CHAPTER 11
After class, all your classmates already went home as both you and L.joe stayed at the classroom waiting for your detention.
“Ms. Jung and Mr. Lee, follow me.” your teacher said as you two did.
---
“So.. Your detention is to clean all the pool area. Go get started now. I need to see a different when I coke back araseo?” your teacher said as all of you arrived at the pool area.
You and L.joe automatically nodded, “DAE!!” both of you answered.
“I’m going now..” with that, your teacher left.
The atmosphere bacome silent. You then cleared your throat and look at L.joe, “You can go now. I know you are a busy person.” you said.
L.joe look at you, “How about you? And what if our teacher ask you about me?” he asked.
“Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to her so now, you just go home.” you said. L.joe shook his, “No. I don’t want.”
“But—” you was about to protest but L.jie cut you off, “I said no. I want to help you.” with that, L.joe grabbed the net and started to clean the pool.
You didn’t say a word anymore and just grabbed the other net and help him to clean the pool.
“Um.. Can I ask you something?” you suddenly asked. “What is it?” he replied without looking at you.
“Are you the one who texted me last night?” you asked. L.joe paused for a while but finally answered, “Yes..” he almost whispered.
“Then why didn’t you say who you are in the text message?” you asked as you continued cleaning the pool. “I just want you to guess first.” he replied.
You nodded in understanding.
“Why didn’t you reply anyways?” he asked. You suddenly stopped on what you were doing then look at him, “Because I’m not replying to someone that I didn’t even know.” you replied.
“But you already know me right?” he raised an eyrbrow. “Yes if you type your name in the text message.” you rolled your eyes and continued cleaning.
L.joe pouted and also continued cleaning.
As both you and L.joe finished the pool, both of you sat to take a rest for a while.
“Are we already done?” he suddenly asked. You shook your head, “We still need to map the floor.” you replied.
He nodded in understanding.
“But if you’re already tired, I can do it by myself.” you added. L.joe look at you, “No. It’s our punishment so we need to do it together.” he snapped.
“Okay, as you said.” you stood up and started mapping the floor. L.joe also stood up to help you when you accidentally lost your balance.
Luckily, L.joe caught you at the right time as both of you fall on the floor. You were lying on the floor as L.joe on the top of you.
Both of you just stared at each other, bot saying a word. Your heart started to beat so fast and so L.joe did.
Suddenly, L.joe’s eye glasses fall on the floor so you can see the dark circles on his face so close. You couldn’t but burst into laughter.
L.joe quickly get off from you as he grabbed his eye glasses and put it back to his eyes. He look away, embarassed.
You slowly stood up, still laughing. “Yah! Could you please stop?!” L.joe said.
You stopped laughing but a smile didn’t appeared on your face. L.joe pouted, “It’s all you fault.” he said.
You look at him, puzzled. “Why me?” “Because you didn’t reply to me last night.” he said.
“At what hour did you wait for my reply by the way?” you asked. “2am..” he whispered.
Your eyes widen, “What?! 2am?” you gasped. “Uh.. Yeah. And if you want to laugh at me, go ahead.” he grabbed the map and started to clean the floor.
You also grabbed the other map and help him to clean to floor, “Mianhe..” you feel sorry about him.
L.joe stopped and look at you, “Eh?” You also stopped and look back at him, “I’m sorry if I keep you waiting. I promise to replied to you this time.” you said.
A smiled went up to his face, “You better!” he said. “So.. Did you already forgive me?” you asked.
“No!” L.jo continued to map the floor. You pouted and just continued mapping also.
L.joe take a glance at you once again and secretly smiled while mapping the floor.
---
“Okay. Since the pool area is already clean, you two can go now..” your teacher said as she went back to the pool area.
Both you and L.joe bowed, “Kamsahamnida Seonsaengnim..”
Your teacher then left.
“I’m going now. Annyeong!” you waved at him and started to walk away. But then, you heard foot steps from behind.
You spun around and saw L.joe. “Why are you following me?” you asked. “Let me walk you home.” he replied.
You shook your head, “No need to do that. I can take care of myself.” you snapped. “If you want me to forgive you then let me walk you home.” he said as he walk passed by you.
You just pouted and followed him.
---
“We’re here~” you said as both of you reach your house. “Uh-oh..” L.joe nodded in understanding.
You lightly bowed, “Thank you for walking me home.” you said. “No problem.” he replied.
“You go now. It’s getting late now.” you said. “Go in first before I leave.” he conditioned.
“But—” “Just do what I said if you want me to forgive you.” L.joe snapped.
You pouted, “Araseo. Go home safe. Annyeong!” you waved then went inside the house.
L.joe let out a sigh as he put both of his hands on his pocket and smiled. *Better text her when I reach home since she said that she’s going to reply now.* with that, L.joe completely left.
CHAPTER 12
As you enter the house, you bowed and greeted your mom and went straightly to your room to change your clothes.
After changing, you went out to have dinner with your mother since your father is already dead ever since you were child.
---
As L.joe got home, he went straight to his room with a smile on his face.
His co-members raised an eyebrow and grew interested behind his smile.
They all followed him to his room. Chunji was the one who open the door without knocking.
L.joe is currently cahnging at that time. “Yah! Don’t you know how to knock?!” L.joe yelled while covering his body by his school uniform.
“Sorry but I didn’t know.” Chunji smirked as he enter the room. The others followed him.
L.joe spun around so they are now facing his back. He then quickly put his shirt on.
They all rolled their eyes on him.
As L.joe finished changing, he spun around to faced again his co-members. “What are you guys doing here at my room?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Wae? Can’t we huh?!” CAP said. L.joe rolled his eyes, “Just tell me what you guys need okay..”
“Hyung, we just saw you smiling when you got home..” Ricky said. “Yeah. And we’re just wondering why..” Niel added.
All his co-members suspiciously look at him.
“What’s wrong with my smile?” with that, L.joe left the room as they followed.
“I think his smile is beacause of a girl! Am I right hyung?” Changjo blurted.
“Let’s just eat okay..” L.joe said as he went to the dining area. The others just followed.
---
Both you and L.joe eat dinner at the same time but in different house.
---
“I’m full.” you said as you finished your dinner. Your mom nodded, “Good night baby..”
You smiled and kissed her cheek, “Good night omma..” you whispered. With that, you went to the washroom to tooth brush your teeth.
After you tooth brush, you wash your face and changed to your sleeping dress. As you finished, you went to your bed and laid on it.
You were about to close your eyes when you received a text message from the unknown number.
to: Yoonhye
Hello! L.joe is here. Are you going to sleep now? Or you’re already sleeping?
from: unknown number
A smile suddenly formed on your face. *He did put his name now..* you thought.
You edit the number and saved it as L.joe’s number.
You then texted back,
to: L.joe
I’m still awake, why?
from: Yoonhye
L.joe was waiting for your reply when a text message suddenly came. He quickly grabbed his phone and saw your name on the screen as the sender.
A wide smile went up to his face. He positioned himself to sat to make a perfect position to text you back.
He started to text you, a smile still on his face. His co-members shook their head on him.
to: Yoonhye
Um.. I just want to ask about our project together.
from: L.joe
That was his reply but it’s not the real reason why he texted you.
Suddenly, you texted back.
to: L.joe
I didn’t make a plan about it yet. Let’s just talk about it tomorrow at school. I’m sleepy now.
from: Yoonhye
As L.joe read your reply, he feel disappointed as he pouted but still text you back.
to: Yoonhye

from: L.joe
You couldn’t but smiled on his replied. After you read it, you placed it to your drawer and go to sleep.
L.joe on the other hand, didn’t wait for your reply that he could feel that you already fall asleep.
L.joe went to his room and laid on his bed, *I hope I’ll meet you in my dreams..* with that, L.joe fall asleep with a smile on his face.
CHAPTER 13
Next morning, you woke up early to prepared for school. After that, you waved and goodbye to your mom then went out.
Before you could enter the school, someone called you. “Yoonhye-ah!”
You spun around and to your shock it was L.joe who’s calling your name. He was running towards you.
“Wae?” you asked raising an eyebrow. “I just want to walk with you to the classroom.” he said. You nodded in understanding.
“So.. She’s the one huh?!” CAP suddenly appeared from nowhere together with the other members.
L.joe gave him a look as you look at them puzzled.
Then you saw Ricky staring at you. You started to feel uncomfortable so you just give him a small smile.
“Woah~ noona is so pretty. What’s your name noona?” Ricky asked as he went to your side.
You turned pink by his praise. “Jung Yoonhye, my name is Jung Yoonhye.” you replied.
“Woah~ you also have a beautiful name. Can I call you Yoonhye noona?” he asked. You laugh a little and nodded, “I would love to.”
“Even your laugh is beautiful..” a sudden voice said coming from your other side. You turned to it and saw Niel smiling.
You just smiled back. “Can I call you noona too?” you heard Changjo said next to Niel. You awkwardly smiled and nodded.
