WRONG CONFESSION ,, 재윤 ✓

fourteen.

Iseul looks at her twin as he's crying over the phone call. Sunghoon was teaching her mathematics when he suddenly got a call from his girlfriend and he suddenly.. cried. What's going on between them? She only can watch from her seat as she decides to listen to music because it will be better if she doesn't hear anything.

Sunghoon goes back to her, wiping the tears off before he opens the book. Iseul drops the pen, looking at him in disbelief. "Are you going to continue?" She asks because he just cried, he needs some space.

"Why? You don't want me to?" He glances up at her. His eyes are red.

"No, it just.. are you okay?"

He sighs before closing the book. "Fine. Let's stop here," He gets up and leaves the room.

Iseul purses her lips, not sure what to do in this situation. Sunghoon and Jina have been dating for over a year. It's normal if they get into a fight, after all they're a couple. But they will also end up going back to each other because they can't live without each other. Sunghoon might look like a jerk sometimes but when it comes to his girlfriend, he would do anything for her.

Sunghoon relied on Jina most of the time. It might be Iseul's fault or their parents' fault sometimes for not giving the full attention to him, that's why he chose to talk about his problems at Jina. It's surprising to see him crying because no matter how bad the fight was, he never cried.

The next day, Iseul wakes up only to find Sunghoon has gone to school without waking her up. He didn't eat his breakfast so mom packed him lunch and now she needs to send it to him. She walks, heading to Jaeyun's classroom when she sees his girlfriend talking with her friends. She looked fine when her boyfriend literally cried yesterday. "Should I ask her what happened?"

Iseul goes up to Jina and the girl is surprised to see her. She gives an awkward smile at Iseul. "Hey, Iseul."

"What happened? Why was Sunghoon crying yesterday?" Iseul honestly has nothing to say to her so she just goes straight to the point, asking the thing that's on her mind.

Jina is taken back to hear her words. Did she hear it wrong? Sunghoon was crying..? Now she feels guilty to answer the question because Iseul is definitely going to blame her.

"He did..? Ah, I don't know.." She can't keep herself calm as she keeps fixing her bangs.

"I don't want to get involved with you guys' relationship but I can't bear to see him crying. Sunghoon is not the type to cry unless it's really too hard for him to take."

Iseul walks away after saying that. She knocks on the door, greets one of the classmates and asks him to give the lunch box to Sunghoon. Iseul turns around and smiles when she sees Jaeyun. He runs to her when he sees her.

The smile never leaves his face whenever he sees Iseul. "What are you doing in front of my classroom? Are you searching for me?"

"No."

"What.. oh, really? Hahaha, then who is it?" He asks, not expecting her to answer the last question but she did.

"Sunghoon."

"Park Sunghoon..? Oh.. wow, honestly did you have a connection with him because I never saw you guys interact but at the same time it seems like you guys know each other for a long time," He leans against the wall, casually saying that even though there's lots of questions he wants to ask.

Who is Sunghoon to you?

Why do you want to meet him?

Does he used to be your lover or something?

Do you like him?

Does he like you?

Since the day when Iseul got harassed by the student and Sunghoon told Jaeyun to stay away from her, he couldn't stop thinking about it because no one really answered his question.

"You can say we do know each other well. Can I ask you a favour, Jaeyun?"

"What is it?"

"Can you take a look after Sunghoon for me? Make sure he eats his lunch. I'm so worried about him. You will, right?" Iseul takes his hands, holding it tightly and looking at him with innocent eyes.

"Oh yeah, sure. But who—"

"Alright! I need to go now, see ya!" Iseul waves at him.

"Huh.."

———

Sunghoon tries not to turn around because he can feel a strong gaze staring deep at him. Seriously, stop staring at me!!

Jaeyun crosses his arms, his eyes on Sunghoon most of the time. Of course Iseul asked him to look after Sunghoon for her but she never told him to look at him 24/7. He bites his lips nervously, biting his fingertips.

"How does it feel to have my crush worrying about you.." He doesn't bother doing his notes but staring at Sunghoon in the class.

Tall, pale skin, sharp and pretty nose, and a handsome face. Is that the kind of guy Iseul likes? Hm, Heeseung is pretty tall too.

"So frustrating," Jaeyun places his head on the desk. "I want Iseul to worry about me too.." He slightly pouts, finger drawing a heart shape on the table.

"Let's hangout this weekend!"

Heeseung picks up the ball on the ground and turns to his best friend. He scratches his head when Jaeyun isn't replying to him. The teacher tells them to run a few laps before they play soccer.

"Watch out!" Someone shouts and Jaeyun turns to see but a ball is flying towards him before hitting him in the face, causing him to fall on his back.

Heeseung immediately ran to get Jaeyun, seeing blood flowing out from his nose. He shakes Jaeyun a bit, trying to wake him up and his eyes are looking all over the place and his head hurts from the ball and the fall. Heeseung carried him on his back, bringing him to the nurse's office to treat his bloody nose.

Iseul is in the corridor talking to her friends when she sees Heeseung running past her with someone on his back. She immediately recognized it's Jaeyun before telling her friends she needed to go somewhere. Iseul is hesitant to open the door because what is she doing here in the first place? To see Jaeyun? Suddenly someone opens from inside and it's none other than Heeseung.

"You must be here to see Jaeyun. Hahaha, I don't know what's wrong with him today. He kept zoning out," Heeseung moves to the side to let the girl step inside. Then, he closes the door leaving the room.

"Oh! Iseul! Ouch—" Jaeyun touches his nose, hissing at the pain. He can't believe he let Iseul see him in this state.

"What happened to you? Heeseung said you were zoning out, is something bothering you?" Iseul steps closer, standing in front of him as her fingertips touch his face.

"No.." His eyes looked at her, letting her thumb brush over his cheeks and nose.

"You should be more careful. I'm glad it was just a small injury, you could have gotten hurt badly if you're being clumsy," She's blabbing at him like she's his mother. "I'm so worried if something happens.." She lowers her voice down but Jaeyun can still hear it.

Smile appears on his face. He's happy. He holds her arm, pulling her closer so that he can hug her which makes her confused with the sudden hug. But Iseul isn't complaining. When she tries to pull away, Jaeyun stops her by holding her fingers tightly.

"Don't go.. stay here with me."

"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere."
