Rhee Min-Jun kicked Chang Minsu's paralyzed form off Hae Mina before jerking Chang Minsu to his feet. Rhee Min-Jun did not give Chang Minsu time to recover as he slammed his fist into Chang Minsu's face. Chang Minsu stumbled to the side, but Rhee Min-Jun pulled him forward and slammed his fist into the smaller man's lower abdomen. Chang Minsu gasped and buckled forward. Rhee Min-Jun slammed his left fist into Chang Minsu's face, causing him to tumble to the side and splash into the pool.
Hae Mina cradled her hand, picked up her phone, and left the bathroom. She dropped onto the bed and slid through her contacts until she found Chang Minsu's name and tapped on it. The phone rang multiple times before the answering machine picked up. "Minsu, this is…Hae Mina. I'm the Jae-Woo you thought you knew. I'm sorry for lying about being Jae-Woo. I'm sorry for bringing you int
“Jae-Woo,” she breathed. She raced to the bedside and wrapped her arms around his sitting form. He returned the hug with a smile on his face. “Hey, M," his voice was low, soft, and comforting. "How are you?”Hae Mina pulled back and gave him a bright smile as sh
Hae Mina woke to Rhee Min-Jun’s soft touch on her shoulder. “Wake up,” he whispered. She turned around and stretched. “Hmm?” “We’re here. Let’s go.” Hae Mina blinked a few rapid times to wake herself then st
As Hae Mina sat in the windowsill, the moon's gentle beams rested on her face, and although they held no warmth, they comforted Hae Mina. The chaos of the day swirled in her mind, but soon, a piano's soft melody pulled her from her inner thoughts. At first, she thought she was imagining the sound, but as it continued she realized someone was playing the piano. She slid from the sill and ventured into the hall. She paused at the steps then tiptoed down them. She made it to the bottom and found herself closer to the fading sound. She hurried down the dark halls lit by small dim lights.
Hae Mina heard a knock on her door early the next morning. She rolled out of the bed and stumbled to her door. “What?” she muttered in a tired voice.I can’t believe I was up till two last night.“You have class today, Hae Mina,” Nathan’s voice declared.
Hae Mina sat in the office with her arms crossed. She had failed in obeying Nathan and knew a lecture awaited her upon his arrival. She scanned the room to preoccupy her mind. Cho Mi Cha lay on a couch across the room. Tears streamed down her cheeks and Hae Mina knew she had hit the girl too hard, but she really did not care at this point. The girl deserved it and had struck her first.She clenched her right hand when she continued to look around and saw the younger girl, whose name she had yet to learn, whimper. The principal pointed at the girl and motion
After practicing from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm with no breaks, Duskin curled on the couch and fell asleep. “Can we take a break now?” Hae Mina asked. In truth, she needed the break more than wanted it. Her left hand ached and she did not know how much longer she would be able to keep the pain hidden.“I guess so,” Yang Dae-Su muttered. “What do you say, Jiho?”
As the two climbed into his car, Rhee Min-Jun spoke, "If you don't want to go to practice, I can tell them you are worn out.""No, I'll go. Jiho would never let me hear the end of it if I skipped practice because I was worn out, and I am in no mood to argue with him."He gave her a nod as he started the car and the trip back to the university began. After a minute, Hae Mina broke the silence, "Thank you for helping him. I know you haven't forgiven him for," she paused, "for choking me but--""I do not know that I will ever forgive him for that. Any man who would attack a woman is worse than trash.""So you see Jiho as trash?" she countered."What?""Jiho
