'U GOT IT' [X1; HAN SEUNGWOO]

VIII

The whole day of school went by with me being moody and not talking to anyone even Yohan. I ate lunch with Yohan and Seungwoo. Yohan asked me a few times but I didn't answer so he knew he shouldn't ask until I'm ready to tell him myself.

SW's POV

"Hyung, I heard you walked her to school today" Yohan whispered to me at the lunch table.

"Yeah, why?" I replied back while putting a spoonful of rice into my mouth.

"I heard you also held hands" He added which caused me to choke a little bit.

"W-who told you that?" I asked looking at him.

He just shrugged then put another piece of his meat into his mouth. "It's everywhere in school, one of the hotties from school Han Seungwoo was holding hands with his number one enemy, Kim Ha Eun" He said while continuing putting more food into his mouth.

How did it spread though, nobody was there except the four of us that time... and I know it's no one else but the number one big trouble, Se Yeon.

"Hyung, I thought you hated her? What's this sudden closure?" Yohan asked me quietly.

"It's complicated... a lot more complicated than you all think..." I said and continued eating my food. Yohan patted me softly, I know Yohan, he's very reasonable and not nosy, he'll wait until I'm ready to tell him myself, which is one of the reasons why I like him.

I looked up at Ha Eun seeing if she heard the last question Yohan asked me or not... I noticed she had her face down while eating her food, a few strands of her hair almost fell into the small bowl of soup that she had. I reached out to push it to the back for her but she pushed my hand away, she pushed very slowly though.

I didn't even notice Yohan was leaving until he told Ha Eun, "Hey, I'll wait for you after school, let's go home together" he said and she nodded quickly as a response. After Yohan left I moved to sit next to her.

The smell of her hair brushes through my nose for a brief and I can't help but enjoy the smell. I really love her scent, there's this special smell of hers that is really captivating. But I can't. I need to control myself, I need to put a stop this kind of feelings.

"Are you ok?" I asked her bending my head down a bit to stare at her face but she just looked away.

"Hey, answer me" I said softly trying to reach out to her shoulder and pull her to face me but she got up and said "See you later" before she left me. Is she mad? Did she hear any stories from anyone? I watched as she put the tray of her food back to its place then left the canteen.

"Seungwoo" I heard some group of girls call my name. "Woah, I heard you're dating that nerd, Ha Eun? I never knew you had such a boring and shitty taste in women" One of them said and the rest laughed along. "You rejected me for whatever that person is, how boring" She continued.

"Right? Look at our Hyun Bi, beautiful and smart and rich as well, Seungwoo open your eyes will you?" One of her friend said after her. Another one of her rats gang was about to say something until I slammed my hands on the table loud enough for some people to stare at and startled her and her team.

"These shitty words that come out of your mouths is the reason why no guys want you, they want your money, not they love you. You think guys would love girls with no manners? Grow up" I said and they were all shocked because I was always the kind to keep quiet no matter what people say, but not until they called Ha Eun shitty, that's just... rude. I left the canteen and went back to class hoping it ends soon.

HE's POV

Finally, school's done, I can finally go home. I almost forgot that Yohan is waiting for me today, I missed him. I haven't hung out with him for days and I miss my friend.

"Hey" I said softly while approaching him.

"You came! Let's go for a drink" he said and wiggled his eyebrows and I smiled at him. "You smiled" He said and jumped around looking kind of stupid. I laughed and slapped his arms to make him stop.

"You look dumb, stop jumping around" and he stopped. "Do you feel better now?" Yohan asked me putting his hand on my head and smiled at me. "Sooo much better, thank you bestie" I said and laughed softly. I linked my arm to his and proceeded to walk.

"Your favorite boba shop?" He asked.

"Yours too." I replied back. And we both just laughed and walked out of school. I am planning to tell him everything about why I'm moody this whole day when we arrive and another topic that I also want to share with him as well, since he's the only one I trust, the only real friend I have in school.

SW's POV

I saw Ha Eun running down the stairs to the gate and was about to call her but she was talking with Yohan and he did things and she smiled. She finally smiled again today, she didn't smile at all ever since we saw Hangyul and Se Yeon this morning.

I was about to approach them but he was saying things while putting a hand on her head and she smiled sweetly at him. Sometimes I think they're really something more than friends when they both are too tired to explain that they're not until they just teasingly go with the flow and sarcastically say "Yeah yeah you guys are right, we're in a relationship, we're girlfriend and boyfriend, uh huhh" stuff like this.

Walking from the stairs slowly towards them just to see her link her arm around Yohan's and laughed cheerfully at him before hopping out of school together cutely like a lovey dovey couple.

A part of me feels empty after witnessing this scenario. A part of me wants to run and grab her away from him. A part of me wishes to be Yohan...

I need to control myself and these stupid feelings and focus on the real deal. I washed out all the stupid thoughts and walked out of the school's gate.

"Han Seungwoo, let's talk" A female voice called me.

"Se yeon?"
