SIXTEEN

After reaching Seoul, Jun-pyo dropped me in my house. Jo wasn't surprised because Jun-pyo came along,so nothing gave away,that only me and Jun-pyo returned, leaving others behind,we literally ditched them. Jo didn't ask me anything, since I pretended to look tired and locked myself in my room. I fell on my bed,last night's memories kept haunting me.

Just then, I thought about Jun-pyo, when I'm feeling so broken just to see Woo-bin, my crush or I've a thing for him,whatever, it was just one sided,but in case of Jun-pyo, God! I felt so bad for him. Jan-di neither said no to him nor said a yes. Obviously Jun-pyo liked her so much,he thought she feels the same way towards him too,he should be extremely hurt after seeing Ji-hoo kissing Jan-di. I'm angry on her too,for playing with my best friend's heart.

I took a hot shower,put on my uniform and headed to school. I entered the hallway,then somebody held my wrist and turned me around.

Yi-jung.

"Hi." I said as if nothing is wrong.

"Why did you and Jun-pyo leave early?" He came straight to the point. He was alone, no Ji-hoo, no Woo-bin, thank goodness ,if he was here I wouldn't be able to be normal and no Jun-pyo too.

"I- uh- we- um." I really didn't know what to tell him,he kept starring into my eyes,trying to read my mind and then Jun-pyo cut me off.

"She felt sick. Why are you enquiring her,like a cop?" Jun-pyo said as he stood beside Yi-jung. Yi-jung didn't buy it, yet he seemed a bit relaxed.

" Okay." He shot me his usual cute smile and said, "In school, we are still a couple. Come on." He winked and we locked our elbows like a bride and groom. Jun-pyo joined us too,we walked to F4's private classroom. Now I pulled away from Yi-jung's hold,as he stepped ahead to open the door.

"Hey Tweety! There is something in your cheek." Jun-pyo said as we walked inside the room and wiped it away with his thumb.

"What was that?" I asked after coming to a halt,still looking at Jun-pyo's face.

"Obviously your face cream,I think. Tweety don't apply too much." He teased me with a smirk on his face. I should be annoyed at it but I felt happy that he is smiling or smirking whatever, something other than a frown.

"Daffy!" I whispered and slapped on his shoulder. He chucked.

As I turned around, in search of Yi-jung, I was trapped in somebody's gaze or stare.

Woo-bin.

As I made eye contact, he locked his eyes with mine, I shouldn't break apart. I guess Yi-jung was beside Woo-bin,talking something.

"Tweety it's time for your class. Run." Jun-pyo caught my shoulder and turned me around, walked me to the door. Thanks Jun-pyo for releasing me from his spellbound.

"Thanks." I muttered,looking down at the floor.

"I know." He sighed, "That's why I pulled you outside. I couldn't see my Tweety,struggling inside to fight back the pain." He tilted my chin up,facing him.

"It's okay. I'll be over him in a few days or weeks. It's just me who had feelings for him." I cracked a bit, " Are you okay?" I meant about Jan-di.

His face dropped, yet he managed to nod his head,telling that he is okay. I know he is lying but I didn't wanna talk more about it and hurt him.

"I'll see you later. Bye daffy." I put on a small fake smile and turned back after walking two steps, " My Daffy should be happy,always." Jun-pyo gave a half smile and I headed to my class.

-----

"Hey Arya! Why did you leave early?" Jan-di asked as she sat next to me,in class. See,she didn't ask about Jun-pyo,she knows it's because of her.

"I just felt sick." I lied,I didn't wanna show my anger to her now.

"Okay." She said.

Before the lunch break,nearly end of the class,I couldn't put up the 'I'm completely fine with what you did' look. So I tore a small piece of paper, 'Jan-di! Why the hell did you break Jun-pyo's heart like that? I don't have any problem in you liking Ji-hoo but you could have told Jun-pyo earlier, so that he wouldn't have built some feelings for you.' I scribbled it out of the anger I've bottled up till now, I tucked the chit in her hand before walking out of the class.

I went straight to dancehall, I was not in mood to eat,I just wanna dance my head out,if not the anger might explode in any means. I danced like crazy without break ,I don't know for how long, I laid down on the dance floor when I couldn't move a finger,I was more than exhausted. I blacked out for a while.

I woke up, still on the dancefloor, looked at the clock,almost end of last period. Yeah I bunked the classes after lunch. I'm still tired and exhausted but I can make it till my car,I guess. After getting home,I should ask Ben to carry me to my room,he doesn't mind,he used to do that when I was a kid.

I got out of danceroom and walked outside the school. Yes,there stands Ben, in his usual black suit,coolers,he is in his forties if not I might have married him because he'll never hurt me,he'll not cheat me on other girls. Of course Woo-bin didn't cheat me,I'm just overreacting and exaggerating my pain. I'm insane. I slide in the passenger side and he got in the driver seat,obviously.

"Baby girl! You look tired." Ben said after he started driving towards home.

"Yeah yeah. I danced like there is no tomorrow. I think I really can't wake up tomorrow." I said.

"Oh. Dance huh? Hmm." He chuckled.

"Benny boy, can you carry me till my room? Just today!" I asked him with puppy dog face, actually this face isn't necessary because Ben won't say no to a simple task. Will he?

"Okay okay. Enough with your act." He said.

I'm caught.

I'm watching TV in my living room,Jo just got back from work. I'm feeling drowsy already,it's just 9. Blame it on my dance again. Jo is in her room,doing her unfinished work,I guess. As I climbed the stairs, my phone rang,taking out from my sweatpant's pocket, I stopped moving, stood still,not knowing what to do.

Woo-bin.

