Too Much That it Hurts

It hurts

“KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER, BASTARD!!!”

There stood Sooyoung with fire in her eyes. The drunkard was late to react after the tall girl pulled him by his collar already with her both hands.

“Oh. Hik.. another.. hik sexy girl… hik.. Let me hik.. do.. hik..your friend.. hik.. first..

 After that.. hik.. I can.. hik.. do you…” The man said while his hands tried to roam around Sooyoung’s body.

“Bastard!”

Feeling more angry, Sooyoung kicked perfectly his stomach, hard enough to make him fly and crash his back to the wall.

After inhaling and exhaling, she turned her eyes to where Jessica was. The shorter girl was sitting on the corner of the street trembling, with her tears still rolled down.

Sooyoung quickly approached and kneeled in front of her.

“Sica, are you alr-“

Before she could finish her question, a big strong hand pulled her arm to the back. It was the drunk man. In a quick move, a hard punch landed on Sooyoung’s cheek, making some bloods strained out from Sooyoung’s mouth. The power made her body thrown to the ground with a loud bang. Due to the crash, her glasses left her face and flied to the ground.

“That’s for.. hik.. get in.. hik.. my business..” He said, still in drunk state

He walked to where Sooyoung was falling, and purposely stepped on Sooyoung’s glasses until it broke. He then pulled Sooyoung up by her collar and sent another punch on her temple, making another blood produced from her face.

“That’s for… hik…kicking my stomach…hik so hard..” He added while chuckling.

In between the battle, the rain started to pour. The drunkard was ready to make another punch again to Sooyoung’s face, but fortunately the girl could dodge it and finally took off his other hand from her collar. After making some distance, she turned around a little and showed off her taekwondo ability by sending a super powerful back kick. The man was sent to crash the ground hard and left unconscious.

Jessica’s POV

I keep sitting down on the corner of the street when Sooyoung is fighting with the drunkard. I flinched and my tears rolled down more than it has been when she was being punched. I hate why it had to be her to save me. I don’t want to have more attachment to her after all that had happened between us. I need to control or even erase all my feelings for her. I want to prove that I can do everything just fine without her. But in the end, she knock me on my feet, keep me wrap around her fingers.

The rain is starting to pour, and in the middle of the blur my tears and the rain made to my eyes, I can still see that Sooyoung is going to be beaten again.  I close my eyes and bit my lower lip hard, hoping that the hurt will not be too much for her to handle.

But when I open my eyes again, she already dodged the man’s punch and gave him a great back kick. The similar back kick she used in last sparring. The drunkard sent flying and hit the ground hard, unconscious after that. After panting a while, Sooyoung back approaches me running.

“Are you okay?” She asks in a much worried face while cupping my wet cheeks.

And that makes me afraid.
