~Ding dong~
Kyung Hee stopped putting her toys away and looked up at
the front door. ‘Hmm…I wonder who it could be?’
“Kyung Hee! Answer the door!”
“Okay grampie.”
When she opened the door she saw a pretty lady and the boy
she helped earlier. “Hi!” She grabbed Sung Hoon’s
hand. “Are you okay?” Sung Hoon just looked
at her and didn’t answer.
“Oh you two already met?”
“Not really. I don’t even know his name.”
“I see. You can call me Mrs. Kang and this is my boy
Sung Hoon.
Is your grandfather home?”
“Ah huh. My name is So Kyung Hee. Come in.”
Kyung Hee closed the door behind them. Then she ran upstairs
to get her grandpa. Then the grandpa told her, “Why
don’t you and Sung Hoon go outside while Mrs. Kang
and I have a talk?” “Okay grampie. Come on Sung
Hoon,” she said as she pulled him out of the house
with her.
When they got outside Kyung Hee felt a hard shove behind
her back. She fell on the grass but something there cut
her leg and made her bleed. She looked up and saw Sung Hoon
glaring at her with the coldest eyes she has ever seen.
‘Don’t pretend you want to be my friend,’
thought Sung Hoon. He was going to make Kyung Hee pay for
what Ji Won and Tae Won did to him.
“Why did you push me?”
“I hate ugly girls! And you are really damn oogly!”
Kyung Hee opened her mouth in shock. She began to cry. Sung
H felt bad but he was still mad at what those guys did to
him so he wasn’t going to stop.
“What? Oh, are you crying? You are such a baby!”
That made Kyung Hee instantly stop. She stood up. “I’m
not a baby!”
“Yes you are!” Sung Hoon yelled back.
Then he yanked on one of her braids and pulled the ivory
ribbon out. “Ow!” She yanked back her hair and
then replied, “You’re the baby! Who was crying
inside my fridge huh?” That made Sung Hoon really
mad. He pushed her hard. She fell down and cried really
loud. Her grandpa and Mrs. Kang ran out.
“What happened Kyung Hee?”
Kyung Hee pointed her finger at Sung Hoon. She began to
sob again. “He…he—“
“I accidentally made her fall,” cut in Sung
Hoon.
Kyung Hee looked up at Sung Hoon in shock. ‘That liar!’
she thought. “I’m sorry,” said Sung Hoon
as he began to bawl. He looked at Kyung Hee with his puppyish
eyes.
“I didn’t mean to make you fall.”
Mrs. Kang held Sung Hoon. “I know you didn’t
mean to make Kyung Hee fall.”
Then her grandpa asked, “Are you okay Kyung Hee?”
Kyung Hee looked up and saw Sung Hoon’s lips move.
“Baby,” he said loud enough just for her to
hear. Kyung Hee bit her lip. "I’m okay grampie.
It was an accident.”
“I’m sorry Mr. So but I have to be home and
prepare dinner for my husband.
It was a pleasure meeting you. Bye Kyung Hee!”
“Bye,” said Sung Hoon and he gave Kyung Hee
a wave. Kyung Hee watched them as they left. Then she saw
Sung Hoon turn around and giver her a little smirk. She
glared back at him.
‘It’s war. I’m going to hurt you one of
these days Kang Sung Hoon,’ she promised herself.
This was the beginning of a NOT so beautiful friendship…
Part 4
Five years later…
During these years Sung Hoon and Kyung Hee went to school
together everyday. Kyung Hee was the target of Sung Hoon’s
tortures every single day. He would call her names and hit
her. He would push her around in school but in front of
adults, he would act like he was her best friend. It was
a nightmare for Kyung Hee because Sung Hoon requested to
have every single class with her and he was her partner
in every single project. What’s worse was Sung Hoon
became the most popular boy in school so she couldn’t
get anyone on her side to help her avoid him. Also during
this time, Sung Hoon met Kim Jae Duc and Lee Jae Jin. It
took them a while before Sung Hoon would trust them. Eventually
they became Sung Hoon’s best friends as they hang
out together more often. He let them in on the fun of teasing
Kyung Hee but he would never let them physically harm her.
And so it begins…Junior High…
“Heads up!”
Kyung Hee glanced up and saw a blurry object headed her
way. Before she could block it, it hit her right smack on
the head and gave her a bruise. “Ow!” she yelled
and began to rub the spot where it hit her head. Sung Hoon
began to walk towards her. He was the one who threw the
football.
“Aww…did it hurt?”
Kyung Hee glared at him but he just smiled at her. She clenched
her teeth and answered, “No.” Right behind Sung
Hoon was Jae Duc and Jae Jin. They were laughing.
“Hope you didn’t make her cry man!” said
Jae Jin.
Jae Duc shook his head. “Naw…her head has too
many bones in it.”
“Maybe that’s why they call her ‘BoneHead!’”
yelled Sung Hoon.
All three of them started busting out laughing and gave
each other high-fives. Kyung Hee stood up.
“You idiots! There are no bones in the head!
You don’t know anything! No wonder all of you are
so dumb to make that stupid joke.
I hope all three of you fail and repeat eighth grade!”
Jae Jin looked at her. “Aww…you don’t
mean that Kyung Hee.
Cuz that means you’ll graduate before Sung Hoon.”
“Yeah,” added Jae Duc. “You don’t
want to leave your Sung Hooney, do you?”
Kyung Hee’s face turned red. “Shut up Jae Jin
and Jae Duc! Kang Sung Hoon is nothing of mine!” She
points a finger at Sung Hoon. “I hate you!”
Sung Hoon just gave her a smile and said, “No you
don’t.”
“Ahhh!” she screamed and then stomped off to
class.
' Those jerks,’ Kyung Hee thought. ‘Damn you
Sung Hoon. Act like you’re King of the school. I hope
you get kicked off your throne Your Majesty!’ She
began to imagine herself choking Sung Hoon and she wasn’t
watching where she was going. Then she felt herself bump
into someone.
“Ow!” said a voice.
“Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t watching
where I was going.
Here let me help you up.”
Kyung Hee bent down to help the guy up. She noticed he had
a long neck and really beautiful eyes. Then she cursed herself
for staring at him. He was cute!
“Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay.”
He gave her a really sweet smile. “By the way, my
name is Ko Ji Yong. And you are?”
“I’m So Kyung Hee. Nice to meet you Ji Yong
oppa.
Are you new here?”
“Yeah. First day.”
“Let me see your schedule.”
Kyung Hee looked at the list Ji Yong gave her. “Hey
you take Tae Kwon Doe?”
“Yeah. I’m the Junior Champion back at my old
school.
So do we have any classes together?”
“Really? That’s tight! Hmm…we have four
classes together.”
‘He has four out of six classes with me,’ she
thought. ‘Damn and that monster Sung Hoon has all
six with me. Maybe Ji Yong will be the only guy here who
won’t listen to Sung Hoon and pick on me. Who knows?
He might even kick Sung Hoon’s butt in Tae Kwon Doe!’
Just the thought of Sung Hoon getting beat up made Kyung
Hee yelled out, “Yay!”
Ji Yong looked at her surprised. “Why are you so happy?”
“Oh nothing. Come on Ji Yong oppa.
Let me take you to your first class with me.”
