16 - ☆: because of her.

[ Jungwon's pov ]

"Minji, is that you who keep giving me Jelly?" asked Yerim. "Huh? No, not me." I turned off the music as soon as she mentioned Jelly. Seeing the reaction on her face, she seems blushing when Minji tells her someone probably had a crush on her.

She even gets more blushing when Jay comes to see her, what? Does she really like him? The moment Minji asks her if they're dating, she denies it but still the smile on her face tells the opposite.

Jungwon pretends to do his work when Yerim takes a glance at him, the fact that he turns off the music just to hear Yerim and Minji's conversation. It's rare too because he usually will study in the library, but these day he chooses to study in the classroom.

"How about we go karaoke?" Both of them cheered with their plan after the school session ended. 'Is she really going to waste her time right now? Hasn't she failed her exam?' Jungwon got upset silently when he heard their plan.

Jungwon massages his forehead in between his eyebrows due to stress from Yerim's behavior. But why is he stressing, it's not even bother him if she failed or not later. She's the one who didn't study.

"Ah, I must be crazy.."

Muttered him when he was standing in front of the KBOX, he also didn't know why he went there when he was supposed to study in his house right now. The moment he was about to leave, suddenly someone approached him.

"Jungwon! What are you doing here?" one of the seniors from his school asked, they're pretty close too. "Me and my friend supposed to head here but my friend couldn't make it." replied him while chuckling, what a liar.

"Is that so? How about you join us? I think there's your classmate too joined us."

Said him. 'My classmates? Who could it be.. Yerim?' thought him, that's possible because this senior is close with Jay, and Jay and Yerim just getting closer at the moment.

"Oh, can I?"

Asking him as if he feels guilty about it when he's actually WANTS it. "Sure sure, who wouldn't want to welcome our school president." laughing the senior and invited Jungwon to go inside.

[ Jungwon's pov ]

As soon as I came in, my eyes were looking for 'my classmate' he mentioned just now. There she is, the one I searching and hoping for. She sits quietly in the corner of the sofa, her eyes wide open when she finds out that I'm joining them. I'm trying to hold my laughing seeing how scared and shocking she is at the moment.

"Jungwon, go sit there." I'm getting closer to her and purposely take a seat beside her. Our eyes meet again, I keep wanting it when she looks straight into my eyes. Even though there's still space beside me, I purposely sit way too close to her, until our shoulders touch each other.

'Is that possible if our hand touching too right now?'

I can see the complete discomfort on her face when I sit beside her, she keeps adjusting her sit by leaning back and straightening it each second. But I found it amusing to see her scared reaction like I want to keep teasing her.

Oddly, I want her to stay longer, I don't care if she is uncomfortable or not. I want her to sit beside me. After done treated nicely to all these seniors, I turned my head to look at her, but she turned her head on the opposite side because she didn't want to look at me.

"Jay, please excuse me. I had to go back, something urgent happened."

She gets up after I gradually stare at her, maybe that's why she leaves because of being totally uncomfortable with me. Seeing her and Jay laughing made me feel something that I couldn't explain, I felt like I didn't want seeing her close to him.

Especially when she laughs until her eyes smile too. It makes her look genuinely happy but with Jay. I clenching the fist seeing how close they were at the moment. Now that she left, I'm done here. I just came here because of her, I'm not going into this kind of place if it's not because of her.

Only because of Moon Yerim.
Moon Yerim.
Moon Yerim.
Moon Yerim.
