Two days had passed since that night, which was not going to happen again for a long time, Hyeori knew why Sooho was saving as much money as he could, and even though she told him a thousand times that he didn’t have to, he wasn’t going to listen to her words, so she let him be.
She was proud of the boy, the responsibility he had to work and maintain the perfect attendance that his grandmother asked so much, was something that she admired about the boy too much and she did not want him to lose it.
Hyeori stood in front of the classroom door, frowning when she saw the light off, it was strange because at that hour, Sieun was already there as was Sooho, who is probably sleeping right now. Sighing, the girl opened the door gently, not wanting to disturb her boyfriend sleep or Sieun’s studies, locking eyes with the aforementioned, who looked at her for a second before looking at his notebook and continued with his work, Hyeori didn’t say nothing, just murmured her good morning before heading to Sooho, and covering his feet with his blanket.
It was getting cold.
After that, the girl took the shirt out of her backpack, putting it on her boyfriend’s table as well as his white t-shirt, leaving a kiss on his forehead before sitting down in her place and starting to read her history notes. However, the girl looked at Sieun for a second, thinking that he really spent the whole day studying, there was no time when she saw him just resting or something like that. —Doesn’t your head hurt? — The girl blurted out suddenly, she didn’t have to speak so loudly, there was no one else there anyway.
Sieun looked at her from his seat, seeing the sincere curiosity on her face. He couldn’t be bothered with her for making him lose concentration. Sieun wasn’t someone who was ungrateful, and even though he hadn’t asked her to help him with his cheek that time, he was grateful. – I like studying.
Hyeori smiled and gave a small giggle, nodding. — I can tell, I mean… Sometimes even the brain needs a little break. — The girl shrugged her shoulders, taking the notebook. — I’m sure you have a fairly active brain, but even it needs rest, you know?
Sieun didn’t say anything, seeing how the girl apparently didn’t expect an answer either, because her eyes began to move between her notebook and the history book she had on the table. He looked at Sooho behind her, watching him sleep. calmly and for a moment, a minimum, he was curious about the couple.
How, being so different in so many areas, had they ended up together and for so long?
And so time passed, suddenly classes ended and lunch time arrived, Hyeori stood up, stretching her body before turning to Sooho, who was asleep while his hand grabbed the chair where she was sitting, as if she were going to leave.
Hyeori’s eyes closed, shaking her head from side to side before she heard a voice. —I’ll invite you to eat. — That made the girl turn around, bumping into Sieun, who was looking at her seriously, but it was more of an expressionless look, she couldn’t place a specific emotion in them.
– What?
—It’s lunch time, I invite you to eat. — The girl stared at him, not believing what she was hearing, apparently he noticed, because he walked past her and started touching the sleeping boy’s shoulder, waking him up with a start.
—No, it was Hyeori! — The boy said as he looked around, confused by the sudden change of realities. —hm?
– Lunch time.
— Oh… I see… — The boy said, stretching as he looked at his girlfriend’s empty seat. —Did you see Hyo-Oh, love! Are you hungry?
— Sieun said he would treat us to lunch. — The girl approached, touching her boyfriend’s head while she looked at the other boy with a smile. Sooho looked at Sieun immediately, not believing that.
— You told me to invite you to eat.
– And what’s that face for? — The boy looked at him before seeing his girlfriend. – I don’t want to. — He said with a rather childish tone, lying back down on his pillow, making Sieun look at Hyeori, who raised an eyebrow to look at Sooho before turning her gaze from him to Sieun.
— Of course he’s going to accept your invitation, Sieun, just let me talk to him for a moment. —The girl said she, seeing how Sooho got up immediately.
— Yah, we don’t have to resort to that, fine, I’ll eat, just get rid of that face, it seems like I’ve forced you to do something, come on. — Sooho said, taking his girlfriend’s hand before leaving the room, listening to Sieun slowly follow them.
…
— I wasn’t asking you for that much food, although I appreciate that you invited Hyeori. — The boy said seriously before seeing his girlfriend with her mouth full of rice, smiling at that image. Something they had in common was the love they both had for food. — But I can pay for school food.
Hyeori looked at him before punching his arm, he was being very rude.
— Don’t eat if you don’t want to.
— Eat.
