“Jungwon ... Please ..”

"I'm begging you , please ...”

”Please take a good care of Yunju once i gone ...”

"I'm sorry for lying to you and secretly dating with Yunju ...”

"w-when you two were still a couple ...”

"It's my fault, but she's very precious to me ,,”

"So please ,Take care of Yunju for me”

Hot tears flowed on Jungwon's cheeks , the wounds on his elbow and forehead didn't even hurt him as droplets of crimson blood dripping onto the hospital floor .

"Byeongho , don't say that .. you will survive! "

"Please don't leave me like this, we just met again after years !" 
Jungwon's voice cracked .

"Promise me , Jungwon ? Please , for me . Please take a good care of Yunju ..."
Byeongho uttered again , holding back his pains .

Nurses and doctors started scolding Byeongho for refusing to enter the operating room so he quickly nodded so that Byeongho agreed to enter.

"I will take a good care of Yunju , don't worry hm ?"

"Please come back to us , Byeongho..."

Byeongho smiled to his friend , a painful smile . The last smile before he was pushed into the operating room .

And after he entered the operating room, he never came out again with the same smile .

Only his body covered with a white cloth was pushed out of the operating room.  Yunju and his family gathered around him, crying and screaming their lungs out .

And Jungwon, just stood there because he didn't feel strong enough to approach Byeongho's body.  He sobbed and cried at the corner.

Yunju saw Jungwon who was crying, the girl rushed to him and pushed Jungwon's body to the wall, not at all worried that the boy was also injured and had just finished receiving treatment .

She looked at Jungwon with a sharp look, a vengeful rage overcame her.
"Stop crying, I'm disgusted with your fake tears"

"You don't deserve a friend like Byeongho ... "

Jungwon sobbed harder, the feeling of this friend's disappearance really hurt him.  He just lowered his head and clenched his fists .
"I'm so sorry, Yunju. It's not intentional"

Yunju scoffed in disbelief ,
"Byeongho died because of you ,"

♫

Jungwon lay on his soft bed , facing the ceiling as the old memories knocked his mind again .

Tears began to sting his eyes, lamenting his longing for his friend .

Even noth Byeongho and Yunju cheated together behind him, he accepted the fact that they were both happier together .

Jungwon goes through a black life, filled with regrets and guilts.  He may look like just fine with no problem at all but deep inside, he needs help.

A help from someone to pull him out of the dark hole .

And then, he met Haneul.  The girl who brought back his happiness, the girl who made him smile again .

He is grateful for the girl's presence and hopes to make her his one day .

But not until Yunju came back.  At first, Jungwon was annoyed with her but she always brought up about Byeongho and said Jungwon was the cause of Byeongho's death .

"He died because of you ,"

"I will not let you be happy after you have robbed my happiness , "

She said to him , on her first day there .

And because of the promise that Jungwon made with Byeongho, to take care of Yunju ..
He was tied with the girl .

He wants to end everything and just enjoy his day with Haneul like always but remembering his friend who died because of him ,

He felt helpless .

Jungwon closed his eyes and rested his arm on his head, his head throbbing very badly .

All he wants is peace .

But seeing Haneul hurt, the effect of his promise and his always guilty self, Jungwon starts blaming himself even more .

And when he wants to approach Haneul, Yunju will always hold him and strangle him about Byeongho, thus making Jungwon drown .

He has no other choice .

He is very tired physically and mentally .

♫

Once Jungwon arrives at school , Jungwon rushed towards the bicycle parking lot to check if his bicycle was okay or not .

He let out a sigh of relief when his bicycle was still in the same place and in the same position as the last time he left it last night .

He held the handle, and checked the bicycle like it was his lifeline.  Mainly because he can't ride the bus, due to some reason, that's why he always goes everywhere using a bicycle .

"Everything— THE HELL"

Jungwon knelt down ,
"Deflated tires ?"

"How can it be deflated ? 
Everything was fine yesterday "

He groaned frustratedly , apparently he needed to walk to get home today .

