saturday - dance for me / lee daehwi

24: bully

+ haeun

as i ran, i bumped into daehwi.

" oh my... haeun, are you alright?? " he asks, holding my shoulders.

" daehwi... he... he... he kissed me. " i mumble.

" excuse me?!? " he screams.

" no but that's not all... he was my bully from middle school. he bullied me repeatedly... one day i stood up to him and asked why he bullied me... and he said it was because he liked me... i moved away... and i guess he found me here. " i say.

" wouldn't you be able to recognize the name super quick, though? " he asks, confused

" i thought his name sounded familiar when he introduced himself, but i couldn't identify him clearly so i shrugged it off. he reminded me who he was earlier... " i say.

" ugh why are all of the transfer students so weird? " daehwi groans.

(a/n: umm... i kind of ship daehwi and jinyoung so when i was typing this, i was like... this doesn't sound right.)

" he was so nice to me earlier, too! " i say, frustrated.

" i'll kill him. how could he kiss you?! " daehwi suddenly says.

" what?! who kissed who?! " justin says from behind daehwi.

" when did you get here? " i ask.

" that's not the problem! answer my question! who kissed who? " he asks.

" ugh i have such overprotective friends and an overprotective boyfriend... jinyoung kissed me. remember the bully i told you about awhile ago? that's him... " i say.

" one problem after another. life sucks. " daehwi says, stomping his feet.

justin stood there, staring into space.

" um... daehwi... you should head to class... i'll take this child with me bye. " i whisper in his ear before walking away with justin's wrist in my hand.

" dude. " justin finally speaks up.

" mhm? "

" what do we do? " justin says, stopping me from walking any further.

" let's talk in the classroom.. we are going to be late. " i say, dragging him to the classroom.

i had to tell samuel the whole story as well.

" ugh... what do we do now? " samuel says, banging his head on the desk repeatedly.

" i dunno. " i say.

" just avoid him as much as possible. " justin says.

" who are we avoiding? " jinyoung says, walking to his seat with a smile.

we all look in different directions and scratch the napes of our necks.

" some... personal business at haeun's house. " justin randomly says.

" ahh... that sounds cool! i wanna hear about it. " he says.

" no! " samuel screams.

" what do you mean 'no'? " jinyoung says with a laugh.

samuel and i just awkwardly laugh and sink in our chairs.

the teacher walks in and starts the lesson. for once i was thankful that class was starting.

" oh thank you so much, i must be super blessed. " samuel whispers in my ear, sighing in relief.

" good job there, buddy. screaming 'no' is totally not suspicious at all. " i say with a small chuckle.

" hey! i may have made a small mistake but it wasn't that bad... " he whispers.

" 'wasn't that bad'.... haha that's what they all say. " i whisper.

he sighs and sits back in his chair.

literally for the past weeks, samuel and i just whisper to each other the whole class period. fortunately, we haven't been caught yet because we sit all the way at the back of the classroom.

***

as soon as class ended, justin, samuel, and i ran out of the classroom in order to avoid jinyoung.

(a/n: ugh i feel terrible for giving that squish - that can be super hot - a bad role but i will figure it out and bring it to my satisfaction at some point.)

daehwi, daniel, and jihoon were walking towards us, too and we all said our goodbyes before walking home.

justin, daehwi, and i walk home together.

" i'm super tired of stupid transfer students. " justin says.

" same... i wanna go up to him and say 'sorry boo but i don't have time for this just leave me alone thanks'. " i say with a chuckle.

" i don't know what to say... he looked like a pretty cool dude and i wanted to befriend him but my plan backfired. " daehwi says, sighing.

" i was so clueless... ah how could i not remember my own bully? " i ask.

(a/n: honestly my chapters keep on getting shorter and shorter... i don't know where this story is going... but it's going somwhere.)
