Chapter 3 MEETING HIM

Eun Kyung walked out of the house and got into the car.

"So how was yesterday?, I never got to ask" said Him Chan as he started the engine.

"Em, it was good, normal" she replied.

"Hmm okay, I wanted to thank you for taking care of Hwang yesterday".

"Oh it was nothing, Hwang is like a sibling I never had so I feel so happy around him" she replied and Him smiled.

"Let's hope today gets better" said Him and he started the engine.

"Let's hope" mumbled Eun Kyung.

Eun Kyung got down from her uncle's car and walked into the school building.

Reaching her class she found a seat at the back and sat on it.

Every student walked into the class happily as they spoke and made noise, just then Eun Kyung's eyes met with Seo Yun's, she looked away immediately and he chuckled, he stood from his seat and walked to her seat.

"Hey stalker why are you here?, Look the owner of that seat is mean, he could kill you if he finds you on his seat so if I were you, I'd run now I still have legs to do so" he said.

"Get lost" said Eun Kyung.

"What did you say?" He asked and Eun Kyung stood up and looked directly at him.

"I said get lost!" She said and he chuckled.

"You little...".

"Get seated students" a teacher's voice distracted them.

"Hey, we'll continue this discussion later"said Seo Yun.

Everyone sat down and the teacher started teaching..

A guy on black walked into the class, he looked at everyone before he began walking towards Eun Kyung's seat.

Eun Kyung's heart missed a beat, did it mean that Seo Yun was right, the guy walking close to her looked scary.

He reached her and looked down on her.

"You're on my seat" he said in a deep and coarse voice.

Eun Kyung swallowed hard and slowly stood up.

Everyone burst into laughter as she carried her bag and walked out of the seat.

"You could sit here" said the teacher pointing at the front desk.

Everyone gasped. "Oh Miss, the guy who has the seat is representing our school in the Math competition, he would resume class soon, don't let someone like her seat there" said a girl and everyone agreed.

"It will just be for a while, come now please" said the teacher and Eun Kyung walked to the front, she turned backwards and saw Nari, she seemed quiet but someone sat on the other pair of the seat behind her was Seo Yun, now he would really frustrate her.

"What's your name?" Asked the woman

"Eun Kyung" she replied.

"Nice to meet you Eun Kyung!!" Yelled Seo Yun and everyone burst into laughter.

"Seo Yun!!" Yelled the teacher.

"Don't mind him my dear, sit" she said.

"Thank you" said Eun Kyung and as she bent to seat, the chair was removed and she hit her butt on the ground.

Everyone now laughed heavily and the teacher turned to see Eun Kyung on the ground rubbing her butt painfully.

"Oh my God are you okay?" She asked and helped her up.

"Yes I'm fine" said Eun Kyung.

"Seo Yun!, Leave my class now!!" She yelled and everyone made a murmuring sound.

"I didn't do it, she didn't see where she was sitting" said Seo Yun.

"Yes Miss he didn't do it, Eun Kyung is clumsy" said guy and everyone laughed.

"Quiet all of you, Eun Kyung is a new student, treat her well" said the teacher.

" Yes Miss" they replied mockingly.

The teacher was done teaching and she left the class, Eun Kyung sat quietly on the seat, she didn't turn backwards to say or look at anyone or anything.

"Eun Kyung" Called Nari and Eun Kyung looked up.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm better" replied Eun Kyung.

"Better?, You don't look better, Seo Yun has really had a liking to you, you've become one of those people he always taunts, I mean many would have committed suicide by the way he mocks them".

"He saved my life when I wanted to commit suicide" said Eun Kyung and Nari looked at her for a while and burst into laughter.

"What's so funny Nari?" Asked Eun Kyung not knowing what was funny.

"Are you kidding me?, Seo Yun saved your life?, What kind of stupid joke is that?"

"I'm not joking Nari, he really did, that's why I'm being patient with him because I owe him" said Eun Kyung.

"Eun kyung stop this, Seo Yun can never do anything good for anyone except his brother so just forget about it" said Nari.

Eun Kyung sighed, "Maybe he's just pretending not to know me" said Eun Kyung.

