It's Just A Love Song || Joshua Hong [Book 1 - Smile Flower]

02

It was already the next day, and I was ready to tell her why I didn't text her... As if she'd care.

I walked into class and saw her sleeping on her desk, as I walked next to her, I slammed my hand on her desk and ran to my chair pretending like nothing happened. She jumped and looked at me with furious eyes.

-"You're dead!" she got up as fast as she could and ran to my desk.

I quickly got up and started running all around the class like a little kid. She ran after me, having trouble breathing since she was laughing so much.

After a moment, I heard a huge banging sound. I quickly turned around and saw Sanghee on the floor holding her arm. I rushed to her and asked her if she was okay. She looked at me like 'are you really asking that', and took her uninjured hand and helped her up. I started walking her towards the nurse's office, I looked at her holding her arm and saw blood on her hand that was holding it. After I saw that, I walked even faster.

After a short minute of walking towards the nurse's office, we finally reached it. I opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman looking at Sanghee's arm, concerned.

-"Oh no! What happened?" she went to her and removed her hand from her bloody arm.

-"We were running and she fell."

Sanghee POV

-"We were running and she fell."

I could hear how worried he was, what a fool!

My arm was hurting so much, but I was too distracted by the one question that was spinning in my head...

Will I be able to draw?

After about an hour, she treated my arm and wrapped a bandage around my injury.

-"Is this the hand you write with?" she asked pointing at my hurting arm.

-"Yea..."

-"If you can, try not to put too much pressure on it. Or try to write with the other hand," she suggested.

I nodded and looked at Joshua that still had a concerned look on his face. I laughed at his face and lightly slapped him.

-"Stop looking at me like that!" I got up.

-"Like what?" his expression suddenly changed.

-"Like you care!" I laughed.

-"Excuse me, Sanghee?" the nurse said.

-"Yea,"

-"Would you mind calling your parents so they come to pick you up?" she added.

-"Oh, they're busy..." I rushed to say.

-"Oh! Then Joshua, would you be a dear and walk her home. Make sure she gets good rest..." she smiled at him.

-"But I'm fine, I can stay at school!" I snapped.

-"Sure I'll do it." Joshua took my uninjured arm and walked away.

-"What are you doing?" I tried pulling my hand away but failed.

He didn't care. He took me to the classroom and told me to wait outside as he left to go get my stuff. He came back a minute later with my bag in his hand. I tried to take it but he pulled it away as soon as he saw what I was trying to do. I sighed and started walking towards the school exit. He ran behind me and finally reached me.

-"Man you walk fast!" he exclaimed.

I was pissed and so I just rolled my eyes and looked away.

-"What is this... Rolling your eyes at me! Not on my watch!" he took my chin and turned my face so I'd face him.

I slapped his hand away and looked back at what I was looking for.

-"How dare you!-"I cut him off before he could say anything else.

-"CAN YOU SHUT UP!" I finally turned around with my face burning in anger.

-"Why are you pissed?" he asked in such a sweet voice that I felt bad for the way I spoke to him.

-"Because I told her I was fine and that I could go on with the day... but no! Now I have to go home to no one and nothing! Plus I miss the best class, ART!!"

-"Oh." he didn't know what to say.

-"Look I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you, but technically it's all your fault that I got injured in the first place!!" I remembered which made me even more pissed, but this time towards him.

-"My fault?!" he was shocked by my words.

-"Yea, you HAD to wake me up from my peaceful nap!" I exclaimed, which made him laugh a little.

-"It was your choice to run after me stupid!" he lightly hit my head on the side.

-"I can't believe it..."

"What?!" he asked.

-"You don't even feel bad for what you did! Look at my ARM! Now we'll probably fail the English project because I can't draw and you can't either!" I said, and it made him laugh once again.

-"You're such a fool, we need to give it to the teacher in at least 2 months!" he ruffled my dark hair.

Again slapped his hands off and stared straight into his eyes...

-" I have something to ask, AND you can't say no!" I said.

-"What is it?" he sighed.

-"Will you spend the rest of the day at my house with me... So I won't be alone?" I asked like a sweet little girl.

-"Sure! There's nothing interesting today anyways!" he smiled with his eyes.

My heart just skipped a beat, is that normal?
