ARRANGED DEAL ; [윤정한 x 최승철]

Chapter 1

"I'm Yoon Jeonghan, the President of the Student Council," the guy named Jeonghan said, confidently.

Seungcheol laughed at him, it left Jeonghan confused on his inner side, but he maintained his fierce expression in front of Seungcheol. 'He doesn't know me, but now I get it,' Seungcheol thought.

"Do you even know who the fuck you are talking to?" Seungcheol laughed at Jeonghan, who's now smirking at him.

"Of course I know you, Choi. Seung. Cheol." Jeonghan answered, emphasizing every syllable of Seungcheol's name.

In just a snap, a silly smirk turned into clenching his teeth. He's getting pissed, Wonwoo thought while watching them.

"Looks like Seungcheol found his match now," Mingyu smirked as he whispered to the two other boys, watching these two bickering in the middle of the hallway.

"You're not afraid of me, are you?" Seungcheol asked, bringing back his playful smirk, but he sounded and looked so pissed with the blonde guy in front of him, which happened to be Yoon Jeonghan.

"Why would I be afraid of you?" Jeonghan asked fiercely, fighting Seungcheol's smirks and glares.

Seungcheol walked near Jeonghan. Everyone turned their face into a worried look for Jeonghan, as they knew what might happen when Seungcheol started to do this move. Mingyu, Wonwoo and Vernon waited for Seungcheol's move, as they also know what their friend is capable of.

Seungcheol leaned in closer and closer. Everyone in the hallway gasped, and everyone was silent. No one dared to talk. Even the murmurs earlier were now gone. As Seungcheol leaned in, Jeonghan didn't even flinch a bit. Seungcheol's presence isn't even enough to make him flinch as he heard a lot about him last year, the year where Seungcheol was still in the States.

He was about to do something, but the bell rang, and everyone in the hallway rushed to their respective classrooms before their homeroom teachers came in.

"Say thanks to the bell. We're not done yet," Seungcheol whispered to Jeonghan's left ear, but Jeonghan didn't even flinch. But he's worried though. Did he even do the right thing with Seungcheol? He thought, as he eyed Seungcheol walking away with his three other friends as if nothing happened.

He touched his lips, "Geez, he got my first." He facepalm. Yes, that was his first, and he never expected that Seungcheol would take it.

He stayed there for some couple of minutes before making his way to the classroom. He was greeted by his four friends, Joshua, Jihoon, Seokmin and Seungkwan. He was glad that the teacher wasn't there yet. "Hey, we heard about the chaos earlier. Did Seungcheol hurt you?" Joshua asked immediately as he wrapped his arms around Jeonghan.

"No, he didn't." Jeonghan answered and he sighed. He sat on his table next to Seungkwan.

"I heard you guys kissed," Seokmin blurted out innocently, Jeonghan gave him a death glare as he didn't want to get reminded of that thing. He hates it.

"He got your first kiss?!" Joshua almost shout, and Jeonghan shushed him.

"Yeah, and it feels like hell. I'm reserving it for Sowon, but he ruined it," Jeonghan said in disappointment. He has this girlfriend named Kim Sowon, one of the school's representatives when it comes to modeling.

"Does Sowon already know?" Seungkwan asked, Jeonghan shrugged. But he has his hopes that she doesn't know yet. She's just in the building next to theirs, as she's taking a different course.

"I don't know if she already knew. But I hope she doesn't. It was an accident, and I hate it." Jeonghan said as he messed up his hair in frustration.

Little did he know, that one thing he hated the most, is the thing he'll love every second of his life.

"Who is that Yoon Jeonghan guy?" Seungcheol asked his friends. They're in the Men's Restroom right now. Wonwoo didn't want to join, but Mingyu dragged him.

"The President of the Student Council. He transferred last year, yet, he became the Student Council's President that same year. His term will end by the end of this month." Vernon answered, as Wonwoo wants to go to the class already but Mingyu's stopping him.

"He's a total jerk. He doesn't even care that I am Choi Seungcheol, the most famous guy here in Pledis University and the son of the owner of this school." Seungcheol released his anger. He couldn't control it infront of his friends. He almost exploded earlier if it wasn't for the bell.

"You almost exploded. I guess it wasn't just me who didn't change a bit," Wonwoo said, as he was finally defeated by Mingyu, making him stay with them.

"So you heard me earlier about you being a bookworm?" Seungcheol asked, turning his face on Wonwoo. "Of course, I was just some meters away from you," Wonwoo smirked.

"Alright, let's move faster. We don't want Mr Nam to scold us once again." Vernon said. "You guys go ahead. I'm just going to wash my hands." Seungcheol said and washed his hands for the last time.

"Okay, if you say so." Mingyu said and left with the two.

Seungcheol averted his gaze straight onto the mirror. He stared at his lips and touched it. "He's my first, damn it!"

Who would actually expect that of a guy who dated several women, but didn't even have his first kiss with any of them? Instead, he got it with a stranger. A stranger that he didn't expect to come into his life. That stranger is Yoon Jeonghan.
