Distractions

~Chapter 8~

"You know-" Hyejin suddenly turns her head to face Jungsoo. Their faces were very close. Too close. She quickly looks away when Jungsoo reaches for her cheek for her to look back at him. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment until Jungsoo slowly leaned, closing his eyes. Hyejin never kissed a boy before so she just shut her eyes, waiting for impact. His soft lips met hers as her stomach was drowned with butterflies. They slowly madeout until they were out of breath. They pulled away. Hyejin looked down then bit her lip, embarrassed. Jungsoo smiles to himself.

"We should probably head back, it's getting late." Jungsoo finally said.
"Right. My dad's probably waiting for me."

~~~

Jungsoo drove her home. They got out the car.
"See you on Monday?" Jungsoo said.
"Yeah. Bye!"
Jungsoo watched her walk to her front door.
"Wait-" He ran up to her and grabbed her.
"Can I have a kiss?" He asked.
She smiled and cupped her hands on his face and leaned in for a kiss.
"Now go."
"Alright, alright," Jungsoo laughed. He watched her go inside and then headed home.

~~~

He got home and walked through the door to see a man sitting on the couch.
"Dad..?"

~~~

The house was dark so Hyejin walked to her dad's room to check on him. He was asleep in his bed.
She then went to Jinae's room to see her sitting up on her bed looking out the window. She walks in and sits on her bed. Jinae turns around and hugs Hyejin.
[In sign language]
"Hey! Why are you still up?"
"I just woke up out of nowhere," Jinae laughs.
"Yeah? Well I have something to tell you~!!"
"Is it about that wink to shot me before you left the house? Dad was worried about you."
"Yeah, yeah. Now let me spill."
The sisters had a conversation that lasted the whole night until they knocked out on the bed.

~~~

"Why were you out so late?" Jungsoo's dad asked smiling.
"Hey dad!" He walked to his dad while he got up and shook his hand then hugged him. "When'd you get home?"
"Around 6. But that's not the point. Who were you out with this time?"
"Oh, just my friends."
"Well I came to tell you I'm going to be on a very long business trip. I won't be back until next year summer. Will you be fine on your own? I'll call nanny S-"
"You'll miss my graduation?"
"Son," his dad started.
"Never mind. It's fine. I don't need a nanny."
"You're sure?"
Jungsoo faked a smile.
"Yeah."
He walked to his room and slammed the door. His said sighed.

*Fast forward a few weeks*

Jungsoo picked Hyejin up for school. They walk into homeroom together and sit in the back, as usual. As the teacher takes attendance and says morning announcements, Jungsoo grabs Hyejin's hand and intertwines their fingers. Hyejin smiles and puts her leg on top of his. There were many eyes on them but they couldn't care less. Haewon turned to them to see them flirting. She was broken and it made her despise of Hyejin even more. Minnie looked at Haewon then looked towards the direction she was looking in.
"Hey, don't be so focused on him. You deserve way better."
Haewon turned back to the front and sighed.
"I have a plan."

~~~

It was time for lunch and Hyejin told Jungsoo she had to go somewhere so he decided to hang with his friends. They went to their usual spot in the front of the school near the flower garden.
"I see you finally won her over.. I guess we have to be your servants." Minsung groans.
"Why would you remind him?!" Suho exclaims, pinching Minsung.
"OWWW!!"

"You're still hooked on that? It's not a bet anymore. I actually like her."
Minsung and Suho stare at each other shocked.
"OoOoOoOo," they both teased Jungsoo.
"Why are you so surprised?"
"Well you never actually catch feelings for the girls that you date so.." Suho said. Minsung agreed.
"Whatever. Where's Jaehyoung?"
Minsung and Suho both shrugged.

~~~

Hyejin was walking with Seonmin to the roof to hang out as they haven't really spent time with each other lately. They sat at the bench and were talking when a boy walked up to the roof and approached Hyejin.
"You're Hyejin, right?"
Hyejin looked at Seonmin confused and Seonmin shrugged.
"Yeah...why?"
"I'm Jaehyoung, Jungsoo's friend. I need to talk to you."
