How could anyone hurt someone so precious?

He also observed the scratches on her arm and face that she had gotten from school, and the redness and nail marks around her wrist.

"I'm sorry." Mirae spoke quietly as she put away the cream and scrunched up the band aid wrapping.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because you got hurt."

"Mirae, you have nothing to be sorry about. I should have held you closer and protected you from your mum and Hana." He grabbed the tube of cream as he applied some onto Mirae's arm, placing a band aid on it as he spoke.

"I'm really sorry for everything Mirae. The fake relationship, the kiss, everything. I was only thinking of myself and how to keep myself safe when I should've been protecting you." He placed a bandaid on Mirae's face as he looks into her eyes. Sunwoo took Mirae's hand, rubbing the back of it with his thumb.

"I'm gonna be honest too Mirae, I like you." He looked at her with a smile as she sat shocked and unsure of what to say.

"I know we haven't spent a lot of time together, but every single second I spend with you feels like I'm special, like someone cares for me for who I truly am. I was stupid to treat you like that."

"Sunwoo I don't know..." Mirae looked down at their hands as she pondered what to do. It wasn't easy to trust him again, after all this week has been eventful in itself where she had lost a friend, been confronted by her abusive mother and of course the kiss with Sunwoo. It would be a lie to say that she was okay, when she clearly wasn't.

"I know, I thought you would say that... but that doesn't mean I'm gonna give up, I'm not gonna go anywhere from beside you and I'll win your trust and heart back. That I can promise." Sunwoo smiled widely as Mirae returned a small one, her cheeks rising with heat at every sentence he spoke.

"Starting now." Sunwoo kissed Mirae's cheek as he pulled her into a hug.

"Sunwoo this is a bit..." Mirae froze again as her heartbeat increased rapidly and her face began going red.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have done that without askin- wait are you blushing?" Although Mirae wasn't looking at him, she could feel his smirk burn through the side of her head as she covered her face with her hands.

"No I'm not, it's just a bit hot in here." Sunwoo pulled away her hands as he leaned closer to her face.

"Is that cause I'm here?" He tilted his head, smiling innocently at the flustered girl, enjoying the close proximity of each other.

"No it's not!" Mirae stood up covering her face as she cursed at herself.

It wasn't long until she was pulled back down by Sunwoo who held onto her waist as he sat her on his lap, so that she was facing the side.

"Are you sure?" Mirae was now dying inside, she was so embarrassed and confused at the situation.

"I'll tell you something I do know Sunwoo, is that I'm very embarrassed at the moment and don't think I can look at you straight." All she heard was his laugh before he guided her head to his shoulder, hugging her tightly.

"I'm actually very embarrassed too and have no idea what I'm doing, but if it means I can get my girlfriend back I'll do it."

Mirae just scoffed standing up, pulling him up with her, grabbing his bag and dragging him to the door.

"Here's your bag, I think you can leave now." She tried pushing him out the door, but he wouldn't budge.

"What? Why? What if that weird lady comes back?" He looked at her with a pout, crossing his arms.

"She won't, you said she won't... I can trust you that much." She looked at the taller boy who smiled widely once again.

"You look really cute right now by the way... now get out!" Mirae shut her eyes tightly, pushing him with all her might.

"Aww you look cute too I'll see you tomorrow Mirae! Bye, I love you!" Sunwoo giggled like a little kid as he skipped out the door, hugging his backpack waving at Mirae frantically.

Mirae just waved back, laughing to herself as she closed the door, a wave of reality hitting her as she cupped her face, grabbing onto her hair as she screamed quietly. She jumped up and down like a kid as she covered her mouth, remembering the scene that just happened.

"I love you too I guess..."
