LOVE LANGUAGE: EN- BOOK 1: SUNGHOON (OLD)

A

Sunghoon POV

"Why are you here?" I smile weakly at her. "I thought something was wrong and I was right. What happened to you?" She puts a damp towel on my forehead. "I went out for chicken last night and..." I try not to show the impact of the flashbacks behind my eyes "I... almost got attacked by a thug" I lie.

Hyunjoo is her friend, she doesn't treat Angel the way she treats you. Hyunjoo won't hurt Angel because this has nothing to do with her.

"Who is it?"  She asks. "I don't know. It was to dark to see" she pouts and hugs me. "Are you crying?" I ask her and she hits my shoulders. "No, I hit my eye on your shoulder" she sniffs "I'll be taking care of you, okay?" She lets me go and starts to lean toward my face.

"Please stop! Please!"
"I don't want to kiss you"

I jerk my head back, kind of scared. "Are you okay?" I nod, trying to diffuse the awkwardness but fail miserably. "Aunty said she'll be back earlier today" I nod.

I feel bad that I acted like this.

She smiles at me "I'll make breakfast, freshen up. Okay?" She walks out of the room and hide myself under my covers.

Hyunjoo is a nightmare.

After a while I get up and shower to get all the nastiness of yesterday off me.  I wash up several times until satisfied. Angel knocks on my door and I come out, she puts her hand out for me to grab and I take it slowly. "Come on"

~~~~~

"Oppa?" I look at her "are you sure that you're okay?" "Yeah, I'm better now" I ruffle her hair. "Can I hug you?" She asks and I hug her. "Why do you ask?" "You seemed scared earlier when I tried to kiss you. It's okay to be scared, what happened to you was very traumatic" she says into my chest.

I was sexually harassed by Hyunjoo last night. But that's Angel's friend, I don't want her to worry about me. No one would believe me anyway, I'm a guy. I'll be fine.

"Thanks, Angel. Thanks for coming to me" I hug her tighter.

With Sanbin

He was on the phone with his girlfriend. "I really like your friends, they're cool"  she says. "I'm glad you guys get along" "Me and Sunghoon used to skate together" Sanbin sighs.

They used to know each other that's why she kept looking at him last night. She must've recognized him.

"Did you recognize him last night?" He asked hopefully. "No, I recognized him before. This girl I know has a crush on him" she says and he nods.

So she doesn't have a crush on him. Good.

"How did you like my friends?" She ask him. "They're also cool. They're funny too" he says. "I want to hang out with your friends again" she says randomly. "Oh. I can ask Sunghoon hyung if he's available sometime. Haime is always free" Sanbin texts Sunghoon.

"It'll be my treat since he treated last time" she smiles. "Hyung is sick but he said we can try tomorrow" Sanbin puts on shoes "I'm gonna go check on him, I'll talk to you later" she waves and hangs up.

Angel POV

The door bell rings. "Must be Aunty" I go answer the door and find a boy behind it. When he sees me he gasps. "Hi" I wave at him. "Hi mom"- Oppa stops mid sentence. "Sanbin! What are you doing here?!" Sanbin oppa's eyes widen and he points to me. "Who is this?!" He turns to me "Are you the Ice Princess?" I laugh and nod.

"Im Angel, nice to meet you Sanbin oppa" His mouth open and closes in several attempts to speak. "I just came to check on you- but if you're busy then"- I shake my head. "It's not like that, oppa" I tell him "I'm just taking care of him till he's better then I have to go back to Florida" Sunghoon oppa clears his throat.

"I am sick, you saw. Please go" he says. "That's so nice of you to come check on him, oppa" He nods and Sunghoon oppa mutters something. "Did you say something, oppa?" I ask him and he coughs.

"I'm very tired, Sanbin. Come back another time" he says taking me to his room, leaving Sanbin oppa. "Why did you kick him out, oppa?" I ask him. "I don't want him distracting you from taking care of me" he says and I push him. "Oppa? Oppa?"

Sunghoon POV

"Stop! Please stop!"

I gasp for air. "Oppa? Oppa?" Angel calls me. "I need air" I rush out of my room and go to my patio.

Don't cry your fine! Keep the peace. Think peaceful thoughts. Breathe slowly. In. Out. In. Out.

"You can do this, Sunghoon" I tell myself "just stay away from her" I continue my breathing. I walk back in the house. "You're not okay, oppa" Angel says "You're suppressing panic attacks" She comes closer to me "you're sweating again. Tell me what actually happened?"

My eyes start glossing again. "Hey, hey. It's okay. Say it slowly" she rubs my back. "I-I was harassed last night on my way home" I cry and she hugs me. "I wish you knew who it was, oppa" she says tearfully. "It's okay. We can get through this. You'll be okay. I'll be careful. Where did they touch you?" She ask me as I show her where I was touched.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" I shrug my shoulders.

I didn't want you to worry about me. You were so happy.

"We have to tell Aunty" I shake my head. "She has to know, okay? I'll be with you when you tell her" she wipes my face.

Why do terrible things keep happening to us? To me? I just want to be happy again.

"Thank you, Angel" I kiss her forehead.
