Seoul International School's. Monday Morning.
The sound of applause filled the sports hall as well as the hall of Seoul International School. Nara, Juno, as well as the two other participants of the program smiled at their audience, the students of the 7th to 9th level in the school. They have completed their social education presentation titled 'Break the Barrier, Stop Bullying', to show the students the types of bullying, its effects, and how to prevent bullying in schools.
Nara and Juno returned to the team for this presentation, along with 2 others, Wang from China and Anne from England. Their team is focused on education for High School students, while the other team, which also contains 4 people, is focused on the SMP level.
After greeting and completely closing their presentation, all the students moved one by one to leave the gym, and would later be replaced by lower-level students. The presenter will change into another team. While switching, they had 10 minutes to rest until the disciples from level 7 to 9 came and filled the audience seats.
Nara moved away from the middle of the room, allowing the next team to prepare their presentation. He took his place in the front row of the audience and sat there playing his phone. Regardless of the incoming messages that have not been answered, his fingers moved directly to open the mailbox on his social media, but no new messages came in. His eyes looked at the only account in the inbox, @woojiho0914. The last conversation only contained Nara replying to good night and Ji-Ho's deep sleep.
Nara sighed reading the message. His brain moved back into memory last night as he was talking to Jiho through those messages. It was frustrating to remember him. He remembered Jiho's incoming message asking him to meet again, asking him out for a date. Nara doesn't know if Jiho is serious or just joking, but she refuses. He thought of various reasons and ended up telling Jiho that he would be doing group activities and very much program preparation that he had to do in this week. Not entirely a lie, but in fact he will not be as busy as it is to be unable to meet.
A sense of frutation returned to Nara's inner self. He ruffled his wavy hair, feeling annoyed with himself. The white floor that did not know the problem under his feet was also the victim of his leg. Why now he feels so stupid, even though in his dreams all this time he never found Ji-Ho asking him out.
He cursed himself, regretting his thoughts that had taken over his heart. Last night he felt very shocked, and actually felt strange about Ji-Ho's sudden invitation, which is why he rejected it without thinking twice. His heart is heavy, his mind is confused, why would a famous artist like Ji-Ho suddenly invite him to meet? Even dating? Why so suddenly like this? They just got acquainted. He is nothing compared to Ji-Ho. He was like a little ant among a haystack. There is no wind, no rain, no strong storms, let alone a fire country invading, then why did Ji-Ho offer her a date? Is Ji-Ho just a small talk? Is Ji-Ho drunk again? Does Ji-Ho just want to play him? Did Ji-Ho send the wrong message? Does Ji-Ho want to make it a tool to create scandals? His mind last night said he didn't want to be let down. That was why his mind covered his heart and he immediately refused.
But now his mind became unstable. His heart was suddenly in control. He was eager to accept the offer last night. Who cares if he is disappointed? What is clear is that he can enjoy dating his idol, an idol he has loved for a long time. Who cares if Ji-Ho is joking? What did he expect? Now Nara thinks it's okay if Ji-Ho lets her down or just jokes, which is important an ordinary person can seem to feel like dating Ji-Ho once in his lifetime.
But unfortunately, after he turned down Ji-Ho's offer last night, there's nothing in return from Ji-Ho. Their conversation stalls on Nara who rejects Ji-Ho's invitation. 80% of her feelings hope Ji-Ho will contact her again. 20% of her again feel she is too dreamy, ngeyel, especially after rejection.
Again the floor under his feet became a victim of violence at the thought of it all. But he did not feel better after channeling his frustration onto the floor.
"What are you doing?" tanya Juno who suddenly appeared with her eyebrows linked was astonished to see Nara's behavior stomping her feet.
"It's nothing" Nara replied while chortling, trying to suppress the embarrassment of her strange behavior being seen by others. Returning to try to hide the shame, Nara tidied her hair which she believed must be messy, then put it behind her ears.
"You okay? Or did something happen?" juno asked again as he landed his body beside Nara. Both hands held two boxes of banana flavored milk. He placed a box beside him, while another box he gave to Nara after sticking his straw.
Nara was only silent for a moment, straightened her legs, then played her palm to the left and to the right while sipping Juno's banana-flavored milk. His eyes glare. After a while involuntarily the words came out just like that from Nara's mouth. "I turned down a good offer last night. But after I think about it now, I feel so stupid. So I'm sitting here feeling frustrated, "I Nara then sip the banana milk again until it's noiseless. Even the banana-flavored milk that he really likes cannot make his mood better.
"What offer? Someone asked you out?" guess Juno's original but on target. The milk box Nara held until it fell down in shock at Juno's exact guess. Thankfully, the box was empty.
Nara lowered her head to retrieve the empty box at once to hide her surprise. Surely Juno will be excited if you know the guess is right. That someone asked Nara out. "No, not that," Nara replied slightly stammered.
"So? Why did you refuse her date?" this time Juno asked quickly to test Nara.
And the experiment worked. Nara was consumed by the quick question and subconsciously immediately answered quickly. "Because I don't know what to do. I did like him, but it felt strange and too unlikely, and at first I thought he might just be playing around or have some hidden intent. And I don't want to be let down" Nara replied quickly without pause. Maybe he himself also could not bear the frustration, because that's why he came out by himself.