Chunji then walk towards you. He reach your hand and gently kissed back of your hand that made you stepped back. “Can I call you babe then?” he gave you his killer smile.
Your face started to heat up because of what he did. *Omo! What is he doing?*
Suddenly, L.joe grabbed your wrist and dargged you to his side. “Stop bothering her! Come on Yoonhye-ah, let’s go to our classroom.” with that he dragged you inside the school.
Chunji smirked, “Jealous eh?” the others laugh and shook their heads because of L.joe’s action.
---
L.joe is still holding your wrist as both of you entered the school. All the students were staring at you. Sohyun was still there and then you noticed that L.joe is holding your wrist.
You quickly removed your wrist from him and run to Sohyun. “Sohyun-ah!” you called with a smile.
Sohyun just give you a small smile.
L.joe’s eyes followed your direction and saw you talking to your bestfriend so he also walks to your direction.
---
“Good morning~” you greeted your bestfriend. Sohyun just remained silent. You lightly squeezed her hand, “Wae? Something wrong?” you asked.
She look up to you and stared to your eyes, “Why are you witg L.joe?” she asked.
“Uh-oh.. We just met at the gate that’s why we’re together.” you explained. “Then why is he holding your wrist?” she asked once more.
“Uh.. That.. You know his co-members right?” you asked as she nodded.
You then tell her what happened as Sohyun nodded but now with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, L.joe appeared behind you. Sohyun just stared at him with a spark on her eyes. You raised an eyebrow at her, “Wae? You saw a ghost?” you asked.
Sohyun shook her head then whispered, “L.joe..” You spun only to see L.joe standing there smiling.
“What are you doing here?” you asked. Sohyun elbowed you, “Yah! Don’t ask him like that!”
Sohyun loo back at L.joe and smiled, “Annyeong! Sohyun-imnida, Yoonhye’s bestfriend.” she greeted.
“So.. If I’m not mistaken.. You’re the owner of L.joe’s stuffs eh?” he asked. You could see Sohyun’s face became pink, “Yeah..” she nodded.
“I’m actually your fan. Fan of Teen Top especially you..” Sohyun confessed. You just smiled by her action.
“Really? Wow~ I’m very fluttered.” L.joe admitted as he smiled. Sohyun smiled back, super happy inside.
Suddenly, the bell rang. “Uh.. It’s already bell. Let’s go Yoonhye-ah..” L.joe said.
You slowly nodded, “Uh-oh yeah. I’ll go ahead now Sohyun-ah.. Annyeong! See you later!” you waved. She wavef back, “Later..”
“By the way, nice meeting you. Annyeong!” L.joe said to her. Sohyun couldn’t help but smiled. “Nado.. Annyeong!” she waved.
With that, you and L.joe headed to your classroom as Sohyun also did. *I’m so in love with you now L.joe..* Sohyun smiled.
---
Class ended, you placed all your stuffs to your bag and stood up planning to leave.
You were about to left the classroom when L.joe suddenly spoke, “Wait!”
You look down at him, “Wae?” you asked. “When are we going to start our project?” he asked.
You paused for a while to think, “Um.. Let’s start it on Saturday.” you said as you started to walk away.
“Where are we going to meet?” he shouted for you to hear. You look back, “I’ll just text it to you. Annyeong!” with that, you completely disappeared on his sight.
A smile came up to his face, *She will text me again!!! Wooohhoooo!!* he squealed on his head.
CHAPTER 14
Saturday came, you suddenly wake up because of the ring of your phone. You slowly open your eyes and yawned.
“Ahhhh~~ I want to sleep more..” you then grabbed your phone and saw the caller ID, it’s your besfriend Sohyun.
*Why is she calling this early in the morning?* you wondered as you pressed the ‘answer’ button and put it on your ear. “Yeoboseyo?” you answered.
“Good morning Yoonhye-ah..” you heard her replied. “Not actually good. I want to sleep more but you just called. Wae?” you asked.
“Psh! I want to go to the mall, can you go with me? Please... It’s Saturday so I think you’re not busy. Am I right?” Sohyun said. “Wait! Today is Saturday?” you gasped.
“Yeah. So go with me araseo?” she said. “Omo! I forgot, I need to start our project today.” you said.
“Project?” she asked. You nodded at the phone, “Yeah. Our Reasearch paper.”
“Oh shoot! I forgot that I need to meet my partner today for our Research paper too.” you heard the other line said. “Who’s your partner anyway?” Sohyun suddebly asked.
“Um.. L.joe..” you slowly replied. The other line became silent. “Sohyun-ah, are you still there?” you asked.
“Uh-oh yeah.. Um.. Goodluck with our project. I need to go now. Bye bye!” she said.
With that, the phone call ended. You let out a sigh, *I hope she’s not mad at me..*
“Uh yeah.. I stil need to text L.joe.” you grabbed your phone and started to text him.
to: L.joe
Good morning~ Let’s just meet here at our house then I’ll tell you where do we start our project.
from: Yoonhye
---
L.joe on the other hand, waiting for your text when his phone suddenly rang.
Without a second, he quickly grabbed it and smiled as he saw your name as the sender. His co-members rolled their eyes on him.
L.joe ignored them and texted you back.
to: Yoonhye
Okay. I’ll go there. See you.
from: L.joe
---
After you read L.joe’s reply, you went to the bathroom to wash and get ready.
Just after an hour, you went out and wear a jeans and simple shirt on top.
Suddenly, the bell rang. Your mom open it and saw a guy with a mask on his face. Your mom raised an eyebrow, “Yes?” she asked.
“Is Yoonhye here?” the guy asked. “May I know who you are?” she asked.
L.joe carefully removed the mask and bowed, “Annyeonghaseyo! Lee Byunghun-imnida aka L.joe of Teen Top.” he greeted with a smile.
Your mom shock on his good looking face. “Omo! You’re an idol right?” she gasped. L.joe nodded, “Yes ma’am..” he answered.
“Uh-oh.. Come in, come in..” you mom welcome him as she led the way. L.joe followed and sat at the couch as he put back his mask on.
“Yoonhye-ah! L.joe is here. Go down now.” you heard your mom said. With that, you went out from your room and went down.
The first one you saw is a guy wearing a mask was sitting at the couch and your mom talking with him.
You raised an eyebrow, *I thought L.joe is here.. Then where he is now?* you asked yourself.
Your mom suddenly noticed you, “Uh.. Yoonhye-ah..” she whispered. “Omma, where’s L.joe?” you asked.
Your mom just gave you a smile and nodded to the guy with a mask’s direction. “Here he is..” she said.
You shifted your gazed at the guy, “You are L.joe?!” you gasped.
CHAPTER 15
“You are L.joe?!” you gasped.
L.joe stood up and smiled behind the mask. “Yes, I am.” you heard his voice. You slowly nodded in understanding.
Your mom suddenly walks to you. “You didn’t tell me that you have an idol boyfriend huh?” she whispered to you.
Your eyes widen and quickly shook your head, “Ani omma. He’s not my boyfriend. He’s only my partner for oir project.” you whispered back.
Your mom’s face fell. “Aww~ I thought he’s your boyfriend.” your mom said in a bit loud voice. “Omma!” you shouted.
“Ooopss! Sorry.” with that, your mom went to the kitchen. “Aish!”
L.joe stood up, “boyfriend?” he asked. You automatically look at him, “Uh-oh.. Don’t mind her. Let’s just go~” you snapped as you went out.
L.joe folowed you. “Where are we going?” he asked.
“Let’s find first all the things we need for our project.” you said. He nodded in understanding.
As both of you are walking, you take a glance at him. *His voice is the same as L.joe but I’m not yet convince that he’s really him..* you said on your mind.
L.joe noticed you, “Still not convinced eh?” he snapped. You look away.
L.joe slowly removed his mask, “Convince now?” he smiled. You look at him and nodded, embarassed. “You’re so cute..” he whispered.
“Eh?” you gasped. L.joe shook his head, “Nothing.” “KYAAAA!!! L.joe!!!” you suddenly heard a loud squeal. You look at the firection of the voice and saw all the girls looking at L.joe. “Oh shit!” L.joe whispered.
Without any hesitation, you grabbed his hand and started to run with him. L.joe look at his hand that you were holding. His heart starting to beat as fast as both of you running.
All the girls were chasing both of you so you look at L.joe, “Hurry up! Before we get caught!” you said to him.
With that, L.joe back to reality and hold your hand instead. He’s noe the one who dragging you to runaway.
As the fans already gone, both you and L.joe stopped running and just walk, still holding each others hand. You let out a sigh, “That was so close..” you whispered. L.joe look at you then to your hands together and smiled.
His heart was very fluttered as he didn’t explain what he did feel right now.
To his disappointment, you suddenly removed your hand from his and run from one of the appliances shop.
L.joe followed your direction. You were staring at one of the TV that displayed there. “What are—” his words cut off when he saw Jinyoung on the screen of the TV.