Sieun and Hyeori said at the same time, and the boy looked at them both, Sieun scared him with his bored and disinterested tone, but he was more scared of his girlfriend with chopsticks in her hands. So he quickly took his spoon between his fingers and shoved a large spoonful of rice into his mouth. — Be thankful, Sooho.
– Thanks for the food. — The boy said, with a smile before shoving more food into his mouth.
—By the way, why do you sleep at school? — Sooho swallowed before answering the boy.
— I come here after work. If I go home, I don’t think I’ll be able to wake up in time. — The boy put more food into his mouth again, staining his cheeks because of how messy he was to eat. —My grandma told me that I had to have a perfect attendance award and a diploma even if I chose not to go to college. — Hyeori took a napkin when she saw the cheek of the tallest one, taking it between her fingers, the girl took Sooho’s face carefully, passing the napkin over the stain on his cheek, cleaning it quickly, this made Sooho frown — I did it so you could take it away from me with a kiss.
Hyeori smiled, denying, she didn’t want to make Sieun feel uncomfortable, who was staring at them, although she didn’t know if he was really interested or just bored of them.
—And why don’t you sleep at your girlfriend’s house?
— Her parents don’t like me. — The boy said, making Hyeori look at him with a grimace, it was true, her father actually, according to him, the boy was a bully and a bad influence on his daughter.
Her father was the typical man who loved appearances, he wanted his daughter married to a businessman, if it weren’t for Hyeori knowing how to set limits, thanks to Sooho, she wouldn’t even leave the house except for meetings with people, rich, that her father knew.
— Also, sleeping at her house with her parents present is a bit… Rude, don’t you think? — he continued, seeing how there was a small piece of meat inside his rice, taking it, he put it on Hyeori’s plate without her noticing, returning to the conversation with Sieun. — I think it’s something that I wouldn’t like them to do to me, I mean, when I have a daughter, if I don’t like her boyfriend and I’m present, I would like him to respect our home, so that’s why I prefer not to go when they’re there.
— They don’t miss you much anyway. — Sieun shrugged his shoulders, Sooho stopped, looking at the boy almost indignant, looking at Hyeori when he heard her laugh, noticing how she was halfway through a bite and how her hand covered her mouth a little to avoid looking with bad manners when she laughed with mouth full
– What kind of music do you like to listen to? — Hyeori changed the subject, knowing that Sooho had been left speechless by Sieun’s very random response. Hyeori scratched her leg as she looked at Sieun, who shifted his attention from Sooho to her. — It’s just that you always have your headphones on…
— Like one of those idiotic and arrogant little assholes.
— Sooho. — Her girlfriend scolded him, hitting her leg with his, watching the boy swallow and smile innocently at her.
—It’s just an excuse. —The couple looked at the boy when they heard that, without understanding what he meant and Sieun saw how both turned their heads towards him, as if they were connected. — It’s in case someone talks to me, that’s why I put them on, I don’t want them to bother me.
— Yes, you are a weirdo.
— I thought you weren’t so egocentric… But you started to describe yourself again. — Hyeori giggled a little upon hearing that comment, covering her mouth as she looked at her boyfriend, who smiled with amusement before putting another piece of meat into his mouth.
Shifting his gaze to Hyeori, he pouted. — Nala and Jax would be on my side.
…
Hyeori looked out the classroom’s door sighing when she saw Sooho in the room, asleep as always, she had had her class in another classroom and had been looking for him for a long time, they had to go to her house, the girl would help him to deliver orders today.
— So-ah! — The girl walked away suddenly, tripping over one of the boys who were cleaning, he held her in his arms to prevent her from falling when her boyfriend suddenly woke up, screaming and throwing his fists in the air, Hyeori touched her chest as she feel her heart beating rapidly. — Yah! Ahn Sooho! — The girl said with a strong voice, he looked at her quickly, looking away from the other scared students around him, looking into his girlfriend’s eyes before seeing the hands of a boy holding her shoulders, he looked at him, making a sign for him to release her.
Nothing annoying, but not knowing if it was to help her, he didn’t want his girlfriend to be touched inappropriately or make her uncomfortable in any way.
—I… Is school over? — The boy asked, looking around, noticing the others nodding. — Ah, what selfish idiots, none of you bothered to wake me up.
—After Hyeori left you told us not to wake you up. — One of the boys said and laughed a little before continuing with the cleaning.
