Without thinking Hanbin took of his jacket and started to go down. Others called him to stop but he continued. His eyes were non-stop on her, watching here every movement. So far she manage to hold herself but soon her hands will numb and she will let go of that clif that is for sure!.
He speed up and entered the water holding on to sharp edge of a clif. Water was pushing but he managed to stay up and moved further towards her.. Her hands were shaking already, he saw that right away. - Nae Ra just hold it there I'll help you! Just don't let go!- He yelled and she nodded not dearing to look at his direction , just trying to endure pain in her fingers. Her palms was all cutted on sharp rocks and blood was trickling down to her wrists, but she was holding with whole her strenght.
Hanbin came closer and wrapped his arm around her waist. -Now hold on to me! I'll pull you out!- She nodded and wrapped both hands around his neck.
He started to move slowly and all was fine untill his foot slipped a little and water hit his back pushing them both down. Hanbin was holding her so tight and only with his strenght he was able to get up again. They were both completely wet! Then he reached the left side of a clif and pulled them both out of the water. There was a small gap in the rocks on that side so they were able to squeeze themselves there.
She was still holding on to him affraid to let go. Her body was shaking from fear and cold, so he hugged her tighter trying to warm her up.
-How did you end up there?- he asked. - I was collecting rocks but I slipped and water carried me to that clif.
-Collecting rocks here? Nae Ra you are so strange girl... - She wanted to let him go but he pulled her more towards him.- I'm just trying to keep you warm don't think otherwise! - She nodded- Of course... - He smirked- You really annoy me ! - I'm sorry....Thank you for saving me. - She lowered her eyes but he took her chin and lifted her head up.- And look in to my eyes when you are talking to me! - He was serious and his voice sounded angry but his eyes were dark and deep. Her heart started pounding fast. Then corners of his lips lifted and he smiled. -Why you so serious all the time and so damn quiet? That annoys me even more!- She shrugged all confused.- I just want to stay invisible as much as I can.
He frowned- Why Nae Ra? Why you want to stay invisible?- I have my reasons..- She lowered her eyes again and let him go moving a little further from him. He looked straight at her but didn't say anything. His eyes travelled from her head all the way to her hands. Then he notice blood. - You are hurt! - She looked at her palms. - Yes , I guess I cut myself on that clif..
He ripped hem of his shirt and took her hand starting to wrap her palm gently. Same he did with the other hand. - Thank you... - She said quietly and looked at him. They eyes met and he reached to tuck her hair behind her ear. - You are actually prettied like this.. Why is your hair always on your face? - She shrugged and he smiled revealing his white teeth. That smile could melt stone not just small girls heart.
Nae Ra looked away turning her profile to him and he wanted to make her look at him again but something caught his attention. She had something behind her ear on that sensitive side of her neck. His fingers moved her hair and he saw a small rose tattoo. Hanbin was so surprised. He would never expect to see tattoo on this girl. She pushed his hand and covered it with her hair.
-Nae Ra! - He called her and she looked at him with fear in her eyes. That surprised him even more- You are so strange girl... -Yes I know, you already said that! - He wanted to say something more but one mand from the rescuing team appeared from above. They pulled them both from that place with ropes .
Hanbin was not able to talk to here more that day. And next few days she didn't come to school. He was worried- What is with her? Is she ok?
While he was returning home from school, he decided to go across the bridge. It was longer path to his home nut he needed some air and wanted to be alone.
He was walking slow buried in his thoughts and most of them were about Nae Ra. He couldn't stop thinking about her. The picture of her eyes,face,silky hair and that rose tattoo behind her ear wouldn't let him alone. He was craving to touch that silky hair and tuck behind her ear. he wanted to hear her voice, to sent her smell which reminded him of fresh fruit. He felted for the first time when she was holding tight on him and when he was pulling her from water. Her head was so close to him touching his cheek. She was so light and gentle or that just looked like that because of adrenaline?- Nah, she must be fairy or ghost, she is so unreal and beautiful...
He lifted his eyes up and spotted someones silhouette on the bridge. - Am I seeing thing now?
It was a girl standing there alone by the fence. She seemed unreal. Her upper body was half hanging over metal fence and her head started to lower down more. When her hands moved further down his heart stopped.- Nae Ra no !!
