CHAPTER NINE

"Good morning class!" Mr Choi walked in with a big smile as the class gave him odd looks. Eunji was on her seat, head on the table as she looked at the white wall as if actually finding it interesting. Since Myungsoo was her seatmate, she had been constantly positioning herself like this so she wouldn't attract any sort of conversation with him. She had also been waking up earlier to run to school before Myungsoo could even reach her house to walk her like he used to. It was tiring, yes. But it was even harder getting used to not seeing a bright smiling face every morning. Myungsoo would always come in and start a small conversation with her but Eunji would always end it with short answers.

But the bell had already rung and Eunji couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't heard his voice yet. Slowly and casually, she lifted her body up and quickly took a glance next to her before diverting her eyes to the wall again. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion before she fully turned her head, looking at nothing but a chair neatly pushed in. She couldn't help but wonder why he wasn’t in class yet.

The nerdy, goody-two-shoes ideal student wasn't in class. And this time, Jung Eunji wasn't with him. The class stood up, Eunji joining them as they did their morning greeting together.

Even after the greeting, Mr Choi still composed his bright smile, maybe an even larger one, as the class was murmuring quietly at his new attitude. "Alright class!" he cheerfully spoke, "Does anyone know why I'm so happy today?"

"You went out with a girl that didn't run away as soon as she saw your face?" Eunji murmured to herself but loud enough for the whole class to giggle at her comment. Mr Choi scowled at her before sarcastically laughing, "Ha. Ha. Very witty, Miss Jung." His smile appeared again as he faced the class, "But no. Not because of that. It's because we're going to a resort!" The class erupted in cheers and applause as soon as the words came out but Eunji just slumped forward, not liking the sound of it.

It was already hard avoiding him for more than 7 hours a day, now for 24 hours straight? What else could make it worse.

Mr Choi continued, "Seniors and Juniors-"

just got worse.

Now it was Myungsoo and Naeun she'd have to stay away from. Great. Absolutely great.

"...You have the weekend to pack and we leave at 7 in the morning so don’t be late or we'll leave without you!" Mr Choi's words finally reached Eunji's mind, "Oh. And rooms will be arranged as students with the same gender. Every teacher will keep an eye on you and your uncontrollable hormones, so don't even start planning anything!" The class chuckled at his remark before his usual stiff face came back, silencing the whole room.

"Now, let's start class!"

"Unnie! Eunji unnie!" Naeun called out, dodging students as she ran towards Eunji. The latter turned around, finally hearing that familiar innocent voice as she faked a smile. "Oh. Naeun-ah." Eunji spoke, "I haven't seen Myungsoo around."  Naeun chuckled, "Unnie, I haven’t even said anything. How would you know if I was really going to ask that?" Eunji blinked, "You weren't?"

Naeun shook her head with a smile, "I know he isn't here today and I met up with him this morning."

Eunji nodded. "Wait," Naeun's eyebrows crossed, "Didn't he tell you why?" Eunji opened but ended up not saying anything so she shook her head instead. "Really? I thought he'd tell you though…." Naeun looked surprised, "Anyway, you heard about our trip to the resort, right?" Eunji nodded silently.

"He organised it for us!" Naeun exclaimed happily, "His aunty owns the place and he went there to visit before we went. Kya!~ I'm so excited! He said the place was romantic! Doesn’t that say something, unnie?" Naeun smiled as Eunji could practically see love hearts in her eyes.

Eunji bit her lip before faking a laugh, "Really? Hey, I need to le-" "He's been so nice lately! I'm actually really glad I confessed." Naeun accidentally cut her off, stuck in her own love bubble. Eunji nodded, thinking of a way to leave before Naeun never stopped talking. She watched as Naeun's lips moved along with her arms as she continued talking about Myungsoo, Eunji just wanting to stop listening.

"Eunji-ah!" multiple voices called from the other side of the hall. Naeun finally stopped and the both of them turned to look at the direction, finding Infinite smiling as they walked. Eunji smiled back, relieved.

"Annyeonghaseyo, " Naeun bowed shyly as the boys followed. Infinite wasn't too familiar with her so they turned to look at Eunji. "Yah! Aren't you going to each lunch with us?!" Sunggyu said, his voice changing quickly. Eunji made a face before teasing him, "Aigoo… So disrespectful..."

Woohyun snorted, playing on, "Forgive him, Eunji-ah. He has…. you know… old people issues."

"YAH!" Sunggyu shouted, slapping Woohyun's nape as the group burst into laughter.

"Alright! I'm sorry!" Woohyun laughed, running behind Eunji to get away from Sunggyu, "Let's get to the cafeteria before lunch period ends."

Eunji turned towards Naeun, "You wanna join us?" Naeun quickly shook her head, "Ani, gwenchana. I've got cheerleader practice in a few minutes. See you later though." She gave a quick wave to Infinite and Eunji before running down the hallway to practice. Eunji sighed quietly, feeling oddly guilty before she felt a comforting arm around her.

"Don’t worry about it." Hoya told her, as Infinite joined him with soft smiles, "Let's go get something to eat."

Eunji nodded, feeling grateful for them before walking towards the cafeteria.

"Is that everyone?" Mrs Han, the principal asked the students. It was Monday morning and there was a crowd of students outside the school as their suitcases got piled into the bus.

"Jung Eunji's not here yet!" Myungsoo quickly called out, before his head returned to the direction of the street where Eunji's house was.

He was jumpy, worried that she won’t come as he gripped his phone in his hand. Infinite was beside him, quietly wondering where she was as Naeun continued calling her phone. Soon enough, a wobbling figure came to view as she tried to balance her bag hanging on one shoulder with the suitcase she's pulling.

