Chapter 19

[Jiho]

I was planning to stay home and just study for the upcoming exams, then Jisung texted me, telling me that I shouldn't act sad, and I should enjoy the whole week of not being in class. Here I am, putting my bag in my locker. I  brought my wallet and phone with me just in case I get hungry or have to call someone.

"Jiho!" I saw Jisung running towards me, and when he did, he ruffled my hair, " The others are in the gymnasium, let's go--" "Jisung wait,"

He looked at me, "What?"

I bit my lip, "Can you act like nothing happened last night? Please don't act cold towards Jaemin, I'm scared that the others might know and then they'll act hostile in front of him. It'll worsen."

He attempted to calm me down by holding my hand, squeezing it slightly as a sign of assurance, "Okay, but if he says something bad again, please don't get mad when I punch him in the face. And don't worry, we won't be seeing Jaemin today. He's kind of busy so it's only the 6 of us."

Smiling apologetically, I nodded my head and went to the gymnasium with him.

"Ahjumma! Two serving of jajangmyeon and one bottle of soju please!"

I was currently eating with Mom near her workplace, she called me saying that she wants to eat dinner with me and that barely saw each other this week because of the events in school and her work.

"Why are you drinking? You still have to drive home." I nag, Mom is a light drinker, meaning she'll be drunk by the end of that soju bottle.

"Come on, it's not everyday that I get to drink soju." She assured, letting me pour her drink on a shot glass. After that, I began to mix my jajangmyeon before eating it. "Slow down, Jiho. I can order more if you want."

Because of my frustration of what happened last night, I ended up taking a big bite of the jajangmyeon. My feelings were hurt of course, you can't please people, but I expected at least Jaemin will talk to me nicely. He hasn't even apologized on what happened in Journalism Department. It made me think that Jaemin doesn't deserve my kindness, at least I think he doesn't.

I smile, "Finish that Mom so we can leave and watch a--" A tall man suddenly came to our table, stopping me from taking another bite.

"Jaemin! So good to see you."

Oh fuck.
