The Boy Next Door

8.

"Why do you guys always talk shit about my boyfriend? It's concerning." I say.

"Everyone can tell he is a big red flag. Girl you deserve better then a dude who stood you up on a date on your 100th day." Namjin says making me think about it. 

"Yea but he said he was bus-" I get cut off by Heeseung. 

"And on your birthday he bought you a ugly ass shirt that doesn't even fit you." Heeseung adds. 

"Heeseung honestly knowing you and girls, I bet you bought something even worse." Sunghoon says making me tilt my head because I know what's coming.

"I don't think you want to say that..." I say while looking anywhere else but at him. 

"What? Me and girls? Rude as fuck, I want you to know I have a great sense of taste!" Heeseung screams. 

"Then what did you get her, Mr. great taste?" Jay adds making Namjin laugh as well. 

"He got me a $100,000 dollar diamond bracelet from Chanel guys... So please don't." I say making the air awkward and tense. 

I feel everyone run silent and the tension in the air is suffocating. I look to see everyone's face run pale except Heeseung, who looks proud. 

"Uhm. Oh wow. Heeseung. I am terribly sorry." Jay says with more manner now.

"Uhm Heeseung I apologize for my behavior." Sunghoon says making me laugh out loud. The tension in the air doesn't go away but I try to ease the awkwardness.

"$100,000 DOLLARS?? WHAT THE FUCK BRO?? DIAMOND BRACELET??" Namjin screams from beside me making me plug my ears for a second. 

"Here I'm wearing it." I say while showing it. Everyone examines the bracelet and carefully touches my arm to look at the sparkling diamonds. 

"What did queen Chaewon do to deserve this?? I'm curious. Cause you got me shoes for my birthday." Jay says while acting shocked. 

"You wouldn't get it. She's been here for me for 13 years. You don't know how much that means to me when no one else was. And the shoes I bought you, were picked by the one and only, Chaewon." he says while chuckling but he only made the air even more suffocating then before. 

"So your rich rich??" Namjin says while looking at Heeseung, concerned. 

"Ok ok why don't we talk about something else? This is suffocating." I say. 

"I'm so tired it's literally painful. Maybe I should have stayed home yesterday." I complain while laying my head on the table. 

"Then sleep." Heeseung says. 

"Shut up, are you a idiot? You know we have class." I say while groaning at the thought of my bed. 

"Woah feisty." I hear Jay say while chuckling. 

"Shut the fuck up Jay." I say angerly while lifting my head off the table. 

"Woah woah Chaewon. Didn't you mom ever tell you to be nice to people?" Namjin says. 

"No, my mom was too busy adoring Heeseung as her second child." I say while laughing. 

"So you two basically grew up together?" Jake asks. 

"Yea. We're basically like siblings." Heeseung replies. I doze off as everyone starts talking and shit. Hopefully out of loyalty, someone will wake me up.

"ChaeChae. Wake up." I hear a voice in my dream say. This dream feels so vivid but at the same time I'm confusing it with reality. 

"No. I want to sleep more." I say to the teddy bear talking to me in my dream. He looks a lot like someone I know. 

"Come on we have class." I hear the teddy bear say in a louder tone. I pout and shake my head in this dream. 

"Your gonna have to carry me to class, teddy. I'm sleeping more." I say to the cute teddy bear in my dream. 

I feel my eyes blink in my dream and all of a sudden I'm being picked up by someone. I scream and hold onto them when I realize I'm high off the ground. 

"Heeseung?" I say while calming down a bit since I know I'm not being kidnapped. 

"What the hell are you doing??" I ask while putting my arms around his neck to not fall and faceplant the floor. 

"You told me to carry you." he says shortly. 

"Well I thought I was dreaming but I guess I wasn't. Sorry! You can put me down now." I say squirming in his tight grip. 

"It's fine. And stop moving your wearing a skirt, and there's so many people in the halls." Heeseung says while adjusting the jacket that has been laid on my legs. I stop moving and allow him to carry me since I have to walk with my tall ass heels if I get down. 

"Whaaa! Look!!" "Heeseung and Chaewon I think!!" "He's so hot please!!" "What are they doing??"

I hear everyone whisper and mutter things in the halls as we walk to our class. I lower my head in embarrassment. 

"Thanks." I say to him as I get down and almost trip due to the weight on my feet. I somehow make it to my seat next to Jiwoo who is oddly texting someone and she doesn't even notice I'm here. 

"Hi bitch." I say while sitting down. 

"Ah! Oh my fucking god you scared me." Jiwoo says while looking oddly nervous. I tilt my head and laugh to ease the situation. 

"Sorry. Who were you texting that you didn't even notice me?" I ask jokingly. 

"U-Uh no one..." she says nervously. 

"Comeee onn tell me! Is it a boy? Are you dating someone!?" I ask a little too loud. 

"No no no. Well maybe... I don't know... It's complicated. He's super hot and perfect but it's a tough situation." she says shortly after making me squeal in shock. 

"Yay!!! We can go on double dates now!!" I say happily while adjusting my books. 

"Sure..." she says quietly.

Our lecture starts and the rest of the day in school is boring, as always. Me and Heeseung head home and he says he has plans making me suspicious of him dating someone. 

If there was a sport for being a player, he would be Usain Bolt. He gets girls so easily and gets them wrapped around his finger with ease. I stay out of his dating life but sometimes I wonder what he has that makes girls go feral for him. 

I get home and my parents aren't home. Their probably at work or doing something related to work. I honestly, respect them so much for having enough time to take care of me and make money. 

I walk around the house scrolling through tiktok, instagram and basically any app. I hear the bell ring and give myself a heart attack since I'm not expecting anyone. 

I walk to the door and look through the window to unexpectedly see Minwoo. I happily open the door but he seems cold, mad almost. 

"Hi babe!" I say happily.

"What's this?" he asks making me freeze up.
