Seriously?

Next Morning:

I woke up feeling like a dead person.

It took me a minute to realise in which dimension I was.

It's not new though, that's how I wake up every morning.

I sat up on my own bed and then stretched my arms up yawning. I was busy in my lazy wakeup routine when I heard familiar roar of my school bus.

Instant realisation hit me.

It's my bus!!!

"Ms.Choi!!! Why didn't you woke me up!!"

I threw my blanket away shouting her name at top of my voice, on my way to grab the toothbrush.

Ms.Choi came into my room with a spatula in one hand and her other arm was on her apron tied waist. If I didn't knew her, I would say that she was angry.

And for the first time ever, I felt scared of her. She was holding a spatula in a threatening way all while scowling at me.

"I did woke you up! But all did was whine and murmur 'I don't wanna go'. So I assumed you are gonna skip school." Her voice may not be so threatening but her aura sure was. I gulped.

"And if you are going to school now. You better be ready in 10." She said and went downstairs leaving a dumbfounded me.

Did she just scold me?

My face broke into a small smile. I loved this feeling. To get scolded and from someone, who really cares.

As if mom herself.

With the smile on my face I quickly went into shower knowing very well that it would take more than 10 minutes but let's give it a try.

I soon dressed up and got down the flight of stairs, rushing towards the shoe case. I took out my school shoes and wore them when I heard Ms.Choi called me out.

"Eat your breakfast!"

I happily marched towards the table to eat and prayed before taking bite.

"It's delicious!" I savored the gimbap while smiling cheekily. I saw Ms.Choi sending a warm smile my way but she turned away when she caught me looking.

"If you run fast enough to reach next bus stop in 3 minutes then maybe you will catch the bus." Ms.Choi suggested making my eyes widen.

"Okay bye! See you after School!!" I called out and ran out from the house towards the bus stop but the it was already gone.

I groaned mentally.

I could have just taken my car but....

I shook off the other thoughts forming in my head and decided to run to school all the way from my side of town.

After few minutes I reached school late and huffing and panting like a dog.

Damn...I need to work on my stamina.

I run up to my maths class and opened the door with a loud thud'.

"Joesonghaeyo seonsaengnim. I missed my bus. " I tried to breathe through my nose to get my breathing even. I looked near the board where three student stood, now looking at me.

Lee Soo-ho, Kang Soo-Jin, Lee Jukyung.

All three of them had chalk in their and were solving an equation on board.

"You are pardoned Ms.Y/N. But I hope you don't plan to make it a habit now." She said smiling sternly and I nodded at her statement, entering the room while looking down but my attention was grabbed by a sound of laugh-scoff.

I looked up to see Seojun in his normal attire. Wearing a light coloured hoodie with cargo pants.

That's how he dresses in school?

"Seems like Mr.Han finds something funny. Come on, you will solve the question now."

Our teacher exclaimed and out if the corner of my eye I saw Jukyung mentally thanking god.

I went to my seat and put my bag down and briefly looked at Soo-ho, who was now emerged in his book. My attention was shifted towards the Biker boy who had a scowling face while giving me a look.

I smirked in triumph making his lips purse even more.

That's what you get bitch.

After the period was over, I went to fill my water bottle along with Soo-Jin's bottle. I walked all the way to the water dispenser.

You wondering why I am taking the bottles?

Cause Soo-jin forced my lazy ass to do it.

I ignore whoever was standing beside me and began to fill my water bottle. When I looked up, I was met with those familiar orbs again.

In a distance, another boy was mentally judging both the students together and then shook his head.

Han Seojun was thinking that they both were seeing each other but now, he is denying that himself.

Back to me.

I raised a brow at the boy standing in front of me.

"Need something?"

Before he could reply, I heard Soo-Jin's voice behind me.

"Yah- Soo-ho. Want to join our study group?" She asked looking at the tall guy in front of me.

"No." He replied curtly without any further hesitation.

"I need you to join so my mother agrees without any nagging." I looked perplexed at her.

Then what am I? A potato?

"I thought aunty believed me enough to be with you." I made an offended face while putting a hand on my chest.

"Just tell her that I am in the group." Soo-ho turned around and left us standing there.

"He is playing hard to get." Soo-jin commented making me snicker.

He is already hard for Han Seojun.

That sounded wrong.

Let me rephrase that-

So, he has fallen hard for Han Seojun.

"So, we will start our studies as soon as Jukyung join us. And I will kick you out if you go on another date during the study session. And you-" Soo-jin turned towards me.

"Me?" I pointed a finger at myself feigning innocence.

"You will not sneak out." I snickered at it.

"No promises."

"I will provide the snacks if you stay pu-"

"I will not move an inch mam!" I straightened my posture and saluted her.

They all laughed and then Sua spoke up.

"Y/N! I gave him your numb-"

"You did what!? Gave my number to whom? And why-"

"Just meet him once." She pleaded and certain emo boy was listening to our conversation sneakily.

"No." I said in a firm voice.

"I ain't interested in dating."

"Well he will contact you soon!" She said as if ignoring what I just said to her.

"It's personality matter. Decide things after you meet him." Jukyung sent a reassuring smile to me while saying this.

"She will just keep her attention on food and you know that Sua." Soo-jin dived in the conversation with the most truest fact of all.

"Then Jukyung will meet him!" She grabbed her arm and giggled.

"Seriously Sua? You are that desperate to set us up?"

"No!"

After the school was over, we all boarded in bus. I looked for an empty seat which was only the at the back of the bus. I shrugged to myself and went inside, sitting near the window.

I took out my phone and began to scroll through Stargram.

I felt the seat beside me move and looked up to see the one and ONLY Lee Soo-Ho.

