I was scrolling through my feed on Instagram, making my way to the canteen for recess. I smiled to myself when I saw my BFF's post of a picture in New York. Ugh, how I wish she was here and not on extended vacation...
"Um-hi, (y/n)" someone greeted me and I looked to up from my phone to see who that voice belonged to. It was Vernon the celebrated Leonardo Di Caprio of my high school. I was surprised why he was confronting me, all of a sudden, out of nowhere.
"Oh, hi Vernon. What's up, anything... important?" I questioned, taking off my earphones, grasping them in my right hand. I could sense the hundreds of pairs of eyes on us two in the hallway. The reason: What was the most celebrated flower boy doing with a normal girl?
"Um, No, I-I mean yes, Yes!" he stuttered, struggling to look me straight in the eyes. I raised my eyebrow at his weird behavior as he stood there, rigid.
"Well, tell me before all these girls try to come after me and kill me for talking to you" I stated as I shot a nervous glance around me.
"The important thing is that, I-I like you (y/n)" he confessed, scratching his nape and smiling at me. WHAT ON EARTH JUST HAPPENED? Vernon, no THE VERNON, likes me, (Y/N). My eyes widened in shock as I blinked a few times continuously. I heard gasps around me and before I could see who they belonged to, Vernon took my left hand in both of his. I was shocked at this contact and looked down at him touching me. Vernon TOUCHING me, HOLDING my hand. WHAT WAS THIS DAY?
"The truth is, I have liked you from a long time. But, I only found the courage to confess to you now. You're everything I have dreamt of to see in a girl and I like you so much. Please accept me and stay by my side. Can you, no, WILL you (y/n)?" he explained his feelings towards me. I was still in a state of shock and I couldn't think of the right answer to say. I gulped down and looked back down at our connected hands. I was about to open my mouth to let my thoughts free when...
"CHWE HANSOL, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? BACK OFF FROM HER!!" I heard a shout and turned to my right. I saw a furious Wonwoo running towards us. I turned to see Vernon smirking at him, his grip tightened around my hand. Something was off...
Wonwoo snatched my left hand from Vernon, a hard grip on my wrist. "She is not your toy to play with, okay? Go play with your dogs that call themselves girls while wagging their tail at you. Don't you ever mess with her, again if not... Never mind" Wonwoo warned Vernon, towering over him. His eyes were glowering with anger and he seemed like he could kill. He turned away from Vernon and dragged me to the nearest classroom.
"Wonwoo, tell me what is happening? What are you doing? Let me go" you demanded but it fell on deaf ears. Wonwoo ignored you and led you to a empty classroom that was abandoned long ago. He pushed you inside and locked the door, just the 2 of you inside the room.
"Jeon Wonwoo, what is happening here?"
"Don't accept Vernon's confession" he stated blankly, looking at me with steely eyes.
"Why shouldn't I? Isn't it my choice to chose who I want to and who I-"
"Because he is playing with you. He is faking it to win a dare with Minghao. He set his eyes on you, so don't fall for-"
"Why are you telling this to me? Why are you looking out for me? Aren't I just a normal, simple, worthless girl who is 'not enough' for yall? Why are you doing this to save me Won-"
"Because I like you" he confessed to me. My mouth automatically shut. He was looking down at me but his expression was different. His eyes were filled with concern, searching mine for an answer. His jaw was not clenched, but relaxed as his brows furrowed with worry. This side of Wonwoo made my heart melt. I could see myself getting lost in his depthless eyes as my heart raced ~badump,badump~.
"Because I realised that I was falling for you and I couldn't bare to see you heartbroken. Because I know it will kill me inside to see you like that" he muttered as his words resounded in my head. I knew this was different from Vernon's confession, because Wonwoo's one felt real. My heart took over my mind and my breathing quickened. Is this how it feels to be loved back?
"I-I will wait for an answer..." Wonwoo mumbled and turned around to leave. Before the gap between us lengthened, I grabbed his wrist making him stop in his tracks. He turned around to face me, surprised.
"Well I like you too, Jeon Wonwoo. I have always liked you for-"
Wonwoo pulled me towards him and engulfed me in a bear hug. His body pressed close to mine, his arms around my back, forming a cocoon. My chin was at the crook of his neck and I could smell his scent, a scent that brought a smile to my face. His hand went up to stroke my head and I laid my arms around his lower back.
"You don't know how long I have been yearning to hear that, (y/n)" he whispered in my ear, bringing a tint of pink to my cheeks. And that was the day I fell for Jeon Wonwoo, my boyfriend.
