Daily Lovecast ; Choi Yeonjun

4: He's Always One Step Ahead

| KANG TAEHYUN'S POV | (there's a lot more swearing lol)

"It's out! Student Council results are out!" Someone said. I was ready to see my name on the very top of that list. I was sure that no one would take the spot that I always deserved. The past 3 years I was either a representative of Student Council or I wouldn't be in it at all. But senior year, I put my 100% and all 4 years of knowledge into it. I need this. I need to be the President. I was running towards the bulletin board until I heard his voice. "I did it... I did it! I'm the President! Hurry look!"

Choi fucking Yeonjun. Out of all the people that could've been president besides me, it had to be him. I hate Choi Yeonjun, I really do. Everything he does is so irritating to me. You know what made this moment even worse? The person he was calling was Choi Beomgyu. During sophomore year, I met Beomgyu in gym class. He was always really bad at games, so I always helped him. We ended up becoming friends throughout the year. But it wasn't until the summer before junior year when he met him. I would always see them together on social media posts. I assumed that they met outside of school, which made my blood boil.

"What?! Let me see." I watched his eyes lit up seeing Yeonjun's name on the top of that stupid paper. "See! I told you!"

Why is Yeonjun getting everything that I want? The two things I cherished the most is what he took. But, this is a good thing now. With me being the Vice President, it shouldn't be that hard to see him crumble right?

Wow I can't wait! Yeonjun's first broadcast is going to air pretty soon! I'm supposed to be up there. I'm supposed to be the one speaking. Yeonjun didn't even start speaking, yet people are swooning already.

"Hello I'm Choi Yeonjun, your Student Council President, and this is your daily broadcast. For starters, I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to share my voice with each and every one of you. I chose this path to bring you on my journey as a senior at Seoul High School. It is my job as President, to make sure everyone is welcome, heard, and seen. With your help, I hope we will have an amazing year together. Let's make the best out of it. This is Choi Yeonjun."

"He's even good at speaking." I whispered. It really annoyed me. I purposely miss SC meetings so I wouldn't see his face every day. Yeonjun is too good at everything. I hate it.

"Taehyun!" Beomgyu ran to me after school. "I need to tell you something, quick!"

"What?" I asked.

"Do you know Moon Na-rae? The girl you saw me with the other day?"

Moon Na-rae. So that was her name. "Sure, what about her?"

Beomgyu took a huge breath. "So basically, her and Yeonjun have been keeping this huge secret from all of us! Apparently they're childhood friends and they secretly pretended that they were complete strangers since freshman year! Isn't that crazy? They told me the truth just this morning before his broadcast! I can't believe they would keep a secret like that for so long... I used to think they hated each other."

I zoned out. Of course he's involved again.

"Uh... Taehyun? Were you listening to what I was saying?"

"They're friends?" I asked the obvious, please let it be fake. Please tell me I misheard.

"Yeah! It's hard to believe right?"

Fucking kill me already.

When Beomgyu told me about Na-rae and Yeonjun, I started to hate her too. I always see them together now that he mentioned it. It's been a week since school started and hearing that bitch's voice every morning pissed me off. It sets me up for a bad day. But god, I need to start going to the meetings. I can't just use up my only break to replace it with a meeting. I need to tell Mrs. Lee that I'll sacrifice my precious time after school to see that motherfucker.

I went to the broadcasting studio once Yeonjun finished. I assumed that he already left, but I was wrong. When I opened the door, he was right in front of my face. Be nice. "Oh, are you Choi Yeonjun?"

"That's me, who are you?" How do you not know me?

"It's nice to finally meet you. I'm Kang Taehyun, the Vice President." I plaster on a fake smile.

When break started, I had the thought to go to Beomgyu's classroom. Learning that Yeonjun is in there, I could probably eavesdrop for a while. Hopefully they don't see me.

"Why did you do that?!"

"What took you so long earlier?

Beomgyu really had to fucking tell me that day. He should've kept it to himself.

"I told everyone earlier, I had to meet someone. You haven't been trusting me lately huh?"

"Why are you guys still fighting?! Are you guys secretly siblings or something? What's with the extra bullshit?"

Still fighting?

I got bored of this conversation. I wanted to leave but then I heard Yeonjun mention me.

"I met the SC Vice President earlier. But, I don't really like him."

I'm glad the feeling is mutual.

"He seemed bitchy to me. I don't-"

I knocked on the door frame so he would shut up. In my opinion, I acted pretty normal considering the fact I hate him so much. You should've seen the look on his face when Beomgyu called out my name. They all make a good trio, but I should be the one in Yeonjun's seat.

Na-rae had the nerve to ask me to sit with them. If only she knew, "No thanks." She glared at me when I responded. I already know she's gonna talk shit about me once I leave.

"Taehyun, you signed up too?" Beomgyu didn't know? I swear he was there that day.

"You didn't see my name on the list? I saw you looking at it that day."

Beomgyu's face made me angry. He looked guilty. "I didn't see it. I was looking at Yeonjun's name."

That was my last straw. Yeonjun took him away too. It took him only 3 months to take him away from me. Choi Yeonjun, I swear to god. I'm jealous. I hate that you're one step ahead of me.

I hate you.

Chapter 4 already?
This is so poorly written sorry </3
