Chapter 2

Me: Can we go in?

Dong-Gul: No.

He was walking towards the house, when a women came out.

Woman: Dong-Gul, are those your friends? Come, let them in, let them in!

I guessed that that was his mom. We entered the house. Dong-Gul had gone upstairs to his room.

*Switch to He-Ran P.O.V. (Point Of View)*

Dong-Gul's mom was very polite. She was wearing a hanbok(Traditional Korean dress).

Dong-Gul's Mom: I am so very happy happy that Dong-Gul has finally made friends.

Sang-Mi: Finally? He's never had friends before?

Dong-Gul's Mom: Well, I guess I will tell you. You are his friends after all. Dong-Gul used to be very popular, he made a lot of friends in 1st grade, but there was one girl who he was best friends with. Her name was Hae-Mi. They would do everything together; eventually Dong-Gul had developed a liking for this girl. But in 3rd grade Hae-Mi caught a mysterious illness and died a few day later. Dong-Gul went into a grave depression and started to think that he was at fault. It got even worse when his father died months later. Since those two incidents Dong-Gul blames himself for every bad thing that happens around him.

Sang-Mi: That's horrible!

I didn't care as much as my sister did. I never really liked Dong-Gul, but I admit that it's sad.

Dong-Gul's Mom(continuing): And now Dong-Gul's elder sister has come up with a lung disease. He goes to visit her every day. So since bad things have happened to the people he's close to he doesn't want to become friends with anyone, I guess you could say it's his way of protecting people.

Me: That's a bit of a stupid reason!

Sang-Mi: Sis!

Me: I'm sorry but it is!

Dong-Gul's Mom: What she is saying is true. I try to tell him that but he doesn't listen. Can you both go see him upstairs?

Sang-Mi: Ok!

*Switch to Dong-Gul's P.O.V.*

I was reading a book when the idiot and her sister came into my room.

Idiot: Hey Dong-Gul, we came up here to keep you company!

Me: I don't want company.

Idiot's sister: Well, your mother told us to, so meanwhile we'll be doing homework.

They were doing pretty well with their homework. I guess that idiot isn't as much of an idiot as I tho-

Idiot: Sis, I need help with a question

Idiot's sister: Which one?

Idiot: #1.

Never mind.

Idiot: The thing is they're asking me to multiply the two terms, but I don't see any.

Idiot's sister: They're right there.

Idiot: Oh! Those are terms!

Idiot's sister: How could you not know that! This is revision; we learned this in middle school!

Me: Hey idiot! You're not very good at math are you? That's pretty easy math.

Idiot: First of all, it's not math, its algebra and second of all, my name is not "idiot" it's Yu Sang-Mi.

Me: Ok Sang-Mi, I would like it if you finished up quickly, so you could leave my house.

Sang-Mi (still an idiot): But why? Aren't we friends?

Me: No.

Sang-Mi: Why not?

Me: Because I have no need for friends.

Sang-Mi: Yes you do! You just don't want to get hurt again.

How did she know that?

Me: How did y-

Sang-Mi: Your mom told us about Hae-Mi.

Me: …

Sang-Mi: So can you please give me a chance?

Me: …

Sang-Mi: Pretty please!

Me: *Sigh* F- fine.

I can't believe the words that just came out of my mouth! I just agreed to give this idiot a chance. I've gone mad!

Sang-Mi: Yes! So I could talk to you at school?

Me: Yeah…

Sang-Mi: And I could come over to your house?

Me: Yeah, whatever…

Sang-Mi: And-

Me: Yeah, yeah! Just shut up!

I think I just made a horrible mistake.
