Anna entered her school yard with great hesitation. A few pairs of eyes continued to look at him while whispering. Obviously, that made Anna even more awkward.
Anna stood in front of her school building. He was worried that he would keep walking or running home. He lowered his head. The shadow of his mother lying in the hospital flashed through his mind. Is her mother going to be okay?
" He's back? I thought he was out of school "
" I heard his mother was drunk and hit by a car "
" Drunk?? "
" Didn't you know? His mother worked at a bar. Drunkenness is not strange, is it? "
" Mother's a drunk. Dad's robber. I think he's also secretly doing something bad "
" Did he have the courage to do such a thing ?"
" Nobody knows, right?"
On the sidelines of his concern, there was a discordant voice that shook him. Anna's ears could hear her clearly. Tears began to form in his eyes. He tried hard so that the grains did not fall.
" Fruits won't be far from the tree, will they? Don't be fooled by his appearance. It seems she is a good girl.Even her brother who looks good turns out to be just a household destroyer "
The voice of a man made Anna stunned. Then he lifted his head. And look at Justin Wilderman who saw it with a cynical look. Beside him was Ashley, who was writhing spoiled on the man's shoulders. The two of them as well as the other students looked at him with scornful, condescending gazes.
Anna bit her lip. Is he so low in front of them? Anna's body was trembling. His worries seemed to meet a point. Yeah, it's like he can't afford to be among "noble" students like them.
Anna turned her body. He decided to go home. One leg had already stepped forward, when suddenly there was a man with a hoodie jacket and sunglasses who grabbed his hand, clasping his hand tightly until his body turned around following the man's footsteps. The man boldly brought her back, entering the school building, accompanied by the astonished gazes of the other students in the place. And when they were in front of Justin and Ashley, the man stopped. With his other hand he fluttered the hoddie that covered his head. Then take off his sunglasses.
" Maxxx?? "
" Hey, Just. I'll take Anna to her class. He has been absent for too long. I'm afraid he's forgotten the direction to his class "said politely. He then pulled Anna away from before them, regardless of Justin's astonished gaze.
" Well, here's your seat "
Max even escorted Anna up to his bench. With her gaze she beckoned Anna to sit in her classroom seat. Anna is sitting. He still looked at Max as if he did not believe the person in front of him.
" If you look at me like that all the time, I can think you like me" Max said flatly. Anna laughed a little.
" You "
" Couldn't you? You're starting to like me. That's why I don't like to dress well. This kind of appearance made my good looks clear. I don't like being judged by girls. They are like ants "
" But I do like you "Anna teased him. Max clucked in annoyance. He was sure that Anna was currently making fun of him.
" You look handsome. I didn't even recognize you earlier "
" Ah, stop. If I stay here, today you will declare your love for me. I'd better go back to class "Max pretended to be upset. He turned around and left Anna.
" Wait "
Anna held Max's hand. Max stopped, and turned to face Anna. Anna stood up from her chair. Then he bent his body.
" Cut, Max "
" I don't remember ever teaching you Korean "
" Did you forget, I've been in the hospital for almost a month. Television in the cafeteria always plays Korean drama "Anna replies. Max smile. He left Anna.
