chapter 8 - secret's out

"Jay, you really don't have to do all of these.." When the boy in front of her gave her another gift, a girl with long black hair, wearing a maroon sweatshirt, spoke. She also had a silver headphone hanging around her neck.

"I'm doing this for you, Hana, because I love you. I'll keep doing this until you give me an answer." Jay grinned at her and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Hana could feel her guilt beginning to rise. She told him to wait because she lacked the heart to reject him. Wait for her to develop feelings for him. But nothing was happening.

She wanted to be honest with him but couldn't force herself to.

"I suppose you're busy, then. You need to head to class right away." Jay gave her one final pat before departing slowly. "See you." Hana was left by herself in the corridor when he grinned at her and moved on.

Hana released the deep breath she had been holding. She made a tongue click as she turned to face the box. She lacks the courage to discard it. It was very expensive.

"Miss girl, wow. An additional present this week?" Hana suddenly heard a woman's voice. She then turned her head in the direction of Wonyoung, who was sitting at the table and watching everything happen.

"Wonyoung.." Hana licked her lips as she sighed.

"Based on what I've observed. The truth was something he was evading. Hana, you should go ahead and reject him." Hana rubbed the back of her head in frustration as Wonyoung gave advice.

"I couldn't do it."

"You're telling me that an attractive man who majored in history was there and his name was Park Jongseong?" As he chewed on his breakfast and thought back to the tale Jungwon had told him, Sunoo questioned.

"I was there, and my bro was stunning," In response to Jungwon, Ni-ki wiggled his brows at him.

"If you hadn't interrupted us, I was going to ask for his phone number." Ni-ki was forced to surrender and drink the strawberry milk as Jungwon scowled back at him.

Sunoo shuddered as he noticed the strawberry milk. "God, I had a vague sense of deja vu." Jake laughed at what he said.

"At least it's over now right—"

"Kim Sunoo!" Unexpectedly, a loud voice with a high pitch that Sunoo was familiar with bellowed, filling the entire cafeteria.

Sunoo prepared for some stuff to happen by clicking his tongue and inhaling deeply. Many students snapped their heads towards Sunoo right away, but he merely remained silent and continued eating.

The girl who had just yelled his mame suddenly walked over to the table.

Jake inhaled and prayed in his head that his friends wouldn't throw hands at the girls.

Ni-ki quietly sat down and drank his strawberry milk.

"Kim Sunoo, stop even attempting to act as though you didn't know what you did!" Sunoo clenched his ears as she yelled, making him cringed at her behavior.

Jungwon sighed, becoming weary of such bullshits.

She was becoming agitated by the way she was being treated, but Sunoo chose to ignore her. "Oh, I see how it is," she whispered as she pressed the side of her cheek with her tongue.

She then signaled to her companions to dump the bucket of ice-cold water on Sunoo.

Then, Sunoo experienced chilly water soaking his garments. The cafeteria was filled with gasps as Sunoo instantly got to her feet. His food, clothes, and everything else were damaged.
