Runaway Princess #1: BTOB Hyunsik ✔

Chapter 8

JUNE'S POV

I yawned and stopped cross-stitching when I received a message from Donggeunㅡ the only person in my contacts.

Do you think I should buy that hot girl a drink?

I grinned and typed a reply.

me: WTF. Are you in a nightclub? It's so late!

geunie: yeah soooo... should i buy her a drink? and by the way who are u to talk like that when u replied me at 4 am

me: hm, maybe. but maybe you should head home. don't drink too much

geunie: sigh. we miss you here, junhee

me: who do you mean by we?

geunie: me, sungjae, our other friends. idiot.

me: yah watch your drunk mouth. don't you dare spill something about me

geunie: pffffft! i wont of course! sungjae's coming. bye!

I didn't even know Sungjae goes clubbing. He's always been the goody-goody type. Donggeun, instead, is carefree. His family is one of the richest in our town. They're successful business men but he doesn't have much image to protect because everyone else's eyes were on me and Sungjaeㅡ our famous love affair.

My eyes ached as if they've gone dry. I looked outside and the sun was almost rising. The clock says it was half past four in the morning. I felt my eyes grew heavier until I couldn't hold back myself from sleeping anymore.

I woke up with the cross-stitch pattern in my hand. It's almost done. I sat down and waited for my vision to get clearer before starting it again.

It was almost two o'clock when I got up and put the finished product in a frame I bought from downtown too.

I took my toothbrush and headed out of my room.

While brushing my teeth, I heard sudden noises of laughters and male voices outside the bathroom. I stopped what I was doing and eavesdropped.

"Do we really only get to see your house every year on your birthday?"

"Anyway, it's glad to see it again. Have you found a boarder?"

"Yes."

"Oh, where is he?"

"It's a she." said Haeseong.

"Harabeoji!" They chorused.

"How are you?"

"It's a girl? Is she pretty?"

I froze and I was suddenly reluctant to go out there in my baggy shirt and sleeping shorts and messy hair.

I sighed and finished brushing my teeth. I stood inside the bathroom, not knowing what to do when I heard a knock.

"June, is everything ok?" Hyunsik's familiar deep voice asked. I sighed in relief.

I opened the door and his eyes scanned my whole body. He arched an eyebrow and said, "I knew you'd be like this."

"Are they... in the living room?" I asked hesitantly.
