Saerin began to stop crying, he then released his embrace from Huenangkung and stared at the namja. Huenangkai's hand moved and removed traces of tears from Saerin's cheek. Then rubbed the top of his head and kissed Saerin's forehead.
"Don't cry anymore, I'm sure we can both get through this. Don't be afraid, because I'm here to protect you. And. nothing will happen to you while I'm still by your side" said Huenangkai, who smiled at Saerin.
"Hemm. gomawo Kai, I am grateful to have you. I'm sure you're reliable" said Saerin, who began to smile.
"Nee, I promise" They both smiled.
"Yes, it's night. You better clean yourself first, then I'll make food for us" Huenangkung said.
"Nee"
Saerin nodded slowly and tried to get out of bed and went to the bathroom. Huenangkung also started to get out of the bed and out of the room and went to the kitchen.
20 Minutes later...
Saerin got down from his room and went straight to the kitchen. There Huenangkung just finished arranging the food plates on the dining table. Saerin approached him and pulled out a chair for him to sit on. They both ate their food in a relaxed manner.
Tonight it was still raining heavily, even the rumbling sounds and lightning bolts were present, not wanting to let it rain alone.
After eating and picking up the dirty dishes, Saerin and Huenangkama entered their rooms. Saerin just came out of the bathroom after he finished brushing his teeth, he went up on the mattress and covered his body and slowly closed his eyes. But suddenly, he was startled by the thunderous roar that was so clear that it pierced his ears. Saerin was terrified and hid behind a blanket. His body began to tremble, his face grew even more pale. The sound really made Saerin's heart pound. The rain still sounds harsh.
Over time the rumbling sounds began to be heard no more and the rain gradually subsided. Saerin took off his blanket and got up and sat on the bed. He began to calm himself down by sighing and exhaling slowly. He began to calm down, but Saerin could not go back to sleep. He turned to the window and got out of bed and approached her. Saerin opened the curtain and stared at the raindrops seen out there.
Suddenly it rained down again with a heavy sound that was very noisy, and shortly afterwards a flash of light was seen in the window followed by a roar and..
teepat
All the lights off, Saerin was very surprised even more so the lights in his room died instantly. Saerin screamed loudly and fell on the floor and curled his body. He was really scared. He shouted and called Huenangkung's name. Then soon the door opened and someone came in running to Saerin's place.
Because Huenangkung and Saerin's room was next to each other, so he could hear Saerin's scream. Huenangkai came and immediately hugged Saerin whose body was shaking. Because Saerin was very, very afraid, when there was a hand that touched him Saerin immediately brushed off the hand violently while shouting hysterically. He didn't realize it was Huenangka's hand trying to grab him.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!! DON'T COME NEAR ME!!" saerin yelled, even distancing the hand that was trying to touch him.
"Saerinu... Saerin, relax, it's me.. Huenangkung.." said Huenangkai who tried to calm Saerin.
But his voice was not clearly heard by Saerin because it was disguised by the sound of heavy rain and the roar of lightning that struck. Saerin was really scared, he was still screaming hysterically. He also did not allow Huenangkung to embrace him because he did not know if it was Huenangkung. The lights that went out in his room made Saerin unable to see anything even Huenangkai face though, Saerin closed his eyes rough and covered his ears with both palms.
"GO!! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!!"
Saerin yelled and started crying, which left Huenangkai confused. He didn't know how to keep Saerin calm. Huenangkai took his cell phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate his vision. He shook Saerin's body again and grabbed the girl's hand.
"Saerinu... Saerin, open your eyes. It's me Huenangkung, open your eyes Saerin. Look at me" Huenangkai said as he shook Saerin's body and illuminated the spot.
Saerin started to open his eyes, he looked up and saw Huenangkung. Soon Saerin hugged Huenangkung tightly while still crying in fear. Huenangkai returned Saerin's embrace and rubbed his back trying to calm the girl's heart. He took her to his feet without taking off his arms and led Saerin to the bed. Huenangkai stroked Saerin's back while holding his phone to light up their bodies.
