Forbidden Love {A SEVENTEEN Fanfic}

Chapter Four

Angelica's POV

"Lica!!!"

I turned around and saw Dino running towards me with his arms wide open initiating that he wants to hug me.

I stepped out of the way when he was nearing me, which made him fall onto the floor.

"Sorry Dino, but I don't do hugs."

I stated a matter of factingly, which made him rub his knees and pouted.

"Come on. Let's go inside."

I offered him my hand and he gladly took it and stood up.

We then walked back from where he ran from and entered a large double oak door. Dino opened the door and we swiftly entered and saw that all the guys were already there.

"What happened? We heard a loud thud."

Seungcheol asked when I walked forward and stood in front of his desk.

"Nothing big. Dino came running to me, wanting a hug but I just stepped out of the way since I don't do skinship."

I shrugged and immediately took the cup of alcohol laying on the desk.

Without asking whose it was, I gently took a sip. The hard liquor burned my throat and it then changed into a calming cool feeling.

I tilted the cup and placed it back onto the desk and looked towards Seungcheol who was eyeing me.

"What?"

"That was my drink."

He gestured towards the cup I had just took a sip from.

"I just wanted a taste, you can still have it."

I shrugged once again and walked towards the bookshelf on the right side of the room.

I scanned the many books aligned neatly in a row and raked my fingers through all of the covers.

Suddenly, a book with a scarlet red writing caught my attention and I pulled it out.

"My First Love"

I read the title out loud and I'm pretty sure everyone in the room heard me. Since no one seemed to be talking.

"How did you get this?"

I traced the familiar words on the cover and opened the hard cover.

"You parents gave it to me. As a token of appreciation."

I aimlessly nodded as I stared at the first page of the book.

On the bottom, it was well written in cursive, the writer of this novel.

Angelica White

I smiled and closed the book, then lightly put it back to it's own place.

"Do you like it?"

I turned around to see his reaction and he had a small smile on his face.

"It's my personal favorite. Your book is brilliant."

I smiled back in gratitude.

"Thanks Seungcheol."

"So! Anyone has any ideas on how to start planning for revenge?"

Joshua spoke up, interrupting our little moment and I turned towards him, smilling.

"Don't worry Joshua. I have been preparing for this for two years. I've got everything planned."

All of them stared at each other, quite unsure.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm now in my room, that the princes gave me. It's on the third floor of their mansion, which is the highest floor and their rooms are right next to mine.

I sighed and sat on my bed and once again, took out my necklace.

I whispered the key to the necklace, "Angel~".

It's the short part of my name. Tears sprang into my eyes the moment I found out the keyword to activate her necklace charm.

As soon as I said the word, a glowing light appeared on the charm and soon, a video of my parents came on.

It's not any specific video, it was just them, being themselves, smiling and laughing, and loving each other.

Tears fell down my cheeks as I gripped the charm in my hands tighter.

"I miss you Mom and Dad."

I whispered in choked sobs and closed my eyes, letting more tears fall down my face.

"Hey Lica, dinner is rea-"

I immediately covered the charm with my palm and wiped the tears with my other hand.

"O-oh, yea, dinner. I'll be right down, give me a sec."

I stood up from my bed, turned away from the door, placing the necklace back under my shirt and wiped my face with both hands.

"Lica, are you alright?"

"Y-yea. I'm fine. Go ahead, I'll be down soon, I just need to change."

"Alright then."

I feel that he seemed to be hesitant on believing me, but heard the door closing behind me nonetheless.

I left out a sigh of relief and tried to calm myself down. I shouldn't cry in front of them, they may think I'm weak.

But my traitorous tears weren't listening to me, as they kept on flowing down my face. I folded my arms around and hugged myself, crying silently.

I then placed them up my face and wiped them furiously, and turned around to leave only to let out a shrill scream.

"J-jeonghan...... y-you didn't leave?"

He was standing there leaning his back against my closed door, with his hands folded in front of his chest.

He was staring intently towards me while I just looked away from him, avoiding contact.

Aish.... why was he still here? It's annoying that he saw me crying. He'll probably think I'm weak.

In a second, he was standing right in front of me, and his finger was under my chin making me look up at him.

"Just because you're crying doesn't mean it makes you weak. It makes you strong Lica. So don't hold yourself back if you ever want to breakdown in front of us. We'll be there to cheer you up, rather than look down on you."

I stared into his dark eyes and saw the sincerity in his words.

Did he read my thoughts?

He must've saw the confusion on my face because he lightly smiled.

"I can't read minds, but I can feel people's emotions. I felt your annoyance and worries so I just concluded that you felt weak. That's my gift."

Oh.....

He smiled and soon, he placed his hand which was under my chin, on my cheeks and lightly rubbed his thumb on the wet spots.

"Please don't keep the sadness in you Lica, my heart hurts when I feel your sadness."

I looked up into his eyes once again and saw an emotion there which I wasn't sure what it meant.
