ADRONITIS

chapter 39

"Freedom", I muttered to myself when I was finally done with my last class.

I was suddenly saddened when I remembered Harvey. He always would be happy to get out of class and would rant to me about random things about school. I grabbed my bag and left.

"Hey bitch"

I turned around to see Renjun approaching me. He stayed beside me and stared at me.

"What are you doing here?", I asked.

"I obviously study here", he said and chuckled.

"I'm serious", I said, not wanting to joke around.

"I'm here to make sure no one talks behind your back", he said, pointing to a few of the people who were staring at us. "Jaemin asked me to do this since he has family problems to attend to"

"Oh, but why you?", I asked as the two of us walked down the hall.

"Why not me?", he questioned. "I think I'm pretty good as well"

"I mean, Haechan was pretty cool this morning", I shrugged.

"You see, I don't have as much freedom as him", he scoffed. "His uncle is the principal"

"Well, you do have a point", I said.

"Right, your brother will pick you up", Renjun said as we both arrived at the parking lot. "He wants to talk out everything. Give him a chance alright? He has changed. He's not that old Jaehyun anymore. Why can't you trust him?"

"I feel like he's hiding more than just that", I sighed. "There's one thing that never made sense. Most models don't get that much money in just two years. How can he be a billionaire that quickly?"

"You have a point. You should ask him, not me", he said. "We all have secrets of our own, which are hard for us to tell others. He must've had a good reason, Sera"

"What the heck, you just said my name", I was shocked.

"Don't test it bitch", he chuckled.

"And he's back", I laughed.

"Your brother is there", Renjun pointed out. "You'll be okay, just tell him your honest feelings"

"Alright, I will", I said and made my way towards Jaehyun's car.

I opened it and sat down without saying anything. I put on my seatbelt and fiddled my fingers.

"I'll take you to the ice cream shop and let's talk about it there", Jaehyun said and started to drive.

Once we arrived, I got out and we both went inside the shop and ordered the ice cream we wanted. I got vanilla while Jaehyun got green tea. We sat down at a table that was farther from the other tables.

"So?", I questioned him as I ate my ice cream.

"I'm pretty sure you know the whole story, so I'll tell you my side", Jaehyun said. "I was stupid, I admit it. I lost my best friend and someone I actually started to love that day. What I learned was that sometimes, the right person for you isn't always the person for you"
