Regardless of who's looking, they just walk with a joy. They hardly care and just enjoy their moment with each other. Both of them were so happy

 

with their decision on going for the trip especially with the fact that they are holding hands for the first time during the day.

 

 

“ What to worry about ... “ She sounds unsure.

 

 

“ Y-Yeah .. ha-ha .. “ He looks the same, hiding his nervousness under his false laughter.

 

 

 

Just then Soojung gently swatted her hand from his grip made Minho to abruptly stop on his track. He then become more restless when he saw

 

his girlfriend were currently wiping her tears.

 

 

 

“ W-what's wrong ? Are you sick ? Or did I say something ? “ He asked while looking at her worriedly.

 

 

“ Hehe .. no, not that. I'm just ... to happy that we finally make it. “

 

 

* God ! She's so cute ! *

 

 

He didn't say more and just pulled her into his embraced, her back to comfort her.

 

 

“ Me too Honey. “

 

 

But then, * HONNNKK !!! *

 

 

Both of them were definitely shocked with the honking sound from the car that almost hit them just now and immediately moved away from

 

the place they were standing, still hugging with each other.

 

 

 

“ AISH ! “

 

 

“ It's dangerous ! Don't you guys want to live anymore ?! “

 

 

 

The kids from inside the car shouted at them angrily while both of them just gave their unsatisfied glares but their eyes soon widened in more

 

shocked when they happened to saw the two adults that was sitting at the front seat.

 

 

“ Mr Jinki ? “

 

 

“ Ms Victoria ? “

 

 

“ You guys are too loud ! “

 

That was the last thing that they heard from the kids before the car passed by them.

 

 

“ I can't believe this ! “

 

 

“ Both of them are ... “

 

 

“ Husband and wife ?!! “

 

 

They happened to looked at each other with their jaw dropped for a moment until Minho broke the gaze.

 

 

“ No ! It can't be ! It was an illusion ! “

 

 

“ Y-Yeah .. just an illusion. Like what you said ! “

 

 

“ Come on. Let's just forget everything. Today is our anniversary. We shouldn't let other things to bother us. “

 

Minho offered his hand and Soojung gladly took it.

 

 

 

 

 

___________

 

 

 

 

 

 

Night, Hot Springs

 

 

 

 

“ See, I told ya. It only took an hour to reach here from our hotel. “

 

 

“ Hehe .. I'll meet you after one hour then. “

 

 

“ Arasso. “

 

 

 

Both of them bid a goodbye before separately took their hot bath, with Minho at a different place and Soojung at the other side of his place.

 

 

 

 

Soojung can't help but to feel nervous when she had Minho in her minds.

 

 

 

* Aish .. why did suddenly I felt so nervous with him ? *

 

 

“ Just calm yourself down Soojung ... everything is gonna be alright. “

 

 

 

Just when she thought she can put her mind in peace, a little girl suddenly showed up in front of her out of nowhere.

 

 

“ Eh ? “

 

 

Both of them stared at each other weirdly before she realized that she had seen the girl before.

 

 

“ You guys are too loud ! “

 

 

 

* It's her. From earlier .. the one who shouted at me and Minho oppa before with her brother. *

 

 

“ Umma, this is the couple that wanna die just now. “

 

That little girl suddenly shouted while pointing at Soojung in excitement.

 

 

“ Yah ! Shhh ... “

 

She can't even make the girl to shut when suddenly a figure that she known so well appears from behind the big rock that was placed

 

in the pool.

 

 

“ Sora, no shouting inside the hot spring. “

 

 

“ Eh ?! Umma .. she was just here. But she's gone. “

 

 

“ Who ? “

 

 

“ That ajumma. “

 

 

“ Hmm .. just, come on. Your appa must be waiting for us. “

 

 

The older one took her child off the pool and making their way out of the hot spring while Soojung took the opportunity to swam away from their

 

sight as soon as possible.

 

 

* I can't believe this .. she called me ajumma ?! *

 

 

 

 

________

 

 

 

 

 

“ What took you so long Soojung ? “

 

 

Minho asked once he spotted Soojung heading her way towards him.

 

 

“ Oppa, they didn't see you right ? “

 

She asked anxiously while blocking Minho with both of her hands at his sides.

 

 

“ What ? Who ? “

 

 

And just when she was about to tell him what just she saw, “ Today is our anniversary. We shouldn't let other things to bother us. “

 

 

* No ! I can't tell him. I can't ruin our day. *

 

 

“ What's wrong Soojung ? “

 

 

“ Err .. No-nothing oppa .. hehe ... “

 

 

She let out a nervous laughter which only made Minho to become even more curious so he quickly changed their position with him blocking her

 

right now.