"Look, someone tore your tire with scissors"
Haneul who suddenly appeared next to Jungwon surprised him.  The male patted his chest and looked at Haneul who was sucking her lollipop .

"Who wants to do that to me ?
I never had a fight with anyone "
Jungwon took a look at his tires and right what Haneul said, someone had deflated his tires on purpose .

Haneul nodded , pouting her lips . She stood up from squatting and shoved both her hands into her pockets. 
"Tell the teachers that I can't get into class today"

Jungwon grabbed her wrist ,
"Where are you going , Haneul . You can't skip class that easy ,"

"Just tell them I'm sick or whatever , "
Haneul argued back , making Jungwon frowned .

"Haneul , You know I won't let you skip—"

"Oh , good morning Mr Kang !"
Haneul bowed ninety degrees in respect to the older .

Jungwon's eyes went wide, he quickly turned his back towards Mr Kang and bowed as well .

   "GOOD MORNING MR KANG"

When he lifted his body back, there was no one in front of him that made Jungwon dumbfounded.

"Haneul , i thought Mr Kang— HEY , WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?!"

He freaks out when he sees Haneul running away from him, apparently she tricked him into running away. 

"Oh god, I was fooled"
Jungwon's face palmed himself and sighed deeply.

  It was impossible to chase Haneul who was already far away from him . So, he will let her go today.  She can do what she wants as long as she is within the school grounds .

Jungwon fixed his bag straps and continued his step to enter his classroom .

On his way there, he saw Sunoo from afar.  The older smiled at him and waved which Jungwon did the same .

He ran towards Jungwon and shrugged Jungwon "Are you okay, yesterday?"

"You should go home with your bicycle , why do you take the bus if you can't ? "

Jungwon pressed his lips together , showing up his dimple .
"I thought I could handle it but it turned out to be ... it still haunts me "

Sunoo smiled at the younger who he considered as his own little brother , but sometimes they were friends like friends of the same age .

Sunoo starts massaging both of Jungwon's shoulders to give him encouragement
"Don't worry, Wonnie. It will all be over , you will be able to control it one day"

Jungwon laughed at his words, he really loves Sunoo like his own brother.  He pulled Sunoo's sleeve and hugged him, startling Sunoo.

"HEY , DO NOT HUG ME "
Sunoo scolded him .

"AAAA , I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BROTHER SUNOO !"
Jungwon hopped around while still hugging Sunoo , making him hopped as well .

"STOP , PEOPLE ARE WATCHING ! "
Sunoo tried to escape but Jungwon laughed and hugged him tighter to annoy Sunoo more .

"I HAVE THE BEST OLDER BROTHER IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE ! "

"HIS NAME IS KIM SUNOO !"

Sunoo laughed over Jungwon's craziness ,
"I HAVE THE BEST YOUNGER BROTHER IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE TOO !"

"HIS NAME IS YANG JUNGWON !"

They both laughed heartily , capturing the moment inside their hearts .Sunoo looked around and realized that someone was still not here .
"Where is Haneul ? "

Jungwon began to pinch his bridge nose ,
"She said she wanted to skip classes today ,"

"She is indeed something ,"

♫

"What class are they from ? ”
Haneul asked two girls from lower year .

"They are classmates with us, "
One of the girls answered. Both of them were busy changing eye contacts while gazing at Haneul who looked like a thug .

Haneul chuckled to herself and took out the lollipop from her mouth .She handed back the phone to the girl and wrapped her arms around their shoulders, making both girls shiver in fear .

She stretched her body and clasped her both palms together, ready to do something havoc.

"Bring me to them , girls "

♫

Jungwon peacefully prepared his homework . He kept on glancing towards Haneul's seat but the girl did not come back .

Jungwon sighed , brushing his hair upwards ,
"She did mean it when she said she wanted to skip classes"

Fixing his position, Jungwon turned to the next page and tapped the pen on his chin , thinking .

"Jungwon , I'm bored "
Yunju suddenly sat next to Jungwon , clinging onto his arm .

