Chapter 4:
Jihee's POV:
"Good morning Jiyong!"
Almost every student greeted him as they saw him passing by the entrance and the hallway
"Good morning." he smiles and blow kisses at them
I look at him with a confused face. From what I can see, he's actually not the friendly type.
"What?" he asked as he saw my eyes judging him.
"You're such a fake. I can't deal with you at all." I said and left him there as I walk in a fast pace.
I heard him yelling my name but I didn't bother to look back. I just can't stand it, I hate fake people. Deceiving people, lying to others, faking yourself, don't you think it's a waste? Why do you need to pretend if you can be yourself?
Oh.. I think I know.. Maybe, he's someone who's really afraid to be unloved. Afraid to be alone. Afraid to be a nobody. I guess some people are just like him, huh?
I was eating alone and peacefully inside the canteen when someone suddenly popped out of nowhere and smelled my hair.
"Hmm~ she smells nice." unknown guy said
Who the hell is this guy? What is his deal? I glared at him and pointed my fork on his face.
"Hey chill bae. I'm not going to do something." he chuckled as he sat beside me.
"Please, you don't need that." he said and lightly pushed the fork away from him.
He leaned on the table with his arm and his chin resting on the back of his palm. He was staring at me like I'm some kind of abstract painting.
"Who the heck are you?" I asked with a blank face
"You're cute. I like you." he grinned.
The next thing I knew, he flew down the floor.
"Don't you dare try hitting up with my girl!" Jiyong exclaimed.
Everyone inside the canteen went silent for a moment. After the dead silence, they start whispering to one another.
"Jiyong and Jihee are going out?" "I thought that girl hates him." "What's happening?" "I didn't know Jiyong can hurt people." "But admit it! He looks cool."
"Hahahaha! Eunki-ya, I told you not to do that." a guy who looks like a giant baby appeared.
"Calm down Jiyong. We can handle this without violence." long haired guy said.
"Darn you Eunki." Jiyong's usual approachable and prince-like aura turned into a devilish one
Everyone seemed to be shocked and taken aback at Jiyong's change of aura. This is the most authentic behavior of Jiyong that I have ever seen since the moment we met. So, this is the real Jiyong. I watched them with a grin on my face. Interesting~
"Dude she's all yours. Hahahaha! Why are you getting so worked up? I didn't know you're so serious about this girl. But hey, she's really cute." Eunki (?) said to Jiyong.
That guy winked at me.
He knows how to piss this guy. I prevent myself to laugh.Are these guys his friends? Probably the friends who knows the real Jiyong because they know how to push his buttons.
Jiyong grab Eunki's collar and slightly lift him up.
"Oh seriously Jiyong. Don't tell me you'll be affected by this i***t. Stop it before the teachers get involved! You know he's just messing with you." long haired guy interjected.
He separated the two. He kinda gives off an aura that is slightly in favor of a femme side but wow, the way he handles things makes him look so cool. He sigh but then he smiled again. He brush his finger through his hair and look behind him to see what the giant baby guy is doing. His long hair makes him even more attractive.
"You're cool." I said to that long haired guy.
"Well thank you." he slightly bowed his head
"YAH! YOU CALLED ME A CREEPY SCUMBAG WHEN WE FIRST MET! I guess that's your first impression. BUT YOU CALLED THIS GAY COOL!" Jiyong protested as he pointed at the long haired guy.
"So what? And it's not a first impression. I really think you're a creepy scumbag." I said and rolled my eyes at him.
I continued eating without minding them. Eunki sat back up on my left side and Jiyong sat on my right.
"So, your prince-like charm doesn't make you appealing to her." long haired guy giggled.
He's really on the feminine side.
"Shut up, Kou." Jiyong groaned.
"Kou, huh?" I whispered
The long haired guy named Kou sat on the chair in front of me.
"Hi there! I'm Shimizu Kou. It's my pleasure to meet you. And you are?" He asked with a gentle innocent smile on his face.
"Choi Jihee ." I slightly bowed at him as I introduced myself.
"Hey! What the hell! You freaking angel! Stay away!" Jiyong whined like a child.
What is this retard's problem?
That giant baby sat beside Kou and waved at me.
"Hey!! I'm Nagayoshi Haru!! What about me? What do you think of me? If Kou is cool and Jiyong is a creepy scumbag, what am I?" He said with a very energetic voice then he pokes his cheek using his point finger then smiles.
"You're.. weird." I said blankly
Eunki burst out laughing as Haru pouted as if he's about to cry.