 

 

 

“ Honey, what's wrong ? You look .. uncomfortable ? “

 

 

 

* Thump .. Thump ... *

 

 

 

“ O-oppa .. I .. I .. err .. Huh ?! “

 

 

Her eyes wasn't on his anymore instead it was locked to someone else, someone that was really familiar.

 

 

 

* KYAHH !! *

 

 

She screamed in her minds when she saw the principals of Quartz Boys' High School, Mr Lee Jinki, heading his way towards her with his son.

 

She can't think of anything else to cover herself and Minho up aside from taking a drastic decision by pulling Minho towards her before

 

aggressively kissing his lips, with her eyes still fixed at the Mr principle.

 

 

 

“ Tsk ... how dare them do it in front of my son ?!! “

 

 

He cursed under his breath before quickly took his son away from those unpleasant sight in front of him and not before he gave a fierce glare

 

to them.

 

 

 

Soojung abruptly pushed Minho away off her while keeping her eyes on Mr Jinki, trying to make sure that he leaved from that place.

 

 

 

“ Soo .. soojung .. is it because you're uncomfortable or you 're just aggressive ? “

 

Minho asked in his shaken voice, too shocked with Soojung's action just now and he's still oblivious about Mr Jinki's appearance just now.

 

 

Soojung didn't utter any other words and just grab Minho by the wrist before dragged him with her.

 

 

“ Hurry up ! Let's go to our room. “

 

 

“ Errk .. so aggressive !! “

 

He almost stumbled on his track for couple of time because of Soojung.

 

 

 

 

______

 

 

 

 

 

Room

 

 

 

 

* Suddenly I remembered reading my horoscope for today ... it predicted that today are going to be my bad day ... *

 

 

Minho just watched Soojung walked back and forth since they entered their room.

 

 

* It's a waste of time planning on this vacation when nothing goes right for me .. for us ... *

 

 

 

“ Soojung ... “

 

 

She didn't listened, so he just pulled her for a back hug.

 

 

“ I'm worried. You looked restless. “

 

 

“ Oppa .. “

 

 

* Think happiness .. I must enjoy my day with oppa .. Don't think about the principles anymore .. *

 

 

 

“ Ha-ha .. I'm fine !! “

 

 

She once again made him to surprised with her action but this time, with her sudden bear hug which unfortunately making Minho to lose his

 

balance and end up fell down on the floor, with Soojung on top of him.

 

 

 

Minho's glasses happened to thrown away from the big blow and his bath rob seems to lose slightly, but fortunately, he still have his singlet on

 

but that doesn't stop Soojung from drooling when her eyes captured his nicely build biceps.

 

 

 

“ Ooo .. are you working up oppa ? “

 

She poked his biceps repeatedly causing Minho to chuckled at her silliness.

 

 

“ Eung ... Yah .. stop poking my hand and just get up from my body. “

 

Minho tried to pushed her away but she just choose to be annoying in front of him and didn't bother at all to get on her feet.

 

 

“ Fine. Be that way but don't blame me for what I'm gonna do after this ... “

 

He shot a mischievous smiles which only cause Soojung to become flustered.

 

 

 

 

She can't even let out a word from when her body already being pulled closer towards his. There's only few centimeters of gap in

 

between her face and his, well at least that is what she's calculated, and that only making her heart to beat even more rapidly.

 

 

 

“ Honey ... “

 

He brushes his fingers on her already flushed face while keeping his eyes on her', “ I .. “

 

 

 

* Knock .. Knock .. *

 

 

“ Huh?! “

 

 

 

Both of them in unison turned to the sound that coming from their sliding door and only to cause them to shrieked when they saw those two kids

 

were there looking at them from the outside.

 

 

 

 

Well, actually, it's Soojung who's screamed like a maniac while Minho also shrieked but it was only because he was startled by Soojung high

 

pitched voice. Unfortunately, he didn't know what's making Soojung to screamed since he don't have his glasses on but he did saw something at

 

outside of their room, it just it was quite blur in his eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

Soojung then quickly pushed his body away before dashed towards the sliding door and immediately blocked the kids' view by closing the curtain.

 

 

 

“ W-what .. what was that ? “

 

Minho asked while trying to looking for his glasses that is nowhere to be found.

