Chapter 14 Memories of the past (3)

Gu Jun Pyo blink several times to make sure he wasn't imagining or hallucinating. he turned to look in the direction from where she had disappeared. He thought of how he was going to find her the next day. He left the school premises that day with a wide grin plastered on his face as he thought of finding that Angel.

When he got home, he couldn't sleep as the face of the Angel kept popping into his mind. He has never seen anyone as pure as her. He's had other girls but none was as beautiful as her, none could be compared to her. He wanted to see her again. he couldn't wait for the break of dawn so he could go see her again.

Gu Jun Pyo didn't know when he finally slept off but when he woke up he was late as usual. He hurriedly prepared for school and left quickly. His parents were surprised to see him rushing to school. it has never happened before, for Jun Pyo to be in haste just to go to school. He has never seen school as an important place to be, let alone rushing to go there.

Hence, seeing him in so much hurry just to go to school came as a complete surprise to them and they couldn't stop staring. They were staring at him like he had grown an extra head.

Jun Pyo noticed their eyes on him and he turned to them, "W..what?

Mrs. Gu moved close to him and placed her palm on his forehead. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, and why wouldn't I be?"

"You are hurrying and rushing to go to school that's why." Mr. Gu replied.

"Dad, what do you mean by that?" can't I go to school? Jun picked up his bag. "Don't you know how important school is?"

"Huh?

Mrs. Gu was staring awestruck at him. "Is this really my son?

She couldn't help but wonder if this was really her son? The same one who would refuse to go school and would prefer to be grounded instead? The same one who would always bunk class? The same one who would rather hang out with his clique than do homework?

"Is this really My Jun Pyo? She thought as she stared at him.

"Hope you are not about to cause any sort of trouble? Mr. Gu asked, Snapping Mrs. Gu out of her thoughts.

"Dad please, can't a man just go to school in peace? All my life you been nagging me to take school seriously and now that I want to practice what you always told me you seem to have a problem." Gu Jun Pyo scoffs and turned away. "I don't understand you at all. Jun Pyo shook his head and left the house leaving his parents stunned.

He arrived at school and quickly went round the school premises in search of her. (The Angel).

He searched high and low but still couldn't find her. He asked around using the little details he could remember from their faint encounter, but still no one knew who she was.

Because she comes to school earlier than most students. She would be the first student to arrive in school and among the Last to leave, also, because she is a loner. She always kept to herself and never spoke to anyone. She was invisible to her classmates.

This made it very difficult for Gu Jun Pyo. He searched everywhere and even sent some of his underlings to look for her. He even wrote a notice on the school notice board. Stating that whoever finds his angel would be rewarded handsomely. And this notice turned the Entire school upside down.

Since every student wanted to get into his good book and be praised by the school's richest boy. Everyone wanted to be acknowledged by the top richest boy in the school. Hence, everyone participated in the search even Lee Min Ho.

The search went on for weeks yet no one was able to find her. Jun Pyo's heart started to waver, he started to think that it was all his imagination. But even though he said that his mind was probably playing a joke on him and this Angel wasn't real, he still couldn't bring himself to forget her.

Despite this, Jun Pyo would still leave early to school and wouldn't return until very late. Hoping to find His Angel.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu received news that Jun Pyo never missed school and would always be present in every class. This news came as a surprise to his parents, especially his father who had done everything he could make Jun Pyo take his studies seriously but failed, despite trying really hard.

"Who would have thought that the almighty Gu Jun Pyo who couldn't stand the smell of school and books would become this dedicated?

"It is such a surprise."

Meanwhile Choi Kang San was also waiting for the beautiful girl he saw by the library. He has been coming to the library for over three weeks, but she was nowhere to be found.

He didn't give up hope and would come there always to check on her but still he didn't see her. It was just as if she vanished.

Gu Jun Pyo also continued his search for his Angel. Because despite wanting to he just couldn't shake of the feeling that she truly existed.

"She is real!

His guts were telling him that she was real and he would find her soon.

"But how do I explain her disappearance? He couldn't stop asking himself. This thought made him started to think that she is probably an Angel for real.

"Did she descend from heaven for a mission? "Has she returned back to heaven where she came from?

Different and silly thoughts kept flooding Jun Pyo's head and he got frustrated as he couldn't answer any of them.

"How could she just vanish like she was she washed off the surface of the earth?

Gu Jun Pyo kept his hope alive and would still go to the place he last saw her.

Yan Su Min on the other hand was totally unaware of the turmoil she had caused and would go through her daily routine like she used to.

She heard her classmates discussing about some 'Cinderella' whom the whole school were looking for, but the difference is that this Cinderella didn't leave a glass shoe that could be used to locate or identify her.

Since Su Min was invisible to her classmates, no one noticed or linked her to the given description of the mysterious 'Cinderella.'

Su Min was grateful for the peaceful days she's had from her bullies. Though she didn't know the reason why they didn't come look for her but she was happy they had left her in peace.

Su Min was on her way to the library when she heard some whistling sound, she walked towards the sound curiously, but the farther she went the more she more she drifted away from her destination. she felt the hair on her body stand, it felt like she was being watched. she looked around but no one was in sight. while looking around she noticed she was now on the other side of the school building.

"OMG! she cursed silently. how did I get here?" Su Min said to no one in particular. suddenly she heard a rustling sound. startled, she hurried her steps and was moving fast as she was getting an eerie feeling. she heard some footsteps but she was too scared to look back. she was rushing to leave that place, when suddenly out of nowhere a hand came and covered her mouth.

Su Min turned to look at the face but he didn't allow her turn, she felt his warm breath on her neck as he whispered softly in her ear. "You are safe now."

She tried to talk but it came out as a low muffle. "Who are you?

"I'm the one who's been searching for you and now that I finally found you, I'm not letting you go".

"Huh?"

Su Min couldn't believe her ears. "You are searching for me?" Su Min shook her head as she silently thought, "Oh No! Did I get into trouble with someone else yet again? Oh God only you can save me now."

Su Min could feel her legs moving but she was too engrossed in her thoughts to notice where they were headed, she finally noticed he had brought her to the first-year class by some strange route. he removed his hands from her mouth and slowly let her go. "Go to your class now, it's safe."

"Thank You so much but who ar....

Su min turned to see who had saved her, her sentence was left incomplete as her mouth was left ajar, she was stunned to see that she was alone. "Where did he go?

Su Min sighed softly as she turned to face the building, he had brought her. ''How strange." she muttered. "I didn't even get to thank him properly."

Since she wasn't a first-year student, she left there and went to her class.

Hidden behind the trees, he saw her leave, 'The Strange Man' turned and secretly followed her. "Where is she going again?" he thought to himself, before he saw her entering the 11th grade class. His jaw dropped and he tapped his forehead frustratingly.

"So, she had been so close to me and I couldn't find her? Jun Pyo couldn't believe that the Angel he had been searching for was in the class opposite his yet, he didn't notice.

"How strange?

Su Min entered the class and sat on her chair and puts her head on the desk she was panting heavily. she didn't understand what had happened there but she knew something wasn't right. She was happy she got saved even though she didn't know by who, she was still grateful to him.
