Miracle 1994

CHAPTER 3: I will

※Hyeon Ah's POV※

It was already July and the graduation is fast-approaching. I can't help myself but just to stare at the sky and think what will happen to me? I am so positive that I will repeat my 4th year here in Yong Sei and I am so jealous of my friend, Seong Wook, because he will graduate from Nam Woo National very soon.

I was on a soccer field when...

''What are you doing here?'' a familiar voice said.

''I should be the one who would ask you like that. Why are you here?''

''Your classmates told me that you are here. Any problem?'' and he sat beside me.

''Lucky you!''

''Why?''

''You will graduate soon. You will become a lawyer soon.''

''So, what's wrong if I graduate soon? We promised to each other that we would become lawyers soon.''

''I'm lacking confidence.''

I give the list of my grades to him.

''Your grades are good. Except on this subject... Constitution really? It is so easy but why are you blank here,'' he asked shockingly.

''Easy? Yeah, you're right. But my professor makes it more difficult.''

''So don't be so negative. I know that the professor will give you a higher grade.''

''I hope so... I hope that he knows very well who is on the deserving spots for the upcoming graduation.''

My phone rings...

''Hello?''

''Mr. Han already gave the grades!'' my friend said.

''R-really?''

''But there is one who's not on the graduating list.''

''Who? ''

''S… sorry but---''

''I know.'' I smiled a little but deep inside I was about to cry. I don't really know what to do at this time.

''She is a person, hoping that she will graduate... Hoping that this will be the end of her suffering in law school... Hoping that she will be a lawyer a year from now.. Funny, right?''

''Hyeon Ah. Don't give up. Just fight and fight!''

''Yes. Thank you. I think I will not continue my schooling next year,'' and I quickly pressed the end call button.

''No. You should not,'' a serious tone from Seong Wook.

''There is no sense in repeating again,'' I said.

''That's not the Hyeon Ah I knew before?!''

My tears started to fall ''But why? Why do I have to suffer like this? Why do I have to be challenged like this? WHY? Why God gives me so much---''

My friend hugged me. I can feel the warmth and comfort. But I can't stop myself crying.

''Don't blame God. Instead, ask yourself. Why does God give you such tough challenges like those? And think that you can do it. Because God will not give you anything that you can't overcome. Always remember that God gives difficult challenges to his strongest soldiers and you are one of them, Hyeon Ah.''

''I really hate this life, Seong Wook... I really!''

He hugged me so tight.

''Don't. Don't do that. That is the real meaning of life. You must overcome this situation. I'm only here. I will always be here with you.” He said, and that sincere voice is all that I really wanted to hear, but this time I couldn’t really stop my emotions.

I pushed him. ''You don't know what I feel, so stop comforting me.''

''What is the sense of being my best friend of yours if I can't comfort and support you?''

''Just leave me alone.'' I stood and he grabbed my hand.

''No. I will not.''

He stood and I faced him.

''WHAT DO YOU NEED?'' my anger is more dominant now so I yelled at my friend but...

I knew that he knew I didn’t mean it.

''I will wait for you, Atty. Seo Hyeon Ah. I will wait for you, so we can review together for the exam. I will wait for you, so we will become lawyers together. I am here. I will guide and help you for another year of schooling. I am always here.''

…and I realized that our faces were too close enough to be able to kiss when...

…he suddenly kissed me...

I felt the softness and warmth of his kiss, and the way he stared into my eyes…

He is so sincere and he also likes suffering from what happened to me...

I was supposed to push him but he grabbed my waist tightly and I closed my eyes slowly… Feeling a warm and sincere kiss from him.

I like him, but not to the point...

that he will be the one who will kiss me first like this...

''Is PDA allowed here?'' the familiar voice said.

'' Public Display Affection! PDA! Did you know that you're still inside the school property and you must follow the school rules? Your actions are strictly prohibited inside the school premises!'' that voice said again.

We snobbed that person and we continued with it...

