TROUBLE MAKER [WANNA ONE PARK JIHOON] ✅

18 • Hear Out

I wake up with a pair of puffy and swollen eyes. Why did I cry so much last night?! I started to regret last night as I remember Jihoon.

I quickly take a shower and massage my eyes so that it won't be too obvious. I head to school with Mr. Kim's help since he was charged out from hospital two days ago. I arrive school and let out a long sigh.

"Thanks for today, Mr. Kim!" I wave at him and he smiles like a proud father. I go to my hallway and take my books for today. First class for today is History. I get in my class and to my suprise, Jihoon is there, sitting happily and healthily and laughing with his friends.

I freeze as soon as I saw him. Mark was chatting with him and he points to me. Jihoon turn to his back and look at me. I quickly turn my back on him and about to go out but suprisingly, our teacher has arrive and she assures me to get inside back. Mark finally get up from my place and return to his seat. I sit next to Jihoon and moves my chair away from him a little.

"Mrs. Song, why are you so far away from Mr. Park?" My teacher suddenly asks, caught me off guard. Without me realising, Jihoon pull my chair real close to him. He hugs me by the shoulder and struggles to get out from his grip.

"I also don't know what's up with her today, saem. By the way, enjoy calling her Mrs. Song while you can. You know, she will become Mrs. Park soon. Way too soon." He looks at me while saying that. He then winks at the end to me and saem. All the other students in the class cheer loudly.

Saem continue with our lesson. As soon as she starts our lesson, I push Jihoon away. I can see that he is quite shock with my action.

~ Time Passes By ~

"Oh I'm so frustated!" I shout as I walk through the hallway.

"Wae wae" Hyunji put his hand on my shoulder while eating a lollipop.

"That bastard! He disturbs me the whole class!" I bang my head on my locker and Hyunji lean against the locker next to mine.

"Bastard? Who?" Hyunji asks.

"Seriously? That Park Jihoon!" I say and pull my ponytail to let my hair down. I shake my hair to get rid of all the tangles. We then walk together to our cafeteria to grab some foods.

Thank god today's dish are my favourite. The aunts served us Sundubu Jjigae (Soft Tofu Stew), Steamed Mandu (Steamed Dumplings), Apples, white rice and sweet and sour chicken. I forgot to take my chopstick so I was standing from my chair to take them at the counter next to the food counter. Jihoon suddenly shows up right in front of me and hands me a pair of steel chopstick.

I pretend not to see him and going to walk away but he stands in front of me. "Take it," He says and I look into his eyes. He has a 'please-looking' eyes. I grip away the chopstick from his hand and sit again. He then walks away without saying anything afterwards.

~ End Of Lunch Time ~

Now it's finally the final class of the day which is Science. I get in the class and the teacher is not here yet. I look at the empty spot next to Hyunji and Jihoon. I decided to sit next to Hyunji. As I walk to Hyunji's spot, Jeno as the class president stops me.

"Why are you going there? Your spot is next to Jihoon's right?" He asks, stopping me from going further.

"Oh.. I w-was going there," I immediately walk to my original spot which Daehwi is sitting on.

"Yaa, get out," I say in a lazy voice to Daehwi since I don't want to raise my voice.

"I thought you were going to sit next to that girl?" He teases me.

"No, I'm not so get up from my seat. Do as I ask, I'm smiling to you right now," I say and give him the most sincere smile I've ever had. He finally gets up and do a fist bump with Jihoon before going to his original seat.

As soon as I sit, Jeno stands in front of the class to announce that the teacher is on a day off today due to some family matter.

Daewhi and Woojin stand next to my desk. "Jihoon-ah, let's go somewhere! The teacher is not here," They say in unison. I look at them with unbelievable face and put my head on the desk.

"No thanks," I heard Jihoon says. "I'd rather discuss something with..." Then I hear silence.

I turn my head and look at Jihoon. He is pointing to me but immediately take his hand back. He then sit back. I keep my head on the desk and he tap my shoulder.

"What do you want?" I ask while keeping my head down.

"I think you deserves an explanation," He says. "Can't you just hear me out?" He says again.

"Okay but I don't think we should discuss it here?" I finally look up to him.

"Oh.. yeah, sure," He says and then stands up. He holds my hand and smile. "Let's go" He says and we both heads to the rooftop.

We reach the rooftop and I sit at the bench. He sits next to me.

"Okay. First, you need to hear me. Don't say anything until I finish alright?" He pleads to me while still holding my hand.

"Shouldn't you at least...?" I put my hand in front of his eyes.

"Oh.. no. I can't. Your hand makes me less nervous," He says and I can't help but smile.

"I'm sorry for everything I told you. I thought that I need to tell you about me before anything happens between us. Well, I don't want any secrets between us, okay?" He says and look at me. I stay silent as he told me so.

"I admit that I was a player. Now, that's just the past. M-my dark past. I admit that I've kissed many girls before. I know that I've been so bad towards you. But.. I don't know why. I don't know why I change so much.. because of you. Even Daniel hyung and Sungwoo hyung said so. I turned from a player to a kind man? My desire is to protect you.." He says but doesn't look at me in the eyes at all. He keeps his eyes on our hands.

"I have to tell you now and I can't delay anymore. I think I like you- No. I like you, Haneul. Not as a friend.. but as a person. A person that I want to be mine." He says and clutches my hand tighter. He looks at me as if he is waiting for an answer.

"Have you finished..?" I ask and he nods. "I.. am speechless. I don't know what should I do now," I say and he smiles at me.

"It's okay. You don't have to answer me right away. I'm just letting you know so that you won't misunderstand me again," He says and asks me to go back to class. "Oh and please.. don't cry because of a jerk like me," He laughs. Did I obviously cried?!

"I'll walk you until in front of the gates," He says as we both take our bag and walk along the hallway.

I saw Minho's car from a far so I tell Jihoon that he can drop me right by the big tree. I wave at him and show him a call sign with my hand.

"I'll call you later," I mouth and he nods.

What a suprise, Park JiHoon.
