Assassin or Guardian? [ON-HOLD]

Chapter 11 - Reconciliation

*I.M's POV*

"You don't have to accuse me that way." - Jungha said. 

"Accuse? If that was me accusing you then would you please enlighten me on your part of the story? Oh wait, you don't share stories with people who you are not close with..." - I sassed. She didn't know the pain I had to go through after she left. The 3 painful years of constant bullying until I met Jooheon hyung.

 "Will you please let me explain!?" - Jungha shouted. I shrugged and sat on her table.

"Yes, he did send one of his guys to save you. I wanted to, but my appa was waiting for me Changkyun. I wanted to follow this guy and save you, but my appa's guards caught me and pulled me away. I can't do anything, Kyun! I can't! And yes, I said you can fight for yourself. Because I believe that you can. I had that much trust in you, Changkyun. You've seen me fight, and I thought you learnt a thing or two from seeing me. You always said that you will learn from seeing me, so I trusted that you did. Yes, I said you were too much. You were too cowardly. You can't rely on me every time, Changkyun. Because I won't always be there." - There, she said it. 

I was cowardly. Basically what that guy said was true.

"I didn't have a choice but to leave you, Kyun. You know how my appa is. He wanted to get rid of you, if I don't leave you. I know my appa. We know my appa. We both know what I mean by get rid. So I risked you getting bullied over my appa getting rid of you. I always hoped that someone else saves you and stays with you. And appa made me change school in a different district, so I can't come and save you even if I want to. " 

"But you still left me, Jungha. You left me... That's what matters right now..."

"God damn it. Are you even listening right now?! Would you rather get killed than bullied?!" - Jungha shouted and pushed me off her table.

"Honestly, yes... At least the bullying would have stopped..." - I said and looked down. The Jungha I know is way different. 

"I'm sorry I left you, kkukkung. I don't mean to. I just wanted you to be safe. And leaving you was the safest bet I had at that moment  And at least, you are noticed by the crowd in a different light now. What do you want me to do to show how sorry I am?"

"Punch me." If she is really sorry, she wouldn't punch me yet. She'll hold it as long as possible and punch me when she thinks I deserve a deadly punch. Because no matter how bad ass this girl is, she has to have one soft spot.

And that is me.

I'm her weakness. The only weakness she has.

"What?"

"You heard me, Kim Jungha. Punch me and show how sorry you are." - I taunt her. 

"Are you seriously challenging me right now, Im Changkyun?" That's not my Jungha. I looked away and I stand to leave. The moment I turned away, I was attacked.

  With a hug...  

"Bitch, that hurts." 

"Would you rather get punched by me or get a tight ass hug from me?"

"I'd prefer the latter."

"You already got it even before you said anything, dummy..."

Kim Jungha...

You're still cute as ever...

I looked at her and hugged her back as she buries her face in my chest. 

"Hey, would you buy me an ice cream later?" - I ask.

"This bitch..."

"I'm a bully now and I don't have money, okay? Got to ask my victim for it. " - I said in a-matter-of-fact kind of way.

"Just like how you ask for a punch?" - Jungha asked as she looks up with a smile on her face. 

"Just like how I asked for a punch." 

~~~

"Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or-"

"Kkukkung"

"Yep? Just get one of each if you're gonna be so indecisive."

"Well, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." - I said as I picked up all the kinds of flavour and dumped it in the cart.

"Do you want to go to school together tomorrow?" - I asked.

"Maybe. But you know... Appa... He is getting stricter nowadays and I really want to slap the living shit out of him sometimes but I can't do that because I'm a good daughter. Right, kkukkung?" - Jungha said with a tinge of sarcasm.

"Of course. You're the best daughter in the world." - I played along.

"Well, thank you, my dear servant." - She said, making me turn my head.

"Wow, I'm a servant now? Is this what our friendship of 9 years goes right now? Excluding the part where you left." - I asked.

Jungha shakes her head, laughed and walked away with the cart. 

"Ya! Where are you going? Come back! We have some friendship problem to deal with, okay?!" - I shouted.

"Crazy kid." - I heard someone say. I turned and see an elderly picking up things as she shakes her head. 

Mind your own business oldie. Once Jungha paid for the ice creams, we decided to stop by a playground and sort which ice cream both of us wants. Both of us were chatting, reminiscing our time together until someone else said something, making me turn.

"Young Lady Jungha. Boss wants you home. Right now." - A tall big body guy said, emphasizing on 'now'. She really means it when she said her appa is getting stricter.

"I'll leave in a few. You should leave first. Don't try to hide around to wait for me to move. You know I can find you either way." - Jungha said without looking. The tall big body guy bowed and left the place.

"So... Would you share with me your story now or am I still in the 'not close to Jungha' category?" - I asked.

"Do you seriously think I categorise people like that?" - She asked back. I smiled at her and nod my head.

"You're really like a puppy but you're extra dumb. In that case, you, Im Changkyun, Kkukkung, Kim Jungha's one and only treasured servant, is in the 'extremely close to Jungha that she can never push you away unless she has no choice' category. To put simply, you're in the 'my bitch' category. And, I will share my story with you." - She said.

"Are you like finally opening up to me right now?" - I asked, doubting my hearing skills.

"Yes, I.M. And I realise people call you I.M instead of Changkyun, so after my story, you're gonna share yours, okay dummy?" - Jungha said. I nodded my head and waited for her to start. But got surprised when she stands instead.

"What? You're not gonna be a good guy friend who walks me home and listens to my story now?" - Jungha said. Gosh, this bitch. She's full of surprises.
