ACT ONE
another year, another hell. y/n thought to herself. she never liked going to school, especially now that she's reached her senior year in high school. on the bright side, it was her last year. but she had second thoughts about it all.
her phone buzzed, snapping her out of her internal thoughts. she took her phone out of her pocket and smiled to see a message from her best friend, jungwon.
JUNGWON BAEE
OMG WYA ITS BEEN 5 MINUTES
UGLY Y/N
jungwon. 5 minutes🤨
JUNGWON BAEE
SHUT UP AND GET HERE ALREADY
I CANT HANDLE SUNOOS BITCHING ANYMORE
she laughed to herself and put her phone back in her pocket. sunoo bitching about whatever. no surprise to either of them, but it was always to jungwon. y/n was free from it all. she loved sunoo though, he always brightened up her day.
"sicheng!" she called to her brother, walking downstairs and putting on her backpack. "i gotta go to school."
sicheng looked over to her from the fridge and smiled. "have a nice day in the hell hole."
"yeah, yeah, college graduate. cya." she rolled her eyes playfully and shook her head. to her surprise, she saw a nice black car waiting for her in front of her house. she was confused, not able to clearly see who the person was because the windows were rolled up. slowly walking up toward the car, she took a sigh of relief to see that the person in the car was jungwon and sunoo in the backseat.
"come on!" he smiled a very bright smile. "we're gonna be late if you don't hurry up!"
"yah, i didn't even know you going were coming to pick me up." she smiled at the corner of her mouth and opened up the door to the passenger seat. before she could even put her seatbelt on, jungwon stepped on the gas, causing y/n to widen her eyes as her body jolted forwards.
"yang jungwon!" she shouted, her face red with embarrassment. sunoo and jungwon just laughed. sunoo, on the other hand, was crying from laughter. "its not that funny, sunoo!"
he wiped the tears coming from his eyes and almost wheezed. "b-but the way y-you-" he stammered in between breaths and threw his head back, laughing harder than ever.
"oh my god. look what you've done, jungwon." y/n crossed her arms and jungwon just smiled, keeping his eyes on the road. "not my problem, is it?"
for some odd reason, in this moment, y/n caught herself staring at jungwon as he drove. he looked somewhat attractive as his calm face stared at the road in front of him, not making a single sound. there's no one sunoo would notice her staring, for he was still trying to calm himself down in the backseat.
"well? do i have something on my face or what?" jungwon grinned and turned his head toward y/n. "wh-what?" she stammered.
ain't no way you just did that. was the first thought that came to her mind when she realized she stuttered.
"nothing, sweetheart. now get out of my car. you too, sunoo." he smiled and looked behind him. sunoo was finally calmed down, but he still had tears in his eyes and a huge smile on his face. he opened his door and dashed out of the car, immediately going to one of his hyungs, sunghoon.
y/n slowly got out of jungwons car, that same word repeating in her head. sweetheart? what the hell?
jungwon was quick to run to your side, adjusting his backpack on his shoulders and putting his hand on her shoulder. y/n turned her head and cringed a bit. "what do you-"
"you're it!" jungwon stuck his tongue out and ran toward the entrance of the school. "what?! yang jungwon!" she shouted and ran after him.
jungwon pushed through the doors and ran through the crowds of people. y/n huffed and shoved her way through with an excuse me here and there. jungwon sprinted around a corner and y/n quickly caught up with him, turning to see him. but he wasn't anywhere in sight. "huh?' he looked all around her, but couldn't see him anywhere. "what the-"
"RAH!" a loud voice shouted behind her, a pair of hands shaking her shoulders. y/n flinched and immediately turned her head to see jungwon laughing harder than sunoo was.
"yah! jungwon!"
"oh my god!" he held his stomach and roared with laughter. "your face!"
"it wasn't funny!" she objected and stomped her foot. jungwon slid down the wall, causing y/n to huff and cross her arms.
"whats so funny this time?" a familiar voice spoke from behind y/n. she turned to see the one and only jay standing with a grin on his face. y/n gasped. "jay!" she threw her arms up and hugged him tightly.
he chuckled. "hello to you too, y/n." she giggled in his shoulder, slowly pulling away from the hug. "what are you doing here? i thought you were moving with.. sihyeon." she scoffed at the thought of her. that fucking snake.
"oh, her? pfft, shes long gone. she was horrible." jay shook his head. y/ns eyes lit up. nothing could've made her first day better than this.
"really?" she asked and jay nodded. "yeah. really."
y/n, before sihyeon came along, had the biggest crush on jay. she never got to tell him, but she did get to tell sihyeon. sihyeon was her best friend at the time, so she thought she could trust her. but no. about a week later, jay came up to y/n with the biggest smile on his face. she asked him why he was so happy and he told her that sihyeon had asked him out. her heart sank. sihyeon knew. but she went behind her back to make jay fall in love with her. but now shes gone.
do i have a chance? y/n thought to herself. or will i never be as good of a girlfriend as sihyeon supposedly was?