I finally answered the call,"Hello."

"Arya! Is there any problem? You seemed to be avoiding me,just me." He said. I'm shocked to even hear it from him,I had no idea that he'll even notice it.

"Um- nothing like that." I said with my casual tone.

"No,it's not. You even left early from Jeju island without saying to me,or us." He went on. God! I can't hold it anymore, I need to do something before I blurt out the truth,give me some lie. I'm actually feeling a bit dizzy now. Did I drain so much energy in my dance? I'm really an animal.

"Can I talk to-" I stumbled while opening my room's door. I held the door tightly as I felt like earth was spinning around me..

"Arya? You there." He asked.

"Yeah! I-" I blacked out.

-------

Woo-bin:

"Yeah I-" Arya became silent, I even checked if the call is disconnected, no, I actually heard a thud. Did she fall from somewhere or jumped? God! She has no idea,what I'm going through right now. She did the same thing the other day too,when she cut her hand. Wait, does this mean,something happened to her again? Damn.

I rushed downstairs, peeked inside Brian's room,he is sound asleep. I slid inside my car,this time I really don't have time to take my men along, so I drove off to Arya's house on my own.

I pressed door bell and waited impatiently for Arya to open the door,if she doesn't come within 10 minutes,I'm gonna break in.

"Oh! Hello! Come on in." Her aunt,Jo opened the door and let me in.

"You should be Woo-bin! What makes you-" She wanted to know why I'm here at this time,I didn't let her complete.

"I wanna see Arya. Is she okay?" I kinda panicked.

"Yeah! She is fine. You can go check on her,upstairs." She gave me a confused look and pointed towards the stairs.

I bolted towards her room,the door was slightly opened. OH MY GOD, I was damn right. She is on the floor,unconscious. I carried her and ran downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Jo panicked too.

"I don't know,she was on the floor,unconscious. Get your car keys,soon." Jo freaked out as she ran to get her car keys,I asked for her keys as my car is a two-seater.

I made Arya lay on the back seat,Jo got in the back seat,so that she can hold Arya. I drove the car,really fast,meantime I informed Jun-pyo and Yi-jung too,Ji-hoo wouldn't care anyway. I just wanted someone whom I know to hold onto, I was really scared of losing Arya.

I reached hospital, carried her and made it inside the hospital. No one even dared to question me,as I made my way straight to my family doctor's room,Jo followed me sobbing continuously. I informed doctor that we found her unconscious on floor and know nothing more. As I was talking to the doctor, the guys were here including Ji-hoo, I don't know who informed him.

"Jo! Don't cry. She'll be fine." Jun-pyo consoled Jo, who was still sobbing.

"Can you do something soon?" Jun-pyo yelled at my doctor.

"Okay okay." My doctor got shaken by Jun-pyo's rough voice. He made Arya lay on the stretcher and took her to a room. I felt some pit forming on my stomach as I saw the stretcher slowly being out of my sight.

We all sat in the waiting room,Jo was exhausted, so she rested her head against Jun-pyo's shoulder. After half an hour,the nurse came in.

"Arya Smith's relative?" She asked with her eyes widened, probably because of us, F4 I think.

"Shut up. Show me where is she?" Jun-pyo rushed towards her, making her shiver.

"I'm Arya's guardian." Jo spoke up,if not Jun-pyo might have snapped that nurse's neck.

"Uh- okay. Follow me." The nurse quietly walked us to the room,where Arya was on a bed with drips flowing into her veins.

"Is she okay?" Jo asked doctor who was reading Arya's report,standing beside her bed.

"She is completely fine. She got dehydrated, that's it,without food or water. Please pay attention to her daily eating habit,other than that,she is fine. You can take her home after two hours." Doctor smiled towards the end.

"Thank God." Jo was relaxed,we guys are relaxed too. Especially Jun-pyo, he was like a volcano,which would erupt any minute soon. I was worried too.

Jo remained in Arya's room,we went back to that waiting room again.

I closed my eyes and laid my head on the couch,Yi-jung and Jun-pyo on my either side. Ji-hoo was outside the room,mostly leaning on the wall with one of his leg bent and rested on the wall. That's how he mostly stands.

"How did you come into the scene? Did Jo call you for help?" Jun-pyo spoke up,which made me jolt up on the couch.

"I called up Arya,while talking, it became quite all of a sudden after a thud on the floor. So I rushed to her house,that's how I came into the scene." I can't believe I'm telling each word to Jun-pyo, I would've thought several times,before blurting out that I called Arya if it was different a situation. Yi-jung was burning holes on my face,he also had a suspicious look. Yi-jung walked out.

"You called her? Why? She is not the playing material. She likes-" Jun-pyo was cut off by Yi-jung.

"Guys she is awake now. Come on." Yi-jung yanked me outside,my gaze was only on Jun-pyo. What was he trying to tell? Not a playing material? She likes? Whom?

We entered her room,she was still on bed.

"Sweetheart how are you?" Yi-jung rushed to her side,stood beside Jo, and held Arya's free hand.

"I'm fine." She said with a weak smile. Her eyes were about to land on me but Jun-pyo pushed me aside.

"Tweety I was worried." He stood in the other side,where the tube was connected to her hand,near her wrist. He tried holding that hand,but pulled back.

"You can hold it." Arya said with a grin,then Jun-pyo held her hand softly.

"Thanks Woo-bin." Arya said with a smile.

I just nodded,I didn't know what else to say. I was stuck in my knotted thoughts.

Ji-hoo just waved at her with a small smile. She smiled at him back.

Now I get it,Arya likes Jun-pyo and he likes her too. No wonder he yelled at me with so much venom.

Great.
