Troublemakers

Chapter 13

Yunhyeong's POV

When I opened my eyes, I noticed a blurred figure next to me.

"Yunhyeong?" I heard the familiar voice, I focused my vision, understanding it's Chanwoo.

God, what happened...?

I tried to sit, holding my head, but a hand pushed me to lie back down.
"Don't move. Let me call someone." Chanwoo said.

"Where... where are we...?" I asked him quietly.

"Hospital. You passed out so they called an ambulance. I came here with you while the director contacted your parents. Your mom said she's on her way."

My... Mom?

Oh god no. She's going to murder me. I got so much scolding from her for not eating enough during those weeks and I'm definitely going to get lectured.

Not to say I'm making her worry because of my stupid actions.

"I... Thanks..." I mumbled.

"Why did you take it so far?"

"Huh? Took what?" I asked him confused.

"The diet. You didn't need to lose so much weight."

I didn't know what to say. I really don't know why. I guess I was stressing enough at school because it's the last year, and then there's Jinhwan, who isn't actually a stress source, but more of a worry one.

There was the whole thing with Donghyuk and how I feel I'm in his way, and obviously the whole role thing and Chanwoo. My number one stress source.

All of this building up over the management telling me to lose weight so I...

It simply was too much. And it broke me.

"Here, the doctor said you should eat something sweet after waking up." he said as he handed me a chocolate bar.

I looked at it before looking at him, hesitating.

Why was he being nice to me? Why was he acting like he cares? Why was he still here with me?

I'm fine. He can leave. There's no reason for him to stay.

"I'm fine..." I looked away, "you can go home."

"I'm staying until your mom comes." he insisted, making sure I'm eating the chocolate he gave me.

I stayed quiet, looking at the chocolate bar before taking it and breaking a small piece, eating it slowly. I really didn't want to, but I didn't have many options.

"I'm sorry." I said after a minute or two of silence. "I ruined our shooting..."

"No, the idiot who told you to lose weight did."

Huh?

I looked at Chanwoo a bit confused. Was he actually trying to defend me? Did he really mean it?

Can it be possible I'm seeing here the old Chanwoo I liked so much?

I looked at the chocolate bar, breaking another small piece. I shouldn't get my hopes out. A little act of kindness doesn't mean he's his old self again.

"Don't forget to drink as well." he said as he also gave me a bottle of water.

'Stop being nice to me.' I thought, hesitantly reaching for the water bottle. 'Who says you won't try to trip me tomorrow or let your stupid friends bully me again?'

The next day I got scolded by Donghyuk in the car as he drove us both to school.

"Losing weight like that. What were you thinking? We all were worried sick when you told us you're in the hospital!"

"I'm sorry... " I said quietly, looking down. I hate being yelled at. I hate being scolded. Donghyuk had every right to be mad at me, though. It was stupid.

He sighed deeply. "I'm just glad you're okay... to be honest." he said.

I didn't tell him that Chanwoo was with me. If I did, he'd say I can't even get my hopes up and won't let him get close to me apart of the filming.  

Speaking of the filming...

My mom called the director and told him I'll be getting a few days off, so now they'd be filming the scenes which I'm not in.

This made me feel bad. I make my friend worry, I make my mom worry and now I'm interrupting the shooting schedule.

"No, the idiot who told you to lose weight did."

I remembered what Chanwoo told me. Did he mean it? Was he actually trying to cheer me up by saying that? Or was he saying that to make me shut up and stop apologizing?

I walked with Donghyuk to meet Jinhwan and Jiwon, they were next to Jiwon's locker, talking before they noticed us.

"What? No Hanbin?" Donghyuk teased.

"He's sick." Jiwon sighed. "I'm going to his place after school."

"He caught a cold?" I asked him to which he nodded. Looks like Jiwon really cares about him if he's willing to go and take care of him.

"Ugh... here we go again..." Jinhwan said annoyed as he noticed Chanwoo and Minho walking to our direction.

It looks like they didn't have too much interest in us this morning.

I groaned as Chanwoo tackled me as he passed by me. This jerk.

But then I noticed something that wasn't in my coat pocket before. It was chocolate...

I lifted my head to look at him, seeing he's looking at me with something that looked like concern before walking away with Minho.

I looked at the chocolate, frowning. Did Chanwoo just... Place it in my pocket?

What the hell, is he going to feed me chocolate now because of one incident?

But... It was actually kind of sweet of him if he was worried. He was still being an ass, though.

I put it back in my pocket, deciding to save it for later. I really should start returning to eating normally.

It really wasn't healthy what I was doing, but if I didn't pass out, would Chanwoo act like he's acting now?

'Stop, you're getting your hopes up. This Chanwoo is dead.'

Right. He's dead. He has done so many terrible things in the last three years that I can't understand how the hell it's the same kid I met back then. I should stay away from him. I should forget about him.
