NEIGHBOUR || BAEJIN

2 : HEART HEART

"Don't be so paranoid about him. I'm sure he will not be here, at our miserable canteen. I mean their canteen is much luxury than ours." Jinjoo clings to me, trying to making me forget about that boy.

Unfortunately, Jinjoo's mouth isn't saying the truth. He is sitting on one of the table in the canteen. With some of the school team members. He must be easy to socialize with them.

"Jinjoo.. Let's leave. He is there. Right on the table in front of us." I tug on Jinjoo's uniform, signalling to leave the canteen.

"Eyy~ maybe he won't notice you. He is busy chatting with Guanlin and Jihoon sunbae." She pulls me to be with her buying some foods.

"Let's go. I have take the food I want to eat." I show her a packet of biscuits as I really want to neglect him.

"Yah! You cannot eat that. I know that you will act this way so I already take the food for you." She gives me a tray full of side dishes and a bowl of rice.

I don't think I have appetite to eat..

I just follow to wherever she takes me to although I don't want to. I noticed that she walks pass through the table where the jump rope boy is. I fasten my phase to avoid him. But...

"Neighbour~ you eat quite many foods. Jjapchae, kimchi jjigae.. Woah and fried eggs too." He teases me.

"Do I know you?" I lied at the same time my voice tremble.

"Of course~ You're my neighbor who wants to sue me because of... Ouch!"

I step on his feet before he continues, embarrassing me in front of all of the students here. "Don't tell anyone about that!" I whisper to him, warning him at the same time.

"What if I don't want? Your story will make the school bulletin become a hot issue." He answers.

"Urm.. Did both of you know each other?" Jihoon sunbae interrupts the whispering time of jump rope boy and I.

"No..!" I strictly speaking.

"Yes! She's my favourite neighbor. She's so funny although love to fuss about something over and over." He lies to Jihoon.

"Bae Jinyoung~ Why don't you introduce her to me when I came to your house?" Jihoon asks.

"Wait... Does his name is Bae Jinyoung?" I ask without waiting for Jinyoung answer. Both Guanlin and Jihoon nod and looking at me confusedly.

Yes.. Now I can make him quiet all night.

"Thanks. I'm going to eat now~ Goodbye sunbaes." I quickly sit in front Jinjoo excitedly.

"Why your face full of smiles? Did he takes your heart a few moments ago?" Jinjoo asks curiously.

"Now, I can sue him. I know his name and today I'll go to report him." I tell her my plan.

"Really? What is his name?"

"Bae Jinyoung ~ I'm sure he will stop by today!" I accidentally speak loud, gaining attention from the others including him.

"Let's see. I don't think so cuz for 3 years straight all your plan failed. I don't guarantee anything." Jinjoo ignores my plan.

"Okay.. If my plan worked, pay all my food for a month. Deal?"

"Deal. And if it is not working, I want you to take his number." She smirks.

"Heol! Why should I do that? That's hard and I don't even want to approach him anymore."

"Really? But both of you always meet because you both are neighbours." She teases.

"Neighbours both more like ughh." I whined.

"Oh gosh! It's raining. Great day I don't bring an umbrella." I sighed, looking at the students who are fetched by their moms and dads.

"I really want something like that too..." I mumble.

"Something like what?" A voice speaks near me.

I turn around, surprised by the presence of Bae Jinyoung. Why he is here?! I distance myself from him staying silent.

"I'm asking you, rude. You don't even answering my question." He approaches.

"Why should I answer a question from a stranger?" I ignore him.

"Is neighbour a stranger?" He asks again.

I gulped. Yeah, people said neighbour is like a family. But him. I don't feel like he is a part of my neighbour.

"I don't think you can file a report about me today. You cannot walk to the police station because of raining~" He mocks me.

"I will! Maybe not today but less than a week!" I warn him.

"Really? I wanna see if someone small like you will be trusted by the police officer." He approaches me until I back off hitting the wall.

Heart, are you beating heavily? Don't.. This boy don't deserve to make you beat like that.
