Tough Girl's Sweetheart 25

Haeul POV

"Sehun ah, can you please start like, I don't know, reading your textbooks or study?" I ruffle Sehun's hair as we were walking in the school hallways,"I heard your exams are coming."

Sehun sigh and was patted on the back by Joonmyun. This maknae is always the big giant baby he is. He started whining about the boring teachers and hard homeworks which I'm sure aren't that hard but he was just being lazy.

"Study hard and noona will treat you a year worth of bubble tea,"I encourage," Provided you get B or above for all subjects."

"Do you really think that will motivate me?" Sehun turn to me with a blank face.

"Oh that wasn't just it," I smirk,"I'll introduce you to Hani's group of friends if you got all B. PLUS the bubble tea. How bout that?"

Sehun stops in his track while Joonmyun was shaking his head and laughing. Sehun turn to me with the most epic surprised face ever.

"You swear on that? You not lying right? How do you even know them?" Sehun clings onto my hand.

"Of course. I never back out on my promises. And of course I would know all of them, my friend is Hani!" I swore.

"Noona, I better get to class now," And with that, Sehun ran down the corridor to his class. Of course, no boy would resist to get to know our top beauties in school.

"Sehun doesn't even work hard when I said that he should for my sake. But he is so enthusiastic when you mentioned girls,"Joonmyun pouts as we walk hand in hand to class.

"Of course he would oppa. He is a young hormone raged teenager," I said and laugh,"You too oppa. Will you work hard if I said I will reward you for every A you get?"

"Uh...maybe? Based on your rewards." Joonmyun shyly admits with a blush on his face.

"What do you want from me then? Or what is it that you want me to do?" I ask teasingly while getting closer to him,"I'll do it for you."

"W-we should g-get to class," And with that he sprint down the hall with me chasing after him while giggling.

We both got to class and sat at our usual table at the back. I pull out my chair to sit but i came across a white envelope instead. I pick it up and there was just a piece of paper with a short note written on it.

Meet me at the rooftop Kwon Haeul.
-K 

I sigh and crumple the piece of paper and envelope. I turn to my right to see Joonmyun preparing his usual routine of writing down today's date on his notebook pages. I look at the crushed paper in my hand and made my mind on seeing this person. No point avoiding.

"Oppa, I'm going to the toilet for a while. Help me take down notes?" I asked.

"Yeah sure," Joonmyun agreed,"You alright?"

"Yeah I am,"I lied.

I stood up and got out of class. I walk towards the toilet direction and made a right turn to the stairs leading up to the rooftop. I stop outside the door and look at my still bandaged left arm. If there was a fight, I hope it doesn't affect my left arm. But on the other hand, I don't think a fight would break out since we're in school. What are you really here for Kris? I push the door open and look around the rooftop. I stop when my eyes spot a tall figure by the edge looking down. Damn he is as tall as Chanyeol....

"You came here faster than expected Haeul-sshi," The guy still stood facing over the building while i stood about 2 meters away from him.

"Better get this done and over with Kris-sshi. i don't like skipping classes," I said with a smirk.

"I see you already know who I am," he turn around," Then you should know why then."

"Look, I know she is a part of your bloodline but she doesn't know. You can't just expect to suddenly barge into her life like this and bring her back to your country when she just started to live normally. You just can't. She is a human with a living heart and mind. She has been hurt too many times. Can't you guys just leave her alone?" I went straight to the point.

"I know,"Kris was surprisingly calm,"That's why I came here to talk to you."

"Okay then. What is your real purpose of bringing her over to China anyway? You guys lived well without knowing her," I bluntly stated.

"There is one thing you didn't know Haeul-sshi,"Kris walk towards the couch and I followed,"Huifen was my grandfather's only daughter. And now, my grandfather is at his death bed. He is dying and his only last wish is to see his only granddaughter. Maybe it was a curse onto our family but daughters are rare in our bloodline. Only one female will emerge in one generation. So this is the reason why."

"How do I know that you aren't lying to me?"I narrow my eyes on him,"No offense but I don't trust you honestly."

