shoot me. | jae

y/n pov

hello. my name is seo y/n. i'm 23 and i'm your average broke uni grad who works in a cafe. cliche, right? well, that's what i thought about my life. not until i met him, again.

he was what everyone seemed to portray as a visual god ; perfectly styled blond fluffy hair, big hazel eyes, and most importantly, a perfect pearly white smile. what a beauty, am i right? well, there's a saying that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

despite being a visual god, what people don't know is how much of a shit person he is. his name, is park jaehyung.

lets have a flashback to how i met him.

>> flashback <<

it was when i was 17. my family had just recently moved in to a new place in california from korea, because of my father's job. i started schooling at cerritos high school. i thought it would be a 'fresh new beginning' for me to make friends again in school. maybe, but oh i was so wrong.

on my first day of school, i became friends with this girl called chae-eun. we became fast friends as she was quite friendly. after getting to know her better in class, she invited me to sit with her group of friends during recess break.

during recess, we seated at the largest table, right smack in the middle of the canteen. not long after, her friends came. one by one they introduced themselves, after me. apparently, they are the 'princess and princes' of the school. they were all pretty friendly, except for the guy called jaehyung. he kept giving me cold glares and eye rolls from time to time. 'what a handsome guy, but such weird behavior..' i thought to myself. strangely enough, none of his friends saw his behavior.

three weeks down the road, i started to receive strange notes in my locker. i shrugged them off, thinking that they were just dropped in accidentally. the last note i received was with the words 'meet behind the moon cafe at 5pm'. i was kinda scared but i still went.

i reached the cafe early and i waited at where the note instructed me to. i scrolled through my social media pages endlessly while waiting for the note giver to arrive. around five minutes later, a dark shadow loomed above me. omg, its jaehyung. is he the one who has been sending me weirdass notes?? 'uhh hi jaehyung what brings you to be here h-huh?' i stuttered slightly, most probably revealing that i was scared.

'well well well look what we have here. seo y/n. i'm going to teach you a lesson. you better fuck off from my friends and i or else you will face consequences.'

i was so scared. after he left, i started to cry. i was just a new transfer student who wanted to make friends. what made him resent me so much? was it something that i have done?

after that incident, i kept a distance from them. chae-eun periodically asked me why i didnt join the group but i always came up with excuses to not hang out with them. but in reality it was not. on the other hand, jaehyung started to spread rumors about me to the rest of the group. and since the group was quite popular, the rumors spread like wild fire to the rest of the school.

the student published school magazine for summer came around. the magazines were all dropped in every student's locker. a large print titled 'seo y/n dating prince of school park jaehyung?' was printed on the front of my copy. what the absolute fuck?

i flipped to the page where there was the article of the large print. my eyes widened as i read the article. the article was rumors about me and it had my address and contact information about me. no way. no FUCKING WAY THIS COULD BE PUBLISHED. and who may be the author, you guess? none other than park jaehyung himself. that moment, i knew i had to leave the school. as i had received the magazine only during recess, i guessed that half the school might have already saw the article. so to avoid getting humiliated by anyone in the halls, i left the school.

tears streamed down my face as i ran towards the exit of the school. i heard someone shout out my name behind me but i continued to run after i exited school. i had enough of this hellhole where people claimed learning took place.

yeah just shoot me
bang bang
your bullet bullet bullet
Iill take it anytime
if this is what you want
just shoot me
shoot me

shoot at me
bang bang
that's even better
it's too familiar now
if this makes you feel better
just shoot me
shoot me

that week, my mom and i moved back to korea. my father stayed in california to finish his job. i changed my address, my number and my hairstyle. i was determined to forget the past.

>> end of flashback <<

[8.49pm, present time]

the bell of the cafe rang. i stood up from my seat, getting ready to order. a man in his mid-twenties came up to me. shit, this man looks familiar, do i know him? he ordered a large black coffee without milk and was about to walk off to find a seat. i stopped him, and asked for his name. 'uh, just put jae' he told me.

wait, is he jaehyung from cerritos high school? no way. how could it be so coincident? indeed, they did have similar features... but how could it be so coincident?

as the cafe closed at 9, i hurriedly finished his order and called out for him. he collected the drink and asked me what my name was. 'seo y/n' was all i replied and i hurriedly turned off the cafe's electricity. 'jae' was still sitting at one of the tables inside. 

'hey dude the cafe is closing, please leave now.'

'no, i want to talk to you.'

wow, okay. rude much?

'uh yeah but i have to lock up the place now so why don't you wait outside first?' i asked. he nodded and walked out of the cafe and sat outside. i quickly closed the cafe and met him outside.

'seo y/n... i finally found you after all these years. you may not remember me, but i'm park jaehyung, from cerritos high. i'm here to apologize to you. what i did in high school, was super mean of me. can you give me a chance to explain myself?'

so, we meet again.

i nodded silently and listened to him. i remembered him. that fucker who wouldn't leave me alone and constantly tried to make me hate him because of what he did.

'i only did all those things to you because i liked you. from the very moment you stepped into the school and i saw you, i felt you were such a visual goddess. when you sat with us during recess, i couldn't help but feel charmed by you. you never failed to make my heart flutter. and because i thought my crush on you was stupid, i tried to make myself hate you. when that failed, i did things that i didn't imagine myself to do to you. my intention in the article was to make you angry so you would talk to me. i didn't expect you to leave the school. only you received the magazine with that article so the rest of the school population do not know about what i wrote about you. i'm truly sorry for also spreading rumors about you. i only did them in hopes to get your attention but instead i hurt your feelings than to get your attention. seo y/n, i'm not asking for you to be my friend, but i just want you to accept my apology. i know many of the things i did to you in high school were unforgivable, but please, can you give me a chance to redeem myself?'

i was beyond shocked. both of us were tearing up, still outside the cafe.

'jaehyung park. those are in the past already. honestly speaking, i don't really care if you apologize or not. i've moved on from my life then. all i want to know is, why did you bother to look for me this whole time?'

'its because i finally realize how much i love you and i want to make up for it.'

end.