But soon Nara realized that her words had gone too far. His right hand was raised blocking his mouth to say more. While his face had started to red and warm when he saw Juno began to pout lips. There are only 2 possibilities, Juno will continue to bother him about the date, or Juno will continue to ask who the person who asked her out of curiosity is.
******* Juno's lips became a small laugh after witnessing Nara's blushing face color. This girl was easily caught, he thought. "So who's that guy? Let's try to tell oppa, "tease Juno with her hands behind her ears, waiting for Nara's answer. But Nara just shook her head.
"Hmm.you're only 3 days here, so your chance to meet men is definitely not much. So maybe someone from the committee or participants of this program. Let me guess..." Juno stroked his chin with narrowed eyes and furrowed eyebrows, putting on a thinking style.
"He's not the guy you know,"
"really?"
"I met him by accident,"
"Where?"
"Argh! Stop, stop!" Nara punched Juno's shoulder in annoyance. Otherwise he would have already exposed all of his secrets to Juno. Somehow he couldn't help himself to keep answering Juno's questions. Maybe Juno does have a magical power that can make people take out their hearts. Meanwhile, a grin began to adorn Juno's face. He is sure, asked a little more Nara's secret will certainly be revealed.
Seeing Juno's such expression, Nara snorted in annoyance. He himself does not feel confident will not be inedible questions Juno again. "Don't talk about anything! I don't want to talk about it anymore!" nara's orders. His index finger pointed at Juno's face with a fierce expression he made to commemorate Juno.
"Message from the man?" Nara reflexively screamed in shock at Juno's reprimand and Juno's sudden figure was already standing before her without her noticing. Juno poked her head out to peek at Nara's phone, but Nara swung her phone behind her, hiding it from Juno's eyes.
"No. Please just interfere in your own business, sir," Nara pushed Juno's shoulder, trying to get her away. But his strength was not enough and Juno's strength to defend himself was greater. So, Juno only pretended to be thrown by stepping one foot back, then returning to his original position.
"really? By the way, I told you not yet that I envy you so much? It's only been 3 days here and you've got fans? Whoa!" sindir Juno clapped her hands just to tease Nara.
In a fit of annoyance, Nara clenched her hands in front of Juno's face "You're asking to be hit huh?"
"Yes.iya.iya.I'm just kidding," Juno held up while pushing Nara's fist down. "But I'm really curious. Tell me dad? Well? Well? Yeah?" this time Juno issued a new style to uncover Nara's gossip. He uses a nasal voice - a nasal voice - to speak, trying to mimic the cute voice that Korean artists usually do.
Nara almost fainted hearing that. Maybe if done by Korean artists does sound cute, but when Juno does it, all that is heard in Nara's ears is a strange sound and seems disgusting. Nara shook her head in horror as she stroked her shoulders, feeling goosebumps watching that.
But Juno did not stop. He continued to mount his aegyo attack in front of Nara. "Ayolah~ Who? Wh who? Wh who? Please oppa wants to know. Well? Well? Yeah?"
Nara screamed stifled as she grew disgusted. It was like he was clogging Juno's throat right now so as not to make a sound. Seeing Nara's reaction, Juno even added her nurse. He shook his shoulders with his hands clinging to each other in front of his chest. His lips he wrinkled and his eyes flickered spoiled. "yeah? Well? Yeah?" You don't know shame.
Nara sighed softly with her eyes closed, not wanting to poison her vision with Juno's far-off behavior. Right what he had guessed before, only two possibilities, Juno would continue to disturb him, or Juno would continue to question him.
Not seeing any sign of Juno giving up, Nara relented. "You won't believe it" said Nara. For the last time trying to make Juno undo his intention to know.
But Juno remained on his stance. He swung his palm towards himself. "Spit it," he challenged.
"He's the leader of 7Seasons, Woo Ji-Ho" Nara replied finally with a serious face.
"Woo Ji-Ho's? 7seasons leader?"
Nara nodded.
"7Seasons that hip-hop boyband?"
Nara nodded back.
"Woo Ji-Ho's leader? Which rapper? Which song did you sing at the welcoming ceremony yesterday?"
Again Nara nodded.
"What has been releasing solo albums so often? Which every solo album he comes out is always all-kill? Who is the producer and composer as well? Who is already very rich because of his many songs and royalties high? Who has often been invited to prestigious fashion shows? Who if you want to be equal to G-Dragon Big Bang?"
"Yes! Aye! Aye!" nara replied annoyed at Juno's many questions and she tired of nodding.
Juno was silent for a few seconds, trying to absorb what he had just heard. "Yes!!!" her scream suddenly made Nara shut her ears.
"You think I'm stupid?! Ji-ho?!! Woahhh, that's too much for a lie! You just don't want to tell me, do you? Aren't you? Woahhh, I didn't think you were lying to me senselessly. Whoa!" Juno moved left-right back and forth around in circles with alternating hands scratching her head, pointing at Nara then hands at her waist, trying to express her disbelief.
Nara just put on a flat face, unable to say anything more. It's hard to believe, isn't it? That's why he doesn't want to tell anyone, because it actually sounds a lie. And he had expected Juno to react like that.
Without taking care of Juno anymore, Nara turned her body to leave Juno with her own thoughts. It's up to him.
"Yes! Nara! You should tell me. You don't leave before you tell the truth! Nara! Yep!!" Juno shouted furiously when she realized that Nara had already walked away.