"I'm asking your permission for me to get to know her. Give me 5 days to get her opinion. I promise, if by the 5th day she doesn't want to go with me to China then I must give up. This is all that I asked for," Kris said with determination in his eyes.

Should I give him the chance?

Joonmyun POV
"And that is how you find y in this equation class. For homework, please do questions 2, 7 and 9. Due date is next week. That's all for today class!" Mr Jung our math teacher ended our math class while everyone groan in agony at the mention of homework.

I turn to my left to see it empty. Where is Haeul? Mr Jung has ended his period and she still isn't here. As soon as Mr Jung exited the class, Haeul walk in and sat down beside me. I turn to her to see her looking serious and tensed in a way. I extend my hand and held her hand. She jump slightly from my touch and turn to me with a sheepish smile.

"You alright?"I ask while she look down at our interlocked hands.

"I....Uh...."Haeul seems to hesitate for the right words,"Can we talk about this later at home?"

"Sure, but are you alright? You not hurt or anything right?" I nod but still scan her body for any injuries or what so ever. Haeul can be so unpredictable at times.

"I'm fine. Don't worry," she assured me.

Our next class starts and the both of us focus as our Science teacher talks about the different formulas. The whole day was a drag as teachers kept on giving us revision questions. By the time school ended, I almost forgot what happened this morning that is till Haeul brought it up when we were in the car. We were both seating in the car, about to make our way home, when she said something.

"Can I go my parents house today? I got something to talk to Daehyun and Soyoung too," Haeul turn to me with a serious look.

"I'm fine. But is everything alright? Since this morning, you have been quite deep in thoughts I must say," I ask in concern.

"I'll tell you now then,"Haeul started," Actually, this morning I met up with Soyoung's oldest Chinese cousin at the rooftop. He called me out to talk about Soyoung. I got to know recently too that Soyoung's mother is Wu Huifen, the last daughter from the Wu clan."

"Wait...." I interrupt her,"WU CLAN? As in that WU CLAN?"

"Yes! That Wu clan. I was as shocked as you. No lie," Haeul exclaims,"As I was saying, this cousin of her wants to bring her back to China to see her dying grandfather that I'm sure she never knew she had one. But problem is, Soyoung doesn't even know who she is, who they are or how she is connected to them. Her cousin, name Kris, is asking me to give him 5 days to persuade her. What do you think?"

"Hmm... This is quite...complicated I must say," I said with a frown.

"I know right!" Haeul eagerly agrees.

"I think you should talk to Soyoung first. Know how she feels about this then can you weigh the options of letting him meet her or not. I think Kris meant good. The dying man in China just wants to see his unknown granddaughter. It's a beautifully thing I think," I voice out my honest opinion," Plus you gotta know that Soyoung is capable of making her own decisions. She should decide herself."

"You're right," Haeul agrees with a thoughtful look on her face,"Wahhh my husband is so smart!"

"Nah... Just normal," I deny shyly.

"Thank you," Haeul said and peck my cheek.

"You're welcome," I smile widely.

"Your cheeks are red again~" she tease me,"Want more kisses oppa?~"

​"Stop joking around!" I laugh and start to drive out of the school,"I'm driving you know."

"I see," And her hands went to my thigh.

"HAEUL AH!" I exclaim.

"Waeee? I'm not doing anything!" she pulls back her hand and acts all innocent.

I turn to her and she smile back sheepishly. I sigh and just continue driving. This girl...


Haeul POV
"Unnie, I want to meet Kris," Soyoung said after I told her whole family background.

"You sure?" I ask skeptically.

"Kwenchana, I'll go with her if that is what you are worried about," Daehyun assured.

"He can come here if he wants to. I'm okay as long as it is just him," appa said and omma nods in agreement."

"I think that can be arranged," I nod," Soyoung ah, I know that you are capable of making your own decisions and you should get this chance to get to know someone from your mother side but unnie just want you to be careful. I'm here for you whenever you want."

"Don't worry unnie. Even if I got to know them, I will always return here. You guys are my family," Soyoung said and I couldn't resist to hug her,"Thank you."

"Anything for you sis,"Daehyun pat her head.

