CHAPTER TWELVE

Sowon and Eunwoo flew to Japan. Eunha went home while Jeonghan is now outside the airport. He immediately roamed his eyes around, trying to spot Seungcheol.

"Looking for me?" Jeonghan turned his head and he spotted Seungcheol playing with his car keys.

"Why did you told her about our deal?" Jeonghan couldn't control his anger. But he's trying to control himself not to punch Seungcheol right now.

"Why? Are you afraid to tell her? It's much better that she knows, better than being a clueless fool." Seungcheol justified and Jeonghan sighed in defeat. Well, Seungcheol is right. "I'm sorry. I just really thought that she needs to know it." Seungcheol added. "Alright, alright." Jeonghan said.

"Now, let's go on our fake date." Seungcheol smirked and hopped in his car. Jeonghan also hopped in.

Look at how the mood changes so fast. After being so nice and all yesterday night, now they're fighting again.

Few minutes later while on a ride, Jeonghan couldn't help but think about what Sowon is doing. She's with that Eunwoo guy, and it really shows that he has this interest in her, and now, he's really anxious about what might happen. Sowon is too pretty to handle and Eunwoo is too handsome. There's a high possibility that she might fall for him. It's not that he doesn't have any trust with her, but feelings are playful.

"Still thinking about her?" Seungcheol asked, eyes fixed on the road. "Trust her." Seungcheol simply said.

He's telling Jeonghan to trust her, but why did he did the opposite with Areum? That's also Jeonghan's thought. He seems experienced, but also seems to be showing the exact opposite with what he was saying, right?

"You seems spacing out. Now I know where to take you." Seungcheol smirked, but Jeonghan didn't say any word. He can't process anything now. Sowon is occupying his mind. He can't take off of her off his head.

-

"We're here," Seungcheol said and parked the car. Jeonghan looked, and they're at the park.

"What are we gonna do here?" Jeonghan asked and took off his seatbelt alone. He doesn't want to caught himself staring at Seungcheol once again.

Seungcheol hopped out of the car and went to Jeonghan's side, he opened the door, "To relax your mind." He said and offered his hand on Jeonghan.

Jeonghan almost forgot that he needs to hold hands with him on public. 50$ is what at stake here and he needs it for his plans.

Seungcheol intertwined it and held Jeonghan's hand tightly than what he did yesterday night. Jeonghan felt the warmness that Seungcheol's hand is bringing.

"Let's go for a walk." Seungcheol said, still not letting go of Jeonghan's hand.

*Now Playing : When I Grow Up by SEVENTEEN*

Both of them walked, enjoying the sceneries and the fresh breeze of the air. The breezes that both of them felt upon their cheeks. They're enjoying their great time together, both doesn't want to let go, without even knowing what was really up to in the future.

"You want some ice cream?" Jeonghan asked as he saw an ice cream vendor near them. Seungcheol doesn't want to. He doesn't eat street foods. He let go of Jeonghan's hand as a sign of declining.

"Come on, it's delicious!" Jeonghan said and grabbed his hand and dragged him to the ice cream vendor.

"What flavor do you like to have?" Jeonghan asked and scanned the flavors below. He asked for a strawberry while Seungcheol just asked for a chocolate flavored ice cream.

The ice cream vendor scooped it, and gave it to them. Jeonghan paid for it and he handed Seungcheol the chocolate flavored ice cream. "Try it," Jeonghan insisted and Seungcheol tried it. His eyes widened and he literally ate the ice cream.

"Told you, cheap yet, worth it." Jeonghan smiled brightly. Seungcheol couldn't help but to stare. That angelic smile, that's the first time he saw that smile, and that smile belongs to Jeonghan.

"Hey, stop staring. You're creeping me out." Jeonghan said. Seungcheol, on the other hand, got embarrassed and looked away.

*

Seungcheol's point of view

Everytime he smiles, I can't really help but to stare at him. It feels like I can stare at him all day. No matter what he does, there's something in him that keeps me attracted and interested. I feel like, there's really something that's pulling me to know every inch of him.

Do I like him? Of course not. I never liked guys. That is insane.

I stared at the chocolate ice cream he bought for me. This is really cheap, but the taste is high quality. I can really tell.

