PATHS (Halla kook X Ming Halla)

U.N.I

Mingyu POV

It's been a day and a half being locked up. My hand reaches for my half moon necklace, one of simplicity and purity. I stare at it wondering how grandma is, if she's alright up there, "what have I done to deserve this? Please, please save me," tears unknowingly escape.

BAM BAM BAM

"Mingyu! Are you in there? Mingyu!" I recognise that voice - Vernon Hyung!

I run to the door he is knocking on, "hyung! Hyung! I'm here! I'm in here!!"

"Mingyu step back around two meters" I step far away,

BAAMMM

Vernon Hyung kicked opened the door along with a huge hammer in his arms.

"Who did this?!" He asks

"Um um my uncle,"

Earlier that day

Vernon POV

Why hasn't he showed up to work today? He's usually on time and very organised.

Suddenly I remembered what he said about promising to always have the pay money given to him on the exact date given. He said it was crucial.

Maybe his relative is terminally ill and needs money for hospital bills?

Maybe he just likes his money given on the right time?

Or maybe he's just ill.

I shrug and walk to mys house,

"That mingyu bastard, I'll kill uim one day," an Ahjussi told himself as I walk pass him.

Mingyu?

Halla POV

Today I HAVE to got to uni. Jungkook drops me off and he walks me into to the lecture room Just to make sure I don't have difficulties with my ankle.

"Nan kanda" (I'll get going) he says as he waves and throws an air heart towards me, I groan in disgust of his aegyo. "Saranghae" he kisses my forehead

"Saranghae"

I realise I am sitting alone and with a spare table next go me , I throw my books onto there.

The teacher comes in with the register, "kim hanbin,"

"Yez"

"Kang Sara"

"Yh"

"Lee halla"

"Yes"

" jung soo jung "

"Yes" .....

....

"Kim mingyu"

Silence. Kim mingyu? He's in my class? But where is he?? I need to thank him for the hospital bill.

"Yes!" Oh it's mingyu! He comes in to class apologizing for attending late.

Mingyu POV

Oh shit I'm late. Aaàaaah I can't miss class.

"Yes!" I shout assuming that it was the register as I enter the room.
I bow as apology about my late coming. As I look for a seat, there seems to be only one left, and to add to.my surprise it's Halla next to the empty seat.

She looks up and clears the desk so I can sit, "please sit," she says, smiling. Damn that smile. I smile back and then the professor begins lesson.

After class

"Do u remember me?" I ask Halla as we packed our.bags

"Of course , kim mingyu. Komawo for the hospital bill, I don't know how to thank you enough,"

I laugh, "it's alright, it wasn't much anyway "

"I know! How about a meal? To make up for the bill?" She asks with pleading eyes.

"Meal?"

"I'll pay for beef"

My eyes widened and I gulped, my adams apple moving. I haven't had good meat in a while and suddenly and crave comes. "Beef?"

"I want to treat u since you tool me to the hospital and took care of me," she packs her backpack and wears it, "since class is over, what about now?"

We've reached the beef restaurant and she order a massive mountain of food.

Halla POV

I start munching down on the beef. Mingyu starts to eat, but really slowly.

Grandma! Grandma! Yah! Please! Mingyu!

Mingyu? Can't possibly be this mingyu, right? Nag I'm over thinking. Solma? Eyyyy, Lee halla it's not him!

"Why are you staring at me?" He says laughing

"You just seemed familiar, that's all" I laugh off,

"Of course I'm familiar"

Is it him, maybe it is omg

"I took you to the hospital the other day"

Of course. Of course.

We starter talking about school and everything and he asked about jungkook,

"Jungkook? How do you know him?" Maybe it's one of his friends.

"I'm the guy you bought ice cream for" Wait what????? Ice cream? The 15 years guy?!

"Wait a minute, ur the 15 years guy! Yah!" I start eating his beef as punishment, "Why did u do that?"

He was astonished over how much beef I had eaten. "Mianhae. You looked familiar, that's all"

Because I felt bad I decided to change the subject, "do u want ice cream after?"

"Can u even eat any more?"

I grin, "girls have a second stomach for deserts "

The ice cream parlour was right in front of the uni, and we both got stwarberry ice cream.
"I'll pay," he says, "it's the least I owe for the 15 years thing"

He pulls out his waller.

what

He has an old polaroid of him, a gurl and an ahjumma together. Him and the girl seemed really young, ahjumma seemed familiar.

But how come that gurl is me?
