Today is Monday. Hwan drove me to college. Hwan also told me, if I have to go home quickly, and if I want I can call him to pick me up. I say his word.
"Remember, don't go anywhere without my permission." Hwan.
"Yes, okay." I reply while nodding slowly.
Hwan closed the car glass and drove. Then it moves away and disappears on its own.
I let out a rough breath. I want to go, but Ga Eul is the guarantee. I don't want innocent people involved in my problems.
I walked to the medical school. Suddenly, someone patted me on the shoulder. I looked back.
"Xavier, can we talk together?" Ask Ga Eul to me. We haven't talked to each other for a long time, it feels a little awkward.
"Uhm.. alright." I answered, I nodded my head.
"We'll just talk here." Said Ga Eul.
"B.. all right.." I said.
Ga Eul looks to sigh. "Xavier, I want you to answer honestly. Are you all right? Lately you've been weird." Ask Ga Eul.
"I'm. I'm fine. It's just.." I hesitated to say it.
"You why? If you feel scared or threatened, just tell me, I'll protect you." Said Ga Eul.
I bite my lower lip, I can't hold my tears anymore. That clear liquid came out of my eyes. I cried, blasting all the pain and sadness I felt all along.
Ga Eul looked astonished to see me suddenly crying like this. He patted my back gently, trying to calm me down. I wiped the clear grains that fell onto my cheek.
"There must be a problem, right? Come on, be honest with me. Who knows I can help you." Said Ga Eul. I looked up to see his face, Ga Eul looked worried.
"A. I. I can't tell him. A.. I'm afraid if you're why-why me-" I haven't finished talking and Ga Eul has cut my words.
"That guy? S... who?" My toot.
"Hwan, Park Hwan Yoon's. Did he do anything to you?" Ask Ga Eul.
"Emmhhhh.. t. no, he t.. hiks... haa... huaaa.." I cried again. The tears kept coming out and would not stop.

^^Author's POV^^^
Ga Eul stared fixedly at Xavier's face, then hugged his tiny body. Ga Eul tries to calm Xavier down.
"If you don't want to tell me, that's okay." Ga Eul said, he stroked Xavier's head gently.
"If Hwan dares to hurt her, I'm forced to intervene." Inner Ga Eul.
"Hiks. a. I. I'll tell you. But promise me, you don't get mad." Xavier said with a trembling voice.
"All right, just tell me." Ga Eul said impatiently.
Xavier tells from beginning to end about what happened and why he did not dare to go home late. Ga Eul who listened to Xavier's story could only hold back his anger.
"Damn, he... insolent! I'm sure he's been watching you all along. And I'm sure someone's watching you right now." Said Ga Eul.
"B...really?! A. anu, we better not talk again then. A.. I'll go now!" Xavier.
When Xavier was about to leave, Ga Eul held Xavier down. "Come with me. I promise if you're with me, I won't hurt you. Even though I'm a girl, I promise to be a good girl for you."