Myungsoo sighed in relief before she ran towards her, only to find that he got beaten to it. Eunji smiled brightly at Wonho as he took both her bag and suitcase and easily walking beside her. Myungsoo watched as Eunji scowled playfully at him, trying to get at least her bag back. He forced a small smile, looking down before walking back to where he was.

Naeun hugged Eunji, "Unnie! I was scared you weren't going to come!" Eunji sheepishly laughed, "I woke up late."

"Not surprising." six voice said in unison. Eunji rolled her eyes playfully, "Oh shutup. No one asked you dorks."

"Alright! Everyone seems to be here already! Go to your buses!" Mrs Han said, as the students immediately followed. Eunji swiftly grabbed both her bag and suitcase from Wonho before he even had the chance to pull it back and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Mehrong!~" she cutely scowled, "I'll take these myself." Wonho shook his head before stepping up into the bus  with his hands in his pockets. Infinite soon followed, pushing each other to see who gets on the bus first. Eunji chuckled at the sight but she didn’t notice the quick sad look Myungsoo gave her.

"Kamsahamnida, ajusshi!" Eunji bowed at the driver as he loaded her stuff onto the bus. Eunji walked towards the doors of the bus before she felt a hand hook with hers. "Unnie, let's sit together on the bus, okay?" Naeun chirped as Eunji happily agreed.

The two of them stepped up onto the bus to find almost no seats left. They walked down the aisle, hoping to find a pair of seats that they might've missed, but still no luck.

Nearing the end of the bus, two seats were spotted.

One next to Wonho. One next to Myungsoo.

Across from each other.

Both boys were looking outside the window before they simultaneously turned their head towards her. She met eyes with Myungsoo and flinched slightly before turning her head, only to meet eyes with Wonho.

Eunji forced a smile, "Nana, go sit with Myungsoo. There aren't any other seats." Eunji casually walked to the seat next to Wonho as he greeted her with a wide smile as Naeun happily walked towards her boyfriend, shyly smiling at him.

Myungsoo smiled back quickly before he stood up, "You want window seat, right?" Naeun blinked, not really minding where she sat, "O-Oh.. Yeah." Myungsoo stepped out of the seats, letting Naeun in first before sitting on the aisle seat. Right where I can see her….

He gave a side glance to the pair across and saw Eunji chuckling at a joke Wonho threw. Unconsciously glaring, he rolled his eyes and crossed his legs, not wanting to see the sight.

The bus started and the students cried out happily, looking forward to the week ahead. But all Myungsoo could think of as he continuously glanced at Eunji was that this was going to be one hell of a long ride.

Halfway through the ride there, Myungsoo had woken up, finding Naeun's head resting on his shoulder. He her hair in a brotherly way as he yawned from the sleep he just had. He blinked, getting used to the light before looking around the bus.

Having it being more than a 4 hour drive, everyone on the bus was fast asleep, with an exception of the driver, of course.

He looked to the side, spotting Eunji resting her head on Wonho's shoulder as his arm was securely wrapped around her shoulder. Something arose in him as he found himself reaching across the aisle, only to be stopped by Naeun's stirring.

He froze, not wanting to wake her up before deciding to slowly lean her head towards the window. She stirred as soon as she made contact with the cold surface but stayed deep in sleep. Myungsoo sighed in relief before proceeding with his plan.

He stood up from  his seat, stepping towards Eunji and Wonho before lifting Wonho's arm off. Wonho immediately shook his arm off, still asleep. He cuddled closer to Eunji in the process as the latter's head found it's way to the crook of his neck.

Myungsoo scowled at Wonho before mindlessly grabbing his arm and throwing back onto his lap. Wonho stirred in his sleep with the sudden action but Myungsoo didn’t think about that.

He quickly, but gently, lifted Eunji's body off Wonho's before reaching at the seats behind, grabbing Sungyeol's neck pillow. Sungyeol's head hung low, causing his body to join as he ended up in an awkward and uncomfortable position.

Myungsoo carefully placed the neck pillow on Eunji as he leaned her head back on the rest. He smiled softly at the sleeping face in front of him as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"I…" he leaned in slowly, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. He slowly pulled back, wanting the moment to last before a bigger smile appeared on his face.

"love..." he whispered before leaning again, pressing his lips against her small nose. He pulled back, swiping a thumb across her pink lips.

"you." he leaned in once more before his lips touched hers in a sweet and gentle kiss. He leaned back before touching their foreheads together, a smile not disappearing from his face.

"I swear you kissed back, " he whispered, his thumb softly rubbing her cheeks.

"UMMGRHHHERUUUUGPH! DURRRRPHGHGGUUNNNNGH!"

Myungsoo jerked back, pretending to casually lie on the aisle floor as the sudden sound came from no where. He turned his head to find the source and saw Sungyeol, sitting up, eyes half open and finger pointing towards him.

Sungyeol said more incoherent words before slumping back down to his awkward position as if nothing happened.

Myungsoo ran a hand through his hair, slowly recovering from the heart attack her got before glaring at the sleeping choding.

"Aish… blocker…"

Author's Notes: Sorry for the SUPER DUPER late update~~~  Dont kill me.... (My friends have already been doing that -.-) I really appreciate all your support for this fic! Don't even get me started on how much i had to clear the whole page and start again... Urgh... annoying.

Anyway, what do you guys think about Taemin and Naeun on WGM? I'm a shawol, but i really dont mind ._. Tbh, i know it's selfish, but Myungsoo was supposed to be her husband so I'm glad Woolim rejected their offer. YAY FOR WOOLIM! :)

Two reasons:

One - I wouldn't have the will to keep writing this story since, well, MyungNa couple would be true. And I'd be very sad... :(

Two - Who would want to watch this adorable creature do lovey-dovey things to another girl? I WOULDN'T.

ASDFGHJKL. THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME KIM MYUNGSOO. >.<
