Fix Her, Kyungsoo

2: Love can Heal

Kyungsoo's POV

I was called by my mom's close friend to come visit during the school day.

"Why the school day?" I had asked.

"You will see..."

///

"Ms. Lee, why did you call me here?"

Ms. Lee sighed, "It's about Eunji... You are Eunji's age and I think it will be easier for her to communicate with a kid her age..."

I nodded, I knew all too well about Eunji's trauma.

"The certified psychiatrists I hired did nothing, Eunji's trauma just worsened..."

Kyungsoo gave Ms. Lee his angelic look and flashed a knowing smile.

"But Ms. Lee, facts and certificates don't heal scars in the inside."

Ms. Lee raised an eyebrow,

"Then what does Kyungsoo?"

Kyungsoo pointed at his chest,

"Love heals it..."

Eunji's POV

"Eunji! I know you don't like men, but giving the teacher a trip to the hospital and earning yourself a one-week suspension? Not so smart..."

Naeun gave me a disapproving look as I pitifully looked at the ziplock holding my left shoe.

Was it really necessary to contaminate a pair of precious shoes with germs to kick a man?

"And is it really that bad if your shoes touched him? Its not going to poison you..."

I gave Naeun a hard stare that immediately shut her up.

"Yes. it. is."

I stared out of the bus's window and memories of everything started to flood back in my head.

"I could just die! I hate them, they hurt me and my mother..."

I salty tear ran down my face, soon one tear became a whole waterfall.

Naeun gave me a look of pity as she repeatedly patted my back as I sobbed to my heart's content.

Kyungsoo's POV

"Ms. Lee are you sure this is going to work?"

I nervously hid under the dinner table, waiting for Eunji to return from her school.

4:30...4:31...4:32...

Every minute that passed, another drop of sweat appeared on my face.

Suddenly a loud bang! of a door was heard.

"Mom I'm ho-Ome!" Yelled a sing-song voice.

I could here the steps her steps getting louder as she neared me.

"Mmm...Dinner smells good, is it spaghetti?"

I gulped, spaghetti requires a fork...

I closed my eyes and waited for my cue.

"I brought a friend for you Eunji!"

That was my cue, I slowly crept up and sat in my seat.

Eunji smiled,

"Hi nice to-" Her smile quickly faded, and was replaced by utter terror.

"AGH!"

Out of surprise and what I later found out was 'self-defense', she promptly threw her fork at me.

It barely missed my face and STUCK on the wall, one centimeter deep in.

I swallowed the last of moisture in my mouth as I tried to speak,

"Hi I'm...Um..." I dodged another coming fork.

"I'm Kyungsoo... Please don't hurt me!"

I threw my hands up in the air in surrender as I dodged a flying salt shaker.

"Eunji!" Ms. Lee glared at Eunji. "Be polite and show Kyungsoo around."

Eunji started to break out in sweat and sudden jerks of her body.

She flipped the dinner table, causing everything on it to spill onto the ground.

"Never!" She ran into her room and locked her door.
