New Love • Yeonjun FF

5. Comforting

Yeonjun's POV

I then go back to class. As it was Mrs. Kwon's class, I practically ran a marathon to the class.

I sat down in my seat. Phew. Thank god the teacher isn't here.

Most people didn't seem to be in class. I mean, who enjoys Mrs. Kwon's class? I also notice that Starie wasn't there in class.

Weird. She never skips classes.

Then I got reminded of that situation with Reji.

Yeah, right. She must have felt so uncomfortable...

Mrs. Kwon finally came after 20 minutes. She looked around and asked me, "Yeonjun, where is Starie?".

"Oh, she had told me that she was going to take something from the locker but she is not back yet", I say with a 'genuine' voice.

"Alright then. Children, open your math text books! Page number 394". (Ifykyk)

"POTTAH", some random dude yelled.

Mrs. Kwon rolled her eyes and began with the lesson.

In ten minutes, the bell rang. Mrs. Kwon groaned and look very disappointed.

But the students looked so blissful. I mean, I'm not complaining.

We had four more classes. Everyone was so sleepy, including me.

The final bell rang at last! Everyone packed their bags and rushed out of the class.

While I was leaving the class, I saw Starie's bag on her desk. I grab her bag and then notice STOOPID that I had wrote on the desk. I let out a little chuckle.

I decided to give Starie her bag back. I exit the class.

I searched almost the whole school building but I found her nowhere. So, I decided to look for her outside.

When I exited the building, I heard sobbing towards my left. When I turn around, I see Starie. Holding her knees and sobbing hard.

My heart melted at the sight of her crying. I approach her slowly and calmly.

"Hey", I say as I tapped on Starie's shoulders. She flinched and looked at me immediately. Her eyes were red and puffed up due to the crying.

She wiped her tears hurriedly and tried to get up. I pushed her back to sit down and I sat next to her.

"W-what?", she asked me calmly. Her throat was dry, which said that she had been crying for a long time.

"Can I not comfort my friend?", I asked her.

Starie's POV

"Now Starie, what is wrong? Tell me", Yeonjun said as he held my hand and caresses it in a comforting way.

This time, I did not push him away. I didn't feel to push his soft and comforting hands away. I suddenly felt hot tears streaming over my cheeks.

"Hey hey", Yeonjun exclaimed as he wiped my tears.

"I don't like cry baby Starie. Where is Miss Stoopid who is a wonderful actress? Huh?", Yeonjun said trying to cheer me up.

I once again, started sobbing hard. I didn't want Yeonjun to see me like this, crying uglily. My immediate instinct was to hug him so he can't see my sobbing uglily.

Yeonjun's POV

I froze at Starie's hug. She buried her face into my chest, sobbing.

Ba dump ba dump my heart went. My cheeks burnt

Starie's tears made my shirt wet. I patted her back soothingly.

"Now, tell me what's wrong?", I ask her with a low voice.

"R-reji", she stuttered, her voice sounded like she was scared.

"What about her? Did that problem in the locker room scare you?", I ask.

She nodded and said, "Reji was my bully in middle school. She made me look like an outcast in others eyes just because I told on her for cheating my test". Starie sniffled.

I can't believe Reji, how many more people will she bully. Ugh!

"You want to know something?", I ask her as I wrap my arms around her warmly.

"Hm?", she questions me. Her voice is very feeble.

"Reji bullied me in my old school you know? Just because I didn't want to date her", I say and look down at Starie.

"What? I guess Reji was born to be a bully..", Starie mumbles as she looks up at me.

"Hm..", I hum.

Starie and I stare into eachother's eyes. I get mesmerized by her beautiful eyes. They were hazel brown in colour.

My eyes slowly travel to her lips. Her lips looked so soft and so kissab- NO NO NO NO NO! I turn away from Starie.

Starie suddenly pulls away from the hug. I don't know why but I yearned for her hug. I wanted her to hug me back. But why? I myself don't have any idea about this.

I turn at her and see that her cheeks and the tip of her ears are hot pink. I felt my cheeks burn too.

Well, it's common for everyone to act like this in this kind of situation. Right?

"Thanks a lot", Starie says feebly.

"F-for what?", I ask Starie, stuttering. Why in the world do my cheeks feel like they are burning?

"Um, for you know, saving from Reji and for comforting me just now", Starie says and looks down. She fiddles with her fingers and the hem of her skirt.

"N-no problem Starie", I say stuttering. Why am I continuously stuttering?

"Oh, and your bag", I say as I lend Starie her bag, "Here you go".

"Thank you so much", she says as she smiles sweetly. Once again my heart goes ba dump ba dump. "Stop", I mumble to myself as I hold my heart trying to stop it somehow but it kept beating so fast.

"You said something?", Starie asks me.

"Uh.. Um.. It's nothing", I reply back.

"Oh ok. Alright", Starie says and takes her phone out to check the time.

She looks at the time and she widens her as she gasps loudly.

"What's up? Anything bad?", I ask her.

Starie whines before saying "I missed my bus! Shit! My mom will kill me if I don't reach by 7 pm and it's 5:30 pm already! Ugh!", she says.

I look at my motorbike and ask her, "Shall I drop you with my bike". I wiggle my bike keys in front of her eyes.
