My name's Quinine, Kim Quinine.

Ever since I was a newborn, my parents left me with my gandparents with nothing else but just my name and a silver butterfly necklace. Harabeoji and Halmeoni always showered me with lots of love until Halmeoni passed away. Harabeoji was never the same, once a kindhearted caring elderly to drunkard whom abused little animals and kids.

Also, Harabeoji never liked me bringing up my parents, there was once when I asked him about my father and he gave me a tight slap on my cheek.

"A man who leaves and abandon his child has no worth of being labelled as a father."

That was when I started forgetting about them, their name and whoever they are. Not even a single memory of them.

This year, Harabeoji is getting older and weaker, I've never seen him smile in so long and I missed that.

"I'm calling you my Queen from now," His deep husky seducing voice made my heart pound faster and I gulped when he kissed my earlobe.

Now do you understand why he is our school's hot topic? Why dumb girls fall for him? This is the reason why, and his name is non other than the legendary Park Chan Yeol.

Lesson started and he loosened his grip on my hair. I looked away for a second to cool myself down and the moment I swung my head back to face him, he already had his head resting on his table with his pure angelic face.

I too laid my head on my table and turned myself to face him, admiring his sharp features.

Who knew this bad boy looked so adorable in his sleep?

Smiling to myself as I studied his face, I felt a pang in my heart and shut both my eyes. Why does he make me feel special and then treats me like I'm invisible? Why this hot and cold treatment?

Inhaling deeply, I sat back up and pinched my cheek to wake myself up. There's no schedule for puppy love now, I don't have much time.

"Ya Jiwon, teach me this question." I pointed the at the page filled with wordings with the tip of my pen while taking a fry from it's family.

"Sub 'x' into the 'y' then use cosine 'x' over αβ. Then you get your answer, understand?" Shaking my head vigorously and banging it on the table a few times, then I ruffled my hair in annoyance.

"Nope, sorry Jiwon. My dumbass just doesn't get it." She chuckled slightly and patted my back, "Let's call it a day."

We packed our items and left the fastfood restaurant with bloated tummies. I felt a lightning like pain striking my stomach and I threw my books to Jiwon as I spotted a restroom, "I'll be back real quick!"

I found an empty cubical and quickly slammed the door shut, stripping off my shorts to meet an urgent customer.

After spending roughly ten minutes having a meeting with my client, I emptied both my tummy and the bowl with relief. Washing my hands and heading out of the bathroom, what I saw before me had me stunned.

"Jiwon!" Dashing over to Jiwon who was laying on the pavement, I had her in my gasps and rocked her to both sides.

Her arm was ice cold and I wrapped my fingers around them, then I felt something warm and metallic. Flipping her arm towards me, I let out a cry and the gates of my eyes opened without warning.

Crimson liquid was oozing out from her wrists and placed my palm over her wound, applying​ pressure on it. The carvings on her wrist made my heartache. Swiping out my phone, I pressed the screen of my mobile and dialed for the ambulance.

Jiwon's eyelids were heavy and her eyes were just about to close when her pupils dilatedand her iris rolled to the back of her head.

Having her head in my arms, I rubbed her cheeks and kissed her forehead.

"Jiwon! No no,  Jiwon, don't you dare shut your eyes."
