"Please... I just want to talk."

I took several breaths. It felt as if i ran a whole marathon. Jung Hwan was staring at me. He looked a little terrified.

Does he think i'm desparate?

"What is wrong with you? Why can't you just leave me alone!?"

He shouts. It felt as if he was a different person from when we first met. My impression of him was that he was a quiet and shy kid. Why does he hate me so much?

"Y/n!"

I hear a shout that sounded like Doyoung coming from the hallway. I slowly walk towards Jung Hwan. He looked terrified.

Is he scared of me?

"Hey... I'm sorry if i scared-"

"Please don't come any closer!"

I stopped at my steps. He was fine when we first met but when he first heard my name and when i first sat next to him, he was scared as shit.

"Y/n! Stop!"

I turn around to see Doyoung out of breath as well. He came closer to me and pull me by the hand and drag me away from Jung Hwan.

"Yah! What are you doing?! That hurts!"

"More like what were you doing? Jung Hwan looks scared as shit!"

"I didn't do anything!"

I look back at Junghwan who was taking deep breaths. Did i scared him that much? No... more like why was he scared?

"Is he... scared of me?"

"Scared of you?... you? I mean you are pretty scary when you pop out of nowhere."

"That's because of coincidences! Anyways, i just wanted to ask him a few things..."

Doyoung stared at me for a few seconds before grinning. He then pat my back and wink. He gives me an okay sign.

"Okay okay... I see what you gotta do gurl. Tell me the tea later."

He leaves the classroom looking smug. I rolled my eyes. He clearly misunderstood but i ain't gonna waste my time on his dumb ass. I turn back to Junghwan.

"Are you afraid of me?"

He looked down. He stayed silent.

"I guess you are... i don't mean any harm... I'm sorry i scared you. If i had known sooner, i would not have chased after you-"

"Then, will you leave me alone?"

"Nope."

I still need to make you feel love.

"I thought so..."

He sat down on the floor of the classroom.  Did he finally calmed down? I shouldn't go near him yet. I took a sit in one of the seats.

"If you don't mind, can you tell me why you are afraid of me?"

"I'm not just afraid of you... I just hate girls like you."

"Girls like me?"

Did he get hurt by a girl before? Is it like Yedam's case? In that case, i just have to find someone who have secretly cared for him right?

"Were you hurt when you were young? Perhaps a girl broke your heart? Was the girl as beautiful as me?"

"You were no where near as beautiful as her."

"Yah. You don't have to be mean."

I pouted and sulk. HELP also said i was not as beautiful as the other cupids. Am i really that below average? Junghwan then snickered.

"Did you just... did you just laugh?"

"I guess... You just sounded like what the other two told me."

"What did they tell you?"

"They said you had a cute personality...."

I blushed at his words. I guess he is kind... even though he 'hates' me, he still doesn't curse or run away. Perhaps he doesn't really hate me?

"Do you... want to try getting rid of your fear?"

"My fear?"

"Your fear of girls."

[ "You don't actually hate
me, do you?" ]

[ "I can help you, y'know. " ]

[Smiles and hair flip," I mean i am a pro
In this kind of things."]
