Winter came out from the shower and she saw Karina still sitting on the sofa in the living room, still playing with her mobile games.

"Karina", she called.

Only that one single word already made Karina startled and turn her head around immediately, looking at Winter with her eyes wide open. Again, Karina was whipped with Winter's charm.

That wet hair.

Neckbones.

Winter only wore a white t-shirt with sweatpants, yet Karina found it extremely charming that she couldn't help but gasp silently in awe.

"Karina", Winter called Karina for the second time making the older girl startled again.

"Y-Yes?"

"What's wrong with you?", Winter walked towards her dressing room while busy drying her hair using the towel. Meanwhile, Karina kept her eyes on Winter, until she was completely out of her sight.

"I... I also don't know what's wrong... with me tho...", Karina scratching her neck out of embarrassment. Then, Karina suddenly remembered what she saw inside Winter's dressing room. But she decided to keep the secret to herself and act like she didn't know anything at all.

"Winter Kim... is the Healer..."

"Now everything makes sense...."

"The reason she protected me every time I tried to kill myself..."

"The reason she helps me every time something bad gonna happen to me...."

"It's all because..."

"She's the Healer..."

"It's her job... to protect me...."

Night came and Winter was in the living room together with Karina. Karina was watching the TV while Winter was playing with her phone.

The situation was quiet until suddenly Karina was the first one to speak up.

"Winter", the older called and Winter just answered her with a low hum.

"Let me see your arms", she continued.

"W-Why?", the sudden request makes Winter fear the worst. Is she somehow getting caught? She thought inside her mind.

"Can you just shut up and ask no question? Just let me see it!", Karina pulled Winter's left arm gently and then slightly lifted her sleeves. Karina then saw the bandage was slightly painted with Winter's blood.

"Let me change it for you..."

"I can do it myself tho"

"Hey-hey. Don't you know me? I'm the popular stubborn arrogant Karina Yu, so don't you dare not follow what I said. Now, stay, or I'll choke you to death!", Karina said while gazing sharply towards Winter's eyes.

Winter just gulping nervously as she looks at Karina who walks away to take a new bandage from the emergency kit. Seems like Karina did know Winter's house well~ Winter thought inside her mind.

Karina came back and sat right next to Winter. Then she slowly removed the bandage from Winter's hand, afraid to hurt her. Later Karina saw that stitched parts on Winter's arm.

"Looks like you move a lot today, aren't you?", Karina asked while smiling towards Winter, only making Winter feel a bit dumbfounded with Karina's behaviour.

"Why in the world did her attitude suddenly turn like this?!!", Winter was panicked inside, not knowing that her cheek slowly burning. They are sitting too close to each other.

"I-I... I don't know!", Winter answered. Later, Karina finished her job and sighed in relief.

"There you go. Clean as new", Karina smiled again making Winter turn her head to the opposite way. Seriously she can't face Karina every time Karina shows her that bright beautiful smile.

"L-Let's go to s-sleep then!", Winter suddenly stood up and headed towards her room in hurry. Karina was left alone again in the living room while slightly smirking, knowing what just happened.

"Oh my god, Winter Kim. You must be totally attracted by my charm, aren't you?", said Karina believing her instinct, flipping her hair proudly with a happy smirk.

Karina could not wait to tease Winter more day by day after she finally knew that Winter was that person. The Healer.

Karina came together to her campus the next day, and of course, she was together with Winter. Strangely, Karina did cling to her arms all along the way until the students around them kept staring at the two in confusion.

"Oh? Is she Karina's new girlfriend?"

"Oh my god! I can't believe that charming girl was together with that witch..."

"I feel sorry for that girl...."

Karina didn't mind the words she heard at all. Instead, she keeps walking with Winter. Even Winter found it strange as hell. Winter wishes to just kick this girl out of her way. Seriously? Karina has suddenly been so strange since yesterday.

Not far away from them, there was a group of guys on their skateboards rushing toward them. Even tho Karina did know that she would not get bumped with those guys, yet Winter did something Karina thought she would do.

"Careful", Winter pulled Karina away as the guy finally skateboarding right beside them. Then a sigh of relief was heard from Winter.

"What's wrong with you? They just passing by", Karina said.

"Well, you don't know what people gonna do to you later", Winter said and continued walking, leaving Karina again at the back as she tried to process what Winter said just now.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

............................................

Karina finally came back to her grandma's house. Don't ask Karina why she didn't go to her father's house anymore. Because if she came back, that evil man was going to curse his lungs out at Karina, and she might not take his words in a good way. That's why.

Karina just relaxed on the bed, sometimes walking to the balcony to take some fresh air. There's a lot inside her head right now actually.

She finally realized something again.

"Why I was so stupid before?", Karina asked herself.

Karina does realize her life at the campus slowly changed. There are not that many people who would talk badly about her. Also, there are no more people who would harm Karina on campus.

All this time Karina wondered why and what was happening. But she never thought the reason behind all of this was because of Winter.

Winter did all of this.

Hours ago, Karina saw a group of girls who usually gonna talk badly about Karina every time they saw Karina. But strangely they did see Winter together with Karina, and they slightly bent their body? Are they afraid of her?

Ah! Also that guy! That one certain guy who usually smirks at Karina. These few weeks he was nowhere to be seen. Isn't that strange?

There's a lot more tho. A lot until Karina couldn't recall all of it. But Karina does know that it must be because of Winter. Cuz Karina realized that every time those bad things were going to happen to her, Winter was there! Not beside her, but she was somewhere around her not far away from Karina.

"It's hurting me tho..."

"The fact that she did all of this..."

"Because it was her job..."
