You hear me ?

Hello, do you hear me ?

I would start my day by staring at the framed picture on my nigthstand.

Its a picture of me with her, smiling brightly next to me, in my arm. It was taken during my birthday party in the class, and she was the one who planned it. It is probably the best day of my life, because for the first time in my life- she finally willingly giving me a hug. Saying its a birthday present.

It was always me who gives her a hug and the one who comfort her whenever she's break down and cry. She always depends on me when she needs help, and ofcourse I will always be there for her.

Its all started when she was being bullied by some thug- about two years ago. She was curling up her body while sobbing in the corner, laughter of the thugs catch my ears- and that is when the first time I saw her. I couldnt see her face, her gaze, her eyes... because she is hiding it with her long hair. I dont know why but I have the urge to look at her. Curiousity just fills in me and the next thing I knew is I already take my step infront of the thugs.

They are about four or five of them, I can barely remember because all I can see at the moment is her. She is trembling in the corner while hugging her knees in fear. I clenched my teeth, seeing her in that condition just hurts me.

Thats weird.

I dont even know her name.

I could feel my cheeks went numbed when one of them decided to punched me. My eyes widened and I glared at them, saying that they are going to regret it if they keep on bullying the girl.

Then I got punched so badly by the five of them that I needed to be send to the hospital. But its okay, because she's safe and she was right next to me all the way to the hospital until the moment I open my eyes.

She was there with her bright smiles.

"Hello, do you hear me ?" was the first thing she said to me, its like I am listening to an angels voice.

Her voice sounds so beautiful.

On that day, I got to know her name and find out that she is actually planning to transfer to my school due to the bullies. She said that she is going to my school because of me.

And I am glad she make that decision.

I break into a small smile as my finger travelled on her bright smile, until my mum's loud screamed make me flinched.

"KIM JONG DAE YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE STOP STARING AT THE PICTURE AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL"

I chuckled toward my mum's weird voice and hop off my bed, doing my morning routine and get ready for school.

The moment I open the door I could see her standing next to the gate, swaying her right feet through the small pebbles by the road. I could hear to her sweet humming from here, and it was like that every morning since the day we met. We would walked together for school because it is just about 500 metres from my house.

"I told you to wait for me at your house, guys should do the work" I said for nth times and like always- she would answer with her giggles first. "Its okay, my house is not that far, Chen"

Chen.

The name she gives me since a year ago. I dont really know the reasons but I think it is because of her interest in chinese culture, plus her father is a chinese. Maybe that is where she get the Chen, and she decided to call me by that name ever since. It becomes a habit of her to called me by that name that my classmate thought my real name is Chen.

I can rarely hear someone called me Jongdae anymore. She would call me by that Jongdae name but I think she prefer Chen better.

"Lets go~ we will be late" she whined when I tying my shoelaces. I turned to her, mouthed 'wait' but she gives me a pout instead. I chuckled and get the shoelace done, I quickly run over to her and grab her arm.

"We are going to be late, lets go" I said and she giggled.

They are no days I wouldnt listen to her giggles. They are so sweet and like musics to me.
