Chapter 16

~Narrator's POV~

"Heh heh, it's you who brought me home?" asked Y/N, nervously. "Yes. Everyone was drunk so Seonghwa hyung's mom asked me to take you home.." Juyeon said, opening the door for Y/N. "Aunt Jung asked me to buy to treat you later afterschool. I better ask Sunwoo to wait.." Y/N said, getting in. Juyeon too, got in to the driver's seat and started the engine, smiling. "So, where'd you wanna treat me?" he smirked. 'I just hate it when he smirks!' thought Y/N. "Somewhere close to the library.." Y/N stroked her nape. "So that you can run to Kim when you're done?" he sounded a little disappointed. Honestly, to Juyeon, the moment he started talking to Y/N, he knew that he needed her in his life...

He didn't even want to admit it, but it was true. He knew what he needed most in his life, he first started off with ill intentions, but now, he felt that he needed to care for Y/N. She was the kind of girl who didn't even care who he was, didn't care about his wealth, but would love him forever. Now, all he had were good intentions... He had no idea that a mere pretty girl could change his never-changing personality. He wanted to keep his image cool and ignorant, but he had started to develop a soft spot for Y/N... He smiled at the thought as it made Y/N amazed that this jerk had a smile that can light up the world.

"No.. there's nothing like that.. I don't want to be late.. That's just it Juyeon" she scowled. "Okay okay.. I believe you" Juyeon chuckled. He didn't have feelings for her, not yet, he just felt that she needed her, he felt that she was broken on the inside but shows off a cheerful self. Juyeon had the urge to help her remove that mask of hers, but it wasn't a bad mask, like of a criminal, it was of a broken girl who loved to cheer others up. He felt like she had a dark secret, a secret only her family knows. And yes, Juyeon too, had a secret, not a dark one, but an embarrassing one, a secret that he had no intention in sharing. He loved something, something that the captain of their school football team or the school's model student shouldn't like. He had been bullied in his past school, and that had been the reason for him to leave America. He loved it, but he was embarrassed to share it, he even hated it for making him being bullied and making him an outcast. He hadn't looked so good when he was at his past school, he had wealth, but no friends. He looked good enough, even his crush had asked him out, but she got to know that Juyeon loved a certain thing, something that made him look feminine when performing. Unlike in Korea, Americans hated men who did what Juyeon did.

He loved doing it with the bottom of his heart, he even went for classes, and his teacher told him that he was so good at it. He had recently gone for his class and his teacher had pointed out the fact that he was better at it than the days where he was at Chicago High School (A/N : I have no idea if such a thing exists) . He wanted to show his friends, Younghoon, the girls and yes even Y/N, that he was a talented man, but he had no courage to. He would be bullied just like before when he tells them. He would be an outcast. Well, Juyeon thought that there was nothing wrong it doing what he loves, in following his passion, but what he did, was usually done by the girls in his school. He was been given most of the best positions in his school, for his looks and talent of course.

