Irresistibly Innocent Love

Aiden: The Handsome Devil of Ganghan

2 years ago...

"The handsome devil of Ganghan strikes again."

I whistled appreciatively after reading the headline of Ganghan Academy's school newspaper. Taka, on the other hand, shook his head so many times that I was a tad bit afraid it would fall off.

"You know, I wish they actually captured my face in a better angle then in a sideways awkward glance like this." I blurted out, unsatisfied with the picture the newspaper team took when the scene was taking place.

"You do know that you're going to get in trouble with the counselor for this again, right?" He asked sheepishly.

I smiled. "Well, you told me before, didn't you? It's all just part of my charm."

Apparently, in the middle of the beginning-of-the-year ceremony this morning, something outrageous happened. Recalling it now, it was really one big embarrassment for myself but at the same time it felt pretty good as well.

I was running all the way to the hall, as I noticed that the clock had shown that the time was way overdue. However, as soon as I reached the hall, a stern headmaster was already waiting, arms crossed.

"Mr. Shinagel, do you have anything to say for yourself?" He asked sternly.

I was used to this in the past couple of years, so I just put on a sheepish smile.

"Well, Mr. Choi-" I started.

"Mr. Choi, if you want to punish Aiden, then you have to punish me too!"

"Me too!"

"OPPA* ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"

Suddenly three girls that I recognized to be my juniors, precisely two grades below me, flocked in front of the headmaster.

The headmaster reprimanded them sternly. "What are you girls doing here?"

Girl number one suddenly looked at the other two and shouted, "Wait, what are you both doing here? I thought you already said that I get to save him when the chance came!"

"Hey, knock it off, you think I could just watch you win his heart while I just regret this moment for the rest of my life?"

"OPPA TAKE NOTICE OF ME!"

Girl number two suddenly snatched an envelope from girl number one's pocket.

"So you don't mind if I take this then right?" Girl number two screamed.

"Give that back!" Girl number one screamed back.

Girl number three came up to me and said, "Oppa, please accept this letter from me for trying to save you!"

Both girl number one and girl number two suddenly froze and turned to girl number three.

"That's our line!" They both screamed.

A catfight suddenly ensued, with the girls wrestling each other on the floor. The hall was silent watching all this happen, though I could hear some students laughing within the crowd. Honestly, I wanted to laugh too if the headmaster's booming voice did not suddenly echo all over the room.

"SILENCE!"

However, the three girls would not stop at all. If anything, I could see bruises forming on their knees and legs.

"I thought you guys were my friends!"

"You traitor!"

It was not until five teachers stepped up to stop them by pulling them apart that they finally started to come back to their senses, although girl number one and two were crying.
