Secrete

Jaejoong, Jiyeon

Up to you

I'm sorry that I did not write the plot, it is because I don't know how to write one I hope you understand. >_<

“Yah! Yah! Yah! Get lost!”

Students scurried away quickly, not even daring to make any noise and murmurs among themselves, when the famous meanest boy had arrived in school.

The gangster randomly grabbed a boy and smirked right into his face, “Give me all your money.”

“B-But… I…”

He gave his stomach a punch at once. “Give them all to me.”

And the poor boy had no choice but to surrender his pocket money to him, all of it.

After he got the money, he shoved him out of the way again, “Now get lost before you turn into a rotten egg.”

Jaejoong kept the few bucks and smirked in satisfaction.

Well, he has money.

Lots of it.

He wasn’t poor as his parents owned a famous hotel group in Seoul.

But he turned rebellious at an age, and made trouble for them – lots of it. He always skipped school – used to though. He has to attend after getting threatened by his parents. They said he would get nothing out of their inheritance if he didn’t finish his college.

He went.

He attended school just for the money.

But he wasn’t happy.

So he showed his anger towards the students instead.

He needed something to help him release his anger and resentment.

And the poor students were his victims.

Jaejoong arrived in the classroom late, but the teacher didn’t care too. No one cared. No one even bothered to treat him as a human, a living being.

They were simply too scared of him.

That was another reason why he turned bad. Ever since young, no one cared for him, not even his teachers in school. Everyone treated him as invisible. So he turned out this way. It was actually his own way of protecting himself.

Lessons continued and ended soon after.

The corridor was empty since every student waited for him to leave before they moved.

He did.

He left the school building with a scoff and walked towards the gates.

But a figure in the garden next to their school caught his eyes. It was a girl. She was a student of their school too.

“That girl sure has guts huh? Out so early…” Jaejoong found a new target.

She walked into the garden and walked towards the fountain where the girl was sitting at. He walked closer to her quietly, intending to scare her all of the sudden, but only to realize her head was nodding off.

It wasn’t usual.

He raised a brow and lowered his body right in front of her, and his instinct was right.

She was actually sleeping.

Jaejoong squatted right in front of her – with both of his arms on his kneecaps – and watched her dozing off.

“How did she even manage to sleep like this? Didn’t our lesson just end too? That was fast…” He was really curious – no joke.

The smirk and scoff on his face were gone – only to be replaced with a frown. “Aren’t you tired like this?”

But he jumped up in surprise when he saw her fidgeted.

He ran towards a tree nearby and hid behind it. After calming himself down, he took a peek. She was awake.

She had her eyes widely opened and she was looking up at the sky.

She smiled and held her hands up high, as if she was holding onto the clouds.

Jaejoong gulped hardly when he witnessed that. “She’s so beautiful…” He raised his hand up to his chest and looked at it in shock.

“Why is my heart beating so fast…?”

He turned back to look at the girl again, but to his horror, she was gone. She wasn’t at the fountain anymore.

“Oh God…”

He came out from his hiding place and panted badly, “Don’t tell me I like her… No… It can’t be…” But he returned home and was thinking about his beautiful angel the whole day, even before he fell asleep.

Jaejoong hurried to school the next day, with only one target in mind: To see her.

He stood behind the same tree, even before the school’s gates opened, and waited for her to appear.

Finally.

After an hour of wait, she arrived.

Jaejoong smiled at her cute actions since she was skipping into the school compound. Strange enough, he could spot her easily even though she was right in the middle of the crowd of so many students.

Jaejoong walked out of his hiding place and walked real close after her. Even though his appearance scared other students, the girl didn’t seem to be affected.

She continued skipping into the school, not realizing students around her were avoiding the both of them.

She reached the lockers’ area and opened her locker happily, wanting to get her books but only to jump in shock when her locker was being slammed close the next minute.

