~ Dara ~

 

When I woke up in the morning my head was pounding. I groaned. I really didn’t need a headache on top of everything else that was going to go wrong today. Jiyong was still asleep so I crept out of the bed, trying not to wake him. I headed to my bathroom for a shower. I stood under the spray, trying desperately not to cry as I thought about my father and his ‘new family’. What on earth was I going to say to this Mino guy? I sighed and got out of the shower, wrapping myself in a towel.

Silently, I tried to convince myself that this boy Mino probably won’t even want to talk to me today and that I was getting myself all worked up over nothing. It wasn’t this boy’s fault that my father married his mother and made him move here. Hell, he probably needed a friend right now because he would have just left everything and everyone he knows behind.

Walking over to the bed, I looked down at Jiyong. He looked so peaceful that I almost didn’t want to wake him up. I sat on the edge of the bed and took his hand, knowing we needed to get ready for school.

“Ji?” I whispered.

He woke up almost straight away, which was unlike him, he usually took forever to wake up in the morning.

“Hey.” He sat up and looked at me sadly.

I smiled reassuringly; he was worried about me I could tell.

“Hi,” I replied, moving onto the bed with him and pulling him back down with me.

“I’m fine. Stop stressing,” I promised, smoothing out the frown lines on his forehead.

He sighed and shook his head. “I’m here if you want to talk to me. You know that, right?” he asked, looking at me intently.

He really was just too adorable to me sometimes, I really didn't deserve it. “I know, Ji, but I’m fine. Let’s just get this over with and see what this guy says today,” I suggested, shrugging. He bent his head and kissed every inch of my face, making me giggle before he pulled away to go in the shower.

When we pulled into the school parking lot an hour later, Bom came bouncing up to the side of the car with a huge grin on her face.

She wrenched open my door. “I’m officially in love!” she announced to me proudly.

I laughed. “Really? OK, well…. congratulations,” I replied sarcastically, whilst rolling my eyes.

She laughed. “I’m serious. There’s a new guy started today, and he is hot!” She fanned her face dramatically. I stopped dead in my tracks; I bet that was him, my new stepbrother. Well that’s just perfect, now Bom’s going to be falling all over him and I’ll be forced to hang out with him. Great, just freaking great.

“New guy?” I asked quietly. Jiyong rubbed his hand down my back gently.

“Oh, heck yeah! You should see him, he’s yummy. But you’ve got Jiyong so I’ve called dibs,” she said, grinning and skipping along beside me.

“I don’t know his name yet, Hottie McTottie suits him though.” She waggled her eyebrows at me and I couldn’t help but laugh at her.

Seunghyun threw his arm around her shoulder. “You know, I’m not used to you not wanting me, Bom. I’m not sure I like this new behaviour,” he stated, giving her his flirty smile.

She sighed dreamily. “I’ll always want you, Seunghyun, there’s just some fresh meat to drool over. I guess you’ll have to work harder for my attention from now on,” she teased, winking at him as she shrugged off his arm. He actually looked genuinely shocked and a little pissed off.

“So, I need to find out everything about him, want to help me?” she asked, linking her arm through mine.

Hell no I didn’t.

“His name’s Mino,” I told her, shrugging and trying to go for the casual approach.

She laughed. “Psychic much? You’ve only just pulled up, how do you know his name’s Mino?” she asked, shaking her head, looking amused.

“He’s my stepbrother.”

She stopped walking and looked at me, shocked. “You’re kidding me,” she gasped, with wide eyes.

I shook my head. “Apparently, my father remarried, and his wife already had a son. If it is him that you saw, then he’s seventeen and his name’s Minho,” I said, shrugging as though it was no big deal.

She squealed and linked her arm through mine excitedly. “This is awesome! You can introduce me and I’ll have the advantage over the s.” She was grinning from ear to ear.

“I don’t know him. I can’t introduce you,” I replied quietly. I really didn’t want her falling all over him; I wanted to keep my distance from anything even remotely connected to my father.

“You are so damn greedy, Dara! Seriously, the hottest guy as your boyfriend, the second hottest as your brother and a very close third is your damn stepbrother?” she cried, looking at me with mock anger.

I was just about to answer when Jessica and three of her little clones came over, all of them looking at Jiyong hungrily. I couldn’t help but smile as Jiyong’s arm s around my waist.

“Hey, Jessica. Have you got my money?” I asked, grinning.

She sneered at me. “Yeah right. As if, emo girl.” She turned to Liam and smiled seductively, making his arm tighten on my waist.

“You didn’t sleep with her, did you, baby?” she purred confidently.

I heard Seunghyun groan behind me. “I can’t hear this! I’m going to my locker. Dee, if you need me today then call me, I’ll leave my cellphone ,” he said, as he walked off quickly.

“Well, baby?” Jessica asked, putting her hand on Jiyong’s arm.

He grinned and shrugged. “A gentleman never tells,” he stated, kissing the side of my head.

I laughed. “Well that doesn’t really help with the whole claiming the money thing, lover boy,” I teased, rolling my eyes.

He sighed dramatically. “Fine. Jessica, you owe Angel four thousand dollars,” he said, looking at me lovingly.

She stamped her foot on the ground and I couldn’t help but laugh. “How the hell could you do this to me?” she almost screamed at Jiyong.

