Stuck ~ Choi Jongho

You were staying after school to finish a project that was due in two days. To your dismay, Jongho was your parntner. There wasn't really anything you had against him, you just didn't like him. The way he bosses everyone around - the way everyone does what he says. You were sick of it.

The teacher had given you a spare key to one of the classrooms so you could lock up when you were done.

As always, you were the one doing most of the work. "Can you at least try to help?!" You muttered. "What do you want me to do?! Every time I try to help you just say I do it wrong!" He yelled.

He wasn't wrong. The perfectionist side of you tend to come out when you were under pressure. "I'm sorry I'm just stressed, we don't have much time left!"

A long silence followed but you were too focused to notice it.

"Isn't there anything I can help with without being scolded??" He broke the silence.

"You can go to the storage, the one outside the principal's office you know? We need more material."

He nodded and went out of the room.

Your mind went back to focus-mode.

When you eventually ran out of material, you noticed Jongho hadn't come back yet. Did he get lost or something? It's not that far..

Annoyed, you went out to look for him.

You went up to the storage door. "Jongho? What's taking so long??"

"Uhh I'm kind of stuck.. The door is locked, can you open it?"

You chuckled, how did he even manage to do this..

The lock was really stuck. It took you a few minutes, but you finally managed to open it. Without thinking, you went inside and started grabbing what you needed. That's when you heard the door slam shut behind you.

"Y/n!!! The door! Now we're stuck. Great." He sat down on the floor. "Oh my god, no!" You started banging on the door.
"It's useless, no one's here at this hour."

"Now what?" You said as you plopped down on the floor across from Jongho. "Didn't you bring your phone?" He asked. You always brought your phone with you, so a sense of relief hit you as you checked your pockets. Empty. Ofcourse. "No.."

"Well great.."

Neither of you knew what to say, so you just sat there on the cold, hard floor. Staring into nothing as awkward tension filled the room.

You wanted to look anywhere but in his direction, so your eyes panned around the room and you saw a window. "Bruh there's a window.." you sighed, feeling stupid since you hadn't noticed it until now.

Both of you stood up and walked across the room to the window, he tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. "Fuck!" He yelled. "It's fucking locked."

You both sat back down in defeat. "Well if we're gonna be here for a while, let's talk about something." He said.

"Hmm talk about what exactly?"

"Like why you hate me for no reason.."

You let out a sigh. "It's not that I hate you, I just don't like how people are kissing your ass just cause you're rich."

"And you think I like that? You think I like when people are trying so hard to kiss my ass just so I'll invite them to hang out, or so I'll follow them on social media? Do you really think I want that?" He sounded quite annoyed at your response.

"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

"It's just.. I never meet any real people you know? Someone who doesn't want me only for my money." He made eye contact with you, his gaze looked desperate. Like he wanted you to keep asking, so that maybe he will be forced to tell you more. He wasn't sure why he was telling you all of this, but it felt nice to have someone listening. Someone who actually paid attention to his words.

"People like you stay away from me because of it.. and that's not what I want."

Your eyes widened. "What do you mean people like me?"

"Good people. Real, genuine people."

"Jongho I- I don't know what to say.."

He scooted closer to you. "Don't say anything, just give me a chance Y/n, that's all I'm asking for." He removed a strand of hair from your face.

It was the first time you saw him like this. Exposed, showing his true self. His face moved closer to yours. "Can I kiss you?"

You nodded. He moved his face closer, your lips merely inches away from touching. You became impatient and closed the space quickly, pressing your lips against his. His soft, plump lips caressing yours in a short, but meaningful moment.

You pulled away, placed your head on his shoulder. "Maybe it won't be so bad to stay here with you after all."
