Jaehyun Fanfic | To save you - EP. 8 < Creepy Feeling >

Jaehyun looked flustered, then soon collapsed into my arms and cried endlessly.

And how much time had passed? At some point, you went quiet, then lifted your head.

명재현

I-I’m sorry.

문하나

Why are you sorry? I’m the one who just acted on my own..

명재현

N-no, that’s really fine, I..

명재현

..!

문하나

..? Why?

명재현

Your clothes..

Looking at my clothes, as expected, they were covered in Jaehyun’s tear stains.

문하나

Pfft, and here I thought it was something serious. It’s nothing like this.

문하나

...

I really wanted to ask why he was crying, and what that wound on his face was. But I couldn’t do that to someone who had been sobbing just moments ago, so I just held him.

A few days after that,

I was worried it might get awkward after that day, but instead, Jaehyun and I grew even closer.

Before, he answered in a blunt, short, dry way, but now there’s almost no difference, really, and somehow his way of speaking feels warmer.

There were also a lot more times we spent in the empty classroom that only the two of us knew about. We’d even eat lunch together sometimes.. it was really nice, but! One problem came up.

The other kids’ stares.

Myeong Jaehyun is popular. So popular it’s way too much.

So I, the only girl who hung around him all the time, became the target of hatred from the girls who liked Myeong Jaehyun..

Jaehyun didn’t seem to care at all.. is he used to it? But this is my first time dealing with something like this, and it’s so overwhelming and hurtful..

I haven’t heard anything that harsh yet, but there have been plenty of remarks bad enough to ruin your mood, like, “Who does she think she is, hanging around Jaehyun?” and “She’s not even that pretty,” and more..

Squeak-

명재현

You got here fast.

문하나

Yeah, I just wake up early these days..

명재현

Don’t doze off in class..

문하나

Haha, I will once exam season comes~

명재현

Exactly. The mock exam is coming up soon.

문하나

Huh? Whoa, right, there is the March mock exam..

The March mock exam. Even if I’ve regressed, I still take the same tests, but I was so focused on Myeong Jaehyun that I didn’t even think about exams..

The thought of having to study again.. I hate it so much, but still, maybe we can study together?

문하나

Then I should start studying today! Wait here, I’ll go grab my notebook from the classroom

-

문하나

Ugh, having to study again..

As I muttered and opened the classroom door, all the girls inside turned their attention to me at once. Then soon they started whispering among themselves.

Feeling uneasy under that nasty vibe, I quickly grabbed only my notebook and hurried to leave, walking fast toward my seat to pull it out.

And just as I turned to head out of the classroom,

우여진

Hey, Hana~

Woo Yejin spoke to me. She looked super cute, but her heavy makeup made it impossible to see her real face, and her voice had that annoying, whining lilt. She definitely seemed nice at first, but there was something off about her.

문하나

Uh.. me?

우여진 친구 1

Yeah, you. Who else would “Hana” be here besides you?

우여진

Ah~ hehe whyyy..

문하나

Ah.. yeah, what is it?

우여진

Nothing in particularrr, but do you knooow where Jaehyun is?

우여진

From what I saw, you seem close with Jaehyun~ The kid who used to come early and study suddenly disappeared, so I was wondering hehe

Ah, she likes Myeong Jaehyun. Her sarcastic tone, pretending otherwise, makes me want to frown. I know, but that place is just for the two of us, so I hadn’t even told Wonhee..

문하나

Well.. maybe he’s at the library or something..?

우여진

Mm.. you don’t know? Hm, haha, got it. Thanks, Hana~

문하나

Uh, yeah..

우여진 친구 1

You don’t know? haha. Anyone can tell you do..

우여진 친구 2

Exactly~ Isn’t she on her way to meet him right now anyway? That fox of a bitch. haha

우여진

Hehe..

As I walked toward the door, I heard whispering voices. And maybe it was because I had good hearing, or maybe they were saying it loud on purpose so I’d hear. I heard everything. “That fox of a bitch”..