“You were supposed to be with me! You can’t sleep with some little !” People were stopping to watch now as her face got redder and redder. Maybe she’d forgotten to breathe.

“Jessica, we went out like twice,” Jiyong countered, looking uncomfortable.

“I don’t care how many times we went out! I’m head cheerleader! We’re supposed to be together. You’re not supposed to be with some brown haired, grey eyed, little freak,” she screeched, waving her hand at me distastefully.

I couldn’t help but laugh. Brown haired, grey eyed, little freak? Where the heck did that come from?

“Wow, Jessica, be careful, we’ll have a pack of dogs here if your voice gets any higher,” I joked, laughing.

She turned her anger to me. “You! You stole my boyfriend! I was the secret girlfriend and you slept with my man,” she shouted, pointing at me accusingly.

Bom burst out laughing next to me. Oh no, she did not just go there!

I stepped closer to Jessica, looking at her warningly. “Yeah I did, and wow he was good. I take cash, or a cheque with a bank guarantee card, whatever’s easier for you. Oh, and Jessica, if you ever scream like that at me again I’m going to break your face. You understand?” I growled, angrily.

She flinched away from me slightly; I grabbed Jiyong’s hand and dragged him away into the school, with Bom skipping along behind me, laughing her off.

“You should have slapped her. I would love to see that,” Bom chirped happily.

CL and Nickhun came running up then. “You won the bet?” CL cried with wide eyes.

Wow, news travels fast in this school!

Jiyong laughed and kissed me, tangling his fingers into my hair. “I’d better go. It’ll give you some time to gossip about me before class,” he said, smirking at me cockily.

“I love you, Angel.” He kissed me again gently, before walking off quickly in the direction of his locker.

I stood around, filling in my friends about how we were secretly dating, and yes I had won the bet. I had my doubts as to whether I would get the money though. Bom opened her big mouth and told them that the ‘hot new guy’ was my stepbrother. I was secretly glad when the bell rang so I could escape to class. I didn’t want to keep talking about Minho. I hadn’t even met the guy yet and he was already too big a part of my life.

I made my way to English and sat in my usual seat, next to Bom. A few minutes later he came in. I knew it was him without even looking, I could tell by the way Bom gripped my arm way too tight. I glanced up and looked. He was totally hot; I could see what she was talking about. He wasn’t as tall as Jiyong or as well built. In fact, he was a little lanky, but he totally pulled it off. He had on ripped jeans and a black t-shirt with a black hoodie over the top. He had brown eyes, his brown hair was a lot longer than Jiyong’s and was messy and a little shaggy. He looked a little shy, his shoulders hunched a slightly as if he was nervous. I could definitely see the appeal he held, and so could every girl in the class who was now staring at him lustfully. I laughed; the poor kid didn’t know what he was in for. Once Jessica got her claws into him he’d be done for.

Bom nudged me with her elbow, making me look at her. She mouthed the word ‘hot’ and fanned her face, nodding excitedly, making me laugh harder. That boy really was in some big trouble.

“Class, this is my new student, Lee Mino,” Mrs Song said, smiling at him warmly. He turned to the class and smiled uncomfortably.

“Told you! Seriously hot,” Bom whispered.

Sure he was hot, but he had nothing on my Jiyong. “He’s cute,” I confirmed, nodding in agreement.

“Mino, tell us a little about yourself,” Mrs Song suggested.

He shifted uncomfortably on his feet as he looked around the class nervously. “Er….. well, I’ve just moved to Busan with my mom and stepfather. I have a little brother who’s one. And I like to skate?” he said, making it sound more like a question.

“OK, well I’m sure you’ll be very happy here. How about I pair you with someone for my class then they can show you to your next class after?” Mrs Song offered. I groaned. There was no way she would pick me, that’s the kind of thing that just happens in cheesy stories. I sank down in my seat, looking at my book, praying for a break. “Jessica, are you volunteering?” Mrs Song asked. My head snapped up and I breathed a sigh of relief. Bom cursed under her breath and put her hand back down, she was obviously volunteering too.

Minho made his way across the class to sit next to Jessica, who was busy undoing another button on her already ty shirt. He smiled at me as he walked past my desk. “Hi, Dara,” he said quietly.

“Hi, Mino,” I replied, a little shocked. How the hell did he know my name? I watched him sit next to Jessica, she immediately starting flirting her off with him, while he just seemed to be nodding politely, looking uncomfortable.

Bom looked at me with wide eyes. “I thought you didn’t know him,” she whispered, frowning at me, looking a little confused.

I shook my head. “I don’t. How the hell did he know who I was? I’ve never seen him before,” I replied.

The teacher cleared . “Right then, if we’re all done talking, how about we start the lesson?” she asked sarcastically. I grabbed my book and sunk further into my seat, trying not to look in his direction.

As soon as the bell rang I jumped out of my seat and practically ran from the room, not wanting to chance another meeting. I silently prayed over and over in my head that he wasn’t in anymore of my classes. Thankfully, the rest of the morning went past with no more run-ins with my new stepbrother.

People were talking to me a lot today; everyone was asking if Jiyong and I were an item, they wanted to know how long we’d been together. Blah, blah, blah, it was the same thing over and over and I was already bored of it.

“Hey, Angel,” Jiyong purred, grabbing me from behind as I stood in the lunch line with Bom and Nickh
