Love In Deception | P.SH |

003

Eunhee's heart was racing as she walked out of the classroom with Sunghoon. She couldn't believe she had agreed to date him, especially after he had threatened her.

As they walked down the hallway, Eunhee sighed in relief that he asked her out after the school ended. There wasn't many students in the hallway, but the ones there were whispering looking at them.

Probably thinking why a nerd like me is walking beside him.

She felt like she was in a dream, and everything was happening too fast.

Sunghoon didn't say a word to her until they reached the school gates. "I'll pick you up at 5 pm tomorrow," he said, his voice cold and detached.

Eunhee nodded, still trying to process what was happening. "Okay," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

As Sunghoon turned to leave, Eunhee called out to him. "Sunghoon, wait!"

He turned around, his eyes narrowing. "What is it?"

"Why are we doing this?" Eunhee asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

Sunghoon's expression didn't change, but his eyes seemed to flash with amusement. "You'll find out soon enough," he said, before turning and walking away.

Eunhee watched him go, feeling like she was trapped in a nightmare. What had she gotten herself into?

As she walked home, Eunhee couldn't shake off the feeling that she was in over her head. She had a feeling that this relationship was something more than that, more like they are acting.

And she was right.

As Eunhee walked home, she couldn't concentrate on anything. Her mind got lost somewhere for the rest of the day. Her mind kept wandering back to Sunghoon's sudden proposal.

Why had he asked her out? And why had he looked so intense?

As she walked home, Eunhee couldn't help but feel a flutter in her chest. She never thought Sunghoon would have interest in someone like her. She was never interested in someone, she never had interest especially someone like Sunghoon. He was way out of her league, and now he was interested in her?

When she arrived home, Eunhee's mom noticed  the weird expression on her face. "What's wrong, dear? You look like you're carrying a rock on your back."

Eunhee sighed, unsure if she should share the news. But she decided not to. Her mom definitely wouldn't allow her to date. Instead she decided to hide it with a lie.

"Just the studies, mom" Eunhee said.

Eunhee's mom nodded, concern etched on her face. "Make sure you don't overwork yourself, dear. You need to take care of your health too."

Eunhee nodded, feeling a pang of guilt for lying to her mom. But she knew she had to keep her relationship with Sunghoon a secret, at least for now.

As she went to her room, Eunhee couldn't help but think about Sunghoon's mysterious words. "You'll find out soon enough."

What did he mean? Was there more to this relationship than met the eye?

Eunhee's mind was racing with questions, but she knew she had to wait until tomorrow to get some answers.

Little did she know, Sunghoon was having a very different conversation with Jake and Jay.

"Dude, you're genius!" Jake exclaimed, high-fiving Jay.

Sunghoon rolled his eyes. "Just remember, this is just a dare. Don't expect anything real."

Jay grinned. "We won't, but you never know, maybe you'll fall for her."
