Chapter 8 : Chessy

"Still avoiding me I see," he said, handsomely leaning his back against the locket next to Jihyo's locker.

Yes of course the promise between them is still on. She doesn't know whether she should be mad of him from the previous so called fight they had. It was another childish fight but with different person. Jihyo shut her locker after putting in some of her stuff.

She sighed, "what is it that you want?"

"I just wanna say I'm sorry."

Is that sincerity she heard in his voice?

"About what precisely?" She asked knowing exactly what he was about to say next.

"About using you as a revenge back for my ex girlfriend and stuff," casually he said, rubbing the back of his neck as a nervous chuckled managed to escape his mouth.

"It's okay, there's nothing to be sorry about," genuinely she smiled and walk away. Noticing he was following her, Jihyo stop his step and turn, "Why are you following me?"

"I was just making sure you enter your class and before I forget, I need to mark you—" he leaning in, pulling Jihyo into his embrace, snaking his hands around his waist which now placed firmly on her hips, his smooth lips attached on her forehead. He smiled when he slightly moved back, "as mine."

Seeing the figure in front of him being frustrated and in confusing state, he chuckles at her cuteness. Her both cheeks redden and he finds it quite amusing. Pulling her chin up so that both eyes could meet, he sweetly smiles, making his eyes bag smiling as well.

"Stop blushing Miss Song," he chuckles softly, "you should go to your class or else you gonna be late."

"Say the one who had his hands hold tight on me," she shoots him and rolled her eyes.

Never did she knows, someone had been watching her. The girl had been watching her soon as the task was officially on her. She had been doing these spying things since Jihyo's first day of school, observing every steps and move she made even following her secretly, waiting for the perfect time to strike her down.

"What are you doing?"

"N-nothing," she stuttering a bit as she was surprised when he stood silently behind her and suddenly spoke.

She was scared that the boy will know about her doing such a task when she knows he hates it so much. She's willingly faking her true profile and obey her master for the sake of the family.

"Let's go home," the boy said.

"What so good about him anyway," Minwoo asked, sitting his butt down next to Jihyo on one of the benches in the school garden.

"Nothing much, just this and that," Jihyo simply answer him, turning her focus back to her book she held in her hand.

Minwoo doesn't like it a single bit. Some part of Minwoo hate it when Jihyo come in contact with another guy, especially Eunwoo, his now labeled frenemies, but some part of Minwoo was happy seeing her smile again. Minwoo was curious. He was thinking of what else did Eunwoo planned this time? Dumping her like how he dumps any girls? Although Minwoo know that the relationship between them is fake, he still thinks that it isn't right at all. Minwoo would never let that happen to Jihyo. No matter what befalls him, he still protecting the girl he slowly develop a feeling with; love; the girl who was reading her book peacefully beside him.

"What are you looking at," she asked.

"I'm looking at an angel reading a book and she's sitting next to me."

"What king of pickup line is that?"

"Something that I just created randomly on my mind," he smiled, "it's not that bad. It's the truth. I'm looking at a girl with the most angelic face and I adore her much."

"Cheesy much huh?"

Sorry for the long waiting.
