Secrets

Chapter 8: Insinuation

Man Bok's POV

I looked up from my phone after sending a text assuring my mom that I'm safe. I understand she cares for me but she's going a bit overboard. Hwa Sung was making small talk with Taehyung ( I don't usually bother with that girl) while Jung sat quietly, which was strange. Yeah, he is quiet, but this time it's like something's bothering him. I think it started when he and Hwa Sung came in. I wonder if anything personal happened.

'' They're acting strange, aren't they?'', I looked up at Talahai.

'' I thought I was the only one who noticed'' .

'' Hwa Sung, can you get us some snacks?'', Hwa Sung looked up at Talahai, irritated.

'' But you said you weren't hungry''.

'' Well, I've changed my mind, now shoo''. I knew exactly what he was planning. I looked at my phone. A new message from

Mom: Are you sure you're okay, no emergency or attacks or anything?

Me: I'm fine, Eomma. Don't worry too much. I'll be safe here.

Immediately she stepped out of that door, we ganged up on Jung.

'' What's going on?'', Talahai asked first.

'' I have no idea what you're talking about'', he said, drawing circles on his lap, a habit of his, especially when he's nervous or lying.

'' Guys, I think it started when he and Hwa Sung came in'', I added, not knowing whether it would be helpful or not.

'' What were the two of you doing outside?'', Talahai insinuated by wiggling his eyebrows.

''N-no, no, no, no and no! Never in a million years''.

'' Come on, you know you can tell us if you like her''.

'' There's nothing between us, I swear''. He was blushing.

'' Fine, if you won't tell us, we'll ask Sung-ahh''.

Jung's POV

When Talahai sent Hwa Sung away, I knew something was up, but I didn't expect to be bombarded with all these questions. They actually thought we were....................

Yeah, I'll admit it. I kinda have a teeny weeny crush on her, but she probably doesn't like me. I also want to be sure I can trust her before I make a move. I'm also annoyed that I'm all alone to deal with her mess. No one heard the door open when it did.

'' Ask me what?''. I released a sigh of relief. So fast? At least, she can finally clean up her mess. I hope she's better than me at acting and lying.

''So........what's going on with you two?'', Taehyung said, wiggling his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes.

'' Nothing'', I caught a hint of a blush taint her cheeks. Damn, she's good.

''Then what were you doing?''.

''Well I'm not supposed to say.....'', wait, what's she saying?

'' Baek Il Jung-shhi actually asked me to tell him one of your most embarrassing times so he could tease you about it later''.

''Very funny, you know.....''.

''Come down now to receive tomorrow's assignment'', the PA System announced.

''Let's go''.

Hwa Sung's POV

I was in a hurry, knowing that I left Jung with the twins. He could blab everything to them. I met them in time to hear, ''..........we'll ask Sung-ahh''.

Curious, I asked, ''Ask me what?''. I swear I heard Jung exhale. When I heard Taehyung's question, I couldn't help the small blush that tainted my cheek. I turned my head a bit to cover my tainted cheeks, but I think they saw. I quickly thought of a lie and blurted it. Thankfully, it seems like they bought it. Before Taehyung could think of a comeback, the PA System told us to assemble down, so I quickly run out of the suffocating room.
