Y/N's P.O.V
"Come on Y/N stop being so secretive." My friend Haerin said. "Yeah just tell us who your mystery girl is. Its not like we'll try stealing her away or something." This time it was Eunchae who spoke up. Everyone else at the table started pestering me as well. "Stop being nosy." I jokingly chided. They all groaned but let go of the topic for now.
In all honesty I wanted to tell them, but Kyujin insisted on keeping things super private, almost secret. It probably wouldn't bother me as much if she told me why we had to be so secretive but she doesn't want to. Every time I ask she just changes the subject. I tried not to let it get to me, but the more it happened, the worse I felt. Today though I was putting my foot down, I needed to address this.
The lunch time bell finally rang. I sat in the pottery that had sort of become Kyujin and I's school meeting spot since no one came in here often during lunch. After about fifteen minutes she finally joined me. "Sorry I got held back in class." She apologized as she sat beside me. "Its fine. Since you're here..." Kyujin sat up properly, probably sensing that the conversation would be taking a serious turn. "Yeah what's up?" She asked nervously. "Nothing serious, don't worry. The summer dance is coming up right? Its just- well I was wondering... are we going together?" I noticed the slight shift in her expression, almost as if she was panicked by my question. "Y/N we can't." She answered. "Why not? We've been together for three going on four months. I'd understand if you were still closeted but you aren't so what's the problem Kyujin?" I asked, frustration seeping into my voice. "I know, I know. Its just.." She trailed of, fidgeting with the hem of her skirt. "Just what?" "My friends... it'll just-" She cut herself off with a clearly frustrated sigh. I pieced the pieces together by myself. "You're embarrassed of me?" I asked softly. I hoped she'd deny it and give me some other reason. Instead all I got in response was a pained expression and a sputtered reply. "Wow." I scoffed. "If I had known that was the reason you wanted to keep things 'private'" I said, putting air quotes around the word "private". "I would not have said yes when you asked me out." I grabbed my bag, storming out of the room.
Kyujin's P.O.V
I watched as Y/N stormed out of the room. My attempts at stopping her were futile. After all she was right. She didn't really conform like most and I was scared I would lose my popularity because of it. Vain, I know. There was nothing I could do to remedy the situation. No explanation that I could give that would make me seem less douchey.
~Time skip~
It was the end of the term and the day of the Summer Dance. I hadn't spoken to Y/N in a few months and I hated to admit how much it pained me. I couldn't help but wonder if she had a partner for tonight. I hoped she didn't. Even if we aren't together anymore, I still felt a pit of jealousy form in my stomach at the thought.
The night went on pretty well. Y/N seemed to be here with just her friends but I felt like she was getting too close to one them, Eunchae. Or maybe I was letting my jealousy get to me. But still I couldn't deny the fact that it bothered me. Right now they were dancing together. "Do they really have to be that close?" I thought to myself in annoyance as I glared at them. Y/N seemed to have caught me but just turned away which bothered me even more for some reason.
They were about to announce the Summer Dance king and queen. Usually I would be excited but right now I couldn't care less. I was too focused on Y/N and Eunchae and how unnecessarily touchy they were being. Eventually my jealousy got the better of me and I made my way over to them. "Stop flirting with her." I said to Y/N in annoyance. "Why? She can flirt with who she wants." Eunchae said. I could hear the announcer calling out the king and queen of the dance in the background, unsurprisingly I was called up, the spotlight being shone on where I stood with the two of them, but I didn't really care right now. I gritted my teeth at Eunchae's response. "Because I still like her and she can't be all over another girl right in front of me!" I said in frustration. "You do know the school just heard you say that right?" Y/N. "I don't care." I said as I crossed my arms. "Weren't you the one that was too embarrassed to be seen with me a couple of months ago?" I sighed as I heard her say that. "I admit that was douchey of me but I don't care anymore, popularity isn't worth losing you. Besides it won't matter when we get to college." I said, my voice full of regret. I saw her crack a smile which gave me hope that she'd be willing to forgive me. "So can we work through this?" I asked her. "I think we can." She said making me smile.
I couldn't help but lean in, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. The familiarity of it sending a flutter in my heart. I could tell she was a bit surprised but kissed back. Unfortunately our moment was interrupted by one of the chaperones making me remember where we were. I flushed in embarrassment at everyone's eyes on us but I didn't regret it. "Let's get out of here." Y/N suggested. "Gladly." I said, tugging her arm so we could leave the hall. I felt kind of lighter, like what I did symbolized me letting go off all the expectations. I smiled at Y/N, leaning my head on her shoulder. She smiled at me, squeezing my hand lightly. I was nervous about everyone's reactions next time at school but I had a feeling I could deal with it with Y/N by my side.
