Him and I

The Boy...

We enter a long corridor that leads us to a garden in the back of the school. There are both green and pink trees everywhere. I thought Korea didn't have cherry blossom trees. There were so many different sorts of flowers. Pink roses,Lilacs and sunflowers. I look around before Jeong-Hoon starts walking towards a bench. He sits down and lays his hands on his thighs awkwardly. '' what is your name?'' I look up on him and then look down. ''Ah don't bother it's Hanako Y/N, What's yours?'' I feel as if my throat got heavy. ''By any chance...Are you Japanese? Oh and my name is Lee Jeong-Hoon'' I nod and slightly smile. He makes eye contact staring into my eyes before smiling back. ''I'm gonna go buy strawberry milk, do you want me to buy you one too?'' he asks. ''Yeah, I'd like to try some.'' He nods and leaves. I look around as I see many students either studying or eating. I spot a beautiful flower. I stand up and walk towards it. I bend over to look at it closer. Then a random girl voice is heard in my ears.''That's an Azalea, a very beautiful flower but hard to find.'' I fall on the ground with a slight scream. I turn around to see who it is but can't recognize the face. ''You startled me, who are you?'' It was a girl with thick long black hair. She gives me a hand and helps me get up. She apologizes and then grabs the flower for me. She then puts it behind my ear and smiles. I smile, grabbing a sunflower and putting it behind her ear too. She smiles friendly with a bright smile. I suddenly look behind her and see Jeong-Hoon approaching me. ''I'm so sorry it took so long but here is your m–'' He suddenly silenced and looked down on my pale skinny knees. First I thought he's looking at my skirt but he wasn't. I look down on my knees and see a wound.  ''Oh I must have scratched my knee when I fell, it's no big deal.'' He hands the milk to the girl and grabs my hand. ''I'm taking you to the nurse office'' " No there is no need, I'm okay. I don't feel any pain but a little stinging". He puts my arm around his shoulder to help me walk as if it was a serious injury. He walks me all the way to the nurse's office without a word. None of us barely say a word to each other. He knocks on the door and does not make any eye contact with me. The nurse opens the door as Jeong-Hoon bows. "Annyeonghaseyo miss Eun". She looks at me and smiles brightly. "A new face..I like them. Welcome! I am Eun A-young, your school nurse, she says as Jeong-Hoon puts me down on the bed and stands next to it. Miss Eun walks up to me and sits on the chair next to me. "She fell on the ground just now and hurt her knee". Miss Eun looks down on my knee and stands up to get some medical supplies. She opens the cabinet with the medkit and opens it. She takes out bandages, alcohol and paper pads. She pours some alcohol on the pads and pats it on my knee. She then opens a bandage and slightly puts it on my wound. "Does it still hurt?" Jeong-Hoon asks. I nod as Miss Eun helps me stand up. I bow and thank her politely. "Jeong-Hoon walk her to class please." Miss Eun says with a neutral voice. He smiles and nods as he picks me up and carries me to class. I without a word gasp quietly. "Which class do you have next?". It takes me some seconds before I realize that he asked me, which he only could because other students were already in class and we were alone..or not. We heard voices talking as they came closer to us. Then three girls showed up with beautiful long hair and a skinny small face. She stops and looks at me with an empty look. "Are you new?" asks the girl in the middle. I nod and pat Jeong-Hoon on the shoulder as a sign to put me down on the floor. He slightly puts me down as he looks at the girls with no word. "I'm Choi Mi-young and this is Nari Ahn-jong as she looks at the girl on the right. The girl on the left says "And I am Min Areum". I feel as the situation gets awkward and no one pits out even a single word until Jeong-Hoon saved the situation. "Okay, Y/N thinks it was very nice meeting you guys but i think we have to go now." He says. The girls can't even get their eyes off him.  He grabs my hand and leads me back to the main classroom.
