Chapter 40

[Jiho]

"I could've kicked that bastard's face if I was there. Y'all are weak." Mark boasts while I smiled, I was currently telling them what happened earlier in my previous school. "You should've brought him here, just to avenge Jiho."

I made a face, "I'm not dead, and don't you dare bring him here or I'll make you eat my shoe." I warned Jisung, who is really ecstatic about beating Hangyul up. There's still not over what he did to me weeks ago. Then Jeno called my name, "You aren't hurt or anything?"

I shook my head, "I'm fine, I have my bodyguards with me." I jokingly said, "Then damn you have beautiful bodyguards." "Shut up, Zhong Chenle."

"Why are you even asking that, Lee Jeno? We won't let that fucker hurt Jiho again." "I'm just asking as her friend." "Friend, my ass." Haechan said, making the other laugh and me, a bit uneasy. Talking about Jeno still feels not right but hopefully, I can treat Jeno the same way I did before.

I feel sorry for distancing myself from him, but I know that he means well.

We continued to talk until someone opened our door, it was Mrs. Ki, "Jiho-ya, someone's looking for you by the gate." For some reason, I felt a little anxious, I turn to the boys, "I-I'll be back." I bid before coming with Mrs. Ki.

She has an unusual smile on her lips, making me feel more anxious, "Who is it, Mrs. Ki?"

"Jiho-ya, you didn't tell me that you're the daughter of Kim Namhyun. You're a child of a well-known businessman, we have numerous students here that are born with a silver spoon in their mouth but I did not know that you're a part of them!"

I knew it, it's my dad.

When I reached the school gate, an expensive-looking car was parked in front of it, and by the looks of the bodyguards, I know that my dad is inside, "Jiho-ya!"

I smiled fakely, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Taking you out for lunch, don't worry I already told your teacher. Come in!"

"Can I atleast say goodbye to my friends?" I asked, he then nodded and smiled, with that I ran all the way to the classroom. I saw Jaemin and Jeno waiting by the door, "Who is it?"

I sighed, "My dad, he wants to have lunch with me."

Jeno held my arm, "And you're going?" I nodded, "I can't just hide myself from him that easily, and maybe nothing will go wrong today." I answered before removing his hand, "I'll tell you guys if something happens, okay?" I grabbed my bag from my seat and looked at Haechan, "Don't worry, I'll be okay." I assured him before exiting the room.

But before I could take another step, a hand was already holding mine, I looked back and saw Jaemin. Weirdly, my heartbeat fastened, "Call us." he said before releasing me. I suddenly remembered the favor I asked him, and he's actually doing it. I nodded before walking again to the gate.

With hesitations, I went in the car and buckled the seatbelt, "Where are we going?"

"Actually Jiho, I'm planning to reveal you as my daughter, that someday who will inherit the company. I know what you're thinking, about the money and inheritance, but for once, give the chance to show you off as my daughter, even if you don't see me as your dad. Is that alright?"

I felt a bit guilty, but I nodded, "Just tell me where we are going."

"A restaurant near here. And also, I called Seojun. I told him to meet us later in the mall near that restaurant."

I silently listened to my dad while looking at my phone, Jeno texted me.

Jeno: Tell me first if something goes wrong or something isn't right

Jeno: I'm worried that you might cry again

Jeno: Or just call me

I smile while reading the messages from him, does this mean he actually likes me? I only had crushes, but no one ever liked me, only him. Then my phone beeped again, revealing Jaemin's ID.

Jaemin: Be strong, you don't have my hand to hold.
