Youngjo turns around and saw the familiar face of the girl that he had just started to get interest to. "Oh hey, Y/n." his glaring eyes suddenly changed into an amused stare as he looks at her from head to toe.

"Looking as gorgeous as always." his lips lifts into his famous charming smile of his which everyone would find more attractive of him but the girl across him could only care less.

Ignoring his comments about her, she glanced at Dongju worriedly before looking back at Youngjo with an expressionless face. "Leave him alone, Youngjo." she said, referring to Dongju. "Stop making anymore scenes." she added.

Youngjo raised a brow, wondering why would his crush spare a bit of her care to someone like the boy behind him. He knew that she was kind and all but of all people she could care of, she stands up for a petty creature like Dongju? He almost laughed sarcastically.

He stops himself from scoffing or rolling his eyes, he turns at Dongju and shot him a last glare. "Yeah, sure." he faces Y/n and smiled at her sweetly. "Your wish is my command, princess." he winked at her then he leaves the classroom, deciding to skip his morning classes again.

When he finally disappeared, Y/n sighed and approached Dongju who was still looking down at his feet. "Hey..." she calls out for him in a soft voice, "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" not sure of what to do, she places her hand on his shoulder and he flinched.

She noticed it and frowned, taking back her hand to her side. "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you." she observes the way his hands clutch on the straps of his worn out bag, his eyes not looking at anywhere but his shoes as if they're the most interesting thing in the world and his body shaking but everyone could barely notice it.

Everybody in the classroom fell silent, looking at Y/n weirdly as if she's doing something stupid and doesn't make sense at all. Keonhee watched them in curiosity, he's worried for his friend but something inside tells him to not interfere. "You don't look fine. Let me take you to the clinic." she grabs his hand which caught him in surprise.

As soon as they both left from the door, the students started to buzz into conversations again. "Did you guys see that? Why does she care for that trash?— and she even touched him. She better get her hands disinfected."

"Ugh, I couldn't even imagine myself touching something so filthy as him. Yuck." the student made a gagging sound and her friends laughed with her.

What's wrong with these people?, Keonhee silently thought after he heard them then let out a breath, debating to himself whether he should follow Y/n and Dongju to the clinic. Yet their chemistry teacher came in which gave him the answer no.

The teacher immediately started his lecture though he noticed a lot of empty chairs, clearly stating that they must have skipped his class but he didn't care since for him, he's only here to teach. Period.

•~•~•

Y/n opened the door of the clinic, peeking her head first to look if the nurse is around but she only found the room quiet without anyone else inside. Gently pulling Dongju inside with her before she shut it back close. She made him sit down on one of the beds and let go of his hand.

She drags a chair from the side of the room and sat across him. She takes in a breath then exhales, "Are you alright?" she asks him the same question as earlier. His lips parted as if he wanted to say something but then he closes them again, choosing to not say anything then he just nods his head.

His hands continued to fiddle with the hem of his oversized hoodie. Honestly, he's feeling anxious but also flustered. This is the very first time that he gotten a close contact with a girl like her and stood up for him when he was getting bullied so he doesn't know what to do.

Y/n looks down at his hands, legs and to his feet, suddenly remembering that he was limping when he was walking behind her. "Are your legs fine? Are they hurt or something?" he chewed on his lower lip, She noticed it too?

He hears her sigh again, "Look, I'm trying to help you. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?... Just tell me where are you hurt so I can help you treat them." she stands up and rummaged through the cabinets before walking back to him with a first aid kit on her hands.

"Don't be afraid," she tells him. "I'm a friend. We can be friends! Come on, Dongju. Say something..." his eyes widened and he his hands stopped fiddling.

She... knows me? S-she know my name...

He finally raises his head slowly and met her e/c eyes. "H-how... How d-did you know me?" he asks.

"Oh, I saw your profile on Ms Yoo's class profile." she smiles. "So, aren't you gonna tell me why you're limping?"

His hands started to fiddle with his hoodie again and lied, "I-i was just clumsy and f-fell off the stairs..." though he didn't want to lie, he had to. He didn't want anyone else than Keonhee to know about his family abusing him mostly because he just met Y/N and she's just a stranger to him.

Yet.

"Oh my. It must've really hurt so bad." she winced then spotted bruises and small cuts on his hands. "What happened to your hands?" she gasps, taking one of his hand on hers and observed it closely.

"I-i also g-got them from the fall!" he lets out a nervous laugh, looking down so she won't see his cheeks that had flushed pink.

"We should treat them then. Hold on." she opens the kit and took out a tube of ointment then carefully applied them on his cuts so it won't leave any scars on his skin.

"Poor you. You should be more careful." she tells him before focusing on what she's doing.

They became silent for a moment, only the sound of the electric fan blowing could be heard until Y/n asks him again."Does Youngjo always bully you?"

He looks at her and debated with himself to think for a while of what he's going to say. "No. He doesn't." she just nods her head though she wasn't convinced.

"I see."

Though she felt like he's not telling the truth, she chose not to say anything about it.

I hope, he's fine...
