Mission
Alice Turns Into Little Red Riding Hood [REVAMPED]Chapter 5
“Alright, class. I want you to make groups of three, and then proceed to go to the stations I’ve prepared for today’s experiment,”
Sehun groaned as soon as the teacher made the announcement. Not another group project. Walking over to his favored spot with Jongin, the two sat down and watched as students swarmed everywhere. Sehun squinted his eyes when he caught you walking to the back of the lab together with two other students, seeing that you’ve grouped up with other people. Pouting, Sehun slouched in his chair and looked away to the window. Jongin, on the other hand, was busy talking with some girls about joining their group.
“Sorry, girls. I’m already with Sehun,” Jongin told the girls with a charming, yet apologetic smile.
The girls sitting behind them immediately whined. “But, Jongin, we—“
“Don’t you have eyes? Jongin’s already with me,” Sehun butted in this time, turning around to shoot them a pointed look.
The girls immediately shut their lips tight, sharing awkward glances before sitting back down into their own stations. Jongin sighed, shifting his gaze to a seemingly upset looking Sehun. Jongin lifted a brow and traced Sehun’s eyes, widening his eyes in amusement when he saw who he was staring at.
“I heard about what happened with her,” Jongin blurted.
Sehun glanced at him. “How did you know?”
“I overheard the girls,” he sighed softly, shaking his head at how distasteful it is. “People can be really mean, huh?”
“I’m worried about her,” Sehun said frankly. “She doesn’t even know who’s her ally,”
“What do you mean?”
“The girl on her left doesn’t like her,” Sehun explained. “I overheard her badmouthing Alice with the girls who bullied her last time. And yet, she’s sitting with her right now,”
“You’re worried that she’s plotting something?”
Sehun seemed to hesitate at first, but he eventually nodded. “She might act smart, but she’s dull at times,” he murmured almost affectionately. “And thanks to those girls, I can’t keep her near me.”
Jongin almost got goosebumps listening to him, staring at Sehun with disbelief. He blinked a few times, making sure that the softness he’s currently seeing in Sehun’s eyes weren’t his imaginations.
“Screw it. I’m moving her here.”
Silently, Jongin watched as Sehun tries to coax get you to move over to their group, and Jongin has to say, it’s pretty entertaining to watch. He’s never seen Sehun this worked up for other people, and it’s almost refreshing, yet odd to see. After bickering with one another, you finally moved to their group, and just when the boys thought that they could relax, their ears picked up something.
“Just when things are going well…”
“Ye In didn’t even try to keep her at the back,”
“Why would Sehun want her to sit with them? This is all wrong.”
“We’ll have to come up with a new plan.”
Jongin and Sehun glanced at each other, but both of them kept their act well, continuing to keep you preoccupied so that you won’t notice the stares. After the teacher’s explanation, the three of you started with the experiment. Sehun got a little too caught in the moment and chatted with you, but Jongin was still all ears.
“Are you sure?”
“You don’t have to use it, just scare her with it,”
“We can use it, though. Just pour some on her feet or hands. That’ll scare her,”
“Just don’t get it on her face. Otherwise, it’ll be too obvious.”
Jongin nudged on Sehun’s elbow and nodded to the back, and Sehun finally remembered to focus. After listening to the last bit of the girls’ conversation, Sehun moved to sit beside her just in case, taking a protective stance. The three of you continued with class, and it was all swell. Until, both Jongin and Sehun heard the girls behind them make their cue after you left to the bathroom.
“I’m on it.”
