Repairing Our Relationship

29

NK POV

I was walking slowly to the school. Another day of Hell. Yay. I was wearing a baggy jacket and black jeans, not like anyone cares. I was wearing the hood and staring at the side-walk as I walked. The only reason I get out of bed in the morning is for China and my friends. AndSouthtoobutwhatever-

I heard footsteps behind me and closed my eyes, preparing myself to get pushed to the ground and taunted. Instead, I heard my boyfriend's voice. "North!"

I relaxed a bit and stopped walking. I turned around and smiled a bit at the taller Chinese. He was running towards me, which is something he only does if he slept in. Guess his alarm clock didn't work this morning.

China caught up to me and quickly caught his breath. "Nǐ hǎo (Hi) babe!" He hugged me tightly and kissed my head.

I smiled softly and hugged him back. China...he's one of the few good things this world produced. "안녕 (Hi) babe..." I murmered.

China sighed. "Don't wanna go to school?" He guessed.

I nodded and glanced in the direction school was in. "Nobody likes me there... I only go there to get bullied at this point..." I looked at the ground sadly.

China hugged me from behind and held me close to him. "You know...we don't have to go..."

I looked up at him. "Are you suggesting we..?"

China nodded. I looked away, nervous. "But won't we be considered suspicious? Because of everything that's going on..."

China kissed my cheek. "It'll be fine. I'll call Taiwan and South Korea and tell them we're not going to school today, okay? If anyone asks where we are they'll back us up."

"Won't Taiwan get mad at you..?"

"Shì a, (Yeah) but it's worth it to spend time with you."

I couldn't help but smile at my boyfriend. "Okay."

China kissed me softly. I melted into it. We eventually pulled away after a few seconds. "So, where are we gonna go?" I asked.

China took my hand in his. "Your house." He smiled.

I returned the smile, feeling happy and relaxed for once on a school day. China started walking and I kept up with him. I leaned on him and he wrapped his arm around my waist.

China pulled out his phone and dialed his brother's number. He started talking to him in Chinese, and I could hear Taiwan was less than happy about the news I assume China told him. Taiwan eventually calmed down, but by his muttering I could tell he wasn't exactly happy still. China eventually hung up.

Sure enough, China then called my brother. He started talking to him in Korean. "잠깐만 요, 당신은 당신이 내 동생과 함께 학교를 건너 뛰고 있다고 말하고 있습니까? (Hold on, you're telling me that you're skipping school with my brother?) South asked.

China nodded despite the fact that South couldn't see it. "예. 괴롭힘 때문에 학교에 가고 싶지 않습니다. 오늘 우리가 건너 뛰는 것이 편안 할 것이라고 생각했습니다. 누군가가 우리에게 어디에 있는지 물어보기 위해 당신과 대만에 알려야했습니다. (Yes. He doesn't wanna go to school because of the bullying. I thought it would be relaxing for us to skip today, we just needed to tell you and Taiwan just in case anyone asks where we are.)" He glanced at me with a smile.

I smiled back. South was silent for a few moments. "글쎄 ... 알았어 ... 그를 안전하게 지키라고, 알겠 니? (Well...okay... Keep him safe, alright?)"
