Love Contract / Mark Lee

Chapter One

"Holy shit! Here comes Chenle." Hyeri put her head down in her textbook to hide her face.

"Hyeri you wanna say that louder. I don't think Chenle can hear you from the front of the classroom." Areum said. Her gaze followed Chenle as he walked to his seat and sat down with his friends.

"The coast is clear, dumb ass." She said, propping her feet on the desk.

"I don't know why I try so hard. It's not like he's gonna notice me." Hyeri said, lifting her head from her book.

"Ugh you big baby. watch and learn." Areum said. Hyeri raised her eyebrows.

"What are you going to-"

"Zhong Chenle!" She yelled. Him and his friends turned around to face her.

"Yeah?" He asked. Chenle and his friends were known as the good looking cool guys on campus. But he was really nice and he didn't try to act to cool or mean.

"Hyeri wants to know if you have a pencil. She forgot her pencil bag," she said. He reached into his backpack, searching for a pencil.

"Yah! Your supposed to have respect we're older than you!" Jeno said. Areum rolled her eyes.

"I'll show you respect when you show some for me," She said. He scoffed.

"Your only older by a couple months and we used to take baths together!" She said, some class members started laughing at Jeno. His cheeks showed a light tint of pink.

"You had to scream that in front of the whole class, dipshit?" He said. She laughed.

"Love you too" She replied. He rolled his eyes.

Chenle found a pencil and walked over Hyeri's desk. She looked up and bowed slightly.

"T-thank you, Chenle Oppa." She said. He smiled.

Areum rolled her eyes. She didn't really use formalities since she had been living in the United States since she was 5. She moved back to Korea when she was 18 because of her family's business.

" were friends! You don't have to be afraid of asking me for a pencil," He said. She nodded. He winked at her and walked back to his desk.

"I have a bunch of pencils. Why'd you ask him for one?" Hyeri asked. She turned to face her.

"Because that was the only way you could talk to Chenle. We're in college not middle school where you pass notes. He's not a bad kid, idiot. If you talk to him he's not going to look at you like a piece of trash." She said. Her friend smiled.

Even though the boys were so popular, they were close with Hyeri, Areum and Mina. It made the other girls jealous.

"Speaking of trash. Where is Mina?" Hyeri asked. Areum shrugged her shoulders and pulled out her phone. She was about to text her friend when the teacher walked into the classroom.

"Ok so she's not coming to school today because of a family emergency. But we know buy now family emergency means that she's probably screwing her ex," Areum muttered.

"Alright. That's enough. All day you've been in a bad mood."

"Name one time!" Areum said, shoving a spoon full of yogurt in her mouth.

"Hey no fair! You get to eat and I'm driving," Hyeri said, looking between the road and the yogurt.

"I'll give you a bite, if you tell me what I've been complaining about all day," she said. Hyeri opened her mouth as Areum fed her a spoon.