Juyeon had been thinking for a long time that they had even arrived at his school in Korea. "Juyeon? We're here.." Y/N waved her hand in front of Juyeon face, bringing him back to reality. "Oh, yeah.. Y/N, can you get down? I'll park my car and meet you--" he was cut off. "Thanks alot Juyeon. I owe you a treat. I'll text you later. Sunwoo's waiting there!" Y/N smiled and quickly got off and ran towards to where Sunwoo was waving at her. Juyeon had no idea why, but he felt his blood boiling in his veins...

~~~~~~~~~

"Hi Sunwoo! Good morning!" said Y/N. "Hey Y/N! Why weren't you at the bus?" asked Sunwoo. "Juyeon gave me a ride.." Y/N rubbed her nape. "Juyeon did? WHY?" Sunwoo raised his voice a little. "I went to a party at Seonghwa oppa's house yesterday with Wooyoung and I got drunk. So, Seonghwa oppa's mom had asked him to drop me at my place and then, he had promised my mom to take me to school since Wooyoung is still with San. And then, my mom asked me to buy something for him afterschool, so I'll be late for your tutoring afterschool.." said Y/N, looking at her feet. "Um.. okay... I can wait for a while..." Sunwoo sounded a bit disappointed but he held Y/N's hand, smiled at her and walked with her to their class. 'I think I'm about to die!' thought Y/N as she felt her face heat up.

"Good Morning Y/N and Sunwoo!" said Yunho as soon as the two of them entered their class, hand in hand. "Oooo... I see a new couple in our class..." Yunho wiggled his eyebrows. "What?!" I asked in shock as the two of us quickly let go of each other. "We aren't a couple..." Sunwoo flushed in a light shade of pink. 'We could be...' he thought silently. The two walked over to their seats and sat next to each other, until the lunch break arrived. All of the children herded out of Class-3 in to the cafeteria. Y/N, Sunwoo and Eric met Jiyeon and Lisa at their usual table. "Hi Y/N! I see you've gotten closer with Juyeon... He even took you home huh?" Lisa smirked. "How do you know that?!" Y/N was astonished. "Juyeon can't keep his mouth shut. When he says something, it spreads like wildfire.." Jiyeon chuckled at how her lover had exposed her best friend.

"Y/N, I've got news.. I moved on from Yunho since he has a boyfriend. WHICH I found out recently.." Lisa raised her voice at the word 'which'. "Oh, Mingi you mean.." Y/N chuckled at the memory where Yunho cuddled with his lover. "You knew?!" Lisa gasped. "Yeah..." Y/N said, awkwardly. "Who's your new boyfriend?" asked Y/N, leaning towards Lisa. "He works with my brother..." Lisa hunched her shoulders, shyly. "Name?" asked Eric, joining in on the conversation. "Kim Taehyung.. He's the official model for Gucci like my brother who's for Prada.." Lisa was shyer than what Y/N expected. "Kim Taehyung? The Bighit trainee?" asked Juyeon who was now sitting next to Y/N with Younghoon by his side. "Yes.." said Lisa, rolling her eyes. "He works with six other guys. Two who goes to our school... Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook..." Juyeon said as he counted with his fingers. "How'd you know that?" asked Y/N. "The CEO is my uncle.." Juyeon shrugged. "Juyeon, what are your parents?" asked Sunwoo, frowning.

"They are the CEOs of their own company, Jaeyeon Corporation..." Juyeon said, as if it was no big deal. "Jaeyeon Corporation is owned by your parents?!" asked Eric. "Well, my mother and my step father, yes... It was my mothers' and my dad was a pilot, but my dad passed away so my mom had to extend her ownership to her second husband..." Juyeon said, facing Y/N as if she was the only one whom he wanted to talk to about his family, and yes that was true. "And the name changed from Lee Corporation to Jaeyeon Corporation, Jae from Jaemin, my step brother, and Yeon from my name..." Juyeon continued. "So, Jaemin was already there when you parents got married?" asked Lisa, sipping her milk. "Yes..." said Juyeon. "We love each other a lot, but he gets annoying sometimes... People think him and Jeno are just friends, but Jaemin is madly in love with that innocent kid. 'Juyeon came from a family of rich businessmen and that explains why he was so rich' thought Y/N.

Time Skip:

Time flew by soon and it was now time for Y/N to text Juyeon a location for them to meet. "I suddenly crave for some pizza" Y/N said to herself as she opened her phone to text Juyeon, on her way out of school.

Juyeon:

Hey🙌

Y/N:

Hi Juyeon! I suddenly started craving for some pizza. How about we meet at the pizza shop? The one near the library..

Juyeon:

Sure! 😄Which time?

Y/N:

In an hour? I'll go home and get changed and come back

Juyeon:

Okay.. Meet you then... You even had to treat your enemy then...😉

Y/N:

Oh shut up!

Juyeon:

LOL 😆

Y/N:

🙄