*Why is she staring at him?* he mentally shook his head, *No, no, no. She’s staring at the TV not him.* you said to himself.
“You like that TV?” he asked. You back to your world and look at him. “Eh?” you asked.
“I’m asking you if you like that TV?” he asked again. You laugh a little and shook your head, “No. Him..” you pointed to the screen who Jinyoung is there. “He’s the one that I like. You know what? He’s my ultimate bias.” you confessed.
L.joe’s expression became sad and just reamined silent. “Um.. Do you know him? Or maybe your friend?” you asked.
L.joe his head, “No. He’s not my friend. I don’t want to be friends with him.” L.joe said. “Eh? Wae? I think he’s good.” you commented.
“Let’s just start our project okay?” he said as he walk away. You titled your head, *What’s wrong with him?* you then followed him.
---
As you two were busy for your project, both you didn’t talk much to each other.
“Wanna go eat first?” you suddenly asked. “I don’t want.” he snapped.
You pouted, “I know you’re already hungry so let’s just eat. Come on!” you grabbed his arm and dragged him to the Dukbokki Stand.
L.joe look down at you, “What are we doing here?” he asked. “To eat of course!” you dragged him to sit as you sit aldo, facing him. “Go wear your mask so I can order now.” you said as L.joe did.
“Ahjumma, 2 plated of dukbokki please.” you shouted. The ahjumma nodded, “Okay coming up!”
After a moment, your orders finally arrived. “Here the 2 plates of dukbokki.” the ahjumma then left.
You started to eat as L.joe just stared at you. You noticed him and stopped, “Why don’t you start to eat?” you asked. “Isn’t it dirty?” he asked.
You rolled your eyes, “No it’s not.” you replied. “And I can’t eat when I have this mask on.” he said.
“Okay, I’ll help you. Just up the lower part of your mask so I can feed you.” you said. “Y-You’re going to f-feed me?” he gasped.
You nodded, “Yeah! I know it’s hard fir you so I’ll help you. Go up now.” L.joe didn’t moved and just stared at you.
You raised an eyebrow, “Do you also want me to do it for you huh?” you asked. He quickly shook his head and did what you said. With that, you started to fed him.
“Yummy right?” you asked. L.joe swallowed the dukbokki and automatically nodded. “I knew it!” you said.
“Here..” you feed him again. He ipen his mouth and eat the dukbokki. *Omo! I can’t imagine it. She’s feeding me.. We’re just like a couple..* he secretly smiled.
“Um.. Can you do it by yourself? Coz I want to eat too..” you said.
L.joe nodded, “Uh-oh, yeah..” he took the stick and started to eat by his own as you also did.
---
“I’m already tired.” you whispered as both of you started to walk. “I’ll walk you home now.. Let’s just continue this tomorrow then.” L.joe said.
You nodded, “Okay.”
---
You bowed, “Thank you for walking me home..” you said as you two reach your home.
“Thank you also for the dukbokki. It was my first time to eat that kind of food.” he said. You smiled, “No problem. So see you tomorrow. Annyeong!” you waved and walk in to the house.
L.joe smiled as he put his hands to his pocket, *Yoonhye-ah, I think I’m fallen for you..* he let out a sigh and left.
CHAPTER 16
Next day, Sunday. L.joe went to your house to continue the project with you.
He rang the door bell. Your mom approach it. “Uh.. L.joe.. Come in.” she welcome him as he followed her inside.
“Good thing, you didn’t put your mask on.” your mom said. “Uh yeah. I didn’t wear it since we’re not going out.” L.joe replied.
“You two not going out?” she asked. L.joe nodded, “We’re going to start our project today and we decided to do it here.” he replied.
Your mom nodded in understanding.
“Um.. Where’s Yoonhye?” he suddenly asked. “Uh yeah. I almost forgot hehe. She’s still in bed. I’ll go wake her up. Wait here~” your mom was about to go upstairs but L.joe stop her.
“Can I just wake her up instead?” he asked. Your mom look at him, suspicious. “Is it okay with you?” she asked.
L.joe nodded.
“Okay then. When you go upstairs, you turned to right then the first door, that’s her room.” you mom explained as L.joe nodded again.
He went upstairs and followed your mom’s instruction. He lightly tapped the door, no response. He slowly open it to not wake you up.
A smile went up to his face as he saw your sleeping face. *You’re the most beautiful girl that I know when asleep.* he slowly close the door.
His smile vanished when his eyes suddenly caught all your Jinyoung posters. He looks at them one by one, *She did really like him. How I wish I’m on his spot.* L.joe sigh.
“L.joe?” he heard your voice. He spun around to face you, “Uh.. you’re awake.”
“What are you doing here?” you asked as you sat up. He raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you remember? We’re going to continue our project today.” he said.
You nodded, “Uh.. Yeah. I almost forgot!” you replied. He smiled at your cute reaction.
“Wait! I’ll go wash first.” you said as you stood up. He nodded then you went to the bath room.
---
“I’m finish!” you beamed. “Yeah. I guess!” he said.
“Let’s start.” you said as both of you get started. Both you and L.joe do the project seriously.
Lunch came, a light knock came from the door. “Yoonhye-ah, L.joe, eat lunch first.” you heard your mom said.
“Ne omma.” you shouted back. You look at L.joe, “Let’s continue this later. Let’s eat lunch first.” you said as he nodded.
You two went downstairs and eat lunch with your mom.
“Woah~ the food is so delicious!” L.joe commented. “I know right!” you said. Your mom smile,. “Thanks!”
You and L.joe sat side to side as your mom sat to the opposite so she’s facing the two of you.
You were chewing your food as your mom suddenly spoke, “You know what? You two are like a couple.” your mom commented.
You choked by it. L.joe handed you a water as you took it and drink it. “Omma!” you frowned at her.
“Wae? That was only my opinion.” she said. L.joe look at you and smiled. You look away, embarassed.
“I’m already full.” you stood up and look down to L.joe, “Followed me upstairs as you finish.” you said and went upstairs.
“I’m also full. Thank you for the food.” L.joe bowed. “No problem. You two looks cute together.” your mom said with a smile and went to the kitchen while holding the plates to wash.
L.joe raised an eyebrow but smiled too. He went upstairs and help you to the project.
At 4pm, L.joe waves and say goodbye to you and to your mom. He need to go home now since he need to attend for their practice.
---
As the time passed by, you and L.joe become more close to each other. Also because of the project, you two are always together and talking.
One day, when the class finally ended, you and L.joe decided to stay at the classroom to rewrite your research paper.
As L.joe was busy rewriting, you suddenly fall asleep as your head is resting at the desk.
When L.joe noticed you, he couldn’t help but to smiled. He saw you sleeping once again.
---
Sohyun’s class was over. She decided to go to your classroom and to walk hom with you.
As she reach your classroom, she saw L.joe stooped down and staring at your sleeping face.
She quickly hide herself behind the wall, beside the classroom’s door to listen.
“Yoonhye-ah, what have you done to make my heart beats so fast to you..” she suddenly heard L.joe said to you.
Sohyun’s eyes widen as she covered her mouth by her both hands. *L.joe likes Yoonhye?*
CHAPTER 17
Next day, you straightly went to the school for you to have a talk with L.joe about the project.
“We still not yet done on rewriting. Do you want to do it now since it’s early before the classs starts.” you said to him.
He nodded, “Okay. No problem with me.” he replied with a smile. You couldn’t help but to smiled back as you handed the paper to him.
He warmly took it and started to rewrite as you also did.
Suddenly, your teacher arrived. You grabbed the papers from L.joe, “Let’s just continue this when we have free time.” you whispered as he nodded again.
---
Lunch break came, you put all your stuffs to your bag and stood up, planning to leave.
“Wait! Are we not going to continue rewriting?” he asked. You shook your head, “Sohyun is waiting for me at the canteen right now so I can’t. Maybe we can continue rewriting tomorrow.” you said.
You were about to leave as he spoke again, “Let’s go together to the canteen then.” he said as he stood up and walk passed by you. You raised an eyebrow but smiled and followed him.
As both of you reach the canteen, you saw Sohyun with Jiyeon and Sohee at one of the table there.
You say goodbye at L.joe and went to Sohyun’s direction. You were smiling at that time. “Annyeong Sohyun-ah..” you greeted her.
Sohyun could feel that you’re happy before you abd L.joe separated. She just give you a small smile.
You sat next to her as you started to eat with them. Sohyun started to ask about L.joe as you happily answer her with a wide smiled on your face.
Suddenly, an unexpected question ask you coming from Sohyun. “Do you like him?”
Your smile fell. You paused by her question. *Do I like him?* even yourself, you didn’t know the answer on that question.
“Yoonhye-ah, do you like him?” Sohyun repeated her question. You could see on her face that she’s worrying. You look atraightly into her eyes, “Yes, I like him..” her expression become pale.
