Se-Hwa's POV

*gasp*

*sniffs*

I couldn't help the tears that started forming in the corner of my eyes.

Me: I knew it.

I tried to get out of Jackson's arms but his grasp was too tight on me. 

Jackson: Let's just go. Don't make a scene, Se-Hwa. Come on.

I kept trying to push against Jackson and I just couldn't take it anymore. I yelled.

Me: Ya! You bastard!

He turned around, and I stared right into his eyes. I looked over at the girl, and it wasn't even the same girl from before.

Me: Hey you! DON'T HANG OUT WITH VERNON! HE'S A CHEATERRR!!!! 

Jackson eventually dragged me away and we went down to the subway station.

Vernon's POV

Jinsol: So this is the Lotte Mall. It's a pretty big mall and a lot of tourists like to visit this one.

Me: Oh, cool. You know, Jinsol, it's so great to have a cousin give me a tour of Seoul, seeing as I'm really depressed right now and I'm also fairly new around here.

Jinsol: That's no problem at all. I'd be more than happy to show you around Busan, too. Cuz you know our moms lived there.

Me: Ye-

Se-Hwa: Ya! You bastard!

I turned my head to look at who was yelling. Oh, god. It was Se-Hwa, and she was looking directly at me. And she's with that bastard, Jackson. She eventually got dragged away by Jackson.

Jinsol: Oppa. Who was that?

Me: Oh, I think she was yelling at the couple behind us.

Jinsol: ? There is no couple behind us...

Me: You didn't see them? They must've left after all that yelling.

I shrugged and continued into Lotte Mall.

I feel dead inside.

Se-Hwa's POV

I cried into Jackson's shoulder and buried my face in his chest. He patted me on the back.

Jackson: *whispers* It's okay. Sshhhh.

The more he tried to make it better, the more I cried.

Me: *sobs* Why did he have to?

Jackson: It's okay. You have me.

I squeezed him even harder and we stayed in that position until we arrived at the bus stop.

Jackson: Kaja.

Me: Where?

Jackson: My house.

Me: Why?

Jackson: Because you said there wasn't anybody at your house, and I don't want to leave you all alone at your house.

My cheeks started feeling hotter and my heart melted like an ice cream (TWICE reference).

Me: Do you have any food at your house?

Jackson: ... No...

Me: Ya! I told you to eat well so I don't have to worry about you!

I kicked his butt.

Me: Let's go.

Jackson: Where?

Me: To E-Mart.

Jackson: Ok.

We walked into E-Mart (a supermarket that has literally everything!) and right away, we went over to the bread section. I started picking out some bread and decided what I should make for dinner. I found all the groceries we need, so we went up to the second floor.

Jackson: Can we go over to the pet section?

Me: Why?

Jackson: Because that's where we used to go all the time together. Remember? We even said that we would buy a hamster together and take care of it.

Me: Haha yeah, I remember. 

Jackson: Do you want to buy a hamster?

Me: Sure, why not. *giggles*

Jackson: Which one is the cutest?

I peered into the hamster tank and saw a cute little hamster that caught my eye. It was struggling to drink water, and then it fell into the water bin.

Me: *pointing* That one. :)

Jackson: Okay, we really have the same taste.

Me: Okay.

Jackson: Since we're done getting the hamster... let's go to the toy section!

Me: What?

Jackson: I said, let's go to the toy section.

Me: No.

Jackson: Please.... ne eomma????

Me: What the heck, all of a sudden. No, let's go get ice cream.

Jackson: Okay.

We got two ice creams and went to the check-out station. I paid for all of the groceries, and Jackson paid for the hamster.

We were holding hands and walking to his house when there was a suspicious man standing outside his door.

Jackson: Stay here.

Me: Okay.

Jackson approached the suspicious man and started talking with him. Then, he started beating up the man. But the man had more muscles than Jackson and knocked him out cold. Glancing both ways, he got in his car and sped away.

I just stood there in shock until I could register what had truly happened. I ran over to Jackson kneeling next to him. I took his head and hand and tried to lift him up. He's so heavy....

Jackson: I'm fine. Just help me up.

Tears started forming in my eyes and I helped him get up. He limped into the house and I did as well.

Jackson: Can you get me my phone?

Me: Yeah, it's right here.

Jackson: Thanks.

Jackson: *on phone* Yes, Secretary Kim, I think I need a bodyguard (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon reference).
