1 Rooftop

Bae Jiali

Once again, I was skipping my maths class. Mr Song was pervert fresh out of Uni hence, I didn't like him. He had tried to get my number about 20 times now. He expected me to gush over him like the other foolish female species in my year. I was a genius so grades weren't the problem.

I checked my watch for the second time now turning back occasionally to see if the person was coming.

Finally, after five minutes, the entrance to the roof was opened.

"Hey Bitch!" He walked over to me and took a seat beside me.

"Hey dickhead" I said smacking the back his head.

"Sorry. I know I'm late. It's hard coming up with an excuse to leave class. They probably all think I have serious bowel problems by now besides I don't have the luxury of being fucking Einstein. " he laughed before turning his attention back to me.

I untucked my top which I was wearing inside my shirt to reveal a massive purple bruise stretching from the top of my ribcage down to my hip and from the middle of my back to my belly button.

He stared at it before pulling me into a hug. His hugs were always the best.

"What on Earth happened to you?" He asked whist rubbing my back.

"Chae almost hit me to death with a metal chair leg whilst I was asleep." I said between sobs.

"Did you do anything to her or provoke her?" He asked softly.

"No. Her boyfriend asked me out and she found out." I said blankly.

"Everything is not gonna be ok but you have me." He said quietly but loud enough that I would hear him.

"Park Jisung, you're too good to me." I said resting my head on his chest still crying out of pain.

I rarely broke down in front of people. The only person who would care is Jisung.

He took out a cigarette and a lighter and was about to light it but I grabbed it from his hands and placed it in my pocket.

"Jia, please. I need to" he pleaded.

"No you don't " I unwrapped a lemon flavoured lollipop and shoved it in his mouth. Lemon was his favourite.

He shrugged and licked it anyway. I hated people smoking or doing drugs and Jisung smoked. He was my favourite person so I try to stop him when I can. Being my favourite person means that I pamper him.

He stood up and helped me get to my feet.

"Let's get you to the hospital" he said whilst putting my arms over his shoulder. I was quite tall 174cm just 6cm short of Jisung. So the height difference didn't really cause any problems.

"No nononono. Their gonna call up a family member. Chae would probably come and kill me there and then." I said.

We were walking really slowly due to my limping. I hated being a burden so I removed my arm from his shoulders and started walking normally. After all, I had gotten myself up there so I could get myself back down. Jisung stood there watching me in disbelief.

Jisung

Jia started walking off and I knew she didn't want to be a burden. She never was. I know that bruise must sting like a bitch. It wasn't the first or the worst she had gotten. I caught up with her and bent down for her to get on my back.

I got on Jisung's back. I know when to accept help and affection. Besides, this shit stings like a bitch. When we got outside the building we stopped.

"Where the fuck are we going anyway?" Jisung asked.

"I don't know" I said playing with his ears. A habit that developed through the years of our friendship.

"My place then" he sighed and started walking.

"Hell no! Your gangster family will probably chop your head off" I stopped playing with his ears.

"WELL THEN WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU WANNA GO THEN!!!" He shouted gathering attention from students in classrooms as well as teachers. Mr Hwang, the PE teacher ran out, chasing us with a cane.

"Your home it is then" I smiled as Jisung took off.

Rain began to fall soaking us. We stopped to rest under a tree.

"Bae. Jia. Li. Are you out of your fucking mind?" Jisung painted heavily.

"I needed to liven the mood. Don't you think? Sorry for the extra kilos." I laughed.

"You know you don't weigh anything." He rolled his eyes.

"You haven't eaten anything, have you?" He frowned.

"Well... I kinda left all our stuff at school." I scratched the back of my head.

"I mean breakfast you dumb bitch" he opened his bag and handed me a sandwich which I consumed happily.

"Park Jisung" I looked up at him.

"What?" He scoffed

"You're a life saver" I smile at him.

"I know." He turned away, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

Those were our friendship dynamics.

We've both been through some serious shit. Heck! I was still going through shit right now. We've pulled each other from our darkest places.

He then crouched down and I got on his back. We headed towards his home.
