Because it's you | BOOK 1

Part 23

"Rumored Girl??? ; Pissed off?"

*

I woke up and saw that I am still laying my head on Mingyu's shoulder, I looked at him and saw that he is busy reading something on his phone.

"M-Mingyu. What's that?" I asked.

"The article. About your dating rumor. What even are you? An Idol?" He asked and huffed.

"What are you gonna do?" I asked and he looked at me and smirked.

"You wanted to clear yourself for being Han's rumored girl?" He asked and I nodded. He smiled evilly and pulled me back to the classroom.

"Mingyu, what are you doing?" I asked after he pulled me in front of our whole class.

"Everyone, listen up. You better stop spreading the dating rumors. Because this girl right here...?" He said and pulled me closer to him. "She is mine."

"What?!"

"Then it isn't true? Whoah."

"The dating rumors about Master Han is not true?"

"Yes, believe it or not. This girl is mine and cannot be for other guys already." Mingyu said. I got frozen in front of everyone after him revealing his lame idea of removing me from the dating rumors.

"Is it true, Hana? Now I know why you're so close to each other!" Taeyeon said and smiled.

"Now, you have heard me. Loosen yourself and whoever posted this nonsense article is so lame." Mingyu said and pulled me back to my chair.

"Oh, Hana. You have caught the heart of a new guy! It's only been a month since he came but he already likes you. I'm jealous!" Jihyo said and pouted playfully.

"He likes Mingyu." Taeyeon whispered and smiled. I got surprised to hear what Taeyeon have said and I quickly pulled her out of the room.

"Taeyeon-ah! T-this isn't true... We're not dating. H-he just came up with his lame idea to take me away from the dating rumors." I said.

"What? So.. You're really not dating?" Taeyeon asked and her smile grew bigger with excitement.

"U-uh.. Yeah. You have to believe me. And.. Young Master doesn't know about the rumor yet. So Mingyu did this and ordered to delete the post before Young Master Han could even see." I said and Taeyeon nodded.

"I see. If he really have seen it already, then this must be dooms day." Taeyeon said and sighed before entering the room with me.

Classes went hectic and we have been running around the hallways for our projects. Our examinations are already in two days and there's not enough time to waste.

"Hana, have you passed the papers to the fourth department?" Annie, our classmate asked.

"Oh, I'm about to." I said and took the papers. I am now walking my way to the fourth department and met Jisoo.

"Hey, sister-in-law. Haven't meet you these past days." He said and smiled. I winced as I heard the word "sister-in-law"

"H-hey... D-does he know?" I asked and he shook his head with a smile.

"Don't worry. I heard someone already propertied you and ordered to delete the article." Jisoo said and I nodded and looked away.

"I-It was just for the sake of Young Master, I-I'm still single... That guy was my friend." I said and he smiled.

"I see. Anyways, where are you going? Let me help you with this." He said and took some of the papers I'm holding.

"To the fourth department." I said and he nodded and we walked together.

"But I am not actually sure, Han wasn't talking to us since that day the article was released. I think he knew but just didn't responded." Jisoo said and I sighed.

"Who knows? But... What if he knew? Will he hurt the one who released those?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Young Master Han. He never hurt anyone unless they hurt the person he loves, the person that is important for him. It's been years already since he hurted someone." Jisoo said and I looked at him.

"Who? Uhmm.. Who is this person he protected?" I asked out of curiosity. Jisoo looked at me and just chuckled.

"She's from Young Master's past. He wouldn't like to talk about it or even think about it anymore." He said.

"He must be deeply hurt in his past..."

"Yes he is. So he turned cold, that moment of his life hurted him and purged a big knife in his heart." Jisoo said and opened the department's door.

"I would like to ask more questions. But I don't like to hurt anyone, so I'll settle it." I said and placed down the papers at the table. Jisoo smiled and nodded.

"Not soon enough, I know he could adjust himself already." Jisoo said.

Lunchtime, I am eating with Mingyu while the four girls are still busy with their projects. I looked around and saw that some of our classmates are looking at the two of us.

"Don't mind them." Mingyu said and I looked down.

"It's your fault. They give me such looks." I said and pouted.

"Instead of being given disgusted looks, it's better this way. They think you don't suit for Han." Mingyu said and stood up.

"I'm done. Follow up at the Music Room later." Mingyu said and I am now left alone at the table. I continued eating and not even a minute have passed when someone sat in front of me. His presence is really heavy that I can't even throw a single glance at him.

"I've heard." He said that made me gulp.

"O-oh..." Is all that escaped my lips. What could I even say?

I sighed and looked at him slowly.

"Young Master, I-It's not what it looks like... W-we both know we're not dating, right?" I said and he raised his brow.

"What do you mean? I am talking about you being propertied already." Young Master said and my mouth swung open. Wait, what?! He heard that Mingyu propertied me?!

"O-oh... Y-you heard...?" I asked and he didn't replied. He placed down his chopstick and looked at me.

"Yes." He said with a hard tone and left.

What's gotten into him?

Is he... Pissed off?
