My Arranged Marriage with Baekhyun (EXO fanfiction)

Part 20

Baekhyun POV
There was a rather long silence and I was already beginning to feel awkward, when she started speaking.

"You said...you were Sogogi."

I paused. Did she remember something?

"I...yeah..yeah, I am."

Jieun POV
Baekhyun...

*flashback* (prepare for ze long flashback)
It was almost the end of extension class. I was itching to go to my local bookstore and buy the new volume of One Piece before it was sold out.

I impatiently looked out of the classroom at the deserted soiled grass ground, down at the large tree that stood in a corner of the quad. A leg was dangling off a branch. I frowned and then looked back at the teacher who was wrapping up the lesson.

"That's it for today. Make sure you go over what we have learnt today, and remember homework is due tomorrow....I'm only extending it because the majority of you haven't finished, okay?"

We all thanked him and bowed as he left. I grabbed my books and pens and threw them in my bag before skipping out of the classroom. By now, the school was empty; only our grade had an extension class today. I was greeted with the strong cold wind as I exited the main building. I hugged my jacket closer and began to make my way across the muddy field. Suddenly I spotted a boy, around my age, trying to climb down a huge tree.

"Oi, careful!" I yelled as I approached him.

He tilted his head back and looked at me, smirking.

"All good."

Still in shock, I continued watching him dangeroulsy descend the tree. Suddenly, a book falls out of the tree.

"Dammit..." the boy mumurs.

"You're nor going to make it, you know?" I said, as I grabbed the book off the ground, and dusted off the dirt. I turned the book around. One Piece, Volume 35. The latest one?

The boy looked at me, as if I made some kind of joke.

"Oh yeah? Watch me. By the way that's mine, so don't take it."

One moment he was still holding onto the trunk, the next, he was sprawled on the rocky ground.

I almost screamed. I walked up to him and gave him a hand.

"Why did you that?" I asked, almost scolding him.

He didn't move for a second. Then he looked up, and grabbed my hand as he sat up. I noticed the blood on his forehead, dripping down to his browbone. He obviously decided to land straight on his face onto the rugged ground.

"Ow..." he stood up, not conscious of his injury.

I pointed at the trickling blood.

"Your...head is bleeding."

"Huh?" he reached up, wiping it carelessly with his sleeve.

I reached into my bag and pulled out some tissue, and hastily dabbed at his wound.

"Ugh, that hurts.."

"Sorry....I don't have a bandaid."

"It's okay."

"No, lets go to the school nurse."

I grabbed his arm and dragged him back him into the main building and into the nurse's office.

"Nurse? This boy got hurt..." I said.

"Ahhh..just as I'm getting ready to get off work...Byun Baekhyun...what can I do about you? Did you go around causing trouble again?"

The nurse took off her coat and made the boy sit on the stretcher behind him and began treating him. Baekhyun....that was his name huh?  I watched as she put ointment onto a bandage and placed it on his head.

"How did you even cut yourself there? I can't do much here and it's pretty deep so I suggest you get it stitched up at your local doctor....although it will leave a scar."

"Thanks..." he mumbles before walking out of the room. I quietly follow behind.

"Hey....are you okay? Does it hurt?"

"It stings. I don't like the nurse."

I laughed.

"Oh.. and your book....I see you got the latest copy." I gave his book to him.

"You read One Piece too?"

"Of course. I'm going to get my copy today."

"I don't know if you're gonna get one though.... it's probably all sold out.."

"What????"

"Yeah..there was only three more when I got it."

All of a sudden I began sulking.

"You can read mine if you want. But you have to give it back."

"Okay.. thanks! I'll give it back on Monday?"

He  gave a thought before agreeing. Then we parted ways.

"Oh wait!! What was your name?" he yelled.

"Lee Jieun." I yelled back.

"I'm Byun Baekhyun."

We waved at each other before walking away.

*end flashback*

Where these memories came from...I wasn't too sure, but I reached out subconsciously, brushing Baekhyun's hair aside. On the left side of his forehead, I could see a faded scar.