Jungwon scoffed in disbelief, he slowly pushed and removed Yunju's hands around his arm and distanced himself from Yunju .

"I'm busy, go find someone else to bother"

Yunju smirked , she placed her elbow on the desk and playfully rested her chin on  her palm .
"Presumably, what would Haneul's reaction be if she knew that ..."

Yunju paused for a while , smirking harder ,
".... you are the cause of your own friend's death ? "

Jungwon's ears hissed hearing the phrase again.  He finally put down his pen and turned his face to Yunju

"I did as you asked and I took care of you as I promised with Byeongho"

"Is that not enough ? Why do you have to bother me and ruin everything in my life ?"

Yunju laughed while slapping Jungwon's arm as if he was telling her a joke . She fixed her eyes on him, smiling wider .
  "I promised, Jungwon"

"I promise in the name of Byeongho that I will not let you be happy, "

"Since you have snatched away our happiness "

Yunju's smile then dropped , making a serious yet scary look .
"I can't be unhappy alone, you must follow me too "

"Because you are the cause of everything"

"It's your fault , it's always your fault "

"Even his family forgives you ,,, "

Yunju grinned ,
"I will never forgive you "

Jungwon was deadpanned , Yunju's words piercing his heart . His eyed reddened, looking towards Yunju who looked really mad .

He was about to say something but got interrupted when Haruto and Jeongwoo came in chaos .

"JUNGWON , JUNGWON !"
Jeongwoo yelled Jungwon's name repeatedly making Jungwon stood up from his seat .

"What happened ?"
He asked them worriedly .

"H-Haneul !'

Hearing Haneul's name mentioned made Jungwon's heart stop .
"What happened to Haneul ?"

Haruto tried to get enough air before pulling himself up ,
"She's fighting with some male students! !"

"WHAT ?!"
Jungwon gasped in disbelief but at the same time, upset because the girl went to fight .

"FOLLOW US NOWWWWW !"
Jeongwoo and Haruto ran out of the classroom , heading towards the scene .

Jungwon shrugged his shoulders, trying to convince himself that Haneul wouldn't get hurt. 

As he was about to run, Yunju grabbed his wrist, stopping him.
  "Jungwon, I don't want you to go"

"This is my order, didn't you promise Byeongho that you would take care of me? "

Jungwon bit his bottom lips anxiously , this game is playing in his mind again.  Between his death friend and Haneul .

Yunju smirked when she saw Jungwon's confused face, she yelled in happiness in her heart for successfully controlling the boy .

But her smirk slipped when Jungwon pushed her hands away harshly and ran out of the class without saying anything .

Yunju shouted, calling his name but he deafened his own ears.  This time, Haneul needs him.  He can't disappoint her.

Jungwon ran and bumped with other students but he didn't care.  His only main point is the scene .

Once he arrived there, many students gathered outside the classroom, peeking inside through windows and doors .

His body trembled with fear, he did not stop praying for Haneul to be safe and not injured .

Otherwise he will blame himself for it .

He entered the crowd and pushed the other students to open the way for him .
"Move , i said move !"

"Cho Haneul ! Hey ,, move !"

"Haneul !"

"I said move , move !"

"Give a way to me !"

Once he managed to get past the crowd, he gasped and immediately rushed inside the classroom .

"CHO HANEUL , WHAT—"

His brain froze when he saw Haneul sitting on a chair and three boys kneeling infront of her, raising their hands into the air while sobbing.

Haneul titled her head to Jungwon , smiling and waving to him .
"Jungwon , you came just in time "

"He is the owner of the bicycle, go apologize now! ”
Haneul yelled at them, startling everyone .

The three boys looked at Jungwon and immediately crawled to him while sobbing, hugging his legs which made Jungwon yelled in shock.

"WE ARE SORRY , WE PROMISE NOT TO DO IT AGAIN, WE ARE VERY SORRY ! "
One boy cried as the other two nodded .

