First Love (Book 1 of the Corrupt Series)

Just One Day

"Rise and shine!!" a sing-song voice woke me up.

The heck? The only two people who were most likely to say that were miles away from me. I looked around to see Jeon, out of all people to be standing smack in front of my bed, a huge grin on his face.

Okay. This was not normal. Jeon was usually so cold and reserved. "Are you feeling okay?" I ask. Maybe he was so delusional that I could successfully escape!

"I'm feeling amazing! What about you?" Jeon asked, a silly grin still plastered on his face.

"Low-key."

"Well, I've been thinking, Yura --"

"Wait. Did you just actually call me by my name?" Jeon always called me Cerise, a name that I had abandoned a long time ago. I frown at Jeon. "You've changed a lot over night."

"Yeah, well, like I said, I've been thinking. Thinking that if we're going to be spending so much time together, it shouldn't be wasted. We should at least be friends," Jeon said, holding out his hand for me to take.

I raise my eyebrows. "How do I know you're not faking it?"

"Well, you don't," Jeon said, honestly. "But it'd be better for you to get on my good side."

I think for a bit. Jeon's not wrong. It would be better if I got on his good side. That way, I could trick him to think I was his friend, then easily run away to Yoongi later. "Fine," I said. "But for just one day. If it's suspicious, I'm going to ask you to cut the crap."

"Deal," Jeon laughed, holding out his hand. I took his hand and shook it.

"Deal."
