The School Hunk is Taken | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 25

In fact, Jaehyun and I were indeed childhood friends. We had a good relationship in school. Even though there was no deep love, with the onset of puberty, it was quite natural to have 'revolutionary' feelings. With the surge of hormones in puberty, Jaehyun Oppa suddenly started looking very pleasing to the eyes. Now when I think about it, at that time, I was more interested in the idea of falling in love than the actual thing. Later, things started going south, At the beginning, no one suspected a thing since it was normal for us to be together. However his mother was one weakness that Jeong Jaehyun had. He valued and obeyed his mother even more than the teacher. When the two of us had a slight argument in school, even the teacher scolded us. That didn't really bother him. But when his mother said the same things, the kid was completely scared. What could I, the little girl do? 

I decided to endure it. Everyone would be free after the college entrance exams....this is what Jaehyun Oppa had told me. When I heard this, my heart dropped. I thought this was an indication that he would confess his love for me after the exams. How romantic! Unfortunately, in the evening of the exams, I was still waiting for those words, "My mom won't let me be with you, she said that our destinations in life are very different".

This was a clean rejection. After few days, my father heard some gossip in Jeong's group. The message seemed to be that Jaehyun's  suspected my grades were poor. She wanted her daughter in law to be from the same university as Jaehyun, and I would not fit the bill. To sum it up, I wasn't good enough for him.

I was so upset that I went up to Jaehyun and asked him if this was true. He stood silent for a long time before utterin one word "Sorry". Not long after that, the headmaster and the village head came with a bunch of people to our house with flowers. If I hadn't done so well, Jaehyun would be the best scorer in the country. He managed a place in a university in B city as well, but that was not as famous as ours. Later, in B city, Jaehyun Oppa contacted me and asked if I would like to hang out with him, but I was enamoured with Kim Taehyung at that time and didn't agree. I narrated all this to Jeon Jungkook and finally said, "I didn't expect you to be interested in gossip".

Jungkook frowned. "This is not gossip. You keep calling him Jaehyun Oppa, Jaehyun Oppa....why don't you call me Jungkook Oppa?"

I blandly replied, "I am used to calling him that for last ten years. I can't change overnight!"

"You better change", he replied, "I am getting a toothache".

I groaned and said, "Jungkook, look! I told you all about Jaehyun and me, why don't you tell me your love story as well? I am sure you must have a lot of these experience, so just choose the most important ones so you can remember the names".

Jungkook pondered for a while and relied, "I used to like a girl. Her father and mine were good friends and we had been friends since children".

I nodded, "Then?"

Jungkook signed heavily, "Since she broke y arm, I have never thought about her again".

I was speechless. I wiped the sweat on my forehead and patted his shoulder in sympathy, but my heart was dark. Were where you little girl, when Jungkook was abusing me? God didn't even blink! Jungkook suddenly looked up and smiled at me, "You are actually very happy right?"

I waved, "How is that possible? Am I such a person? Don't talk about such unpleasant memories. Let's talk about something nice, like your first love? The second spring? The third and fourth time? What about the sixth or seventh?"

Jungkook smiled, "Do you think I have been so active?"

"Ofcourse! Ah....no I mean you are so attractive! ha ha ha ha!"

"True", Jungkook raised is eyebrows and smiled widely, "But I don't seem to have a first love".

I gulped incredulously, "No?"
