The Transfer Student

Chapter 4

By now I was getting used to having Joshua around me. He still was a jerk and a playboy pervert, don't get me wrong but it was getting more and more natural for me to be around him. 

"Jaehyo, would you like to come with us for a minute?" Two girls from Sowoo's gang approached me. 

"Why would I. Anyways I'm busy, so, I'd prefer it if you'd leave me alone." I said coldly.

"We're not letting you off that easily." The other one said as both of them took me under arm. I was unable to shake them off. 

"Let me go!" I said as the two of them dragged me away. "You two are going to regret it. What do you want with me. Just say it. Maybe I'll even hear you out."

"B*tch, you just don't get it, do you?" Sowoo laughed a bit before continuing. "We've been patient for over a week. We've already given you a warning and you still cling to Joshua!" 

"Like I said before: you can take him for all I care. This way my life would be back to normal how I liked it, so go ahead." 

"You say that, now that you're scared. These are empty words. We in fact know that you want to keep him all to yourself you slut!" Sowoo said as she pushed me into a storage room. "Suits you right!" I could do nothing but watch as she shut the door. I was now trapped in darkness.

Who do they think they are?! I tried to stand up. "Ah. I think I hit my head a little too hard." I said quietly to myself. My head was spinning every time I tried to move. I'm going to be late for sure. What do I do now. The door is locked. I clearly don't have enough energy to bang on the door or shout.

Not having much options I decided to just sit down and wait until a cleaner or some students would come open the storage room needing some equipment. What's even worse is that The room doesn't have a light switch and I'm not a big fan of dark. 

Someone was bound to need some cleaning equipment today. I could be let out anytime now. In stead of the pain fading it only got stronger by each second. I started to feel very light headed and although the room was already dark it was getting darker and darker. 

~Joshua's P.O.V~

Where is Jaehyo, she should be here by now. She might have just slept in, although that is very unlike her, but it also might be a good thing I would guess, after all the studying she does every night. 

As I was getting worried, Sowoo and her gang came in. "Jihyun. Have you seen Jaehyo anywhere today at all?" I asked the closest girl next to me from the trio. 

"Joshua, your Korean is very good, how did you learn so fast?" Jihyun smiled. "But as to Jaehyo we haven't seen her yet. Maybe she's late or off sick."

"If she doesn't show up, you could always ask one of us to translate to you or hang out at lunch." Sowoo added.

"Sowoo, as you can hear my Korean is quite alright, I don't think I'll be needing your help anytime soon. But it is very nice of you to offer." I smiled trying not to sound mean. "It was nice talking to you girls, but I'll go wait outside for Jaehyo. Maybe she's just running late." 

"But you don't have to. It's quite cold outside. You might get sick. We can keep you company until she'd show up." Sowoo said.

"Be honest with me now please." I bent down so my and Minjin's eyes would be on the same level. "Did any of you have anything to do with Jaehyo not being here right now? I would be very grateful if you'd be honest with me"  

"Why would you accuse us of such a low thing?! Why would we?" Minjin denied. In her voice it was very clear that she was nervous. 

Without saying anything I left the classroom. I kept on ringing her as I ran through the school. "What were the three of them even thinking?"  The call ended I called again. "Come on Jeahyo, where are you? Answer the phone." 

I Kept on calling her when suddenly I heard a faint music in the storage room "Jaehyo, is that you?" I knocked. There was no answer so I opened the door, only to find Jaehyo lying unconscious. I pulled her out and lied her down on flat floor. At least she was breathing. She must have fainted from fear. I hope. I tapped he cheek a little hoping she'd wake up. "Jaehyo, wake up. come on. Wake up. Everything's alright now. I'm here. Jaehyo." She, however, didn't respond. 

I decided to pick her up and carry her to the nurse's office. When I picked her up I could see blood where her head was seconds ago. "Oh no. This looks bad." 

I wasted no time and rushed to the nurse's office. "Is the nurse here. My friend is hurt pretty badly." I said trying to be as calm as possible. 

The nurse came up to me. "What happened to her?"

"Well basically, I found her locked in a storage room and she is bleeding from the head." 

"Alright thank you for bringing her here. You can go back to the class." She said.

"Can I please stay here with her?"

"No. She's going to be alright, but you must go back to your class."

"Okay, thank you. Please take care of her then." I gave the nurse a slight smile as I left. What were the three of them thinking. Who know's what could have happened to Jaehyo if someone wouldn't have found her in time. 

I checked up on Jaehyo every brake and avoided Sowoo's gang as much as possible. She was unconscious for almost three hours but the nurse told her to rest until the end of the day. It wasn't like she was able to properly walk anyways, however I could imagine how much she must have argued to go  back to the class, just the thought makes me laugh a bit.

After the last period I went to the the nurse's office to get Jaehyo. "Hi, sleepy head. It's time to go home." I said as I walked up to her bed.