Since it was nearing to dinner, Joonmyun agrees to stay till dinner. So now I'm dragging him up my room while Daehyun and Soyoung are still talking to each other downstairs. I open my old room and smile as I remembered my 'single' days, though I don't have much memories. I ran and jump onto my old bed. Oh my, how different does this feel!

"I see why you love sleeping so much," Joonmyun said as he took a seat on my fluffy bed.

I just hum in agreement and close my eyes, feeling the good old days of me jumping into bed after training. I open one eye to see him looking around my room in fascination. I might not be a normal girl, but I'm still a girl. My walls were coated with violet paint. A must have in every girl's room, Polaroid pictures. I had a wall just dedicated for photos of my loved ones. I smile as I remember that I had took a picture of Joonmyun secretly before and paste it there. That was like way before our engagement. I shot up when I realized that he is here and the possibility of him finding that is big. I can feel myself wanting to hide in a hole or somewhere when I shot up of bed just to see him holding that picture of him and studying it.

"When did you take this? I don't remember you taking  picture of me," Joonmyun ask as he held up that picture.

It was a picture of him reading a book in the library. His hair was still black and still in that awful bowl cut. His usual geeky specs covering his face as sunlight was gently glowing behind him while reading. He looked like an angel at that time and I couldn't resist to capture it secretly using my phone.

"Oh that," I scratch my neck in embarrassment," Didn't I tell you? I like you way before our engagement. And that is a living proof."

"Really?" Joonmyun look at me in such disbelief,"I didn't know you liked me that much to secretly take a picture of me."

"Yeah I did," I look down in embarrassment.

I felt the bed move and I look up to see him sitting in front of me smiling brightly. I smile back. I saw the picture still in his hand so I quickly took it and put in my pocket. Joonmyun laughs as I felt my face still ablaze from embarrassment. How could I forget about that picture!

"I didn't know my wife is my stalker fan," Joonmyun teased.

"Your ex-wife. If you gonna keep on teasing me about this than it ain't going to be 'my wife'," I joked and he gasp dramatically.

"Alright~ Sorry baby~," he cooed.

"Did you just call me baby?" I ask in shock.

"Uh yeah? Why? You don't like it?" Joonmyun ask in worry.

"Aniyo!" I deny," I like it!"

"I'll call you baby then,"he said casually. Wahhh my shy husband really did evolve....

I reach out to him and put my whole body weight onto him for a hug. We almost fall off the bed if it wasn't for his hands gripping my waist. I laugh and he laugh too. We both played around as he finds everything I own fascinating.

"Ah, let's take a picture!" I suggests when I saw my poloraid camera laying by my table.

"Okay!" Joonmyun got off the bed and sat beside me.

"1,2," I position the camera facing us,"3!"

The flash went on and I swear we both went  blind for a moment. The photo came out and I smile as I saw it. We looked so natural and the best wasn't about us both smiling widely but it was Joonmyun looking at me lovingly while I did a silly face. He took the picture from my hand and took snap of it using his phone. I take back the picture and paste it on the bed headboard.

"Well at least now you ask instead of secretly taking pictures of me," Joonmyun joked again.

"I'm leaving," I said and walk towards the door. Even though I said it seriously, I couldn't help but to smile as I pretend to be upset.

"I'm just joking!" Joonmyun shouts from behind me," Aw don't be mad baby~"

"Whatever," I said seriously but since my back was facing him, I smile widely towards the door.

"Okok I'm sorry~ Please don't be mad Haeul ah," he apologize sincerely.

I turn to him and just gave him the tongue out face while running out. From behind I can hear him chasing after me and suddenly a pair of arms grab me from behind. He didn't only just caught me, he lift me up too and spins around.

"Alright oppa. I forgive you! AHH let me down!" I shouted as he spun us around.

"Nah, I need my revenge," he said and finally let me down.

I came face to face with him as I felt the world still spinning. Fortunately he still had his arms around me or else I'll end up on the floor. I giggle as he kiss my forehead.

"Love you my pabo," I giggle as I stood up straight.

" Love you too baby," Joonmyun said as he watch me struggle to get my balance back.

From the corner of my eyes I saw my father smiling as he watches us. Don't worry Appa, for now I am happy...
