GUISE [ 양정원 ] yang jungwon ✓

34 - ☆: serenade.

Jungwon quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Yerim before the other students saw Yerim with her see-through wet shirt. Mr Lee suddenly comes closer to them in worried, "Jungwon, what happened to both of you?"

Some students now turned their heads to them as only both of them that wet, which meant they were thinking both of them go to the river. Yerim only kept herself quiet as Jungwon told her to let him handle this, she trusted him because of how he handled the situation before goes well.

"Mr Lee, me and Yerim going to find some woods to burn it for tonight. But Yerim accidentally falls into the river, luckily I was there to save her."

Explained him with the expression his faking as well as his excuses, he really good in disguise. "Didn't I tell everyone not to go near the river? Why do both of you still go there?" after he hears Jungwon's explanation, he gets more worried because what if something even bad could happen?

"I'm sorry Mr Lee, it's all my fault. I'm the one who asked Yerim to follow me."

Yerim is shocked as Jungwon takes the responsibility for her fault, it's actually her fault that makes them get wet and both of them fall into the water. She's the one who should apologize, but Jungwon prevents her from doing so. Mr Lee sighed and just forgave both of them since luckily nothing bad happened.

Mr. Lee also gave a warning to all students to not go into the river area without the teacher's supervision. "Yerim, I've been searching for you. Thank god you save." Minji quickly helped Yerim to change her clothes before she caught a cold.

"Don't worry, I'll always be fine."

Yerim smiled as she remembered how Jungwon saved her early and got really worried about her, she also saw Jungwon's tears coming out a bit as he tried to hold them in front of her, Yerim had to pretend to not see that because he might be embarrassing if he finds out.

Night has come, and the students and teachers gather to make a circle while the bonfire is in the middle. They're laughing as some of them are randomly picked to tell a funny story and a horror story.

Their next request then is asked for a random pick to sing, whether they can sing or not, that will be the reaction all of them there. Yerim was praying that she didn't get picked as she was aware that she couldn't sing, basically a tone-deaf.

The bottle is twisted, and everyone seems nervous that they'll get picked as they are too shy to sing, all this actually an idea from the senior and they purposely doing so since they are having fun teasing a junior.

The corner of the bottle directly points in Jungwon's direction as it stops, and his face remains calm despite his getting picked. Everyone started cheering for him to sing any song he wanted.

"Woah, our school president! Come on, tell us what song are you going to perform?"

Asked the senior as everyone couldn't wait to hear his voice, they never heard Jungwon singing before, and that got them even more excited to put high expectations on him as he's good with everything. The same goes with Yerim, her attention fully on him when he got picked. She would love to hear his voice.

"I'll sing Just The Way You're by Bruno Mars."

A moment of silence is given to him as he gets ready to sing, he takes a deep breath while closing his eyes. Someone passed him the small mic the student brought for this activity.

"Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know
When I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"

Everyone is impressed as they can't believe Jungwon has a very pleasant voice, he's literally a whole package. He set up a high standard for someone as he was almost good with everything.

"I say, when I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are"

The whole time he sang, he kept glancing at Yerim and she also noticed that. It makes her think if the song he's singing is dedicated to her. The way he sings with full of emotions is some sort melt her, he looks like singing with his heart instead of his mouth as she can feel the emotions he conveys through the song.

'Did he really sing for me?' thinking her.

Everyone applauded as he finished his singing, some gave complimented on his unexpected charms and he just smiled while Jungwon kept stealing a glance at Yerim to see her reaction.

"Woah, that's such a perfect voice from our student president, but I'm curious if he dedicated this song to someone as the way he sings it like he's thinking of someone." stated the senior suddenly.

"Is there anyone that you like, Jungwon?"

Everyone started to look at Jungwon waiting for his response, he was surprised as he didn't expect they would ask him that. Yerim also looked at Jungwon as she was also curious about what he'd answer.

Jungwon gulped because he didn't know if he should be honest or lie to them, but the thing is Yerim was there. What is he supposed to do to avoid this question?

"I'm uhm... didn't like anyone, at the moment."

Her heart shattered after what Jungwon told everyone, she thought the song he singing just now was for her. Turns out, it's just her delusional, out of using her feelings too much in hoping something that's not true.

Her smile started to fade as she thought that she didn't deserve to have thought to be with him as she was not the girl that he wanted and loved.
