NEIGHBOUR || BAEJIN

7 : LOVE WHISPER

"You all did great today! A few days left for our competition, so let's do our best!" Jinyoung gives strength words to the school team.

I pack up my things to get back home. A hand helps me to put some leftover drinks inside the container. Jihoon sunbae.

"Jihoon sunbae.. It's okay. I can do it alone." I refuse his helps because only some stuffs left.

"I'm a gentleman. I should help you." He praises himself.

"Wow! I never thought you're a narcissist."

"Hey! I'm not." He denies. "I'm a kind hearted person to praise myself cuz I know no one wants to praise me."

"All your fans are always praising you. It's not a no one." I chuckle.

"And what if there's someone trying to get a praise after he boasted about himself?" Both Jihoon and I paused when I heard Jinyoung's sudden question.

"Jinyoung, it will not happening. Right, sunbae?" I look at Jihoon who is looking on the ground. "Jihoon sunbae..?"

"Ouh? I'm sorry. I'm zoning out just now." He smiles.

Jinyoung suddenly holds my hand, intertwined with his. "Jinyoung.. What are you doing?!" I shake my hand off from his grip, but he doesn't letting it go.

"Hyung, today I will bring Y/N home. You don't have to escort her today. Bye." He pulls me outside the court heading to his van.

"Bae Jinyoung! This is called kidnapping. Let me go!" I whined.

He just ignores me and opens the van's door for me. I refuse to board in. I just stand in front of the van.

"Y/N.. Let's go." His voice gets deeper and deeper.

"Can't I just...."

He gives a peck on my cheeks, cutting off my words. He carries me inside the van, sitting next to me. I still froze on what he did to me.

"Are you still that shocked?" He asks me while drinking water using the pink straw.

"Why you kiss me?! I mean.. There's no reason." I protest.

He comes closer to me, staring at me deeply. "There's a reason and the reason is you."

I gulp and push him to sit further a bit. I look out of the window, avoiding talking to him. A few minutes passed by and finally the car stopped. I blinked as I fell asleep on Jinyoung's shoulder without realizing.

"What..!" I shriek. "You're the one that make me sleep on your shoulder, right?!"

Jinyoung startled by my sudden shrieks. He turns to face me and approaching me. "You're the one that lay your head onto my shoulder. I want to move away but you told me 'I want you to be my pillow'." He explains.

"You're lying, right? The driver was the witness. He is lying, right?!" I curiously ask the driver.

"Urm.. Actually what Bae Jinyoung said is true. You're the one that telling him to be your pillow." The driver tells me. "And can both of you please get down if you want to fight some more."

Jinyoung holds my hand, getting down from the van. As the van leaves, his hand still gripping on mine. I yank off his hand away. "Don't hold me. Today, how much have you touched me? I never approve it and you know it will be in harassing act. So, I'll add up your sue!"

I walk back to my house after warning him. I lock the door and throw myself on the bed. My eyes get drowsy and start to fall asleep. But there is something that bothering me. The sound of some guys fighting outside.

I peek at the window. Jinyoung is being beat up with some boys in the alley in front of my house. I quickly rushed out to the boys with my school uniform on.

"Yah! What are you all doing here?!" I yelled.

One of the boys looks at me and approaching me. "Ouh? It's Y/N. You have grown up beautifully. How are you?"

"Stop it, Daniel shii. I don't have anything with you anymore. Just stop hitting the boy." I tell him.

"This boy doesn't give us space to walk because of his jump rope. Why can't I continue hitting him?" He stares into my eyes.

"... He is my best friend!" I shout. Oh gosh! You must be crazy, Y/N.

"Best friend? Not Jinjoo anymore?" His hand touches each strands of my hair, making me feel uncomfortable.

I take my action by slapping his face harshly, cutting a bit of his skin because of my nails. "Go... Before I did something worse than usual." I warned him.

"You really forget who am I to you.. I'll see how your life." He smirks and walking away with his gangs, leaving lifeless Jinyoung on the roadside.

"Jinyoung.. Are you okay? Did you see me?" I ask him, getting a kiss instead of an answer.

Kiss...?
