My Swag Boy Pt. 2: Forgotten Love

021

[Do Hee's POV]
Ever since the holidays started two weeks ago, I've been craving excitement & adventure. And rock climbing is this 'excitement & adventure'. I don't wanna go to a rock climbing centre. I just wanna climb up on any rock wall I see.

I wish I can do that on my birthday~ *laughs*

"Why do you always smile when you see a rock wall?" I laughed at the tone Suga used.

"Can I climb it?" I asked like a child asking her mum for ice cream. "No! Why da hell would you wanna climb it?!"

"Geez... relax~" I take slow steps to the wall and placed my hand against it. "I'm gonna do it." "No." He sternly replied with a poker face.

"Why~? I won't get hurt. I'm the one climbing it anyway. Unless you wanna climb it too." He shake his head. I lifted myself on to the wall from the ground and started to climb higher.

But I hopped off the wall when I was two meters from the ground, feeling the fear of heights and getting hurt slipping into my head.

"That was fun." "You didn't even climb that high." "Still fun." I smiled before walking off. "Aren't you gonna help me?" "With what?"

He lifted the grocery bags in his hands up. "Oh... right... haha..." I held out my hand & reached for the bags but Suga pulled the bags further from me. "Let the man do the work." He smirked.

"You're not that strong. You don't even have abs." He then scoffed. "I could show you my abs." "No! I mean. Don't. Geez... Calm down~" I looked at him with disgust. And brought my hand closer to the bags again.

"Didn't you hear me?" "Urgh... Fine!"

Someone plopped on to the couch beside me. And he grabbed my right wrist and pulled it closer to his mouth. He took a huge bite of the chocolate in my hand and smiled guiltlessly at me. "Soonyoung~~~!" I whined. Now half of my chocolate is gone! And I started stomping my feet. "Give me back my chocolate~~~!" I cried out.

I let out a tear. Then Soonyoung went crazy. "Ahh! Uljima(Don't cry)! Hansol will kill me!" I let out another tear, trying to hold back my laugh. "Ah, jebal(Please)! I won't eat your chocolate again! Yagsoghalge(I promise)!"

"Hoshi hyung... What happe- *gasp* You made Noona cry?!"

"Who made High.D cry?!" Other voices were heard. And soon, all of them surrounded me & Soonyoung, except Suga & Vernon. "Soonyoung! What did you do?!" "I didn't do anything!"

"What's going on here?" I heard Vernon's voice behind the boys. "Hoshi hyung made Noona cry!"

"Hyung~! Why did you make her cry?!" Vernon yowl.

"I did nothing!" I couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. "What's wrong with her? She was crying a second ago."

"You all were so funny, my tears had to fall from holding back my laughter, Seungkwan." I was still laughing.

"Yah! I got yelled at because of you!" "You deserve it anyway. You stole my chocolate." I took a bite of the candy in my hand. [Suga's POV]
I can't let Vernon win. I can't let him have Do Hee. I won't let him.

I scanned Do Hee's room. Thinking of a way to catch Do Hee's attention... and Heart...

I've got her birthday & Christmas gifts with me now. But I can't possibly give them to her right now.

Vernon would be pissed off if he sees Do Hee with me. So I'll make sure Do Hee is right beside me, everytime.

~Next Day~
[High.D's POV]
I spotted three girls from my university and they were staring at me like they've just tastes blood. As the boys & I walked pass those girls, I heard hurtful words that I've haven't in a while.

"Isn't that High.D?" "Why are there so many handsome boys beside her?" "She's done playing with Woozi. Those boys must be her new toys. Duh~ Slut, selling her body just like that... Does she ever feel guilty?" "She must have no ability to feel. Haha!"

They started laughing loudly, attracting the boys attention. When the girls' eyes met with the boys', they winked at them, biting their lips, trying to seduce the boys.

My face had disgust written everywhere. When the girls' eyes found mine, they smirked and giggled. "She's must be jealous..." "I thought she was emotionless?" "Oh yea. How could I forget that? I pity thos-"

"Are you done ranting nonsense?" I was astonished by the way Joshua spoke to the girls. He was always gentle, considerate and polite. But now, he's like a bad boy that wants to pick a fight with someone. Well, kind of... He looks like he's trying hard to be like a bad boy, in front of the girls. *chuckles* That's cute... And his voice went so deep. I never knew his voice would be that low & husky.

"High.D is not such person. She isn't the girl you've just described.-" "That's enough, Josh." I held on to his left shoulder.

"Wow~ She even called him Josh when he's real name is Joshua." The girl in the middle whispered to the one on her right. "Ever heard of nicknames?" Oooh~ Burn~ The two girls beside the one in the middle giggled. I accidentally let out a soft chuckle which lead to the the girl in the middle looking daggers at me.

I cleared my throat right away, then said "I'm so sorry. Don't mind him." I laughed nervously with my cheeks burning up. "Let's go, Josh." I pulled him away and the last thing I heard from the girls were "That apology is so fake."

I let out a fake smile. It's fine. I said it in my head. I shouldn't care of what others say about me. I'm satisfied with who I am. If they aren't contented with my existence, then it's their problem. I know that, what they said about me weren't true at all. I would've changed for the better if they were true. They were judging a book by it's cover.

Then I recalled the times when I was still in high school, just a few months before I left for New York...

I'll just have to bear with the spiteful comments about me and continue on with life. Carry a smile with you everytime, and everywhere you go, was what I always tell myself. Even if it's a fake one. It somehow made me feel better.

I pushed my thoughts out of my mind and looked at the boys for a few seconds. They were quiet. I guess they knew I needed to reflect on myself. I faked another small smile when I saw many other female teenagers looking at us like we were celebrities.

They were all gossiping, just like the girls in my high school. I breathed out a sigh. Wherever I go, gossips would follow me like my shadow. Right now, I wasn't used to hearing all these gossips.

Cuz I've been in New York for three years, and I was having a really peaceful life there. I've totally forgotten about the pain I've felt in Korea that time. Now that I'm back in Korea, these sudden cruel comments about me became so foreign.

I brought myself back to reality again when I felt something warm on my left hand. I was no longer holding on to Joshua. So my right palm was a little sweaty. I turned to my left to find Suga looking down at me with a warm smile. I smiled back, reassuring him that I'm fine.

~TBC~

A/N: I'll be on a hiatus till 18 Dec.
