It's Just A Love Song || Joshua Hong [Book 1 - Smile Flower]

01

Joshua POV

Class had started for a while now and I wasn't really paying attention to what the teacher was saying until I heard a huge banging sound. I quickly turned around and saw the teacher looking furiously at a student I had never seen before...

-"CHOI SANGHEE!!!" the teacher yelled at the unknown student, though I predicted her name was Sanghee.

The girl woke up confused and rolled her eyes at the teacher. Since I didn't want to witness that, I turned around, opened a book and pretended reading.

-".... look at Joshua! Try to be like him..." were the only words I heard.

I turned around and saw the teacher smiling at me.

-"Uh?" I raised an eyebrow. "She needs to be a boy?" the whole class laughed, especially girls.

-"No..." the teacher giggled. "She needs to be a good student like you." she smiled and got back to the front of the class.

She took her chalk and started writing.

-"Starting tomorrow we will start a project in teams-" she got cut off by all of the students screaming in excitement. "Wait, wait, wait I choose the teams!" she calmed the class down.

The whole class sighed in despair.

At the end of the class, she announced the teams.

-"... Joshua Hong and Choi Sanghee..." most of the girls in class sighed and looked at my teammate in anger.

-"Why does a sleeping girl get to be with him?" one girl said, and the rest agreed.

These girls never give up do they, I rolled my eyes.

-"The project will be to create a comic book... In full English with some drawings in it also!" the teacher announced.

Right after the teacher said that I saw Sanghee's face lit up, she must like that project idea.

-"Now for the last ten minutes, team up and think of some ideas."

I walked over to her and sat down at the vacant seat next to her.

-"So... Do you have any ideas?" I asked.

-"Not really, maybe-" she tried talking but the teacher started talking again...

-"Oh, and I forgot to mention... It has to be a romance comic!"

-"Romance!?" I exclaimed.

-"How about... a happy romance comic?" her face lit up.

-"I don't mind... Though are you good at drawing, cuz if you aren't, we're screwed!" I laughed.

-"You can be the judge..." she handed me a book.

I opened it and froze due to the drawings inside, they were beautiful...

-"Did you draw all of these!" I kept my eyes on the book, flipping through the pages.

-"Yea," she said. "Oh! I have an idea, how about I am in charge of drawing, you're in charge of writing and we think of the ideas together?" she proposed and I nodded.

-"Good idea." I smiled and continued to look at her drawings. "These are magnificent!" my mouth was wide open, still in shock.

-Thank you! Though I want it back..." she quickly took it out of my hands.

She opened a blank page in her book and started drawing something, what the??

-"What are you doing, were supposed to think of-" she shut me up.

-"Shh!" she put her hand in front of my face. "Give me a girl and a boy name..."

-"Ummm, Jacob and... Lia!" I brought up. "But why-" she cut me off once again.

-"Tada!!" she presented two characters I speculated were Jacob and Lia.

I took the book in my hands to appreciate the drawing, and before I knew it got taken away from me.

-"We should start to think of ideas..." she closed her sketchbook.

-"Okay let's start with the first idea you had, happy. For you, what is a happy romance comic?" I questioned.

-"Like that even if they have some issues, at the end everything will be fine because they still have each other."

-"I'm loving this project already!!" I said in excitement.

-"Calm down, it's just a project..." she slightly laughed.

-"I know, it just seems fun!" I laughed back. "The bell will ring soon, maybe we could meet up to work on the project." I proposed, but she only sighed.

-"Like on weekends?" she rested her head on her hand.

-"What's the problem, are you busy on weekends?"

-"Yea..." she answered like it was obvious.

-"Doing what?" I asked.

-"Sleeping."

-"Are you kidding me, your sleep is more important than me!?" I exclaimed which brought the attention of a few girls.

-"Is she bothering you?" some girl came next to me and rubbed my shoulder and back.

-"What!? No... Get away!" I frustratingly shook my back and she left as she sighed.

-"These girls never give up..." she laughed. "Why are they always at you, I can name plenty of other boys they can fangirl on!" she laughed even more.

I crossed my arms.

-"Excuse me!" I acted sassily. "Name one!"

-"Easy, SHINee's Key." she didn't even think twice.

-"Unfair he's an idol, name one at this school!" I demanded.

-"Fine Yoon Jeonghan class Al1!" again, she didn't even think twice.

I rolled my eyes and went back to my desk to pack my stuff. I saw her laughing from the corner of my eye... I smiled a little. But it disappeared as soon as I felt a little tap on my shoulder.

-"Joshua, would you like to walk home with us?" a group of girls asked with puppy eyes.

-"Sorry, I'm already walking home with Woozi and Jeonghan." I turned back to my bag.

-"What's that?" I whispered to myself, but somehow the girl heard and peaked on what I found.

It was a small piece of paper with something written on it.

-Sanghee :))

-"If we can't have him, she can't!" a girl took the paper and ripped it into microscopic pieces.

-"Are you-" I stopped talking since I saw Sanghee leave the class.

I ran after her, but as I reached the hallway, two students stopped me...

-"Where are you going, aren't we supposed to walk together?" I looked up and saw Jeonghan looking confused.

I sighed and went back to class thinking I'll explain everything to her the next day...

EDIT: ok so instead of having Jeonghan and Mingyu... This story will include the vocal unit (Jeonghan, Joshua, Woozi, Dk and Seungkwan) and Mingyu will not be in the story (it'll make sense in the future of the story)!
