"Haneul !! "
Sunoo approached Haneul who was waiting for Jungwon as he was being treated in the emergency room .

"Sunoo..."
Her eyes slowly start to become bloodshot , water begin to collect at the bottom lid of her eyes .

She is very clueless and hurt at the same time when she sees Jungwon faint. 
She kept on blaming herself . Maybe , he fainted from being overworked while cleaning the classroom , she thought .

Sunoo is very sorry for Haneul, she looks very messed up, he can feel her pain just by looking towards her eyes .

"Don't worry , Jungwon will be just fine.."
Sunoo spoke up trying to calm Haneul who was at the urge to cry .

"How can I not worry?  He suddenly fainted while we were on the bus! "

"Of course I'm worried, what if anything happens to him?  "

Hearing the word 'bus' makes Sunoo speechless.  Sighing, he brushed his hair upwards.
  He grabbed Haneul's shoulders and dragged her with him, sitting in a nearby chair .

"Jungwon is a strong boy, nothing will happen to him, "
Sunoo added , patting Haneul ok her shoulder .

"But, why did he suddenly faint ?
Is he having something regarding his health ? ”
Haneul asked Sunoo with eyes filled with hope, hope to get an answer about Jungwon .

"His hands turned cold, very cold . He sweats real bad .... His face clearly said that he was not okay ," Haneul added .

Sunoo was very downhearted to see Haneul like this, she definitely had no idea what happened to Jungwon. 
Even Jungwon forbids him to tell this to anyone, he thinks Haneul deserves to know .

"Haneul ,"
He called her with the softest voice ever because emotional her is not so stable .

"Actually , Jungwon is—"

" Are you a member of patient Yang's family? "
A doctor came out of the emergency room .

Haneul immediately stood up, approaching the doctor with full hopes.
"I'm his friend, is Jungwon just fine ?"

The doctor smiled ,
"He is fine now, you can visit him in his room but he is still unconscious ,"

Listening to the doctor's words made Haneul feel very happy, she cupped her mouth out of happiness.  She bowed and thanked the doctor and nurses several times until they disappeared from her eyes.

She wiped her tears using her sleeve and entered Jungwon's room with a smile as Sunoo tailed her from behind.

Once Haneul saw Jungwon lying on the bed, she felt very bad.  Haneul approached Jungwon and sat in a chair next to his bed .

She was a bit hesitant at first but then she gently stroked Jungwon's cheek,
"Please wake up, you make me very worried"

She pursed her lips forward, fixing Jungwon's blanket to wrap his whole body to keep him warm.

Sunoo just watched her from a distance, couldn't go near otherwise he would cry.  Seeing Jungwon lying on the hospital bed really made Sunoo sad to see his condition .

"You are a strong boy, Jungwon ."

♫

Sunoo enters Jungwon's room with two cans of cola inside his palms .

It's been a few hours but Jungwon is still unconscious and Haneul, she is still faithfully by Jungwon's side, waiting for him to get up and doesn't show any tired expression.

Sunoo passed the cola to Haneul as the girl thanked him, she did not drink the cola but placed it on the table next to her before fixing her eyes on the sleeping Jungwon again .

"You should go back, it's getting late. I can take care of Jungwon tonight"
Sunoo offered himself but Haneul shook her head , disagreeing .

Sunoo didn't give up, still trying to persuade that girl to go home .
"Jungwon must be very sad if he woke up and saw you in this state.  You should get more rest and come back tomorrow, "

"It's my fault, he fainted because of me.  If I protest not to allow him to do hard work, of course he will not faint because he is overworked ... "
Haneul muttered slowly but could be heard by Sunoo .

"Do you think he fainted from being overworked? ”
Sunoo spoke up, making Haneul gazed at him curiously.

Sunoo added ,
"Jungwon is a taekwondo player, hard work will not burden him "

"Then, what really happened to him ?"
Haneul asked Sunoo , she really wants to know the boy's problem since Jungwon is not the type who likes to share his problems with anyone else because he does not want to bother them .

So it's a waste of time if she waits for Jungwon to tell her .

