Chapter 6 ~ Alter Ego
"Jun Hae." I say turning to him. His expression suddenly changes, he's angry much more angrier - it shows in his eyes: they're furious almost as if their flaming in his pupils. I place my hand on his shoulder turning away from the bullies. I stare at them narrowing my eyes and giving them a serious and frightening glare, "Let's go." The guys flinch as they catch my glare.
I press my fingers against the nape of his neck as I try to calms him down. "Let's go." I repeat. I feel Jun Hae loosen a bit, his shoulder relaxing and releases a big heavy pant. He turns away from them but I can hear a low growl from him as he follows me.
"They're not worth your time Jun Hae." I say seriously, kind of scolding him a bit.
"But they piss me off." He says clenching his fist behind his back.
"I'll say this again." I say looking at him, "They are not worth your time."
His shoulders relaxes and he's unable to look up and look into my eyes. I grab his chin and lifts his head forcefully, his eyes shows still, his fierce side yet there's sadness lingering beneath the aggressiveness and I stare into his eyes seriously. "Alright?" I ask finally demanding an answer.
"You changed," he says all of a sudden.
I flinch. "I didn't change. You just got to know me better." I know it's the best thing to say and I never liked people thinking I changed - I never did, I'm myself and I will never think and try to be someone else. Jun Hae smiles, he didn't get offended - maybe he became to soft but he has sudden personality changes when the situation becomes really bad. It's like he's developed an altar ego, another side of Jun Hae finally showing itself.
"That's good to know." He says. His words and the way he says it pierces my heart again and I feel it being burned or either compressed so tit it's difficult to breath. I don't know if they were lies or if he's an imposter. I shake my head removing those thoughts from my head feeling a sense of guilt for thinking such a horrible way about him, after being so kind and sweet to me.
"At least I got to you better." Jun Hae smiles warmly and I smile as I see him so happy, it makes me laugh.
I giggle, "You're so weird Jun Hae." I try holding my laugh, and Jun Hae looks puzzled but he's able to laugh with me. It brightens the mood and it feels like I'm in a fairy tale.
"I am?" He asks while laughing. "Is it a bad thing?"
"No." I say giving him a smile. "I think weird people are awesome. When I say someone is weird, I really like them and I think they are better than normal people."
"Oh." Jun Hae smiles. "I feel happy for you to think of me that way."
We laughed all away when I realize my hand is still place on his shoulder. I quickly pull my hand away luckily Jun Hae didn't notice at all and just keep on laughing. I laugh back as we both walk together to the cafeteria.
