For life | ??? (Yang Jungwon)

decelis academy. it was located basically in the middle of no where.

almost near the school gate, the boys and i finally slowed down.

"aera, welcome to decelis academy!" the boys said through telepathy, since it would be embarrassing saying it loudly.

"it's quite big, huh?" i said. "yes. because, fun fact, decelis academy is not only a high school. It is a middle, high school to college!" sunoo exclaimed excitedly.

"now, we want you to promise, okay, ae?" jungwon said with his serious face. "whatever you do, never, EVER talk to or get involved with park jihoon, okay?" he held my shoulders.

"possessive much?" jake asked. they all chuckled. but in an instant, their faces got serious again. "no but seriously, don't"

"what did he do?" i asked out of curiosity. "you don't wanna know" jay shook his head, eyeing heeseung.

jungwon said through telepathy, "i'll tell you about it, soon. don't worry"

jungwon said, giving me a telephatic picture of this Jihoon guy. "right, I'll make sure I don't cross path with him" i said.

"it's alright, you will be with me so i'll make sure he doesn't even look at you or else i'll break his neck" niki said with angry eyes.

but then he quickly turned back to his happy face and smiled innocently at me. "sunoo, jungwon, niki, take good care of her" jake said.

"huh? but aren't you guys gonna be with me, too?" i asked.

"our classes are in another building. so that's why i really need you to stick with them, alright?" heeseung said with his worried face.

i nodded, showing him i understood.

when I got inside the class, everybody looked at me like i was some sort of a celebrity.

"isn't that the princess?" someone said. i held jungwon's hand tighter. he took me to my seat, which was in front of niki, in between him and sunoo.

in front of me was a pretty girl. she turned to me, greeted the boys with a smile then spoke, "hello, you must be aera the crown princess i'm eunchae, nice to meet you" we shook hands.

"hi, nice to meet you too" i smiled softly. "we still have half an hour before class starts, wanna walk around the school? i'll show you around" she asked with a soft smile.

"can I?" i eyed the three of them. "go ahead. watch out for him, eunchae" sunoo said. eunchae smiled and nodded with excitement.

"let's go, then!" eunchae exclaimed, as we both stood up and walked arms interlocked.

we walked around the whole school which took us 20 minutes, then we settled down at the garden.

"which part of the school was your favorite?" eunchae asked. "i think the nightball field. it seemed interesting" i said.

"did you know that enhypen plays nightball? oh, who am I kidding? they're the school's only senior nightball team!" eunchae said.

"oh really? they never told me about that" i said. "damn. but you should really watch them play sometime, they're really good"

recess

"ae, do you wanna sit with me at the cafeteria?" eunchae asked. "sorry, eunchae, but i'd have to decline your offer. maybe tomorrow?" i said with an apologetic smile.

"no, yeah. that's fine!" she smiled back and waved at me. i ran to catch up with niki, sunoo and jungwon who were already far away.

"why didn't you wait for me?" i said. "sorry, we thought you were gonna sit with eunchae, so we left you" sunoo smiled brightly.

"aera, did you know? niki has a-" jungwon couldn't finish his sentence, because i did it for him, "a crush on eunchae? i know." "how the hell?" niki asked in disbelief.

"i just do" i shrugged. "anyway, i'm starving"

once we arrived, i almost immediately saw heeseung and the others sitting on a table not too far away from the entrance. heeseung waved his hand at me.

we four approached them and sat together. that was when...

"how was your first day, or rather, night, at school?" jake asked like a real older brother would. "amazing. i made a friend already" i smirked at niki.

"who?" jay asked. "niki's crush" i could see from my peripheral vision that niki widened his eyes so big it almost looked like they were going to pop out.

"oh, i never knew niki had a crush" heeseung said. "neither did i" the older guys said.

"she basically showed me around and- how come you guys never told me you guys play nightball?" I asked.

"you never asked" sunghoon shrugged. "teach me some time, hm?" i asked.

"with pleasure" heeseung smiled at me.

i saw jungwon was done eating, and i was, too. so i asked him,

"wanna go out for some air?" i muttered to jungwon. "sure," he whispered back.

"guys, excuse us for a bit" i said, taking jungwon's hand and walked to the garden, just the two of us.

"so, what happened to heeseung earlier?" i finally asked.