Because maybe this was my first kiss...

...until...

The man grabbed my hand and he pushed my best friend away...

''Hey, what are you doing here?'' I realized that I had looked into him very directly.

''You're not following the rules inside the school premises.'' He tightly grabbed my hand again but I removed it quickly.

''We're enjoying it'', Seong Wook said.

''You're enjoying it but you're inside the---''

''Constitution Law Professor Han Ki Joon!'' I shouted at him accidentally.

''Co… constitution? So he's the professor you were talking about?''

''Please stop disturbing us?'' I suddenly said to utter Seong Wook.

My friend quickly grabbed his clothes' collar with his two aggressive hands...

''Do you know why she is crying and suffering a lot now?''

He punches him and Professor Han does not do anything else in return, but instead he falls and sits on the field grass....

''What are you doing? When Yong Sei reported this to Nam Woo National, would you be expelled?'' I said.

'' I don't care.''

Professor Han only smiled and laughed so loudly. He stood and removed the dust out of his pants.

''Wow. Thank you for giving me that idea, Miss Seo.'' He spit and I saw that there was blood on his lips.

''I think.... you must pack yourself as soon as possible from your dorm. ''

''Wait, what will you do?'' I disrupted their talk while I was in shock and nervous about what he was planning to do to my friend.

''Don't expect to be on the list of graduating students at Nam Woo National University at the end of this school year.'' He said and smirked a little.

''Looks like you don't know who you're hitting right now.''

I looked at my friend... there were no worries on his face, but instead he looked with anger at my professor.

''Really? Then I must study here. That's my fate to be with her.'' The unexpected answer from my best friend.

Seong... Seong Wook... why?

※Seong Wook's POV※

The Nam Woo National University College of Law Dean called me and said that I would be expelled...

As expected...

I never thought of being expelled because of punching a professor who really deserves a punch.

''A… are you okay?'' Hyeon ah asked me on the phone.

''Yes!''

''Don't worry. I will go to your school to consider---''

''No thanks. I think it's better to be with you''

''S… so… sorry!'' she cried.

''Ssshh. No. It was not your fault. I punched him. I should blame myself. Don't blame yourself. Don't.''

''But you don't deserve this.'' She continued crying.

''I deserve that. I deserve to be with you. It is better if I'm with you. By the way, we will enroll together at Yong Sei... Can we?'' and tried to laugh so it could lessen her burden.

''W… we?''

''Yes, can we?''

''But.. you must be---''

''Okay, so it's a yes. I am very sleepy right now. You know, I’m a sleepy-headed guy, so bye. Don’t think about what happened but instead have a good night. Sleep right now, Goodbye and have sweet dreams. Okay?'' and I immediately ended the call.

Before I sleep, I am still worrying about Hyeon Ah. She might not sleep because of what happened. That's why I texted her...

**

Remember what I told you at that time?

Hyeon Ah: Like what? Omo, I can't sleep, really (sad emoticon)

Don't mind it. But I will say something better for you to have a better night...

Hyeon Ah: Sleep. Don't make any effort. You really don't deserve that.

**

I smiled a bit and I typed the every detail of what I had told her...

**

I will not wait for you since we will repeat our 4th year again in Law School and at the same time at the same university. But, starting this day, I will protect you. I will cover you up on what will happen. I will guide you.I will help you and...

Hyeon ah: and?

I will love you. No man can hurt you. I will kill them all by myself. So, sleep now my future wife.

**

I did not expect any replies from Hyeon Ah but I know that she will sleep free from overthinking.

After that, I hugged my soft pillow. I suddenly cried...

''This is only the time that my family will be complete... On the graduation day... my most awaited day,'' my tears fell down.

They promised me that we would be a complete family after graduating from law school, but I think there is still time.

Maybe, next year, I will graduate with my best friend and at the same time I will enjoy the moment with my family.

I stood on my bed and I looked at the sky.

''Please, star. Grant my wishes,'' I said.