"W-wait , what do you mean ?"
Jungwon asked them, completely clueless about what happened.  He tried to removed the boys's grasp on his legs but they hugged him tighter like he was their life .

"We are the one who flattens your tires.  We did it for video content for our YouTube channel "

One sobbed .

"Haneul, did you hit them?"

Haneul shook her head, crossing her arms.  "I didn't touch them at all, they cried when I asked about the tires"

She looked over the three boys ,
"Right ? I didn't touch you all, right? "

The boys gulped down their saliva nervously before nodding , agreeing with Haneul making Haneul grinned in victory .

Jungwon sighed but feel this situation is funny as well.  He knelt down to the boys who were sobbing. 
"It's okay, stop crying"

"Just promise me that you will not create nonsense content for your YouTube channel again "

The three boys nodded, they wiped their tears using their sleeves . Haneul chuckled, it was fun to tease them. 

She just walked into their class and asked about the tires but when they didn’t want to admit, she threatened to tatted her name on their forehead while playing with a scissors which made the three boys feared her .

Haneul wrapped her arms around the boys's shoulders , pulling them closer to her .
"What is your YouTube channel?  I want to subscribe "

"W-what do you want to do with our YouTube channel ... "
one mumbled but clear enough for Haneul to hear .

"Aish , of course I want to keep an eye on you all.  Remember, if you prank anyone or create nonsensical content again .. i will !! "

"OKAY , OKAY . HERE IS OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL . DO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A NICE COMMENT !"
The boy exclaimed , showing their channel to Haneul as Haneul nodded and searched their channel on her phone .

She smiled to them and patted their heads before standing up . She looked at Jungwon and showed him a peace sign which the boy chuckled .

"We apologize for this commotion"
Jungwon bowed to the students but Haneul did not.

" Haneul, bowed! "
He whispered-yelled to her but the girl was stubborn .

When Haneul didn't want to do so, Jungwon forcefully pushed her head so that she bowed together to the students .

They left the classroom and asked everyone to return to class .

"You come with me "
Jungwon uttered , pulling Haneul with him .

"W-wait , Jungwon ! I swear I didn't hit them! "

"I JUST THREATENED TO TATTED MY NAME IN THEIR FOREHEADS AND THEY CRIED! "

"PLEASE DON'T REPORT ME TO MR KANG! "

"I won't report you , idiot "
Jungwon said making Haneul let out a sigh of relief .

"Then , where are we going ?"

Jungwon turned his head to her and just smiled, not saying anything . They arrived at the school's garden.  Jungwon pulls Haneul to approach the tree that they both always climb .

Haneul just looked at Jungwon weirdly when the boy climbed the tree . Jungwon looked down to Haneul , signalling her to climb up as well as she did so .

Jungwon helps Haneul to climb and makes sure the girl doesn't fall. 
As they both managed to climb, they sat on a tree branch and adoring the bluish sky above them .

"Why did you bring me here? ”
Haneul asked him with a pursing lips .

Jungwon chuckled ,
"I just feel so happy, "

"Thank you for everything "

"But have you been looking for them all day? "

Haneul huffed and nodded ,
"It was tiring but I found them !"

"Now, your bicycle's case isn't left a mystery ,"

Jungwon hummed , agreeing with Haneul even she has just created chaos but it is for the good of others. After this, no one will pull a nonsense prank ever again .

Jungwon gazed at Haneul , adoring her ethereal features . All the problems that plagued him soon disappeared .

Jungwon pulls Haneul's hand and makes a half love shape . He then made the same shape and connected their hands together, forming one love shape .

He smiled sincerely , gazing towards their hands before looking deep into Haneul's soul .
"This is how to form a love shape ,"

Haneul blushed and immediately shifted away her gaze , she felt very nervous .
She cleared her throat and wanted to say something but halted when Jungwon suddenly pulled her into a tight hug .

He rested his chin on top of her head and tucking Haneul on his chest , smiling widely .

He has to admit that the sky looks brighter today and it's because his serenity is with him .

"Haneul , I can't be more grateful that you included in my life "
