Over The Seas [Kim Sunwoo The Boyz]

Ch. Eight

I opened the front door to my house and I saw Jihoon sitting in the living room with my mom and dad. They saw me enter the room and I was really worried, not gonna lie.

"We heard what happened." My mother started to speak. "What is up with girls your age?" She shook he head in disappointment.
"I don't know, they're a bunch of brats."
"They've just become too obsessed with boys these days." My dad spoke.
"Just be careful around them. Don't be afraid to fight back." Jihoon now spoke.
"Wouldn't it be easier if they knew I was your sister? They think we're together and that could cause drama for you. Plus, I don't want rumors at school."
"Riyae, I asked my manager if we could make that public and he'd say he'd think about. It's most likely going to happen but not immediately."
I sighed with relief.
"Good. Just soon."

NEXT DAY

At school the next day was rough. All the girls kept on giving me dirty looks and I was trying to keep my patients.
"I can't believe you actually had the nerve to show up at school today." Said a girl.
"I kinda have to come. School isn't really a choice." I replied
She shrugged and walked away.
I knew it was going to be a long day.

I wasn't sure if I was ready to go meet up with my brother. I know I should take a different route.

After school, I went a different direction and luckly I wasn't followed. I might have to take this route every day but it is the longer way so I have to run at some point. But right now I can take things slow.
I start to think about Sunwoo. He was so nice to me yesterday and I have to keep on thanking him. I hope I don't annoy him, though.

I look at the time and I see that I should start to speed up. As I run, I hear footsteps behind me. I know it's the same group of girls as yesterday. Why can't they just let it go??
So, I start jogging and so do they. I'm getting sort of deja vu. Okay, I need to start sprinting.
I ran as fast as I can hoping to reach Jihoon in time to protect me. Ew, I can't believe I actually said that.
I see the corner and I did a stupid thing and turned back. I felt as if all the girls from school were after me! I ran and ran and so did they. Why does the corner look so close yet so far???
I finally turned the corner and say Jihoon and his friends. He looks at me with a confused look.
"They're still...after me!" I say, trying to catch my breath.
"Who?" He asked.
"Every girl...at my...school."
As I finished, a huge group of girls turned the corner with one yelling, "There she is! With Jihoon!!"
They walk up to him and I and the same girl that pulled my hair was in front of the group.
"Hi!" She said in a annoying high-pitched voice.
"Hello. What are you girls doing here." Jihoon asked so nicely.
"Oh, just wanting to see you!" Again, annoying high-pitched voice.
"Okay, well I appreciate it but I'm busy right now and you all should get home safe."
They all giggled and smiled and did all the fan girly stuff that they do. Ew. How do they know so much about him- he's not even an kpop idol yet.
They all walked away finally.
"Thank you?" Jihoon said pleadingly
"Fine, thank you. I don't need your protection all the time."
"What? This is the first time!"
"You walk me home ever day after school. It counts."
"Well, for starters, I'm your older brother, you're kinda still new here, and mom and dad told me to."
"I guess I can't argue with mom and dad."
I saw Sunwoo stare at me. I should talk to him.
"I see you're doing better." He said.
"Yeah, thank you again for helping me."
"Of course, my pleasure."
"So, about our soccer game?"
He smiled.
"Uhh, are you sure you're up for the challenge?"
"I think so. But it's not me who should be worried."
He laughs.
"*sigh*, you're cute when you get competitive."
Again with the cute...
I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, let's see who wins."
"Wait, now?" He said in a worried and sad tone.
"Is there a problem with that?"
"Yeah, I'm supposed to meet up with the others."
"The Boyz?"
"Yeah, we're all meeting up and filming stuff together."
"Oh okay, that's fine. Tomorrow?"
"You're on. But I'm really sorry."
"I said it's fine, Sunwoo."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." He sounded sad again.
I just walked away and told Jihoon that we should head home.

Why do I feel sad. Over a soccer match with Sunwoo. It's still happening. Just not today.
