The Mafia's Son|Park Sunghoon|

26

Angelica sat down at the lunch table with a thump.

Jake being the first one to notice, nudging her with his elbow, making her look at him. Once her gaze was on him, he raised his eyebrows in question.

She shook her head to signify that it was nothing. After looking at her for a few seconds, he nodded and turned back to his food.

"Oh you're here! That was quicker than usual." Yu Ahn joked once she finally noticed Angelica, pausing her conversation with Olivia.

Angelica gave her a smile trying to not make it seem too forced.

"We were planning a sleepover at my house. My parents are out of town so we have the house all to ourselves. Of course you're invited." Yu Ahn excitedly said as she placed her palms on the table, leaning forward.

Angelica wasn't feeling a sleepover today or not even for the rest of the week.

"I don't think I can-"

"Oh come on! Please. I can tell you're in a bad mood and there's nothing better for a bad mood than to hang out with new friends." Yu Ahn pleaded as she grabbed Angelica's hands.

Angelica looked over at Jake for help, but all he did was raise his eyebrows and shrug. Angelica sighed looking back towards Yu Ahn who already had a huge smile on her face.

"Fine."

Before she could even finish her sentence, Yu Ahn was already squealing and shaking Olivia who was next to her. Angelica smiled at the way Olivia was trying to push Yu Ahn off her but to no avail.

I guess a sleep over won't be that bad.

****

The girls sat all around the living room as they snacked on the left over chips while watching a movie.

 As soon as they had gotten to the house they were met with Yu Ahn standing in the living room with all her face care products, saying they will do facials. Then they ended up getting in the jacuzzi in the back yard for 'relaxation' which just ended up in them laughing at nothing. They were in there for at least an hour, complaining whenever a cold breeze came. It took them a few minutes to get the courage to get out of there, but after they did they wore their pajamas and sat to watch movies.

The movie was starting to get boring and Olivia suddenly blew a raspberry, making Yu Ahn and Angelica know exactly what she meant.

 Yu Ahn grabbed the remote and turned the TV off, sitting up straight with her hands on her lap.

"Let's gossip, that's more fun." Yu Ahn stated with a smirk and the other two girls groaned.

"Gossip about what?" Olivia nonchalantly asked as she sat up in her seat too.

"Teachers?.." Yu Ahn suggested and the other two nodded.

They were quiet for a few seconds but Olivia suddenly broke the silence.

"Mr. James is hot."

Angelica and Yu Ahn burst out laughing at the sudden statement.

"Mr. James looks like a middle aged father of five." Angelica grimaced as she shook her head.

"So? That's hot."

Soon their laughter dyed down as they thought of something else to say.

"Mrs. Sylvia has favoritism."

"Towards who?" Olivia asked.

"Park Sunghoon, of course."

At the mention of his name, Angelica's faced dropped a little, everything from that morning coming back to her memory.

"He comes into class late and she never marks him late. She lets him delay all his assignments and tests when we have to turn it in on a specific day. She even lets him sit out of class activities when if we don't do class activities, we get detention." Yu Ahn continued, Olivia nodding along in agreement.

"Speaking about Park Sunghoon.... Angelica?" Olivia teased with her eyebrows going up and down.

Angelica hummed in response as she was startled at the sudden call of her name.

"It's so obvious you have a crush on him. Aren't you curious?"

"Curious about what?"

"About him." Yu Ahn responded as she faced Angelica in her seat.

Angelica had always been curious, ever since she first met him. There was so much she wanted to know.

"Yes."

The girls cheered at her long awaited confession. They both adjusted themselves in their seats as if it was an important meeting. 

Angelica straightened herself up as well just to not be the weird one that's laying down.

"So, he wasn't always like this. In primary school he was pretty normal. One of the nicest kids in class. He would always help everyone with their homework even if he didn't even know what he was doing and he would always play with everyone. He would even bring gum to class and would share with everyone."

Damn, I wouldn't even bring out the pack of gum in the middle of class. He really was nice.

"But then all of a sudden, after fifth grade, he just switched. He would sit by himself all the time, He didn't talk to anybody and he always had his head down. He even stopped talking to Jake."

Angelica's eyes went a little wide as she heard Jake being mentioned.

"Jake?"

"Yes. Jake and him were always together. Since Kindergarten. You wouldn't see Jake anywhere Sunghoon wasn't at, and vice versa. That's why it was shocking." Olivia answered as she nodded her head lazily.

Yu Ahn continued, "Anyways. It was all fine, until sixth grade. Don't tell Trenton I told you this, he gets embarrassed. But Trenton approached Sunghoon during lunch, trying to be friends with him, but suddenly Sunghoon beat him up so bad, he spent seven months in the hospital. He almost died." 

Angelica let out a gasp and grimaced as she heard the last statement.

Sunghoon almost killed Trenton in sixth grade.

It's hard to believe that the person who was in love with sweets, was scared of loud sounds and clown masks, would of beat Trenton up just because he approached him. Sunghoon probably had his reason to throw punches. He wouldn't have done it for just shits and giggles. There was no way he just did it for no reason.

Just judging by the amount of time I've known Trenton, he's an asshole and annoying. I've been wanting to beat his ass up too.

"Is that why you guys don't like him?" 

"Yeah, pretty much. And two other things-"

"But yeah, that's it." Yu Ahn interrupted Olivia as she waved her off.

Angelica noticed the odd change in their tone but dismissed it.

"What did Trenton say to him?"

"We don't know. We were on the other side of the cafeteria. We only saw Sunghoon plummet him."

Angelica hummed as a response and looked down at the chips in her hand in thought. 

There was so many things that she still needed to find out. Like the reason he decided to call himself dangerous and distance himself from her.

What is this? Coraline? Having to find the three eyes of the children?
