You were smart and kind, (probably would be class president if it wasn’t for Jun-Hee) he was a rich mean bully, completely opposites. So how did you end up like this? You always talked about how obnoxious he was, and you were sure that he talked about you too. So you didn’t expect when you were forced to be his tutor that it would turn from forcing him to put effort him, as he mumbled under his breath and began to argue with you. To seeing a slight difference in his cold side and actually enjoying your after school meetings.

Meetings at the library turned into meeting at the park or a café, to hanging out without bringing your books. He was still his cold and sometimes mean self but you could tell he genuinely liked being around you, and you liked being around him. You liked seeing the softer side of him, and he liked making you smile.

But the one thing you didn’t expect for him to do was kiss you. What you didn’t expect even more is when you didn’t wanna pull away.

And after a few days where you guys avoided each other in awkwardness he suggested keeping whatever you guys had a secret. You weren’t against the idea, someone like you dating a bully wouldn’t look good for you.

So you agreed.

Now a month after that conversation it’s time for your class trip. Everyone is loading into the bus when you realize you left your jacket in one of the science lab so you head back inside. You look around your seat but don’t see it anywhere when you hear the door open. It was Kyung-Jun and he was holding your jacket.

“Did you take that on purpose?” You ask.

“Maybe.” He says before closing the door and walking towards you. “I wanted a moment alone with you before we left.”

You can’t help but smile a bit. Sometimes you guys argued, he’d act like he didn’t care but deep down you knew he did. Especially when he chased a guy who stole your bag and started screaming and yelling at him until the guy cried before you convinced him to stop.

Emotions for him meant weakness. He’d tried to keep up his mean and indifference act, most of the time he would. But you were able to break it down even the slightest.

He cupped your cheek as he kissed you, you put your hand on top of his and he pulled you closer. The kiss was soft but urgent, as if he was aware of the limited time you two had.

When suddenly—

Jung-Won:{{user}}?

You hear her voice from outside the door and both of you pull away just in time as the door opens and she walks inside.

Jung-Won:”Me and Yoon-Seo are trying to save you a seat, what’s taking you so long?” She questioned before looking at Kyung-Jun, “And what are you doing with him?”

Any softens in his eyes vanished as he let out a scoff and rolled his eyes before shoving your jacket towards your chest. “Why would I walk to keep her jacket any longer? I just found it on the floor, and it stinks anyway. Now hurry up slow-pokes.”

He put his hands in his pockets and began to walk towards the door but not before giving you one more glance that says.

“I don’t mean that of course.”

You put the jacket on as his figure began to vanish, those side glances were one of the subtle ways he would communicate.
