Him&I

Seoul 20XX

 

 

“You start tomorrow, right?”

Chaewon looked up from the TV and nodded back at her brother. It had been almost a month since they transferred and so far, the Jis were doing great back in their hometown.

“You got everything you need?”

“Yes, oppa.”

 Changwook sat down beside her and glanced at the movie she was watching.

“I heard you went out with eomma today.. What did you do?”

“Some shopping, eomma insisted that I get new jewelry for the school year.” She said skeptically, her brother laughed.

“Our mother is still....our mother.” 

Chaewon chuckled and nodded.

“How are you adjusting so far?”

“I’m okay, oppa. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Really? Chaewon, you tend to not go out of the house unless it’s work.” He pointed out, to which she snorted at him.

“You know, most older brothers would encourage that type of behavior.”

“I just want you to enjoy and go out with your friends. I feel like I made you work too much.” He said lightly, Chaewon shook her head.

“Oppa, that wouldn’t be a problem if my friends were here. But they’re not.” She said before standing up, Changwook paused and his brows furrowed.

“I’ll be in my room.”

“Did I say anything wrong?” Changwook murmured to himself, he noticed Hyebin standing by the doorway.

“What?” He asked as he noticed her smiling.

“Darling, you don’t force Chaewon out of her comfort zone, let her handle things on her own.”

“But I’m worried I asked her to work too early~”

“You didn’t, just let her be as she tries to maneuver on her new life here. She’ll come around.”

 

 

 “Next time I’m not letting you fix our class schedules.” Sehun hissed under his breath as they jogged towards the parking lot, Kai chuckled in amusement. 

They were both running late for their eight a.m. class and Sehun was cranky because he didn’t have time to get his usual coffee fix.

“See you at class!” Kai waved before speeding away from him, Sehun picked up his helmet and hopped on his bike.

It took them a few minutes to get to campus, Sehun chucked his keys in his pocket and  headed straight to his department’s building. He saw Kai still parking his car, and he smirked just as a girl approached his friend.

He was about to step in through the revolving doors then it hit him. The girl who had approached his friend was familiar. He his heels and walked towards the stairs again.

He watched as Jongin gave the girl a quick hug and they stepped out of the parking lot together.

“It’s her.” Sehun blurted, he studied her face and he felt his lips curl up. It was the girl who preferred girls. 

But what is she doing with him? Did she switch teams now?

Sehun couldn’t keep his eyes off her, she was dressed nicely, a pair of beige skinny slacks and an oversized blouse, her coat hung over one arm while her purse on the other.

And then she let go of Kai, and pointed towards the other building, Sehun’s brows furrowed.

Where are you going?

Kai blew her a kiss, she rolled her eyes at him before walking away. Sehun diverted his gaze as his friend reached him.

“So, we’re not late yet. Just..almost.” Kai was grinning as they entered the building.

“Sure, thanks to you.” Sehun said as they got on the escalator.

“But, that person earlier, who~” Sehun was interrupted when one of their seniors called for them. He pursed his lips and followed his friend to the lecture hall.

 

 

“No, no, I’m actually doing fine.” Chaewon assured her friend, she hadn’t spoken in Japanese in a while and it felt refreshing.

“Well, it’s my first day today. I don’t know what to make of it yet.” She said as she stepped out of the building, she had finished her first two classes and was on her way to the cafeteria.

“Friends? I don’t know anyone in this campus, except for my sister-in-law’s cousin, but he’s a player. Don’t want to hang out around him much.” She joked, and then she spotted the building.

“Hey, I’ll call you back later. I’m really hungry.”

She tucked her phone in her jean pocket and approached the building. Chaewon stepped in, her eyes roamed around the huge hall.

“Hey, we met this morning, right?” A girl approached her, Chaewon paused and smiled at her.

“Jieun?”

“Yes, wanna join our table?” The girl offered, Chaewon was about to reply when somebody suddenly tugged on her back.