“..I like him as a friend.” you continued. A sudden smike came up to her face after she heard what you said.
“Really?” she asked. You nodded and give her a small smile.
With that, both of you continue to eat.
---
After lunch, you headed to your room. L.joe was already there.
He smiled at you, “Did you eat a lot?” he asked. You nodded and give him a fake smile.
Suddenly, your teacher came and started to discuss as L.joe faced the front and listen.
You take a glance at him, *Do I really like as a friend only? Or in different way?*
CHAPTER 18
Valentines Day...
“Yoonhye-ah!” Sohyun run towards you as you were walking to school gate.
“Eh? Wae?” you asked. “Um.. This.. Try this..” she show a heart box from her behind. She carefully open it and put a piece of chocolate in front of your mouth.
You raised an eyebrow. “Just take a bite.” she said. You nodded and took a bite on it.
“How does it taste?” she asked you seriously. You carefully swallowed the chocolate and smiled, “I love the taste!” you beamed.
“Really?!” she asked. You eagerly nodded. “Good to hear that my chocolates taste good.” she said.
“But... Why do you make some chocolates?” you asked. “Because today is Valentines Day.” she beamed.
“Valentines Day? Uh.. I almost forgot!” you gasped. “Aigoo! You babo!” Sohyun shook her head.
“Um.. Yoonhye-ah, can you give these chocolates to L.joe?” she asked. “To L-L.joe?!” you gasped. She nodded, “Of course! Who would it be then? He’s my bias, remember?” she reminded.
“Uh-oh.. Yeah.” you nodded in understanding. “So.. Are you going to help me?” she asked.
“I think you are the right person to give those chocolates to him in person.” you explained.
“You think so?” she asked as you nodded.
Suddenly, the bell rang.
“Okay. I’ll go give this to him after class.” Sohyun said as both of you separated.
Before you went to your class, you went first to your locker to get your research paper.
As you open your locker, you saw a heart-shaped box of chocolates and card on it.
You open the card and read it.
to: Yoonhye
Happy Valentines Day!
Please accept the heart-shaped box of chocolates for you to feel my heart and see how it beats for you~
from: you’ll know later^^
You raised an eyberow, *Who’s exactly it is?* you thought but a smile formed on your face.
But then you remembered that you still have class so you put all of it back to your locker as you headed to your classroom together with the research paper.
CHAPTER 19
“I’m sorry. I’m late.” you bowed to your teacher as you entered the classroom.
“It’s okay. Take your seat now.” yout teacher said. You bowed once again, “Kamsahamnida.”
With that, you walks to your seat. L.joe was seriously listening to your teacher so you didn’t bother him.
You take a glance at him, *He looks different today.* you then faced the front and listen also to the lesson.
---
“Class dismissed.” you teacher said and left the classroom.
You sighed and faced L.joe to talk about your project but all your classmates (girls) went up to him to give him their chocolates. You let out a sigh and decided to left the room.
At the Canteen, you meet up with your friends to have a luch with them but only Sohyun is there.
“Where’s Jiyeon and Sohee?” you aske her. You saw her nodded to the other direction.
You followed her nod and saw Jiyeon and Sohee with the other girl students trying to catch up Teen Top. “They want to give their chocolates to them.” Sohyun said. You shook your head and you sat next to Sohyun.
“I can’t wait till the class ended. I really want to give my chocolates to L.joe.” Sohyun suddenly said.
You fake a smile and started to eat as Sohyun also did.
---
Lunch break was over, you and Sohyun got separated.
You went to your class and saw L.joe tiredly rested his head on his desk.
You sat to your seat and look at him, “Tired?” you asked. He tiredly nodded and sighed.
“Um.. I guess you can go home early today since you looks really tired. I will rewrite our research paper by myself.” you said.
L.joe then straightly sat and shook his head, “No. I’ll help you.” he snapped.
“But—” you want to protest but L.joe cut you off, “No buts!” he blurted.
Suddenly, your teacher came and started the lesson.
---
As the class already ended, your teacher left the classroom. All your classmates also leaved.
Meanwhile, you and L.joe started to rewrite. Silence filled the classroom. No talking.
L.joe suddenly spoke, “Um.. Do you receive any present today?”
“Yes. I received a box of chocolates.” you replied, still focusing on what you were doing.
“Do you like it?” he asked. You nodded, “I actually love it!” you smiled as you continued rewriting.
A smile came up to his face, “I’m glad you like it!” he said. You stopped on rewriting and take a look at him.
“Wae?” he asked. “Did you know who give those chocolates to me?” you asked as you crossed your arms.
“To be honest, I’m the one who gave those chocolates to you.” he looks into your eyes with a serious face.
You frozed after you heard what he said. He’s actually confessing to yiu right now. You want to ask many questions but no words came out from your mouth.
Without saying a word, you grabbed your bag and stood up, “I need to go now.”
You were about to leave but he suddenly grabbed your wrist and make you faced him. “I know my confession is unexpected but it’s the truth. Joahe..” he whispered.
You remained silent and just stared at him. “Nomu Joahe Yoonhye-ah.. Do.. You like me too?” he asked.
You look away, “I’m sorry..” you whispered.
“Sorry for what?” he asked. “I’m sorry because.. because.. I didn’t feel the same way as you.” you replied as you bit your bittom lip.
“You’re lying! Look staightly inyo my eyes then say that you didn’t love me.” he said.
You slowly look into his eyes, “Mianhe—” L.joe didn’t let you finish your sentence but suddenly hugged you.
You were so shocked by his action, “Please stop saying that you’re sorry..” he whispered.
You could feel his heart beat. It’s beats so fast. “L.joe..” you whispered, giving him a signal to let you go.
“Let’s just stay like this for a while..” he whispered. You didn’t even protest to it and let him hug you. His hug was so warm that made you want to stop the time for that moment.
Suddenly, you heard a bit loud sound coming from the door. Both you and L.joe turned to the door only to see Sohyun dropped the box of chocolates on the floor.
You could see tears falling from her eyes as she runaway. “Sohyun-ah, wait!” you lightly pushed L.joe and run after your bestfriend.
CHAPTER 20
As you followed Sohyun, L.joe was also followed you.
You saw Sohyun run to the exit while crying. You run faster for you to catch her.
As Sohyun finally out the school, you caught her arm and spun her wround to made her face you. “Let’s talk..” you said.
“Is there still need for that?” she raised an eyebrow as her tears keeps on falling.
You didn’t want to see her tears. When she’s hurt, you feel hurt too. “Sohyun-ah.. Let me explain..” you whispered.
“No need to explain! I already saw and it already explain to me!” she said.
Sohyun was about to leave when you grabbed her arm once again but she twisted her arm that made you out of your balance.
Luckily, L.joe caught you at the right time. You were so shocked on what Sohyun did to you. You didn’t expect your bestfriend can do that.
“Yah! She almost fall on the ground, you know that?!” you heard L.joe shouted at your bestfriend.
You saw another tear fall from her eyes as she heard L.joe’s cold voice. She gave you a glared before she could completely disappeared on your sight.
You stood straight, “Sohyun-ah!” you were about to follow her again but L.joe grabbed your arm. “Let her go..” he whispered.
You spun spun around to face him. A tear started to fall from your eyes, “It’s all your fault. I don’t want you to come close to me again. Please leave me alone!” you removed his hand from your arm and walk away crying.
L.joe frozed on his spot. He couldn’t believe what you just said to him. He’s really hurt right now, *Yoonhye-ah...*
---
As you reach your house, you wiped your tears before you went in.
Your mom was busy watching as you entered the house. But when you were about to go upstairs, she suddenly noticed you.
“Uh.. Yoonhye-ah.. You already here.” your mom said. “Ne omma..” you replied, not even looking at her.
“Something bad happen?” she asked. You automatically look at her by her sudden question. “Eh?”
You saw your mom frowned as she walk to you, “Why your eyes are red? Did you cried?” she worriedly asked.
You shook your head, “Ani.. It’s nothing.”
Your mom want to ask you again but the door bell suddenly rang. “Wait up.” your mom said as she walks to the door to see who the visitor is on the small TV near the door.
“L.joe is here.” you heard her said. She was about to open it when you suddenly spoke, “No! Don’t let him in. If he ask where am I, tell him that I’m not home.” you said.
“But—” “Just tell him what I said.” you snapped as you went upstairs.
Your mom sighed as she open the door, “Uh.. L.joe.” she act normally.
“Is Yoonhye inside?” L.joe asked. “Uh-oh.. Mianhe but she’s still not home yet.” your mom lied.
“But I saw her enter your house. Please Ma’am, I really need to talk to her.” L.joe said.
Your mom let out a sigh, “Okay you’re rihgt she’s here but she didn’t want me to let you in. Mianhe.” your mom said.
L.joe lowered his head in sadness. “Uh-oh.. I understand.” he whispered.
“I didn’t know what’s the problem with you two but I’ll try to talk to her and convince her to talk to you.” your mom said.
