I almost vomited because the three of us ate too much. We ate in an unli-samgyupsal restaurant when Wyn followed us.
Wyn said that he was taking care of the thing about his family's donation to an organization that takes in children.
The three really ate a lot, especially Latrelle. He even wanted to eat more but Wyn said he might get a bad stomach if he ate too much.
When we were driving back to the hospital, my phone lighted up in the middle of talking about ghosts.
"I already saw a ghost." Marcus laughed.
"Latrelle's a ghost. Especially on girls, he didn't like."
T.H
Stay outside after you arrive. Let's talk.
I gulped at his message.
I couldn't reply because I don't have a load. I couldn't even open messenger because my signal is also weak.
Latrelle and Marcus got off first. They went to the beautiful Santan flowers planted beside the hospital.
Wyn and I got off after a while.
"Go, Wyn. You can go inside first."
He nodded and entered the hospital. I can sight the silhouette of a tall and skinny man leaning against the car. He combed his hair using his fingers.
I went to him. Just a few steps and I already felt my heart going insane. I couldn't look straight at his eyes.
I jumped in surprise when he touched the necklace hanging on my neck. He observed it like it was a piece of a specimen.
The contact of our skin sent shivers down my spine. He reached the back of my neck and removed the necklace.
My palm automatically opened.
"Set that aside. This one looks better on you."
I was silent as he wore a necklace on me. It was a zodiac sign necklace.
He opened the door of the car and motioned me to enter inside. I obliged instantly like a robot.
We didn't talk much but it felt like our hearts were connected.
Not long after, we arrived at the shore of the lake. It was surrounded by lanterns.
"I prepared something simple."
The seashells were scattered on the sand. I know that it doesn't have sand but he put an effort and spent a lot on this.
He took his phone out and played a familiar song. It was the song I could never forget, not because it was the song I sang in the first contest I joined, but because he sang the song that had deep lyrics with me.
T. H. snakes his arm around my waist. He pulled my head to lean on his chest. We were dancing.
The place was tamed and peaceful because everyone was already asleep. Only the calm sound of the lake sang with the existing song.
"Happy birthday, Kaoree." He placed a warm kiss on my forehead.
It's been a few weeks, but every time I wake up in the morning, I still feel like everything was just a dream.
Lolita and Lucky already went back home. They wanted to stay longer but couldn't because Lucky had to attend school.
Now, we're about to play a sport in P. E. The sport they picked was soccer.
"You'll play soccer? You, a wimp?" Latrelle laughed while pouring coffee on Marcus' cup.
"I'm not obligating you to watch. I said it to Marcus, NOT YOU." I rolled my eyes and picked up my bag which was on the table.
"Hey! Where are you going?" he stopped me.
"To school, obviously. I'll get going." I turned to Marcus.
"Let me borrow it." I reminded him. He said he'll let me borrow his knee pad. He said he was a soccer player back then, just like T. H. and Yuan. But now, he couldn't play because he almost got injured.
"Why don't you just borrow from T. H., huh?" Jez suggested.
"Eh, I'm shy!"
I couldn't borrow from T. H. because embarrassment got the better of me. He caught me a lot of times while I was standing in front of his room, about to knock but can't proceed.
"When did you feel shame, girl? Your face is as thick as your bra's foam," Jez said while applying bb cream on her face. She's putting too much.
The two laughed loudly. I decided to just go ahead because I couldn't even have a normal conversation with them.
The afternoon came and so as the event I've been waiting for. Marcus handed me his knee pad in my section's classroom.
When we got to the field, I decided to leave my bag and use the comfort room.
"Hey! Good luck!" Melissa kissed my cheek. They're my opponents, she's grouped with Wanwan and Vanna.
Meanwhile, I was grouped with Sasha. We didn't really talk because she still have some hidden hatred towards me.
"Hey! Marcus will watch us, so good luck!" I said as she placed my face towel on my back.
"Just make yourself lose. I need this to show off to him." I rolled my eyes.
We came back to the field after we finished preparing ourselves. I moved hurriedly when our professor called us because the game's gonna start.
My things were scattered and I couldn't find my knee pad.
"Kaoree," Sasha called me.
"Ah, yes. I'm coming."
I was sad as I ran towards the center of the field. I looked at Marcus who was creasing his forehead while looking at my knees. I bit my lower lip.
Sorry, Marcus.
The game started and the ball was on our team. It was fortunate that I was used to playing soccer so it was just easy for me.
Wanwan stumbled with me a few times because we always end up with each other, especially now that she has the ball.
"Sorry." She winced.
"It's nothing."
We stole the ball when they didn't score. I was guarding the ball. I was looking around to see who was was free of tight defence. Sasha signalled so I ran quickly to her but...
Ouch!" My body fell. I grimaced in pain as I held my foot.
Wanwan unintentionally kicked my foot. It was quite strong because it was meant for the ball, but it ended up landing on my foot.
Melissa hurriedly went to me.
"Kaoree!" she held my foot. It was sore and very painful.
"Bruno! Carry Kaoree! Hurry up!" Wanwan called.
But before he could even come to me, T. H. already carried me. He didn't bother to mind his now dirty uniform.
"Hold tight," he said in a baritone voice.
Everyone's jaw was dropped as they watched us.
There are whispers everywhere while Melissa was screaming behind us.
But I could still feel the pain in my foot, I couldn't help but to move and cry on his arm.
"If you kept on crying, I'll kiss you in the middle of this crowd. So, stop crying now, I'll take you to the clinic."
I bit my lips. Well, go! He can just kiss me.
