Chapter 8 (part 1)> I Can't Forget..

Minho enters the classroom after the first subject is over. it doesn't really matter since he's great at math, so, he just walk in right after Miss Son get out of the class. Everyone's eyes are on him but he keeps his poker face on and heads to his seat. as his eyes land itself on EunShi's face, he can feels the blood rushing to his face. his knee starts to shake and shiver. slowly, he walks towards his seat, trying his best not to let his expression change and sit. but EunShi is still looking at him, and he can't avoid making eye contact with her. as he sits, she asks...

EunShi: (whispering) Where did u go?
Minho: (slides his chair a little closer to EunShi's desk) I, i, i helped Onew hyung...
EunShi: Really?
Minho: (nods)
EunShi: I see... (looks away)

Just then, Jaejin [The Monitor] comes to him...

Jaejin: Uh, Minho... um, Choi Minho?
Minho: (cold stare) Mwo?
Jaejin: Ah, i, i just wanna know... where, where did u went to just now?
Minho: (looks away) I went to help Jinki sunbae...
Jaejin: Jinki sunbae?? the president?
Minho: (nods)
Jaejin: Ah, really? then, excuse me... (runs to his seat)

He doesn't show any expression and stares at his book. even though his heart is racing like crazy when he's talking to EunShi just now. he's about to ask her whether she's ok or not, but that stupid monitor just came and destroy everything. but, he can ask her after this, or during recess, or after school, during the club activities! club? oh yes! EunShi hasn't decide which club to join yet!! he closes his book and turns his head. however, right before he turns, Sulli and Hyomin rush to her..

Sulli: EunShi, EunShi! are u ok??
Hyomin: Yeah! yeah! are u hurt?
Sulli: We're so worried about u!
Hyomin: (nods) Um! gwenchanayo??
EunShi: Ah, (smiles bitterly) ye... gwenchana... thanks for asking...
Sulli: Jeongmal? uh... here... (puts a bottle on her desk) drink it! u'll feel energized again!
EunShi: Huh? (takes the bottle) green tea? where's the label?
Sulli: Ah? (blush) it's... it's from my house...
EunShi: Your house? oh, u made it?
Sulli: (nods and blush)
Hyomin: It's great! Sulli's family have been planning to sell it! (smiles)
EunShi: Really? that's great! (smiles)

Suddenly...

Soojung: Huh? (approaches them) do u really think EunShi would've want to drink that?
Suzy: Euww... that's nasty... she'll never drink something so cheap like that...
Soojung: Ah! i got it now!!
Suzy: Hmm? mwoya? mwoya?
Soojung: Now i know why these two beggars befriends with EunShi!
Suzy: Huh? wae?
Soojung: Because the want to take advantage of her!!
Suzy: Advantage? u mean... oh!! now i get it!! oh, that's awful!!
Soojung: Isn't it??
Suzy: (nods) Um! EunShi! u shouldn't hang out with these kind of people! they're only going to play with your money!!
Soojung: Yes!!

Now, everyone gives a dirty look to both of them. Sulli is about to cry and Hyomin is as red as a lobster. irritated, EunShi stands.

EunShi: Get out of my sight, u two!
Soojung: Omo, poor them~
EunShi: I said u two! (looks at Soojung and Suzy)
Suzy: Mwo??
Sulli: EunShi-ah... gwenchana yo... i'm used to it...

Soojung: Mwo??? we're saving u from them, yet u said this to us??
EunShi: (stares) Did i ever tell u to save me?
Suzy: That's rude!
EunShi: Mwo? did i swear? did i curse?
Suzy: Uh! just because u're the Director's granddaughter, doesn't mean u can talk down to us like that!!
EunShi: When did i talk down to u? watch what u're saying, missy. i don't come here because of my grandfather.

Soojung: Suzy! (covers her mouth)
Suzy: Het he ho!! [let me go]
EunShi: Oh, really? (death stare)
Soojung&Suzy: Huh?

EunShi: No. but i don't care about that, since u guys don't know me.

EunShi: I don't mind u talk about me, but...
Suzy: But what?
EunShi: Don't u dare talk bad about my friends!!
Suzy: What?? them??
EunShi: Yes! they're my friends!
Suzy: U stood up for them? for the beggars?
EunShi: And don't call them that!
Suzy: What?
EunShi: They're no beggars! yes, u may have more money than they do, but, if u're talking about manners, u're lower than them!
Suzy: I'm, i'm what?
EunShi: Don't expect me to not know u and your family, Bae Suji...
Suzy: Huh? (turning red)
EunShi: (whisper) I still remember how your father begs my father to help your company when u're about to bankrupt, seven years ago...
Suzy: Mwo.. mwo? (shivers)
EunShi: We don't want anyone to know how u eat from the garbage can right?
Suzy: (falls down) U, u... u knew??
Soojung: Suzy!
EunShi: (evil smile) I do.. and i still remember it correctly... every detail of it...
Suzy: (bows) Mian, mianhae!! jeongmal mianhae!!
Soojung: Suzy?
EunShi: I assume we're good now?
Suzy: (nods) Ye! we are... we are...
EunShi: Good... please be aware that i hate using this kind of thing...
Suzy: Yes. most certainly... i'll never forget...
EunShi: (walks to her seat and opens the bottle)
Sulli: Ah! u don't, u don't have to drink it...
EunShi: Huh? but u give it to me...
Sulli: No, that's not what i mean...
EunShi: So, i can drink it right?
Sulli: Ah...