L.joe look up and bowed, “Thank you ma’am.” Your mom smiled, “Now, you go home first.”
L.joe nodded and left. With that, your mom shut the door.
After class, all your classmates already went home as both you and L.joe stayed at the classroom waiting for your detention.
“Ms. Jung and Mr. Lee, follow me.” your teacher said as you two did.
---
“So.. Your detention is to clean all the pool area. Go get started now. I need to see a different when I coke back araseo?” your teacher said as all of you arrived at the pool area.
You and L.joe automatically nodded, “DAE!!” both of you answered.
“I’m going now..” with that, your teacher left.
The atmosphere bacome silent. You then cleared your throat and look at L.joe, “You can go now. I know you are a busy person.” you said.
L.joe look at you, “How about you? And what if our teacher ask you about me?” he asked.
“Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to her so now, you just go home.” you said. L.joe shook his, “No. I don’t want.”
“But—” you was about to protest but L.jie cut you off, “I said no. I want to help you.” with that, L.joe grabbed the net and started to clean the pool.
You didn’t say a word anymore and just grabbed the other net and help him to clean the pool.
“Um.. Can I ask you something?” you suddenly asked. “What is it?” he replied without looking at you.
“Are you the one who texted me last night?” you asked. L.joe paused for a while but finally answered, “Yes..” he almost whispered.
“Then why didn’t you say who you are in the text message?” you asked as you continued cleaning the pool. “I just want you to guess first.” he replied.
You nodded in understanding.
“Why didn’t you reply anyways?” he asked. You suddenly stopped on what you were doing then look at him, “Because I’m not replying to someone that I didn’t even know.” you replied.
“But you already know me right?” he raised an eyrbrow. “Yes if you type your name in the text message.” you rolled your eyes and continued cleaning.
L.joe pouted and also continued cleaning.
As both you and L.joe finished the pool, both of you sat to take a rest for a while.
“Are we already done?” he suddenly asked. You shook your head, “We still need to map the floor.” you replied.
He nodded in understanding.
“But if you’re already tired, I can do it by myself.” you added. L.joe look at you, “No. It’s our punishment so we need to do it together.” he snapped.
“Okay, as you said.” you stood up and started mapping the floor. L.joe also stood up to help you when you accidentally lost your balance.
Luckily, L.joe caught you at the right time as both of you fall on the floor. You were lying on the floor as L.joe on the top of you.
Both of you just stared at each other, bot saying a word. Your heart started to beat so fast and so L.joe did.
Suddenly, L.joe’s eye glasses fall on the floor so you can see the dark circles on his face so close. You couldn’t but burst into laughter.
L.joe quickly get off from you as he grabbed his eye glasses and put it back to his eyes. He look away, embarassed.
You slowly stood up, still laughing. “Yah! Could you please stop?!” L.joe said.
You stopped laughing but a smile didn’t appeared on your face. L.joe pouted, “It’s all you fault.” he said.
You look at him, puzzled. “Why me?” “Because you didn’t reply to me last night.” he said.
“At what hour did you wait for my reply by the way?” you asked. “2am..” he whispered.
Your eyes widen, “What?! 2am?” you gasped. “Uh.. Yeah. And if you want to laugh at me, go ahead.” he grabbed the map and started to clean the floor.
You also grabbed the other map and help him to clean to floor, “Mianhe..” you feel sorry about him.
L.joe stopped and look at you, “Eh?” You also stopped and look back at him, “I’m sorry if I keep you waiting. I promise to replied to you this time.” you said.
A smiled went up to his face, “You better!” he said. “So.. Did you already forgive me?” you asked.
“No!” L.jo continued to map the floor. You pouted and just continued mapping also.
L.joe take a glance at you once again and secretly smiled while mapping the floor.
---
“Okay. Since the pool area is already clean, you two can go now..” your teacher said as she went back to the pool area.
Both you and L.joe bowed, “Kamsahamnida Seonsaengnim..”
Your teacher then left.
“I’m going now. Annyeong!” you waved at him and started to walk away. But then, you heard foot steps from behind.
You spun around and saw L.joe. “Why are you following me?” you asked. “Let me walk you home.” he replied.
You shook your head, “No need to do that. I can take care of myself.” you snapped. “If you want me to forgive you then let me walk you home.” he said as he walk passed by you.
You just pouted and followed him.
---
“We’re here~” you said as both of you reach your house. “Uh-oh..” L.joe nodded in understanding.
You lightly bowed, “Thank you for walking me home.” you said. “No problem.” he replied.
“You go now. It’s getting late now.” you said. “Go in first before I leave.” he conditioned.
“But—” “Just do what I said if you want me to forgive you.” L.joe snapped.
You pouted, “Araseo. Go home safe. Annyeong!” you waved then went inside the house.
L.joe let out a sigh as he put both of his hands on his pocket and smiled. *Better text her when I reach home since she said that she’s going to reply now.* with that, L.joe completely left.
CHAPTER 12
As you enter the house, you bowed and greeted your mom and went straightly to your room to change your clothes.
After changing, you went out to have dinner with your mother since your father is already dead ever since you were child.
---
As L.joe got home, he went straight to his room with a smile on his face.
His co-members raised an eyebrow and grew interested behind his smile.
They all followed him to his room. Chunji was the one who open the door without knocking.
L.joe is currently cahnging at that time. “Yah! Don’t you know how to knock?!” L.joe yelled while covering his body by his school uniform.
“Sorry but I didn’t know.” Chunji smirked as he enter the room. The others followed him.
L.joe spun around so they are now facing his back. He then quickly put his shirt on.
They all rolled their eyes on him.
As L.joe finished changing, he spun around to faced again his co-members. “What are you guys doing here at my room?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Wae? Can’t we huh?!” CAP said. L.joe rolled his eyes, “Just tell me what you guys need okay..”
“Hyung, we just saw you smiling when you got home..” Ricky said. “Yeah. And we’re just wondering why..” Niel added.
All his co-members suspiciously look at him.
“What’s wrong with my smile?” with that, L.joe left the room as they followed.
“I think his smile is beacause of a girl! Am I right hyung?” Changjo blurted.
“Let’s just eat okay..” L.joe said as he went to the dining area. The others just followed.
---
Both you and L.joe eat dinner at the same time but in different house.
---
“I’m full.” you said as you finished your dinner. Your mom nodded, “Good night baby..”
You smiled and kissed her cheek, “Good night omma..” you whispered. With that, you went to the washroom to tooth brush your teeth.
After you tooth brush, you wash your face and changed to your sleeping dress. As you finished, you went to your bed and laid on it.
You were about to close your eyes when you received a text message from the unknown number.
to: Yoonhye
Hello! L.joe is here. Are you going to sleep now? Or you’re already sleeping?
from: unknown number
A smile suddenly formed on your face. *He did put his name now..* you thought.
You edit the number and saved it as L.joe’s number.
You then texted back,
to: L.joe
I’m still awake, why?
from: Yoonhye
L.joe was waiting for your reply when a text message suddenly came. He quickly grabbed his phone and saw your name on the screen as the sender.
A wide smile went up to his face. He positioned himself to sat to make a perfect position to text you back.
He started to text you, a smile still on his face. His co-members shook their head on him.
to: Yoonhye
Um.. I just want to ask about our project together.
from: L.joe
That was his reply but it’s not the real reason why he texted you.
Suddenly, you texted back.
to: L.joe
I didn’t make a plan about it yet. Let’s just talk about it tomorrow at school. I’m sleepy now.
from: Yoonhye
As L.joe read your reply, he feel disappointed as he pouted but still text you back.
to: Yoonhye
Okay. Good night, sweet dreams ^^
from: L.joe
You couldn’t but smiled on his replied. After you read it, you placed it to your drawer and go to sleep.
L.joe on the other hand, didn’t wait for your reply that he could feel that you already fall asleep.
L.joe went to his room and laid on his bed, *I hope I’ll meet you in my dreams..* with that, L.joe fall asleep with a smile on his face.
CHAPTER 13
Next morning, you woke up early to prepared for school. After that, you waved and goodbye to your mom then went out.
Before you could enter the school, someone called you. “Yoonhye-ah!”
You spun around and to your shock it was L.joe who’s calling your name. He was running towards you.
“Wae?” you asked raising an eyebrow. “I just want to walk with you to the classroom.” he said. You nodded in understanding.
“So.. She’s the one huh?!” CAP suddenly appeared from nowhere together with the other members.
L.joe gave him a look as you look at them puzzled.
Then you saw Ricky staring at you. You started to feel uncomfortable so you just give him a small smile.
“Woah~ noona is so pretty. What’s your name noona?” Ricky asked as he went to your side.
You turned pink by his praise. “Jung Yoonhye, my name is Jung Yoonhye.” you replied.
“Woah~ you also have a beautiful name. Can I call you Yoonhye noona?” he asked. You laugh a little and nodded, “I would love to.”
