Genre: Arranged Marriage, Fluff, High School

 

"I'm the school's nobody and I'm secretly married to the most popular guy in school"

 

"AHHHH, it's Vernon"

"VERNON!"

"He is so handsome!"

 

 

Too loud. These girls do not know what morning means. It's too early to fangirl. It's draining too much of my energy. I need to walk fast. Finally, I'm inside the room. I'm Boo Seungkwan the school's most popular guy... no actually I'm not, I'm the school nobody, I wanted to make friends and have a blast in high school but all I have is music and my loser status. Nevermind it's my last year in high school anyway and I will make sure that I'll do my best in college but not now. Not at any time soon. Wait for it SoKor I'll be your most famous musician but for now--

"Boo Seungkwan? Boo Seungkwan-ssi? Is he present? I've been calling you. That's why I told you, students, to sleep early so you'll stay attentive in class"

"Yeah, I'm sorry! Teacher!"

 

Another plain day.

 

It's lunchtime and students like me wouldn't even dare to go to the canteen to eat. I mean I don't have anyone I can eat with so I'm just going to my usual spot the fire exit staircase. I was walking to go to my usual spot when my phone vibrated. It's...

 

From: Vernon-ssi

Seungkwan, I forgot my wallet can I borrow money, I'm really hungry.

 

From: Boo Seungkwan

I don't have extra money, but I have extra food.

 

From: Vernon-ssi

Open your GPS I'll look for you.

 

 

I opened my GPS and in no time I can hear the fire exit's door opening and footsteps coming closer to me.

 

 

I am wearing the same uniform as him but I look like a potato and he looks like a model. His wavy dark brown hair covering his forehead. His eyebrows that are perfectly groomed, those sharp nose and don't forget that healthy lips he has. No wonder he is the most popular guy in school. I sound like a sissy girl describing him. But no I'm not a girl... I'm a healthy guy who happened to be...

 

"What did mom cook?"

"Kimchi rice and lots of Kimbap"

 

married to him. Yes, I'm Boo Seungkwan the school's nobody who was arranged to marry the school's most popular student Chwe Hansol.

 

"Do you always eat here?"

"It's not like I have a choice"

 

My parents and his parents are tied with a great bond. I know I'm too young to get married but Hansol's grandfather died last year and he wanted to see his only grandson get married not to anyone but me. My parents owe the Chwes so much and so they agreed on me getting married to Hansol, well I can sue them if wanted to but the Chwes basically owns me. They are the reason why I'm still alive.

 

"Why don't you just eat with me at the canteen"

"We talk about this Vernon, I don't want to be seen with you"

 

I was really sick when I was a child and my parents were about to give up on me when Hansol's grandfather suggested that I try on their new medication. It was a success story. The Chwe's hospital became really renowned and famous after that, and that can only mean a lifelong bond of the Boos and Chwes.

 

"Sometimes I don't understand you Seungkwan..."

"I don't want your fangirls coming over me just to slap me with the truth that you are beautiful and I don't deserve you"

 

And I should not leave the part that no one in our school actually knows about it. And I'm not letting anyone find out about my relationship with Hansol.

 

"Thanks for the fo--"

"Don't thank me thank my mom, I'm going now--"

 

I hate it when Hansol is like this. 

Vernon grabs Seungkwan by the wrist and pulls him closer to hug him.

I hate that no matter how beautiful his face is... his soul is even more beautiful... more than what the eye can see.

Vernon rests his head on Seungkwan's shoulder sniffing his fresh cinnamon scent.

I hate that no matter how far I run and make myself believe that I don't like him, he'll arrive early reminding me that 'No Seungkwan you already love me'

 

"Are you done?" Seungkwan asks Vernon with his diva face. "I'm going, I still have class"

 

 

 

 

 

 

He is always an inch closer to me but whenever I try to lessen that inch, I am just being slap by the truth of how much he hates me. I wanted this marriage. I wanted Seungkwan closer... closer where I can always smell his fresh cinnamon scent but he hates me.

 

"Vernon where did you go, we were looking for you. Did you eat already?"

