[ Jackson & Joohyo ]
Jackson plugged out his earpiece after hearing the bell. It was time for lessons, but he just didn't want to see Hazel and Mark tease each other again. He swapped places with Jr and now he sat behind Hazel. He could see very clearly see Mark's little actions. Mark would pretend to drop his pen under Hazel's table and as they both bend down, Mark would sneak a little kiss before getting up. When the teacher was not looking, Mark would also rest his head on Hazel's shoulder and sometimes smell her hair.
Jackson wanted the best for his honey, he adored her, but his heart hurts a little everytime he saw such an image.
honey, i really hate myself. For being so selfish, for being so fucked up. I dont know why I wish you and Mark could quarrel sometimes too..but I know it would hurt you...but...i...Im sorry, Im such a jerk.
Jackson hit his thigh as he got up from the rooftop bench.
As he walked, he heard a familiar voice.
"Jackson!"
He turned back. He smiled.
He saw Joohyo.
The girl who he grew up with, the daughter of his father's business partner, the very gorgeous girl.
He used to love her, but his heart did not hurt anymore when he saw her.
FLASHBACK
3 years ago...
"JINJA?? SONG JOOHYO IS HERE??"
"joohyo unnie!!"
"so gorgeous"
"My idol"
"Kyeopta!!"
Jackson came out of the limousine. The corner of his lips perked up as he got ready his hand.
A blue shoe touched the floor.
Spontaneously, shrieks and cheers filled the area.
Glamourously, Joohyo touched down. She held onto jackson's arm and they entered the ballroom.
It was the annual students dinner. Everyone was dressed up beautifully, but no one outshone Joohyo.
Jackson was proud to be holding on to his goddess, his beloved.
Her long silky hair danced beside her cheeks as her peachy lipstick made her look ever so desirable.
Jackson stared into her beautiful eyes, he was ever so attracted.
To him, she was his world.
Since young, she accompanied him. Their parents did not allow them to have other friends as they were afraid the kids would get hurt by poor commoners. They only had each other. And they were in the same situation. They knew how each other felt. Everytime, when Jackson's father objected to his dream of being an singer, he would argue with him and sometimes he would leave the house. When he had nowhere to stay, she let him in. When he needed to cry, she embraced him. Through the many lonely days when his parents were at work, she accompanied him. She was gorgeous, lovely, sweet, and caring.
At least she was, to him.
She had a boyfriend in grade 9, but it turned out he took her virginity and demanded ransom from her father.
Ever since then, she decided to put on a hard shield. She masked her true self, and showed a strong, tough girl. In school, to everyone else, including her father who refused to pay the ransom, forcing her to escape by herself, she was a scary figure. To the world, she eas glamorous, gorgeous, intelligent, yet not to be messed with. She escaped her kidnappers by seducing them and drugging them in bed, and ever since, she had became so tough. Her father never really bothered about her since he blamed his wife's death on her. And just like Jackson, they only had each other. To the world, she was a player, a winner, a goddess. She had the perfect proportions, sexy figure, and angel face. She played with handsome guys all she liked, went to pubs and she never got below second in level for her grades. She was a role model, and at the same time, a untouchable.
But to Jackson, she was still gentle, beautiful and caring.
Jackson looked into Joohyo's soul.
I'm the only one in the world who knows Song Joohyo, the real Song Joohyo. And I am so honoured. Because, she is so gorgeous. As the world continues to misunderstood her, I would continue to love her, because the true her, is so beautiful.
Joohyo sensed that Jackson was in a daze. She stopped.
She gently kept her hair behind her ears as she turned to him.
"Baby what's wrong? Come on." She kissed his cheek and smiled sweetly.
No one found it unusual since she was perceived to be a player.
He looked straight into her pupils.
He blushed a little and looked around desperately as he blinked profusely.
She chuckled.
"Come onn" she tugged him.
They both entered the ballroom.
Coincidentally, it was also Joohyo's birthday.
Jackson grabbed the mike. Her peck beforehand had gave him more courage.
"Song Joohyo! Saranghaeyo. Will you be mine?" He shouted out.
He then froze there as he looked at her desperately. He was so nervous.
Joohyo, I finally said it. I cant describe how much i adore you because I don't want them to know about the real you. But i know you know. Many times when I cuddle you to sleep, I kiss your forehead and I tell you I love you. You always thought it was a joke, but I'm serious now.
Joohyo looked at Jackson as her eye sockets was filled with tears.
Baby I know this day was coming...I knew you felt something for me, just like how I felt something for you. After that incident, I only broke down to you, I only showed my vulnerability to you. I...I love you. You are so beautiful, you are so pure , so innocent. You may be angry with your father at times but, you have such a pure heart. You crave affection, and you know i crave it too. You hugged me to sleep everyday after that incident. When i was kidnapped and my father refused to pay the ransom you stole your parents money for me. Although you failed and got locked up for months, you refused food and water until your parents let you see me. I was touched since then, and I loved you ever since. But not now. Why did you confess now?
Now, I can't. My father needs my help in the states, I hate him but he threatened to hurt your family. I must go. I will go. It might take months, years, or even tens of years. I can't let you wait for me.
You are beautiful, I am wasted. I slept with too many men, I am dirty Jackson. I don't deserve you.
Joohyo kept her tears in as she decided to put on an act.
She lugged a suitor's neck and kissed him. She then pushed him aside.
"Jackson darling, don't be silly. Don't be another one for me to reject. Or i could play with you if you want. Baby my hotel room is just upstairs. " she giggled.
The entire ball room started to laugh along.
"Get lost stupid!"
"Who are you?"
"I heard he's a virgin! Joohyo sunbae, take me, I have better tricks!"
Jackson was lost for words.
He trembled and the mike dropped from his hands.
He heard his breathing go faster and faster as his face got redder.
And finally, his heart accepted the words she said.
He ran off the stage and out of the room.
Joohyo immediately let go of the guy she was hugging.
-
Ever since then, Jackson became a playboy as well. He played with girls and went to pubs. He never thought he would meet another girl so worthy of his true love, until he met Hazel.
Hazel, was so different.
And because of her, he became to his true self as well.
