🔸KIM GA ON🔸

-Yo Han! What does it cost you to come!-

I huffed indignantly, looking at his figure fiddling with my father's tools, shirtless with his back against the sun.
The motorbike in front of him as he tried to figure out what needed fixing.
-I said no- he replied detachedly, his expression serious and focused.
-Come on! It's just a day in the mountains! It will be fun! You'll be able to meet my friends!- I persisted, sitting down on the smooth floor of the workshop, next to him, who was now kneeling and studying the vehicle's engine.

-And what makes you think I want to meet your friends? Do I look like someone who wants to make friends?- he retorted, keeping his gaze always glued in front of him, as if talking to me or listening to me was a waste of time.

-Yo Han, please! Do it for me! -

I rested my fingers on his outstretched arm, his toned muscles crossed by raised greenish veins, his skin slightly darker than mine, due to the sun.
He appeared a tad tanner than me, more stronger than I did.

-Yo Han... Please- I peered at his contrite, impatient profile once again.  Hopeful.
But his reply came with a deep sigh, stopping for a moment to glare straight into my stubborn self.

-Are you possibly asking me to do this for you? As if... Since when do you think you are so important to me?- he narrowed his eyes carefully.

-Who placed you in that high position? - he taunted me.

Almost like a mockery, not in the true sense of the word, but I felt bad about it. Quite bad, in fact.

-Oh for fuck sake! Yo Han! I only asked you to come with me! Together! I just want to have a good time with you, is it much to ask? You always have to ruin everything! -
- Ga On, don't be like this...- He gave up quickly, softening his cold gaze, lifting his attention towards me.
The sun's rays against his dark eyes. Now of a dense shade of chocolate.  A lovely one.
-I can't go, OK? Thank you for the invitation but I...-
I didn't let him finish his sentence.
-You can't or you don't ?- I said it quite harshly, seared by his daring words from earlier.
-Kim Ga On...-
-Answer! -I insisted, outraged. My fingers clenched into a fist.
Kang Yo Han looked at me for a few more instants. His eyes pervaded with a hint of pain. Tired but strong.
-I don't want to- he replied passively, his tone low.

-I don't want to go with you-

And that was enough to make me leave, even more hurt than before.

-Kim Ga On! Everything OK? You seem a little blue...-
Mark was the first to speak, as I had spent the whole car journey in silence, with earphones to my ears, immersed in a series of sad songs that had somehow comforted me.
-Yes but don't worry, it's no big deal, I'll get over it-.

Yes, of course Kim Ga On, who are you kidding?
No big deal, my ass!

-Anyway, I'm glad that crazy dude didn't show up again!-

I nodded my head, helping Mark and Jack get the wood inside the cabin we'd booked for that short holiday.
And yes, as Mark had said, it had now been three months since the incident, and we had gone to the police station to report everything. I had explained the assault while Nancy had described what she remembered of the stranger.
Unfortunately, word had got around and my father had found out about it, grounding me for two whole months for not telling him anything.
But now things were back to normal and I was no longer under attack, even though the police still had not found him.
-Come on guys! Let's go eat at some tavern and then finish putting up the tents - Daniel proposed, dragging us with him down the avenue.
The rest of the day was quite cheerful, once we had eaten, we went hiking up the mountain, the view was sublime and the clean air seemed to fill my lungs and relieve my mental tiredness.
We had also made friends with some hikers who, like us, had decided to go up there. One was called Miriam and the other Alex.
We exchanged numbers, talking about the more and the less, and for most of the day, I had managed to keep Kang Yo Han out of my head, as I was still angry with him, and I certainly wasn't going to be the one to apologise, at least not this time.
