LEGACY || Jungwon x Engene

Green

"Hi, Green."

"Hey! Green!"

"What's up, Green?"

"Green, come here!"

Is what I hear everyday of the week, like a broken record.

"What?" I answer, never endingly.

Because we go to the same clubs we're friends? Does he want to nourish that rumor so badly?

And Colin who keeps pestering me with it.

I'll never forgive this Yang idiot for humiliating me like this and ruining my life!

"Why are you so cold to me all the time?" he says during one of our clubs.

"How dare you ask me that?"

"Is it because I call you Green?"

"Wh-? No! It's because you turned me to ridicule by telling everyone I was crying over your brother at his graduation party!"

"That's a stupid reason. No one cares about that."

"I do."

"How futile."

"You can stop talking to me now."

"You're so mean."

I felt like I was rightfully cold to this jerk, without being too much of a bitch. But apparently, he took it very badly, because I ended up in the principal's office.

For the first time in my entire life.

"Miss Engene. I don't see you in this office often. You can imagine what a surprise it was to receive a complaint against you."

"A- a complaint?" I stutter.

I replay everything I ever said to anyone at school, but can't imagine why one would ever deliver a complaint.

"A certain Yang Jungwon."
I become red.
"He said you've been unjustifiably unpleasant to him. I wasn't happy to hear this, you can imagine, as he is a first year, and you are a third year."

I feel the rage build up to my head. But I know it's not the moment to burst out thoughtlessly.

He puts in a complaint? I'm gonna double that shit.

"What is this?!"

Jungwon pins down a sheet of paper on my desk at the beginning of math club.

"Ouuh, disciplinary measures. This seems serious."

"This is your fault."

"Pardon!?" Shit, too loud again. He even took a step back.
"I ended up at the principal's office for the first time in my academic career because of your petty complaint.
You asked for it."

He stares at me. For once, he isn't laughing.

He gets around the desks to come sit right beside me.

"I see you're not joking about your academic credibility, so I guess I should be careful not to bother it anymore."
I smile, satisfied.
"But you need to pay for this," he says, brandishing the sheet of paper.
"I'll be sure to return the favor, Green."

I shrug. What can his first year ass do against me that he hasn't done already anyway?

Regardless, I thought this run-in would give him cold feet, but he is as clingy as ever...