"Kai. hyks... I'm really scared.. hiks.." Saerin cried in Huenangkung's arms.
"Nothing Saerin, I'm already here. Don't be afraid anymore, ne? You better get some sleep, so you don't get scared anymore"
"But I'm still scared... Can you accompany me? Come sleep with me, I'm afraid to sleep alone" whined Saerin.
"Huft.well, I'll sleep here with you. I'll keep you company until you fall asleep, okay?"
"Hemm" Saerin said as he nodded.
"All right, I'll light a candle. Hold my phone to light you up, and I'll find the candle first. After that I will join you" said Huenangkai who released Saerin's embrace and gave his phone to Saerin.
Huenangkung stood up and walked towards the desk drawer, he picked up a candle and lit it near the bed. Saerin began to lay down his body, followed by Huenangkai who went up to the mattress with Saerin.
"Have it, now let's sleep" Huenangkai said as he pulled his blanket and enveloped the bodies of the two of them.
"May I hug you again?" saerin asked before he would close his eyes.
"Sure, but wait a minute" Huenangkung took out a bolster pillow and placed it in the middle of Saerin and himself.
"Here you can hold me"
"But this bolster will get in my way. I cannot embrace you completely" Saerin said innocently.
"It's okay, this is so we're on guard. However, we are not siblings and we are not blood. So I'm just doing this to take care of you"
"But how can I hold you if this bolster is in front of me?"
"Have it, even though this bolster blocks our distance but we can still be tied. Just hug me and close your eyes, just let it roll. And quickly go to sleep" said Huenangkai who first grabbed Saerin and closed his eyes.
"Huft. yasudah" said Saerin resignedly let the bolster prevent him to cuddle with Huenangka. He began to attach his hands to Huenangkung's waist and closed his eyes.
Skips
Morning..
Huenangkai's car had arrived in front of the gate of the Saerin school. Without further ado Saerin opened the car door and got off without saying anything to Huenangkai.
"Saerin wait a minute" said Huenangkai, who got out of his car. He then approached Saerin who looked sad.
"What's Kai?" saerin asked who was staring at Huenangkung.
"I'm fine Kai" replied Saerin.
"Are you sick? Then you don't go to school if you don't feel well"
"I'm fine Kai" Saerin replied with the same word.
"Don't make me worry Saerin" said Huenangkai who began to frown.
"It's Kai, I want to go to class. Soon the bell will ring. And you have to go to your college too, right? No, don't worry about me. I'll be fine" Saerin said with a small smile at Huenangkung for the namja to believe him.
"But you're right it's okay isn't it?" huenangkung asked with a bit of hesitation.
"Cats, gwenchana. Ohya, you won't have to pick me up nee"
"Why?"
"Emmm... I have an appointment with my friend, he wants me to accompany him home on the bus"
"Oh arrasseo, let me go first. Take good care of yourself"
Saerin only smiled faintly and nodded softly at Huenangkung. Then Huenangkasi re-entered his car and immediately drove away. Saerin also began to step in after Huenangkai's car moved away.
Skip in class...
From the entrance bell, Saerin could not concentrate on his lessons. He continued to daydream until Jiyeon who was next to him was also confused. Jiyeon tried not to talk to Saerin first, because she knew that her class was in the middle of learning. He also did not want to be scolded by the teacher because it was proven to chat in class. But Jiyeon always glanced at Saerin once in a while just to make sure that his friend was okay.
Although Jiyeon had asked Saerin many times about her situation, Saerin still replied that she was okay. It made Jiyeon suspicious of Saerin's increasingly cold and reserved attitude. He also often daydreams and his face also implies sadness buried in his mind. Jiyeon could only sigh in disappointment at Saerin's current state. He did not know if Saerin was expelled and hated by his oppa because Saerin never said it all to Jiyeon. Saerin chose to keep her alone, only Huenangkama could understand her sadness now. And he also did not want his friend to know if he had a very severe problem in his life.
Skips
The doorbell rang, Saerin read through his books and immediately walked out of the classroom ignoring Jiyeon who was behind him. Jiyeon started running until she could align her steps with Saerin. Jiyeon looked at her friend who was looking down while walking.