"Your fangirls are crying that they didn't get to see you this lunch"

 

These people that only like me because of my face. Their unending praises... which I don't actually need. It becomes sickening all of the shallow appreciations. 

 

"So are you coming with us tonight Vernon, it's Friday and friyay"

"You should not ask him, you should oblige him, of course, he is going right"

"Let's see if I can go"

"Wow man, are you playing hard to get this time?"

"I'll go... if I can go"

 

That's Jun...  along with Joshua and Hoshi we the restless team. Well, we go to school every weekday and we host parties every weekend. I don't mind not going to college, I'm already earning money from modeling and DJing. Jun's family owns several bars and clubs while Hoshi's family owns restaurants. Joshua's family are into real estate while my family owns several hospitals. We are like your typical F4 dudes who basically own the world.

 

I need to ask Seungkwan's permission about the party. Although Seungkwan always allows me to go to every damn party, I still constantly ask for his permission. Even though I know that it irritates him sometimes, maybe I just want his attention.

 

"Guys looks like I can't go tonight!"

"Why Hoshi?"

"Yuju isn't allowing me"

"Did you ask her why?"

"She said she needed me tonight... you know she's been stress about school these past few days and I think she really needs me"

"Then it's okay, go fly to your girl Hosh"

 

I envy that... when will Seungkwan ever need me? Seungkwan is like a ray of sunshine in my lonely dungeon. Whenever I make him smile I think that I'm holding the world in my arms.

 

Vernon calls Seungkwan.

"Where are you?"

"On my way home"

 

He sees right through me. I wanted to be needed by him so bad. I wanted him to love me.

 

"Okay"

Vernon hung up the phone.

 

 

 

 

 

Hansol hung up the phone, he sounds different today. I wanted to ask him if he will go home early, I thought he'll ask for my permission but he did not. I started living with Hansol last month. Well, I sleep in our supposedly shared room while he sleeps in the guest room. He's rarely home and I know a piece of him sees our marriage as something so inconvenient.

I want to eat, good thing mom visited early this morning to give us some food. I opened my books and started studying... entertaining myself. There's no Hansol. No, I don't think he'll come home soon... but he didn't say anything should I call him.

I called him but it's the answering machine. Hansol where are you exactly?

 

 

 

 

 

At first, I thought I'm just being entertained by Seungkwan's unique attitude. Older people like him, he is witty and really kind hearted and his voice is like a gift from heavens. Whenever he smiles he looks like a kid and whenever he frowns he just makes me want to protect him. I started living with Seungkwan last month but I don't go home often. Sometimes the feelings are too much that I can't stop myself. I needed some air because I know he never actually wanted me. And I don't wanna wake up seeing myself forcing Seungkwan to want me so I just run away.

, I'm super drunk tonight, I failed to control my alcohol intake.

 

"Hi! Handsome"

"Hi! You're beautiful"

"So sly, so do you wanna go home with me?"

Vernon leans closer to the girl. "You're beautiful but you're not him, so get lost"

The girl slaps Vernon, "Bastard!"

 

But it's true anything and anyone can be beautiful but it's not like we will always love that... we only have one heart and that can only home one person.

 

"Joshua, I'm okay here. I can just walk myself upstairs no need to take me to my door"

"Are you sober now?"

"From that slap sure I am! But kidding aside I'm sober enough"

"Okay, then laters"

 

Seungkwan should be sleeping by now. I opened the door and about to plop myself to the sofa when... I saw Seungkwan resting on the sofa with a phone in his hands. , where did I put my phone? I crouch in front of him, taking a good look at my husband's beautiful face. Yes, he is beautiful behind those sad eyes... he is a beautiful man. No, I can't let anyone have him he is only mine. I caress his face gently.

 

"Seungkwan-ah..."

he is so adorable.

"Seungkwan wake up and go to your room"

He opened his eyes and I didn't know my face is already this close to his.

"You didn't even tell me you're going home late"

Am I hearing things right? Is he sulking?

"I..."

"Nevermind, just don't do it again"

No, you can't leave me like that.

 

Vernon gently wraps his arms around Seungkwan. Back hugging him.

 

"Do you even know how much I want you to sulk like this because of me?"

, the alcohol is making me lose my s.

