15

Author POV

" Mingyu, I know what happened to your parents."

"What- what do u mean?" He forces himself to say.

Tears form up in Halla's eyes as she struggles to get the word out,"before u came back from skl, I was ill so Halmeoni looked after ed me...."

She talked about all those men who attacked. How mingyu parents cam in then.

"...... Whilst they were saving me, they" tears fell this time, "died,"

His ice cream dropped face flat on the ground.

MINGYU POV

her face glistened as she cried. Her tears falling onto her already melted icexreM.

"They died," she cried and cried.

I don't know how I feel. But. But. I just don't know.

They died so they could save her. My crush whom I love. I think slowly of it through as it processes my mind.

They didn't die because of Halla.

They died cos of the gang.

I turn around and see halla ceying with her hair hiding her face whilst she looks down to her lap

"If only I had gotten help in time, or or or only if I wasn't there. Or only if I wasn't born!!! They wouldn't have died," she cried sobbing her way through her words.

She stands up so i follow, a tear rolling out my eye.

"You provably hate me-"

I hug her.

Comfort her.

Hold her.

She's held such a deep burden that's driven her crazy at times, she's felt so guilty.

Her tears and snot wipes through my top.

HALLA POV

It's my fault.

I killed them practically.

He suddenly hugs me.

After all I've done he hugs me, why? Why must I always owe him one?

I can't do anything but cry.

Lee halla. You must forget. Your the reason why he's like this.

Your the reason for the bad things.

JUNGKOOK POV

Can't believe graduation is next week. I'm taking a test for an accountant job so I can work as soon as uni ends and I'm so nervous.

As I sit in the exam hall in my suit and tie. I take out simple stationary from my backpack and lay them neatly on a table.

Okay kookie.

You got this.

Think about mom and her being an accountant.

Think bout halla and how to get money for her "gift".

Okay no pressure.

"You may write your name on the papers and start when you're ready, " the voice says.

Let's go.

UNKNOWN POV

"How long does it take to find one goddamn girl?!" I throw my bballpoint pen across my office fine wood desk.

"You know what? Forget about her! Find someone else." I think of who....

"Find. Him. "
