Chapter 15: Prom

Being In Love

Moonbyul was fixing her tie for the seventeenth time but quickly untied it as it didn't feel right. Her friends were all waiting for her in her living room, Yongsun being one of them, and she wanted to impress the senior. Which meant her tie had to be perfect, and though she tried them many times with no problem, her mind decided that today was the day she lost that skill.

She was on her eighteenth try when she heard a knock on her door. Not caring who the visitor was, she shouted, "Come in!"

The door opened revealing someone, and Moonbyul immediately stopped what she was doing once she looked at the mirror to see who the visitor was. She turned around to see her crush in a pink dress that tightly wrapped around her body, one of the lower sides of the dress revealing one leg, and she couldn't help but look at the "sun necklace" that hung around her neck.

Yongsun noticed Moonbyul's wandering eyes and coughed to grab the junior's attention. "You were gone for some time now and I wanted to make sure you didn't fall in the toilet or something."

Moonbyul snapped out of her trance and quickly chuckled to hide her embarrassment. "Thanks for checking on me, but I haven't fallen in the toilet, just trying to tie my tie." She then proceeded to show the senior her unfinished tie to let her know she was telling the truth.

Yongsun raised an eyebrow. "I thought you knew how to tie a tie?"

"I do, it's just I don't know how to make it look nice."

Yongsun rolled her eyes from the outrageous response. "I don't know what you mean by nice, but if you're going to be picky about it, let me do it then." Yongsun then walked up to the junior, whose suit was also pink.

Moonbyul was about to protest but quickly shut when the senior got close enough and held onto the tie. She couldn't help but be mesmerized as she the senior tie it. Once Yongsun was satisfied with her work, she tucked the tie into her suit and patted her chest.

"There, now let's go downstairs."

"Wait!"

Yongsun was about to leave, but Moonbyul held onto her waist, which stopped her from doing so. Yongsun couldn't help but blush from the sudden action as she was quickly turned to face the silver-haired junior who she had a huge crush on.

Moonbyul realized her action and quickly let go of her as if she was burned her.

"I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean to." Moonbyul spluttered as she tried to look anywhere but the blonde in front of her.

"I-it's all right," Yongsun said, hoping those words were enough to calm the girl.

It seemed to have done so as a few minutes after she said it, Moonbyul sighed and looked at her like the girl had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk to you."

"Moonbyul I told you it's alright. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have said anything and just leave."

"I know, but I wanted to make sure and apologize again."

Yongsun sighed. "Okay, but what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"I was wondering if we could talk about what I was trying to say at the park, as I- "

Before Moonbyul could finish, the door to her room was slammed open, scaring the duo inside the room.

"Why are you guys taking so long!?! Are you two making out or something?!?" Wheein shouted.

"Wheein!" Screamed the Moonsun duo in unison.

"Sorry too soon?"

"Oh my- let's just go to the party already," Yongsun exclaimed and walked off red as a tomato from embarrassment.

Wheein stared at Yongsun as she walked off and looked at Moonbyul once the girl left. "Did I interrupt something?"

Moonbyul facepalmed and sighed with defeat as she answered, "No."
 



Once the four girls entered the school, all the girls lit up in astonishment. There were many people on the dancefloor as expected and a few tables with many delicious-looking foods that Wheein and Hyejin couldn't stop looking at and knew this is where they split ways for now.

"You two have some fun, me and Wheein have some food devour!" Hyejin said as she pulled Wheein by her arm.

Wheein looked at Moonbyul for her reaction and all the girl did was give her a thumbs up. Wheein couldn't stop her eyes from rolling as it was such a Moonbyul reaction and yet she expected to get something else.

"Okay, but save some for the rest of us," Yongsun said.

"Can't keep any promises!" Wheein exclaimed and then the sophomores disappeared, leaving Moonbyul and Yongsun alone together.

Yongsun sighed from the answer, though she did know it was coming. She felt a tapping on her shoulder and so she looked at the person was doing so which turned out to be Moonbyul.

"Now about what I wanted to say at my house before I was interrupt-,"

"Hey, guys!" Seulgi screamed as she slung her arms around Moonbyul and Yongsun's shoulder.

Moonbyul groaned from yet another interruption. It was as if the world was telling her it was not the right time.

"What? Did I interrupt an important moment?"

"As a matter of fact you did, but it's fine. Who're you with?" Moonbyul tried to hide her anger, but she was failing miserably.

Seulgi tried to ignore it. "I'm with Wendy and Irene over there." Seulgi then pointed at a spot where the two girls she mentioned were dancing.

"Why don't you go back and join them."

"Wow, already want to get rid of me I see and I was before until I saw you two and wanted to say hi. But I know when I'm not wanted." Seulgi started to walk away from the two and made sure to show them her pout face. "If you need me, you know where to find me."

Yongsun slapped Moonbyul's arm and the junior couldn't help but sigh as she was clearly in the wrong. Yes, she was frustrated, but she didn't need to take it out on Seulgi as she was doing what any friend would do if they saw their friend.

"Wait, Seulgi. I'm sorry, okay, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Can we both just hang out with you guys?"

Seulgi perked. "That's okay and for sure, follow me.

Seulgi then dragged the two towards Irene and Wendy, who noticed them and immediately pulled the three into a group hug.

"Hey, guys!" Wendy yelled excitedly.

