Sooyun's POV

By the time I was done helping Ms. Park it was almost 5 PM. The school seemed entirely vacant. "Okay ma'am.. I better take my leave... Bye!" I say and bow in respect. "Okay Sooyun. Bye! Be careful on your way back home. And thanks for your help again." "Anytime!" I say with a smile and leave.

On my way to the exit, my attention drifted to the school garden. It is a beautiful one with flowers and fruit trees. Many animals come there, like rabbits, and birds like sparrows, woodpeckers and others. It also had a wooden bench. 

What drifted my attention to the park, you ask? I heard the sound of someone crying? I go ahead to see that a boy ,who would've been around my age, was crying, his face in his hands. I instantly had the urge to go comfort him, and that's what I did. I walked up to the bench he was sitting on and say as softly as possible, "Hey, you okay?" As the boy lifted up his face to see me, I was shocked to see that the crying boy was none other than Kim Jungwoo, the guy who the whole school feared.

I was in the midst of my crying when someone came in and said in the most comforting voice, "Hey, you okay?" I look up to see the girl who had yelled WHAT out of nowhere during lunchtime. The girl who made me feel butterflies in my stomach. She seemed slightly shocked to see that I was the one who was crying. I, as in the threat of the school, the heartbreaker and the meanie. The one who seemed too strong and happy to be crying. But what shocked me was that, after the slight shock, she shot a sincere smile at me. I don't usually get these sincere smiles often so getting one makes me smile too. "Oh hi Jungwoo! Was  not expecting to see you here!" she says. "Umm...uhh...." 

I was confused. I have not shown my good side to anyone except my friends. Shall I show it to her? I guess. 

"Hi. How do you know me?" I asked. I know, pretty dumb question. Everyone knows me, but I need a conversation starter anyways.... (Story Pause)

Author: Dude, Jungwoo, couldn't get a better convo starter? 

Jungwoo: What!?! I have better convo starters but because of you, I had to start this conversation so awkwardly! Not my problem!

Author: Why you blaming me?!

Jungwoo: Cause you wrote this story you pabo!

Author: Hey! It's a good plot! And second, it's not a story it's a fan fiction!

Jungwoo: Whatever..

Author: Never mind, shall we continue? Readers are waiting....

Jungwoo: Ya, but I won't disagree, it is a good plot. 

Author: Aww... Thanks!! :-)

Jungwoo: Now, fight resolved, reader continue reading! (Story resumed) :-p

"Umm.. ya, and I guess everyone does... Oh I forgot to introduce myself... My name is Bang Sooyun!" Bang Sooyun, such a nice name. "Umm....so why were you crying?" Remembering that I was crying a few moments ago, I turned red of embarrassment. "Ahhh... come on! It is nothing to be embarrassed off... everyone cries sometimes. But I understand that you won't want to see you crying because of you're reputation.." she cuts herself realizing what she just said. "I am so sorry, I did't mean to say that." She says looking down. How innocent.. "No issues, Sooyun, what you said is true, I do have a bad reputation in this school, but I don't mind until and unless I know who I am. Sometimes, you just have to ignore others' opinions and listen to your heart."

Sooyun's POV

"Sometimes you have to ignore others' opinions and listen to your heart." Wow, such wise words. Yes it could've been that he was trying to make me fall for him so he can break my heart, but his words had purity. They couldn't have been false. 

As my eyes were wandering around I saw a book next to Jungwoo. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. That's the book that I am reading currently. "Jungwoo, may I ask something?" "Yes, go on." He says turning his eyes towards me in a questioning manner. "Is that book yours?" I ask. "Um...yes. It is." "Oh really? That is cause..." I pull my copy of the book out of my bag, "I have the same book." "Oh really..ooh ooh did you read the part where Willoughby comes in?" He says all off a sudden excited. "Ya and did you read the part where Edward visits Elinor?" I ask excited as well. "They are so cute together!!" We both said at the same time. 

The conversation was full of books, likes and dislikes. We exchanged our numbers as I was taking my leave. What a nice guy. Why was he crying I never found out though. Well I guess.
