Playing Dress Up (MASKING)

7.

Jin was walking down the halls. He opened his locker, looking at his reflection in the small mirror he had in his locker. Was Jin a bit of a narcissist? Maybe? But he wasn't out of control with it. "I think I should dye my hair back to blonde?" He ran a hand through his black locks, till his gaze caught something in his mirror. A girl. He'd never seen her before. She had blond curly hair as she twirled it in between her slim fingers. She was reading something while her locker was open. So obviously she couldn't see Jin gawking at her. She was pretty, slim, and semi-fair skinned. So far she was Jin's type.

She was a 10 in his book. Jin was use to girls approaching him not the other way around. I guess it happens to the best of us. He thought. He shrugged the feeling off, as he got the books out for his next period closing his locker. He walked closer to her, the bell had rang. She stopped her movements as she grabbed the books from her locker, slamming the locker. Running the opposite way of Jin. He got a better look at her. She was very pretty, her side-profile didn't do her justice.

He watched her pass by, from her pov Jin was like staring her down. She gave him a weird look, but didn't slow her pace. Eventually Jin shrugged at the awkward encounter as he made his way to first period as usual.

@@@

Lunch rolled around, Yoongi was out with Taehyung so Jin was pretty much flying solo, well that is until another close friend of his sat across from him. Lee Jaehwan. He was in a few classes with Jin, they've been friends since sophomore year. They had a lot in common down to the same shampoo, except for what they preferred in bed. They were pretty much clones.

"Did you do the History homework?"

Jaehwan asked. Jin like Yoongi was a straight A+ student, he had pretty much all honor classes except History. "Of course." Jin said typing on his phone. He put his phone down as he went in his bag pulling out his History notebook, giving the finished homework to his friend. "Thanks Jinnie~." Jin cringed at that name, sometimes he liked it, other times it was embarrassing to hear.

He seen that girl from earlier, she was walking with another girl. She too looked as beautiful as the mysterious girl, only her skin was paler. Jin knew the girl as Bae Joohyun, she was popular and a great dancer. Jin would have gone for Joohyun, but she was way too stuck up. Plus two narcissist in a relationship, there was only room for one. Jin.

He noticed the girl had caught his gaze as she sped up her pace. Was Jin frightening her? Kim Seokjin, frightening? He thought about it.

"Jaehwan, do you find me frightening?" He asked with curious eyes and knitted brows. Jaehwan looked up as he was just as confused by the question. "What no, you're adorable." Jin tried to stop the smile from coming to his face. But he couldn't help it. "Why do you ask?" His friend was intrigued by that question now.

"Well there's this girl I seen today." Jaehwan put his pencil down. Even though Jin was straight Jaehwan still gave him and advice on dating as well as Jin giving Jaehwan advice on his relationship.

"Is she here right now?" Jaehwan looked around, Jin stopped him. "Stop that!" He whispered-yelled. "You're 12, she's 8..." Jin whispered. Jaehwan leaned back as he slightly looked to his left seeing Joohyun noona with another girl, she had to be new he had never seen her before.

Jaehwan raised his brows as he looked back at Jin. "She's actually cute, she doesn't have a lot of make-up like the rest of these slutbags."

Jin chuckled. Jaehwan was a real truth-teller. "Go talk to her." "She's with Joohyun noona." Jaehwan rolled his eyes. "Who fuckin cares? You're not there to talk to noona, you're there to talk to her." Jaehwan was right. Jin mustered up the courage as he gave a Jaehwan a 'wish me luck' look. Jaehwan saluted him before the other left.

The male prep talked himself till he was in front of the girls. Two other girls were sitting at the table. As they all looked at Jin, except Joohyun. A smirk left her red lips. "Well well, if it isn't Seokjin." The eldest of the girls' said, Joohyun of course. The rest of the girls smiled and grinned. Jin completely ignored the ring leader.

"Hello. You must be the new girl. I'm sure I can give you a better tour of this school then noona can." He said that last part with venom laced in his tongue. Finally looking at Joohyun. The eldest narrowed her eyes. Joohyun didn't take kindly to disrespect especially from people younger than her. She stood up over the table. Getting face to face with the male.

"I don't like your tone. Maybe you should fix it before you bring your sorry-ass back to MY table!" She yelled. Her minions along with the new girl, and most of the cafeteria was quiet.

Jin leaned in close. "The only thing stopping me from bitch slapping you across the table is the fact that you have a pussy between those legs." He said in a harsh tone. Only Joohyun heard that. She gasped as she went to slap him.

Jin was quick gripping her wrist. She growled. There was a long pause. Jaehwan ran up to Jin. "Come on, Jin." He said whispered to his friend. He let go of her wrist as he walked out with Jaehwan.

Not once did Jin ever lose his cool, but there was something about Bae Joohyun that just riled him up at every shot. There was a fatal attraction he had for her without realizing.
