girl like you be pitiful? You got to be with Kevin…. My heart beat…." Bomi smiled helplessly and murmured.
“You like him that much?” Noah asked.
“I love him Noah… I envy you …. I mean you don’t even want it and get it…”
“I …… I want Byunghun…” She bit her lip.
“You and Byunghun can be together, right? Noah…. I wanted to ask you something.”
“Ye?”
“Why is Kevin cutting off his relations??? I mean he doesn’t meet any of his friends and don’t date any girl….. He has completely changed. He’s become so much less social. He used to have a large community of people around him but now-a-days he has become such a loner.”
Noah just stared at her. “How can I know?”
“I thought you would know since… he likes you …. I think he really likes you.”
“Huh… I don’t believe that liar.”
Bomi smiled faintly. “Noah…. Can we exchange contacts?” She smiled.
Noah smiled back. “Sure and thanks….”
5:40pm
“Kevin????” Bomi called him. He was walking on the street leading to his home.
“Bomi….” He turned back and smiled.
“How are you doing these days?” She asked. “Can I take a walk with you?”
“Hm…. And I am fine.”
“How is going with Noah?? I mean does she like you back?”
“Does it matter???? The only thing that matters is I want her.” He raised his brows and stared at her.
“So you won’t ever come back to me?” She asked while grabbing his cuff.
Byunghun was on his way to Noah’s apartment when he saw Kevin and Bomi. His blood boiled and rage raised in level. He couldn’t watch Kevin as it made him want to kill him. He took swift steps towards them and pushed Bomi away from Kevin.
“You ******* ……. How dare you?????? HOW ??????? How can you do this to me?????? TELL ME!!!!!!!” Byunghun grabbed his collar and yelled. Kevin didn’t reply and just remained quiet with a poker face. The ‘no response’ thing made him even more angry and he punched him in the face and repeated many times as e could.
“Byunghun stop it …. Please…… he isn’t at fault.” Bomi tried to stop him but he again pushed him away.
“I’ll kill you today Kevin!!!” He kicked and then pushed him as he fell on the ground and smiled.
Noah untied her hair and was just about to undress in order to take a bath, when her cell rang.
“Yoboseo?” Noah greeted happily.
“Noah…. You have to come here or else Byunghun will really kill Kevin….. please.” Bomi said.
Noah startled. Bomi told her the place and Noah without a second thought wore her slippers and ran outside.
“Stop it….” Noah came to the scene.
Byunghun’s hand just stopped and was in the air. He turned his head back to confirm if its Noah. Noah noticed that he was wearing the coat, she gave him in present. She smiled unconsciously while looking at it.
“I’ll have a talk with you later. First let me finish an important task I should have done a long time ago.” Byunghun said and pointed his fist towards Kevin’s injured and bleeding face.
“Make him stop Noah!!” Bomi yelled.
Noah ran and pulled Kevin on her side while making him stand behind her. “Don’t hurt him. Its not his fault.”
“Then? Whose fault is it?? Yours???” He questioned.
“I can’t wait for you. And I like him-------more—than you…so don’t hurt him.” She said and looked away.
“Oh really!!!!!” He glared at her with red teary eyes. “Noah you made me suffer for nothing…Here…” He took off the coat and threw it in her face. “Enjoy your freedom. I wont bother you.” He waved and left.
Bomi called the ambulance meanwhile. “Noah…. Why did you lie???” Bomi asked while being shocked.
Noah grabbed the coat in both her hands and her eyes released tears. “I am sorry……” She kept on weeping and Bomi couldn’t understand the reason behind her lie. Kevin smirked at her while the ambulance took him away.
Notes
I am not dragging the story or may be i am doing so.... but the story needs to be well presented and thus i need to end it appropriately so no rushhh..... :)
@Dami tyler
the last time I replied, i answered without thinking about it, now that i think it might look weird that i ended them up together but here are a few reasons
Spoilers Alert
he was punished for all his wrong deeds that i've mentioned. like getting ill as well and being beaten up right after he... u know...
and then after he got immune, he still wanted to be with her...
so, she forgave him and thats how life is.
he learnt his lesson and besides she had no one in her life but him..
