LEGACY || Jungwon x Engene

Forced reconciliation

"Can I ask you what I'm doing here?"

"Well, it's our study time."

Jungwon is obviously mad to be alone with me right now, but I couldn't think of any other way to get to talk to him alone.

"What did you say to the principal for him to force me here like this?"

"I simply told him I was worried about you."

He sigh.

Then, he straighten up and bend above the table, towards me.

"Were you?"

I avoid his gaze at first, but finally says the truth,

"I actually was. You were a jerk to act like this at the party, but I was also at fault. I was at fault concerning Hugh, but also, I shouldn't have said what I said."

"And what did you say?"

I can see he's smiling a little. He's starting to have fun again.

"Well...about Hugh, and your brother..."

"I don't recall."

Motherf- he's going at it again!

"Well, the thing is that I'm sorry!" I exclaim, a little to loud.
"I thought we were friends so I would be sad if it had to end because of one stupid party."

He stops his mocking act and, to my surprise, he replies genuinely,

"Actually, I agree. I've had so much fun thanks to you, I wouldn't want it to stop."
I can't help a smile and nod, satisfied.
"Plus, you'd be lost without my advices, given your terrible tastes in men. Did the last one broke up with you?"

"He did because of you! Jackass!"

"Hey, I was only protecting you...and him from a terrible mistake!"

"I won't ask you again what you disliked about him, I know better. But why don't we inverse the roles? Tell me your type, you owe it to me."

He thinks for a second, before answering,

"I told you I like smart girls," I nod, a little disappointed, thinking he won't say more. But against all odds, he continues,
"I like girls who are passionate and classy. She has to know what she wants and express it clearly."

"Oh, so you're big into good communication, nice."

"It's more because I'd want to do everything she wants from me, so I need to know clearly."

I blush, he's not apologetic one bit about this bold declaration.

"Your type suits you. You're passionate and classy," I stutter to hide my fluster.

"Why thanks! I know you're not too much into the classy part for your man, but I'll still take it as a compliment."

I roll my eyes.

"And at uni, did any girl catch your eyes?" I ask.

"Will you help me get her if I tell you?"

It sounds like someone did catch his eye.

"Sure, but I thought you didn't need any schemes," I mock.

"Not schemes, but advices. I have no experience in the matter."

"You don't!?" I laugh, surprised.

"What's so shocking?"

"You're so popular!"

"How does it matter that a lot of people like me if I don't like them back?"

"True."
I sigh. He goes back to his textbook.
"Actually... I don't have a lot either."

I feel my cheeks warming up as I admit it and I start fidgeting. I feel Jungwon looking at me.

"Engene...," he smiles. "Are you saying you're a virgin?"
