Chapter 6: Saved!... For Now
...the sight of Jeremy!
"What the hell is going on here?" Oppa screamed.
The young man let go of me and walked towards oppa.
"Nothing. We're just getting to know each other better, right Sang He sshi?" he said smiling.
Jeremy stared me who was against the wall and said, "Yeah I doubt that's what was happening."
Jeremy pulled out his cellphone and quickly dialed 119.
"Hello. There's a rapist at the southwestern building of Parang University." Jeremy said into the phone and hung it up.
"Jeremy, it's not what you think." Professor Park said.
"Oh it's exactly what I'm thinking." Jeremy said walking towards Professor Park. He punched him right in the face. That seemed to unfreeze me and I quickly called coordi noona.
"Noona, I'm in trouble. Come here right away!" I screamed into the phone and hung up.
Professor Park got up and punched Jeremy back. He ran to where the door was and but Jeremy caught him. He punched Professor Park in the stomach. Damn, Jeremy was actually strong despite his lean body. The fight continued for some time for they were in equal strength. I tried to kick him here and here so that he wouldn't try to touch me again. It must have been going on for a while because help arrived. Soon, Professor Park was arrested. The police told us that he was rapist that they have been looking for a while. I didn't notice but oppa had been hurt. He was bleeding from the sides of his lips.
"Oppa, you got hurt! Oh what do I do, you're bleeding." I said seeing my hands with his blood.
"That doesn't matter, are you alright?" Jeremy asked in an exhausted voice.
"Yeah…I'll be fine but we have to tend that wound." I said.
"I'll take care of it" one of the make-up artists said and cleaned his wound.
President Ahn arrived.
"I heard about what happened. Sang Me sshi, Jeremy go home now." President Ahn said.
"There's no problem since Jeremy shot his scenes already. Sang Me, you can go home too." Manager Ma said.
My expression must have been that of fear because he knew I was stalked.
"You probably don't want to go back home now, do you? I can't arrange a manager's lot for you now. Fine, stay at A. 's house for a couple of days. I believe that there's an empty room since Go Mi Nam left. Jeremy, you guys go together. We'll finish shooting the last scene and catch up later." Manager Ma said considerately.
"I'm not sure if I can do that. Won't it be a bother to A. ?"
"No, just for a couple of days. I'm sure they won't mind it." Manager Ma added.
As instructed, we took a taxi to the house. Dead silence filled the air through the ride. We got off the taxi after paying and walked up the stairs. Jeremy broke the silence.
"You! Are you an idiot? Out of all the people, you had to volunteer to bring the props? Out of the 50 people at the site, it had to be you. Did you know how worried I was? I noticed you were gone and asked Coordi noona. What if I didn't get there in time? Answer me!" Oppa exclaimed angrily.
"I didn't mean to worry you. I'm really grateful that you did save me! I really am!" I said back with tears in my eyes.
I continued saying with tears flowing in my eyes, "I couldn't… react quickly when he was on me…I was scared…" I didn't notice how shocked my body still was.
Slowly, he held my hand with a reassuring strength that eased me a little.
Softly, he said stroking my hair, "Oppa's sorry that he screamed at you. It's all alright, every things okay now. Oppa's right here."
Tears began to flow at the thought of what could have happened.
