His Paws On My Palms [DoShin]

CHAPTER 14: TAMING THE WILD

𝙔𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍𝘿𝘼𝙔, I skipped my afternoon class and went straight to my teachers to give them my excuse note. I fibbed about having a family emergency because the truth was I just didn't want to be around Shinyu.

No matter how many times I told him to back off, he kept making me uncomfortable. He acts all high and mighty, and thinking about our past run-ins just ticks me off. I've had it; I'm so mad. Just because he's Mr. Popular doesn't mean he can keep bugging me.

Now, it's early in the morning, and I don't know how I am going to face him, to face my classmates after what happened. For sure, they hate me now, after all, I pushed the one and only most popular guy on campus.

"Good morning!" It was Youngjae; I found him drinking his morning tea outside.

"Hi," I responded.

"The cat returned here last night, he was outside your door when I found him."

"I'm sorry, I went straight to sleep yesterday," I explained.

Thankfully, the cat was safe. If Youngjae was not here, I don't know what to do.

"It's okay, I didn't knock on your door so you can rest."

"Thank you, Youngjae."

Youngjae is such a sweet guy. I wish we could go to the same school so I wouldn't have to worry about anyone. I just realized I'm getting more and more comfortable around him.

"Are you okay?" he suddenly asked, catching me off guard.

"I'll be fine, it's just school stuff"

"You know, you can always talk to me; I'll wait for you."

"Thanks! I have to go now."

"Take care!"

As usual, I rode my bike again; it was still early. Considering the fact that I caused a commotion yesterday, it's better to arrive first than witness people's stares at me.

I parked my bicycle, and at that moment, I knew I was the first person at school. I wasn't even expecting Jay to be there already. And when I reached the classroom, I was right; Jay was not there. I sighed heavily as I watched the empty seats.

As I stepped into the classroom, I was startled by a sudden voice. At first, I was scared, but as soon as I recognized the voice, my emotions were dominated by anger.

"Dohoon..."

It's him again!

I didn't bother looking at him; all I wanted was to reach my seat and sit there in silence.

"Can we talk?" he stated, which stopped me from taking more steps. I sighed, rolled my eyes, and decided to confront him.

"Is there anything to talk about between us?"

"Dohoon, about yesterday-"

"Look, I get you're popular, and people let you do whatever, but I'm not having it," I cut him off, starting to vent.

"I'm not even sorry for shoving you. Do you expect an apology? What if I don't? You gonna use your status to kick me out?"

"Dohoon, let me talk first."

"Shinyu, just stay away from me. You do you, and I'll do me."

I tried to chill, not wanting to start the day on a bad note. Even though seeing him already messed it up, I didn't want to make it worse.
