LOVE LANGUAGE: EN- BOOK 1: SUNGHOON

E

Sunghoon POV

"Sunghoon-ah! Come straight home so we can pack your bag" mom shouts as I leave and I give her a thumbs up. Today would be my last day of school for a few days, I leave tonight. Haime texted me that she won't be seeing me off later.

Still nothing from Sanbin. I'm sure he's heard the dumb rumor going around saying I'm leaving the school for ice skating. Maybe that'll get him to talk to me, before I leave. I lay my head on the steering wheel and breathe slowly before driving.

~~~~~

I've never been more perplexed in my life. When I got to my locker there tons of gifts in front of it. A bunch of 'come back soon, oppa' and 'we'll miss you, Sunghoon' I rolled my eyes and moved the gifts over neatly to get my books. I hear a bunch of gasps as I walk to home room.

These people really take rumors seriously. Who even started it?

I know there has got to be someone smart enough to not to buy in it.

~~~~~

I was wrong at lunch the gift stack got bigger.

I wonder if it's wrong to accept these gifts?

I grab my lunch and eat in the classroom. Sanbin still hasn't said anything to me today. I haven't even seen him outside of class today.

Is he that upset with me?

I haven't seen Hyunjoo either, thankfully.

Haime POV

"Can I get your number now?" I look at Keeho and shake my head. "What do you need it for?" I ask him. "Aren't we at least acquaintances?" He asks. "I guess you're right" I take his phone and put my number in it "no spam texting or I'll block you" he nods obediently.

"Where did you want to go, later?" He ask and I shrug. "We could go to the star museum?" He says. "Okay" I say. "Wait! You're into that stuff?" I nod. "Why is there an issue?!" I buck at him. "No! No, there's not an issue. It's just something new I learned about you. That's all"

He's so adorable.

I try not to smile. "When are you going to make friends?" He shrugs. "I kind of like hanging with you" I smack him. "Ow! I don't know. I talk to people but it doesn't stick, like we do" he smiles at me and I almost smile back but I hit him again. He rubs his chest in pain.

"We don't stick. I'm just really nice" he smirks at me. "Yes, Blue is the nicest, non-abusive girl in the world. Oh, how lucky am I to be graced with Blue's presence" "it's"- I catch myself. "We're you about to tell me your name?" I shake my head "yes you were!" He claps his hands excitedly.

"You're getting comfortable with me!" I shush him. "You're really annoying!" He calms down. "Who was the guy you were with earlier? He's popular right? He is you're boyfriend?" I put my hand up to hit him but he dodged. "That's not my boyfriend, he's my friend since grade school and he's a international ice skater"

I glare at him and he smiles. "So you're single, do you like him?" I shake my head vigorously and he mumbled something. "What did you say?" I raise my brows at him. "Nothing. I just coughed" he says coughing again as the bell rings.

After school

Sunghoon POV

I was wrong even the fake rumors didn't alert Sanbin and now I have to take home all these going away gifts to be nice. Of course there were too many so I have to make 2 trips. I head back to my locker to pick up the rest of the gifts but someone's blocking my locker.

"Yah! Why are you by my locker?!"  The guy turns around and it's Sanbin, I stop walking.

Is that really Sanbin?

I walk closer to make sure I'm not mistaken and surely it's him. I stop in front of him but not to close afraid he'll run away. "Sanbin, I'm"- to my surprise he closes the gap and hugs me. "Hyung, I'm sorry" he cries making me cry. "Sanbin, I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be happy, you looked so happy" I tell him through my tears.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I'm sorry that I didn't realize it sooner that you were uncomfortable and I kept inviting her" he sniffs. "I didn't want you to know. I'm a good actor aren't I?" I say and he pushes me softly. "No! You're so dumb. Why would hide something so horrid from us? Aren't we friends?" Then I push him.

"We're best friends" we both laugh before hugging each other. We clean ourselves up and he helps me carry the rest of the gifts to my car. "Aish! We made Haime pretty mad and now we've just made up" I say. "When you come back we can explain" Sanbin says and closes my door.

"Hopefully I'll come back with my girlfriend" I say and he smiles. "Wah! Are you guys together?" Sanbin asks excitedly. "Not yet" he pushes me. "You liar" I get in my car and roll down my window.

"Will you see me and my mom off?" I ask and he sighs. "Sure" he gets in the car and rolls the window up. "I'm glad you stopped ignoring me" I tell him and he smiles. "Me too"

Angel POV

"Hey, unnie" I answer my phone as my dad and I entered my apartment. "Hey, Angel" she sounds a bit off. "Is everything okay?" I look at my dad and he frowns. "About the apartment. I can't get my dads people to sign off on anything. I'm sorry" she says and my heart drops.

"It's okay. I'll think of something, thanks anyway Unnie" "of course" she hangs up. "What happened, Honey?" Dad asks me. "I can't get my apartment approved" I plop on the couch in defeat. "And Ive waited so long for that place, dad" I try and hold back my tears but it doesn't work.
