CHAOS - Park Seonghwa

Chapter 2

What San said bothered him the whole day till the last class he shared with her. He shared only two classes with her, one only with her and the other one with her, San and Hongjoong, his best friend.

This was one of the most boring lecture they have and he usually preferred sitting in the back. The seat next to him was as usual left alone for her. It was an unspoken rule, no one would dare sit on the seat because she can and will move them.

For once he waited for her to come. And she entered after the professor, no respect given with earphones plugged in. The professor merely glared at her which she didn't even look at. Apart from her having a powerful person as her dad, her scoring enough to secure a position among the top 5 was another reason the teachers couldn't do anything about her.

He always wondered when she had time to study well enough to secure high marks. Her day till evening was usually spent in university, nights at clubs, Saturdays drinking till dawn and Sundays nursing the hangovers. When did she study? She and San even went to party before exams. She never takes notes in the classes either, although she looks like she's always paying attention, you never know with her.

She walked the little distance from the gate and sat beside him and took out her earphones. She looked sideways at him and when she saw him looking expectantly at her, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Want something baby?"

He wanted to roll his eyes at the various nicknames she uses on him even after him saying no to them but he was used to it now. He nodded at her.

She looked surprised, "well that's a first. What is it?"

"Have you slept with San?"

She just stared at him for longer than he was okay with. He got nervous.

"Why don't you ask him that?" she asked.

"You know he won't tell me" he said and she nodded in agreement.

And that was it.

"So?" he asked when he felt like she had no intention of replying to him.

She chuckled under her breath and turned towards him, all attention on the lecture gone.

"Yes"

It was a simple word. He even knew that it was probably gonna be yes. Yet when she said that he felt an emotion that felt foreign to him. Something like anger but different too?

"When" he asked, his voice a bit lower than usual. He looked up at her to see her examining his face with a pensive face.

"A few years back. It was only once. I had just been through a really bad breakup and we had gone to a club. By the end of the night, we were too drunk and I was really upset. Him comforting me turned into a make-out session and then one thing led to another and baam! Next morning I woke up in his bed." She shrugged afterward as if it was normal for a couple of friends to sleep together and then be normal afterward.

"Was it just once?" he asked again. He had no idea why he was so curious about it, and her expression also said that she was curious as to why he was so curious about them.

"Yeah. Though we may have gotten a bit handsy here and there when too drunk." Again followed by a shrug. He was getting irritated by how casual she was about all that.

"And anyone else from our group?" he had an inkling that she may have slept with Woo young. He had the biggest crush on her and he does go out with them sometimes.

"Wouldn't you already know about it if I had?" she asked him instead.

He shrugged this time.

"No" she answered. He looked up at her suspiciously. "Not even Woo young?"

She laughed at that, "I am strictly prohibited from sleeping with him by San. He says no matter how bold and everything Woo young may look like, he's a Baby. So I'm not to mess with him."

Even Seonghwa himself couldn't help but let a chuckle escape after hearing her.

They didn't even realize but they had talked through the whole lecture and the professor was just leaving when they got aware of their surroundings. She waved at him and picked her bag up and left, him slowly following behind.

He couldn't help but think that this was the first ever decent conversation he had with her, and San was right, she really was more then what she looks like. There was more to her.

And Seonghwa, begrudgingly accepted, that he wanted to know her. More.
