GUISE [ 양정원 ] yang jungwon ✓

29 - ☆: panic attacked.

After a day Yerim and Jungwon skip school, and tomorrow morning they go to school as usual. But Yerim still feels mad at how Jungwon doesn't apologize or feels guilty a bit towards her.

"What do I expect from him?.." muttered her while seeing Jungwon casually laughing with his friends.

"Yerim, why didn't you come yesterday? Does anything happen?" Minji just coming back to the class from meeting her friends. "I woke up late, that's why." Yerim faking her chuckled because the true reason behind it made her not in a good mood to start with.

Minji just nodded in understanding of her situation and continued to do her homework that would be due tomorrow. After a few minutes, the teacher comes in and everyone goes back to their seat, which is Jungwon too. Yerim rolled her eyes seeing Jungwon sit beside her, she's not even look at him out of frustration.

"I need everyone to listen, next month the school will make a hiking trip for 3 days and 2 nights."

Announced the teacher, everyone became excited as their already heard about it but now it's finally been confirmed. The teacher told them to be quiet as they got really excited over it.

"But! There are only a few students that will join from this class because we will take some from other classes and senior too." continue the teacher, now that some of Yerim's classmates whining because they might not get picked to join the hiking trip.

"I hope I'm not getting picked, I'm too lazy to pack my things."

Muttered Yerim while she didn't bother about those hiking trips at all. She throws a sight outside of the window to calm her mind, if only she could feel the quietness right now, that would be great for her.

"The name I mentioned is the one that will be joining this trip, so listen carefully." said the teacher again, he started to mention some of Yerim's classmates and they were happy about it when their names were mentioned.

"Yang Jungwon.. Park Minhyun.. Lee Minji.. and the last one, Moon Yerim."

Minji turned to Yerim as soon as she heard Yerim's name being mentioned as the last person coming from their class. "Yerim! we both together!" she whispered excitedly, Yerim that zoning out before coming to the senses while feeling confused.

"Me? Ah, that's great."

Yerim smiled to show she was also excited about it even though she wasn't. Yerim looked at her classmates, the ones who had not been picked turned sad, some of them begging the teacher to include them also.

Meanwhile, Yerim let out a sigh even though she'd been picked as the last person in the class to join because she just wanted to stay here and study like usual. Since she was aware of how bad her result was, it would be better if she just stayed.

•••

The rest hour started, but Yerim didn't feel like wanting to eat anything. Seeing how Jungwon didn't try a bit to approach her made her lose appetite. She thought he was already aware of how bad his attitude was before towards her, the way he played the guitar for her the other day was convincing enough for her that he wanted to create a good relationship with her.

But all those seems like she's the only one thinking like that. Yerim gets up to go outside of the class since she can't stay any longer in the class with Jungwon.

"Yerim, where are you going? You said you weren't hungry, right?" asked Minji to her because she thought Yerim going to buy some food.

"I'm going to meet Jay, it's boring in here."

Yerim takes a glance at Jungwon, she purposely raises her voice a bit especially when she mentions Jay's name, but she's not actually going to see him at all, she just wants to go to the restroom.

"Woah, good luck with that~"

Yerim already expected Minji would tease her but she had to do that to pull Jungwon's attention. Yerim walked away from her class and decided to take a look around her school, there were still parts of the school that she had not come to.

As she kept walking she didn't realize that she was going too far which was the abandoned part of the school, suddenly she heard the voice of someone groaning and crying near there. Yerim slowly took a look and saw that someone was being bullied by some of the bad students.

A flashback of herself also was in that person position that got bullied come to her mind. All this time she's trying so hard to forget about all that and swallowed a lot of medicines until she slowly forgets about it by the medication's effects but the bad memories come back as she witnesses the same situation in front of her.

Her whole body shakes as her legs can't stand properly, she forces herself to run away from there before they see her. She has no idea where she goes but as long as she's far from them she will keep running until she feels safe.

Yerim stopped when she was already far from there, she couldn't breathe properly at the moment and her hand shakingly opened up the upper button of her uniform shirt harshly as she couldn't catch enough oxygen to her lungs.

Suddenly someone opened the door harshly make Yerim shocked as she sat down and covered both of her ears with her hands, she hugged herself in fear because her mind was thinking the bully saw her, and afraid that she'd be a victim again.

"Yerim! What happened to you?"

Turn out that person is Jungwon, he actually saw Yerim running toward the rooftop, he's trying to stop her by calling her name but she didn't hear him and that's why he followed her all the way there.

"Please, stay away from me.." Yerim repeatedly said the same sentences in fear causing him to worry if anything happened to her.

"Moon Yerim, calm down, please. It's me Jungwon!"

He tries to make Yerim look at him to calm her down. When Yerim was able to calm herself a bit, she put down her hand from covering her ears and looked straight into Jungwon kneeling in front of her.

"Why are you here?"

Asked Yerim while her tears filled in her eyes. Jungwon slowly reaches both of her hands and holds them in with his hands, it's like he sharing the warmth from his hand as her hand is still a bit shaky.

"To calm you down," answered him with a calm voice while his fingers reached her cheek to wipe the tears flowing down from her eyes.

Yerim just let Jungwon do that to her as she also didn't know why she just let this man do anything to her, his eyes that looked straight into her were already calming enough like an ocean that was as blue as her favorite color. While his hand feels like the wind of the beach that she feels really comfortable with his touch.

Jungwon gets up to bring Yerim along as the rest hour is about to end but then she grabs his hand and hugs him, his eyes widen by her sudden move as he can feel how tight she hugs him until he can feel her breath touch his skin.

"Thank you so much for calming me down," said her in a lower voice but still could be heard by him.
