Fated To Love You

9th string - The Same Girl

RIN’s POV

The infirmary nurse wrapped my sprained ankle and then let me rest on the bed.

“And now I’m back to being a patient.” I complained and then placed my arm over my eyes.

Marcus was standing beside the bed when I heard him chuckle yet again.

“That makes us equal.” He blurted out.

“Yeah right. I know. I shouldn’t have eavesdropped and escaped. Now I got my karma so fast. As fast as the millibites per second could go.”

And then he started to laugh so hard.

“Yah!” I said and then tried to get up and face him, but then I was face to face with him. Just several centimeters apart that I could already feel his warm breath on my cheeks.

“I—I—“ I said while stuttering. But then again I felt myself blush and so I decided to lie back on the bed and face the opposite direction.

“Yah. Are you mad at me again now?” He asked quite exasperated that my mood changed.

I just shook my head. And then when I’ve finally calmed down, I turned to his direction but did not look at him.

“I’m just tired.” I said.

“Then have some rest.” He said.

“Okay.” I retorted.

“I’m going then.” He said.

But as he was about to walk away I grabbed his hand all of a sudden. I just felt like doing it.

“What now?” He asked.

“I can’t sleep, unless someone caresses my hair.” I said, not lying to him.

Eversince I was a kid, this has been my problem. I won’t be able to sleep not unless mom or dad or Jaeshin oppa would carress my hair especially when I feel anxious.

“So, you want me to do it?” Marcus asked me while pointing at himself.

And I looked at him while pouting and then nodded.

He sighed.

I knew he would be feeling annoyed.

Gosh. Did I just tick his button now?

I just closed my eyes and heard a sound from a chair being placed next to my bed.

And then there’s this soft touch on my hair.

Then on, I realized that he was actually caressing my hair as I asked him to.

And I let out a smile. I just felt like smiling over this thing. For no reason. It just makes me happy that he’s doing it for me.

“Thanks.” I mumbled.

“For what?”

“Because, you don’t hate me.” I sincerely said.

And then I just felt myself falling asleep.

MARCUS’s POV

“Because, you don’t hate me.” Rin said to me when I asked why she was thanking me yet again, right before she fell asleep.

And then I remembered what happened 9 years ago because of that.

“Oppa, oppa!” She said to me while shaking me to wake me up, as I was sleeping on my desk.

I got up and then wiped my eyes with my hands, and saw the clear picture of this girl in front of me.

I blushed seeing her this close. She was facing me just 5 centimeters apart.

So I kept my cool.

“What now?”

“Let’s eat together.” She asked of me while looking at me so cutely.

“I can’t” I just said.

“But why?” She said putting up a disappointed face.

“I wanna sleep.” And so I rested my head back on my desk.

But she kept on annoying me and asking me to eat with her.

This kid has been doing this since we became classmates for this grade. And I’ve done a lot of favor for her. Not that I’m complaining.

I’m just trying to avoid her. Because I know what will happen if I let her get close to me.

Everybody will just hate her.

“Oppa.” She said again.

“What again?”

“Nothing much.” She said and then giggled quietly.

And then I just felt warm lips touch my right cheek.

And that made me stand up from where I was sleeping. When I looked around to see her, she had strode off outside the classroom.

I just felt my cheeks go red. And I touched it with both my hands.

“Yah! Yah! Did you just see that?...” A kid said.

“Rin Lee kissed Marcus on his cheek!”

“Really?!!!”

Then the  girls started to go near me and interrogate me.

“Oppa, is that true?!” One girl said in exaggeration.

“Oppa, did she kiss you?”

‘Oppa, what happened there?”

“Do you actually like that weird girl?!”

“OPPA!!!!”

The noise around got me so annoyed that I shouted at them at the top of my lungs.

“I DON’T LIKE RIN LEE, OKAY?!”

All went silent. And then we just heard cans of juice dropping to the floor from the sliding door.

And I saw her there standing, teary-eyed.

She then started to grin and then giggle so grimly.

She slowly made her way towards me, and then even the girls made way for her as she come to me. She stood in front of me in silence.

“I—“ Before I could even say anything to her, she slapped me hard.

“I HATE YOUUUUU!!!!!” She said and then she cried and run out of the classroom.

And that was the last time I’ve seen her.

I smiled at the thought of that.

She was that cute girl 9 years ago. Who would have thought that we would actually meet again like this?

But, seeing her now, she must have known too by now that I’m that boy, who said that hated her. That must be the reason why she got mad at me. But wait… maybe no.

I hit my head at the thought of her hating me.

I somehow felt that, I don’t want her to hate me again. I must have been the reason why she can’t come back here.

And I regret that.

I should had stood up for a friend.

She was my friend.

But I abandoned her.

And so, I was abandoned too.

This precious girl.

Really.

Why come just now all of a sudden?
