A few years later (an original story ft golden child)

Ch 2

Slowly waking up to my alarm I groan in annoyance as I reluctantly sit up in bed and turn the alarm off. Sighing I climb out of bed and grab my school uniform before I head to my private bathroom to take a shower I setting my uniform aside safely. Once I shower and dry off I pull on the uniform making sure it's worn properly then brush my teeth and hair before I leave the bathroom and grab my backpack. I then head to the kitchen where I greet my parents and brother cheerfully I taking a seat and quickly eat my food. Once I'm done I put the dishes in the sink before wishing my family a goodbye I heading out of the house and walk to school. As soon as I arrive at school I get my locker number and schedule I first going to find my locker. When I find it I silently open it to put my sketchbook away when suddenly the locker door is slammed shut I jumping in surprise only to frown when I see the school player Beomseok standing there he smirking at me. "Hey Cyrus. I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to a party this weekend." I raise an eyebrow but say politely. "No thanks I'm not interested." His eyes narrow for a second before he gives me a flirty smile. "Come on now you should get out for once and have fun." I immediately say a little firmly. "Look I'm not interested okay. Now please leave me alone." Beomseok scoffs and next thing I know is I'm being pinned against my locker my nose wrinkling at his disgusting scent. "You're never interested in anyone. All you do is hang around the nerd and the outcast and you might as well give up on them because they'd never go for you." I flinch slightly at his words I stuttering out a nervous. "I.... I don't like them like that." He smirks and moves his face even closer to mine making my stomach twist with disgust I trying not to gag from his gross scent. "Then why don't you give me a chance huh? I'd sure like to see those pretty lips be put to good use." I freeze as his lips get closer to mine I trying to push him away but he's too strong. Just as he's about to kiss me he's suddenly grabbed and I immediately feel relieved when Minhyuk slams Beomseok against the wall across from us hard while Jaehyo takes my shaking form into his arms he gently petting my head. "Shhh it's okay precious. You're okay." I unconsciously bury my face against his chest pitifully slowly relaxing at his nice calming scent I able to hear Minhyuk say threateningly. "If we ever catch you touching him again I won't hesitate to light your ass on fire." I hear footsteps running off then Minhyuk's gentle voice. "Are you okay sunshine?" I slowly lift my head up a little to look at him and I hold my arm out to him pitifully his expression softening and Jaehyo moves a bit so Minhyuk can join in the hug Jaehyo wrapping his arms around both of us since he's the tallest while I'm being held in the middle by both boys my instincts calming and I relax at their comforting scents I murmuring softly. "He smelled so bad and dirty and I was afraid he was going to steal my first kiss." Minhyuk gently tightens his grip on me a little. "If he did I'd personally fry him." Jaehyo speaks up firmly. "And I would've let him too. I know you were telling him no he shouldn't have tried to force you into anything." I reluctantly pull away from them a little and change the subject. "Have you guys got your schedules yet?" They give each other a look but nod Jaehyo saying softly. "Yeah we were coming to check them with yours." I give a little smile as I pull out my own schedule and we all compare them together. "Jaehyo and I have basically every class together. But we all have lunch, home-room and physical education together at least." Minhyuk hums. "Well at least I have one class with you guys. We should probably head to home-room though." We nod and start walking to our home-room class where we take a seat in the back I sitting in between the two older guys I trying to ignore the dirty looks I'm getting from their fan club members. After a while of staying in home-room I grumble as we head to physical education and Jaehyo doesn't look too thrilled either as Minhyuk skips ahead of us. Once we enter the gym we're handed our gym uniforms I reluctantly heading to the bathroom to change because I'm not comfortable changing clothes in front of others. Once I'm ready I head back to the gym and take a seat with Minhyuk and Jaehyo wincing when the teacher says we're playing dodgeball me and Jaehyo giving each other a look. The teacher chooses team captains one being Beomseok and the other being Minhyuk who