– Oh really? Well then… Love… Wake me up in ten minutes. — The boy said before sitting back down in his chair and almost falling asleep instantly.
— No, no, no, no… Sooho. — Hyeori complained, shaking the boy, listening to him complain. — Yah! Ahn SooHo! — Her girlfriend tried again, knowing that she would not achieve anything, sighing, she approached his ear. — I’ll go get my things, if you’re not awake when I get back, forget about your seaweed soup.
— Noooo Hyeori~ — Sooho complained, still not fully awake, stretching out an arm to grab the girl, who walked away before leaving the room to look for her things, leaving Sooho with hus arm hanging.
A few minutes later, she returned, stopping when she saw Sooho in the same way, still asleep, she walked towards him, taking his arm. — Sooho… Sooho! We have to go to my house, I have to change to help you with the deliveries… Yah! Wake up. — The girl complained, pulling her boyfriend by his arm, without any success.
Taking his jacket, the girl was going to hit him with its sleeve, to disturb his sleep, before seeing how the door to the living room opened and the new boy, a tall, thin boy, with dark brown hair almost black like his eyes, which he wore thin-rimmed glasses on and which, she swore, did not have much prescription, a boy whose name she did not remember, entered the place with a scared face. — Kang Hyeori… Ah… Ahn Sooho… Sieun.
— Okay… Do I have to wake up Sooho? —The girl asked when she saw the thinnest man’s expression, noticing how he was even breathing quickly. The boy nodded, swallowing hard. — Okay, Ahn Sooho, no seaweed soup this weekend-
— Yah! Hyeori, you can’t break up with me — Sooho stood up suddenly, hugging the girl while he murmured to her that the seaweed soup wasn’t to blame for anything before stopping when he saw the other boy in the place. – Something happens?
— Jeong YeonBing took Yeon Sieun away.
— Ah? — The boy said, making the other repeat it. – and? —He said indifferently, annoyed because he had interrupted his dream.
— Help him… You have to help him. You… used to do martial arts or something…
Hyeori looked at the new guy before shifting her gaze to Sooho, she couldn’t get involved in those decisions, but she was also worried about Sieun, if what they said about Yeonbing was true, he could be in danger. — I’m not that close to him, he just treat me with lunch.
—How close do you have to be to help someone? — Hyeori raised an eyebrow at that point, she looked at Sooho, the new guy was right, but again, she didn’t want Sooho to get in trouble.
—Listen, tell a teacher, Hyeori and I have work to do, those deliveries won’t be done by itself. — The boy said, taking his jacket and backpack before putting it over his shoulder, taking his girlfriend’s too and doing the same before taking her hand, the boy pulled her to walk with him towards the exit.
— I’ll pay you for the day — That made the couple stop, looking into each other’s eyes. — The double. — Sooho opened his mouth, his girlfriend raised an eyebrow before he turned around, looking at the boy before approaching him, and Hyeori denied, the boy would have definitely done it for the first option.
— Thank you so much. Let’s go? Come on, dear customer — Hyeori stretched out her hand, only to be dragged through the hallways by her boyfriend seconds later, arriving at the parking lot, where the girl looked at the motorcycle.
Sooho took the girl’s helmet out of the compartment behind the motorcycle, helping her put it on, leaving a kiss on her head before putting the helmet completely on her head, handing his to the thin boy. — Come on, get on.
The new guy and the girl looked at each other before looking at Sooho with a look of disbelief. — We don’t fit, Sooho.
—Of course you do, except that you, my love, will go here in front and you, you are lucky to be thin, you go in the back. — Sooho smiled before getting off the bike, making Hyeori get on the front carefully and then he got on, pressing close to her to make room for the boy, who got on behind him.
And actually, there was room for the three of them, which made Hyeori laugh at how funny that could look in the eyes of others, but in the end, she didn’t care, she knew that Sooho was having fun with that situation, Bumseok was going to paying him for it, that made him feel happier.
The boy started driving through the streets, looking for alleys where Sieun could be. — Honey, don’t you feel uncomfortable? — Sooho asked, jumping suddenly, almost afraid, remembering where the girl was right now, a school skirt and the wind were not best friends.
— I’m fine, calm down.
