The Boy Next Door

18.

Chaewon's POV:

I run into the bakery just to get something to eat for these idiots. Why do I even bother for these guys? Like they just kidnapped me. What is my boyfriend gonna think?

I pick up some different types of bread and a pizza bread for Heeseung because that's his favorite. It's so difficult, not being to act normal around him. 

I so badly, wanted to ask why he drank. I've only seen him drink once and that was a really traumatic time. Was he crying because of me? Of us? No.. Why would he? He doesn't care. 

I run to the car to see Sunghoon, Jay and Jake giggling while watching something on their phone. I stare at Heeseung and see he's flustered and bright red now.

As Sunghoon lays eyes on me, I see he quickly turns the phone off and leans back in his seat pretending like nothing happened.

"Why were you laughing?" I ask while getting back into the car. I see them trying to look away from me and holding in their laugh.

"Nothing.." Jay says while holding in his laugh.

"Uhm okay. Take it. I found it on the way here." I say while handing them the hot and fresh bread. 

"Eat it and feel better." I say while smiling. I watch as they watch me with their adoring eyes making me blush. 

"I literally love you Chaewon." Jake says while trying to give me side hug while I decline it. I would normally, jokingly say I love you too back but this is probably why my boyfriend doesn't trust me. 

As we get to campus they walk along side me, making me feel somewhat protected from any of the creepy sunbae's. No offense. 

"Chaewon noona!!" someone in the halls say while running up to me. I have my hands full with bags and bread so I quickly look up to see someone I was definitely not expecting. 

"Woah woah, who are you?" Jake says while putting his arm out in front of me while his normally squeaky voice goes two octaves lower. 

"Chill, he's my cousin." I say while pushing Jake's arm aside and giving him a big hug.

"When did you come back from studying in Germany?" I ask while squeezing his body in a tight hug. Has this boy gotten taller over a couple months or is it just me?

"Two weeks ago! Noona, I'm joining your university in a week!! They accepted me!!" he says happily while smiling.

"Good job my boy!!" I say happily while giving him a high five.

"Ah wait. I haven't introduced myself to my future sunbae's!! Hi! My name is Minjun! I am Chaewon noona's cousin." he says while bowing.

"Oh hi. Sorry for the bad impression. I'm Jake, and this is Heeseung, Jay, and Sunghoon." Jake says while smiling with a golden look on his face.

"No worries! See you later noona! I'm coming over for dinner later. Mom is making me see all her professor colleagues at this university so I'm fucking busy." he says making me hit his head with my hand.

"Don't curse Minjun-ah! And see you later." I say while waving to him. I don't bother turning back to the four idiots following me around, and head to class since we're kinda late. 

"Hi Jake! Please accept this gift from my heart!" I over hear a girl voice from behind me say loudly. Ofc since I'm a nosey bitch I turn around to see what's going on.

I see a group of girls in front of Jake with their faces being bright red. I watch as he puts his flirty ass face on and leans into her. 

"Oh? Thanks beautiful. What is it?" he says while observing the box.

"Candy and a teddy bear!!" a girl says while trying to hide her big smile. 

"Wow I'm impressed. Another girl?" Jay whispers to me from beside me.

"Are you guys like magnets to girls?" I say while laughing to Jay. 

"Just watch the drama." Jay says while adjusting my chin to face Jake and the girls. I jump up inside due to the sudden touch. 

"Thanks for the gift beautiful but I don't need it. Chaewon catch." he says while throwing the gift to me. 

"W-What? But it's for you..." the girl says making me feel bad. 

"Thanks for it sweetheart." Jake says while putting a kiss on her cheek. Wow he's a real charmer -_-

"My Chaewon will enjoy the gift, won't she?" he says while looking back at me. I watch as the girls give me dirty looks and the one who confessed looks like she's on the verge of tears.

"Uhm no? Accept the gift from a pretty girl like her. This is why you don't have long term relationships because of your flirty ass." I say while throwing the gift right back at him while walking away.

"Damn homeboy you just got demolished by Chaewon." I hear Sunghoon's voice from behind me.

I head to class and give the leftover bread I bought from the bakery to my professor. I sit next to Jiwoo and I notice she's being distant with me again. 

"Jiwoo what's wrong? Your being so distant with me." I say while trying to get a good look at her face.

"Nothing. Maybe your the one too busy flirting with all the boys." she says with a dirty look on her face. 

"Jiwoo what's wrong with you? Your so snappy nowadays and you left me at the bar for Hyunwoo sunbae to take me. You know how much I hate him but you did that." I explain. 

"Chaewon, not everything is about you. All you ever talk about is your drama, and your life. Where's the me in our friendship?" she says making me realize maybe she's right.

"I'm so sorry Jiwoo. I didn't think about that, I really didn't mean to make you feel that way. I was just overloaded with life so I needed someone to talk to-" I say before she cuts me off.

"Again. Chaewon you have the perfect fucking life. All the boys drool over you, your rich, pretty, smart, and you have the perfect family. There's nothing for you to complain about." she says before sighing and walking away. 

"Jiwoo please. I can't loose you too." I say while holding her wrist. 

"Leave me alone Chaewon. And it's your fault for losing your friends." she says before finding another seat away from me.

She's right. No wonder Heeseung has been ignoring me. I'm just a burden to everyone. 

Why does everyone think I'm so flirty with boys? I couldn't care about them any less. Maybe this is what my boyfriend thinks too.