 

 

 

* The situation is getting out of control .. what I should do ? *

 

 

 

She was once again walking back and forth and Minho happened to saw that since he already put his glasses on.

 

 

 

“ Soojung .. I'm asking you .. “

 

She was so into her thought that she hardly hear Minho's voice calling for her name.

 

 

“ Hey .. what's wrong ? “

 

 

Minho don't have any other choice but to stop her from walking by holding onto her hand but was welcomed with a surprise when suddenly

 

Soojung shouted at him, annoyingly.

 

 

“ Can you please be quite ??!! Just shut up for a while ok ??! “

 

 

 

She didn't know that she had crossed the line and only realized it when she saw the changes in Minho's expression. He was definitely stunned

 

looking at her.

 

 

* Oh My God !! I just ... *

 

 

He can't help but to felt hurt with Soojung's words.

 

He wasn't a guy that will take this thing seriously but tonight he didn't know why he felt like his heart tightened with her words.  

 

 

 

“ O-Oppa .. I didn't mean to .. “

 

 

 

* Oh God ! This is not what supposed to happened !! *

 

 

“ I'm going out ... “

 

Said Minho before made his steps towards the door but was immediately stopped by Soojung.

 

 

“ Andwae .. you can't go .. I'm .. “

 

 

“ What's wrong with you ? Why did you acted this way ?! “

 

 

 

Soojung just frozen looking at Minho when he uttered those. He looked tensed and it shows.

 

How she wish she can tell him what's been bothering her but she don't want him to be bothered by thinking about her problem later. She don't

 

want that. She just want them to enjoy the vacation but it seems like she had ruined it.

 

 

 

“ Just tell me you problem for God sake ... don't make me get worried over you again and again ... “

 

 

 

He was again disappointed when she just choose to stood there without making any effort to say a word to him.

 

He didn't wait longer and just stepped out of the room leaving Soojung in dumbfounded for a few seconds before she back to the realization and

 

ran after him. 

 

 

 

“ Oppa .. wait ! “

 

He did stops but not because of her, “ Op .. huh ? “

 

 

And she also have the same expression as him once she realized her surrounding.

 

 

“ You two .. What are you doing here ? “

 

 

 

 

Her mind went blank once she caught the figures of the two principals right in front of her eyes. Her hands started to sweats, heart raced rapidly

 

and not to mention that her body started to felt the chills all over it. Soojung become a lot more nervous with the stares that she got from the two

 

adult. She tried to clear the lump in , trying to let any words to come out from it but nothing seems to working out for her.

 

 

 

 

“ Mr Principal, are you on vacation ? “

 

 

Minho's voice surprisingly caught Soojung's attention who's at the moment still battling with her nervousness. He seems a lot calmer to face this

 

situation which once again made her in surprised but at the same time worried for what might befall them. She examined his face and there's a

 

glimpse of assurance from him when he gave his glance.

 

 

 

 

* Minho oppa .. He's not going to .. *

 

 

“ Soojung-ah, If our secret was exposed, I'll definitely defend our love for you .. so, don't worry .. “

 

 

His words keep on repeating in her minds.

 

 

 

* This is it .. we can't hide it anymore. *

 

 

She turned to looked at Minho who's still smiling looking at the principals.

 

 

 

* Minho oppa .. I'm not worry if you're here with me ... *

 

 

 

“ What a coincidence ? I was on my vacation too ... “

 

He flashed a smiled at Soojung which somehow made her heart felt at ease.

 

 

“ But she asked me to share a room with her. “

 

 

 

* WHAAATTTT !!!!! *

 

 

 

She was jaw dropped and it was no other than because of what she hears coming out from Minho's mouth. She can't believe it and she don't want

 

to believe it. It was absolutely opposite to what she had in her minds earlier, expecting her boyfriend to defend their love. But to think of him to

 

put the blame on her was definitely not and never crossed in her minds.

 

 

 

 

* I can't believe him .. How .. how could he ? *

 

 

“ Soojung, it this true ? “

 

 

* I was betrayed ... *

 

 

“ Moreover, we're actually a step-siblings .. I'm saying the truth. So, please don't misunderstood our situation. “

 

 

* STEP-SIBLINGS ??!!! HE CAN'T ... *

 

 

 

 

Minho was overdoing it and it was only made her heart to hurt even more, as if it was being stabbed by a sharp knife. She still can't believe that

 

Choi Minho, the guy that she thought she had know well, the guy that she thought can always be depend on had betrayed her feelings for

 

his own good.

