Rival | Kim Seungmin

Mall

Yeeun POV

After taking a shower, I sat at my desk and began looking through my planner. I figured I hadn't been studying enough lately so I thought it'd be a good idea to spend the night with my practice books.

"So did you have fun with your boyfriend after ditching me like that?" Wonhyuk asked as he walked into my room.

"He's not my boyfriend," I rolled my eyes.

"Yet you left me without a word to hang out with him," he replied, unconvinced, as he sat on my bed.

Bickering with Wonhyuk was a daily routine at this point. Why do I have a twin brother like him? "You should consider it a blessing to be my twin," he spoke.

My head snapped in his direction and he threw a mere smirk at me, "What? You think I don't know how to read you?" I immediately looked back at my planner in attempt to change the subject.

"You want me to make it up to you? Why do you complain so much?" I asked as I crossed things off my to do list.

He clicked his tongue as he spun my chair towards him. "You wanna tell me why he thinks I'm your boyfriend?" He asked with a raised brow, his arms crossed.

"How would I know?" I furrowed my brows. That explains why he kept acting weird when Wonhyuk was around.

He eyed me for a while. "You didn't even bother telling him we're related?"

I stared at him blankly. "Why would I? He never asked and I had no reason to," I shrugged. Wonhyuk nodded and waved his hand in a shooing motion, telling me to get back to what I was doing.

I happily turned back to my desk pulling out my practice books. As I focused on solving the problems in front of me, I barely noticed Wonhyuk roaming around my room. "What are you doing?" I asked without sparing him a glance. He didn't respond and continued walking around, rummaging through my closet and drawers.

I tried to ignore him but that soon became difficult. I put down my pen and closed my practice book in frustration. "What are you doing?" I turned to face him. He only glanced at me for a second before proceeding to search through my closet. I took a deep breath to calm myself as I stood up and walked to him. "Care to answer me now?" I asked once I was at his side.

"Let's go shopping tomorrow," he suggested.

"And why should we?" There wasn't anything I wanted and he definitely didn't have room for more clothes.

"I invited a friend out and I was wondering if you'd be nice enough to accompany me," he shrugged.

I threw myself onto my bed, hugging a nearby pillow. "Why do I have to be there if you're hanging out with a friend?"

"So I can make sure you're not wasting the rest of your senior year studying," he looked at me with genuinely worried eyes. Instead of responding I just looked away questioning whether I should relax or not.

Wonhyuk POV

I woke up early the next morning and jumped out of bed in excitement. "Today marks the first day Yeeun will love going out," I encouraged myself as I looked in the mirror. I hurriedly got ready before checking the time on my phone.
10:38 AM it read. "Perfect, let's see if my accomplices are ready," I smirked.

"Song Yeeun~" I sang as I walked into her room.

"Get out," she mumbled from under her sheets. Instead of listening, I walked over and pulled the blanket off her.

She immediately sprang up and glared at me. "Do you have a death wish?"

I shrugged, "Maybe I do, maybe I don't."

She grabbed the collar of my shirt in a spilt second, and I hurriedly grabbed her hand to stop her from hitting me. "Alright, alright I'm sorry! Don't hit me, I just wanted to tell you to get ready!" I said frantically.

"Get ready for what?" She asked angrily.

"We have guests coming, so hurry," she let go of me and I ran out of the room hoping she would comply.

About 15 minutes later I knocked on the door before opening it. "Are you done?" I asked, peering through the door. Jiyeon was waiting downstairs and Yeeun still hadn't came out.

"Who's the guest anyway?" She asked as she took her time getting ready.

"You'll find out the sooner you finish," I leaned on the doorway with my arms crossed.

She looked at me through the mirror and rolled her eyes. "Alright, I'm done. You owe me for disturbing my sleep though."

"Fine, fine, I'll pay for your meal yeah?" I raised an eyebrow and she nodded happily.

I pulled her downstairs and she looked at Jiyeon in confusion. Before I could let her question anything, I dragged them both outside and towards the bus stop.

When the bus came and we got situated, Yeeun kept looking at me with disgust. I tried to ignore it but it was hard to. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Your friend you mentioned yesterday was Jiyeon?" She asked in disbelief.

"And what if she is?" She eyed me suspiciously but soon shrugged it off. I mentally let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully Hyunjin is on his way there too.

Once we arrived at the mall I grabbed Yeeun's arm and pulled her along as Jiyeon followed. "Can you stop treating me like a child?" She grumbled. Nope, there's no way I'm letting go before she sees them.

I ignored her as we continued walking. I looked around for Hyunjin but didn't see him anywhere. "We said we'd meet here, where is he?" I mumbled.

"Wonhyuk!" I turned around to see Hyunjin walking towards us.

"What are they doing here? Yeah, I'm going home," Yeeun said as she tried to get out of my grasp.

"Nope, nope, nope, you're gonna have fun and I'm gonna make sure of it," I said as I motioned for Jiyeon to make sure she stayed put.

I waved as the three familiar faces stopped in front of us. They waved back as Felix and Jiyeon began talking as if they were in their own world. So much for helping me keep Yeeun here.

We decided to split up into groups of two and buy something for one another. I hurriedly picked Hyunjin as my partner, pushing Felix towards Jiyeon. "Alright Yeeun, that means you and Seungmin are partners," I smiled.

He slowly walked towards her as she glared at me.
You'll thank me later.
