What's wrong with him?

"Jung Ji Hoon!!" I shrieked out

Mom is looking at me then at Ji Hoon back and forth, she must be wondering who is he.

He seems addled, and as surprised as we are.

Me and mum's jaw agaped as this sturdy figure came towards us. And I am sure she is also amazed by his beauty.

The more he came closer towards us the more both of us became mesmerized.

He has still not recovered totally from his yesterday's mysterious wound.

He is limping a little as he makes his way towards us, and his lips and hands are still bruised. His forehead has a bandage over it, from where blood was dripping yesterday. This look of his is worrisome.

"umm hello" he said shyly with his hand on the backside of his head.

"hello lad, may I know who are you" mum asked politely.

The edge of my hand is on my face trying to hide my face not because of my ugly features but because of this situation, it's awkward and I don't know what's gonna happen next.

"I am .. "

Wait a minute, why isn't he saying anything next, why is he quiet?

Damn now I realised that he doesn't know my name, my name never came in between our trickling conversation. This couldn't have been more worse.

Now i completely hid my face with my hands due to embarrassment.

"I am her classmate, yeah her classmate" he shook his head as he said this, as if he figured out the solution of a difficult maths question.

Mum looked at me in disbelief

"Yes mum he is Jung Ji Hoon, a new student in my class" I answered hastily

"Auntie this basket is for you" he said as he kept that basket full of delicious fruits on the sideboard.

"Thank you so much kiddo"

"Come have a seat" mum offered.

And my face became dull, i want him to leave quickly , if he'll stay longer my mum would ask him lot of questions and what if she'll get to know that I know nothing about this boy and even he doesn't know anything about me not even my name.

He sat on a chair right next to me, and smiled sheepishly.

I can feel Ji hoon because even I am embarrassed but the thing is why the hell he came here? He came with fruits so it must not be by mistake but how did he know that I am here and my mum is ill.

"Are you two friends?"

"No.."

"Yes.."

we both answered at the same time then I looked at him with raised eyebrows indicating sarcastically "I never knew we were friends".

Mum looked at both of us, she is nonplussed.

I am sorely drenched in my sweat, I don't know why am I panicking so much.

then i replied , trying to fake laugh "haha actually mom he is a new kid so we haven't talked much haha, I am glad he consider me as his friend haha" mum and Ji Hoon both gave me a look as if I am a weirdo, it's probably because of my laugh which is strange.

I took out my hand for a handshake with him "Hello friend what's up buddy haha" he hesitantly shook my hand, he probably doesn't know how to react.

"Auntie I am delighted that you are okay, take good care of yourself and eat healthy, I am sorry but I guess I'll have to take my leave now. Take complete rest"

My mum gave him a warm smile "Thank you so much Ji Hoon for coming today, you don't know how pleased I am to meet one of her friend" she motioned towards me as she said her friend.

He smiled and stood up to leave but then mum stopped him abruptly "Ji Hoon may I know what happened to your handsome face, why are there so many wounds" she asked worriedly.

I turned my head to look towards him because i also want to know it's answer.

He hesitated to respond to this question and as expected he avoided it so smoothly by saying "It's nothing it's nothing , just a minor wound" and waved his both hands together to show that it's nothing.

"ok child , take good care of yours you know that this body is precious right, get home safely"

He nodded

As he reached the door to leave the cabin , i said hurriedly "Ji Hoon I'll see you off, let me accompany you"

"No , no need" he refused without any forethought

"No, let me" I urged

"I said no! no means no, there is no need" he yelled

and I stepped back and stared at him, his tone suddenly changed which gave me a shock.

What's wrong with him? His mood swings and temper issues are worse than mine during periods.

As he left , mum asked me , her eyes widened "what happened to him all of a sudden"

"I am not sure mum, he has a bad temper i guess"

mum nodded with her lips pursed together.

"Ha Na you never told me you had a friend"

"I told you, i never knew he considered me his friend" well he really doesn't think of me as his friend, he just said it rashly in front of my mom.

"I am going now to look for part time jobs and I'll come in evening for your discharge, bye bye"

I left precipitately , to avoid questions about Ji Hoon from mom because even I don't know anything about him, how can I answer her.

...

As I reached the exit of the hospital I noticed Ji Hoon is still here, I wonder why?

Then all of a sudden

"What the heck!?"

Ji hoon went inside the police car.
