I Need U

Chapter 23

Siwoo stared at her sketch for a moment.

"Couples nowadays fight a lot."

She suddenly remember what the old lady told them. A smile formed, *she thought he's my boyfriend.*

Her smile suddenly disappeared. "Why am I smiling? I should be mad!" she said to herself. She tried to focus on her drawing but after making too much mistakes, she gave up. She threw herself on her bed before staring at the ceiling.

Another smile came, *J-Hope...* and with that she went to sleep.

J-Hope frowned when he saw a figure with a hoodie standing at Siwoo's locker.

He went closer and, "Excuse me?" the person looked at him.

"Yah Siwoo-ah!" J-Hope looked at her in surprise. "What?" she looked back at him. "It's not even raining outside. Why are you wearing your hoodie?" he asked her. "I'm sorry but this is your hoodie, mister." She looked at him. "I need to use it for a while."

"My hoodie? Ah, the hospital! But why do you need it? Are you hiding something?" he asked. But right at the moment, someone leaned on the locker next to her, "Hey-Oh, it's Siwoo." V smiled.

"Why? Trying to flirt with me?" Siwoo raised her eyebrow. He uneasily rubbed his nape, "Is that too obvious? But I thought it was someone else." He chuckled.

Jungkook came to her, "But nuna, why are you wearing that?" "Is it really weird if I wear this?" she asked them and they nodded. She sighed, "All these transformations on me make me feels like I'm a different person."

"But you're the same Siwoo to us." J-Hope said and the other two nodded. "This is just the new version on you." V smiled widely. She sighed, "I'll take it off." She gave up.

"That's more like it. The new glasses look good on you nuna." Jungkook smiled. She nodded, "I guess."

During lunch, seven boys sat together on the same table. "Hey, where's Siwoo?" Jin asked. "I saw she's leaving her class just now. I thought she was following us." Rap Mon answered.

J-Hope stood up. "Yah, where are you going?" Suga asked him. "I'm going to bring her here." He smiled before he went away.

"He's so excited whenever it's about Siwoo. Does even know where to find her?" Jimin took a sip of his drink.

Jin giggled, "I bet he knows more about her than we do." "And I can feel that she means a lot to him." Suga added. "I feel the same too." Jungkook said.

J-Hope opened the door, "Siwoo, are you here?" he asked.

"What?" Siwoo answered. J-Hope looked up, "There you are." He climbed up the steel stairs. "What do you want?" she kept away her sketch book.

J-Hope raised an eyebrow. "I thought Serri had destroyed your sketch book?" She smiled, "That sketch book belong to my mother. This one is mine." "Can I see it?" he went closer to her. "Nope. It's not time yet." She told him. "Not time yet?" he frowned.

"I said that I will you everything about my mother when it's time right? Well, this is the same." She looked at him. He smiled, "I understand. Now let's go. Everyone's waiting for you."

"Where?" she blinked.

In minutes, they were standing in front of the entrance of the cafeteria. "Can I not go in?" she looked worry. J-Hope laced his fingers between hers, "You need to face this. Show them that you're not the old Siwoo."

Her face went red and her heart was beating faster than usual. She looked at J-Hope. *why am I feeling this towards him?*

J-Hope slightly squeezed her eyes, bringing her back to real world. "Are you ready?" he asked her. "Uh, y-yes." She stuttered. *I guess I am.*

J-Hope finally opened the door to the cafeteria and the both walked in, hand in hand.

Murmurs were heard.

"She looks familiar." "J-Hope's girlfriend?" "Who is she?" "Wow, she looks hot." "I don't see her face."

J-Hope raised an eyebrow when he heard that.

He turned back to Siwoo. "Yah!" he was surprise. Siwoo looked up at him with her hood covered her.

"We told you to take that off." J-Hope pulled it down, revealing her face.

Some gasps were heard.

"It's her." "That's the nerd" "Serri's favourite toy."

J-Hope turned to them. "She is not anyone's toy! She's our friend and I would like to remind all of you. Lay one dirty finger of yours on her, we won't forgive you." He warned them. He made sure that he made it clear to them before he pulled Siwoo to where the others are waiting.

"Siwoo!" V waved at her and she smiled back at him. He placed his hand on top of his heart, "Argh!! The angel just smiled at me." He pretended to got shot.

Siwoo sat next to him, "Drop the act." She giggled.

J-Hope looked at her with a wide smile.
