Love Me Now?

Chapter 19

NO ONE'S POV

She followed the hand which was holding the teddy and it ended up to be from behind her. She turned her head and pulled her head away from him subsequently when she realised how close their face were.

"W-what are you doing here?" Seulhi pondered as she moved a bit further from him who already took a seat next to her.

"You? What you doing here?"

"I- I j-just love this place." Seulhi stuttered, avoiding his eyes because she didn't want him to know that she was crying.

"And you cry because of that?" This question made Seulhi's tongue got locked inside her mouth, unable to answer his question.

She just stayed silent as she looked at the ground and without her noticing, tears dropping down from her eyes. Again.

She quickly wiped her wet cheeks with the hem of her uniform, bitting her lower lip to refrain the tears that was threatening to spill out of her eyes. She hates it to let people see her weakness, but it was useless when her tears couldn't stop flowing out of her eyes.

"Mind to share your problem with me?" Hesitantly, he asked Seulhi who was softly sobbing beside him. "Its okay, I don't force you." Seulhi just kept on crying and he felt the sudden urge of wanting to hug and comfort her so bad but he knew, she'll push him away.

"Hey, do you want to hear a story? Don't answer me, I'll tell you anyway." He started as he positioned himself, facing Seulhi who was crying by his side.

"Before that, hold this first." He placed the teddy on her hand and Seulhi held it for him. Despite getting no glance from Seulhi, a smile still managed to form on his face as Seulhi didn't refuse to hold the bear for him.

"This story happened to this one girl back to my childhood time." He told and soon stopped for awhile to look at Seulhi whether she's still okay to listen to his story or not.

"We have the same age but she never notice me because everyone wants to be her friends. Whoever got to be her friend was something that people would envy of. I've tried to approach her but we weren't in the same class. So, the probability for me to be her friend was so close to impossible until I finally gave up and just adored her from a far."

He tilted his head and tried to look at Seulhi in the eyes through those pair of spectacles, "You know why people want to be her friend?"

With a small sob, Seulhi shook her head slightly.

"She's beautiful." He stated. "She's cute. She's so damn pretty. She got that type of body shape which made guys to think nothing but to have her in their... bed. You know what I mean, right? Even though she just sit and doing nothing, people would still called her hot, especially guys. Most of the seniors tried to get her attention but she never sees it. Not even once."

"She really played hard to get." Jimin continued. "The only guy who can be close to her was her best friend and the rest are all girls."

Seulhi sobbed softly as she brought the teddy bear near to her stomach, holding it firmly. For no reasons, Seulhi's heart started to beat faster than it usually does as she listened to his words.

"And you know what happened to her after that?" Seulhi closed her eyes tight, her trembling hands fiddling with the hem of her skirts and she shook her head.

She's scared. She's scared to listen further but she'd to.

"They planned to gang-rape her."
