Jin Yong quickly carries me to the sick room, there aren't any people in the room, not even the health instructor, she probably went for lunch. Jin Yong puts me down in front of the sink and opens the tap for some cold running water. After a while, he puts both my arms into the sink and let the cold water run on my arms. It feels less painful now, thanks to the cold water.

Then Jin Yong pull me to the bed nearby, he asks me to sit on the bed, and then he goes to the shelf and takes out a scalded cream. He carefully applies the cream on both my arms, his movement is very gentle, just like handling something really precious. I look at his serious face, people say boys always look the most handsome when they are working. Well, he sure is handsome, like all the time. But I see guiltiness in his eyes, why would he feel guilty? It's not his fault!

"Your wound needs about 4 days to recover. Remember don't apply any soap on your wound, it's better to use cold water to shower. Don't scratch or soak your wound in cold water or you'll get an inflammation of wound." Jin Young says while putting back the cream into the box.

"Thanks!" I say to Jin Yong.

"Don't thank me, you get hurt because of me, I am the one to say sorry. Those girls are really mean, you better be careful next time." he says.

"Who are those girls?"

"Well, it is embarrassed to say it, but I have a fan club. The girl in the middle, Seo a-yin, is the one who organizes this fan club. The girls next to her are her assistants. They often bully students who are close to me, I don't care as long as it isn't that serious. But I must stop them when such bullying happens right in front of me!" He says angrily.

" Oh I see. By the way, how do you know all these medical knowledge?" I ask him in surprise.

"I learn it from my mother."

"Your mother is a doctor?"

"Yeh, before marrying to my dad."

"You want to be a doctor?"

"Not until the accident 10 years ago..." his eyes darken. I want to ask him what happened, but I know it is something that he doesn't want to talk about, so I stay silent.

"Let's go back to the dining hall for lunch." he breaks the awkward silence.

"No!" I say immediately.

Jin Yong laughs a bit, he seems to be back to normal now. "걱정하지만 (Don't worry), I will protect you, 가자 (let's go)!" Jin Yong then put his hand on my shoulder and bring me back to the dining hall.

Jin Yong put two plates of food on the table and sits in front of me, "Here." he pushes one plate to me. "Thanks."

I can feel everyone's eyes are staring at me, it looks like they want to kill me, I shiffer a bit, ugh! It's so scary... "Just ignore them. No one would dare to hurt you in front of me." Jin Yong says confidently.

"I hope so." I say while taking my hand out to hold the pair of chopstick, Jin Yong immediately stops my hand and takes my chopsticks.

"Your hands are hurt, let me feed you." he then feeds me a piece of chicken. I can feel their stares are much colder than before, but whatever, they are just envying about me. I ignore their stares and continue to eat what Jin Yong feeds me, it's an usual thing to feed someone who is injured, right? After I finished all the food, Jin Yong starts having his lunch. He finishes his meal in less than 10 minutes, he must be very hungry, I starts to feel a bit sorry for him.

"OK! Let's go back to the classroom." He stands up and takes the two plates to the collection point.

"Thanks!" I say to him.

"No need to thank me, I owe you." He says with a big warm smile which every girl would die for it.

After school~~~

"Come on! Let's go." Jin Yong comes towards my seat while I am packing up my school bag.

"I need to go to the washroom, maybe you go to the library first?" I say.

"Sure! Then let's meet at the library." he says and winks at me. I roll my eyes at him, what now? Is he insane or something? Ugh!

"Wow wow wow! What's that just now?" Hyun A looks at me with a dubious face.

"What are you thinking Hyun-A ah!" *sigh* This Hyun A, always have some weird thoughts.

"Ummm there must be something.... You better go to your sweet sweet tutorial lesson with Childe Park now, or else someone would be annoyed. 잘 가 (Bye Bye)!" Hyun A waves at me with a smirk. I ignore her and go to the washroom with my school bag.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am about to unlock the door of the cubicle when suddenly a bucket of iced water splash down from the top of my head to the last inch of my sock. I immediately grab the lock of the door and unlock it, I look around and no one is in the washroom, then I see three familiar shadows sneaking out the washroom on the mirror. It's them...

Every inch of my uniform is wet, I cannot go to the library like this although it is summer now, I can still catch a cold. So I take out my phone from my school bag and send Jin Yong a message.

나(me): I need to go home now cuz my clothes are all wet, 미안해 진영아(sorry Jin Yong-a) ><

진영이(Jin Yong-yi): 너 괜찮아(You OK)? What happened? Do you need me to bring you home?

나(me): 난 괜찮아, 걱정하지만(I'm OK, don't worry) :) I can go home myself, thx!!

I grab some paper towel and dry myself briefly, then rush back home as quickly as possible.

---Jin Yong's POV---

I look out from the window of the library and see a figure rushing out the school gate in a hurry. It's her! I quickly grab my school bag and try to catch her up.

She was gone already when I finally reach the school gate. I walk out of the school gate and start searching for Eun Hye, ignoring every girl that approaches me.

Suddenly, I hear a screaming voice from behind. It's Eun Hye's voice! I quickly turn around and search for the source of her voice.

I find myself standing in a dark rear lane with a strong smell of blood. A girl is lying on the floor unconscious with three girls standing around her. I spot a bandage on the girl's ankle, it's Eun Hye! What happened to her?

Before I can do anything, a cold and angry voice rings from the other end of the rear lane. "What are you doing!"

The girls immediately stop what they are doing and turn to that young man. "Omo! Childe Im!" They give a 90 degree bow to Jae Bum. He ignores the girls and walks to Eun Hye, he carries her horizontally and leaves the rear lane.

"Don't you remember what I said this afternoon, Seo a-yeon?"

"Childe Park..."
