If U Hate Me I'll Love U | Jeongcheol

51. Just a normal "Contest"

I'm so worried, what has gone wrong. He was alright around us seconds ago and suddenly his name gets mentioned by a teacher in the speaker? I'm so fucking worried about you, stop being such a white hearted that causes you problems. Where did you go, please come back.

The sun has already set long ago as the students are still spread everywhere. It's not cold to make us freeze, the thing is the thoughts and worries which makes us feel sweating cold. We wish he'll show up at any time.

The teachers were calm and collected but it's us who got the shit, he's our friend. We only get to get a flashlight to help us see in the middle of the night. For the first time in my life I feel afraid being outside at night even though I have someone with me. It's not because of being a coward but because the one in there is a dear one to me. I didn't show it out, I don't want to show it out either but my feelings are unconsciously getting leaked out in ways I don't want to explain.

Something that shocked me more is that teacher Hong was all good and quiet, doesn't he mean anything to him? That somehow irritated me.

"What's going on in your mind" The person beside me asked in a very low tone. The flashlight in his hand was turned at me on my chest to see myself clearly. I didn't stop and continued walking and shouting after the boy. The wind was blowing coldly at us making our bodies shiver although the weather is moderate.

On our way we've found a lot of old notes everywhere but didn't bother to read any of them. "No it's just that we've been searching for like,,, half an hour, but there's no sign where he has vanished"

"Stop manipulating, I know you're worried about him. I promise we'll find him, he's gonna be alright until we find him" The older stroked my hair to comfort but I quickly refused him and walked in front as he turned the light at me.

"As if he's my girlfriend, I just want to go back and sleep, it's already after 9"

"Jeonghan be careful there's a lot of stones in front of you" The raven haired boy warned as he tried to keep up with my pace.

I felt them, even though I can't see properly, I feel them underneath. I took a chance to look back. Seungcheol was struggling to keep his eye on his steps, to keep the light on me and to walk carefully in darkness. I waited a little bit for him then went searching for Seokmin, "Min! You here? Can you hear me!"

Both of us started yelling his name as we also heard other voices a little far away from our place. I jumped off the stone I was standing on and picked a small paper on a tree. "Be careful the position of this stone is deceitful" I opened the letter and tried to read what's written on it. It was dark and the person who's holding the light was unstable so I was able to understand only 2 words.

While I was trying to read the paper someone groaned all of a sudden. In a hurry, I turned to Seungcheol's way and saw him sitting on the ground with the flashlight thrown beside him. I threw the thing in my hands and ran to him, he was massaging his ankle lightly.

"I told you to be careful while jumping!" As much as I can I tried not to blame him. A few sighs escaped my mouth as I picked the flashlight to check on him. There was nothing wrong but he groaned in pain. I patted the dirt from his clothes and attempted to stand up together with him. As soon as his foot touched the ground he slipped from my hands to the ground in soreness.

I panicked and crouched down to the boy "Hey what's wrong"

He gripped tightly on one of my arms that were on his shoulders "Just- a twisted ankle" Someway, my heart told me not to believe that. Seungcheol supported himself by leaning on me "I can walk by myself"

I raised an eyebrow at him and quickly let go of his hands intentionally. In the blink of an eye he was sitting on the ground again. I crossed my arms and flicked his forehead "Let me check" Seungcheol took the light weakly from my hand. "Is it here?" Seungcheol nodded, I asked again pressing another place on his leg and he nodded again. Wherever I touch he gets ached.
