“I love you too”Aerum replied and beom-seok claimed her lips in a more slow but tender kiss.

<ONE WEEK LATER~GLITTERING HIGHSCHOOL>
The bell just rang for break period, students began walking out of the classroom going to the cafeteria.
Alot has happened for that past one week,one of which is Si-Woo apologizing to aerum for what she did.
Aerum was packing her books back to her school bag while chatting with her two friends.
“He was looking at you,all through the class”A-Yeong gushed, fanning herself with an hand.
“I just feel jealous that I badly wanna find love”Yu-Jun added with a grin.
“Your wish!”Aerum waved with an eye roll and they chuckled.
Beom-seok and ji-hoon just stood up,then left the class not without beom-seok winking at Aerum who blushed in return.
Her phone beeped instantly and she brought it out to check and when she did,she saw it was a message from beom-seok.
💌”I’m at the school rooftop and I’m waiting for you”She smiled after reading the message.
“Hmmmm!!”A-Yeong smiled knowingly and aerum gave her a hard glare which got her laughing immediately.
“I’ll be back guys”she smiled and stood up.
“Hmmm,go on!”A-Yeong nodded and she smiled before walking out of the classroom.
“Ji-hoon seems not to notice me. What should I do huh?”Yu-Jun pouted sadly, while asking A-Yeong the question.
A-Yeong coughed before looking away.
“What should I do huh? I’m asking you”Yu-Jun shook A-Yeong who began scratching her hair funnily.
“Kee.. keep trying,am sure with time he will”she stuttered hurriedly and Yu-Jun nodded.
She suddenly began smiling when an idea struck her.
“I know what to do hmmm!!”She took her bottom lips in,and began nodding.
“What?”A-Yeong asks her curiously.
“Watching a movie with him. That sounds great right?”She asks and A-Yeong nodded with a forced smile.

<ROOFTOP>
Aerum entered with a wide smile on her face,but it got replaced with a deep frown seeing beom-seok wasn’t there.
“Is he playing tricks on me? Seriously?”She huffed and folded her hands under her chest.
She suddenly felt a hand wrapped round her waist,and the person’s head was placed on her back, without being told she already knew it was him.
She smiled and slowly placed her hands on beom-seok hand which was hugging her waist.
“Yunno,I was playing to knock out a teeth from your mouth if this was a trick”Aerum said and beom-seok chuckled.
He lifted his head from her back,then dipped his face on her neck enjoying her cologne.
“What are you doing?”Aerum asks with a smile.
“I really missed you”he replied her,then gave her a gentle bite on her neck.
“Beom.. beom-seok”She stuttered and beom-seok withdrawed,he turned her to him,in a way that they’re facing each other.
“I missed you too”aerum replied with a smile and beom-seok pulled her closer before kissing her lightly on the lips.
“Should we do something fun?”Beom-seok asked after they have sat down.
“Something like what?”Aerum asked and beom-seok thought for a while.
“How about we go to the beach by weekend?”He asks and aerum nodded slowly.
“Perfect!!”He chuckled with a smile.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you something,why and how did you fall in love with me?”Aerum bite her lips,after asking.
Beom-seok looked at her with a smile,then he took her hand in his before kissing her knuckles shortly,then began caressing it while looking at her.
“That’s cos you’re perfect. Everything about you is just too perfect that I fell helplessly in love with you”He replied and aerum began blushing.
“Oh,that Good…but not everyone is perfect yunno”Aerum told him and beom-seok nodded.
“Well it’s kinda true,but you’re perfect. Don’t even argue with me!!”He told her hurriedly and aerum smiled.
“Can I ask something too?”She asks and beom-seok nodded.
“Yeah, sure”He nudged and she exhaled while looking at him.
The silence between them became awkward,with aerum looking at beom-seok in the eye while beom-seok kept wondering what her question was about.
“Why aren’t you in good terms with your brother?”She asks and beom-seok looked away immediately without replying her.
“Is it something bad?”She asks,with her hands placed on his shoulder.
“More than the word bad. It’s cruel”He said,tears already welling up in his charming eye’s.
“Oh..,is that bad I guess cos you already wanna start crying. Don’t be a crybaby okay?”Aerum patted his back and he nodded.
“Sorry for remembering that for you,but I hope you guys gets along and you forgive him too hmmm? He is your brother after all”aerum shrugged and beom-seok nodded.
••••
Ji-hoon came out from the library,with a novel in his hand..he was already heading to the school garden when Yu-Jun and A-Yeong stopped him.
“Hey,I’ve been looking for you!”Yu-Jun said and ji-hoon arched his brow.
“Oh..what for? If I may ask”He asks her.
“Well actually,is nothing…I just wanted to ask if you’ll be chanced by weekend,so that we can go see a movie together”She smiled and ji-hoon shook his head.
“I’m sorry,but I already have an appointment”He declined and Yu-Jun bite her bottom lips sadly.
“Can’t the appointment stay? I badly wanna watch a movie with you”she pleaded and ji-hoon shook his head,refusing again.
“I can’t”He replies her and Yu-Jun looked at A-Yeong, nudging at her to ask ji-hoon on her behalf.
“Uhmmm, actually what my friend is saying is even if it’s just for an hour, she’ll be okay. Don’t reject this please”A-Yeong asked further,with a pounding heart.
“Really?”Ji-hoon asks her unbelievably.
“Ne!!”She nodded with hurry.
“Gracious!! I was planning to take you out by weekend”Ji-hoon roughed his hair while Yu-Jun gasped.
“Me? No,No!! I don’t even want to go out with you really”She replied hurriedly, while looking at Yu-Jun.
“Are you being serious?”He asks her and she nodded with a smile.
“O.. okay!!”Ji-hoon replied sadly,then faced Yu-Jun.
“I’ll be chanced to watch the movie with you”He smiled at her and Yu-Jun jumped on him, making A-Yeong look away.
“Wa..wa..wait!!”Ji-hoon stuttered, dropping Yu-Jun slowly.
“I’m sorry,was just happy”She blushed.
Ji-hoon only muttered an “oh!” Then look at A-Yeong one more time, before going directly to the classroom.

