Never | Lee Haechan

Let them talk

It's been over 3 weeks, well 4 weeks to be exact, since classes began again. She had thought hiding her little secret would be easier than this. But it was much harder than she had assumed it'd be. She had to constantly stay on a hoodie or other fluffy clothing; thank heavens it was winter. She'd have to lie and make up stories about certain instances like weight gain or exhaustion for example.

In other words, her thought that her relationship with Haechan would continue to be a secret went yeeting out the window. She really thought they wouldn't meet often outside home but boy was she wrong. He'd show up everywhere whenever he had free time.

Naturally, that lead to rumours spreading like wild fire around the campus, some dismissing it, some saying it was expected, some adding more to it like it was their own story.

Either way, she couldn't give a flying fuck as long as Jaemin didn't know. No, Jaemin didn't know yet. Somehow. To be fair, even she was surprised. Perhaps Hana has kept him pretty occupied for the past few weeks. Her little plan came in handy in more than one way perhaps.

So.....what exactly happened?

4 weeks ago, the morning after their date

The raven head woke up feeling the space beside her empty. A pout formed on her lips and eyes scrunched up in annoyance as she tried to hug herself to sleep again but a little laugh from a known voice made her open her eyes to see Haechan staring at her with a grin. He was leaning against the wall beside their wall, apparently watching her sleep.

"Miss my cuddles already?"

"No, fuck off, you creep," she sweared moodily with a croaked voice making him laugh again. She lazily dragged her feet to the restroom, somehow managing to tie her hair up on her way. Once she was fully awake and out of the bathroom, he wasn't in the room anymore so she took herself to the kitchen. It was half an hour past 7 am and today was their first day of the final semester. Her break this semester had been quite eventful and she could only hope for her final semester to be calm. She knew it was a delusional hope but nonetheless, she'd manifest it.

As she approached the kitchen she paused when she noticed a certain pink head rummaging through the cupboards frustratedly, looking for something specific.

And suddenly, all the memories of last night flooded her brain. Which eventually did lead to her and him ending up tangled in bed. It couldn't go any other way after a date when it was the two of them.

The night before....

"What the fuc- IS THAT JIAE?"

The couple turned around with wide eyes to be met with a pink haired girl giving them a look of incredulity. Haechan immediately rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheeks while Jiae gulped and turned in to a bright shade of red.

"Oh. My. GOD! It is her," The girl squealed when she got a clear view of Jiae's face. The girl in question bumped her head into his shoulder in embarrassment as the younger girl continued to fawn over them.

"This is so insane oh my-"

"Okay Lee Dalbyeol I think that enough you're making her uncomfortable," Haechan tried stopping her but she gasped at his words instead, "Holy shit you're also being caring-?! OH MY GOD SINCE WHE-"

Haechan pressed his palm onto her mouth making her muffle, "I said enough!" He exclaimed and dragged her away from where Jiae stood.

"Dal- who are you?" A deep voice spoke and suddenly pulled Dalbyeol from Haechan's grip protectively.
