Chapter 11: A rumor about Elaine as a Bastard's daughter

Luna look where the sounds came from, then they notice it came form Jae's phone. "Jae? Might want to answer that call?" she asked as she is looking to him. Jae expression were annoyed "Sorry, I'll silent my phone" he said and take his phone. "Jae? Isn't it emergency? That person is continuously calling you?" Ethan looks so concern. Jae sigh and grab his phone outside.

Ethan and Luna look to each other then look the door where Jae left open. "He looks not good? Did something happen before going to school?" Ethan asked since he knows that Jae is currently living at her house. Luna shake her head "Well He told us yesterday that he needs to go to his house, Aunty Kumiko needs to talk to her" Luna explain. " Ethan stand and follow where Jae went. The time he left the club he saw Dong-Yul so they just greet each other.

"Ethan I have something to tell you, You might forgot but you have another club too. Basketball club, I heard there will be a practice match tomorrow. They say it will be a big practice match since they also needs some Cheer dancer" Dong-Yul informed him. "Go join the match since your sister will cheer you there" He intentionally said that then pause for a moment like he remember something "Oh! Sorry She can't able to cheer you!. I forgot your sister can't dance because she is still recovering from her injury" He said with a fake concern. Ethan just stare coldly then turn his back for searching Jae.

"Wow so scary!, speaking of sister… is she really your sister? How come your whole family is blond but your little sister's hair is brunette? She also have green eye color.. But you and your family have blue eye" Dong-Yul is trying to make Ethan angry for some reason. Ethan just stop from walking. "Hey Ethan, Is she really your sister or is she's a bastard's daughter?" Dong-Yul trying to hold his laugh. Ethan look back at Dong-Yul but this time he is silently angry. "Hey, Ethan? Who is the one who have an affair? Is it your Father who is titled as the Hero of the masses?" He laugh "Or is it your beautiful Mother?, She is so beautiful that even if she have an affair she will be forgiven" Dong-Yul trying to provoke him.

The time Ethan heard Dong-Yul saying bad things to his Mother, he can't stop his temper and throw a punch to Dong-Yul's right cheek. Dong-Yul didn't expect that Ethan would do that and still in the state of shock. Then he suddenly look to Ethan walking towards him, he has the time to stand up and leave but he can't even move his whole body as if Ethan pinning him down through his glare.

"Say that again and I'll kill you" Ethan is ready to throw a punch again but suddenly Jae rush to middle Dong-Yul and Ethan. "Oi.. Jae, stay out of my way" Ethan coldly warned Jae, but this time Jae hugged Ethan to stop him. "I told you to go out of the way, I haven't forgive you about what happen to my sister" Ethan is speaking so calm, but that's makes it more scarier. Jae was fazed out as he look to Ethan's expression, Ethan is silently in rage as if you can see to any manhwa when some protagonist was in furious that you can only see their eyes from rage.

"B-brother?" Elaine is looking so worried but more frightened to see Ethan's expression.

Ethan stop and let Dong-Yul go. Elaine slowly walk towards his brother and tug his uniform. "W-What happen?" she also look to Jae but Jae still can't move due to the shock. Ethan didn't answer her and focus on trying to lower his anger, but he can't manage if Elaine is keep asking. Luna suddenly pop up some where and pat Ethan and Jae's head.

"Go to the club room, let's talk there" Luna said then look to Elaine cheerfully. "Elaine, I need to talk and scold with your brother and Jae so please tell the other members that don't come to the club room until lunch break" Luna cheerfully smiles to reassure Elaine. Elaine nodded.

Luna quietly close the door and glance to Ethan. His expression is still angry but not in rage now, while Jae is really afraid to Ethan since this is the first time Ethan acted like that. Luna try to approach Jae first. she caresses Jae's back gently until his shoulders looks relax. "did you get scared by Ethan?" Luna asked him then Jae nod.

"Try to think the scariest thing happen to you, then compare it to what you are afraid to Ethan" Luna said. Jae suddenly reminds him the time when he went missing at the forest, Jae thought he saw a angry bear at the distance but when it went near to him it was Luna angerly holding her slipper to slap him. Jae shivers as he remember that time.

"Great then, go outside. I need to talk to Ethan" Luna tap Jae's back and wait him to leave.

Luna walk to Ethan and place her hand to his shoulder, Ethan not being aware, he casually shove Luna's hand but was shock to what he did. "sorry, it was my reflexes-" Ethan was cut to what he was saying when Luna hug him. Ethan and Luna remain to their position for a long time.

"Dong-Yul that guy, he keeps saying bad things to my family" Ethan start to talk while Luna did is only listening to him.

"He said Elaine is a bastard's daughter" Ethan hug Luna tightly.

"He don't even know the story of my family! " Ethan complains. Luna nod and gently caresses Ethan's hair while she still listening.

"He even say's bad and gross thing to my Mother" he said.

"...Luna, I just want you to know my side. Dong-Yul that guy is a red flag" Ethan raise his head to look at Luna. Then he was surprised as Luna's expression was so sad as she look to Ethan.

Ethan and Luna look to each other with sad and coping expression. Ethan suddenly tug down Luna's uniform, making Luna went down and sits on Ethan's lap facing him. Ethan wrap around his arms at Luna's waist. Luna rest her head to Ethan's chest, she feel relaxed and sleepy as she heard Ethan's heart beat.

Ethan suddenly think in this timing, in this position, he think.. maybe it will be fine if he confess to Luna on what he really feel about her. Ethan glance down watching Luna enjoys hearing his embarrassing heart beat. As the time goes by Ethan hates himself for not being able to say his feelings for her for over 5 years.

Maybe because I am a coward? He says to himself.

No, I am just scared what if the answer is no. Because I know when the time that I confesses my feelings there's no going back.. if the time I say it to you, I can't just be a friend anymore even you say no. I can't turn to be your friend again, that would be awkward and selfish don't you think? Ethan said to his mind then hug Luna tightly because he knows this time with her, will never happen again.

On Dong-Yul's scenario. He went to the comfort room at the Student council's office. He look to his swollen right cheek and get mad as he remember the time he got punched. "That Golden boy! he thinks I am scared of him just because he punch me, I guess it's time for punishment" Dong-Yul said restraining his anger. He come out the comfort room and saw Sasha was waiting for him while sitting on the sofa.

"Oh what do we have here? the President of the useless Journalist club!" He roughly mock Sasha and sits on his chair. Sasha stand up and looks so angry "You! you're the reason why my members got beaten! You said publishing those news make our group be more noticeable rather than the Literature club?!" Sasha shouted.

Dong-Yul laugh "Well aren't you a celebrity now? well in bad way with member less club" He chuckles. Sasha is so mad that she throw a tea cup to Dong-Yul's direction but the guy can easily dodge it. "what I don't like about all women is that they are noisy and crazy" He said and look at Sasha in a threatening glare. "It's not my problem what happen to you and your club members. I just simply give you some gathered data and in the end you're the one who write and published it" Don-Yul said making Sasha break down in to tears.

Then suddenly the student council's door opens. Sasha look at the tall and Red haired guy walking towards them, The guy glance at Sasha "I never thought one of your hobby is to make some girls cry?" The red guy gave his handkerchief to Sasha, Sasha in her part take it but was now embarrassed that a stranger saw her cry so she leave the office in rush with the handkerchief.

Dong-Yul look so annoyed Looking at the red hair guy "What are you doing here? I thought your going to school next week... not today? Red Fujiwara.."
