ARRANGED DEAL ; [??? x ???]

Chapter 15

Junhui is kinda picky.

-

It's already Lunch Break, and Jeonghan decided Junhui to tag him along with his other friends. "Wonwoo's there," Jeonghan told him, and Junhui quickly fixed his things. Jeonghan laughed at Junhui's actions. He's probably interested in Wonwoo.

When Junhui is done, both of them made their way out of the classroom and happens to ran with Areum and her friends. Jeonghan was about to ignore her when Areum called his name out, "Yoon. Jeong. Han."

She's copying my style. Jeonghan thought. He suddenly remembers the very first day he met Seungcheol one on one. And their first kiss suddenly shows up in his mind and he erased the thought immediately.

He turned his head on Areum who's glaring at him right now. Junhwi was confused what was happening. "Oh, so you're hitting on another guy now, huh?" Areum sarcastically said and crossed her arms. She scanned both Junhui and Jeonghan.

"I saw how you stared at him while Seungcheol's talking to you." She continued to scan both of them. And there, Junhui got the idea of who she is. She's the ex girlfriend.

"What a good behavior of a good boyfriend." Areum sounds so sarcastic that made Jeonghan clench his fist. He doesn't want to fight with her. He's a man, and she's still a girl. He can't just hurt her like anyone.

"What a shame. You're too handsome for this man," Areum said, talking to Junhui as she scan him, but she's pertaining to Jeonghan.

When will she even shut her fucking mouth up? I'll punch her right in the face, I swear. Jeonghan thought. But he's trying to control his anger. It would be a bad outcome for his image, specially he's the Student Council President.

She scanned them once again, especially Jeonghan. "Slut." the word came out on Areum's mouth when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist facing him.

Areum was about to burst out in rage when she realized that it was Seungcheol who grabbed her. "What the heck, Seungcheol?!" Areum yelled and tried to release herself from Seungcheol's grip.

Jeonghan and Junhui were both in shock with what happened. He just treated her like that infront of everyone in the hallway.

"S-Seungcheol.." Jeonghan tried to call Seungcheol's name, but all of them can see it. He's raging. He's mad.

"Never ever call my man a slut again." Seungcheol emphasized every single word, especially the My Man.

"But he's hitting on with this transferee!" Areum shouted, hoping she would wake Seungcheol up. But everything was so confusing for her when Seungcheol started to laugh. "He's not hitting on Junhui. They're friends. I know who Junhui is." Seungcheol explained making Areum's jaws dropped.

Areum looked at Junhui and he shrugged. How come they didn't tell me earlier?! Areum frustratingly thought.

"Geez. Judging a book by its cover without even knowing the whole story." Junhui commented, clearly judging her. Areum glared at him.

"Tch," she walked out with her friends. Yena and Nayun even took a glance on Junhui before waving their hands on him. Junhui smirked. Girls...

"Let's go," Jeonghan said and dragged the two away.

The three of them went to the cafeteria, Junhui's mood immediately lit up when he saw Wonwoo, eating politely. He sat next to him, and looks like Wonwoo didn't mind.

They're sitting in a circle. Joshua and Seokmin were the only ones there, Jihoon and Seungkwan were nowhere to be seen, same with Vernon.

"Where's Vernon?" Seungcheol asked Mingyu and Wonwoo. Mingyu didn't respond, but Wonwoo did. "He's out with Seungkwan."

"Eh? Since when they started hanging out together?" Jeonghan asked, but all of them shrugged. All they know is that, both of them likes each other, but they didn't know that everything will turn out this way.

"Why Jeonghan didn't even bother to call me? It's been days since we're here in Japan." Sowon said, staring at her phone. She's patiently waiting for her boyfriend to call, but days has passed, but there's no sign of Yoon Jeonghan.

Eunwoo sighed and sat beside her. He pat her head to make her feel better. "I'm sure he's gonna call you sooner or later. Maybe he's just busy." Eunwoo said, trying to make her feel better with his words. It's possible tho.

Yeah, maybe busy with someone. Sowon thought but she shrugged it off.

"Jeonghan will always find a way to call me. But now, there's no sign of him. Literally no sign of him." Sowon sighed and put her phone aside. She lay down on her bed while Eunwoo stared at her before leaving her room.

She stared at the ceiling, thinking what Jeonghan might be doing at this time. Is he thinking about her? Or is he busy with the Student Council? Or, is he busy with Seungcheol?

"He loves me. I know..." Sowon mumbles to herself before drifting to sleep.

She can't hide it. She can't hide the fact that even though she knew that Jeonghan's a straight guy, but there's still a high chance of him falling for the guy he would hold hands with, while she's on overseas. Feelings can be playful. Don't be fooled.

Sowon admits to herself that she's not confident enough. Ever since she saw them together at the airport, she saw the spark between them. The tension between them. There is a spark that she never saw in Jeonghan before.

Seungcheol is someone you can't really tell if straight or nah. But all Sowon knew is, she can't stand two months away from her boyfriend, while he's doing such lovey-dovey moments with Seungcheol in public because of their deal. Those are the things that he never did with Sowon.

He would always take her out for dinner but he's too careful with everything. Sowon wonders on how Jeonghan would perform with this deal.

"He's just too beautiful to be resisted by someone like Seungcheol."

Lunch break has ended and everyone gathered in their respective classes. Jeonghan patiently waited for Mr Nam to come in for the announcement regarding the camping that will be done on Friday next week.

A lot of students were chatting about random stuffs, when Mr Nam suddenly came in and everyone went back to their respective seats.

"Okay everyone, I have an announcement to make," Mr Nam started and everyone lend their ears on him. "We will be having a camping, friday next week. So, as your homeroom teacher, I'm gonna group you into five person each tent. Tents will be provided by the school." Mr Nam continued and everyone squealed in excitement.

Mr Nam started to group them altogether.

"Lee Jihoon, Kwon Soonyoung, Lee Chan, Seo Myungho and Jooheon."

"Boo Seungkwan, Chwe Hansol, Kim Mingyu, Jeon Wonwoo, Moon Junhui."

"And lastly... Choi Seungcheol, Yoon Jeonghan-" Before Mr Nam could even continue, Seungcheol immediately cuts him off, "It's just us sir. That's final. Jeonghan and I will share the tent. Only us."

"O-Oh.. so it's gonna be Lee Seokmin, Hong Jisoo, Lee Areum, Kim Nayun and Jung Yena." Mr Nam continued.

"Class dismissed."

Seungcheol smirked at Jeonghan who has a shocked face, "I can't let anyone join the both of us in one tent." Seungcheol whispered before fixing his posture.
