Strange

C H A P T E R 8
YUNA'S POV

The bus finally arrived at the school. I stood up from my seat, and Ryujin unnie started to rush to get out of the bus. That was weird. I remember her being calm every day, not caring about stuff. Even if she's late in her class, she's still calm.

I shrugged my shoulders and clung my school bag to my shoulder. I looked at the bus aisle and saw that Kai was there. He looked at me, and I felt that I got frozen for a split second.

I smiled at him, but he ignored me and got off the bus.

I heard a girl chuckled, and It made me close my eyes and sigh. Of course, Wonyoung's here, what did I expect.

"Ignored, I see," She said and stood up from her seat.

I rolled my eyes and got off the bus. While walking towards my classroom, my hair got pulled by the all-popular Wonyoung.

"Who the hell are you to him? For him to protect you ugly bitch?" I grabbed her hand, but then all of her friends started to kick my calves, and slap my face, that I lost my balance and hit the ground hard on my knees.

Of course, the guidance counselor doesn't care. Wonyoung is the daughter of the school principal.

"Hey." I heard a male student's voice said. I looked up to see who it was. It was Kai. Again.

"Do you know that bullying is illegal?" He asked.

"Do you know that I'm the daughter of the school principal?" Wonyoung asked.

"Do you know that I don't give a shit about that?" He said and pushed Wonyoung to the side. Without thinking that she's the daughter of the school principal or even a girl.

"The second you touch her again, you'll have to deal with me."

Shocked, I looked at Kai, and his face looked serious. The next thing I knew, he was dragging me somewhere I don't know.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked with an annoyed look.

"To the clinic? You're wounded, can't you see?" He said, furrowing his eyebrows, and pointed out my knees

I looked at it and saw that it was indeed wounded. I didn't feel pain. Then he started to drag me again. I finally got the strength to pull my wrist back. He looked at me and asked me what's my problem.

"You're dragging me!" I shouted. The bell rang, but both of us didn't care.

He looked at me from head to toe. His facial expression changed from annoyed to soft. He walked towards me and held my wrist gently.

"Why do you keep letting people hurt yourself?" He asked in a very soft voice.

"Come on. You have to let the nurse check your wound," He said.

He held my waist with his left hand. I felt my heart beating again so fast. While walking, I was looking down, hiding my blushing cheeks. I got frozen in a split second when he put my hair behind my ear. He's acting weird.

We both stopped walking, and I realized that we were already in front of the clinic.

I knocked on the door, and he removed his hand from my waist.

"Come in." I heard the school nurse said.

Both of us went inside, and he immediately explained what happened.

"Of course, that girl Wonyoung bullied someone again." the school nurse rolled her eyes and prepared all the things to sanitize my wound.

I flinched when she started to clean my wound. I tightened my fist to prevent myself from crying. I was breathing heavily, and I felt my heart skipped a beat when Kai's warms hands held mine.

I looked at him, but he wasn't looking at me, he is looking at my wound getting cleaned. I looked into his eyes, and he looked worried. But why?

Why again?

The nurse finished cleaning my wound, and we finally got out of that school clinic. I assumed that we'd be parting our ways after that, but he insisted to walk with me towards my classroom. That's just strange of him.

Fortunately, our teacher's late today, and I will not receive demerits for being late.

"Look, the lovebirds are here." I heard one of my male classmates said.

One of them whistled at us.

"Doing something on the vacant classroom?" All of my classmates laughed, excluding my best friend, Ahn Yujin. I knew what my classmate was referring to, but I ignored his thought.

"Look, our classmate stopped being a goody-two-shoes and started to date gangster." and once again, all of them laughed.

"Can you all stop?" Yujin shouted.

I looked at Kai one last time. He nodded at me and went to his class.

"Seriously, what happened?" Yujin asked me.

Ahn Yujin, she's my best friend. Also, our class president. One of the most beautiful junior girls here in our school.

I pointed out my knee, and she furrowed her eyebrows, worried.

"What happened?" She asked.

"You're best friend happened," I said. It was Wonyoung that I was talking about.

"Ex," she corrected me. She hates it when I tell her that Wonyoung's her best friend. She got sick of her personality and eventually left Wonyoung's group.

I chuckled, and after a few minutes, our teacher came in rushing, putting down all of his things, and started his lesson for the day.

Classes were dismissed when it started raining again. I heard on the news that this is going to be a rainy week.

I was about to walk towards the guardhouse when I heard a car horn behind me. I turned around, but the headlights were too bright for me to see who the driver was.

When I got used to its brightness, I saw that it was Kai. He gave me a sign to go to him, so I did.

"What?" I asked.

"Get in," He said without looking at me.

"I'll walk," I said.

"I said get in." He now said it seriously, with a serious look facing me.

Like a fool I am, I got into his car and drove.

"You're taking me home, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's safer this way," He said.

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused with his strange actions these past few days.

"Seriously, Kai, What's gotten into you?" I asked. He didn't speak.

"You've been worrying about me, suddenly protecting me from all of the bullies. You haven't done that since I was fourteen. It's strange of you," I said.

I saw him stilled a bit and focused on the road.

"I want to do that," He said.

Still confused. I was about to open my mouth to speak again, but he pulled in front of my house. He looked at me deep in the eyes. I can see his brown eyes clearly, and it was beautiful and mesmerizing.

I snapped out from being drowned into his stare, and he said. "I want to because you're too special."
