Strangeness
The next morning, when I opened my eyes, there was something different.
That is light. In the forest was still the gray-green light of a gloomy, cloudy day, but somehow the space seemed brighter. I realized that the doorway to my room wasn't covered by any fog.
Jumping out of bed, looking out into the sky, I was horrified, groaning.
A thick layer of snow formed in the yard, covering the top of the truck and whitening the road. But that's not the worst. Yesterday's rainwater that had deposited on the branches of the trees had now solidified – forming strange, unusual patterns, which clung to the treetops. And on the driveway to the house, the rain water froze and hard. God, even if the ground is dry, it must be difficult for me to keep myself from being "captured by frogs". With the current situation, the only way for me to climb back to bed is the safest way.
Dad went to work before I even got down the stairs. If viewed from many angles, it can be said that living with a father is equivalent to living alone. Instead of loneliness, I found myself intoxicated with solitude.
I quickly cleaned up a bowl of cereal and a box of orange juice. Thinking about the joy of going to school suddenly made me feel prickly all over. I also fully understand that that mood is not caused by the learning environment, or by meeting a group of friends to play with. As honest as I can be, I admit that the reason I'm so eager to go to school is because I'll get to meet Kim Taehyung. I'm stupid like that, so stupid.
In fact, after yesterday's embarrassing, silly talk, I should have found a way to avoid him. I doubt this man; Why should he behave differently from what his eyes show? At this moment, I still feel the fear of the aura of hatred emanating from that person, and when I remember Taehyung's perfect face, I still feel shy and confused until now. I do know one thing that my world and his world are two celestial spheres that never meet. So today, I shouldn't be in the mood to wait and wait for Taehyung like that.
Stepping down the hard, icy pavement, I still can't fully concentrate. Out to the truck, suddenly I almost lost my balance... Oh ..., howl, fortunately I was able to cling to the rearview mirror right away. Obviously today is going to be a terrible day.
On the drive to school, in order to fill the echoes of my panic over my recent slip and fall, as well as my unwanted thoughts about Taehyung, I think of Baekhyun and Suho, about the differences in behavior. that the two of them gave me. Compared to the time in Busan, I'm sure nothing has changed. My other boyfriends back home, who had been with me through my rough teenage years, were used to it. Here, I may look strange, but new, strange things like that are rare in this Boseong district. Or maybe my silly clumsiness, instead of making people uncomfortable and treating me like a miserable little girl, turned out to be good in their eyes, and that is what makes me so loved. Whatever the reason, Baekhyun's lovable personality towards me and Suho's obvious competitive attitude both make me hesitate. I'm not sure if I really don't want that kind of attention.
My truck didn't have a problem with the black ice that stuck to the pavement. But it runs very slowly, sloppily crawling out on the street, honestly, I don't want to alarm the whole neighborhood with these rumbling noises.
When I got to school, I jumped out of the car, needing to check why it was acting like that. A flash of light caught my eye, and I walked around to the back of the trunk – cautiously clinging to the ledge – to check the wheels. There is a small chain crossed in a diamond shape around the wheels (to increase friction when the car has to roll on slippery roads). So Dad got up very early to put the chain on my car! My throat suddenly constricted. I am not used to being taken care of by other people. Dad's silent concern really surprised me.
I stood in a hidden corner, trying to suppress the sudden emotion that came, when suddenly I heard a strange sound...
... It was a shrill scream, growing louder and louder, mixed with pain. I looked up, startled, startled...
In that moment, I almost grasped everything at the same time. Nothing slows down the way we see it in the movies. Instead, adrenaline was like a stimulant, forcing my brain to work at full speed... and then everything became so clear...
Kim Taehyung was standing four cars away from me, staring at me, stunned. A lot of emotions appeared on that face, the face was frozen due to too much panic. But the most important thing right now... is a dark blue truck that has just braked, the four wheels being braked are stiff as if trying to get out of the grip, just crazy sliding across the face. Slippery ice of the parking lot. It's about to hit the trunk of my car... at this moment, I'm caught in the middle. I don't even have time to close my eyes...
... Still in time to hear a shrill sound of impact, when the other truck crashed into my car, something hit me hard, not from the side I expected. ... Headaches... My head hit the frozen pavement, I just felt like a solid, cold object had crushed me to the ground. I was lying right behind the fawn-painted car, which was parked next to it just now. Now that nothing can be seen, the other truck is still coming. The impact just now caused it to make a full turn, and just like that, turning, the "monster" charged and charged. It was about to lunge at me again.
... A mumbling curse somewhere made me vaguely understand that someone had come to me, the voice was lost so I couldn't recognize who it was. Then, two long, white arms suddenly reached out to shield me. The truck suddenly jerked up when it was thirty centimeters from my face, those big hands just landed a blow to one of its sides... leaving a deep dent...
And then, as fast as he could, those arms moved again. An arm suddenly went under the truck to investigate. Something touches me, tries to pull my leg out, manipulates me like a rag stuffed doll. Then finally, I felt the tire scraping my foot... Suddenly, a metallic creaking sound pierced my ears, the truck came to a complete stop.. There was the sound of broken glass. clattered onto the pavement – right where my feet had been stuck just a second before.
Very suddenly, all was quiet, silent, ... Then in the space suddenly woke up the sound of screams. In that commotion, I realized there was more than one person calling my name. But the most obvious is Taehyung's hoarse voice, calling to me over and over again:
- Amy... Are you okay, Amy?
-I'm fine -My voice sounded strange. I struggled to get up, realizing Taehyung was holding me against him, it was a suffocating hug.
-Be careful-Taehyung says as he screams as I move to get out of the situation-I think you hit your head pretty hard.
It was then that I became aware of the pain above my left ear.
-Oh my-I was surprised.
-There, I'm not wrong-Taehyung's voice suddenly became strangely quick as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.
- Why... - I hesitated.. trying to clear my mind, and endure the pain with all my might - How could you rush here so quickly?
-Because I was right next to you, Amy - he replied, his voice serious again.
I try to sit up, Taehyung doesn't stop me this time, he lets go of my waist and backs up a bit, but still seems wary of me falling again. I look up at Taehyung's worried, innocent face but unintentionally let the magic of those dark brown eyes distract me. What am I asking him about?
And then everyone found me, the whole crowd came, almost everyone sobbed, burst into tears like rain, they shouted at each other, shouted at me.
-Don't move - someone reminded.
- Get Taeyong out of the car! Another shouted loudly.
Everything happened so fast around us. I try to get up but Taehyung's cold hand presses down on my shoulder.
- Stay here.
"But it's cold," I said imploringly, and was surprised to see him laugh "obnoxiously" through his breath. There was something strange in that laugh, it seemed...
- I was standing over there - Suddenly I remember, Jungkook's laughter died off - I was standing at the Volvo.
Taehyung's face hardened.
- No, it's not.
- We've seen - The whole crowd around. I heard the gruff voice of an elderly man approaching. And I became stubborn; I was right, he would have to admit it.
-Amy, I was right next to you and I pushed you away just in time." Taehyung tried to put all his strength through his eyes that were staring at me, as if trying to convey a message.
-No - I stammered in my mouth.
The gold in Taehyung's eyes suddenly glowed like a fire.
- Please, Amy.
- Why? – I asked.
-Just listen to me - Taehyung begged, his voice softer, more seductive than ever.
-So, do you promise to tell me everything later?
-Okay - Taehyung replied curtly, somewhat spitefully.
-Okay - I replied indignantly.
