Dramatically | BL

11 - My name

IN-WOO'S POV

Ommo!!! He has seen it. Does he stay active whole day? How can he be faster than light? I played my video for the 200th time, but this time imagining how would Jae react on it. Ah! it is so embarrassing. Why did I pout like a puppy???? CRINGE AS HELL!

He is not going to spare my life tomorrow. But I really think he is a charming senior, obviously with a bad personality. He is talented, smart, good-looking, only a fool won't idolize him. I wish I was half intelligent as him. That would have solved 8 out of 10 problems in my life. He is immature yet is able to carry so many responsibilities on his broad shoulders. He is annoying yet manages to look cute. He is homophobic yet appreciated the BL play we performed. He is so hard to understand.

I wonder if he still hates me or has forgiven me already? The first day I met him...He misunderstood my words as me pointing finger at his sexuality but I just meant to say that a true man would never insult a woman like this. In a matter of time, weird rumors started spreading. The whole college thought of him as gay and made fun of him. I wish he doesn't hold any grudge against me.

The worst part is I feel attracted to him. I don't want to develop any feelings for a person who can't reciprocate them. He has expressed his hatred for gays so many times. He is straight. Even when I kissed his cheek, I could tell how disgusted he was. Then why? why my heart wants him to look at me romantically? Argh!

It's not like he would 'dramatically' turn out to be bisexual or something!

At 5 pm,everyone gathered at the Theatre Room as instructed. The girls wore short dresses, high heels and all looked really pretty. As for the boys, we were simply dressed as we are on any other normal day. Slowly all the seniors started assembling too.

"Alright! I hope you all are done with the task. You all must be wondering why this task was assigned to you. You can consider it as a tradition of DramaSoc. We third years would soon graduate. So this is the only moment when you could flatter us with your cuteness or sexiness and remain in our good books for the whole year", Tae-Ho smiled.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Guys! Listen...the main thing is.....The senior to whom you shared your video, will become your partner for the night", Jun-Hee said in excitement. "But the twist is this is purely based on your luck. Third years! form a circle!"

All the third years quickly positioned themselves. Jun-Hee whispered something in Ga-Young's ears and stood between Jae and Tae-Ho in the circle. Ga-Young and some second years came holding bowls in their hands and stood infront of seniors. The third years picked one chit randomly from the bowl second years brought to them. Each bowl had chits of members who voted for that particular senior as their favourite. Min-Jae's bowl was overflowing with chits. Damn! Just how many did he get?

"Open and speak out the name aloud", Jun-Hee ordered. "I will go first! SEUNG-HO."

"JI-WON", Tae-Ho said.

Everyone announced their partners in similar pattern. Jae stood there playing with the closed chit. Well it's not like he would get a chit of my name unless he wrote my name in all the chits! LMAO!!

It was finally his turn. He opened the chit to look at the name. He said 'something' that caught me off guard. That 'something' was my name.

Everyone was quite surprised. Because they didn't expect a boy to send his cute/sexy video to another boy. Not to mention, him and I are dance partners for tonight now. But Jae didn't react to it much which was very unlikely of him.

"Those who couldn't got paired up with any senior are requested to find their partner among themselves only. We are leaving to the main venue in 5 minutes. The cabs are booked already", Tae-Ho said.

Why is Min-Jae so quiet today? He is not even giving us any orders. I have not heard him utter a word since he came. He is even avoiding eye contact with me. A few minutes later he stepped out of the room and I followed him.

"Jae?", I called out.

He turned back,"Hmm?"

"Is something wrong?", I asked with concern.

"What would be wrong?", he said.

"I mean. You don't look well today", I said.

He stayed silent for a while and said,"You are my partner for the night. Let's leave together in my car. Don't wait for the cab."

"Huh?", I was short of words. Is it the Jae I know? Is he offering to give me a ride? Like for real?

I just tagged along him without further QNA. Something is definitely wrong! Is he hurt or is he feeling guilty about something?

Once we were seated in the car, an awkward silence filled the air.

"What was that pink heart filter bubbling out of your head in that video?", he asked suddenly.

"I didn't know how to make a sexy video. Like did I have to show you my abs? You would have thrown up. The other option was cute video. But again I didn't know how to be cute, so, I thought maybe that filter would make me look cute. I know that was really cringe", I giggled.

"It was not", he smiled.

"Did you just smile? Did someone possess you today? The old Jae was not at all like this. Are you really the Park Min-Jae I know?", I said.

He didn't reply as usual. The whole ride became awkward again. He has a knack of killing the mood. We reached the bar exactly in 15 minutes.

I stepped out of the car and looked at the glittering name-board. Rosè Bar? The bar where my mother works?
