Jinhwan's Scandal | kjh

03: Friends?

I walked slowly towards my parents' grave as my tears starts to welling up from my eyes. I couldn't hold it anymore.. I missed them so much. I missed to hug them especially my dad. Although he left me with his unsettled debt, I still love him as my dad. I love him so much.

"Eomma.. Appa.. Bogoshipeoso.." I cried as I caresses both of their tomb with my thumb.

"Appa, the loan shark came to me just now.. He said that I only have three days to settle your debt. Otherwise, I will get my punishment.." I paused as I turned to my mom's grave. "Eomma, what should I do now? Why appa do this to me? Where should I find the money?"

I wiped away my tears, "Eomma.. Appa.. Should I just move away from Seoul? I'm so scared.. I'm here all alone without you guys nor friends.. Yes, I do have some friends but they aren't know all about me.. I'm scared to tell them. Otteokkae?" I sobbed.

I continued crying the hell out of me for several minutes before I heard someone sighing. My heart skipped a beat when I turned around to see Donghyuk look sadly at me.

"D-Donghyuk?"

He knelt down before me as he wipe my tears away. Because of his sudden action, I slowly pushed his hand away from my cheek. This is too awkward and odd..

"I'm sorry because eavesdropping your conversation just now. Yerin.."

I stopped him.

"I don't need your sympathy," I said coldly as I stood up.

He grabbed my hand, "Wait."

I stopped as I yanked away my hand off of his grip. He stood up back while fixing his bagpack on his shoulders. I started to walk leaving him, to somewhere I don't even know. I thought I would've spend my whole day or even half of it talking to my parents. Since Donghyuk is here..

"Let's go with me? I wanna share something with you since we are both an orphan," Donghyuk said, grabbing my hand again.

Does he really loves skinship that much?

"Huh?" I blurred.

He just smile at me while leading me to somewhere. But.. I think I know where he is going to bring me. I stopped him.

"Are you going to bring me to my school? How did you know I go to Seoul Private Highschool?" I asked.

He raised an eyebrow, "Jinjja? So we are school mate then?"

I rubbed my head in confusion. "School mate?"

I heard him chuckles, "I went to that school as well!" he cheered.

My eyes lit up a bit. "But I never saw you at that school?"

"That is because I paid less attention towards girl students in my school as I always spend my whole time in school with my team."

I nodded, "Oh. I only have one friend in school and he also have a team. I'm not sure what he called for his team but.. he is going to introduce me to them."

Finally, we arrived at our school. Donghyuk greets our school security before we sneaks in, make our way to the rooftop. To be honest, I never been here since my freshman year. The view from here really beautiful and calm.

"My dad passed away when I was 8 years old. When I saw you cry just now, it reminds me of my dad. I somehow can feel what you feel, Yerin," Donghyuk said while looking at the environment around him.

I let out a deep breathe. I didn't know that he would follow me after I left him in the bus. I think he is sincerely want to be my friend. Why don't I just give him a chance?
