Her mother shakes her head. “No, even if I made sure that you have everything that you needed. I… didn’t give the care and time that you needed. You always suffered alone. And it’s always too late for me to notice.”. She starts sobbing. “If I was a better mother, you would have told me your problems. Since, you were little…. i… I made you suffer.”. She continued to sob while saying. “That’s not true.”, Sora said while hugging her mother. Both of them cried while hugging each other. For a few days, she stayed with her mother and Jackson comes to check up on her. Sora sees that Jackson has several band aids, in his finger. Sora asked, “What happened? Why are there so many band aids in your finger?”. Jackson awkwardly says, “Oh this is.. paper cuts.”. Sora doesn’t seem to believe it. “Professor asked me to help him arrange the assignments.”, Jackson says. “How much did you help to get this much cut from paper? Why aren’t you careful?”, she starts worrying about him. “Don’t worry about me. I am not a little kid anymore.”, he says and looks at the time, “Ah.. it’s already 6:30. I have to go. I will come later.”, he says while leaving in a hurry.
After classes are finished, Jackson leaves the classroom. The hallway is crowed as the classes just finished and, everybody is, leaving the classroom. There, Chaeyoen sees Jackson so she walks in a hurry to reach him, but she falls down after bumping on someone. That person commented, “Why are you in such a hurry?”. That person looks at and says, “You should really walk carefully with that weight. My body hurts after bumping onto you. You will kill someone if you fall upon.”. He jokes and the friend besides her laughs and they left after saying hurtful things. Chaeyoen just bows her head while everybody is walking, and nobody is helping her. “This is the worst.”, she says to herself. Suddenly somebody gives a hand to her, “Are you okay, Chaeyeon?”, someone says. She thought, “Is someone who knows me is helping me, but I don’t have any friends.”. She slowly rises her head and see Jackson was the one giving a hand to her. She gets up with the help of Jackson. They moved the backyard and sat on the bench. “Are you really okay?”, Jackson says looking worried. “Yeah I am fine.” She says awkwardly and continues saying, “It was my fault for walking in a hurry with this body of mine.”. Jackson looks at her and says, “Don’t belittled yourself Chaeyoen.”. After hearing him call his name, she gets flustered. “Are you sure you are okay? Your face is red? Do you have a fever?”, he asks looking worried.”. She covered her mouth and says, “Yeah. I am fine. But how did you know my name? I haven’t told you yet.”, she says. “Ahh… I heard your name while they were bullying you.”, he says looking at her.