"Or maybe you took him for someone else, whatever let's go to class.

Eun Kyung and Nari walked to the classroom and on entering it they both fell heavily on the ground.

" Oh my God, I sprained my ankle" wept Nari, Eun Kyung stood up and helped her up.

"Eun Kyung it hurts please help me" she wept.

Some students helped Nari to her seat and Eun Kyung tried to stretch the ankle but Nari won't let her.

"Who did this?" Asked Eun Kyung to a girl.

" How would I know" she replied and turned from her.

"It's Seo Yun right?" She asked again.

"Hey Eun Kyung, stop questioning me" she said.

Eun Kyung angrily grabbed the girl and pushed her to the wall to the surprise of everyone.

"Seo Yun did this right!!" She yelled and the girl nodded in fear.

"Eun Kyung just let it be, I'll be fine" said Nari.

"Take care of her for me okay?" Said Eun Kyung to a girl and she left.

Eun Kyung walked outside the building in search for Seo Yun. She turned right and saw two girls with a guy who backed her, she then walked slowly to them, the guy now turned so she could see his face. "Seo Yun!!" She called running to where he stood.

The guy with the girls then looked at her as she approached them.

On reaching the guy, Eun Kyung gave him a slap that surprised everyone.

He didn't flinch, he turned his face and looked at her.

"What?!!, Hit me, come on hit me!!, My friend sprained her ankle because of you, why should you play such a game, it was me you were after right?, Why hurt Nari?".

"Excuse me, you don't have any right to hit him, just leave now you still have the chance" said a girl and Eun Kyung pushed her but the other girl caught her before she reached the ground.

"Say something Seo Yun!!" Yelled Eun Kyung as she hit him hard on his chest.

Him Chan had finished teaching a class and walked to his office was he saw a commotion involving....

"Eun Kyung?!".

"You won't talk?" Asked Eun Kyung and she looked around, seeing a container of paint she hurriedly took it up.

"Eun Kyung don't!!!" Yelled Him running to her but she emptied it on his clothes.

He didn't still flinch, while the girls were running from the paint he just stood there and Eun Kyung didn't understand why.

"Seo Jun!!" A voice yelled and as Eun Kyung turned to see who called, someone pushed her with force but Him Chan caught her before she fell.

"Are you okay bro?", Now the guy turned to Eun Kyung.

Eun Kyung's eye's widened he was Seo Yun but the guy she poured paint on... Who was he?.

"Hey you fool how could you insult my brother like that huh?" Yelled Seo Yun.

"It's okay kid please, let's go Eun Kyung" said Him Chan and he took her away.

Eun Kyung sat quietly with her uncle, she didn't understand, he looked so much like Seo Yun, no wonder he was quiet, Seo Yun would never be quiet, she messed up big time.

"Are you done scolding yourself?" Asked Him Chan and she looked up at him.

"Good. Get your bag, we're leaving, I don't want anyone asking anymore questions" .

Eun Kyung got her bag and began to leave the class when Nari walked to her.

"It's not your fault, lots of people got confused at first but with time you will know they don't even look like each other" she said.

"Are they twins?" She asked.

"Yes but Seo Jun behaves like the older one and he is the school head while Seo Yun is the stubborn fly. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Seo Jun" she said.

"So there's Seo Yun and Seo Jun?" She asked.

"Definitely" replied Nari.

"How's your ankle?" .

"I don't know but I know I'll feel better tomorrow" said Nari with a smile.

Eun Kyung and her uncle reached home and they got inside, Hwang was asleep so Eun Kyung just walked to her room.

On reaching her bed she laid on it, everything seemed clear now. Seo Jun was the guy who saved her life and Seo Yun was his twin younger brother, she kept bothering Seo Yun like he was her saviour but her real saviour Seo Jun was just around the corner, she didn't even look well at him if she did she would have figured out that he wasn't Seo Yun but Seo Jun the guy she had been waiting for. Tears dropped from her eyes, she was fond of ruining stuffs and she messed up again big time.

Eun Kyung opened her eyes to the bright morning, she still wore her uniform, she must have slept off after crying last night.

She went to the shower and had her bath.

