Paramedic; Sheep Garden

Author's POV


"We're in love, don't you get it?"


Thud


Yeji's vision went black at Hana's respond. Her fear became reality. Her worries, all of them, were true. She just witnessed and heard it from themselves, enough to make Yeji collapse to the ground. Ryu Jin rushed to her side, shaking her body, telling her to wake up.


If glare could kill, both Hana and Yeonjun would be drop dead by now. She gave them both a deep death glare and when to carry the heartbroken girl away from them. Ryu Jin's were crashed by the fact that not even a single guilt was shown in Yeonjun's eyes.


She knew it, she knew it all along. Her prediction about Yeonjun was correct. So does Yeji's.


"That f*cker, I swear to god I'll crush them down if they ever approach us one day"

"She's alright, nothing serious. She's just too overwhelmed and stressed.", the young boy put his stethoscope inside his bag and packed up his things. He then wrote a prescription for her medicine and gave it to the blonde strap hair girl.


"Thanks, Jungwon. If you're not around, I don't know how to bring her back home", said the elder girl. The boy humbly bowed to her and smiled warmly.


" It's fine, noona. It's my job as a paramedic to help others who needs me"


A few seconds after, they heard a loud bang as they saw Hyunjin rushed towards Yeji. He held her hands in his as he worriedly looked her pale figure.


"Who did this to her??", his simple word was enough to scared Jungwon and Ryu Jin who hesitated to answer him. The youngster were trembling upon the elder's word. The tone he used was extremely rare, so rare that it only appeared when his siblings were hurt.


" Answer me!!", he harshly exclaimed, making Ryu Jin and Jungwon jolted in fear.


"I-It's Yeonjun, h-hyung", the sheep boy stuttered.


" And what about him? What did he do?", he stood up and faced the youngster with red eyes. His veins were popping out and he firmly clenched his fist.


"W-we caught him cheating on her",Ryu Jin looked down, she was afraid if Hyunjin would throw a tantrum but then, she was surprised he didn't. The elder sense their fear and decided to calm down. "I won't bite, it's okay"


Both Ryu Jin and Jungwon looked up to Hyunjin who gave them a weak smile. No matter how mad he got, he would never hurt people physically. He pulled both of them in his embrace and he caressed their back to calm them down. He felt his shirt getting wet as he realized Ryu Jin was crying. Crying out of anger.


She was mad at Yeonjun, she was furious of him. She knew he would do that to Yeji, but why didn't she stop them from dating? That guy's sweet candy-coated word felt so true and convincing. Too convincing that it barely sounds fake.


"Hyung, I need to go. My brother is here", Jungwon let go of the hug. Hyunjin let both youngster out of his embrace as he nodded to the sheep-boy.


" Alright, send my hello to Jeongin"


"Aight, bye hyung..... bye noona"


"Bye, Sheep Garden" Ryu Jin joked causing both Hyunjin and Jungwon to burst out laughing. Even when she was hurting, she never let the others down and tried to lighten up the mood. She hate when her friends were too sad about something. So she would try hard to solve their misery. Yeji's misery.

Months had passed by, but Yeji still hadn't move on. She turned into dull and lifeless person. She would replied people with a word or two. She refused to make eye contact with anyone. Not when she always had to witness Yeonjun kissing Hana on the forehead early in the morning, just like the way he used to do to her.


Maybe, he did that to all his exes. After all, she had never saw Yeonjun that passionately in love with someone other than Hana. She slowly doubt his love for her. Was that really love or just an obsession of his towards her? Beside, nobody had rejected him the way Yeji did.


Maybe, the one Yeonjun really love was Hana all along. It would always be Kim Hana, not Hwang Yeji. She was only one of his exes who's heart was belongs to him, but his was belongs to Hana.


"Hi, Yeji. Let's have a lunch with me. My treat", Taehyun appeared out of nowhere behind Yeji who didn't bother to look at him. Part of him was glad that Hana did a great job in stealing Yeonjun away from her, but part of him felt a little guilt for taking her happiness away.


He too, didn't expect Yeonjun would be madly in love with Hana that fast. He wondered what did that filty girl do to the poor boy. Oh, as if he cared about it. He had his chance now, so he won't let it slide off his grip.


" C'mon, Yeji, it's been weeks since you'd been gloomy. Let's have fun for awhile.", he persuaded. No matter how much Yeji wanted to push him away, he would come again... He won't gave up, he refused to.


"Huh, alright. Just this once"


He secretly grinned. His love finally accepting his offer. After so long, he finally could feeling butterfly in his stomach again. He was longing for this, he wanted this. He deserved this. More like, his obsession wanted this.


As they headed to the canteen, Taehyun offered to order the food for Yeji as she looked for a bench to eat at. She found one, neat the vending machine. That spot was perfect as it was kind of isolated from the others. Alone and peaceful.


She went to sit there and wait for Taehyun to come with their foods. She got nothing to do so she just bounced her legs throughout the time while roaming her eyes around the canteen. But soon, her eyes met another eyes that belongs to someone she was longing for. The eyes of the person who made her heart ache but sending butterflies in her stomach at the same time.


'He cheated on me, but why does my heart said the other wise? Why do I feel that he's still into me?'


Nether less, they couldn't get back together. Impossibly couldn't. Because Yeji believed that her love was unrequited. She believed that her first love, won't love her back. He had Kim Hana, the pretty and smart girl who was the boy's ideal type.


"Stop looking at them, it'll pain you", her thoughts were interrupted by Taehyun who placed their foods in front of her. He looked at the girl in pity. He knew he should've felt happy, but her suffering was not part of his plan. It also pained him. He was the cause of the pain, but he felt the consequences too.



" Let's just eat, Jiji. Don't mind them, you have me", he said confidently.