 

 

 

 

“ You can always depend on me ... “

 

 

“ Soojung ? “

 

Ms Victoria asked her once again and finally made her to open up .  

 

 

“ Y-yes ... it's true. “

 

 

“ Actually, this is a family vacation but our parents are still not here yet .. “

 

 

* Stop it Choi Minho ! You said enough ! *

 

 

* Minho oppa .. I never see this side of you .. You seems like a stranger to me now ... *

 

 

“ Alright then, we'll be going now. Send my regards to your parents Minho. “ 

 

 

 

 

 

Soojung's POV

 

 

 

Even if he suddenly got the idea to cheat, it was only making it worsen. The lies is getting bigger and bigger and it somehow made me feels

 

suffocated inside.

 

 

 

“ Did you knew this all along ? Why didn't you ... “

 

 

Can't he see ? I'm hurts because of him.

 

 

 

“ S-Soojung .. ? “

 

 

I can't hold it anymore and just let my tears to fall down.

 

 

 

“ Soojung .. honey ... what's wrong ? “

 

 

 

I can't stand him anymore, I can't even looked at him anymore. This is not my Choi Minho. He's not acting like my Choi Minho.

 

 

 

 

________

 

 

 

 

 

“ Why did you change your cloth ? “

 

 

 

How can he still be calm at time like this ? I'm sure he saw that I'm crying right now.

 

 

 

“ I'm going back. “

 

 

“ But .. why ? “

 

 

“ I can't stand this anymore. You had gone too far. You shouldn't said that if you do want to cover us up. You're only making things worse

 

than before. “

 

 

“ I wasn't said it on purpose. It suddenly slipped from my mouth. But, at least .. we are safe right ? “

 

 

“ You .. It's that all that you can think right now ? Did you think I care of whether we are safe or not ? Did you think I care of what might the

 

principals think of us after this ? “

 

 

“ What's with the sudden yelling Soojung ? What did I do wrong ? “

 

 

“ Ani .. you did great. “

 

 

“ Huh ? “

 

 

“ You've done a great job by hurting my feelings. I'm hurt with the fact that you didn't defend our love .. just like what you had promised me. “

 

 

“ Soojung .. I'm .. the principals .. “

 

 

“ Are they really that matter to you ? Oppa .. you had .. disappoints me .. badly .. “

 

 

“ Soojung .. please hear me first .. “

 

 

“ I heard enough oppa .. you said enough earlier .. I think .. it's better for us ... to split. “

 

 

 

 

This is the worse love's anniversary in the history. I'm not his priority anymore. In his minds are only the principals' perception and his reputation.

 

If I had drowned in the river along with the principals, I'm sure he will save the head without hesitation. I'm 100% sure !

 

But, if you're asking me .. I'll definitely save him.

 

 

 

 

 

________

 

 

 

 

 

 

“ Your eyes is red. Seems like a broken heart to me. I wonder who could that be .. ? “

 

 

And in just a seconds, Jinri received an icy more like a death glare from me.

 

 

“ Hehe .. chill .. I was joking Soojungie. “

 

 

I just turned away and heaved a big sighed and I can see the confusion in Jinri's eyes.

 

I will always had something to say when she teased me but today, I'm definitely not myself since I just choose to let it slide.

 

 

 

“ I'm going. “

 

 

“ O-ok. Bye. “

 

 

 

 

 

_________

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a broken hearted. Jinri is right about that.

 

Maybe, he never love me with all of his heart since the beginning, or he never love me at all. Maybe, he will never come to my side ever again,

 

even if a million tears had drops from my eyes and it was all because he will always bounded with his reputation. Maybe, my decision is right.

 

I might only had been a burden to him after all this while.

 

I'm leaved him for good.

 

 

 

 

“ Soojung ! “

 

 

* Come on Jung Soojung ! You said you're going to leave me for good ! Why can't you get him out of your head ?! *

 

 

“ Soojung ! Where are you ? “

 

 

* Wait ! That's sounds real. *

 

 

 

 

Slowly, I turned to my back and only to made my eyes widened in surprised when I saw him, Choi Minho, here in my school, running like a lost

 

puppy at the corridor while shouting my name.

 

 

 

 

“ Soojung ! “

 

 

 

“ Op-Oppa .. “

 

 

 

 

I can feel that both of us are the center of attention right now when one by one of the student started to made a way for him to lead his way

 

towards me.

