The Truth behind the Act (1/2)
**JANG GEUN SEUK’S POV** I knocked on _________-ah’s room but no one answered so I decided to just went in. I saw ______-ah sleeping silently on her bed. She was so serene; she looks like a sleeping doll on her bed. I stood beside her bed; her blanket covers her whole body except her head. I put my hand over her forehead to check on her temperature and it’s still high. I sighed, then I saw her looking right at me, smiling. I blinked a couple of times before I realize she was really awake now. I pulled my hand away and I moved back, turning my head away from her. “Y~yah! Ca~caramel-girl... Can you go to school today?!” I said nervously. I turned to her again and now, she was trying to sit up. “Good morning Geun Seuk...” She greeted weakly...
“It’s ok if you can’t go to school today. And by the way, We cannot go to school together anymore” I told her, fast. Then her reply surprised me, she’s still lying on her bed but her head’s on me.
“Ah! Right! You already have a girlfriend... Ok now, run a long Mr. Love” She teased while waving her hand.
“What? Did your brain get damaged because of your fever?” I told her back, serious.
“Whatever! I just like you to tease you because I was so angry at you for taking Hae Yoon back again.” She turned her head away from me like a girl who’s angry with her boyfriend. I did not talk, my heart pounded. *Is she for real?* my heart’s throbbing so hard. She turned to me angrily, then smirk and then with her cutest smile.
“Ahahah! Just joking! Just make sure that you are happy with her, ok?” She told me while giving me a thumb up and while smiling widely and she coughed and sniffed. I grinned.
“Bitter caramel-girl” I told her then I walked away heading for the door. Then I turned to her again; she was getting out of the bed.
“___________-ah... what are you doing?” I asked. She faced me while sitting on the side of her bed.
“I’ll go to school” she coughed again. She stood up and was about to fall but I ran towards her and I manage to catch her. She fell on to my arm. She looked at me and smiled faintly. “I’m sorry. You can go now, I think Hae Yoon’s looking for you” She told me.*Aisht! This girl always like this. Looking out for others* She stood straight in front of me and she walked pass by me. I grab her arm and she stopped. I let go and faced her. “Do you think I’ll let you take the exam today? I suggest you should rest here and stay”
“But...”
“I do not want you to see in school. Now, go back to bed.” I commanded. She grimaced and pouted. She sits on her bed again and lay down. “I have to go. I’m telling you. Do not be a hard-headed Caramel Girl!” I exclaimed. I went out of her room, closing the door behind me. **__________’S POV** I was staring at my white ceiling for a long time. Then I remembered what happened last night. That vision from yesterday seems slipped through my mind since I started falling asleep. And wait! Who brought me to my room and since when I had fallen asleep?? I shook my head, closed my eyes again and again, trying to recall what happened but there is no memory left except that hug. All I know is I went out of the party hall, walked under the rain for an hour, stopped at the school’s park bench, saw Geun Seuk in front of me with his umbrella; he told me things that made me really happy. He felt bad because I saw that kiss, he felt bad because he’s that I might think that he disregarded my effort. The things he told me last night was all a blur. I really do not understand why he was like that. Those feelings he had, I know he was scared. Geun Seuk’s really kind that he’s really considerate other people’s feelings and that hug.
He hugged me all of a sudden that I am so surprised. I could remember the sentiment I had while he was hugging me. I could feel that he really cares for me, no matter how stubborn he is or how frail I am, we could make each other feel better. I just wished we have the same feelings for each other. I smiled at the idea. I stood up slowly. I really need to get to school. I do not care if Geun Seuk’s get mad at me. I need to get my midterm exam finished. After all, Hong Ki needs me for her tutorials. I sat at the side of my bed, panting. My body was really heavy. I put my hand over my bedside table to help go to the bathroom and then to the wall. Then, Jung Su-oppa opened my room’s door. He saw me leaning my hand on the wall as I rest to keep my balance. I turned to him coz I was looking down to rest my head, coz I was feeling dizzy.“_______-ah! What are you doing?”
“heheheh~ Oppa!” I smiled widely but faintly. “I’ll go to school”
“You?!” He shouted and approached me. He grab my arm and put it over his neck and helped to sit back on my bed. “You should stay here.!”
“But! I have to get to school and take my exam!” I answered back.
