Unrequited~ Han Jisung

Chapter 38. Rude is just another word for nervous

After school, Laura headed towards the library. It's not like she was looking for anything in particular but she needed to calm her mind and if that meant she had to read romance novels that either made her cry or bored her, that's what she would do.

Walking inside and heading towards the romance section. She ran her fingers along countless of books yet none seemed to spike her attention until she spotted pride and prejudice at the end of the shelf. She had seen the movie and she always knew books explained the plot and story a lot better so she was about to grab it before someone grabbed it before her. She knitted her eyebrows at the guy until he turned around and her jaw dropped.

"How lovely to see you here," The black haired boy gave her a sarcastic smile before she grabbed the book out of his hand and began walking away. "You do know I picked that up first," he started walking backwards as he pointed to the book and she rolled her eyes before he bumped into a book cart and almost fell over. Laura let out a snort and he looked straight towards her which made her go back to her straight face.

"If I wanted to talk to you, Minho. I would have stopped and had a conversation with you," Laura said and the boy smirked as he dusted off his pants and shoved the book cart away just a little bit.

"Your stopped now, are you not?" He looked down at her feet and back up at her which made her sigh before she began walking away from him. "Have dinner with me," he said and Laura stopped and looked behind her. He was displaying that stupid smirk on his face which made Laura sigh before she began walking away. "Please," he shouted and she closed her eyes in embarrassment knowing half the library were looking over at them.

She turned around and headed straight towards him before grabbing his arm and bringing him towards the back of the library. "I know what you are. I know what you do and I'm not going to fall for your pretty boy charm even if you paid me so please just leave me alone," she spoke up and Minho let out a sigh as he shoved his hands in his pockets and shifted his focus to his feet.

"Do you really think I'd ask just anyone out for dinner?" He looked back at her and she bit the inside of her cheek.

"I don't fuck around, Minho. If you want me to actually like you then try just a little harder," she began walking away again but he grabbed her arm and spun her around. "I. Don't. Fuck. Around," she said with spaces between the words once again and he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to his face, his nose barely touching hers. His breath smelled like mints and the freckle on his nose made Laura feel all sorts of ways. She wanted to give in but she knew what he was like so she pulled out of his grip.

"You owe me, beautiful," he smirked and her breath hitched at the name he gave her. "I allowed you to take pictures of me so now you'll do me a favour," he said and Laura hung her head low which made him chuckle a bit. "I just need help choosing new furniture for the apartment, you mind helping?" He asked as he threw his arm and around her shoulder and she shot her head up at him.

"You know I do know what that means, right?" She asked and he questioned her with his eyes which made her chuckle and shove his arm off her shoulder. "I have seen that movie," she said and Minho raised an eyebrow. "The one starring Kento yamazaki; Theatre: a love story," She said and Minho pursed his lips together as he looked anywhere but her. "Asking me to help you choose furniture isnt automatically gonna make me do it, knowing your just asking me on a date," she said and Minho sighed.

"I need help choosing furniture," he said and Laura looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Just pretend your helping me choose furniture," he whined and Laura chuckled a bit.

"That movie ended in tragedy. Are you trying to tell me that if we ever end up together that we'll end up like Nagata and Saki?" Laura asked and Minho sighed.

"They both enjoyed it while it lasted," Minho shrugged and Laura shook her head.

"He fucked her up. It wasn't some he said, she said bullshit," Laura retorted and then Minho shook his head.

"She allowed him to do so. She let him in every single time like an idiot so it wasn't even his fault to begin with. She allowed him to act like that and she took it. She could've said something but she didn't," Minho said and Laura shook her head vigorously.

"She was scared of losing him. She felt like if she didn't have him, being in Tokyo wouldn't be the same. She even said herself at the last scene of the movie that the reason she stayed was for him or else she would've moved back home," Laura said and Minho was about to talk back before the librarian grabbed them both and kicked them out.

"Have debates about movies elsewhere," The woman said before slamming the doors which made Minho and Laura jump at the sound. Laura let out a groan as she stared blankly at the doors of the library.

"Look what you did now you fucking idiot," She motioned to Minho who just blinked at her a couple of times before he smiled. "What?" Laura didnt even have time to think before Minho grabbed her hand and ran towards the bus that was stopped before pulling her inside. He sat her down on a chair and sat down beside her to which she just tutted and crossed her arms. "This is kidnapping," Laura scoffed and Minho shook his head.

"You'd be taking this bus home anyway," he looked out the window and she knitted her eyebrows together before looking at him.

"How do you even know where I live?" She asked.

"I do my research"

"Pervert"

"Finding out where someone lives is perverted now is it?" He titled his head to the side as he flashed her a bright smile and she just scoffed before looking out the opposite window, trying her best to drown out the sound of minhos voice that she loved oh so much.

She didn't know whether it was his sweet talk, confidence or tsundere personality but she really liked him and she didn't know how long she'd be able to live knowing he was just a player that treated every single girl the same. She wished he was different but he was just like every other dude on the planet which made her push him away even further even though she wanted him closer than ever.

On the other hand, Minho hated himself for who he was. He never really had a reason to change but his 1 reason to change didnt want anything got to do with him which just made him resent himself even more.
