Chapter thirteen

I can't believe I'm doing this right now, but I stop in my steps as I reach the janitors closet and I wait for a few minutes before he walks up to me

"I'm not late today, am I?" He smirks like nothing ever happened the other day

"For once" I roll my eyes

"Wait, I forgot something" He runs away from me, leaving me stranded before I can even utter a word

Then she walks up to me, Ha-eun stops in front of me, but instead of her usual smug look, she has a soft glint in her eyes as she looks at me

I don't say anything as I don't want to provoke her and maybe make her mood switch

"I wanted to say I'm sorry"

I almost gasp at the words, she's sorry?

You mean the girl who has been torturing me and hitting me for two weeks is apologising right now?

"Is this some sort of joke?" I mutter, not wanting to make her change her mind but also wanting to know the truth

"No, it's the truth, I've been thinking and I shouldn't have hated you for liking Heeseung, I mean everybody does" She tries to laugh it off

"I don't like Heeseung, and I never did"

"Then why were you giving him lifts home and talking to him?" She questions

"He talks to me and we had a detention together, he practically threw himself in my car before I could say a word" I explain

"Oh..." Her eyes dance around the empty hallway, embarrassed that she was wrong

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry and you can talk to Heeseung all you want" Her eyes finally meet mine again

"I appreciate that, thank you" A small smile creeps up on my face as I can't stop it from happening

"I'll see you around" She smiles before walking off and Heeseung arrives back as soon as she leaves

"What did she say to you?" He asks

"It's none of your business" I begin to walk to my car and he follows

"Well she didn't hit you, is she hitting you with her words now instead?" He sarcastically asks me

"She was apologising, something even you can't bring yourself to do"

He doesn't a word back and I can see him trying to hide his smile as we enter my car

"And that's ten" He says as I fall to the ground

"You been training yourself?" He asks

"Every night" I gasp sitting up

"Good" He replies and throws me a pair of boxing gloves

"Are you actually gonna teach me or just criticise me this time?" I ask putting them on

"Well that depends" He shrugs

I throw a punch and he catches my arm, he begins laughing but I yank my arm back and do a spinning hook and kick him in the face, he stumbles back

"What the fuck was that?!" He exclaims, clearly pissed off

"I thought you couldn't fight?"

"I watched tutorials" I admit

"So why are we here then if you could just watch stuff? Are you seriously that obsessed with me?" He chuckles

"No, I just need another opinion" I shrug

He's about to speak when his maid walks into the room, greeting us politely

"Mr Lee, there is someone at the door for you" She smiles at him

"I'll be down in a minute" He responds, "Thanks" He adds on

I almost gasp in surprise, he said thanks?

Since when did he gain a little bit of manners and respect

"Wait here" He tells me and leaves the room, I take off the boxing gloves and grab my phone, looking at the opened message I sent to Ni-Ki

Can we talk?Read 2 days ago

He's ignoring me and I get why, but I don't get why he won't just hear me out, I mean yes I'm secretly hanging out with Heeseung but it's only for my benefit, I need to learn

A few minutes later Heeseung stumbles into the room, his face bloody as he runs for the bathroom

"What happened?" I ask as he slams the door in my face, "Heeseung?" I gently knock the door

"Fuck off Haerin!" He shouts at me

"Just go home, we're done today"

"What do you mean we're done? We've barely did anything?!" I exclaim opening the door to see him lying against the wall, blood dripping from his face into his shirt

"What happened?" I ask again

"Let's just say, someone I fought wasn't to happy I won" He mutters

"But it's good, not the first time it happened"

"And how many times does this happen?" I cross my arms

"A bit more than a little" He admits

"Is this about that boxing match you do all the time?"

"Why do you care?" He looks up at me with doe eyes, and I feel butterflies in my stomach, why are his eyes so emotional?

"Well if you're gonna keep getting beaten, how am I meant to learn?"

"Of course, it has to be about you" He chuckles

"Well yeah, I'm not gonna risk anything just because you want to go and fight other people, I'm also pretty sure it's illegal" I point out

"And what?" He stands up suddenly

"I mean where are your parents while you're doing this?!" I finally realise, he's never once mentioned his parents, and I've never seen or heard of them, from anyone

"Get out" He points to the door and I look at him confused

"I said get out!" He raises his voice

"Fine!" I also raise my voice and storm out of the bathroom, grabbing my school bag and l tears begin steaming down my face

I walk out the door and call my driver when someone I know walks up

"Haerin?" Jake questions

"Oh uhm- hi?" I respond to him embarrassed, wiping away my tears

"Why are you at Heeseungs?" He asks

"It doesn't matter, just please don't tell anyone" I plead

"No Ni-Ki was right? You have Heeseung have been hooking up secretly?"

"What no?!" I exclaim frustrated

"I just had to give him homework" I lie

"Then why are you leaving his house crying? Surely homework doesn't make you cry, Haerin" He points out

"I-I'm not crying" I stammer

"I can see the tears, I'm not stupid"

"What's up?"

"He's a dickhead!" I finally admit as Jake just looks at me like he already knows

"He's like this with every girl, he gets bored easily and tosses them away when he's done" Jake explains

"No, Jake, me and Heeseung are nothing, it's not that" I shut down the idea again

"Then explain it?" He suggests sitting down on Heeseungs porch and tapping the ground beside me, telling me to also sit down

"We just had an arrangement but he's a dickhead and now Ni-Ki is ignoring me because of him and Heeseung won't tell him the truth and I don't know what to do and I-" I rant before he cuts me off

"One thing at a time"

"Okay—" I sit down but I get interrupted by the front door opening, we both turn to the door to see Heeseung standing there

"I thought I told you to leave?" He glances at me with a harsh tone in his voice

"Sorry" I mutter getting up and scurrying away from his house

"Give her a break" I faintly hear Jake say as I ring my driver

Liwk kinda a filler but it's okay I've been busy these last couple of days

Hope u still enjoyed
