Love In Deception | P.SH |

002

Eunhee started her day settling into her usual routine. Studying in the library, eating her lunch at a quiet table, and attending classes with focus and determination. Her life was predictable, and she liked it that way.  Meanwhile, Jake and Jay were struggling to stay awake during the boring lecture.

As the class ended an idea struck Jake. He then nudged Jay and whispered, "I've got an idea." "Which is?" Jay questioned while packing his bag.

"Let's play Truth or Dare."

With that statement Jay's eyes snapped open, and he grinned. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" "Yeah, I think we think same" Jay then glanced at Sunghoon. "You know Sunghoon will never agree on this."

But Jake was undeterred. "Oh, come on. It'll be fun. And who knows, maybe we'll get to see Sunghoon  loosen up for once." "You think so?" "Maybe."

Just then, Sunghoon, who was sitting across from them, looked up from his notes. "What's going on?"

Jay hesitated, but Jake jumped in. " Tell ya tomorrow."

Sunghoon raised an eyebrow. "You know what? I think there's something going on your brain."
Saying that he took his bag and went outside the classroom with everyone, calling it a day.

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

The next day started with Sunghoon not changing his words and Jake being persistent as well. "Come on, Sunghoon. It'll be fun. And we promise, no one will get hurt."

"What the hell is wrong with you guys !?"Sunghoon asked, a little frustrated with those two who were sitting across him.

"What ? Its just a dare bro. You just need to do what we told you. So simple." Jay spouted taking Jake's side.

"Simple? Is it that simple to fake date someone, especially that topper? I told you, if I choose dare it has to be something less humiliating." Sunghoon sighed.

Jake and Jay exchanged a look. "It is less humiliating. You just have to ask her on a date. If she says yes, its easy, but if she says no... just make her fall for you. Make he believe it's real, and if you feel bored, then dumb her." Jay told, already planning their next move. "Nope, I'm never going to do that"

Even though he denied to do the dare, Jake and Jay  never left him alone. They were relentless the whole day, until finally, Sunghoon agreed.

⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅⑅EUNHEE'S

When it was time for lunch, Eunhee was about to make way to the library but, she stopped when she saw Jake and Jay giggling, whispering and glancing at her. That made her wondering if they are talking about her, but she shaked it off thinking  she must have mistaken, Until she saw jay smiling at her. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly escaped that air and sat at a corner of the library which was her usual spot.

Jay smiled at her? She must have mistaken again right? Yeah, he must have been smiling to someone behind her, even if he was smiling at her, she knew it won't be a genuine one.. he's a flirt ofcourse. Even though she tried to shake off the thoughts in her head, it didn't leave her alone. She kept having Little moments with them the past few days. Yup, she need to stay away from them

I really need to...

To move on from her silly thoughts, Eunhee's eyes scanned the library, searching for a distraction. That's when she saw Sunghoon, sitting across from her, his eyes fixed on his notes.

Taking his orbs, he looked over to where she was sitting. She was a bit stunned seeing him there, but later calmed down seeind a hint of shock in his eyes. Seeing this is a corner where nobody usually spend time, he must have choosen this spot for that, and seeing someone in this place would make her startled too.

But as she returned to her studies, Eunhee couldn't help but sneak glances at Sunghoon. She wondered what he was like, beyond his ice cold eyes and piercing gaze, but she pushed those thoughts aside and focused on her studies. Sunghoon was out of her league, and she had no business thinking about him.

As the library started to close, Eunhee packed up her things. She noticed sunghoon had already left and there is no one around her now. She fastened her steps to the class not wanting to get news like 'the class topper bunked class and hid in the library', since she already knew she was late because the library was already closing. The library would only close after 10 minutes since the bell rang.

To her luck the teacher hadn't showed up the whole class leaving them with a free period. Their happiness didn't last long as the maths teacher came to class saying history teacher was on leave that day. Everyone was super bored for the whole class but not Eunhee, she was super focused on each and every problems the teacher is solving on board.

She was focused but her mind wasn't at ease.
Little did she know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn today.

The Bell rang indicating the class ended. Some students walked out of the class, but some stayed there chatting, packing bags and all.

Eunhee, sitting on her seat, packing bag, yelped when she heard a cold yet hard voice calling her name. She also noticed, the class suddenly fell into silence. Standing up, she turned to where that voice came, only to see the one and only Park sunghoon standing behind her.

Eunhee widening her eyes, felt like her whole world got stuck somewhere.

"Let's date"

What...?

She was frozen, almost every students were watching them. Her face began to heat up and hands were sweating out of nervousness. She could here some of the students gasping and whispering.

"W-What?"

"I said let's date" Sunghoon repeated.

He came closer to her face and whispered "Don't even think about rejecting" It sounded threatening that it gave her goosebumps.

Can't reject it...

Now she can hear gasping because he came closer to her.

Her heart was pounding like crazy. The more she look at his eyes, the more she felt felt burning inside.

"... Okay" She replied very quietly that it almost felt like a whisper.

Sunghoon's expression remained icy, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

Eunhee knew she was going to regret her decision later. She knew agreeing was going to be the worst decision. She hated the fact that she agreed on this so easily.

What can she do, he looked soo scary that time.

★

And with that, the fake relationship began.
