CHAPTER 45

(NIKIXEUNCHAE)

Niki had just got out of class. He was supposed to spend the rest of the day with Eunchae. He spent most of his time hanging out with her recently. He didn't mind since he was still over the moon that she liked him back.

"Niki!" A familiar voice called him. He turned around to confirm who it was. It was Yeonjun with Han approaching him.

They dapped each other up. "Where the hell have you been?" Han asked.

"You bolted out right after practice." Yeonjun added.

Niki lightly laughed. "Yeah, I've been hanging with Eunchae."

"Oh yeah! Headmaster's daughter from the party." Yeonjun recognized the name.

"Is that your girl?" Han asked.

Niki stopped himself before answering. "I mean I guess, technically."

"Ah, y'all just talking. Han said in clarification.

"I mean, I just haven't asked her yet." Niki further explained while walking along side of them.

"Well you better soon, because ain't that her?" Yeonjun asked pointing ahead of them.

Eunchae was seen talking and laughing with Maki, one of the new members for the academic team. Niki felt something by he had never felt before he felt his heart drop and his blood boil a little. Eunchae had a lot of guy friends but never did he see her laugh like that with one of them. Also the fact that he sees everything in a different light since he hasn't asked Eunchae to be his girlfriend.

Niki tried to snap out of it and bring himself back to reality. He was being delusional for a second them. He let out a fake laugh to his team mates to make it look like he didn't care. "I'll see y'all later." Niki said to them before walking up to Eunchae

EUNCHAE'S POV

Academic team practices were always so boring for Eunchae, all she can think of was hanging out with Niki after. All she wanted to do was spend some time with him, she couldn't get enough of him.

As they were wrapping up studying and practicing. The new guy Maki came up to her. "You were dozing off." He joked.

"Yeahhhhhhh I do that sometimes." She said playing along.

"I hope we win this Friday, my parents will be there this match actually. They also want to meet the headmaster's smart daughter." Maki said as he watched her pack her things.

Eunchae laughed lightly. "Who doesn't, I'm so famous." She said before walking out with him.

"More like smart ass." Maki said back laughing.

"Hey!" She exclaimed before pushing him.

Maki laughed harder. "I'm joking!"

"Mhmm." Eunchae said laughing back.

Eunchae turned and saw Niki approach both of them. "Oh hey you-" she was cut off was Niki put jus hands on her waist pulling her into a kiss. Niki pulls away and holds her closer and faces Maki.

"Niki- wha." Eunchae managed to say a little taken a back and embarrassed. She was flushed bright red.

Maki looks at Niki. "You must be the new star athlete, I'm Maki by the way." Maki tried to break the awkwardness.

Niki's expression remained cold. "Niki."

"Well it's nice to meet you, Eunchae I'll see you Friday." Maki just smiled and went his way.

"Yup, see you later." Eunchae said back as she watched him walk away. She then looks at niki and punched him in the chest. "What the heck was that about?" She said with a slight irritated tone.

"What?" Niki decided to play dumb.

Eunchae sighed. "That was so awkward!" She said as the both started walking to the parking lot.

"Why do you care what he thinks?" He said under his breath but it was enough for Eunchae to hear.

Eunchae raised and eyebrow and got closer to him. "Are you... jealous?" She said now smiling more deviously.

Niki looked at her with an irritated look. "Jealous? I'm not jealous." He denied.

"Oohhhkay." She said obviously mocking him. "So you wouldn't mind if I go hang out with Mak-" she continued on but was quickly cut off by Niki.

"Eunchae, stop. Let's leave it." Niki said with an irritated tone before walking to the car.

Eunchae pouted and walked close behind him.

The drive to eunchae's house was quiet and a bit awkward from the argument earlier. Eunchae was always been stubborn, but so was Niki.

Niki sighed and swallowed his pride. He put a hand on her knee while she sat on the passenger seat. "Eunchae." He started while still looking at the road.

Eunchae said nothing back still being hard headed. She pulled her knee towards the other direction.

Niki pulled his hand away to turn the wheel and park. Eunchae was kind of disappointed he didn't keep pushing.

As soon as he parks the car, she immediate gets out and Niki follows after. No one was home but their house keeper. Niki follows her to her bedroom. Eunchae sat on her bed and continued to be pouty.

He kneels down at Eunchae's feet to look at her face to face. Niki reaches for both of her hand and held them. "I was jealous." He said in a lower tone.

Eunchae looked backed into his eyes. "Why would you be jealous?" She chooses his face. "Didn't I tell you that I like you?" She reassured him.

"I know, I know. But seeing you with someone else really puts things in perspective." He replied to her while avoiding her gaze.

"Well, I didn't lie. I still like you." She said smiling at him.

Niki looked up at her and thought of how beautiful she is. Niki stands up and towers over Eunchae and leaned down for a kiss.

Eunchae looked up and kissed him back. Niki slowly laid her down, now propping his knee and his arm on the bed. He held on to the back of her head so her head would gently touch the bed.

Both of them made eye contact. "Eunchae would you be girlfriend?" Be asked in a whisper.

Eunchae simply smiled and nodded her head.

As they were both leaning in for another kiss, they heard a knock on the door, startling both of them.

"Ms. Eunchae, I have refreshments!" The house keeper announced through the door.

The quickly got up and sat in the bed together before letting them in.

"Urm, yes please, come in" Eunchae said trying to act normal. The house keeper comes in. And Niki couldn't help but to burst out laughing.

Eunchae look at at him a little surprised but shortly started laughing with him.