She looked to her right and found a guy she never saw before. “Why are you closing my locker’s door, Mister…” She looked at his nametag for one second, “…Kim?”

Jaejoong smirked and stood closer to her, but she didn’t even flinch. He looked at her nametag and cheered inwardly. He finally got her name!

“Park Jiyeon.”

“Yes, Mr. Kim?”

“You’re being chosen to be my next target.”

“Target? What for? To be your friend?” Jiyeon beamed widely in excitement, “Okay! Okay! I’ll be your friend! I never had a guy friend before, well, not that I have a girlfriend too. But you know what I mean! I never once had a friend before so I’ll be glad to be your friend, Mr. Kim!”

Jaejoong almost had his jaws widened but he felt his heart pinched. *She doesn’t have any friends before? Well… so did I…*

The moment he heard murmurs around him, he remembered he had his image to put up.

Jaejoong cupped her cheeks and pulled her dangerously close to her, “Give me all your money.”

“My money?” Jiyeon managed to speak even with jammed, which made her looked totally like a goldfish.

Well, he totally found that cute.

“Yes, money. Give it all to me. I don’t hit girls so don’t make me hit you.”

Jiyeon nodded her head innocently and pushed his hands away gently. “Okay! Hold on a second, Mr. Kim!”

She dug her bag for her wallet and pulled his hand out. Then she dropped all the coins onto his palm before showing him her purse with a smile on her face, “There! All my money are with you now! Do you now have money for lunch? Take mine then. I don’t need bread today then! I’ll just drink my water!”

*She’s… this poor…?*

There. He felt another pinch in his heart.

Jaejoong scoffed and dropped all the coins back into her wallet. “Forget it. That’s too little.” And he turned around to leave the lockers’ area.

Jiyeon pouted sadly and ran out, but he was already far away. “YOU CAN FIND ME IN THE GARDEN DURING LUNCH, MR. KIM! I CAN SHARE MY BREAD WITH YOU IF YOU WANT TO!”

He heard it, definitely, and he fell more in love with her.

But he chose to ignore her and continued walking to his classroom. “My poor girl… You were suffering this whole life?!”

He felt so bad.

He was always tormenting and extorting money from students. That was when he realized some of them might be like her too. They might be penniless too.

But due to his gangster image and anger, they gave all their money to him – for nothing. He didn’t use them too. He just chuck it aside when he reached home.

“What the hell was I doing the whole time…?” He looked at the students in his classroom and let out a sigh inwardly. “I hurt every one of them… Is it too late to even think about it now…?”

He has to change himself.

He has to, if he wanted to stay close to Jiyeon.

Lunch arrived.

Jaejoong bought two bentos from the cafeteria and bought them over to the garden. He snatched her bread when she was about to take her first bite and pushed the bento to her laps. “Eat this.”

Jiyeon looked at the bento and back to him, “Mr. Kim! I can’t take this!”

“Just eat it!”

“Then what about you?”

“I have it too.” He showed her the other bento, which made her smiled again. But the smile was soon being wiped off by a frown. “Then what will happen to my bread?”

“Throw it away.”

“NO!” Jiyeon snatched it back when he was about to throw it into the bin. “I’ll just eat the bread! You can have the bento back, Mr. Kim!”

“Why?”

“I bought it with my own money! I can’t let it go to waste!”

Jaejoong sighed and snatched the bread over again, and shushed her when she was about to argue. “Just eat the bento first. We’ll see how later.”

“Don’t throw it away okay?”

“I won’t.”

After she was sure he wouldn’t do it, she dug into her bento at once. Jaejoong too, dug into his happily when he realized she was eating – a proper meal.

He felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction.

After they were done, Jaejoong held the bread up, “So? Still hungry?”

“Nope!”

“Can I eat this bread then?”

“Mr. Kim is hungry?”

“A little.”

“Eat it then!” Jiyeon beamed and opened the wrapper for him. “Eat it wel
