🔞I May be Falling in Love // Hwang Hyunjin🔞

🖤Chapter 2🖤

My tired eyes pop open as my irritating alarm creates ringing waves in my ear. I hesitate throwing my phone at the wall and eventually get out of bed. I rub my swollen eyes as I make my way to the kitchen, struggling to keep my balance. I come to a halt in the kitchen doorway to see Cole dancing in his boxers, holding a frying pan in one hand, a spatula in the other, and headphones in both ears. I'm not going to lie, Cole is very attractive with a perfect face and perfectly proportioned muscular body but I could never see him like that. I can't help but laugh, and he continues to dance as if he's the only one in the world. I give up trying to get his attention and walk up to him, startling him with a gentle pat on the shoulder.

"Fucking hell!" "You scared the shit out of me," he exclaims, turning to face me. Cole takes a breather as he carefully places the frying pan and spatula down. I laugh again before walking into his room to get him a clean shirt and pants.

"Thank you; I had completely forgotten I was wearing underwear." He winks at me, prompting me to roll my eyes and hand him the clothes.

"I'll handle the food; you go get dressed." I say, and he obeys, leaving me with burnt bacon and eggs crisping in the pan.

After an hour, we are both dressed and ready for work. "I'm driving." I shout as if he can't already hear me.

"You are not. Unless I want to die sooner, that is." He cracks a joke before climbing into the driver's seat. I'm not a very good driver, but Cole's car is very safe to drive, even for me. I've driven his car twice now, and each time I get the impression that he's secretly writing out his will.

We sit in silence for the majority of the drive, and as we approach the teachers' parking lot, Cole turns his head towards me and whispers, "Good luck."

I'm not sure what he meant until I get out of the car and walk towards the office, where I see a tall, handsome man with his hands in his pockets waiting for me. I approach the man, where his visuals are now visible. He has gorgeous shoulder-length blonde hair and golden brown eyes that shine through a glass of whisky in the afternoon sun. He was not only stunning, but he also made me envious; he has the clear pale skin of an angel, a perfectly defined jawline, and beautiful plump pink lips that are so kissable.

"I'm Harley Summers, and you must be Audrey Scarlet. Nice to meet you." The attractive gentleman speaks as he extends one hand for a handshake.

"N-nice to meet you, Mr Su-summers," I mumble as I shake his hand. 'Oh shit, I'm blushing like crazy,' I think to myself. I've been staring at Harley for far too long.

"Uhh. Miss Scarlet?" Harley calls out my name, and I realise I'm still shaking his hand.

"I'm sorry," I say, trying to laugh it off.

He raises the corner of his mouth into a soft smirk, sending butterflies straight into my stomach. 'What is he doing to me?'

Cole, who is awkwardly standing behind me, appears to be angry. Is he jealous?

"Well, I'll leave you guys to it," Cole says as he walks away, looking down at the ground.

"What's the deal with him?" Harley questioned, pointing his index finger at him. His hands had small tattoos that guided his veins, making them stand out more than they would naturally, and I'm practically drooling at this point. His features were appealing, but so was his sense of style. He was dressed in a dark navy suit with a trendy chequered patterned blouse underneath.

"I'm not sure." He's clearly upset. I didn't think he'd be jealous if I spoke to anyone. I have guy friends I used to hang around all the time and I've had boyfriends before, but he never acted like this. I decided to ignore it and follow Harley to the general study building for Math and English classes. This is the same building where Finn works. Harley comes to a halt as he makes direct eye contact with Finn, who is walking in our direction. Finn has tattoos covering ninety-five percent of his body, he's wearing heavy black makeup, and his hair is dyed black. He used to have a few tattoos on his neck and torso, soft caramel brown hair, and he never wore makeup. How is he permitted to work at a school while appearing to be a member of a punk emo band?

"Hello, beautiful." Finn winks as he walks by, not saying anything to Harley. I wave at Finn and look at Harley who seems angry. His fists were clenched and his face stiffened as if he was forcing his mouth shut.

"Do you two have something going on?" He asks with a little aggression behind his voice.

"No... He's Cole's brother, and he's always flirtatious."

"Okay, that's fine. Simply avoid him; he's bad news." Harley's voice returns to its normal tone.

"What exactly do you mean? I've known him my entire life, and he's nothing to be afraid of." I defend trying to get Harley to break loose.

"Finn destroyed my life." He mumbles quickly and quietly to himself.

I decided it was best not to ask questions, so I continued to follow Harley until we reached an empty classroom that was hidden from the rest of the students. He walks over to the teacher's desk and opens what I assume is his laptop.

"You'll be with me today. I teach the class normally, and you take notes and assist the students. If you're really good, I'll give you my next class." Harley speaks up and gives me that same handsome grin he did before. 'Oh my God, he's so hot.' My mind prompts me.

He pulls out a chair beside his desk and motions for me to join him; at this point, I can't even look at him because it's killing me.

We hear the bell ring, and he says, "Wait here," as he rises from his seat and walks to the classroom door to let the students in. Many students rushed in, increasing the volume with each one as they raced to their seats. Because of how young they all appear, I'm guessing they're in their first year of high school, which is why Harley is teaching them. Harley returns to his desk and winks at me before beginning the class.

This is going to be a great day.
