Chapter 3
*Ringggg* *Ringgggg* *Ringgggg* My alarm rang. Its 5 in the morning. Quickly jump out of bed despite my tiredness. Done all my usual morning routine and went for breakfast just in front of the hostel. 8.15am my watch stated. crossed the road and went into the company hoping that everything will be fine. Jong Guk came and gave us our task. My task is to clean up the store room which is full of dusk and boxes. I have no choice but to obey it. I went to the room and took a ladder and started carrying down the boxes from the shelves to clean it. While on the other side, others was given other task such as cleaning the toilet and so on. After carrying down 5 boxes I'm already half dead. But there's still like 15 more box to go. The boxes is so damn big and damn heavy for a girl like me who doesn't exercise.Moreover I'm allergic to dusk. So I couldn't help it but to cover my nose with my shirt despite its hard for me to see the ladder steps like that. When I was walking down the ladder while carrying 7th the box, I accidentally miss-see a step and twisted my leg and fall. That moment, I knew I'm in a big trouble as I dropped the box and all the stuff in the box came out. But in that moment, I realise that I didn't fall on the dusty hard ground but in fact I fall onto something soft. When I opened my eyes, I shouted out of shock when I saw a pair of big charming eyes in front of me. I quickly get up despite my leg hurt and I barely can stand and realise its Jong Guk who held onto me when I fall saving me from hitting the hard ground.
I thought he was going to shout at me, but no.He asked in a really gentle voice asking whether am I hurt or not. I replied 'Nanun.. Kwen..Chana...yo' means I'm okay. I didn't want him to know that I sprained my left leg. I quickly bow while putting all my weight on my right leg and apologise for causing all the mess. He noticed that something is not right with the way I stand and asked me again whether am I okay and I replied the same thing, I'm fine.But then he still didn't gave up and asked me to stand nearer to him. And so I tried walking nearer without letting him know but then it failed. It hurt so bad that I couldn't not make the 'ssss' sound. And I told him I sprained my leg. Immediately he started grabbing my left hand over his neck and supported me and brought me to the so called 'rest room'. He took the first aid box and started putting counter pain cream around my ankle and started to slowly turn my ankle to soften the sprained part. after awhile it became better but I couldn't walk normally yet. He bandaged my leg and asked me to go home and rest. I told him I coulda still continue on but he said to go home and rest he'll tell the boss about it. And so he dropped me back even though the hostel is just across the company. I went home. And out of boredness I on the t.v. and started watching random movies.Before I realise it, my brain isn't focusing on the tv but instead its thinking back about the time when Jong guk held onto me. And I snap out of reality and quickly slap myself so that i don't think nonsense stuff.
