Chapter Eleven (part 1.)

Areum's POV

"You know we left school about 15 minutes ago right? There is no one here... so you can let go now.." I said looking down at our intertwined hands. I tried wiggling my hand free from his, but that just made his grip even tighter.

"Why would I do that Jagi?" He said with a sly little smile on his face.

I stopped and turned to face him. "Alright, it's time to be a big boy and let go of mommy's hand." I said in a sarcastic voice. I used my other hand to free myself from JB's "grip of death." My hand was free all of 2 seconds... when suddenly I felt JB's hand take mine once again.

He patted my head with his free hand, "Areum, be a good girl and hold daddy's hand." He said with that damn smirk playing on his lips. We stand there for a couple seconds just looking at each other. Me, wanting to slap that pretty face of his, and him looking as though he needed to tell me something. "Areum," JB started to say, "I think..."

"JB!" Jackson interrupts with Mark following close behind him. "Yo man! What are you doing in this part of town?"

JB let go of my hand, and turned to greet Jackson. My eyes found there way to Mark who had been already looking at me. He nods his head in my direction, and I give him a small smile back. JB clears his throat and I look up at him. He returns to his spot beside me and grabs my hand once again. "I'm being a good boyfriend and walking Areum home." He answers Jackson. Mark lets out a small laugh under his breath.

"You? A good boyfriend?" Marks face turns from joking to serious as he questions JB. There had been a very noticeable tension between the two since we started talking. I felt JB hand tighten around mine.

"Let's go, Areum" JB started to turn us away from where Jackson and Mark were standing, "Talk to you later Jackson... Mark..."

As we get ready to walk away I pull on JB's sleeve to get his attention, "I need to start heading to work." I whispered, trying to make my voice to where only he could hear me. JB looks at me in confusion. "You work?" He asks. I hear Jackson start to laugh behind us. "JB," he manages to say in between laughs, "You didn't know your girlfriend has a job?"

JB turned around to face Jackson, "You didn't let me finish," JB looked at me. He looked as though his brain was running a million miles per hour trying to think of something to say. "I was going to say... You work...today?" I wanted to mentally face palm myself. How could this boy be considered a bad boy when he is dumber than shit...

"Um. Well..." I began.

"It's whatever, come on let's go then. Gotta get you to work." JB starts walking away and dragging me along with him. I hear Mark clear his throat.

"Areum's job is that way." Mark pointed in the direction opposite of where JB was leading us. "Whoa, how do you know that Mark?" Jackson asked. "Because, I've visited her at work before." Mark answered while looking over at where I was standing.

JB's POV

Now... NOW Mark is really starting to piss me off. I understand he is in love with the girl but I'm the one dat... I mean... fake dating her right now.

I let go of Areum's hand and slip my arm around her waist. I ignore the look Mark is giving me and start leading Areum in the right direction. After we walk a few blocks I let go of her waist and we both continue walking. For the most part, the walk was quite. Not an awkward quite, but a comfortable one. I finally decide to break the silence, "Why didn't you tell me you have a job?" I questioned her.

"It never came up, and plus I didn't realize we were that close." She answered keeping her head facing forward as we walked.

"Of course we are close, jagi." I said with a smirk. Areum smiled a little as we continued down the street. Areum looked over her shoulder behind us, my eyes followed suit. There was nothing behind us, but Areum looked as though she saw something.
