After lunch, I walk Hyunji to her class. I pass by my class but Jihoon is not sitting on his seat anymore.

"What's with the giraffe's neck?" Hyunji asks as if it was a tease.

"Nahh, nothing," I laugh and she smiles.

"Go on and study hard," I push her into her class and walk back into my class. I sit on the spot I used to sit next to Jihoon's. I sway my leg back and forth while waiting for Jihoon.

Right before the bell rings, Jihoon comes back with a few pieces of paper in his hand. He sees me and smiles immediately. He walks to me and sits next to my seat.

"Here," He hands me the papers and I read the title. Yearly Camping Event Form.

"Oh, you took it for me?" I ask and he nods.

"I have mine here too," He shows me another form. "Fill them up. I'll send it to the teacher after school," He says and take a pen to fill the form. I take a black pen from my pencil case and fill in the form such as my name, parents' name and others.

"But I need to get permission from my parents or guardian," I say while pointing to the 'Parents'/Guardian Permission (Signature)'.

"Oh, you can just fill in Mino's name. Ask him to give his signature and I'll bring you to someone who is excellent in imitating signature." He says and continue to fill in his form.

"Hmm.. what about you? Whose signature will you get?" I ask as I know that he had no longer have his parents.

"Me? Of course Mr. Kim's," He smiles at me as if nothing happens.

"Sorry, but don't you want to share with me what happened?" I ask again. He stops writing and stare blankly at the paper.

[Park Jihoon's POV]

I stop writing as the question came out from her mouth. I stare at the paper blankly in hesitation.

"My mother died while giving birth to me and my father died out of cancer around 5 years ago," I say in a simple yet full of informations sentence. I smile at her and take a deep breath.

"So.. you've been alone since you're 14 years old?" She asks again and I just look at her and nod.

"I'm sorry if I asked to much.. please, I don't want to ruin your mood," She pleads while holding my arm with her left hand.

"*cough* Are you done with that?" I ask after I put down my pen and pick up my papers.

"Oh, yeah. Just the signature part," She says.

"Give me the picture of Mino's signature and I'll settle it by myself," I say and she nods. I take her papers and put in under my desk. I feel bad for not telling her everything about myself but I'm just not ready.. although I know that I love her very much.

The teacher comes in and I can't stop thinking about how should I tell her about myself. Maybe she knew everything about my physicals and appearance, but she didn't know a bit of what's inside me. What pain I've been through... Those painful moments that I can't never forget.

After the class end, I stand up and take the form with me. I didn't wait for her but I walk out from class instead. I meet Daehwi on the way to my locker so I tell him to sign the form just like the same picture I send to him.

"Bring them tomorrow or you'll be dead," I say and walk away.

I run to the bus stop as I know that the bus must've arrived already. The bus nearly move but I shout my lungs out to the bus instructor. He stops and I get in. I can see that Haneul is sitting alone in the twin seat lane but I decided to sit on the single lane. I think it's best that I avoid her for a while as I don't want her to feel sorry for asking me about my parents. Because it was all my fault for not being honest to her.

I didn't realize that I was staring blankly at the clock on the bus until the bus stops and arrive in front of my residential stop. I come out without looking at Haneul once more. I walk straight forward to my house and greet Mr. Kim. I flash him a smile as I don't want him to think that anything bad happened to me and I don't want him to pour me with questions.

I take a long shower as I was still thinking about how should I tell Haneul about my parents. I know that it is not her fault but I don't want her to pity me. I hate it when someone pity me.

That's why I decided to be a playboy and the school's bad boy because I know that no one would ever dare to become close to me and they wouldn't dare to ask me such personal questions. But yeah, Haneul is different. Her aura is so attractive that I can't even get mad at her and I can't let her feel sad. I want her to treat me like the same person I was before she knew. She may have feels sorry for me and starts to do weird things.

After shower, I try to do my homework, thinking that I would forget about Haneul but I just made it worst. I look at the Physics reference book and I immediately think of her because she was the one who jot down the notes into my book and she would scribbles the empty spot in my reference boom. I shout in frustration in my room and ruffle my wet hair.

Stop thinking of her! Park Jihoon! You need to be brave and tell her. If she loves you, she would never treat you differently and she would still love you no matter what happen.

I end up lying on my bed and fall asleep till the next morning.