"If I didn't know you, I would assume that you like me but alas."

I felt him stiffen at my words making me laugh. I elbowed him in a friendly manner.

"I am just kidding. Here." I laughed it off and then offered him a bar of chocolate.

Surprising isn't it?

Me offering chocolate?

The reason is, well there is two of it.

1) I felt like giving it.

2) I have tried it before and didn't liked it.

Let's ignore the second one for now since I am generous.

Soo-ho looked at the chocolate in my hand with an neutral expression turning away soon.

"I don't like sweets"

Wow, this bitch is always ungrateful.

I gave him a look and was about to retreat my hand when I felt the bar being snatched out of my fingers. I looked at him with raised eyebrows who just put the chocolate in his coat, all while avoiding the eye contact.

This guys seriously has issues.

"So, where you headed?" I ask tilting my head.

"Prince comics." He replied in a stiff way.

Now if you look at it, he was sitting so stiffly too.

But, that's what makes Soo-ho, Soo-ho.

I was thinking of plugging in my earphone when a notification popped up.

Unknown:

'Hey there'

'It's Ji wu Hyung here. When would you like to meet?

"He actually texted just as Sua said." I sighed in exasperation. I am too tired for this honestly.

Y/N :

Y/N is typing...

' Will you pay for food-|'

I removed th text and re-wrote.

'Hey.'

Ji wu hyun:

"When shall we meet?"

"You should be studying not going on blind dates." I heard Soo-ho stating making me face him.

"You will have the top grades then. Why worry?" I brought my attention back to the phone.

Y/N :

'In the daytime?'

Ji wu hyun:

'Then let's meet tomorrow in daytime at Beurauteo.'

My smiled widened at the cafe name.

"You are enjoying this too much." Soo-ho remarked. I looked at him at the corner of my eyes.

"Don't give me that attitude. This is all happening because of you and Seojun fought in front of me. Soo-jin wants me to get off the rumours."

I responded making a face that clearly said- 'don't you dare to blame me.'

"You don't have to go if you don't want to."

He said in a quite soft tone compared to his usual stony voice.

"It's fine. After all, he offered to go to my favourite cafe!" I exclaimed quite giddy about the cafe.

I love the beverages from there!

"But honestly speaking, this is my first time meeting a guy alone." I pursed my lips slightly at the thought.

"Aren't you meeting me alone right now? "

Soo-ho's calm voice asked to me making me turn my head towards him with a thoughtful look. I felt a sudden jerk of bus making me fall forward but then a palm on my face supported me.

I sat back and adjusted ny hairs while speaking-

"You think my head is something like rolling pumpkin that you grab with a hand?" I looked at him in disbelief but he just turned his head away.

This bitch!!

Little did I know, the said guy was too flustered to make eye contact with me.

He was already contemplating why he chose to do that but before he could, another healthy guy wearing a yellow hoodie came inside and sat between Soo-ho and Y/N.

I was too focused on the phone to acknowledge the guy because this blind date guy just asked if I wanted to watch movie.

But I loved that cafe man....

At the same time, I wanted to watch this movie.

Well I will just go with the flow right now. I will take Soo-jin with me later to the cafe.

The time when I was thinking this, certain someone was trying to peek in my phone over the guy sitting between us.

Soo-ho was feeling some unexplained emotions that moment so he chose what he thought was best that time. He stood up and left.

I heard rustling of clothes and looked up to see Soo-ho leaving.

"I thought you said you wanted to go to Prince Comics?" But I got no reply and soon the bus started to move.

He needs to go to an asylum.

I shrugged and brought my attention back to my phone where he shared the address to the theatre. My phone began to vibrate.

"Yes Ms.Choi."

"I just wanted to ask for a favour." I heard some honking and bustling crowd in her background.

She is outside I think.

"Of course!"

"Actually, I am visiting my other friend's house-"

"You want me to take care of our house? Okay I wi-"

"No...I want you to come with me. I just hope you to meet them for once- I am not forcing you to! It's just that she has daughters that you could meet-"

I smiled and answered.

"Okay I will. Where do I have to come?"

I could almost feel her smile through the phone.

"I will send you the address and also, I have prepared clothes for you. You can wear them."

"Thank you Ms.Choi." As I cut the call, the bus stopped. I picked up my bag and walked straight to my house. I opened the door and went inside, marching directly to my room to take a quick shower.

After coming back I saw all my clothes were properly arranged on the shelf.

I took what I though will be best at the moment.

I took out a plain cream coloured below knee length dress.

I dried my hairs and then wore plain sandals taking the keys with me. I locked the door and then decided to walk to the place Ms.Choi asked me to come to.

It's a beauty parlour.

Soon, I came to the destination and looked at the decorated door.

Should I knock?

Or just go in?

Or should I knock and then go in?

What if I am wrong place?

"Why do I act like this!?" I whispered to myself and decided to walk in after checking twice that I was at right place.

Meanwhile Soo-ho was standing in his bathroom proceeding to wash his hand but stopped when he saw some red stain on his palm.

Once he looked closely he noticed that it was a lip mark. Only then he remembered the moment he caught Y/N's face in his palm accidentally.

He was looking at the lip mark so intently that he didn't realised he was moving his arm upwards towards his face.

Moreover, towards his lips.

He was so caught in the moment and the smell coming from the lip stain was intoxicating him. At least it had enough odour to hypnotize him like that.

But as his palm was inches away from his own lips, he snapped back to reality. His eyes widen at his actions and he looked left and right, wondering and wishing nobody saw him like that.

Even if he was in his own bathroom.

He wanted to punch himself but he was too occupied in figuring what he was doing and why?

Soo-ho washed his hand shaking his head. He decide to sleep thinking he is not in right state of mind.
