NOBODY [YutaSorn]

Chapter 2

Hyejin pulled her hoodie over to cover her face as she walked across the campus. Seeing him at home was enough now that Hansol became friends with him. So she wanted to try her best avoiding him at university. Having a jerk come over almost everyday meant total wreck for her. Though her family liked him, no one noticed how he was 'killing' her secretly.

Hyejin reached her English class, and sat at a corner to be as unnoticeable as possible. The class was small since this was just an extra lesson a few students took to brush up on the language. It was almost like a school room. She took out her things and sat revising what they did last class, when she heard a loud crash in front. Looking up, Hyejin saw Tateishi Yunu on the floor, with a hover-board. Some students laughed while others only stared at him. Hyejin chuckled quietly.

"Serves him right."

What she didn't notice is that her face could now be seen as she was looking in front, and Yunu was already sitting next to her.

"Funny, was it?" she froze as the boy whispered into her ear, and she could see him smirk at her reaction through the corner of her eyes. Hyejin turned away back to her books, and the teacher soon came in.

Class started, and Hyejin was on full focus mode as usual, when she felt something on her shoulder. She peeked to see Yunu sleeping, leaning against her. She shook her shoulder to get him off, but he kept getting closer instead. The teacher cleared his throat, and Hyejin knew she was done for.

"Ms. Ong, Mr. Tateishi. I think we know very well I will not tolerate flirting in my class."

"Sir, he's asleep..." when she turned to look, Yunu had his eyes opened, and their position made it seem as if they really were flirting.

"Is he now? Why don't you and your boyfriend leave the class and let him sleep somewhere else." Yunu stood up and walked out, while Hyejin only stared at him, pissed off at what he did. She gathered her things and went out of class, and found Yunu leaning against the wall, watching her.

"Coming to my house isn't enough? Do you have to piss me off here too?"

"It's fun pissing you off, because you get pissed of easily." he started walking while Hyejin only looked at him. She stood against the class wall, when she heard him again.

"You staying? Hah. It's as if you want to be embarrassed." she realised what he meant. If she stood there, people passing by would know she was kicked out of class. Not knowing what to do, she quietly followed Yunu down the hallways. They were soon outside, and Yunu sat on a bench in the field.

Hyejin only looked around, not knowing what to do. English was the final class, so she could go home, but her family would question her early return. Plus, students usually don't leave early until the end of the day, and there was an hour left until most uni classes ended.

She sat on the ground and decided to just do some sketching. She continued drawing clothes she was designing, and a smile crept on her face. Hyejin was the happiest when designing new things as it reminded her of her mother. She was always sewing clothes for her and her sister instead of buying them, and they would always come out unique.

As she sketched, she suddenly felt a presence next to her, and saw Yunu watching her draw. She looked back and continued, ignoring his presence. But that was getting harder as she could feel he kept getting closer. Hyejin was thankful it was already dismissal time, and she quickly got up
to go home, leaving Yunu laughing at her.

Yunu entered his house, slumping onto the couch with his backpack still on. University was no joke, and he was sick and tired of it. But he knew that he had to keep his promise to his family, that he would fulfill his childhood dream. His parents never liked the idea as they were not well off enough to support him, but they did what they could, and he promised to get a full scholarship for university, which he did. Yunu may look like a useless student, but he is actually really smart. He just doesn't like showing it.

"Yunu! Are you there?" he heard Hansol's voice, and went to the kitchen to open the back door. Hansol stood there looking rushed, and he tried running into the house when Yunu stopped him.

"Wait. What are you doing here?"

"NothingIjustwanttospendtimewithyoucuzyourecoolan..." he spoke really fast to get in, but it was too late, as Yunu looked over the fence.

"ONG HYEJIN!"

Heesun tried to do something, but their father was scary in his angry state and she could only watch as he dragged her sister out to the backyard, and threw her. She tried to go near her, but Sihun put his hand up stopping her. Hyejin slowly got up and dusted off the dirt from her clothes, resisting to look up at all. She peeked through the corner of her eyes, and saw a random door close, before Sihun's voive took over.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EMBARRASSING IT IS FOR THE FAMILY THAT YOU GOT KICKED OUT OF CLASS!?! YOU DISGRACEFUL CHILD!" she suddenly felt something hit her, and her clothes getting heavier. She covered her face, but the force of the hose was too strong, she ended up falling down and getting muddy.

She doesn't know if it was tears or water going down her cheeks, but she couldn't hold her emotions anymore. The water stopped, and she peeked through her drenched hair to see Sihun throw the hose aside and go into the house. She tried to stand up, but slipped, getting more mud on her. She gave up, and just sat there crying.

Why do I even live? No one cares, except you mum... I wish you were still here... Without you, I'm just a nobody...

"Hyejin..." she looked up, and saw a hand reached out for her. She took it, and it pulled her up, but she slipped again, feeling too weak to get up. She felt another hand on her back, but lost all conciousness after that. The last thing she could make up was someone carrying her, and a car ride.

"Sis! You're awake!" Hansol held his sister's shoulders helping her sit up. Hyejin grabbed his arm as she looked around, eyes half closed. Her head hurt like she was hit by a baseball, and her legs felt really weak.

"What happened? Why am I in hospital?" she looked around and saw a nutrient pipe on her hand. Hansol held her hand to calm her down, and started to explain what had happened.

"You fainted when I tried to help you up, so we brought you here. You lacked alot of nutrients, and... Yeah, that's all I understood from the doctor." he scratched his head, unable to remember all the medical terms said by the doctor earlier. But he wasn't too worried since someone else already noted everything.

Hyejin sat up, wanting to go home, but Heesun came and scolded her lightly to stay until her session is over, which would be all night. She laid in the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, and remembered something.

Someone was carrying her to the car. But she couldn't figure out who. Maybe Heesun since Hansol was too young. She shook her head, set her mind that Heesun was the one, and fell asleep.
