Chapter 101 - Being a hero (2/2)

"Thank you," Jinhee answered monotonously.

"A bit louder. I can't hear you," Taehee said, leaning her head closer to Jinhee's face.

Jinhee stopped in her steps and let out a frustrating sigh. Turning, she faced Taehee with a slightly irritated looked in her eyes.

"I SAID THANK YOU," Jinhee voiced out in a loud tone.

She, then, added, "But who told you to be an idiot and hold the knife for someone who hates you? Is the top student's IQ deteriorating!? Or do you actually take yourself to be some superhuman!?"

Wincing, Taehee exclaimed, "Ouch! My hand hurts again. Is this the behaviour one should show to their saviour?"

"The ten days aren't over, so shut close your mouth," Jinhee voiced out before continuing to walk.

Using her left hand, Taehee showed that she zipped her mouth close. Then, she took out the phone with her uninjured left hand and began typing something away.

At that moment, Jinhee felt her phone vibrate, and the sound, which indicated a notification had arrived, was heard by her. Stopping in her steps, Jinhee opened her phone and read the message.

"You're being friendly with me. Does that mean I'm forgiven?" Jinhee silently read the contents.

Looking at the top of the screen, Jinhee noticed that the text was from Taehee, who stood beside her, and a smile, as if she was expecting something good, was on her face.

"I-I think, uhm..." Jinhee stopped midway, not knowing how to reply to Taehee. Taehee saved her at this moment, and being rude her was something Jinhee couldn't do at this moment.

"It's okay. You don't need to be pressured; I'm leaving. Just be careful next time around," Taehee voiced out, wearing a bright smile on her face.

Waving a bye towards Jinhee, Taehee turned and walked away in a carefree manner. That hurt, which flashed in Taehee's eyes, was not missed by Jinhee, and this squeeze her heart tightly and painfully.

Wasn't this what she wanted all along? Didn't she want Taehee to be far away from her and not disturb her anymore? Now that this was the case, why did it hurt so badly?

In reality, did she actually want it?

"Take care of that wound and don't get it in water. Avoid being careless!" Jinhee yelled after Taehee, who walked away from her.