Sunoo talks to himself inside his mind, trying to think whether he wants to tell Haneul or not . But considering Jungwon's condition, he decided not to tell for now and let Jungwon tell himself .

"Nothing . Nothing happened to him "

♫

It's two in the morning but Sunoo still keeps an eye on Jungwon as he successfully persuades Haneul to go home first .

He questions why a boy as sweet as Jungwon has to suffer lots of things even though he is the nicest, kindest and sweetest boy that Sunoo has ever met .

Even Jungwon is a year younger than him, he considers him as his younger brother and often spends time together like siblings .

"Why have you been pensive for so long ?"

Jungwon's voice startled Sunoo, he looked at him and was shocked when the male freshly opened his eyes like nothing happened .

"You're awake!  Do you feel dizzy?  Do you feel nauseous? ”
Sunoo bombarded Jungwon with questions but the younger tried to calm him down and say he's just fine .

It takes a few minutes for Jungwon to process about what happened, where he is and why Sunoo is accompanying him in a hospital dress .

"Where is Haneul ? "
That was his very first question once he couldn't detect the presence of the girl he loves around him .

"You fainted on the bus and Haneul took you to the hospital , " Sunoo said .

He continued ,
"Don't worry, Haneul is safe.  I asked her to go home since it was late at night "

Hearing what Sunoo said, Jungwon let out a very heavy sigh.  He rested his arm on his forehead and shut his eyes tightly .

Sunoo knows it is difficult for the younger to control himself who is in the biggest misery .

"You should rest, Haneul and your friends will come to visit tomorrow morning"

"Don't force yourself to take the bus, you know it's not good for you. You make me very worried , Jungwon . "

"Just tell Haneul what— "

Jungwon cut him off ,
"Haneul shouldn't know about this, Sunoo "

"She always sees me as someone she can lean on.  Her trust in me will certainly be lost once she knows about this "

Sunoo shook his head ,
"She will never lose her trust in you, she will never "

Jungwon's eyebrows knitted ,
"And how can you say that with so much confidence ?"

Sunoo gave the younger a reassuring smile ,
"Don't you realize the way she looks at you?  "

"Cho Haneul, the most rude and stubborn girl in school.  She always skipped classes but then she changed, because of you "

"Don't you realize that she only talks to you at first before she slowly opens up to other students? "

"She's comfortable with you and I'm sure you're comfortable with her too "

Jungwon blinked his eyes several times ,
"Sunoo , since we are talking about Haneul ..."

He looked towards the older ,

"Do you like Haneul ? "

♫

Haneul opened the door of Jungwon's room slowly, there was no one in his room except Jungwon who was still lying on the bed .

Haneul is a bit hesitant to go in because Sunoo isn't there, he certainly goes to get breakfast since he's taking care of Jungwon .

She placed a bouquet of white camellia on the table and fixed her eyes on the sleeping Jungwon .

Haneul sat beside him and pressed her lips together, admiring Jungwon. 
The blazing morning light illuminated his face , making him look aesthetically ethereal .

"Looks like you're still unconscious. "
She mumbled .

Haneul took Jungwon's hand, playing with his hand before interlocking their fingers together. 
"Do you want to know something ?"

She chuckled to herself ,
"I always wanted to hold your hand like this ,"

She then placed Jungwon's palm on her own cheek,
"I also want to feel your warmth like this"

She paused for a while ,
"Jungwon, what does Yunju have that I don't have? "

"Do you like her because she has silky long hair up to waist level? "

"She touched her own hair,
"Is my shoulder length hair not pretty?"

Haneul huffed ,
"Should I grow my hair long ? "

Sighing , Haneul pouted out of boredom .
Her hands swiftly stroked Jungwon's fluffy hair "Do you want to know why I brought white camellia flowers to you?"

"White camellia should be given to someone you like .... "

Haneul stopped talking for a minute before continuing her words .
"It's true , Jungwon . I like you so much , i like you more than a friend "

"I mean , i love you a lot . You make me feel comfortable, you make me feel it's okay not to be cool like others, you always help me and always be there for me "

"But your eyes are always on Yunju. 
I also want to receive love from you "

Haneul fixed her eyes on Jungwon, she felt relieved after confessing her feelings even the boy will never hear it.