“Here to grab lunch, babe?” Kai winked at her, Jieun looked at the male and she paused.

“Should I be here for another reason?” Chaewon asked dryly, Jongin laughed and simply handed her a tray.

“I’ll leave you be then.” He mused before walking away from them, Jieun nudged her as they went toward the line.

“You know Kai?”

“Kind of. Is he...popular here?” Chaewon asked, unsure, she looked for Kai and couldn’t spot him in the crowd.

“Popular? Girls would die just to be called babe by him.“

Chaewon blinked, and then she snorted.

“Are people not aware that he...he.....dates around?” She didn’t know how to say it, but Jieun laughed.

“Chaewon, who doesn’t want to date a bad boy?”

Chaewon blinked and her forehead creased.

“I don’t.”

 

 

Sehun leaned forward as he watched Kai chat with the girl from earlier, he chewed on his lower lip as he tried to make out what she was saying.

And then Kai pulled away from her, he sauntered towards his table with a small smile.

“Who was that? Your new quest?” Sehun asked coyly, Kai glanced at him and shook his head.

“There are some girls who are untouchable, Samsung.”

“Really?” Sehun was confused, was he speaking about the girl’s preference?

Or was the said girl already married? Part of the mafia?

“Chaewon is untouchable.”

Sehun grew frustrated at the other male and went back to eating.

“Hmm, what is she to me? An in-law? Yeah, an in-law.” Kai started to speak again, Sehun looked at him.

“In-law?”

“Hyebin noona married her older brother. Have you heard JGH?”

“The hotel chain?” Sehun leaned back on his seat, trying to not be too obvious about his interest with untouchable Chaewon.

“Ji Group of Hotels. That’s them. Chaewon’s the youngest child.”

“No wonder she’s untouchable to you, noona will literally kill you.”

“But really, Chaewon’s cool. Not your typical trust fund kid.”

Sehun nodded.

Of course, she’s not the typical trust fund kid. 

She got my mother so confused and I had to explain LGBTQ stuff to her.

“She’s a new student too, she’s been living in Japan for years. So, I’m trying to be a helping hand and make her feel welcome here.”

“You? A helping hand?” Sehun muttered as he took a spoonful of rice.

“She’s pretty, huh?” Kai grinned at him, Sehun paused and looked at him.

“Don’t you find her pretty? I heard she has a line of suitors waiting for her back in Tokyo.” Kai was smiling as he continued with his meal, Sehun looked up, he saw Chaewon taking her seat with a group of girls.

“Don’t even think about it, Oh Sehun.” Kai chuckled, Sehun’s eyes widened and he stared at the other male.

“W—What are you talking about?”

“I’m just saying, Chaewon won’t go for guys like you. You’re trouble.”

“I didn’t even say anything.” Sehun argued back.

“Sure, let’s pretend I don’t know you well and we could go with that.” Kai chortled at him, Sehun ignored the male and peeled his eyes away from the girl.

Hi Author bluestone!!

Chaewon is super cute..her dad on the other hand?? Is not, not even in the slightest. He is a dickhead. Like why is he so insistent on making sure that they are not together?? It is not her fault that her dad was cheating and got caught. Like how dumb is that dude..

Hi Author bluestone!!

I do not blame Chaewon for wanting nothing to do with her father..he has done a lot of bad things to her and did a lot of damage..so it makes sense!! But I am looking forward to when he gives her the ring!! Also his parents are so nice!!

Hi Author bluestone!!

I do not know who to be more afraid of Sehun or Chaewon..I do not want to anger either of them because they are really alike when the person they love is hurt by someone..but Chaewon does have a point about leaking the video about Sehun..and he is blind to it..but then again he loves her a lot so it would not matter too much..I hope she could see it like that too soon..

Hi Author bluestone!!

Well it seems Sehun is at least prepared for the backlash..but he should not involve Chaewon in his mess..he should have just come clean to the girl..