<SCHOOL GARDEN>
As expected, Sung-ho walked into the school garden,then met Si-Woo crying her eyes out.
She’ve been doing that for the past one week, always crying her eyes out in the garden.
Sung-ho exhaled,then sat on the empty space beside her before passing an hanky to her.
She took it slowly,then wiped her tears.
“When do you plan to stop huh?”Sung-ho asks her and she broke down in tears again.
“I told you am not good at consoling,not like something bad happened or someone died. Why trying to ki|| yourself huh?”He asks and Si-Woo sighed.
“You won’t just understand”She replied him.
“Then make me understand. The video has been taking down and you’re still crying over it? I wanna understand what’s going on with you!”He told her and she smiled sadly.
“Am my that bad?”She asks him.
“And who said you’re?”Sung-ho asks instead.
“Alot has been going on with me..alot,that I had to try something new thinking it was going to be positive but instead,the worst happened!”She smiled sadly and Sung-ho patted her back.
“Sometimes in life,we all go through alot of shits and it depends on how strong you’re to overcome. It’s just a matter of time and all the students will forget that something like that happened. So cheer up and stop crying. Mind you,you looks ugly when crying so don’t do that again. Allow me to have a clearer view of your pretty face and not this okay?”He pinched her nose and she chuckled.

<NIGHT~SREETS>
On the busy streets,two people could be seen holding hands while walking down the streets with a bright smile on their faces.
“That’s how it happened huh? That was too ridiculous!”Aerum laughed with beom-seok.
“I know right?”Beom-seok added as they continued walking.
“Let’s get some ice cream over there”aerum pointed and beom-seok nodded.
“Here mister!!”They paid and continued walking,their hands still interwined while they use the other hand to have the ice cream.
“It’s late already, shouldn’t we go back?”Aerum asked,after taking a glance at her wrist watch.
“I know,but just wanna spend a little more time with you”Beom-seok pouted and aerum chuckled before pecking him lightly on the lips.
“I know,and I also wish same but it’s late already huh? Mom might get worried”Aerum told him and he sighed sadly.
“You’re making me feel sad yunno,I’m already missing you huh?”Aerum hugged him tightly, beom-seok chuckled then began stroking her hair.
“Should we just elope huh?”Beom-seok asks and aerum laughed.
“Why would we huh? We have all the time so let’s chill”Aerum smiled and beom-seok kissed her hair before breaking the hug.
“I’ll escort you back home then”He winked and grab her hand.
“Let’s go!!”He said and they left immediately.

<CHUL’S MANSION>
Beom-seok entered the mansion,and met shang-hoon sitting on the sitting room cellar with a bottle of vodka in his hand,he was drinking directly from it.
Beom-seok shook his head,and took the stairs but stopped on hearing shang-hoon question.
“Where are you coming from?”He asks and beom-seok smirked, ignoring him.
Shang-hoon stood up angrily,then crashed the bottle on the floor making beom-seok flinch.
“I h@?? repeating myself,where the hell are you coming from?”He thundered and beom-seok turned to him,with his hands in his pocket.
“Well,if you want to know I went out with her. Happy?”He scoffed and tried walking away but shang-hoon pulled him back.
“I’m not done here!!”He yelled drunkenly at him and beom-seok waved his hand.
“You’re drunk,and I h@?? the smell coming out from there”he pointed his mouth and shang-hoon gasped.
“You old fool,why did you go out with her huh?”He yelled throwing a heavy and mighty punch on beom-seok face.
Beom-seok touched his lips slowly and brought it to his face and his hand was stained with blood.
He just broke his nose cos of the heaviness of the punch.
“Hope you’re not going on with your silly payback huh?”Shang-hoon yelled and punched him heavily again,on the broken nose causing more blood to ooze out.