Him Chan was on his laptop when Eun Kyung walked to the sitting room.

He looked up and saw her, "It's good you're not on your uniform cause you're not going to school today".

"Why?" Asked Eun Kyung quietly.

"Because I have to go and solve the problem you created", now he closed the laptop and sat up.

"Eun Kyung why did you do that?, That was Choi Seo Jun one of the best students and you just insulted him like he was a normal person, well from all I know he doesn't look for trouble and lives a simple life in school but if he did hurt you, you could have just told me instead of taking matters into your hands".

"I'm sorry" said Eun Kyung.

"Not to me, tell that to Seo Jun" with that he stood up and left.

Tears filled Eun Kyung's eyes, she just got the scholarship and she messed up.

"Eun Kyung, your mom called the house line, she said she wants to talk to you" said Hwang.

"Tell her I went out" said Eun Kyung.

Hwang was quiet for a while before he spoke up.

"I don't know what's happening but I don't think I like the version of Eun Kyung that I'm seeing".

"I don't care!!" Yelled Eun Kyung and Hwang startled.

"Just go away" she said and he frowned.

"Well fine, stay all by yourself!" Said Hwang and he walked away.

Later in the evening Eun Kyung walked outside the house and saw Hwang on the swing.

"Hey" she called and he turned to her.

"Are you done with your anger?, He asked and she chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I've been a bad lady and I'm sorry" .

Hwang smiled, "Why do you say sorry all the time?, It doesn't make sense. Anyways I love it" he said and she smiled.

"I think I'll stop it" she said, "You better not" said Hwang.

Him Chan drove into the compound and sighted both of them laughing together.

Later in the day, Eun kyung met with Him Chan outside the house.

"How did it go?" She asked.

Him Chan faced her and sighed

"The principal is very angry and he wants to expel you" now Eun Kyung's heart missed a beat.

"She said you had no right to fight anyone and worse was that you're a new student, she said you'll be a bad example to others" .

Tears filled Eun Kyung's eyes, "I didn't mean to do it" she muttered in tears.

"Did you say something?" He asked and looked at her, "I messed up" she said avoiding his stare.

"You really did. Luckily for us the principal changed her mind to suspension with hard labor for two weeks".

"I should probably call my Mom".

"No Eun Kyung, you won't be leaving the school and that's the important thing. Seo Jun begged on your behalf, I really didn't know why he was so much defending you, he refused all the punishment that were given to you, he said Seo Yun hurt you and you took him to be Seo Yun".

"What?" Asked Eun Kyung.

"Yes I was surprised myself, I kept quiet and he handled the whole situation but the principal didn't want you to go free, she said you must apologize to Seo Jun at the assembly hall tomorrow, that won't be hard" he said.

"I.. don't get it.." stammered Eun Kyung.

Him now touched her shoulder, "It's okay, it's just an apology it won't be hard and I'm sorry for how I handled the matter yesterday, looks like I was so pissed" he said.

"It's okay" she said and he hugged her.

The next day Eun Kyung dressed up and walked out.

"I'm ready" she said.

"Okay, let's go" said Him

"Em Eun Kyung, don't mess this one up, it's just an apology how hard could it be, you say sorry all the time" said Hwang and Him chuckled.

"It won't be difficult, let's go".

They reached the school compound and Eun Kyung got down from the car.

"Just calm down and you'll be fine" he said.

"Thanks uncle".

Eun Kyung walked inside the hall, there were lots of people staring at her and she felt goosebumps all over her body. She tried walking fast and bumped into someone whose book fell down.

"I'm so sorr.." Eun Kyung stopped half way on seeing who is was. The face was calm and cool, he wasn't annoyed but gently bent down to pick his book, those eyes were amazing... How come she never knew the difference.

He then faced her as she continued looking at him, he sighed and walked from her but she grabbed his arm.

Seo Jun looked at Eun Kyung who grabbed his hand but hurriedly let go off him when she realized what she was doing.

"I'm sorry... I em... Well I wanted to ask, why did you defend me yesterday?".

Seo Jun raised a brow. "Defend you?, Why would I do that?". He asked and Eun Kyung was shocked.

