LOVERS FATE (Jaehyun X Reader X Taeyong)

Chapter 3: Unexpected Classmates

The moment you walk into the classroom, you see Jae-Hyun sitting next to Irene in the middle of the classroom. You assume her friends were scattered around them, they had a snotty vibe when they saw you walk into class. Jae-Hyun notices you and couldn't help but to show his charming smile which made his 'girlfriend' jealous, again. You could tell her friends were scattered around them by the way how they glared at you the same time Irene did. Greeeeeeat, now I have to deal with them too, you thought to yourself as you look around the room and notice each seat is filled. Well, most were, there was an empty seat at the far right corner near Lee Tae-Yong. You weren't shocked about that but it was nice to see him without a dark hood on. You were surprised by how handsome he was. It was sad to know that the whole school hates such a good looking guy. If both of them were in an얼짱 (Ulzzang *best face*) contest then both would possibly be a tie.

You slowly walk towards the seat next to him and sat down before class officially began. You knew if Win-Win was there, he would be mad at you for this situation. You could not help it though, it just seems like you have bad luck this year. Once in a while, you can tell popcorn guy has been stealing glances at you when she's not looking. You try to ignore him but it was hard to when her friends notice and they glare at you from afar. As soon as they do, Irene looks back to you with a look that could kill. You lean back in disbelief as you thought to yourself, shit, how did I get this unlucky?

Throughout the entire time in class, there was only one person you didn't feel his presence as much--Tae-Yong. He steals glances at you when you focus hard on your assignments in class. He admires your dedication but could tell you were feeling frustrated by receiving unnecessary attention from a handful of people that you simply don't care about. You show an annoyed expression as you look up and see Jae-Hyun looking back you. He smiles and waves but you ignore him by looking back down at the paper with an intent stare. Tae-Yong knew you were trapped in a tough spot when he sees all of them look back at you again. Jae-Hyun looks to you to get your attention while Irene and her friends constantly threaten you with a stern glare. Tae-Yong looks to you once more in pity, he wishes he could help you but he's in no place to do so.

After class, you immediately left the room in a hurry. You eventually saw Yuta and Johnny as you walk at a fast pace down the hallways. You were breathing heavily as you stood in front of them, have you two seen Win-Win?"
"Why? Has he finally ignore you?" Yuta said with a grin.
"Shut up and just tell me where he is," you snapped.
"It must be urgent if she's snappy," Johnny leans to Yuta and semi-whispers to him.
"Well, he's probably at his next class by now. Just talk to him during lunch like you always do," he storms away.
"See you later!" Johnny says as he waves while following Yuta.
"Tsk...jerks."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

You try to wait for lunchtime to tell Win-Win, but you hit a curveball as soon as you walk into each classroom. You saw either Jae-Hyun or Tae-Yong sitting by themselves. Luckily, Irene is only your first class but in a way, you wish she was next to him instead of you. Tae-Yong was only in your first and second class, but Jae-Hyun was in all of them. Even though the day felt long, Tae-Yong never gave you any problem. You thought he would be the bigger problem due to his reputation, but now you think someone else is. Sadly, one of the most handsome guys in the school. To be honest, you would rather be stuck in class all day with Yuta than Jae-Hyun. 

There was a time you've been avoiding Jae-Hyun all day long and then he found you. He pinned you near a wall as he approaches you. You thought everyone will notice until you see a big plant that is big enough to hover over his head. Unexpectedly, might cover both of your faces.
"Have you been avoiding me?" he questions as he steps close enough to feel his breath on your neck and his body pressing against yours.
You cleared your throat before speaking up, "you could just ask in a distance by that plant," you said with a fake smile as you point behind him. He looks and steps back. You let out a big sigh of relief as he stood farther away from you, "why do you ask?"
"Well, ever since I saw you in class this morning, it was like you were avoiding me by ignoring me or pretending I don't exist."
"I don't know what gave you that impression?"
He looks to you with a you-got-to-be-kidding look, "you leave class immediately after the bell rings."
"That's because we had like two minutes to get to our next class and mine are usually....elsewhere," you half-heartedly lied.
"You could at least let me walk you to class."
"Uh, no and risk myself getting a knuckle implant to my face by your jealous girlfriend and her evil dance crew," you said with a sarcastic smile while attempting to walk away. He grabs your hand and intertwines his fingers with yours. You look at your hands then back to his face.
"What girlfriend?"
"The girl who sits next to you in our first class, dumbass."
"Ow and she's not my girlfriend."
"Then why are you two always clinging onto each other like a couple?"
"We're just close friends."
"Yeah, emphasize the 'just' and you have two close friends with benefits," you hope that could help you win this fight but he said something smart.
"Is that what you and Si-cheng are?"
"Oh. My. God. I can't believe you just said that to me."
"Is it true?"
"Hell no! We've been best friends since Middle School."
"That's how it usually starts," he shows a devious smirk.
"First of all, we don't do shit like what you two do," you point as if there was another person by his side. You continue to snap, "we may hold hands and such but we don't pin each other against the lockers and lock lips."
"So, you guys are the innocent friends with benefits."
"Da fuck? Is that an actual thing?" he nods to answer your question. You continue with more sass by twirling your finger at his face, "that's bullshit," you storm away until he suggested something.
"Hear me out. Just for a minute." You slowly walk back to him with a tired look.
"I'm listening," you said as you stood tall with arms cross.
"If I cut ties with Irene, would you like to meet me tonight?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I would like to show you something."
"Dear God, If I see a pole--," you said as you lifted your hands up in the air and looked down.
He waves his hands frantically, "no, no! It's not that kind of---wait, we're not of age to do that anyway," he smiles as he was shocked of what you were about to say.
"You'd be a surprised man. A lot of weird shit could happen when you're sixteen."
"Wait, how did you know?"
"Dude, we are born the same year man."
"We are?"
"Oh my God!" you shout at his face.
"Anyways, what I'm trying to say is I want to show you what I'm studying for."
Your mouth opens wide in shock. He closes your mouth slightly as he continues, "would you like to meet me tonight?"
"Uh, sure. But let me make sure to take my brother to my aunts' house."
"Okay, awesome. See you around seven-thirty?"
"Sure."
"Meet me near the movie theatre. It's by there," you nod before both of you part ways. 

You stopped as you realize you agreed to go on a date. What the hell did I just do? You questioned yourself as you hastily walk away.
