Chapter 9
Deals and Promises
Since the new couple began ‘dating’, Alexa will not be seen alone. Never. It isn’t her choice but she was always followed around by her so-called boyfriend or even the whole gang of Block B. Although she can’t deny that it was fun being with his company, Zico’s teasing got worse. He got annoying even more, but at the end of the day, she will always be treated like a real girlfriend and not just a trophy.
Zico would spend time hanging out with her, making sure that the two of them had fun, drags her whenever he had some errands to do, anything would be always out of the blue. Their relationship was not even kept a secret anymore, even her own father was very supportive of them. Despite that Sunyoung just hated her even more. Zico even considered Eunmi as an additional to the group as well, and he already accepted that she will always be around Alexa. Plus the fact that one of his friend, is getting in love with her, Eunmi really had to be with them.
“It seemed like we’re not going to have our next class~ Ms. Kwon is said to be sick and can’t make it to class today!” P.O. said excitedly, jumping up and down like a 5-year old kid.
They were still having lunch by that time, and then became so energetic upon hearing the news of their ‘extended lunch’.
“So it means we have free time?! Let’s go to the gym and play!! I have a shuttlecock, who wants to play badminton with me?” Jaehyo grinned and showed the item to everyone on the table.
“Me wants!” Alexa eagerly agreed and even raised her hands while happily munching on her dessert. Zico suddenly frowned and got the sweet treat from her hands. “You desperately need my attention, huh?” she burst out in anger as Zico kept on taking the food higher so she won’t be able to reach for it.
“You said you play badminton? Try to defeat Jaehyo and I’ll give this back to you. I’ll even buy you another one.” His girlfriend was still trying to jump and down to reach for her food.
“Is that a dare? Challenge accepted.” She stepped on Zico’s foot, causing him to groan and bend down to caress his pained foot. She also got her treat back and followed the rest of the group towards the gym.
It was a tight competition between Alexa and Jaehyo. Neither of them wanted to lose, not because there was a bet at stake but it was really the pleasure of winning. It was already the deciding game and either of them had the chance to win with only one point left.
It was Jaehyo’s turn to serve and it should be a big advantage for him but then again, Alexa was the only person who challenged him well. Soon enough, the shuttlecock was already on Alexa’s side of the court and she did not think twice and smashed it, successfully making it land on Jaehyo’s court.
The smash was a great moment to celebrate for her win but her feet did not cooperate with her well. She landed badly and her ankle twisted, spraining her foot and making her fall on the floor. She can’t even move her feet anymore and even needed help just to stretch her whole leg. Everyone who saw the scene came running for help, especially her boyfriend.
“Alexa! Are you okay?” P.O. asked you.
“I can manage.” Alexa lied but it hurt her more when she put pressure on her foot. Suddenly, she felt arms slithering her waist and legs, lifting her whole weight up. “Jaehyo, you don’t have to do this! I’m alright. Just put me down.” Alexa protested but Jaehyo did not even spare her a glance.
“She’s right, you don’t have to do this. I’m her boyfriend so let me take care of her.” Zico butted in and just then Jaehyo complied by giving her to Zico. The blonde boy smiled and turned around to take his girlfriend to the clinic. “I never thought you were so light.”
“I’m okay Zico. You can just put me down.”
“You can’t even stretch your legs, your foot is so swollen, and you are saying you’re okay?” Zico huffed and looked at her. She gulped not because she was caught lying but because of the proximity between their faces. “Why are you blushing?” he suddenly chuckled.
“Nothing.” She avoided his eyes while he did nothing and stared at her face. “This is getting embarrassing…everyone’s staring at us.” She whispered as she actually tried to hide her face on the crook of his neck.
“Let them stare.” Zico chuckled and in just a few more steps, they finally reached the clinic. Unfortunately, not even the nurse was there. Zico sighed and just grabbed some ice pack from the freezer an
