[Chapter 24] Scratch

(Y/N)'s Pov

I practiced my choreography after school in the gym before I left.  Ah Yun and Jeongin went home ahead that's why I'm on my own today.

When I left the school gate, a droplet of rain landed on my forhead and it started to pour. Thankfully Seungmin reminded me to get an umbrella before I left this morning.

I opened the black and blue checkered umbrella and saw Teuk when I lifted it up. He held his bag on top of his head and he was starting to get wet.

"Teuk!" I called out and he stopped. I ran towards him and we were both under the shade of the umbrella.

"Thanks"

"You're lucky I saw you. Geez, you should've looked for shade and waited for the rain to stop" I sighed. He chuckled slightly.

"I was kind of in a hurry, sorry" he scratched the back of his neck. He said that he had a delivery to hive and that he needed to ride a bus. We waited and got in as soon as the bus came. There were no empty seats, that's why we stood up for the trip.

It came from his phone. He opened it, and out of curiosity, I took a short glance on the screen. It was a photo of A woman and a kid on each side. However, they were separated with a torn gap in between them.

I didn't notice that from a glance, I started staring at his phone. He snapped his fingers in front of my face, and my consciousness came back.

"Your lock screen wallpaper.."

"Ohh.. It was the only photo of my moyher and I... It got torn somehow because of an accident that's why I pictured it to save it" He said.

"She looks pretty"

"Yeah... But she's not here anymore.." his face looked down. I wanted to be a bit positive, that's why my mouth acted before I could even think. "She's abroad right?" I blurted out.

"I wish that were the case..." he looked a bit more gloomy.

"She had a celebrity friend. But because of that friend, it caused her own death" He had a bitter smile. It's sad. To lose someone you love.

"Did you ever think of having revenge?" I asked him. He looked at me, paused for a moment, and gave me a different smile. I didn't know what it was, but it was clearly different from the one a while ago.

"Yeah, I'm planning to do so" He answered.

"(Y/N), let's go to the cafeteria!" Ah Yun and Eun Ji (she was introduced in the JNR Intro thing) waiting for me at the door.

I got up from my chair and walked towards them. Just then, Hyo Min and her group passed by me. Thanks to one of her friends, I tripped and landed on the floor because of her foot.

"Oh my~ What a scene we have here. Why don't you stay of the ground like the dirt you are" Hyo Min laughed as they went to their usual spot in the classroom.

Ah Yun and Eun Ji rushed up to me and helped me stand up, asking if I were okay. I didn't want them to worry that's why I told them that I was fine, setting aside the stinging pain I felt on my elbow. It was a scratch.

"Let's go, I'm hungry" I dragged them outside the classroom to show that I was fine. And we went to eat lunch.

"I'm home" I said as I took off my shoes. Changbin and Chan were on the couch in the living room, discussing about something. I made my way towards my room but Changbin stopped me midway.

"What's that on your elbow?" He asked, bending down, leaning forward with his head titled. He scanned my arm and found the scratch I got from a while ago.

"It's just a scratch" I said, trying to leave but he pulled me over to the couch and made me sit down.

"A small scratch can get infections" Chan got the first aid kit that was behind the table on the side. He brought out medicine, band aids, and more stuff.

"Why didn't you treat it when it got wounded?" Chan asked.

"I was busy"

"Be careful next time" He placed the band aid after cleaning the wound.

"Yeah... I'll go to sleep, I feel kind of tired today"
