The Fool's

Don't Let Anyone Hurt You

Ara did not understand why she was the center of attention when entering the classroom, the classmate who was previously familiar with her was suddenly acting strangely, he checked his clothes just for fear that something was wrong but that it looked normal to him. He is inconspicuous with his oversize light blue shirt and blue jeans, even too ordinary to be the center of attention. Ara tried not to care by listening to the earphones while waiting for the lecturer to enter but the view of the person there clearly did not make her deaf, her feelings were not good. He tried to focus on the thick book in front of him reading every article there that he did not understand even one of the sheets pretending to be busy because he felt awkward but every movement he did seemed to be being at the value of all eyes.

He looked left and right, hoping they would stop their activities towards him but all he found was more and more obvious gazes and rants. They were even shameless - shyly staring intently at him. Especially from the girls, one or two sentences can be captured by Ara vaguely related to the playboy while the men are betting on whether he has been brought to bed. Ara had been able to guess from the beginning, who else did have the popularity that was able to affect many people there besides the man.

In bed, Ara could not deny it even though what others thought was not the same as the reality that happened. Should Ara explain one by one their speculations or even he stood at the lecturer's desk and made a Q&A ?. Sia - in vain is not it, because it will only clarify how weak Ara is. He is not not not hurt, his heart beats very fast, his mouth also shakes withstanding the cry he wants to explain whatever circumstances make it the material of ridicule but he knows how small his influence is.

His feet were almost standing and wanted to get out of there, oh my God he had not even been a student for a month and his day was suddenly bad, especially he has no one here and again why the story of yesterday spread so quickly. He tapped his feet on the floor thinking what to do but his brain was not functioning properly even he no longer dared to look at them with a gaze that was as sharp as his guts shriveled unlike when he was being asked to dance on that stage is two different things.

The lecturer came at the exact moment when Ara almost decided to skip, even though she was aware of how important this course was. They no longer looked at him and began to pay attention to the lecturer even though there were still innuendos from one or two people.

Even when the lecturer finished, he decided to stay in the classroom making sure everyone was not there and being the last to go home some looked at him like waiting for the girl to react but he did not flinch. He glanced at the clock on his phone, at 5 pm and how long he had to keep listening to earphones that did not even have his voice.

The screen of the smartphone was on displaying a message from Jae Hwan when Ara opened it. He was silent, the man was waiting for him in the parking lot but his hands could not stop shaking and sweating, his phone even fell out of his grasp and caused a sound that echoed in the empty room.

There were still a few people outside the room, Ara could hear them talking and laughing mockingly at her. Until the sound of the footsteps of the shoes approached, he could hear his jolt clearly even as no other sound could match, he squeezed his fingers increasingly soaked by sweat. The girl wanted to turn her head when the sound of the jolt stopped right behind her but the tears started to leave traces on her cheeks, she grew more and more afraid of what they would do to her. Oh come on, Ara is an independent girl but who can be the gossip of one campus.

"Irreona (wake up)!"

The voice that Ara knew, in her heart she was happy but at the same time afraid of what this part of the man's plan

"You didn't return my message and it's like a rat stuck here?"

"Don't let anyone hurt you, or I'll go crazy."

Continue the man. Kim Jae - Hwan. Her warm gaze made Ara's body go limp, for some reason she felt like she had someone this time.

...****************...

Jae Hwan pulls Ara by force, almost dragging him because the girl's steps are like restrained but he turns his head when he realizes the girl still looks scared. He stopped his steps looking at the girl who kept looking down.

"Uljima (don't cry)!"

Jae Hwan said when he realized there were traces of tears there, his heart warmed up to look at the girl who only looked strong on the outside but one small scratch made her look like this.

The man realized most of it was his fault, though he did not know who was spreading rumors about him and Ara.

Ara further held back her steps as she approached the exit, she slightly hid behind Jae Hwan's tall body but the man pulled Ara aside, embracing the limp shoulder. Like saying that all is well - fine.

"You know who freaked my girlfriend out like this?"

They are like surprised to hear Jae Hwan's confession, the man never admitted any woman as his girlfriend but this time what they heard was different.

"You're deaf?"

Jae Hwan slightly advanced towards the crowd but Ara held onto his clothes like a child hiding in fear of making Jae Hwan turn around and undo his intentions.

"gatoshi!"

The girl's words were softened with lips that did not stop shaking, and again - again made Jae Hwan's feelings warm up.

"I'll make sure whoever treats him badly receives the consequences!"

The man said it resolutely, sounding almost along the hallway which was silent even though many people were there.

Jae Hwan is not the type of man to be afraid of because of a large body or good at fighting, but who dares to fight against one of the richest families in the country. Some of their parents and family may also be employees at Jae Hwan's family company given how large a branch network they have.

He re-embraced the girl, taking her away at a not-so-fast pace. This time Jae Hwan tries to make sense of the girl's state by letting his steps slow down following.

He sat her in a garden chair, a wooden chair under a cherry tree whose flowers were falling. It is almost quiet there because the day is getting late only a few people who pass by without caring about them.

"If only yesterday you hadn't taken me away. Wish, seand-".

Jae Hwan had already silenced Ara with his kiss even before the girl finished speaking, Ara's lips still shook until Jae Hwan went a little deeper ******* those soft lips were what strangely made his tremors stop. Ara felt comfortable until her tears came out unexpectedly.

Jae Hwan does not let go of his kiss until the girl closes her eyes, he knows Ara is following his rhythm and for Ara he somehow feels warm.

Under normal conditions, Ara would curse because of the inappropriate actions but he was silent, he let himself get swept away in the playboy game.

"I'm sorry."

Jae Hwan rubbed the girl's lips with his thumb then pulled her into a hug, all of those actions were not full of lust as he did to the other girls his body was moving on its own with the instinct of protecting this girl.

"You don't have to act strong, I'll be by your side."

"If only you'd let it!"

Ara was silent looking at the man, seeing the earnestness there even though she realized it would be very stupid if she nodded letting the man play tricks on her like any other woman but she still nodded. Making Jae Hwan widen his smile and re-hugging Ara.
