LEGACY || Jungwon x Engene

The grudge gets stronger

What was supposed to be my come back ended up being me rolling further my downfall.

He's done it again! Jungwon humiliated me again! And ten times more than the first time.

Getting me dumped by my amazing boyfriend before watching me take an unwanted dive in the pool in front of everyone I know, and not helping me afterwards? I have to give it to him, it was a real performance.

Thankfully, I was able to take the whole thing with humor and turned it into a cute little accident to the eyes of the Decelis crowd. So, the thing is kind of settled now.

But what I couldn't erase and stuck even days after the party, was Jungwon kissing me. It didn't seem big at the time because of the Hugh incident, but now that my head cooled off, I can't escape it.

Why didn't I push him away immediately? Why did he do it?
And most of all,
How was it so damn good!??!!

But I can keep asking myself all these questions, I won't get an answer anytime soon, since Jungwon is ignoring me.

No more snarky comments about my appearance or demeanor, no more clinginess during clubs. When we cross eyes he looks irritated, and he doesn't ask for private lessons anymore.

I can't complain since I'm doing the same, but I'm can't help but miss him. I knew all my fears were founded since he humiliated me once again, but he was never actually mean. Also, it was low of me to compare him to his brother when he probably suffered about it more than once in the past.

"What's wrong Engene?"
I look up at Sooha, realizing I didn't even start my homework.
"It's not like you to be so slow. Where did all your energy go?"

Our friend Sunoo is seated next to her and is looking at me with a curious gaze.

"Is it because of this guy?" he asks.

"N-no, I'm alright. We broke up cleanly and I was at fault, I won't brood over it."

"I'm not talking about Hugh," cut Sunoo.
"I'm talking about Yang Jungwon."
How did he know?
"So, I was right. Tell us what's happening."

I'm really reluctant to talk about my biggest source of shame. I try to convince myself I don't need to talk about it, but in the end, I still badly need a release.

I tell them how he's avoiding me and what I told him during the party. I'm being careful to not talk about the kiss.

Of course, they tell me I was the villain and urge me to find some way to talk to him. He's the famous Yang Jungwon after all, they can't let the opportunity for their friend to get close to him pass.

They're mostly mistaken in their advices, but it still convinces me to do something about this situation. He's my biggest rival after all, school is less fun without him.