Y/N took the bus to her house and got changed in to a simple sweater and jeans and went to the pizza shop in a taxi. Y/N felt a shiver down her spine as the taxi drove past the library. Sunwoo? Yes, Sunwoo was standing there waiting for Y/N to come after her meeting with Juyeon, complaining and blaming Juyeon. Y/N finally arrived at the pizza shop. She found Juyeon sitting at a corner table waving for her to come as he patted the seat next to him. 'Come to think of it, he isn't much of a jerk the more I get to know him..' Y/N smiled at him and sat across Juyeon, afraid that Sunwoo might pass by and see her sitting right next to Juyeon, shoulders touching. "What do want?" asked Y/N, checking the menu. "I'll have anything you have.." Juyeon smiled. Juyeon wasn't the type of person to smile, but does when he's with someone so relatable.

The both of them ordered what they wanted and their food was delivered by a good looking waiter whose name tag read ; Mark Lee (So I had to make my bias a waiter! LOL 😆). "Thank you" Juyeon said in a soft voice. "You're welcome. Ring this bell if you need anything else" smiled the waiter, Mark, as he gestured towards a little red button close to Y/N. "Yes we will.." Y/N smiled as Mark nodded and left them. "Thank you Juyeon. For bringing me home.." Y/N was already unwrapping her burger. "It's no big deal.." Juyeon too shrugged as he was nibbling on his bread. "So.. how about we get to know each other more?" asked Juyeon, keen to know more about Y/N. "Sure!" Y/N beamed at him. "So, my full name is Lee Juyeon and I have a step brother, named, Na Jaemin" said Juyeon. "That's basic.. Anyways, I'm Y/N L/N, and I have a cousin brother. He's Jung Wooyoung. I was taken to Japan to live with my grandmother after my parents died, but even after my grandmother died, my father's sister, my aunt had adopted me or something so I live with Aunt Jung now... That's how you get to know each other" Y/N smiled. "Well, I used to live in America before I had to move to Korea for personal reasons.." Juyeon said.

"Oh.. May I ask why?" Y/N seemed curious. I mean, who wouldn't? . "Well, I-I'm not supposed to say that.. You'd make fun of me.." Juyeon looked down. "No.. I won't. I promise. You can trust me" Y/N said with a comforting smile. "Well, I didn't look so good... And... I was best friends with the hottest boy in my school. I lost him, he didn't die or anything like that. He left me. He found that I did something I'm supposed to.." Juyeon said. "And what can that be?" Y/N asked, curious as usual. Juyeon never told this to anyone, but his guts told him that he can trust her. "Contemporary dancing.. Back at my school in Chicago, boys usually did rugby, tae kwon do, basketball, football and manly things. I usually would dance somewhere during my PE class. The boys in my school bullied me, they made me an outcast. So, I begged my late father to let me got to Korea. I came here to Korea and started working out, and only did manly sports, like I do now. I became famous all around this school as the model student and as the man of every girls dreams.." Juyeon ended with a sigh. "I told you everything! Oh my god! I am so embarrassed!" he covered his blushing face with his palms.

"Can you show me some of old pictures?" asked Y/N. "Yes" Juyeon took out his phone.

"Here I was. Ugly!" Juyeon made a disgusting face.

"Here's my hot bestfriend, Johnny! And his boyfriend Ten.."

"And here I am now.. Looking goood huh?" said Juyeon with his signature smirk. "Well, if I tell you the truth. I don't see any difference.." said Y/N, who had finished her food and was waiting for Juyeon to. "What?!" Juyeon was dumbfounded. "Yeah. I don't care what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside that matters.. For example ; You act like a jerk on the outside, but see, inside you're a kind hearted boy.." she shrugged. But Juyeon just huffed grumpily. "If you have watched True Beauty, you'd know. Lee So Ho liked the bare faced Lim Jukyung, not the one with makeup on. He liked who she was on the inside and so do I. I like the kind hearted Juyeon and not the ignorant jerk... " Y/N smiled at Juyeon. And for some reasone, her smile lit up Juyeon's world and made his heart flutter as hell.

"Thank you Y/N. I guess so then.. You didn't tell me about your past though.." Juyeon kept staring in to her eyes. "I guess my darker past would have to wait.. All I can say is that, my parents died because of me.." her eyes filled with tears. "It can wait.. Now come on, I'll drop you off at the library" Juyeon smiled as he offered Y/N his hand, which, she took shyly, as she brushed a dark lock of hair behind her ear and walked towards the exit....

Hi guys! What do you think about Juyeon's passionate secret? Do you think he's follow his passion? Anywayyys, Have a good day!!

Er.. were things going too fast with Y/N and Juyeon? Idk.. I just wanted to speed things up since there's a lot more to be written. And they're gonna be spicy... 😉😏
