Chapter 15

Miso POV
I gulped as Jake parked his car in the school parking lot.
"Are you okay?" He asked as I nodded.
"Are you sure? We can drive back if you want." He offered.
"I need to face this!" I huffed, determined, as he held my hand.
"Okay then." He sighed, putting his glasses on.
He was about to open the car door when I quickly stopped him.
"Wait, I'm nervous."I huffed.
"It's okay love, trust." He laughed, opening the door.
He quickly got out before running to the other side of the car.
He put up an 'ok' sign as I nodded.
I mouthed an 'I'm ready' before he opened the door.
I hopped out the car before he went to the backseat to grab our bags.
"Yours." He smiled, handing me my bag before shutting the car door.
"Are you really sure?" He huffed as I nodded.
I sighed as we started making our way to the entrance hand in hand, unaware of what was coming for us.
The moment we entered, we heard mummering and whispering as students stared at us, almost disgusted.

"Geez it's her."
"I cant believe Jake chose her over Chaesoo."
"Infidelity at it's max."
"I feel so bad for Chaesoo..."

I huffed before making my way to my locker and quickly grabbed my books.
I was about to shut the door when someone did it for me.
Chaesoo.
"Fvck! This is it." I thought, placing my forehead against my locker to avoid eye contact.
"Yah! You can't even look at me?" She scoffed.
I hesitated before turing to look at her.
"Oh! Your back!" I laughed awkwardly, clenching onto my books.
She scoffed before quickly shoving me, cauing me to drop my books.
"Do you have nothing else to do?" She scoffed.
"Sorry?" I huffed.
"All you do is mess around with other people's boyfriends right? Is this what people without a mother do?" She laughed.
How did she...
"Uhm..." I let out, what was I supposed to say?
"Did she forget to educate you? Or was she even there to educate you at all?" She laughed, lightly shoving me once more.
"Don't forget your place here, okay?" She scoffed as tears streamed down my face.
"Your just a broke little girl here on scholarship with no mother in sight, don't forget that, got it?" She scoffed as I looked down, embarrassed.
"And your just the side chick afterall, right?" She laughed as I cried.

Jake POV
I sighed as I noticed a crowd forming near the lockers on the left side of the hallway.
Chaesoo... again.
I huffed before dashing across and through the crowd only to see Miso on the ground as Chaesoo laughed.
I scoffed as she continued laughing at Miso who was wiping her tears away.
"What the fvck Chaesoo?" I shouted, walking in between them.
"What?" She laughed.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing?" I scoffed, helping Miso up before she ran off with her friends who were worriedly standing behind her.
I huffed before dragging Chaesoo to the rooftop and locking the door behind us.
"What's your problem? Are you trying to get suspended again?" I shouted as she sluggishly walked towards me.
"So what! Is that any of your problem?" She scoffed.
"Yes it is! Your destryoing your own reputation which ultimately destroys mine!" I huffed.
"Are you trying to get the deal off?" I huffed, frustrated.
"Are you not trying to do that? You dating another girl called off the deal long ago didn't it." She scoffed.
"But we're not even real! Was that not the whole point? I don't like you and I never will, has that not been clear?" I shouted, running my hand through my hair.
"Do you not understand what I'm trying to say?" Chaesoo huffed, tears welling up in her eyes.
What?
"I like you okay? That's what I've been trying to say, why do you think I suggested this in the first place?" She sobbed.
Just then, I heard the bell ring and I quickly rushed out and into class.

??? POV
I smiled as I stopped recording.
I quickly got out of my hiding place and saw Chaesoo crying.
Geez... dramatic much.
I scoffed before heading back to class, leaving her as she sobbed uncontrollably.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Jake POV
I went into class and realised that Miso wasn't there.
I let out a 'hmm?' as I sat down while Mrs Nam entered the classroom.
She began marking attendance as I pulled out my phone to text Miso.

Love?
Where are you?

I cleared my throat before placing my phone back into my pocket as Mrs Nam called out my name.
"Here." I said briefly, raising my hand.
She soon got to the end of the list and called out Miso's name.
"Miso?" She called out once more.
"She wasn't feeling too good so she went home." Jieun smiled as she nodded.
With that, I quickly pulled out my phone to text her.

Love?
Are you okay?
Pls reply.

I sighed before sliding my phone back into my pocket as we were dismissed for our lessons.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I called and called as I headed to my car, hoping that Miso was okay.
"Come on..." I mumbled, pressing the call button once more.
I sighed as I started my car before quickly driving to Miso's place.
Once I had reached, I quickly ran to the door and knocked on it before her grandma answered,
"Oh hey sweetie, I was expecting you. Miso's in her room, please talk to her for me?" She smiled as I nodded.
"Of course I will! Thank you." I smiled before heading off.
I knocked on Miso's door before heading in, only to see her curled up in bed and wearing my hoodie and shorts.
"Love!" I exclaimed as she sat up.
"Are you okay? You had all of us worried." I huffed, pulling her into a hug.
She soon started crying as I ran my hand through her hair, comforting her.
"I'm sorry love..." She cried as I pulled away.
"Why are you sorry? There's nothing to be sorry for." I smiled, wiping her tears.
"I shouldn't have put that picture as my wallpaper and now you're gonna get into trouble with your mum and dad." She said in between sobs.
I laughed as she placed her head onto my shoulder.
"It's okay, I promise, I'll be okay and we'll be okay." I smiled as I felt her nod.
She soon pulled away before I placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Don't cry anymore okay? I'll be here with you." I smiled, tucking a loose stand of hair behind her ear.
She pouted and nodded before reaching out for me to hug her.
"Geez, you're such a baby." I laughed, pulling her into the hug as she slapped my back.
I let out a groan as she laughed.
"My baby." I continued as she cringed.
"Ew get away from me!" She teased, pulling away.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

"She's asleep." I smiled, walking out of the room as everyone sighed in relief.
"Thank you Jake! I don't know what's been happening but I didn't want to agitate her further by asking." Miso's dad laughed.
"Yeah! Miso hasn't really been able to express herself freely to us so thank you for helping her." Her grandfather smiled.
"Anyways, are you hungry?" Miso's grandmother asked.
"Would it be too much for you?" I started as they all laughed.
"Of course not! Sit down! Miso told me that you like galbitang so I made some for you!" Miso's grandmother laughed as I smiled.
I smiled as I sat at the table, patiently waiting for Miso's grandma.
"Here, eat up okay?" She smiled, placing the bowl down.
"Thank you Mrs Kim." I smiled as she sat across me.
"Call me grandma, please." She laughed as I smiled.
"Sure! Thank you grandma!" I repeated as she laughed.
"Gosh your such a good boy! Has your family ever told you that?" She laughed.
I shook my head as she frowned.
"Well now you know." She sighed as she signalled for me to eat my food.
I quickly followed as she watched me eat.
"Well anyway, you must be having a hard time too right?" She asked as I placed down my utensils.
I felt my body tense up as she sighed.
"It must be, right?" She huffed.
"Well, don't be afraid to share your worries okay? We'll all be here for you okay?" She smiled, taking my hand into hers.
I nodded as tears formed in my eyes.
"Geez don't cry, just eat okay?" She laughed as I nodded.
"Well I'll be heading to bed now, rest well alright?" She smiled, patting my hand as she stood up.
She quickly stretched before making her way to her room
So this is what family felt like?