“Even your laugh is beautiful..” a sudden voice said coming from your other side. You turned to it and saw Niel smiling.
You just smiled back. “Can I call you noona too?” you heard Changjo said next to Niel. You awkwardly smiled and nodded.
Chunji then walk towards you. He reach your hand and gently kissed back of your hand that made you stepped back. “Can I call you babe then?” he gave you his killer smile.
Your face started to heat up because of what he did. *Omo! What is he doing?*
Suddenly, L.joe grabbed your wrist and dargged you to his side. “Stop bothering her! Come on Yoonhye-ah, let’s go to our classroom.” with that he dragged you inside the school.
Chunji smirked, “Jealous eh?” the others laugh and shook their heads because of L.joe’s action.
---
L.joe is still holding your wrist as both of you entered the school. All the students were staring at you. Sohyun was still there and then you noticed that L.joe is holding your wrist.
You quickly removed your wrist from him and run to Sohyun. “Sohyun-ah!” you called with a smile.
Sohyun just give you a small smile.
L.joe’s eyes followed your direction and saw you talking to your bestfriend so he also walks to your direction.
---
“Good morning~” you greeted your bestfriend. Sohyun just remained silent. You lightly squeezed her hand, “Wae? Something wrong?” you asked.
She look up to you and stared to your eyes, “Why are you witg L.joe?” she asked.
“Uh-oh.. We just met at the gate that’s why we’re together.” you explained. “Then why is he holding your wrist?” she asked once more.
“Uh.. That.. You know his co-members right?” you asked as she nodded.
You then tell her what happened as Sohyun nodded but now with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, L.joe appeared behind you. Sohyun just stared at him with a spark on her eyes. You raised an eyebrow at her, “Wae? You saw a ghost?” you asked.
Sohyun shook her head then whispered, “L.joe..” You spun only to see L.joe standing there smiling.
“What are you doing here?” you asked. Sohyun elbowed you, “Yah! Don’t ask him like that!”
Sohyun loo back at L.joe and smiled, “Annyeong! Sohyun-imnida, Yoonhye’s bestfriend.” she greeted.
“So.. If I’m not mistaken.. You’re the owner of L.joe’s stuffs eh?” he asked. You could see Sohyun’s face became pink, “Yeah..” she nodded.
“I’m actually your fan. Fan of Teen Top especially you..” Sohyun confessed. You just smiled by her action.
“Really? Wow~ I’m very fluttered.” L.joe admitted as he smiled. Sohyun smiled back, super happy inside.
Suddenly, the bell rang. “Uh.. It’s already bell. Let’s go Yoonhye-ah..” L.joe said.
You slowly nodded, “Uh-oh yeah. I’ll go ahead now Sohyun-ah.. Annyeong! See you later!” you waved. She wavef back, “Later..”
“By the way, nice meeting you. Annyeong!” L.joe said to her. Sohyun couldn’t help but smiled. “Nado.. Annyeong!” she waved.
With that, you and L.joe headed to your classroom as Sohyun also did. *I’m so in love with you now L.joe..* Sohyun smiled.
---
Class ended, you placed all your stuffs to your bag and stood up planning to leave.
You were about to left the classroom when L.joe suddenly spoke, “Wait!”
You look down at him, “Wae?” you asked. “When are we going to start our project?” he asked.
You paused for a while to think, “Um.. Let’s start it on Saturday.” you said as you started to walk away.
“Where are we going to meet?” he shouted for you to hear. You look back, “I’ll just text it to you. Annyeong!” with that, you completely disappeared on his sight.
A smile came up to his face, *She will text me again!!! Wooohhoooo!!* he squealed on his head.
CHAPTER 14
Saturday came, you suddenly wake up because of the ring of your phone. You slowly open your eyes and yawned.
“Ahhhh~~ I want to sleep more..” you then grabbed your phone and saw the caller ID, it’s your besfriend Sohyun.
*Why is she calling this early in the morning?* you wondered as you pressed the ‘answer’ button and put it on your ear. “Yeoboseyo?” you answered.
“Good morning Yoonhye-ah..” you heard her replied. “Not actually good. I want to sleep more but you just called. Wae?” you asked.
“Psh! I want to go to the mall, can you go with me? Please... It’s Saturday so I think you’re not busy. Am I right?” Sohyun said. “Wait! Today is Saturday?” you gasped.
“Yeah. So go with me araseo?” she said. “Omo! I forgot, I need to start our project today.” you said.
“Project?” she asked. You nodded at the phone, “Yeah. Our Reasearch paper.”
“Oh shoot! I forgot that I need to meet my partner today for our Research paper too.” you heard the other line said. “Who’s your partner anyway?” Sohyun suddebly asked.
“Um.. L.joe..” you slowly replied. The other line became silent. “Sohyun-ah, are you still there?” you asked.
“Uh-oh yeah.. Um.. Goodluck with our project. I need to go now. Bye bye!” she said.
With that, the phone call ended. You let out a sigh, *I hope she’s not mad at me..*
“Uh yeah.. I stil need to text L.joe.” you grabbed your phone and started to text him.
to: L.joe
Good morning~ Let’s just meet here at our house then I’ll tell you where do we start our project.
from: Yoonhye
---
L.joe on the other hand, waiting for your text when his phone suddenly rang.
Without a second, he quickly grabbed it and smiled as he saw your name as the sender. His co-members rolled their eyes on him.
L.joe ignored them and texted you back.
to: Yoonhye
Okay. I’ll go there. See you.
from: L.joe
---
After you read L.joe’s reply, you went to the bathroom to wash and get ready.
Just after an hour, you went out and wear a jeans and simple shirt on top.
Suddenly, the bell rang. Your mom open it and saw a guy with a mask on his face. Your mom raised an eyebrow, “Yes?” she asked.
“Is Yoonhye here?” the guy asked. “May I know who you are?” she asked.
L.joe carefully removed the mask and bowed, “Annyeonghaseyo! Lee Byunghun-imnida aka L.joe of Teen Top.” he greeted with a smile.
Your mom shock on his good looking face. “Omo! You’re an idol right?” she gasped. L.joe nodded, “Yes ma’am..” he answered.
“Uh-oh.. Come in, come in..” you mom welcome him as she led the way. L.joe followed and sat at the couch as he put back his mask on.
“Yoonhye-ah! L.joe is here. Go down now.” you heard your mom said. With that, you went out from your room and went down.
The first one you saw is a guy wearing a mask was sitting at the couch and your mom talking with him.
You raised an eyebrow, *I thought L.joe is here.. Then where he is now?* you asked yourself.
Your mom suddenly noticed you, “Uh.. Yoonhye-ah..” she whispered. “Omma, where’s L.joe?” you asked.
Your mom just gave you a smile and nodded to the guy with a mask’s direction. “Here he is..” she said.
You shifted your gazed at the guy, “You are L.joe?!” you gasped.
CHAPTER 15
“You are L.joe?!” you gasped.
L.joe stood up and smiled behind the mask. “Yes, I am.” you heard his voice. You slowly nodded in understanding.
Your mom suddenly walks to you. “You didn’t tell me that you have an idol boyfriend huh?” she whispered to you.
Your eyes widen and quickly shook your head, “Ani omma. He’s not my boyfriend. He’s only my partner for oir project.” you whispered back.
Your mom’s face fell. “Aww~ I thought he’s your boyfriend.” your mom said in a bit loud voice. “Omma!” you shouted.
“Ooopss! Sorry.” with that, your mom went to the kitchen. “Aish!”
L.joe stood up, “boyfriend?” he asked. You automatically look at him, “Uh-oh.. Don’t mind her. Let’s just go~” you snapped as you went out.
L.joe folowed you. “Where are we going?” he asked.
“Let’s find first all the things we need for our project.” you said. He nodded in understanding.
As both of you are walking, you take a glance at him. *His voice is the same as L.joe but I’m not yet convince that he’s really him..* you said on your mind.
L.joe noticed you, “Still not convinced eh?” he snapped. You look away.
L.joe slowly removed his mask, “Convince now?” he smiled. You look at him and nodded, embarassed. “You’re so cute..” he whispered.
“Eh?” you gasped. L.joe shook his head, “Nothing.” “KYAAAA!!! L.joe!!!” you suddenly heard a loud squeal. You look at the firection of the voice and saw all the girls looking at L.joe. “Oh shit!” L.joe whispered.
Without any hesitation, you grabbed his hand and started to run with him. L.joe look at his hand that you were holding. His heart starting to beat as fast as both of you running.
All the girls were chasing both of you so you look at L.joe, “Hurry up! Before we get caught!” you said to him.
With that, L.joe back to reality and hold your hand instead. He’s noe the one who dragging you to runaway.
As the fans already gone, both you and L.joe stopped running and just walk, still holding each others hand. You let out a sigh, “That was so close..” you whispered. L.joe look at you then to your hands together and smiled.
His heart was very fluttered as he didn’t explain what he did feel right now.
