Love Ain't Easy (Bigbang & 2NE1)

Chapter 6 - The Truth

Bom's POV

A year had passed but still there’s no change on how Seung Hyun treats me. He still avoids me. I never even had a minute of conversation with him. We’re still on the basic greetings and ask-this-ask-that type of conversation. Though sometimes I caught him staring at me and all I can do is smile at him, but he never smiles back at me. It hurts my pride. I always give him a nice warm smile but all I get from him are glares. Nothing more. Nothing less. It sucks big time. I never had the guts to approach and talk to him. Whenever I do a move he glares at me, and that’s when I back out. I don’t know if he hates me, coz I don’t see hate on his eyes. I see sadness.

“Hello! Bommie to Earth! Tschk! Tschk!” Bae calls out as he imitates an astronaut.

He’s always interrupting me when I’m alienating. Aish.~~ “Hey!” I responded.

“I’m nervous noona!” Bae told me as he wipes his sweating forehead.

“Aish! It’s normal to be nervous, it’s your first time.” I told him while I fixed his jacket. “But seriously you’ve got to get a grip of your nervousness. You’re ruining your BAEby face. You should be excited more.” I added as I emphasized the word BABY, making a pun on his name.

“I can’t help it! She’s the only one that can make me nervous like this.” He said with a nervous smile. “Remember when I first saw her?” he added.

I remember it was the strangest thing that I ever saw. Well for Bae’s case it was the strangest thing he did. It’s my first time to see him like that.

Flashback

“And I’m Sandara Park.” The petite girl with an extremely agyeo aura greeted us.

I suddenly saw Bae who’s standing next to me sweat like a pig. I didn’t know why but it’s definitely not that hot that time, considering we’re in YG’s office. It surprised us all when out of the blue Bae burst out running off the office leaving us in shock.

“What was that??” I heard them uttered.

“I’ll go check him.” I told them as I left the room. I didn’t saw where Bae fled off but I knew where he would be. And I was right, he was at the 4th floor fire exit.

“Hey kid! What was that all about?!” I exclaimed as I sat beside him.

“It’s her.” He muttered.

“Nugu??” I asked.

“Dara. I mean Sandara.” He muttered again.

“So what’s up with her?” I asked.

“We used to know each other… When we’re young. She’s my protector. My guardian angel.” He told me still with a low voice.

“Protector?? Guardian angel??” I asked again.

“Deh! She used to protect me from my bullies. Since she’s older and a girl, the bullies would back off.” He explained. I kept quiet, letting him know that I wanted to hear more.

“She would always walk me home. Since we’re on the same school and same neighborhood it became our routine. She would cook for me, hang out with me, be my noona, and she taught me to stand up for myself. No, ani~~ not for myself but for anyone that… that.. I cared about.” He said with a cracked voice. I patted his back, not saying any words.

“Until that day came. I went to her house and I saw her lying on the floor. Beaten up. Black eyed, bruised, and bleeding. I didn’t know what to do. I ran off, I was afraid.” He continued as he getting teary eyed.
