Chapter 6

Jongin had always thought that Alice Park is an interesting girl, but he was never actually interested about you until that glorious day during Chemistry. Jongin would never forget the look on your face when you saw him coming back to the lab yesterday, blushing beet red, but instead of a shocked or embarrassed look on your face, you had the tightest smile you’ve ever mustered on your face.

Jongin might’ve been amused, but you certainly did not feel the same way.

“What’s wrong, Alice?” he asked you as he tilted his head.

You scoffed so hard, Sehun nearly flinched. “You knew I was in the restroom,” you hissed at him, a dangerously sarcastic smile hanging on your lips. “And you still had the audacity to do that,”

Jongin immediately had a glint in his eyes. “What are you talking about, Alice?” Jongin displayed a coy smile, feigning innocence and curiosity.

Sehun rolled his eyes at the sight, faking a little puke. He knows that look on Jongin’s eyes, he could even spot it miles away. “Here we go again…”

“You know exactly what I’m talking about,” you shot him a look, squinting your eyes. “At least try to cover up or something, your shirt is all scrunched up,” you comment bitterly, glancing at how lower his shirt is ed.

“Yeah, she was holding onto me like crazy,” Jongin remarked casually.

Your bitter expression contorted into a scowl at how calmly he waved it off, and your expression became all the more exaggerated when you see the girl Jongin lip-locked with coming back inside the class, her face red and eyes hazy. “And I can see your partners are very much the same,”

“He’s used to walking around with swollen lips too. He never checks after the deed,” Sehun mentioned offhandedly, adding more fuel to the fire.

You got even more riled up and embarrassed, and Jongin chuckled at your reaction of disbelief. “What if it was one of the teachers inside the stall instead of me? You’d get in so much trouble!”

“Don’t ask him that,” Sehun put a hand on your shoulder. “It’s even more fun for him if a teacher was in the restroom,”

“Dude,” Jongin protested, but he laughed nonetheless. He turned his attention back to you, a mischievous grin slowly growing. “Sorry if you were startled, Alice. I didn’t mean to scare you,”

Taking in a deep breath, you tried to calm down. You felt slightly embarrassed that you’re worked up for something that’s none of your business, but you couldn’t help the drive to reprimand him. It felt like you’re discovering a new side to yourself, you’re not usually ticked off by people’s antics. Perhaps this is just where you the line for PDA. The boy needs a freaking leash. They weren’t kidding when they said Jongin has a reputation with the girls. The girl he was with immediately knew what he wanted, like it wasn’t their first time.

Just when I thought there wouldn’t be anybody as brazen as Oh Sehun.

“You really should be more careful next time,” you cleared your throat, passing him a glance stiffly. “You might not care, but there are others who would feel very disturbed by it,”

“I’ve never seen anybody disturbed by my lips,” Jongin commented smoothly, grinning confidently in a cheeky manner.

“Then you haven’t met everybody,” you muttered, unfazed.

“Yeah, and you’re one of them,” he leaned in closer, his voice suspiciously getting deeper. “Want me to convince you?”

You instinctively inched back, frowning at him. “Congratulations,” you heard Sehun say near her ear when you moved back. “You brought this upon yourself.”

“Move even closer, and I’ll hurt you,” you immediately went to defense mode, a threat jumping out of your throat the instant Jongin moves closer to you.

Jongin merely snickers at your little intimidation. “Don’t be scared, Alice,” he murmurs almost sensually, leaning in closer to show his boldness. “I don’t bite.”

Before you could even retort and move back, somebody’s already pulled you away. “I’ll be the judge of that,” Sehun suddenly stood up, moving his chair away. You tore your eyes away from Jongin and watch as Sehun push you and your chair to the side, moving you away from the wolf on your right.

Jongin finally leaned back, lifting a brow as he stares at the blonde with discontent. “Excuse me, but I was having a conversation with Alice,” the shift in Jongin’s voice is very apparent. Jongin actually sounded a bit annoyed.

Hiding behind Sehun’s back, you stretched your body a bit to lock eyes with Jongin. “There’s nothing to talk about.” you told him sternly before withdrawing your body, holding the urge to glare at him.

Apart from that, something else comes into your mind. Your focus moves to Sehun. It felt weird that now you’re thankful of his presence, while a few moments ago, you wanted to be away from him as much as possible.

“You heard the woman,” Sehun nodded to the direction of the door. “Scram,”

“Ouch,” Jongin faked a pained expression with a flimsy smile, clutching on his chest dramatically. “You hurt me, Alice,”

“My ears could say the same,” you replied airily.

“I told you he’s worse than I am,” Sehun sighed, showing you something akin to a sulky look. “You never listen to me,”

Okay, Oh Sehun and sulkiness is an unusual combination, but you have to say that it kind of suits him. “That’s because you usually spout nonsense,” you half joked.

“Oh, come on, Alice,” a playful grin graced Jongin’s features once again the moment you gave him your attention. “It’s not fun to sit beside Se
