Falling All In You

32nd

The next school day came, and Chaeyoung was walking through the hallway with her phone on her ear, glancing behind every now and then feeling awkward by these three men following her.

"Yah, Jennie Kim, is this really necessary?", she whispers on the phone.

"I told you it's for your safety", Jennie replies on the other line, "Irene Bae has bailed out. It's expected, since she's from a family of politicians. So even though I already kicked her out of Crossford, there's no guarantee that she won't be coming back to harm you again."

Chaeyoung heaves out a sigh before glancing back at the bodyguards Jennie sent to escort her. These men picked her up from their house early in the morning, and have been following her to her classes...literally wherever she goes.

"I'm just...not used to it. Y'know it feels creepy that they follow me wherever I go", she whispers even softer so the men couldn't hear her.

"They're harmless, don't worry. Those are my best men. And they know exactly what would happen to them if something bad ever happens to you under their watch."

"Yah, Jen!"

"What? Your safety is my best priority now. I need to protect you at all cost."

Chaeyoung could feel her face heating up at that. She swears she could never get used to Jennie's sweetness.

"Such a sweet tongue you have there", she playfully makes a clicking sound.

The brunette pauses on the other line, before answering, "Was...my tongue really sweet, Chaeyoung?"

"I—"

Jennie bubbles in a laugh, and Chaeyoung wanted to smack the girl's head so bad. Her mind wanders back to that night where they had their first kiss, and she could feel her face flustered again. That was a few days ago, but whenever she thinks about it, she could still feel that tingling sensation on her lips.

"I swear I'll pluck all your small teeth out when I see you, Jennie Kim!"

"Woah there tiger", the brunette lets out one last chuckle, "I was kidding, love."

That shut Chaeyoung up, and she purses her lips to stop a small squeal from coming out. She bets on her life, these three bodyguards behind her are starting to get weirded out by her expression changes.

"Are you on your class yet?", Jennie asks when she didn't respond.

"Um, yes. I'm here now."

"Okay, good. Take care and I'll see you later."

The call ended and Chaeyoung turns to her bodyguards not really knowing what to say.

"We'll wait outside your room, Lady Chaeyoung", one bodyguard told her.

She raises a brow at the courtesy, "What, Lady? No no, I'm not—"

"Lady Jennie told us to call you with Lady", the other bodyguard cut her off, "Because she said she's gonna marry you someday."

This time, Chaeyoung made no effort in hiding her smile anymore. That midget. She really knows the way to Chaeyoung's heart.
