HIM IN MY BED [Jakehoon Or Is It....?]

CHAPTER 17

"I'll see u at school tomorrow then yea?" I utter cheerfully to Sunghoon, met with a cold silence as his eyes remain to the swaying window wipers - the joy from the magic in the rain has disappeared; vanished. He mumbles in return, an emptiness in his reply. I place a soft peck on his lips n slowly exit the car, entering into the streaming rain - his eyes still not connecting with mine; not even once.

As I slam the door, the car speeds off into the distance, my eyes following it until they can't.

Did I do something wrong?

"Heyyy! The man's back! Who took u home last night huh?" Jay yells at me as I enter through the door; the house in immaculate, perfect condition - thank God. His smiles beams as he looks over the couch, his vibrant eyes staring me up n down. "Who's the lucky gal?"

"N that friend gave u fat hickeys?" He chuckles as the blood slowly drains from my face. I turn around, my eyes gaping into the mirror - purpley, brownish spots on the neck n collarbone. Jay's laugh follows me as I run upstairs, attempting to leave the embarrassment of my brother's torment in the lounge.

My back slides slowly down my bedroom door, exhaling as I finally settle in my room n decompress - my mind reminiscing over the rollercoaster weekend.

Sunghoon did it with me....he chose me over Wonyoung, n, he held me in the rain. He kissed me. If the world were to end rn.....I'd be perfectly contempt.

For once, I'm kind of excited to go to school tomorrow.

*************

I groan internally as I navigate through the sea of ppl - exhaling as I finally reach my locker. A pair of strong hands clasp onto my back as I pull my science books out, exhilarating my heartbeat as I turn around - a loud, audible squeal following me. Hee's grin beams as he bends over n clutches his stomach - his chuckle radiating through the hallway.

"Broooo I haven't seen u in forever. Especially since u don't come to school hahahahahaha!" He announces enthusiastically as he leans in, meeting my handshake with his fist bump.

"Yea. It's been awhile. But I'm back." He slings his arm around my shoulder, walking me to class as we both prepare for the borefest of science class - the crowd separating for us. Small talk entertains our lips as we sit through an hour of atomic theory - his cheeks blushing as he talks about the weekend with his girlfriend.

"What bout u? Got ya eye on anyone?" He prods my arm, teasing along the Convo; ducking as the teacher directs her pointed glare towards us.

"Just this person. We r kind of together over the weekend....n....stuff happened...." He gasps n rolls giddily in his chair as I carry on. "But, I called them last night n they didn't pick up....n they didn't reply to my texts so idk what's happening." The tone dampens as I confess my anxiety. One night we're parading around town, watching movies n hanging out at the park, n now...I can't even get a text back.

"I hate to admit it bro buttttt.....u got played. It sounds like ur only around to keep the bed warm at night." He chuckles loudly, drawing the attention of the teacher - forcing our convo to quiet down. His gossip continues, falling dead to my ears as I feel tiny segments of my heart chipping away.

Surely Sunghoon wouldn't do that to me. I mean, he's the one who kissed me n dominated. Or do I just want to think that? My fingers trail up to my collarbone, tingling as a burning sensation shoots through my body. My mind flashes back to the rain - his lips smashing against mine; our bodies harmonizing - an eternal hunger emitted from both of us.

My reminiscing is disrupted by the ringing of the bell. Stupid bell.

"Fuck I'm starving. Ready to get a feed?" Hee says as we swiftly pack up our books. I agree n follow him to the cafeteria.