"But... I thought.." now she stopped, she wasn't supposed to ask him that, he would think the discussion had been leaked.

"Forget about what I said... It wasn't supposed to come out like that".

"Really?, Then how was it supposed to come out?" He asked.

"Look, I'm sorry about yesterday I..".

"You're not sorry?, A crime has been committed the culprit has to pay" he said and offered her a smile before walking away.

That smile, Eun Kyung had seen it before, Seo Yun never smiled like that. Suddenly he stopped and turned to her.

"It wasn't yesterday" he said and left.

The assembly had started fully and Eun Kyung couldn't help but panic, at every second her heart beat became faster.

The time finally reached and Seo Jun was called to give a speech. Once he was done the principal called Eun Kyung up.

"It's gonna be alright" whispered Nari to Eun Kyung.

Eun Kyung offered her a smile and walked out of the crowd, her heart was beating rapidly as all eyes were on her, she looked up and saw her uncle he seemed to encourage her to proceed her eyes then moved to Seo Jun, he seemed to watch her closely and she panicked even more, about reaching the staircase, Eun Kyung's leg hit on something hard and she fell heavily to the ground.

The whole hall was filled with laugher of various kind.

Tears filled her eyes, there was no way she would fall like that, it just wasn't possible, she looked back and saw Seo Yun.

The fool was the only one capable of doing that.

"Miss Jo Eun Kyung, why are you still on the ground?" Asked the principal and Eun Kyung hurriedly stood up, she slowly began to climb the stairs.

Eun Kyung was now standing in front of Seo Jun whose eyes never left her.

"Jo Eun Kyung, you're here to apologize to Choi Seo Jun for insulting him, now get along with it".

"Yes Ma" said Eun Kyung and she faced Seo Jun.

Eun Kyung gulped. "Seo Jun...

"Louder" said the principal.

Tears started to form in her eyes, that was so much of an embarrassment.

"Just say something, anything" whispered Seo Jun and Eun Kyung looked up at him.

Eun Kyung breath in and spoke.

"I'm sorry for behaving the way I did. I want to apologize to everyone here, the principal, teachers, students, friends, everyone looking up to me....

"Who's looking up to you!!" Yelled a student from the crowd and everyone laughed loudly.

"That's enough!!" Yelled the principal.

Tears now flowed from her eyes, "And to you Seo Jun, I'm so sorry and I promise to never behave the way I did ever again".

"What do you have to say Seo Jun?".

"Apology declined!" Yelled another student.

"Apology accepted" said Seo Jun and Eun Kyung looked at him as he smiled at her.

"It's been accepted a long time ago". He said.

"Okay, everyone Eun Kyung is now forgive and will be treated fairly, anyone who treats her otherwise will be punished. Now let's close this assembly" said the principal.

" You did good" said Him Chan and Eun Kyung smiled.

"Thanks uncle".

"I have to get to class, wipe your tears and move along with other students" he said and left.

Eun Kyung walked slowly to her class room when she saw Seo Jun with those two girls, she hurriedly rushed to him.

"Hi" she said and he looked at her.

"Give me some time" said Seo Jun and the girls left.

"I wanted to thank you for everything" she said.

You don't have to" he said.

"But why?, I.."

"It's not necessary, I'm just happy it was me who got hurt, you should leave Seo Yun now, don't go after him anymore" he said.

"I will try but he shouldn't bother me anymore" she said.

"Bother??".

"Hey Seo Jun!!" Yelled Seo Yun and he rushed to his brother's side.

"Hey, what do you want Eun Kyung?, See I told you not to forgive her, she's just a stalker who won't leave me alone" grinned Seo Yun.

"Stalker?" Now Eun Kyung chuckled. "Only a fool will stalk you Seo Yun" said Eun Kyung and both brothers looked at her.

"What did you say?" Asked Seo Yun.

"That's enough Seo Yun, let's go" said Seo Jun but Seo Yun won't listen and pushed him aside.

"I said you're nothing but a scumbag hiding in the shadows of your brother".

"How dare you!!" Yelled Seo Yun and he raised his hand to hit Eun Kyung.
