Strange Hearts || Heeseung

15

"Actually, it should be".

"So it wasn't?" Yuju asked excitedly and jumped around Heeseung. She was so excited, she probably wouldn't get kicked out of her school.

"If you tell me what the hell is wrong with you, I won't publish it," Heeseung said and brushed down to her.

Yuju stopped rejoicing and focused on her heart again. It was still not right and the last thing she wanted to do would be to fall over. It still hurt, the pain getting worse day by day.

"Yuju?"

When Heeseung spoke her name, the pain became less; she quickly grasped his arm to keep her balance. She did the one breathing exercise she was taught when she couldn't breathe.

Heeseung sat down in front of Yuju and looked into her eyes. It was so unfair to Yuju, Heeseung was so big that they were on eye level even when he was squatting in front of her.

Yuju just liked the way Heeseung looked at her. When the two were alone in a difficult situation, he always looked at them with such a look that gave her warmth and comfort. In what moments did she forget his playbos; she breathed deeply and exhaled:

"I have a sick heart"

After this sentence she closed her eyes and waited for the moment when he would start to bully her and then the whole school would join in later. A weak girl with a weak heart is the perfect victim.

"W-how do you mean that?" stammered Heeseung and looked at Yuju's right hand, which lay on her heart. Yuju swallowed because she didn't expect this answer.

"Since I lived I have a sick heart, it is getting weaker day by day, which leads to attacks when I am overloaded. I'm not allowed to do sports because it's too dangerous, which is why I fell on Friday. Besides, I should have been dead for 2 years now, but strangely enough it won't happen because my stupid heart keeps beating..."

"Your heart is not stupid," said Heeseung sternly, putting his hand on Yujus by her heart. At her touch, Yuju's heart began to beat faster, but it didn't hurt. For a moment, Yuju tried to figure out why it didn't hurt but without success.

"It's special that makes you special," he said, and a smile formed on his lips. That's the last thing she would expect from him.

He stood up and was again half a mounteverist taller than her; his hand was no longer on hers either, which made her sad. He smiled at her with a smile that Yuju had never seen, she could stare at him for hours.

"Is there anyone here?"

Suddenly they heard a teacher's voice from a room of new construction. Stressed Yuju wanted to look at Heeseung, but he had already taken her hand and dragged her behind him.

-------------------

"I'm going to copy sheets," said the teacher and left the classroom. The girls began to laugh because of what the boys did, while they were fooling around.

Yuju sighed and took out a book from her backpack, which was a kind of diary, but not as cheesy as the original. She writes something there from time to time, such as how boring her life is and that she wonders when her heart stops beating completely.

She went through her hair and thought about what to write. Then let her know that there are some things she really wants to do before she dies...

And so 10 completely different things accumulated. Some of them were a bit calmer and some of them Yuju wondered how she got it, because some of them could be called controversial.

While she was writing things down, she was completely out of focus and ignored all the chaos around her. She was the only one who sat still in her seat and made no noise.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Yuju's diary was torn from her hands by none other than Lee Heeseung. He stood right in front of her and carefully read the book page by page.

"Give me back!" moaned Yuju and sat down on her table to get the book, which didn't work. Heeseung Mimics changed from side to side, which Yuju could understand because sometimes she wrote disturbing things in it.

"Please," she bowed to him and had almost reached the book, but at that moment she lost her balance and would have made acquaintance with the ground if Heeseung hadn't pulled her by her hood.

He pulled her back on her legs and pushed her backwards so that she landed on her chair again. Yuju looked at him confused and wanted to steal the book, but then the teacher came back and Heeseung sat in his seat. After a few minutes he grinned and gave Yuju a grin." Naughty girl", he murmured and Yuju buried her face in her hands with shame.

Heeseung had been reading Yuju's book for the whole class, and she had watched him, and the nervousness in her became greater and greater. What if he did start bullying her?

"Heeseung and Yuju, would you please take out the garbage after class?" Hwang asked seriously. Heeseung nodded and Yuju too, but she didn't feel like it.

When school was over and everyone except Heeseung and Yuju had left the classroom, Yuju went to a trash can and took it, but Heeseung tore her out of hand.

"Hey, what are you doing?" asked Yuju and then wanted to take the second one, but Heeseung was already in his hand. He pointed with his head to the closed class door and automatically Yuju opened it and went out. He stopped and looked back at Yuju.

"Are you coming?"

She nodded and came to him, he took a step forward and both went to the garbage containers where Heeseung then woke up the trash.

"Why did you take them both, I could wear one too?" asked Yuju uncertainly. Heeseung put the teachers away from the trash cans and bent down to Yuju.

"So you can spend time with me tomorrow" He smiled at her and waved her hair through. With her hairdo, Yuju stared at him.

"Why?" she asked.

"Why not?" he smiled at her with a heartwarming smile and set off for his motorcycle. Yuju watched him put on his helmet, which looked extremely attractive.

"Shall I take you home?" he asked, Yuju shook her head gratefully; since when has he been so nice to her?

"Until tomorrow after school, don't forget it," he admonished her and continued as Yuju, still confused by his actions, watched him do so.