To his disappointment, you suddenly removed your hand from his and run from one of the appliances shop.
L.joe followed your direction. You were staring at one of the TV that displayed there. “What are—” his words cut off when he saw Jinyoung on the screen of the TV.
*Why is she staring at him?* he mentally shook his head, *No, no, no. She’s staring at the TV not him.* you said to himself.
“You like that TV?” he asked. You back to your world and look at him. “Eh?” you asked.
“I’m asking you if you like that TV?” he asked again. You laugh a little and shook your head, “No. Him..” you pointed to the screen who Jinyoung is there. “He’s the one that I like. You know what? He’s my ultimate bias.” you confessed.
L.joe’s expression became sad and just reamined silent. “Um.. Do you know him? Or maybe your friend?” you asked.
L.joe his head, “No. He’s not my friend. I don’t want to be friends with him.” L.joe said. “Eh? Wae? I think he’s good.” you commented.
“Let’s just start our project okay?” he said as he walk away. You titled your head, *What’s wrong with him?* you then followed him.
---
As you two were busy for your project, both you didn’t talk much to each other.
“Wanna go eat first?” you suddenly asked. “I don’t want.” he snapped.
You pouted, “I know you’re already hungry so let’s just eat. Come on!” you grabbed his arm and dragged him to the Dukbokki Stand.
L.joe look down at you, “What are we doing here?” he asked. “To eat of course!” you dragged him to sit as you sit aldo, facing him. “Go wear your mask so I can order now.” you said as L.joe did.
“Ahjumma, 2 plated of dukbokki please.” you shouted. The ahjumma nodded, “Okay coming up!”
After a moment, your orders finally arrived. “Here the 2 plates of dukbokki.” the ahjumma then left.
You started to eat as L.joe just stared at you. You noticed him and stopped, “Why don’t you start to eat?” you asked. “Isn’t it dirty?” he asked.
You rolled your eyes, “No it’s not.” you replied. “And I can’t eat when I have this mask on.” he said.
“Okay, I’ll help you. Just up the lower part of your mask so I can feed you.” you said. “Y-You’re going to f-feed me?” he gasped.
You nodded, “Yeah! I know it’s hard fir you so I’ll help you. Go up now.” L.joe didn’t moved and just stared at you.
You raised an eyebrow, “Do you also want me to do it for you huh?” you asked. He quickly shook his head and did what you said. With that, you started to fed him.
“Yummy right?” you asked. L.joe swallowed the dukbokki and automatically nodded. “I knew it!” you said.
“Here..” you feed him again. He ipen his mouth and eat the dukbokki. *Omo! I can’t imagine it. She’s feeding me.. We’re just like a couple..* he secretly smiled.
“Um.. Can you do it by yourself? Coz I want to eat too..” you said.
L.joe nodded, “Uh-oh, yeah..” he took the stick and started to eat by his own as you also did.
---
“I’m already tired.” you whispered as both of you started to walk. “I’ll walk you home now.. Let’s just continue this tomorrow then.” L.joe said.
You nodded, “Okay.”
---
You bowed, “Thank you for walking me home..” you said as you two reach your home.
“Thank you also for the dukbokki. It was my first time to eat that kind of food.” he said. You smiled, “No problem. So see you tomorrow. Annyeong!” you waved and walk in to the house.
L.joe smiled as he put his hands to his pocket, *Yoonhye-ah, I think I’m fallen for you..* he let out a sigh and left.

He rang the door bell. Your mom approach it. “Uh.. L.joe.. Come in.” she welcome him as he followed her inside.
“Good thing, you didn’t put your mask on.” your mom said. “Uh yeah. I didn’t wear it since we’re not going out.” L.joe replied.
“You two not going out?” she asked. L.joe nodded, “We’re going to start our project today and we decided to do it here.” he replied.
Your mom nodded in understanding.
“Um.. Where’s Yoonhye?” he suddenly asked. “Uh yeah. I almost forgot hehe. She’s still in bed. I’ll go wake her up. Wait here~” your mom was about to go upstairs but L.joe stop her.
“Can I just wake her up instead?” he asked. Your mom look at him, suspicious. “Is it okay with you?” she asked.
L.joe nodded.
“Okay then. When you go upstairs, you turned to right then the first door, that’s her room.” you mom explained as L.joe nodded again.
He went upstairs and followed your mom’s instruction. He lightly tapped the door, no response. He slowly open it to not wake you up.
A smile went up to his face as he saw your sleeping face. *You’re the most beautiful girl that I know when asleep.* he slowly close the door.
His smile vanished when his eyes suddenly caught all your Jinyoung posters. He looks at them one by one, *She did really like him. How I wish I’m on his spot.* L.joe sigh.
“L.joe?” he heard your voice. He spun around to face you, “Uh.. you’re awake.”
“What are you doing here?” you asked as you sat up. He raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you remember? We’re going to continue our project today.” he said.
You nodded, “Uh.. Yeah. I almost forgot!” you replied. He smiled at your cute reaction.
“Wait! I’ll go wash first.” you said as you stood up. He nodded then you went to the bath room.

“I’m finish!” you beamed. “Yeah. I guess!” he said.
“Let’s start.” you said as both of you get started. Both you and L.joe do the project seriously.

“Ne omma.” you shouted back. You look at L.joe, “Let’s continue this later. Let’s eat lunch first.” you said as he nodded.
You two went downstairs and eat lunch with your mom.
“Woah~ the food is so delicious!” L.joe commented. “I know right!” you said. Your mom smile,. “Thanks!”
You and L.joe sat side to side as your mom sat to the opposite so she’s facing the two of you.
You were chewing your food as your mom suddenly spoke, “You know what? You two are like a couple.” your mom commented.
You choked by it. L.joe handed you a water as you took it and drink it. “Omma!” you frowned at her.
“Wae? That was only my opinion.” she said. L.joe look at you and smiled. You look away, embarassed.
“I’m already full.” you stood up and look down to L.joe, “Followed me upstairs as you finish.” you said and went upstairs.
“I’m also full. Thank you for the food.” L.joe bowed. “No problem. You two looks cute together.” your mom said with a smile and went to the kitchen while holding the plates to wash.
L.joe raised an eyebrow but smiled too. He went upstairs and help you to the project.
At 4pm, L.joe waves and say goodbye to you and to your mom. He need to go home now since he need to attend for their practice.

As the time passed by, you and L.joe become more close to each other. Also because of the project, you two are always together and talking.
One day, when the class finally ended, you and L.joe decided to stay at the classroom to rewrite your research paper.
As L.joe was busy rewriting, you suddenly fall asleep as your head is resting at the desk.
When L.joe noticed you, he couldn’t help but to smiled. He saw you sleeping once again.

Sohyun’s class was over. She decided to go to your classroom and to walk hom with you.
As she reach your classroom, she saw L.joe stooped down and staring at your sleeping face.
She quickly hide herself behind the wall, beside the classroom’s door to listen.
“Yoonhye-ah, what have you done to make my heart beats so fast to you..” she suddenly heard L.joe said to you.
Sohyun’s eyes widen as she covered her mouth by her both hands. *L.joe likes Yoonhye?*
CHAPTER 17
Next day, you straightly went to the school for you to have a talk with L.joe about the project.
“We still not yet done on rewriting. Do you want to do it now since it’s early before the classs starts.” you said to him.
He nodded, “Okay. No problem with me.” he replied with a smile. You couldn’t help but to smiled back as you handed the paper to him.
He warmly took it and started to rewrite as you also did.
Suddenly, your teacher arrived. You grabbed the papers from L.joe, “Let’s just continue this when we have free time.” you whispered as he nodded again.

Lunch break came, you put all your stuffs to your bag and stood up, planning to leave.
“Wait! Are we not going to continue rewriting?” he asked. You shook your head, “Sohyun is waiting for me at the canteen right now so I can’t. Maybe we can continue rewriting tomorrow.” you said.
You were about to leave as he spoke again, “Let’s go together to the canteen then.” he said as he stood up and walk passed by you. You raised an eyebrow but smiled and followed him.
As both of you reach the canteen, you saw Sohyun with Jiyeon and Sohee at one of the table there.
You say goodbye at L.joe and went to Sohyun’s direction. You were smiling at that time. “Annyeong Sohyun-ah..” you greeted her.
Sohyun could feel that you’re happy before you abd L.joe separated. She just give you a small smile.
You sat next to her as you started to eat with them. Sohyun started to ask about L.joe as you happily answer her with a wide smiled on your face.
Suddenly, an unexpected question ask you coming from Sohyun. “Do you like him?”
Your smile fell. You paused by her question. *Do I like him?* even yourself, you didn’t know the answer on that question.
“Yoonhye-ah, do you like him?” Sohyun repeated her question. You could see on her face that she’s worrying. You look atraightly into her eyes, “Yes, I like him..” her expression become pale.
“..I like him as a friend.” you continued. A sudden smike came up to her face after she heard what you said.