She stood up, starring onto him and she slowly leaned forward to his face, gently placing her lips on his lips.

She doesn't know more courage than she can to do so but Jungwon is still unconscious, so she's too confident.

It felt like heaven to kiss her own crush, but she also felt guilty for stealing his kiss.  She willingly releases her first kiss to someone she likes .

She broke the kiss and smiled sweetly , she whispered to him .
"I love you so much , Jungwon . I hope you know it "

"And i'm sorry for stealing your kiss "

She sat back in her chair and cupped her own heated cheeks.  A moments later, the room door wide opened, revealing Sunoo with Haruto and Jeongwoo behind him.

"Oh , Haneul ! did you wait long ?
I went to get breakfast for me and bumped with them both in the lobby "
Sunoo placed a plastic bag on the table .

Haruto and Jeongwoo showed peace signs with their hands as Haneul glared sharp into their soul making them both scared .

"Your bicycle, I will send it this afternoon,"

Jeongwoo said and avoided doing eye contact with Haneul .

"Oh , Haneul . Have you talked to Jungwon yet ? 
Why is he sleeping again, he should get up for breakfast "
Sunoo's words made Haneul's eyes widened .

"What do you mean ? Isn't Jungwon still unconscious? "

Haruto shook his head ,
he approached Jungwon's bed and roughly shook his shoulders ,
"YANG JUNGWON, WAKE UP! IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST!"

"YOU NEED TO TAKE MEDICINE "

Haneul's jaw dropped when Jungwon slowly opened his eyes .

"Y-you , awake ?"
Haneul uttered in disbelief .

Jungwon cleared his throat and tried to avoid eye contact with Haneul . His heart was beating very fast after hearing her confession but it seemed to explode when she took a bold step and kissed him on the lips .

"Why are your ears so red, Jungwon?  Are you still sick? ”
Jeongwoo asked him worriedly but Jungwon said he’s just fine.

"His ears are so red, look!  His cheeks are starting to turn red too! ”
Haruto exclaimed .

"Aish , stop it you both !"
Jungwon groaned annoyingly , covering his reddish ears .

Haneul on the other hand was unable to say anything since she was so shocked ,
"Did he hear everything and he realized when I kissed him?"

Haneul glanced towards Jungwon but he looked like just great, she patted her chest , telling herself to calm down and Jungwon was probably still asleep when she did that .

"He didn't hear, he didn't. "
She whispered to herself .

Sunoo helps serve food to Jungwon before scurried towards Haruto and Jeongwoo who are enjoying fried chickens .

Haneul was still full because she had eaten before coming so she just awkwardly sat next to Jungwon .

She took a glance to Jungwon and saw his pursed lips, blowing the hot porridge .

She gulped her saliva nervously as her cheeks heated when she remembered what she did earlier .

Jungwon noticed that Haneul was observing him, he faked a cough and put the spoon back into the bowl , cupping his reddish cheeks .

Haneul doesn't know why their situation feels so awkward . She slowly stood up from the chair , stretching her body .

"Ahh , I want to join them, You can call me if you need help "

Her steps halted when Jungwon suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulling her to sit in the upper corner of the bed .

"Why , do you need something ? ”
Haneul asked Jungwon curiously but the male seemed hesitant, he nervously rubbed his nape before fixing his eyes on Haneul .

"I like your shoulder length hair ..."
He murmured as if whispering, making Haneul narrowed her eyes because she couldn't hear him .

She leaned closer to him ,
"What did you say?  I didn't hear it "

Jungwon bit the bottom of his lips nervously before cupping Haneul's cheeks and kissed her forehead .

He amusedly chuckled when seeing Haneul's pinkish tinted cheeks. 
She is very speechless and dumbfounded .

Jungwon took Haneul's hand and interlocking their fingers together, their hearts beat in sync forming a rhythm .

He tighten his grasp on her hands , slightly raising their locking hands together .
" I like your shoulder length hair , a lot "

"Please don't cut or grow it long, this style suits you well "
