Because it's you | BOOK 1

Part 33

"Let's Talk."

*

"Yeah, that's true."

Taeyeon and the rest had their mouth swung open for the whole time, after hearing Young Master's words slapped them. I couldn't believe it as well that's why I also have my mouth swung open.

"T-the article was t-true.." Jae stattered in marvel. I looked at Young Master and he does the same, he raises his brow at me and before the crowd could even grow more, he pulled me away from the place.

We are here at the Greenfield and my brain suddenly demanded an answer.

"W-why-"

"If you'd tell them, I'd be on thin ice."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Tell them that we're in a relationship, keep it stable and everything will be fine. Just keep me under cover, okay?"

"Young Master, I-I don't get what you mean-"

"Just be natural, it's a fake relationship and I will use you for my sake." He said and my eyes were just still, after hearing his next words.

"Keep me undercover, at all costs. It's fake, anyway."

My fists suddenly clenched out of an unexplained feeling, I looked down and then bitterly smiled.

"U-use me?"

****

I am now inside the classroom, the class were proceeding but the eyes of my classmates fixed onto me isn't comfortable, I know they're surprised to hear such news. Although IT WAS FAKE.

I looked down and just played with my nails, it's quite humiliating that Young Master will use me so he won't get into that trouble he's saying, what if this trouble would cause my life? Alright, let's say that if I said that it would cost my life, it's exaggerating.

Suddenly, a crumpled paper fell right on my table that came from Mingyu, his eyes were fixed at the professor and his fingers played with his pen. I opened the crumpled paper and read the written words.

Let's talk after school.

I sighed and crumpled the paper again and threw it on the trash bin. And I do hope that my classmates would just stop their creepy gazes away from me because first of all, it's obnoxious, second, it looked like I just committed a crime judging by the way they look at me.

Lunchtime came and I spotted Taeyeon and the others sitting together, I came up to them and asked if I could join them.. But, Mingyu had rushed his food and left.. I looked down at them, they gave me that sweet smile and helped me sit down.

"Mingyu isn't feeling well, sorry about that.." Jihyo said. And a small tap on my back made me flinch and move away, Young Master Han sat beside me and started eating. The looks that Taeyeon, Jihyo, Jae and Hangyeol gives me is just so annoying, it's like they'd probably tease me like this on a daily basis. Plus the students around the cafeteria made it worse, I couldn't even hold my spoon because of their eyes on ME.

"Don't make me feed you." Young Master said when he noticed that I haven't been touching my food yet.

"Hi, girls! Can I join you?" Seoyeon asked and sat across me and Young Master Han. "Hello, couples! I enjoyed last night." She said and started eating as well.

okay, this is getting a bit awkward.

"Uhmm.. We have an urgent call.. Hana, see you later!" Taeyeon said and they rushed to left, there's only the three of us left at the table and I almost wanted to leave the table as well, but Young Master held and intertwined my hands to his and made it visible to Seoyeon across us.

Finally lunchtime is over, I quickly walked my way inside the library and met Jisoo holding a stack of books.

"Hey, Hana. I heard the news." He said and I sighed, I continued walking and felt him following me up until I had reached the shelves and take my book.

"What's wrong?"

"It isn't t-true.."

"Really? I can't tell."

"I know.. I can't either." I said and opened the book out of humiliation, this day isn't working out for me.

"Well, I guess your situation is really humiliating." He said and tapped my shoulder. "It's okay, we got your back."

I sighed and just smiled back at Jisoo before he left.

deal with this, Hana.

Hometime came and I was about to leave the classroom in peace when I felt a hand grabbed me by force and pulled me out of the crowd of students immediately, he pulled me at the back of the Greenfield where he was beaten before, his eyes weren't looking fine and it seemed like he wanted to say many things.

He started off sighing and looked down at me with his poker face.

"How long will you keep things to us?" He said that made me look at him, me? keeping things?

"I-I don't understand you.."

"You had been going places without telling us some details, keeping things to yourself and acting like you don't know anything when we ask you." He said and that had made me hit my head, like a cold basin of water was splashed down to me.

"Now, you're keeping things again? This relationship with that guy?" He said that made me clench my fist, again..

"Mingyu, l-let me explain-"

"Explain what? That you don't know anything about the relationship?"

"Mingyu, please listen!"

"NO!"

"I can expla-"

Without even making me finish what I'm saying...

He

Kissed

Me

Mingyu kissed me...