"Saerinu... You why? Since this morning you've always been like this. You don't seem like the Saerin I used to know. You're changing. Why withyou? Let's just tell me Saerin. I am so anxious to see you continue like this" Jiyeon said in a sad tone.
Saerin stopped his steps, then Jiyeon was just as stopped. Saerin looked up and turned to Jiyeon. The smile began to expand forcefully on Saerin's cheek. The girl smiled fakely at her friend so she could believe that she was okay.
"I'm fine Jiyeon. I've told you many times, if I'm okay. Yes, now we have to go home. I'm tired too, so let's go home together in front of the gate" Saerin said still smiling at Jiyeon.
"But you don't look okay Saerin. I feel like there's something strange in you. You look more like someone who is sad. I feel something uncomfortable about you Saerin. Please tell me why? Come on. Don't make me worry more about Saerin. Please tell me the truth. That smile of yours looks insincere, you forced that smile right? Why are you doing this Saerin...?" said Jiyeon whose eyes began to glaze over because she felt uncomfortable with her current friend.
Saerin begins to confront himself to Jiyeon. Then hold Jiyeon's shoulder and look at her friend deeply.
"Jiyeon's... I'm sorry if I made you annoyed and uncomfortable. But trust me, I'm fine. Nothing happened to me, I was me. I'm still the same and haven't changed at all. It's just that I'm not feeling well, maybe that's why I keep moody like that"
Saerin began to smile with a sincere look at Jiyeon who was wanting to cry because she was uncomfortable with Saerin's situation.
"Oh, don't be sad. I'm really fine. I'm a hundred percent fine. So please don't worry about me. Now we go home" Saerin said, embracing Jiyeon and walking together until she left school.
Arriving in front of the gate, Saerin waved his hand at the jiyeon who walked away from the front of the school. After Jiyeon had really gone far, Saerin went on foot in the opposite direction to the direction of the road to Huenangkung house while continuing to bow his head on each trip.
Junho who just came out of the gate turned to look at Saerin who was wrong to take the road home. He seemed to suspect Saerin's movements were very strange. Slowly, Junho followed Saerin from behind to find out what happened to Saerin.
*
Saerin to the Han River. He stopped there and looked at the clear river water. Saerin began to sit on the grass and took off his bag. He sighed to calm himself, while breathing fresh air from the beautiful riverbank.
"Why is Saerin sitting there? He should have gone home. But why was it on the Han River?" june said in a soft voice. He hid behind the trees while peering towards Saerin.
"If I've noticed, lately he's always been looking moody. He was always silent. I could see the sadness in his eyes. He must be having a problem. Should I just go up to him and ask? Aishh... But he seems to want to be alone first. Yasudah, I'll just wait for him. I'll keep an eye on him, I'm afraid he'll be exposed to danger later" Junho said.
Junho was trying to keep an eye on Saerin even though from such a distance. He hoped that his friend would be okay and stay fine.
***
Time passes so fast. Saerin was still around the Han River until nightfall. Junho was also still hiding near the trees to pay attention to Saerin. It looks like a detective.
The situation in the Han River was quiet, there was only Saerin sitting on the side of the river. His eyes began to glaze over, damming every circle in the name of a tear that would be ready to fall out of place.
Saerin began to cry, his tears flowing from both sides, soaking his originally dry cheeks to get wet. Saerin could not stop crying, the tears that he had been holding since this morning, now began to come down without a stop sign. He sobbed bitterly, bowing his head without intending to wipe away the trail of tears that kept rushing down his cheeks.
Saerin looked up and looked forward at the Han river he had seen, and then began to say.
"Hiks... Why do you hate me? Wae?!"
"Hiks... WHY DO YOU HATE ME?! A WAE?! A WAE?! hiccups..."
Saerin yelled at the river. He cried out in an attempt to throw out all his pent-up sadness and resentment. His tears continued to flow like the river in front of him now. Screaming loudly to reduce the sadness.

"Saerin.." muttered Junho softly.