"Don't be so hard on him, princess." Kou smiled and patted Haru in the head.
"Me? A Princess? Don't call me that. I hate it. And the weird I mean is like a compliment like unique not really something to offend Haru. Well he's actually cute like a baby." I explained.
"You're nice." Haru said and smiled at me.
"Well, he's serious about being the youngest in our group so he likes to act like one." Eunki teased.
"What about me! I'm handsome you know!!" Jiyong protested
"I know." I said calmly
"You do?" He asked looking puzzled.
I guess he was shocked about my reply.
"Yeah. You're handsome, but it's a shame that you're a creepy scumbag. Bye!" I smiled, waved at them and left the canteen to go back to my classroom.
There's only 4 of them but they're tiring to be with. I'm only used to having Tyler as my friend but now that he's gone I have to deal with 4 people. I'm not a fan...
10 minutes before lunch break ends, a group of girls barged into our class and demanded me to meet them at the rooftop. Now, what do these crazy girls want? I'm in no mood to create trouble.
Jiyong's POV:
The bell rang. Sign that we're dismissed.
The guys before were my friends since like forever. Though we, my family, move to other parts of the world, me and those guys didn't lose communication. We stayed friends or even like brothers to each other.
Park Eunki is the most dangerous for women, i guess. I mostly flirt with girls but Eunki dates them all. Even at the same time.
Nagayoshi Haru is a year younger than us so, he's probably the same age as Jihee. He likes acting like the baby of our squad and he's kinda adorable sometimes but he knows when to get serious.
And Shimizu Kou, he's the Angel, the real one. He's my best friend and he is the most responsible one making sure that we keep and don't lose our shits.
Enough of them, they're stealing Jihee and that's a big no. I might lose the deal if her grand father saw them closer to her than me.
I walk to Jihee's classroom to ask her if she wanted me to take her home.
"Hwang Jiyong, w-what can I do for you?" a girl from class B asked shyly.
"Have you seen Jihee?" I asked while looking inside their room and not see any traces of her.
"Choi Jihee? Hmm.. Ano, Chi! Did Choi Jihee attended the afternoon class?" she asked one of her classmates
"I don't think so. But i heard that she's in the infirmary the whole afternoon." the other girl said and walked toward us
"Why is she there?" I asked
"Are you dating her, Jiyong?" girl 2 asked
"No. I mean not yet."
"Some girls beaten her up. They thought you're dating her because of what happened in the canteen this lunch break." girl 2
"Is that so? Then, I'm going. Thank you girls!" I smiled and winked at them
"Hwang Jiyong, wait!" one of them called which stopped me.
"Yes?" I asked with a smile.
"Jihee's bag is still here." girl 2 said.
"Oh. Thanks." I said and hurriedly get her things.
I run to the infirmary. I looked for her and saw her with medical plasters on her face and knuckles. She also has wounds on the side of her lips.
"What happened to you?" I shouted
"Calm down. You're overreacting, you're not my boyfriend. And if you think i might die, and your deal with your grandfather would fail then don't worry I'm fine." she said as she get up of the bed.
"I'm seriously worried though." I said.
"Wanna know something? I also have a deal with my grandfather. I need to keep you away or else my freedom will be gone. I've been thinking about it and I don't want to lose my freedom. That's all I've got." She said with a serious look on her face.
"Is that why you don't want to work with me? Your grand father might discover that we're faking it and you'll get in trouble for it?" I asked.
"Yes but I was beaten up by your so called fans. I won't let that go, but if i fought back my grandfather might learn about it and kill me. So i guess the best revenge is to date you. I also realized that I've been thinking about my grand father way too much. I'm used in being in trouble. It's fun watching him go crazy. I'm in." Jihee smirked.
"Then, should we work together and pretend?" i ask her while helping her to stand
"I have one condition though. Since you're the most benefited here." she looked at me straight into my eyes.
"What is it?" I asked slightly scared of what she's about to say.
She wouldn't gonna sacrifice me to the devil, would she? Or is she fantasizing about my body? No way!
"You'll listen to every thing i say or order you, okay?" she said
"What the-- Okay fine, whatever. Let's go, i'll walk you home." I said.
But that's not any better. Now I'm like her puppy. We're only starting but I already want this to end. Gramps owe me so much for this.
"Okay." she said and walked behind me "Oh, before I forget. Don't you dare fall in love with me. That'll be a hassle."
"That's not gonna be a problem." I scoffed.
Just because she's pretty, she thinks I'm gonna fall for her. As if! She's not my type.