"Where are the kids?" Irene asked.

"Food table," Moonsun said at the same time.

"Should have known. Now come dance with us!" Wendy yelled.

Moonbyul and Yongsun rolled their eyes playfully and joined in on the fun. Wheein and Hyejin soon found the two and joined in on the fun and then cringed when Moonbyul and Yongsun danced like a couple of old people at one point.

Moonbyul noticed something different between the two kids when they came to them. Many, if not, everyone knew the two were close, but the two's closeness seemed very strong at the moment and Moonbyul had a sneaking suspicion about what it was. Moonbyul confirmed those suspensions when she told Wheein there was something on her cheek as a joke and the girl looked so surprised and quickly tried to clean off the nonexistent stain. Hyejin noticed and laughed. Moonbyul felt nothing but happiness for the two and couldn't wait to hear when they give her and Yongsun the news.

A few minutes later, Sandeul and Minhyuk found the group and started walking to them.

"Yo, what is up!" Sandeul yelled.

"What's up Sandy!" Moonbyul said jokingly.

"See ya!"

"No Sandy come back! I was only joking."

"Are you drunk?" Minhyuk asked, genuinely concerned for his friend as she was below the drinking age.

"No, unless you can get drunk from having a good time, then I really am and may overdose."

"Ugh, you such a cringe Byul!" Yongsun yelled as she slapped the junior's arm.

"And you love it." The junior said and gave a toothy grin.

"And I question myself every time if I hit my head because of it."

Moonbyul's smile grew even more from Yongsun's response as the girl would have usually deny it and slap her again. It made her feel happy that her feelings were finally being reciprocated properly and gave her the confidence she needed for later when she asked the girl out. Today was a good day and nothing could really ruin it.

The song playing soon ended, but
another one was not played as the sound of a mic was heard instead. Everyone looked at each other confused and looked at the stage. On the stage stood the principal of the school, Mr. Coleman.

"Hello, students. Sorry for stopping the party, but I just want to announce the prom king and queen. After that, you guys can go back to partying."

Once Mr. Coleman finished, everyone cheered ready to see who the prom king and queen of the year was and Mr. Coleman went and opened the envelope and waited to speak again once the crowd died down.

"Now let's start with the queen, shall we? The prom queen this year won by a landslide and that crown belongs to no one other than... KIM YONGSUN!"

Everyone cheered and Yongsun stood there frozen as she was being pushed to the front. She didn't expect to win at all, but of course, her winning had to be from Moonbyul's doing. And of course, she was right as Moonbyul got many seniors she knew to vote for Yongsun, which was a lot. It also didn't take much convincing to do so as they knew Moonbyul has done things with good intentions, so this couldn't be any different.

Yongsun went up the stairs of the stage to claim her crown and Mr. Coleman placed the crown on her. Once the crown was properly placed, he went back to speak in the mic.

"Now I will announce the prom king."

Mr. Coleman looked at the piece of paper one more time before he went to speak once more.

"The young man, claiming the crown as prom king is... none other than ERIC NAM!"

Everyone cheered as Eric went up on the stage to claim his crown. As he was, Minhyuk nudged Moonbyul.

"So you got everyone to vote for Yongsun, but not me?"

"If I did, then people would suspect that I'm trying to make you guys an item or something and I can't have that."

"So you decided to make Yongsun be prom queen?"

"I mean she would win even if I didn't get everyone to do so since she's really beautiful... and then there's you."

"Yah!" Minhyuk yelled as he hit Moonbyul's arm, gently as he didn't want to actually hurt the girl.

"Now I want the prom king and queen to go and dance in the middle, after that the music will resume and you can all go back to partying. Thank you, everyone, for your patience, have a good night." Mr. Coleman then walked off the stage with Eric and Yongsun following behind him.

"Look, now some random dude is dancing with Yongsun."

"Oh shoot I didn't know the prom king and queen dance together, I just wanted her to win." Moonbyul started panicking, but after some thinking, she calmed herself down. "It's fine, it's not like Yongsun will fall for the guy instantly."

"Maybe not fall for him instantly, but probably get close enough as she seemed to be laughing at something he just said."

"What?" Moonbyul quickly looked at the pair and in fact, Yongsun was laughing. She felt many emotions all at once and didn't know what they were, but she knew one emotion clearly and it was jealousy. She tried to calm herself down.

"I mean I laugh at your jokes too sometimes, but you don't see me falling for you."

"That's fair, but she looks happy being around him. Also, I think she's smiling the way I usually see her smile when she looks at you."

"Who's side are you on?"

"Hey, I'm just stating things."

Moonbyul mentally cursed at herself as it seemed like she jinxed herself. Her mood turned sour and she couldn't look at the duo anymore. She needed fresh air. She walked out the doors and ignored all the questions her friends tried to throw at her and was glad they didn't follow cause she didn't want to let her frustration out on someone.

She never had been jealous before, not even when Minji was with other guys. Was she feeling this because of Minji, did Minji really mess her up this much that she would get jealous if her crush, HER CRUSH, was with another guy? Or was this because she actually was in love with Yongsun? If that was the case, then she really hated this aspect of being in love.
 

 

 


Happy Valentine's Everybody :D Also If you haven't already, go listen to Moonbyul's song, Eclipse since it's nothing but a bop.
