Chaeyoung's POV
"You are a freaking monster! You should at least die!"
I was alarmed when one of the student in the campus tightly gripped the neck of the girl whom they labeled as Psycho girl. I instinctively ran towards them as I throw a heavy blow at the face of the guy who was pestering to the girl.
He immediately ran away, still holding his face because of my punch.
My gaze shifted back to the girl who just stared at me blankly. Her eyes were emotionless just like yesterday, as if she doesn't care of what just happened to her.
This is the second time I saved her. In the same place. With the same bully.
"A-Are you okay?" I asked.
It is the same question I asked to her yesterday when I first saved her.
She avoided my gaze. "You shouldn't waste your time saving me. I couldn't feel pain afterall," she muttered flatly.
Her neck became reddish and there were some bruises in some part of her arms but she's not writhing in pain nor whimpering for help. It seems like it's just normal to her when someone hurts her. Just like yesterday.
I cleared my throat. "S-So the rumor is true that you can't feel pain?" I asked.
She started walking. The class already ended and good thing, my house is just few blocks away from them.
"I have a rare condition called Conginetal Insesitivity To Pain. I don't know what pain feels like. I can place my hands in a boiling water or undergo operations without anaesthetic, yet feel no discomfort," she mumbled in a matter of fact.
My mouth gaped and the feeling of amusement habituated my heart.
"Then why aren't you protecting yourself against those bullies who heaps on you? You should at least fight back!" I hissed.
"I won't use this condition to raise vengeance and hurt someone. I'm just quite astounded of how hypocrite people are. They know what pain feels like yet, they are glad when someone is suffering and hurting. Shame!" she commented.
My heart moved of what she just said.
"You might think that my condition is amusing and somewhat a blessing but you are wrong. I couldn't feel pain and it only means I also don't know when my body gives up or when it will going to surrender," she said.
Her honey eyes grazed mine and I don't know why but my heart thumped rapidly because of the eye contact we've just created.
"And you know what sucks the most? It is like I am living for nothing. It is like I am just waiting for my death. My life is too bland, boring and no spice in it because I am numb. I am just a worthless soul stuffed into a poisonous body."
She paused.
"In my whole life, I wonder what pain feels like," she uttered as she looked upon the sky.
I was quiet the whole time while she's talking because I don't want to miss any single word she utters.
Our conversation went smoothly that I didn't notice that she's now in front of their house.
"B-By t-the way... w-what's your name?" I asked, stuttering. I rubbed the back of my neck because of too much embarrassment.
Damn, Son Chaeyoung! You look like a fool!
She opened their gate and she then looked at me.
"Dahyun. My name is Kim Dahyun," she said.
"D-Dahyun... ahhmm... see you tomorrow!"