chooses me first then he chooses Jaehyo and a few other people who usually aren't picked because they aren't seen as popular. We go to our side of the court and the game starts we all doing our best when suddenly a ball comes straight for my face I letting out a surprised squeak and shut my eyes tightly. Only to cautiously open them when I don't feel anything hit me and I notice a boy I've never seen before but that's admittedly very attractive holding the ball that's inches away from my face. "Thank you so much." He gives me a kind smile. "You're welcome." He then takes the ball and throws it with perfect accuracy to hit Beomseok who tried to mess up my face. I gape a little impressed. "Wow you have a good arm." He smiles as he throws another ball. "Thanks. I'm Brett by the way. I just moved here." I smile kindly as I dodge some of the balls. "I'm Cyrus nice to meet you. Are you American?" He nods. "Yeah my sister and I were adopted by a Korean woman and moved here because of her career. What about you?" I hum before explaining. "I'm half American." He nods in understanding as he throws one last ball getting the last person on the opposite team out. Then the bell rings signaling that class is over with and I turn to Brett with a smile. "Well it was nice talking to you. Maybe we'll have more classes together." He smiles kindly at me. "Maybe. It was nice speaking to you Cyrus. Bye." I wave at him as he leaves then I go to change only to slam straight into Minhyuk and Jaehyo once I exit the bathroom I looking at them confused because they don't look very happy. "Everything alright?" They both give each other a look before turning back to me Minhyuk saying with distaste. "Why were you so close with the new kid?" I blink a little and shrug. "His names Brett and he's really nice. He saved my face from being hit with a ball and he just moved here so I figured he could use a friend." Jaehyo gives a slight frown. "I'd be careful around him Cyrus you don't know what kind of guy he is." I immediately frown at that. "What I can't make friends with someone new?" They both shake their heads no protectively. "You never know what he'll try. He could be using you." Jaehyo agrees with Minhyuk. "Yeah or be trying to get you into bed." I gape at my best friends in disbelief. "Are you serious right now? He seems like a really nice guy and could probably use a friend since he just moved here. And I'm going to be his friend." Both of their expressions darken and Minhyuk says firmly. "No you're not Cyrus. We don't want you around him." I huff and say sassily. "Well too bad because I'm going to be his friend. Now I'm going to head to class I don't want to talk to you two right now." I storm off heading to my literature class where I'm surprised to see Brett I immediately heading over. "Hey do you mind if I sit with you?" He blinks in surprise but smiles and says reassuringly. "Of course not go ahead." I smile and sit beside him ignoring when Jaehyo enters the room he staring at me intently but I don't even look in his direction as I focus on Brett who seems to look between me and Jaehyo. "Is that your boyfriend or something because he's been glaring at me since he entered." I blush bright red and mumble a soft. "No he's one of my best friends but I'm not talking to either of the two right now." Brett tilts his head at me curiously. "Why not?" I huff a little. "They're being way too overprotective about me talking to you and it's annoying me." He seems to study me before looking curious. "I'm guessing you like one of them?" I blush in embarrassment before admitting quietly but loud enough for Brett to hear. "Both of them actually." Brett nods in understanding. "Triad couples are rare but they do happen. Have you told them how you feel yet?" I immediately shake my head no. "Definitely not. They'll probably think I'm a freak for liking them both." He gives me a sympathetic look before changing the subject. "Do you want to eat lunch together?" I smile and agree he giving me a kind smile. "And don't worry about me hitting on you or anything I have a boyfriend." I relax at that feeling relieved. "That's good to know." We then focus on class until the bell rings signaling lunch we both getting up and grab our things before we leave and head to the cafeteria where we eat together and laugh about things. I then learn that I share the rest of my classes with Brett so I sit with him and he walks me home at the end of the day I ignoring the multiple texts from both Minhyuk and Jaehyo. I exchange numbers with Brett then head inside to my room where I change, do homework and slowly fall asleep.
