Kim Minju's POV

"Where the hell are you?" I muttered.

It's been almost an hour since Yuri left.

We were supposed to eat lunch together but she left after talking to that girl.

We only have 10 minutes 'til classes start.

I tried calling her phone.

It kept ringing and ringing until she finally picks up.

"YAH JO YURI. YOU STUPID HAMSTER WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? YOU BITCH, CLASS IS STARTING SOON. " I kinda yelled on the other line.

I heard a sigh.

"Uhm... Is she your friend?" The other line spoke.

This isn't Yuri's voice

"I'm sorry but may I ask who this is and why do you have my friend's phone? Did you steal it?" I said with an accusing tone.

"Actually your friend is currently in the school clinic. Someone brought her here earlier. Oh and by the way, I didn't steal your friend's phone. I'm the school nurse." The other line said.

WAIT MY FRIEND IS IN THE CLINIC?

I hung up the call and hurried to the clinic.

It took me several minutes to reach the clinic.

I opened the door and the first person I saw was a woman in her mid-20s, I assume.

She's probably the nurse, she's dressed like one.

"Excuse me. Where is Jo Yuri? I was informed that someone brought her here." I asked the women

"She's here." The woman walked to the 2nd bed and opened the curtain, revealing my friend.

Her body lying unconsciously.

She looked so... tired.

"I was the one who called earlier. I'm sorry for accusing you and for hanging up the phone. I ran off after you said my friend was in trouble." I explained to the nurse.

She just nodded and said, "It's fine. I'm glad someone called her phone. It's been 30 minutes since someone brought her here but no one ever called her phone and went to see her here."

"Who..." I said and looked at the nurse "Who brought her here?"

"I'm not really sure but I think I heard your schoolmates call her Chaemin or was it Chaesoo or was it Chaeyoung?" The nurse scratched her neck while trying to remember the name, "Oh, right... I think it was Chae...won?" She looked unsure, "Yeah, I think her name's Chaewon."

My eyes widen when I heard what the nurse said.

C-Chaewon? as in KIM CHAEWON?

No fucking way.

"Ch-chaewon? oh okay." I replied, trying hard not to stutter.

It could be Park Chaewon.

Yeah, it could be.

Minju, don't overthink.

It could be Park Chaewon.

"Minju? Kim Minju, right?" The nurse said while she was reading some kind of document, "Can you take care of your friend? I have to go to the principal's office and report what happened to her." she continued.

wait.. but 3rd period is starting soon...

"Oh, don't worry I'll give you both passes as proof that you were here with me. You can give it to your teacher in the faculty room." She said and handed me the passes.

"Take care of your friend, I'll be coming back." after that she left.

I looked at Yuri.

I wonder what happened to her.

I feel really bad for her, she's been through a lot.

It's been almost 4 months since I met her. She's a transferee from Busan, she apparently ran away from home because of her abusive father.

What an unfortunate soul.

I kept looking at my phone while i was unconsciously holding Yuri's hand.

I somehow can't get it out of my head.

"Yeah, I think her name's Chaewon."
"Yeah, I think her name's Chaewon."
"Yeah, I think her name's Chaewon."

Why the fuck would she save Yuri?

it... just doesn't make sense.

"Kim Chaewon... Kim Chaewon" I kept repeating her name, like a mantra.

But on the bright side, at least she saved Yuri.

"Kim Chaewon... what are you up to?" I whispered bitterly.

"Ah... Min my hand hurts. stop squeezing it for fuck's sake", I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard my friend groan in pain.

WAIT, MY FRIEND?

I immediately looked at Yuri

"Omg, you bitch. You're awake? I'm sorry. How are you? Are fine? What happened? Are you hurt?" I said without breathing.

Yuri looked at me and gave me a reassuring smile.

"I'm fine, Min. You, how about school?" She asked me.

"I skipped. I wouldn't let you stay here alone— oh and the nurse gave me an excuse or something like that." I said.

"Thanks, Min." Yuri held my hand and caressed it.

"It's nothing, Yul... but what happened to you? who did this to you? Was it the girl who talked to you earlier?" I asked her with concern.

"No... the girl who talked to me earlier told me that someone wanted to talk to me. She said she doesn't know who and she just found a note in her locker that says 'Tell Jo Yuri to go to room 11—C at the 2nd year's building' and I obviously went there and I saw this guy and he told me he liked me and I said no and he got angry and this girl showed up... the guy called her Kim Chae... won? Yeah, Kim Chaewon, and I guess she saved me?" Yuri explained.

Fuck. It's really THAT Chaewon.

"The guy... what's his name?" I asked her.

That motherfucker has to pay for what he did to my friend.

"I saw his name tag... it was Kim Woojin. I think he's in his 3rd year?" Yuri said.

"What an asshole," I said.

"Anyways... are you feeling okay now? I heard you fainted. Let me see your bruises" I said but Yuri just looked away and said, "I'm okay... Min... there is no need. I was probably just shocked by what happened." Yuri said in a small voice.

"Min... I remember him... m-my father. He used to hurt me like that and I thought I was finally free from abuse but I guess i.... wasn't" Yuri whispered and started crying.

"Shh... it's fine, my love. No one will ever hurt you again. I'm right here, you will never go through the same thing again." I hugged her and patted her back.

"You'll be fine, love... I'll stay here," I said.

Yuri just sobbed.

I feel bad for her.

She doesn't deserve this.

No one does.

No one deserves to be sexually harassed or physically abused.
