47 : Her Engagement

"We have to go. Your mother gave me orders to send you home right away today." Aerin's bodyguard stepped towards her as she was packing her lockers.

"Can't I at least say goodbye to my friends? It's my last day since I will be skipping graduation. Can't you be lenient for once?" Aerin didn't even bother to look at him. She sighed and slammed the locker doors when he kept quiet.

"What did I expect" she walked out of class when she suddenly heard multiple footsteps running towards her. Jeno looked horrid, as if he had just heard terrible news. He was panting, eyes watery. Has he been running around trying to find her? Behind him were the guys, faces relieved as soon as they saw her.

"Aerin" he pulled her into a hug. "I fucking miss you" he caressed her head, pulling into a tight embrace. His embrace was shaky but tight.

'Just what made him like this?' "J-Jeno" Aerin caught off guard.

"Hands off her! All of you, step away!" her bodyguard tried grabbing onto him but the dreamies clung onto him, stopping him from ruining the moment.

 Aerin studied their faces and Jeno's sudden embrace.

"What's wrong? Are you out of your mind? My parents will kill you when they know you went against their orders" she held his shoulders.

"No, let me hug you. I have nothing else to lose...please. Let me hug you for the last time" she swore she felt tears on her shoulders. 

"For the last time? Jeno, what are you talking about?" she pulled away, cupping his cheeks.

"I can't tell you anything..but I assure you, everything will be over soon. Just hang on for a little while more" he cupped her cheeks, showing a loving but sad look.

"Hands off me!" her bodyguard yelled as started punching the dreamies off him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?! Stop it!" she tried stopping her bodyguard from hurting them any further.

"Guys, leave him" Jeno ordered and the dreamies immediately retreated, looking at Jeno worriedly. Her bodyguard suddenly went up to Jeno and punched him in the face.

"Get away from him! We're leaving, so stop hurting my friends, asshole" she pulled him away, dragging him towards the school entrance. She looked behind and saw Jeno's heartbroken and defeated face.

'What on earth is going on?'

"Wash up and get dressed. We're going out for dinner" Mom told Aerin as soon as she entered the house. She was busy buttoning up her sleeves and adjusting her skirt.

"I'm not going" Aerin ignored her presence and walked towards her room.

"Excuse me?" her mom's tone was strict. She glared at Aerin, hands still on the buttons.

"You heard me. I have tons of other stuff to do than attend your bloody business dinner that has nothing to do with me" she replied tiredly, mind a mess since she was still thinking about Jeno and the Dreamies.

"Oh this dinner has got to do with you. Doll yourself up or I will drag you up and dress you myself. We are going to be late if you're just going to stand there and rebel like an idiot" mom said as she turned back to the mirror and fixed herself.

Aerin clenched her fist as she walked up the stairs. Reluctantly, she did everything that she was told.

"It's just another stupid fancy dinner and fake compliments. Why the fuck has it got to do with me?" she cursed to herself, grabbing onto the black dress that was sitting on her bed, waiting for her.
