You Finally Noticed

XXI. Back from the very start

"Are you alright?" Joo Young asked.

I just nodded. Im not in the mood to talk right now.

"No, you're not..." He said as he cupped my face.

I tried to keep on looking down but Joo Young lifts my face up.

"You're crying Mina." He said.

I shook my head and wipe my tears with the back of my hand.

"What did he do this time?" He asked. His eyes were flaring with forming anger.

"He didn't do anything. Dont worry..." I said.

Lies.

"Then why are you crying?" He asked.

"My feet are really aching eversince I came to school this morning." I reasoned out, trying to cover up Wonwoo.

He laughed and I look up to see him.

"You're crying because your feet hurts? That is a hundred times easier than your trainings and now...you're crying already." He said with a chuckle.

I didn't answer. I just pout.

"Yah! Yah! Dont trick me with that act!" He said.

That makes me smile.

"I am tricking no one." I said innocently.

"Aish! Fine, let's go now." He said as he bend down in front of me.

"Hop in." He said.

"Huh?"

He glared at me then he tapped his shoulder.

"Hop in. I'll take you to the clinic." He said.

Oh no, my feet doesn't really hurts.

I didn't have the chance to answer because he pulled me up already and I ended up riding his back.

It is still class hours. Good thing, because if the students will see us like this...it will become a big issue again.

No one's speaking between the two of us.

I remembered a moment like this when Im with Wonwoo. He is carrying me at his back as we ran because of the falling rain.

"Did you two already meet?" Joo Young suddenly asked.

"Yes." I said.

"And...?"

"Nothing more." I replied.

"Did you talked?" He asked again.

"No." I answered.

"I didn't expect that he'll come back. It surprised me." He said.

"I was surprised also. I thought he wouldn't come back forever." I said. There's a bitterness in my voice.

"Are you worried?"

"About what?" I asked.

"About....the two of you." He said.

"And what about us? We're over remember?"

"Yeah right...over." He said as he puts me down.

We're already in front of the clinic.

He turned to go but I stopped him.

"Joo Young?"

He turned to look at me again.

"You'll stay with me until the end right?" I asked with my thumping heart.
