The Other Campus - Part One

Jana

Jae finally pulls away, breaking our kiss. He slowly drags his hands down my bare back as I straddled his hips, pulling my body closer to his. He peppers kisses down my neck and shoulder, leaving one too many hickies.

"Stop it," I giggle, placing my hands on his cheeks to get him to quit leaving marks. "Someone is going to see this on my neck at school tomorrow."

"Good," he says coyly. "That way boys will know you're mine."

I roll my eyes and climb off of him, tossing him his boxers. I look around for my underwear, slipping them on as soon as I find them. He helps clasp my bra, getting off the bed to put his shirt on.

"You'll be okay on your drive home?" he asks me, going in front of me to kiss my forehead.

"Yes, baby... I'll be okay..."

He picks me up in his arms and swings me around. He's so much taller than I am, so when he lifts me, it makes me the perfect height to kiss him.

"Make sure those boys see those lovemarks..." he laughs, putting me down.

"Oh my God," Mari groans, moving my hair away from my neck the next morning at school. "What did he do? Try to suck your blood?"

I slouch in my seat, wrapping the hood of the jacket I stole from Jae around my neck. "Stop, Mari..."

"Is that Jae's jacket?" Seola asks, sitting in front of me. "This is like the twelfth one you've stolen this month."

"I return them... eventually..." I look at them and they raise their eyebrows at me. "Okay, fine, he grabs them whenever he comes to my place."

"Apparently that's not the only thing he grabs when he gets to your place," Mari sings, turning to face forward.

I make a face at her before showing my tongue. I put my hood up and basically hold it shut. I quickly send a picture to Jae.

Lol, you look cute baby, he replies.

Then, a few seconds later: I'm gonna swing by your place tomorrow. I want my hoodies back. Lol.

Jana: Nope.

Jae: Um, your skinny ass boyfriend is going to school looking like a string bean. I need my hoodies back.

Jana: ... You can take back four of them.

Jae: FOUR????? WHAT THE HELL LADY? HOW MANY DID YOU TAKE?

Jana: Lol, I love you.

I love you too, butt head, he sends with a picture of himself making a face at me.

Jana: UH, YOU ALREADY HAVE A HOODIE ON SMFH.

Jana: AND CUT IT OUT WITH THE FUCK BOY PICS. THAT'S MY JOB.

I send him a picture back, doing the same pose as him.

Jae: UM THIS ISN'T THE HOODIE I WANNA BE WEARING THOUGH.

Jae: AND STOP IT WITH THESE PICTURES. YOU'RE TRYING TO SET ME ON FIRE.

I close my phone and quickly hide my face in my arms on my desk.

"What? Did string bean boy send you pictures again?" Seola laughs.

"Yes," I peep.

"Tell him to take pictures of our boyfriends," Mari giggles. "Come thru, Jaehyung. I can't expect you to be her husband if you can't do something for us too."

I groan, trying to get myself to stop blushing before class starts. I text him under my desk throughout class, and in the middle of the day, I get a rant from him about the situation with Ari.

She says that she gets it, but she's not listening. I'm finna pop a cap in her if she doesn't get her head on straight. Best friend or not, I'm not about to let her be a homewrecker. Don't tell the other girls about this, okay? You and I can figure this out, and we'll find a way to get her to stop. The last thing I want is for anyone to get hurt, especially Mari.

A few minutes later, he sends, Brian seems oblivious to the fact so far... I'm gonna talk to Dowoon about this, okay? Sorry babe, I need to vent.

Can I at least tell Seola? I ask.

Later... when we have a plan or solution. Seola will lose it if she gets involved, and I don't want her to stress over a problem that isn't hers.

I look up at my best friends, gulping.

I sigh, finally texting, Okay. I won't tell.
