Behind Those Glasses

Chapter 15: What fight do you want to win?

"LISTEN MIYA!"

She finally stopped her blabbing.

"Look. I get hurt on my own. He risked his life to save me. We're lucky he's still alive."

She then turned her attention to Jeremy. "I'm so sorry..."

He smiled. "It's alright."

I got down and hopped to my room. We all went to our rooms. The next morning I went to school together with Jeremy. It was silent the whole walk to the bus stop and the ride. Until we got out. "Hey Jeremy. You're forgiven."

"I knew from yesterday afternoon." he smirked. "You stalker." I gave a straight face and then we both started laughing. Then came Joon-Hee and Britney together. "Looks like you both had your stresses relieved." Britney said. We both nodded had our conversation then went to class.

On our way to class we heard a crowd having loud screams and shouts. "SHIN?!" Britney said in disbelief. "Shin?" I repeated. Why would he come in a limo? Oh my word and he even has a butler?! But he usually comes with the bus and....doesn't usually wear glasses...nor fixes his hair....What in the world....since I came to Taiwan weird things happen. Or is it just me. Shin scanned across the crowd and locked his eyes on me. He gave a sigh of relief and bolted to me.

"Where's Jeremy?!" he asked in panic.

"Wh-"

"No time for questions. Oh and bring Joon-Hee and Britney along."

"Ooo...kay...?" I looked across to where Jeremy was stand. "Hey Jerry... come here for a sec. Oh and bring Joon along...." I said and looked at Shin to see if what I did was right. Then Shin took us to the Limo and we all sat in.

I then saw the old lady from yesterday and greeted with a smile. That's what we all did. "I'd like to treat you all with some tea whatever you like today."

"And school?" we all questioned.

She then giggled. "Very good. You're all concerned about your education, but no worries. I gave them salary increase for today, so the students can either go home either or go to class and study. Or whatever they need to do in class."

Not that we give a crap about education but uhm we need it to get some money for our futures... anyways... Nice lady...

We then went to some fancy restaurant and got us whatever and halfway I asked, "Isn't this too much?"
"No I was planning to get my son to marry you."

"WHAT?!" Jeremy and I both shouted.

She laughed, "I'm joking. If you two are not a couple."

"Grandma!" Shin said.

"ok, ok I'll stop. Anyways, I had a very important envelope in my purse. It would cost my life if it hadn't been returned yesterday. So that's why I'll be repaying you for your kindness."

She didn't say for how long but it sure sounds long which made me happy but guilty...yeah I probably should expect the unexpected...

Then Jeremy pulled me outside. He did say we'll be back in a while but his expression was serious. His grip was tight all the way outside to the... Garden? It was a huge piece of land with flowers...that's not the point.

"Lina...watch me win this fight." he said then left.

What fight? Wait. PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY. Urgh whatever if it's physically I'll have to unforgive him.