“Really?” she asked. You nodded and give her a small smile.
With that, both of you continue to eat.
---
After lunch, you headed to your room. L.joe was already there.
He smiled at you, “Did you eat a lot?” he asked. You nodded and give him a fake smile.
Suddenly, your teacher came and started to discuss as L.joe faced the front and listen.
You take a glance at him, *Do I really like as a friend only? Or in different way?*
CHAPTER 18

“Yoonhye-ah!” Sohyun run towards you as you were walking to school gate.
“Eh? Wae?” you asked. “Um.. This.. Try this..” she show a heart box from her behind. She carefully open it and put a piece of chocolate in front of your mouth.
You raised an eyebrow. “Just take a bite.” she said. You nodded and took a bite on it.
“How does it taste?” she asked you seriously. You carefully swallowed the chocolate and smiled, “I love the taste!” you beamed.
“Really?!” she asked. You eagerly nodded. “Good to hear that my chocolates taste good.” she said.
“But... Why do you make some chocolates?” you asked. “Because today is Valentines Day.” she beamed.
“Valentines Day? Uh.. I almost forgot!” you gasped. “Aigoo! You babo!” Sohyun shook her head.
“Um.. Yoonhye-ah, can you give these chocolates to L.joe?” she asked. “To L-L.joe?!” you gasped. She nodded, “Of course! Who would it be then? He’s my bias, remember?” she reminded.
“Uh-oh.. Yeah.” you nodded in understanding. “So.. Are you going to help me?” she asked.
“I think you are the right person to give those chocolates to him in person.” you explained.
“You think so?” she asked as you nodded.
Suddenly, the bell rang.
“Okay. I’ll go give this to him after class.” Sohyun said as both of you separated.
Before you went to your class, you went first to your locker to get your research paper.
As you open your locker, you saw a heart-shaped box of chocolates and card on it.
You open the card and read it.

Happy Valentines Day!
Please accept the heart-shaped box of chocolates for you to feel my heart and see how it beats for you~

You raised an eyberow, *Who’s exactly it is?* you thought but a smile formed on your face.
But then you remembered that you still have class so you put all of it back to your locker as you headed to your classroom together with the research paper.
CHAPTER 19
“I’m sorry. I’m late.” you bowed to your teacher as you entered the classroom.
“It’s okay. Take your seat now.” yout teacher said. You bowed once again, “Kamsahamnida.”
With that, you walks to your seat. L.joe was seriously listening to your teacher so you didn’t bother him.
You take a glance at him, *He looks different today.* you then faced the front and listen also to the lesson.
---
“Class dismissed.” you teacher said and left the classroom.
You sighed and faced L.joe to talk about your project but all your classmates (girls) went up to him to give him their chocolates. You let out a sigh and decided to left the room.
At the Canteen, you meet up with your friends to have a luch with them but only Sohyun is there.
“Where’s Jiyeon and Sohee?” you aske her. You saw her nodded to the other direction.
You followed her nod and saw Jiyeon and Sohee with the other girl students trying to catch up Teen Top. “They want to give their chocolates to them.” Sohyun said. You shook your head and you sat next to Sohyun.
“I can’t wait till the class ended. I really want to give my chocolates to L.joe.” Sohyun suddenly said.
You fake a smile and started to eat as Sohyun also did.
---
Lunch break was over, you and Sohyun got separated.
You went to your class and saw L.joe tiredly rested his head on his desk.
You sat to your seat and look at him, “Tired?” you asked. He tiredly nodded and sighed.
“Um.. I guess you can go home early today since you looks really tired. I will rewrite our research paper by myself.” you said.
L.joe then straightly sat and shook his head, “No. I’ll help you.” he snapped.
“But—” you want to protest but L.joe cut you off, “No buts!” he blurted.
Suddenly, your teacher came and started the lesson.
---
As the class already ended, your teacher left the classroom. All your classmates also leaved.
Meanwhile, you and L.joe started to rewrite. Silence filled the classroom. No talking.
L.joe suddenly spoke, “Um.. Do you receive any present today?”
“Yes. I received a box of chocolates.” you replied, still focusing on what you were doing.
“Do you like it?” he asked. You nodded, “I actually love it!” you smiled as you continued rewriting.
A smile came up to his face, “I’m glad you like it!” he said. You stopped on rewriting and take a look at him.
“Wae?” he asked. “Did you know who give those chocolates to me?” you asked as you crossed your arms.
“To be honest, I’m the one who gave those chocolates to you.” he looks into your eyes with a serious face.
You frozed after you heard what he said. He’s actually confessing to yiu right now. You want to ask many questions but no words came out from your mouth.
Without saying a word, you grabbed your bag and stood up, “I need to go now.”
You were about to leave but he suddenly grabbed your wrist and make you faced him. “I know my confession is unexpected but it’s the truth. Joahe..” he whispered.
You remained silent and just stared at him. “Nomu Joahe Yoonhye-ah.. Do.. You like me too?” he asked.
You look away, “I’m sorry..” you whispered.
“Sorry for what?” he asked. “I’m sorry because.. because.. I didn’t feel the same way as you.” you replied as you bit your bittom lip.
“You’re lying! Look staightly inyo my eyes then say that you didn’t love me.” he said.
You slowly look into his eyes, “Mianhe—” L.joe didn’t let you finish your sentence but suddenly hugged you.
You were so shocked by his action, “Please stop saying that you’re sorry..” he whispered.
You could feel his heart beat. It’s beats so fast. “L.joe..” you whispered, giving him a signal to let you go.
“Let’s just stay like this for a while..” he whispered. You didn’t even protest to it and let him hug you. His hug was so warm that made you want to stop the time for that moment.
Suddenly, you heard a bit loud sound coming from the door. Both you and L.joe turned to the door only to see Sohyun dropped the box of chocolates on the floor.
You could see tears falling from her eyes as she runaway. “Sohyun-ah, wait!” you lightly pushed L.joe and run after your bestfriend.
CHAPTER 20
As you followed Sohyun, L.joe was also followed you.
You saw Sohyun run to the exit while crying. You run faster for you to catch her.
As Sohyun finally out the school, you caught her arm and spun her wround to made her face you. “Let’s talk..” you said.
“Is there still need for that?” she raised an eyebrow as her tears keeps on falling.
You didn’t want to see her tears. When she’s hurt, you feel hurt too. “Sohyun-ah.. Let me explain..” you whispered.
“No need to explain! I already saw and it already explain to me!” she said.
Sohyun was about to leave when you grabbed her arm once again but she twisted her arm that made you out of your balance.
Luckily, L.joe caught you at the right time. You were so shocked on what Sohyun did to you. You didn’t expect your bestfriend can do that.
“Yah! She almost fall on the ground, you know that?!” you heard L.joe shouted at your bestfriend.
You saw another tear fall from her eyes as she heard L.joe’s cold voice. She gave you a glared before she could completely disappeared on your sight.
You stood straight, “Sohyun-ah!” you were about to follow her again but L.joe grabbed your arm. “Let her go..” he whispered.
You spun spun around to face him. A tear started to fall from your eyes, “It’s all your fault. I don’t want you to come close to me again. Please leave me alone!” you removed his hand from your arm and walk away crying.
L.joe frozed on his spot. He couldn’t believe what you just said to him. He’s really hurt right now, *Yoonhye-ah...*

As you reach your house, you wiped your tears before you went in.
Your mom was busy watching as you entered the house. But when you were about to go upstairs, she suddenly noticed you.
“Uh.. Yoonhye-ah.. You already here.” your mom said. “Ne omma..” you replied, not even looking at her.
“Something bad happen?” she asked. You automatically look at her by her sudden question. “Eh?”
You saw your mom frowned as she walk to you, “Why your eyes are red? Did you cried?” she worriedly asked.
You shook your head, “Ani.. It’s nothing.”
Your mom want to ask you again but the door bell suddenly rang. “Wait up.” your mom said as she walks to the door to see who the visitor is on the small TV near the door.
“L.joe is here.” you heard her said. She was about to open it when you suddenly spoke, “No! Don’t let him in. If he ask where am I, tell him that I’m not home.” you said.
“But—” “Just tell him what I said.” you snapped as you went upstairs.
Your mom sighed as she open the door, “Uh.. L.joe.” she act normally.
“Is Yoonhye inside?” L.joe asked. “Uh-oh.. Mianhe but she’s still not home yet.” your mom lied.
“But I saw her enter your house. Please Ma’am, I really need to talk to her.” L.joe said.
Your mom let out a sigh, “Okay you’re rihgt she’s here but she didn’t want me to let you in. Mianhe.” your mom said.
L.joe lowered his head in sadness. “Uh-oh.. I understand.” he whispered.
“I didn’t know what’s the problem with you two but I’ll try to talk to her and convince her to talk to you.” your mom said.
L.joe look up and bowed, “Thank you ma’am.” Your mom smiled, “Now, you go home first.”