EunShi takes a sip and drinks it. almost half of it...

EunShi: It's great! Hyomin, u're right!
Sulli: Real, really?
EunShi: (nods) Seriously!
Hyomin: U like it? (smiles)
EunShi: (nods)
Sulli: U're not lying??
EunShi: I'll never say i like something unless i really like it. (smiles)
Sulli: (teary eyes) Go, gomapda...
EunShi: (smiles and takes out a handkerchief) It's nothing... (wipes her tears)
Sulli: Ah... (touched) jeongmal kamsahamnida...
Hyomin: Told u she's gonna like it... (pats her shoulder)
EunShi: Can i have this tomorrow too?
Sulli: For sure!!
EunShi: (smiles) Great!

Minho, who's looking at the window, smiles. he love hearing the way she talks and how she treats people. he's touched. for some people, they may think she's a fake. but to him, she's a pure kind. she's so modest, and lovely. and his feelings grow harder for her. and now he wonders, does she like him??

*Recess...

Jinwoon heads to Class 1-1 to look for Kibum. when he got there, he's nowhere to be found. so, he asks the guys...

Jinwoon: Hey... do u know where Kibum is?
Boy: Kibum?
Jinwoon: (nods) Yeah...
Boy: He hasn't enter the class since the first period...
Jinwoon: Huh??
Boy 2: He got into another quarrel with Lee EunShi...
Jinwoon: Mwo??
Boy: (nods) It's pretty bad...
Jinwoon: Thanks for telling me that! (runs)

Jinwoon knows where he went to. he knows. and he rushes to the roof top, and he's right. Kibum is leaning against the wall, with an empty look on his face. he looks pathetic, he must say. he approaches him and sit next to him...

Jinwoon: U look awful, man.
Kibum: (silent)
Jinwoon: (sighs) What now?
Kibum: She... (rough voice) she must hate me now...
Jinwoon: Ya... u don't know...
Kibum: She does! i know!! she hated me!! she really do!!
Jinwoon: Kibum! calm yourself! why're u being like this??
Kibum: I can't forget her, Jinwoon. i can't. she's stuck in here! (hit his head) in here! (hit his chest) she's all over me!! i can't forget her!! there's no way i could!!
Jinwoon: Man, calm down... u're miserable... u're thinking straight right now...
Kibum: No! no! i want her, Jinwoon, i want her!!!
Jinwoon: Kim Kibum!!
Kibum: (shakes head) I can't... i can't get her out of my mind! out of my sight! she's everywhere!!
Jinwoon: Kibum...
Kibum: Why is this happening to me, Jinwoon? wae?? wae... (tears)
Jinwoon: (pats his shoulder) She's your first love right?
Kibum: (nods)
Jinwoon: Then don't force yourself... she'll eventually fade away...
Kibum: I don't want her to...
Jinwoon: Kibum!
Kibum: What? u can't expect me to forget her!
Jinwoon: That's your problem, man! it's not that u can't forget her! it's because u don't want to forget her! geez! i don't understand ex-lovers!
Kibum: U... uh...
Jinwoon: (shakes head) Enough... if u don't want to forget her, then win her back.
Kibum: Huh?
Jinwoon: Win her back. or do u want to see her with someone else?

Right at that moment, Kibum recalls the face of his enemy, Minho. snap! he remembers the image he saw when he's hallucinating. and, he doesn't want that to happen. he never will.

Kibum: No!
Jinwoon: There u have it... win her back... play your game...
Kibum: (nods) Yes! i will! (stands) i'll win her back!
Jinwoon: That's the spirit! (smiles) go man!!
Kibum: Yes!! thanks man! (pats him)
Jinwoon:  No problem, bro... but, before that...
Kibum: Huh?
Jinwoon: Wash yourself. u look like u haven't take a bath for one week.
Kibum: Huh?? i look that awful??
Jinwoon: Yeah... uh maybe, much worse...
Kibum: It can't be!
Jinwoon: (points to the door's glass) Take a look of yourself...
Kibum: (looks)

As Kibum sees his own reflection, he screams...

Kibum: No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