Hyeori nodded, reassuring him before he accelerated, the girl tried to look for an alley where they could hit someone without being seen, until she remembered. — Soo, Mrs. Oh’s alley… — The boy looked at his girlfriend’s head for a second before paying attention to her and turning left, arriving at Mrs. Oh’s restaurant.
That alley was quite well known because there was always someone lying, with blows or some serious injury, there, like the time when Sooho and Hyeori tried to be assaulted in that place, for both of them it was an epic memory, more than anything because Sooho ended up hitting those men without having a single scratch.
Hyeori immediately got off so Sooho could do it, he was going to start running before the girl grabbed his arm, stopping him. — Be careful, okay? If there are many of them just get Sieun out of there and come here, don’t try to fight.
Sooho smiled, placing a kiss on the girl’s hand before running towards the alley, leaving Hyeori with the new boy. — He’ll be fine.
– Yeah, I hope so. —The girl said she before looking into his eyes. —Hey… What was you name again?
…
— Bumseok, it took a long time. — Hyeori complained once again, her boyfriend had taken too long. – I’m done. —The girl said, removing the helmet from her head before running towards the alley, listening to the other boy’s calls.
Once she crossed the corner, she could see the scene, but her eyes focused on Yeonbing, who had a glass bottle and was standing in front of Sieun, sighing, the girl ran towards him, raising the helmet before hitting him on the head with it, making him drop the bottle, and then she push him to the ground, away from the boy.
Hyeori saw the other two boys approach her and Yeonbing get up, the girl rolled her eyes, without moving, she raised her helmet and threatened the boys, making them both walk away with some terror. — Ah… Idiot. —The girl murmured to Yeonbing, who looked at her furiously.
— Ah… More in love with you every day, good job, darling. — Sooho’s voice made her calm down, watching the three boys walk away from her with some fear. —Aren’t you ashamed to hit someone for no reason? If I were you, I would let myself be humiliated to death.
— Hyung… What are you doing? — Yeonbing complained to a tall boy, apparently older than everyone who was there, long hair tied in a small ponytail, he looked quite stocky, he simply looked at the teenagers, before saying something to the boy and walking away from them, leaving the scene.
—Jung Yeonbing. It’s enough. — Sieun told the boy, noticing him looking at him with seriousness and fury in his eyes.
Hyeori sighed, intertwining her fingers with her boyfriend’s, the girl turned around, taking Bumseok’s arm so he could start walking and they left the scene. – Come on.
Sooho walked with the girl, taking the helmet out of the other boy’s hands to tease him with it, Hyeori looked at Sieun, noticing the large scratch on his hand, taking it gently, the boy tensed for a second before she let ot go. — You have a big scratch, Hyeo is good with wounds, she can help you with that. — Sooho said, noticing the boy’s hand as well, grimacing.
– Okay.
Hyeori looked at Sooho, not knowing if that “okay” was a “yes, help me” or a “I don’t want your help.” The boy simply shrugged and smiled mischievously once he was in front of the motorcycle. —God, all that fighting has made me hungry. — This one began, putting the helmet in the girl’s head. — Let’s go eat, I know a delicious place. Also, you… You have to pay me — Sooho finished saying to Bumseok, who took the helmet, that he offered him, in his hands before nodding.
Hyeori positioned herself in the same place, feeling Sooho climb up behind her, and then feeling a small push, which meant that the boy with glasses had climbed on too, Hyeori looked at Sieun, who was standing in place, just watching them with seriousness. — Come on Sieun, go up.
— I have to go to the academy.
Sooho heard that, looking at the boy too, but he had a disgusted expression, he never understood why people studied more after having studied for so long. — Ah, come on. Don’t despise those who saved your life, you didn’t even thank us.
Sieun glanced at Hyeori, thinking that she would be less insistent and would understand that he wanted to leave, however, she didn’t seem to understand his look, motioning for him to get on. — We cannot go four on a motorcycle, it is illegal
—Also driving one without a license, but here we are still, come on, the road won’t be so long. — Sooho said, moving his head to indicate that he should get on, poking Hyeori’s arm so that she would try to convince him.
The girl smiled, stretching out her hand. — Come on, I heard that you like cold noodles, besides, I want to treat that hand, you won’t be able to concentrate in the academy because of pain.
Sooho’s smile showed as he saw Sieun roll his eyes before walking to the motorcycle, her girlfriend was good at convincing people, or she just always knew what to say.
