Helpless (Gfriend Eunha Fanfiction)

Thirty Seven

EUNHA POVS

After meeting Bang PD nim, I decided to go to the usual restaurant. Not hungry but I just need a quiet place to think and not in the building or house. I hope its not crowded though which often does but the customers are elders so its quiet. But still, it feels great when the restaurant is quiet with less people.

I enter the restaurant, feeling happy when I see there are only three people inside. I quickly sit at one of the corner booths and rest my head on the wall.

What am I supposed to do now? I can't keep causing problems that could trouble BTS. Its completely the opposite of my job as a bodyguard. I straighten my back when I caught a women sit in front of me.

"Yerin-ah.." I greet her.
"Hi. What are you doing here?" She asks, smiling.
"No reason. You?" I ask.
"I'm looking for Umji, where is she today?" She asks.
"Ah, she's absent." I say.
"What a pity." She pouts.

"Can you tell your brother to get away from me?" I ask.
"I can't. He won't listen to me anyway." She says.
"What a pity." I mimick her.
"I'm sorry." She says, with a look of guilt across her face.
"Its okay. You've known him for your whole life." I say.
"Are you having troubles? I can help, you know." She says.
"Let's just say, I have a boyfriend and our relationship isn't going well because people didn't want us to be together."

Well, the explanation is quiet different from the situation but it works out well. Besides, the stalker keep sending pictures, doesn't that saying she wants us to break up?

"You never told me you have a boyfriend." She says, looking surprised.
"Well, I'm busy working and Yuju is the only one near me at that time." I say.
"Its okay. What kind of issues you have?" She asks.
"My mom doesn't agree with me dating him." Its similar to the world that'll probably hate him if the truth is revealed.
"Maybe the guy is terrible?" She asks.
"Do you think I'll date terrible guy?" I snap.
"No. But you and your mom taste is different though." She says.
"He's kind, caring, mischievous and cute." I blushed, as I recall Jungkook's personality.
"Sounds perfect."
"I know right? But it won't work between us." I say sadly.

YERIN POVS

I feel guilty lying to Eunha these past minutes. I really want to tell her that I know you have a boyfriend. I know what kind of issues that's going on in your relationship. I know the guy isn't terrible. I know your mom haven't actually know about the guy. I know everything. I really want to just tell her that I'm pretending but I can't. Because Jaehyun told me not to or he won't find me my parents. I'm such a bad friend.

"Maybe you should just end it with him if your mom is against it." I force it out. It kills me to say it.

She stays quiet. I know she's thinking about it.

"Never mind. If I were you, I won't let a perfect guy like that go out from my life." I say. I can't bear seeing her relationship ruin because of my selfishness.

"No, your words make sense. I'll think about it." She says with a dull expression.

I really want to tell her to not think about it but I can't. She'll be suspicious if I tell it again because I said it already.

"Okay." Is all I could say.
"Anyway, how's your work?" She asks.
"Going great. My students are loving." I recall the kindergarten students I'm teaching.
"That's great." She says as my phone rings. Its an advertisement message.
"I have to get going. Duty calls." I lied.
"Okay. Be careful." She waves at me. I nod and wave back at her.

I use it as an excuse to escape the situation. Guilt takes over me. No matter how many times I tell myself I'm not doing any criminal things, I can't. Because in reality, I did. I'm such a bad person. I deserve to rot in jail but I don't.

I really want to tell someone about my struggle but I can't because I don't have anyone. But I know a place that can cheer me up a bit. I drive to the school I'm teaching. Namsan International Kindergarten.

Its not school days now but the kids often come there to play at the playground. I quickly park my car and run to the playground, smiling when I found Hanmi is sitting by herself at the swings.

"Hanmi-ah!" I yell her name.
"Gyeosa Jung!" She turns around at my voice and greet me, waving happily. She gets off from the swing and run.
"Ah! I miss you!" I say, crouching down to hug her small body.
"Me too, Gyeosa Jung." She says.
"Why are you alone?" I ask.
"No one wants to play with me." She says. I frown. Hanmi isn't a rich kid, so that's probably why the other students are avoiding her.  She's also an orphan and she get her through scholarship but she's extremely bright for her age.
"I want to play with you." I grin at her, trying to cheer her up a bit.
"Really? Let's go." She takes my hand and starts running.

I happily follow her and start to play. In here, I don't have to pretend I'm Jung Jinhyun. I can be myself, Jung Yerin. Have an escape from the harsh reality that hits me nonstop. Even though I have guilt and fault, being here, magically heal me.

"Oh, Hanmi-ah, I need to go to the restroom first. Don't go anywhere, okay?" I say as I stop swinging her.
"Okay." She nods. I look around at the empty playground, there are no one in here which means someone could kidnap her rightaway. I need to be quick.

I quickly run to the restroom and change my bandage. The wound is still visible although its not bleeding anymore, I just need to use a new bandage to avoid any virus entering my body. I quickly pull down my long sleeves to hide it and run to the playground again.

I saw Hanmi is talking to someone dressed in all black. The person is wearing a hoodie, making it impossible to guess if its a girl or a boy. I think its a girl though, the body has some curves although she's really skinny and tall.

"Hanmi-ah. Are you okay?" I take her in my arm, checking if she's injured.
"I'm okay. He has been accompanying me when you don't come." She says.

He? I look at him up and down. From what I see, its impossible that he's a guy. Must be a 'she'. I mean, her face is so small.

"Have you ever see his face?" I ask Hanmi.
"Yeah." She nods.

The person pull down his hoodie which reveals a brown mob hairstyle, making me widen my eyes. But I mean, a girl could have this kind of hairstyle too right? Although its very rare. However, as I'm looking closely, his shoulder are quiet board for a girl and his fingers are really long. He take off his mask to reveal his face.

"You."