End of point of view

*

Seungcheol watched Jeonghan as he lick his ice cream. It looks very sexy, anyone can really tell. Seungcheol couldn't control himself and just intertwined his hands with Jeonghan. "Part of the rules," Seungcheol said and looked away.

They were walking all the way around the park when both of them spotted someone. Seungcheol held Jeonghan's hand tighter. They spotted Areum.

"Oh, you're here." she said. She scanned Jeonghan from head to toe. Jeonghan's wearing a simple wear.

"No, we're not here. We're there," Jeonghan sarcastically said as he notices Areum's stares. "Nice joke," Areum faked a laugh and smirked.

She's provoking Jeonghan. Jeonghan himself can tell. So he did something bad to her. He pulled Seungcheol closer, and literally locked their hands, "We'll get going now," Jeonghan smiled and walked away with Seungcheol.

He won't waste the fifty dollar payment, okay?

"I never thought you would do that," Seungcheol said amazed. Jeonghan became proud. It's all of the fifty dollar payment, nothing else. But, is he even sure?

"Come on, let's move outta here." Jeonghan said and dragged Seungcheol away.

-

Sunday has passed and now it's Monday. Jeonghan get himself ready for school. He put on some gloss that he usually do to keep his lips not to dry.

"Jeonghan hyung! Someone's waiting for you outside," Jun, his roommate, shouted from the living room.

Jeonghan's forehead creased and fixed his uniform neatly. He get his bag and went out from his room. "Who's here?" Jeonghan asked to Jun but he shrugged.

Jeonghan immediately headed to the door and opened it, revealing Seungcheol in a neat uniform. "What are you doing here?" Jeonghan asked and opened the door completely.

"Fetching you," Seungcheol simply answered and Jun took a peek on them. He tried to suppress his smile with the sight of the guy here.

"I can drive myself off to school, okay?" Jeonghan said and pushed Seungcheol slightly away from his way, but what Seungcheol usually do, he grabbed him by the arm and faced him towards him. "I'm picking you up here, can't you see?"

"I can see it. But I'm not a damn child," Jeonghan said and was about to walk away when Seungcheol tightened his grip on Jeonghan. "Okay, fine." Jeonghan agrees and Seungcheol guided him to his car.

Seungcheol hopped inside and drove away, meanwhile, Jun noticed something, "Something's going on. . ." and then he laughed at his own thought.

-

Seungcheol and Jeonghan arrived at the school campus' parking lot. "I'll go ahead. Thanks for the ride," Jeonghan said and immediately walked away before Seungcheol could even reply on his goodbyes.

Jeonghan walked through the hallways and he ran into Jisoo. Jisoo was quite confused because Jeonghan came from the opposite side when the front gate's on the other side, and the parking lot was on the other side, commonly for the rich ones.

"Hey, you're here already," Jisoo was the first one to approach and Jeonghan noticed him walking onto his direction. "Uh, yeah," Jeonghan awkwardly smiled and rubbed his nape.

"Did you. . . came from the parking lot?" Jisoo asked and pointed at the other side of the hallway. Jeonghan was out of words to save himself so he thinks about it deeply, "Uh it's just, there's not that much people at the parking lot so I thought about of using that path to get in here," Jeonghan lied. Jisoo nods his head multiple times and Jeonghan hoped that he believed his lies.

"Anyways, Seungkwan and Moonbin needs your help. The preparation for the Music Fest and of course, the newly announced earlier, the Camping Event, was also under preparation." Jisoo opened up a new topic and Jeonghan was quite surprised. Why did anyone didn't told him?

He didn't replied but he fastened his pace and Jisoo tried to catch up. Jeonghan quickly headed to the Student Council Office and found Seungkwan there.

"He heard about the Camping already," Jisoo said panting. Jeonghan sat in front of Seungkwan.

"Let's discuss about the camping later. Teachers will announce this one by room. Student Council has nothing to say about this, as we're also participants of this camping." Seungkwan explained and Jeonghan nods.

"When is this gonna happen though?" Jeonghan asked, so he can prepare early. It's his habit tho. Like, what if something came up? Everything will mess up. "Next week, friday. A week before the Music Fest." Seungkwan answered.

"Looks like there are a lot of events coming up this month before my term ends," Jeonghan said.
