Friends and Foes (1/2)

<b style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;font-weight:normal;">Nana was standing at Jisu’s locker with a sad expression on her face.<b style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;font-weight:normal;">“Where is she? This is the second day she hasn’t shown up to school.” Nana says pouting to herself.

Myungsoo enters the school entrance and he notices Nana standing in front of Jisu’s locker. He begins to walk over to Nana with a smile on his face, but his smile falters as he sees the sad expression on her face. He starts walking faster toward her direction.

“Nana!” He yells trying to get her attention.

Nana looks to see Myungsoo coming toward her, and she waves at him with a confused expression on her face.

Myungsoo reaches Nana breathlessly from ‘half jogging’ toward her.

“Nana, what’s wrong?” Myungsoo says as he tries to catch his breath.

Nana sighs, “This is the second day Jisu hasn’t shown up to school. I just hope everything is alright.” Nana pouts her lips.

Myungsoo nods, holding his chest as he catches his breath.

“Yeah, Woohyun too.” Myungsoo gets a mischievous look on his face, “You think they’re together?”

Nana smiles slyly, “ You don’t think they... ?”

Myungsoo shakes his head, “No, they can’t be together... could they?” He looks at Nana with a questioning stare.

“It’s possible... I’m going to call her and yell at her to get to school and stop hanging out with Woohyun!” Nana says as she takes her phone out of her jacket pocket.

Nana hears the other end pick up, “ OH JISU! Where have you been! I bet you’ve been with-” Nana stops as she hears a voice that is not Jisu’s .

“Nana, is that you?”

“Woohyun? Is this you? We knew you two would be together!-” Nana was about to say more when Woohyun spoke interrupting her.

“Nana, I can’t talk right now. I’m at the hospital.”

Nana’s eyes got wide and she looked at Myungsoo worriedly.

“Why? Why are you at the hospital? Is everything ok? Where’s Jisu? Is the baby alright?” Nana goes on asking a million questions only to be stopped by Woohyun again.

“I’m at the hospital because Jisu is having bad stomach pains. We are here to figure out what’s wrong. I don’t know if everything is ok. I don’t know anything right now. Jisu is in the back for checking. I’m here with her dad.”

“What do you mean her dad? They haven’t talked since-”

“He went to see her this morning.” Woohyun said cutting Nana off again.

“Well, Myungsoo and I are coming to the hospital too.”

“Don’t! Jisu wouldn’t want you to come, and miss school to come see her. That would make her feel burdened.”

Nana sighed loudly into the phone, “You’re probably right. We’ll just stay at school. Tell Jisu that I love her and hope she is ok when you see her.”

“I will. Bye, Nana.” Woohyun said hanging up the phone.

“So, is everything alright?” Myungsoo asks Nana.

Nana pouts, “ I don’t know. I hope so.”

Myungsoo rubs Nana’s arm for comfort, “Come on, let’s go to class.”

Nana nods and follows Myungsoo to class.

Woohyun turns to return into the hospital after stepping out to accept Nana’s call. As he was turning, he looked over to see Jisu’s father on the phone. He walks over to him to ask if everything is alright.

“Mr. Oh? Is everything alright?” Woohyun asks as Jisu’s dad hangs up from his call.

“Yeah, everythings fine on that end.”

Woohyun nodded.

“So, then was that your wife?” Woohyun asks out of curiosity.

“No.”
