My Foreign "Best Friend" (Park Jihoon) - HIATUS

Chapter 1

GONGJU'S POV

"Settle down students! I am about to tell you the winner of our school's art exhibition this year." Mister Hans announced.

"The winner of our art exhibition, with the most breathtaking skill, to be able to put the meaning of love under a brighter light is...," I could not help but hold the edges of my seat very, very tightly.

Ahh Lee Gongju, please, calm down.

Chungha and Doyeon nudged me, "Why do you have to be so anxious Gogo?" Doyeon asked.

Please call me by my English name once, how no one calls me Princess. AHH, this is driving me crazy why am I so anxious and worried about everything today!

"I don't know, I just...," the problem is I really don't know. I have never felt this big of an anxiety rage before. Mostly because I win every. Single. YEAR.

"Break a leg, will you? If you hold the edges of your seat too tightly, the veins in both your hands might pop out," Doyeon giggled, and I forced a smile.

What the heck is wrong with you?! CALM. PLEASE CALM.

"Dugeun dugeun dugeun dugeun...," everybody started patting their laps. I clenched my right fist and thumped on my chest repeatedly.

Then Mister Hans gestured to stop everyone from their lap patting.

"PARK JIHOON! CONGRATULATIONS!" everyone clapped and cheered, I too clapped for Jihoon.

"Whoooo! GO GET THEM, LADIES!" Haknyeon's shoutout was deafening. All the girls giggled, and I just kept my face straight, not knowing how to react. Until Jihoon passed by in front of me and I automatically changed from a sitting position to a standing position.

I bowed to him, "Chughahae, on your win," I gave him a sincere smile, after all, I don't need to be jealous. I have won more than ten times...but it could have been nice if I win once more, since it's all our last year here. 

"Gongjussi," he smiled, ruffled my hair, "Gomawo," he winked at me and bowed before taking the podium.

Winkboy.

I sat down finding my phone vibrating in my school jacket's pocket, and my eyes read the notice of a text. It was from Somi.

"JUST BECAUSE JIHOON WON YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BOW AND CONGRATULATE HIM. FLIRT" -Somi

I threw my phone in the air and luckily, Doyeon caught it. I snatched it from her grasp, put it in my pocket, scanned the room, and Somi's eyes met mine. She was staring daggers at me and along with her slaves, Chaeyeon and Pinky.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I quickly turned my head to answer Doyeon's question, "N-Nothing...," I smiled at her and looked down and took my phone out again.

"You're so narrow-minded. What is wrong with simply saying 'congratulations'? Just because he is your boyfriend, you can't stop anyone from congratulating him." -Princess

"Because he is my boyfriend, you looked like you were trying to steal him." -Somi

I could not contain my annoyance.

"There are SOMI-ny reasons why the text you just sent me sounds very unlogical thank you very much." -Princess

I turned off my phone and put it in my pocket.

I looked up only to find Jihoon already standing on the podium.

"Jihoon will now be speaking, quiet down students, please," in an instant the room fell into silence. However, the atmosphere was welcoming. Jihoon is friendly to everyone, so we all respected him not only as the student council president but as a friend.
