JI AN

Her eyes blinked open as she sat up, her hands being latched unto the rope as droplets of water entered her system.

She looked around, seeing the monitor showcasing her heartbeat and the white bed sheet, why was she in the hospital she asked herself.

"You're awake!" A girl with sleek black hair, and model like features said.

"Who are you?" Ji an asked.

She smiled at her, and sat on the bed to face Ji an. Her red gown hugging her features which Ji an envied for a minute.

"Lee Rachel" the girl introduced, her red lips turning into a grin, as she continued " I went to see someone and I found you faint on the floor. Are you okay now?"

"Yes, Thank you" Ji an replied, bowing slightly.

"I've called your school, they are sending someone for you"

"Hyah!, So min. Why did you lie?, they found Ji an and she's in the hospital. Just hope she doesn't press charges" Ha na threatened at the top of her voice.

So min strolled towards Ha na, a smirk written over her face.

"And what will they hold me for, where's the evidence that I said she followed the second bus, where?"

Ha an sent her death glares before taking off to the hospital.

"Ji an!, are you okay?. Are you hurt anywhere" ha na rambled as Ji an shaked her head with a smile.

"I'm fine"

"I guess I'll be on my way since you're okay now" Rachel announced as Ji an nodded.

"Wae?" Ji an asked, seeing ha na stare at Rachel's retreating figure.

"Don't you know her?" Ha na asked as ji an shook her head, with pursed lips.

"She's Junseo's fiancée"

"What did you say" her eyes widened in shock.

Ha na continued "it was rumored that when they were in middle school both their parents had already planned for them to get married, representing both famous brands. So Rachel is back to resume high school with Junseo, and then get married before entering college"

Ji an slowly nodded, processing everything ha na had just explained even if it made no sense.

"So?" Ji an shrugged, munching the tteobeoki ha na got for her.

"Junseo kissed you by the bonfire last night right?, don't you two like each other?"

Ji an choked on her food hearing that, as ha na patted her back and she drank some water.

"He only did that to save my face, because of so min" ji an explained.

"Ahhhhh, but why you?"

******************************

"Adeullli, how was the trip?" Junseo's mom asked, as she hugged him.

"Omma!"

"Harraso harraso!" She chuckled as she stopped hugging him.

She smiled "Someone is here!"

"Who?---"

"Jun!!" Rachel yelled, hugging him as he shrugged her off.

"What are you doing here?"

"Way to welcome your fiance jun!" She pouted.

"I'm tired, I'm off to sleep" he spat, as she puffed watching him take long strides up the staircase.

His mother, Ms hwang gave her a large smile in return.

"So are you sleeping over?"

"No Hwang nim, I'll go home now. My parents are waiting" she smiled, as she bowed and left.

**†***†**********************

The thunder claps brought huge downpour of rain, the atmosphere almost too cold, as the wind blew angrily.

Junseo had an enternal battle, go find Ji an in case she didn't have an umbrella, or just feign ignorance.

"Annyeong!, Wae?" He stood up, sitting back on his bed again for the umpteenth time.

"What if she gets a cold?. Wait!, why should I care"

Moments later, he gave up and ran out the house with an umbrella and a torch.

He searched the gates but she wasn't there, he walked to the bus stop and saw her. And like everything was in slow motion, she looked beautiful even when she hugged her knees, her body protecting her tattered bag.

He smirked, walking to her with a scowl as he put the umbrella over her.

"Pabu!" He muttered.

She looked at him, a wave of relief washed over her as she stood up.

"Ow!" She groaned, trailing her hand over her legs.

"What did you expect when you folded your legs like that?!, aish!." He scolded, as she looked at him with a scowl.

"Get on!" He said, kneeling for her to get on his back.

"Annyeong, I'm fine" she assured him, as she failed again trying to stand.

He looked at her and she got on his back, an uncomfortable silence as he held the umbrella carrying her.

"Junseo shhi, Thank you and sorry" she barely muttered, as he could feel his heart beating fast at her body close to his.

He dropped her down, handing her the umbrella.

"Go yourself" he said, taking long strides away from her. As he gripped his beating heart.

"Annyeong!, I take it back! I'm not thankful or sorry" she yelled at his retreating figure with a scoff.

"I hate you junseo!!!. Ow, my legs hurt!"

"Let's go" Rachel said to the driver, after witnessing the whole scene.
