A NamZy Univeristy AU where;
Bae Suzy is a university scholar who doesn't want to deal with boys; and..
Nam Joo Hyuk is the university's basketball ace player.
I decided to stay at the cemetery after the burial of my grandma. I am missing her already. She's one of the most important persons in my life. She was always there for me. She listened to my stories. She watched my important games. She took care of me when my parents had business trips when I was young. Basically, she's my second mom.
Seeing her suffer for months because of cancer was hard. It was painful for grandma and for us.
At least, she can rest now, a phrase that I keep on telling myself.
"So this is how it feels to lose someone you love." I mumbled.
"Till we meet again, Grandma. I love you." I bowed on her grave to give my respect.
I was about to leave when I heard a woman crying. I looked around to find where it is coming from until I saw a girl sitting on a grave not far from my grandmother's grave.
I can only see her back, but I'm sure that the sound came from her.
I walked slowly towards her, and her sobs are getting louder.
"I miss you so much! I am doing my best at school. I was the top student in our college. I am taking care of Mom, just how you told me. I wish you were here." She said between her sobs.
"I will never forgive Gab for what he did to you. Fvck him. If he didn't cheat on you, you will be fine. You could have enjoyed this life. But he cheated on you. You caught him making out with another girl and he never apologized. Fvck him."
"And our Dad... he left us for another woman too. How can he do that to Mom? To us?"
"Boys are the worst! They are all the same! They should rot in hell! Cheaters! Womanizers! I hate boys! I will never trust a guy! "
She is now shouting and I just can't let her hate all the boys around her, so I moved closer to her.
She buried her face on her knees and I can see that she's trembling.
I can't blame her if she hates her Dad and that Gab, but it's unfair to generalize us as cheaters. Loyal men like me, don't deserve this treatment.
"I didn't mean to hear everything, but here... use this. I haven't used it. It's clean." I reached for her hand and gave her a handerchief from my pocket.
She just held the handkerchief without looking at me.
I took a deep breath and sat beside her.

SUZY'S POV
I am still sobbing, I'm just holding this handkerchief that was given by this stranger who is now sitting beside me.
"I don't know you... but I want to tell you that... uhm... that not all men are cheaters. There are some who are loyal, there are some who won't hurt you and are worthy of your trust."
His comment made me look at him.
We were both surprised to see each other.
What the hell is he doing here? Of all people who would hear my life's greatest drama, why it has to be him?
"Su... Suzy?" That's all that he said.
I turned my head and wiped my face with the handkerchief that he handed me a while ago, before looking back at him.
I just looked at him... at his eyes. I can't find any word to say. Tears just started falling down my face.

JOOHYUK'S POV
Is this the reason why she's so distant with boys?
There's a reason why she hates boys.
Is this the reason that Ha Na is referring to?
She hates men because of her Dad and of that Gab. She thinks that men are all the same. What the fvck.
Now, she's just looking at me... and she's crying. My heart aches for her. Her eyes are full of pain and anger. I want to protect her. I want to make her happy.
I don't know what will happen next but I can't just look at her. I reached for her face and wiped the tears on her cheek with my thumb.
"I'm sorry if you have to feel this kind of pain because of men. But as I told you earlier, not all men are cheaters. There are still some, whom you can trust. You can trust me, Suzy. I will prove you that you can trust me. That I'm different!"
She let out a sad laugh before standing. Her knees are still trembling, so I stood immediately and held her arm to support her.
"Than... thank you. I'm going now."
I let her go, and she started walking. It looks like she'll fall anytime.
And she did. She lost balance and tripped.
I run towards her and helped her to stand.
"I can't let you go home alone at this state. Please let me drive you home." I offered.
"No thanks, I can go home alone." She said and started walking again.
I followed her, and held her on one arm.
"Please, Suzy. I'll just drive you home. You don't have to talk to me. You can sleep if you want. Just let me drive you."
She stared at me for a second before nodding.
Our whole ride was quiet. I used a navigation app to be able to find where she lives. I just let her sleep.
When the navigation prompted that we reached our destination, I pulled the car on the side of the street. Suzy is still sleeping, I tried to wake her up but she didn't wake up. I would carry her home if I know where she lives. But that's not the situation. I don't know her exact house so I just let her sleep.
I looked at her while sleeping.
She may look strong in the outside but this girl is so vulnerable. I want to change her idea about men. I want to protect her. I want to make her happy.
"Please let me..." I whispered and closed my eyes.
*A few hours later*
I didn't know that I fell asleep. Suzy is now gone. 😑