 

 

 

 

“ You had disappoints me to Soojung. I can't believe that you had only a little of faith in our love. “

 

 

 

“ KYAAH ! “

 

 

 

 

I was shocked and scared at the same time when he lifted me up to his shoulder. Some of the student were gasped and some of it even

 

captured our moment by their phone.

 

 

 

 

“ Wait ! Oppa ! What are you doing ? “

 

I asked still struggling to let myself free which obviously was a waste of energy since this Choi Minho is definitely a strong guy. 

 

 

 

 

He put me down after that when I gave a punch on his back but instead of just let me go, he choose to held me in place by pinned me at the wall

 

with both of his hands blocking either side of me.

 

 

 

“ I'm here to prove my love for you. “

 

 

“ Minho oppa .. we are.. at .. “

 

 

“ You should be quiet for a moment ... “

 

 

“ Really oppa .. I'm happy but .. we're right now at the ... “

 

 

“ It's alright. “

 

 

And with that he pulled me into his embraced.

 

 

“ I'm here to defend our love. “

 

 

 

 

End Of Soojung's POV

 

 

 

 

 

 

The secret is finally revealed as it cannot be kept anymore.

 

The school's rules has change, not just because of Soojung and Minho's secret relationship, but it was also cause by Mr Jinki and Ms Victoria's

 

secret marriage which they happened to revealed it by themselves once they heard Minho and Soojung's love confession.

 

Well, add with the supports from the students who most of them were in a secret relationship too and it was all because of the rules.

 

 

 

 

So maybe Sunyoung is right,

 

“ Forbidden love seems too beautiful and romantic. Such love revolves on the obstacles to be encountered by the lovers. “

 

 

“ Ok. I know .. how many time you have to repeat that to me ? “

 

 

“ I don't know. It just felt right to say whenever I saw Minho oppa and Soojung together. “

 

 

“ I think the most right thing to do is to feed your boyfriend with that kimbap. If you noticed, my stomach started to play some weird song

 

right now. “

 

 

“ Hehe .. alright. Say aaaah !! “

 

 

“ Aaaah !! “

 

 

“ Aigoo, Dino oppa ... you resembles more like a Dino with your mouth wide open .. Haha. “

 

 

“ Aateber ! Ust olly bout or Emin. “

 

 

“ Mwo ? “

 

 

Jinri and Sunyoung laughed at Jonghyun's words which seems alien to their ears.

 

 

“ Oppa, we can't understand a single word that you said. “

 

 

“ I said .. “

 

 

He swallowed the last piece before continue to say the rest of his line.

 

“ Just worry about your Taemin. I had my Sunyoung to take care of me. “

 

 

“ I am. See .. “

 

Jinri pointed at Taemin who slept soundly with his head on her lap and one of his hand were firmly held her'.

 

 

“ I don't know why he choose to sleep when we are enjoying our lunch. “

 

 

“ Just worry about yourself oppa. Taemin oppa have me to take care of him. “

 

Jinri retorts him back with a chuckled causing Jonghyun to get annoyed at her.

 

 

“ Yah ! You guys should wait for us ! “

 

Soojung shrieked as she's heading her way towards her friends along with Minho at her side.

 

 

“ We might die of starving waiting for you guys so we choose not to ... hehe. “

 

 

Soojung pouted even more because of Jonghyun's words.

 

 

“ Let's just eat honey. “ Minho pulled her to seat next to him.

 

 

“ Where's Amber unnie ? “

 

Sunyoung asked while Soojung was busy opening her lunch box.

 

 

“ She's with Kibum. “ Minho answered on behalf of Soojung.

 

 

“ Kibum ? You mean .. that new kid in our class ? “

 

Jonghyun asked in disbelieved while Minho just gave a nod as his answer.

 

 

“ They knew each other ? “

 

 

“ I don't know.. but it looks like it. “

 

 

“ Wait .. who are we talking about again ? Who is this Kibum ? “ Sunyoung asked in a confusion.

 

 

“ There's a new guy in my class. He is Kibum. The one that with Amber right now. “

 

Minho clarified but it only helped lessen the confusion for 40% of it.

 

 

“ Let's ask Amber unnie about this Kibum guy when we see her... hehe .. Maybe he is unnie's boyfriend ? “

 

Jinri said with a mischievous smiles on her face only to made the rest of them to chuckled at her, well except for her boyfriend who still in his

 

dreamland.

 

 

“ I'm glad the school rules changed. We are happier because of it. “
