Part Of Him | Park Seonghwa

Chapter 1

"Stop mopping around, can you?" Charlotte tilted her head waiting for my response. Her both hands on her hips. I open my mouth to say something, but it's void of sound. She sighed giving me a reassuring smile. She give me a side hug, which I notice she and Dorothy always does, "I'm sure, there's a perfect reason for that." With a comforting squeeze on my shoulder, Charlotte let go of me, telling Dorothy to stay with me as she left somewhere.

We're now on the place for our field trip. It's a forest? There's plenty of trees, but also a wide space. It's breezy, the weather is fine, it suits well with the vibe of this place. I found comfort from it. I felt a tap on my right shoulder and found Dorothy smiling at me. Her closed hand stretch out to me. She give me a curt nod, and I open my hand to receive whatever is on her hand. She lowered it to my palm, and slowly release. I looked at it, and my heart felt light.

I grasped on it and chuckle, before hugging her. "Thank you." I muttered to her before pulling away. It's three pieces of chocolate candy, and put it on my pocket. She sweetly smiled at me and nod.

"No problem. I know how you must've felt right now." She sympathy, showing how much of a kind person she is. She deserves all the good things. The wind blows, making few strands of her hair flew to her face. Making her prettier than she already was. She's full of colour, unlike Charlotte who seems to be succumbed in darkness.

She's wearing a boots, paired with brown cargo pants, white crop top and beige cardigan. Her hair down, effortlessly pretty.

"I'm back." Charlotte announced, she's carrying two eco bags. Looking at her, also brings comfort to me, and by just thinking how diverse the two of them, make me want to laugh. She's wearing a boots, paired with black jogger pants, white tee, with black varsity jacket. She have bangs and her hair is styled in a low bun. She's gorgeous. "Go get these." She handed it to us.

I peek inside and saw a canvass with painting set? I looked at her with parted lips. Just curious as Dorothy. Charlotte giggle to our reaction, putting her hands inside her pockets.  "I heard Jiyoon will buy one, so I asked to buy extra two sets for two of you." Jiyoon is my and Dorothy's classmate, I don't wonder how she knew her, because knowing Charlotte, she's literally friends with everyone.

"Thank you!" We launch at her, giving her the tight hug we could ever give earning a laugh from her.

"Okay-okay, chill no need to suffocate me."

"Everyone!" The president called. "Listen here, there are cabins, you see," he points the cabins on the right part 30 meters away from where we are. "There are four beds each cabin, and y'all are free to choose anyone you want to be with." He declared. Everybody likes the idea, I mean who would not?

"Can we choose anyone? What if it's a girl?" One of the guy from different class asked. We all looked at the SSG officers in front us. Our vice-president narrow his eyes playfully at the person who asked the question, with accusing pointing index finger.

"Well.. we can't risk the chance of everyone here to graduate late, so no."  He shook his  head firmly. "We're advice to separate girls from boys." After what our vice-president told us, disappointment groan echoes around the place. Which made them chuckle.

Charlotte and Dorothy laugh at the reaction, while I was in disbelief. I can't believe them. When I looked back in front, I saw Seonghwa looking at me, or so I think. Ever since we meet, and know each other, my heart would flutter on its own, everytime we made eye contact. I tend to ignore that feeling, as I'm sure to myself, I don't like him, and maybe because we're friends, not the closest but we're close enough. I just can't help to wonder sometimes. Maybe because I found him attractive. 

I smiled, not really knowing what to do, but then, he returned the smile which made me smile wider, that turns into a small chuckle. Wait —what am I even thinking.

I won't deny I'm fond of him. He's a sweet person too, he have fun personality. Admiring from a far, you could say he's perfectly sculpted. A nudge from my side take me away from my trance, and turn my head to meet Charlotte's judging eyes, and Dorothy's curious ones. Charlotte put her right hand on her mouth and broke into fit of laughter. She's tearing up from laughing along with Dorothy. They're not helping.

"Do you know how long we're trying to call out your name?" Charlotte asked, wiping her tears of joy. She's clutching her stomach from too much laughing.

"We could say you're lost in his eyes. OMG." Dorothy snickered earning another laugh of agreement from Charlotte. "At least you're not sad about Hongjoong anymore."

"What?!" I asked defensively. I blink as I process what they're talking about. "No, it's not like that." I tried to defend myself, but I realized it's hard than what it looks like. They don't listen to me! And would continue to tease me. I can't, let me cry in the corner first.

"Come on, don't worry, we support you. Right Dorothy?" She nodded enthusiastically and the two of them hold each other's hands, enjoying how annoyed I am.

"I swear!" I give them a stern look, but guess these nutcrackers are not scared of me. Because none of them plan to stop laughing at any moment.

"Ahh! That's mostly the reaction of guilty people," Charlotte enunciate through top of her lungs as Dorothy followed.

"So defensive," with teasing voice the two started poking my side until I started to laugh. It tickled me. They won't stop, God help.

"Please stop!" As they stopped, I walk farther than them to catch some air. I can't breathe, too much for my well-being. I raised my hand mid-air giving them a stop sign. My other hand on my knee. I look down gasping for air, when I heard Charlotte cleared her throat. So I look up, to see them giggling while chin pointing what's behind me.

I straightened up and turn around to be face to face with the devil. "Oh hi~" I greeted awkwardly and glance at the two to asks for help but..

"We'll be back." They said and leave me alone with our one and only president, Park Seonghwa.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned. I can't even formed a word. What's happening with me? This is ridiculous.

I laugh, I laugh in the most awkward way I could. "Ah.ha.ha.haHAHAHA yes of course!" Faking my cheeriness as he chuckle. Dang this heart started to beat faster. "Do you need anything?" I maintain my breathing, trying my best to act normal.

He's eyes twinkled, it's always like that. The corner of his lips twitch into smile. "Can you go with me?" I gave him a questioning look, hoping he'll understand because I felt like I'll embarrass myself if I ever speak. Why would it matter tho? "Mr. Lee asked me to meet him at the highway and bring someone, the rest of the officers are busy, so I'm hoping maybe you're not..?"

I raised one brow at him and asks, "Why me? I'm sure you have many other friends." I don't want to sound rude, I'm just curious.

"I.. I just... I want.." He stammer to answer, and looks fidgety. I hide the smile that's aiming to broke out soon. I waited for his response, and when he opened his mouth, I was startled not because of him but because of the booming voice ot this freak behind me.

"JUST GO! Too many questions Morgan." I could feel the rolling of her eyes at me. Seriously, they will never leave me alone. "Go Seonghwa, just drag her." Seonghwa giggle and literally do what Charlotte have said.  Now who my friend is? "And give me that." I'm not given the time to react, Charlotte snatch the bag away from my hand before I could do anything. Great!