"Let go of me Vernon, I'm going to my room"

"Do you even know how much I want you to call me by my name with ease and affection?"

"Ver--"

"I want you Seungkwan"

 

 

 

 

I can feel my face heating in red and my heart pumping with pink butterflies. Hansol why do you need to do this to me? Are you toying me or is it the alcohol. No, you're not supposed to want me. I'm the school's nobody and we are in a marriage that we were just forced into. I cannot look at him because I might lose myself too.

 

"Look at me Seungkwan"

 

You're illegal Hansol... then just for tonight let me break my rules.

 

 

Seungkwan turned around to look at Vernon's burning gaze. This time is perfect... perfect to dive into the pit of 'he might want me too'

Vernon cups Seungkwan's face and pulled him for a kiss. 

Seungkwan didn't reject the kiss...  because he knows that at the back of his mind he also wanted this.

Vernon's hands begin to travel into Seungkwan's body. 

Seungkwan unconsciously wraps his arms around Vernon.

Vernon smirks at Seungkwan's gesture.

The kiss was full of passion and expression of a love that has been kept hidden.

 

"Hansol"

"Boo"

"You smell like alcohol"

Well, he isn't Seungkwan without his diva remarks.

"Sorry"

"Clean yourself up"

"I understand sorry to ruin the moment"

 

Vernon is walking into the bathroom when... "If you want you can sleep in our room"

Vernon smiles and "Can I hug you?"

Seungkwan looks away, "I don't think I will mind... we are married after all"

Seungkwan tries to keep a straight face but his ears can't lie. Vernon bite his lips, and whispers to himself 'not now Hansol'

 

Seungkwan is already lying on the bed facing away from Vernon. Vernon carefully positions himself to the bed. This isn't the first time they are sleeping on one bed, well the last time was years ago without the idea of marriage. Vernon adjust himself looking at Seungkwan's back.

 

He is still an inch closer... should I?

 

"Boo... Boo, are you sleeping already?"

 

No answer.

 

Vernon was about to get over it when Seungkwan turns around and reaches for him.

 

"What now?" Seungkwan says looking at Vernon. 

Vernon spread his arms pulling and cupping Seungkwan's body into his.

 

"Goodnight, Boo"

"Goodnight, Hansol"

 

 

Waking up beside you is the best thing that happened to me.

I love your natural face. 

The dew of the night shifting to morning.

The innocence.

Or maybe I just love you for everything you are.

 

 

"Good Morning Boo"

"Do you know what time is it?"

Vernon and Seungkwan are still wrapped in each other hug. Vernon lifted his face to see the sun really high and hot.

"Did we sleep that long?"

"Not really you arrived 4 am"

"Boo"

"What Hansol?"

"Do you wanna take a bath together?" Vernon was just teasing Seungkwan but Seungkwan turned really red. Vernon panicked. "Sorry I was just kidding"

Seungkwan breaks off the hug and dashes to the bathroom. He locks the door and finally breathes. "ing Hansol, he shouldn't have said that"

 

When Seungkwan finishes taking a shower, Vernon is in the kitchen cooking their brunch with his hair dripping. 

 

"What are you cooking?"

"Just trying to cook the food your mom left for us"

"Do you need help?"

"No, I'm about to finish"

Vernon is cooking while drying his hair with a towel on his other hand. Seungkwan had the urge to help him. He steps forward tiptoeing to reach for Vernon's hair. 

Seungkwan realizes what he is doing and immediately bite his lips. Vernon smiles with satisfaction.

"Do.. don... don't do two things at the same time," Seungkwan keeps on stuttering.

"I wanted to finish cooking, I know you will feel hungry by this time"

The silence wasn't awkward... it's comfortable enough making them converse with affection.

 

"I just remember Boo when are your parents coming back?"

"They told me that they honestly don't know, your father assigned a task for them in Japan and next to Thailand, and I heard they'll be going to Hawaii also"

"Wow, so they are really expanding that much"

"Yes"

"Do.. do you have anything... you want to do today?" Vernon keeps on hesitating to ask Seungkwan.

"I just honestly wanna stay home," Seungkwan smiles warily and Vernon just nods in approval. "But... maybe we can g
