Because of that incident, I became somewhat paranoid of my name. Especially when I'm being called.


"Janggu! Geum Janggu!"

I darted my eyes up and saw my professor glaring down at me. Shisus. I've been worrying about my name. I should stop it and worry about my school standing instead.

"Nae?" I politely asked and stood up.

"Answer this." He said pointing at the problem on the board behind him.

"Gladly sir." I replied proudly.

Sigh.


"Janggu-yah... Hey." My best friend poked me on my cheeks one time we were having our lunch time.

"Oh. Seulmi." I smiled at her while she took her seat.

"You've been spacing out. What's the matter huh?" she asked.

"Nothing much. Just recently. Because of a dog." I said truthfully.

"Really?"

"It's a long story." I said and then nodded at her.

Class dismissal and now I'm heading home. I took my time, leisurely because it was still early so yea. Plus my mom hadn't called me yet.

"Janggu!" my ears automatically perked up.

I hastily looked around to search for something to hide and found a nearby post and decided to squish myself in between the wall.

I closed my eyes and waited anxiously. Surely that guy and his stupid dog was passing by. I stood still, stopped breathing, if I have to, just to be unnoticed.


Poke.


I breathed out heavily. Sure, heavens hated me. Ugh.

"Yo Janggu!" he exclaimed, grinning widely.

His dog barked at me and I looked down to it to send it a death glare. But it didn't get my message. Sucks to be a dog which has no human intelligence.


"Hey Jongen!" I mimicked his cheerful greetings and purposely mispronounce his name.

He frowned. "Jongin. It's Jongin." He corrected.

I nodded nonchalantly and slid out the post then proceeds walking.

"Janggu!"

"What!"

"I mean my dog. Sorry." He said, but his eyes were mischievous so I knew he was just playing with me.

I stopped walking and faced him. "Stop making fun of my name." I said.

He shrugged and stuffed his hands on his pants pocket. "Not my fault your mom named you after a dog's name."

I squinted my eyes at him dangerously. I know I lost it. How dare he blame my mother to name me after his dog when obviously I was born before his dog? I kicked his dog in return and the poor pup whimpered when it rolled away a few steps from where he is standing.


Yea. Animal abuse, but I didn't regret it.


He stared at me, wide eyed, jaw dropped and then he turned towards his dog who laid limply on the ground. I felt guilty. What if it died? Gosh. No.

He picked it up and it moved a little, whimpering. He then looked at me and I swear he had this 'killing' intent towards me.


I gulped. But...

"Serves you right." I said before dashing away from him. I did not run since I would turn out a coward if I do so. And I knew he wouldn't come after me because his dog's life was more important.

I sat in front of my table, my eyes on the window staring outside. My conscience was killing me. It was bugging me! I didn't know what to do. I peeked on the other window to check his house which as actually beside ours.

The lights were off, so that meant he was asleep. I sighed heavily and walked towards my bed. I should at least make it up to him or else he would hate me.



Then I ended up falling asleep thinking of something and ways on how to make it up to him and his dog.
