If I Can

Part 20

"M-mom...."

She cried, looking down at the floor with her hands and knees on the cold tiles, wondering if anything would change if she just told her mom how she felt but she couldn't.

"Your such an idiot!" Her mom yelled. The school had called her mom, telling her that Harin had beat up 2 female students and was suspended.

"Did your dad raise you like that?! I knew I should've took you in sooner!" Her mom yelled again. Hamin looked at the two in shock, as he watched his mom stick her slipper to Harins face.

"Mom stop!" Hamin said.

Harin looked at him, she looked pitiful to him. He looked at his mom in disbelief.

"You don't have to hurt her! A good yelling would do!"

His mom looked at Hamin with a smile and looked back at Harin, pointing to the door.

"Leave. All you do is give me problems!"

Harin stuffed her hands in her pockets, walking on the sidewalk. She wiped her tears and took deep breaths every now and then.

Someone put up her hood, which covered her face. Harin turned around with an annoyed face.

"Swollen eyes?" He questioned, looking at her and she faced away from him.

Coldly she said "You told me to mind my own business. So mind your own." Harin assumed he got the message and took a step but he was quick to pull her back.

She turned around with a smirk. "What a Hypocrite..." Harin crossed her arms. He stared at her in disbelief. She continued "What do you care about my problems?! You always care about no one else but yourself."

Kiwon rolled his eyes. "Puppy give it up already."

"No! I refuse to give it up! Yes I may be obnoxious but I mean well! Everyone is so secretive and don't tell anyone when something's wrong! All I'm doing is being that stupid stepping stool for you to start using your voice!" She screamed at him and he sneered at her.

"I never asked for a stepping stool." He walked away, stuffing his hands in his back pockets. Then she yelled again, making him stop.

"Why can't you just tell me why your so upset over your parents?! What is it?! Are they dead?! Did they abandon you?! Or are you just living like me? A total outcasted idiot to the family?"

He froze in place and silence overtook them. He said quietly but loud enough for her to hear "Their dead."

Harin widened her eyes. "W-what?"

"I said they're dead and I don't need your pity. Go home." He said and kept walking to his house. She yelled again but he just kept walking.

"Kiwon I'm sorry! I didn't know! I wasn't thinking straight! Hey! Kiwon!"

Kiwon kept walking, yelling back at her "Go home!"

Harin followed him to his door and kept slamming it to make him open the front door. She kept on yelling and yelling, she didn't know why but the thought of him hating her because of this whole situation seemed like a nightmare.

"Kiwon!"

"Han Kiwon! Please let me explain!"

"You have to hear my explanation!"

"I don't pity you!"

"Kiwon!"

"Kiwon open the door!"
