YOU KNOW ME

"Jihye-ah! Daiyu isn't here today. Some people made rumours that she got kidnapped."

"That's stupid." Jihye giggled. "She's probably just sick." She lied, knowing that the Wang probably just got arrested. 

"Probably. Jihye! Your initials are in capital letters!" Haewon yelled loudly, making a few other students around them turn towards them. 

"Quiet down. It turned capital letters a while ago. You're late to the news." The Park joked, hitting her best friend's head lightly. 

Haewon was a few months younger that Jihye, which mean't that she hasn't became an adult yet nor got her initials.

"I hope I get k-j-s." She put her hands in a praying motion.

"k-j-s?"

"Kim Junseo." They both said in unison. Laughing together.

Kim Junseo was another student in their grade - One of Haewon's crushes for around...

A week?

Junseo wasn't that popular because he usually hung out in the library sleeping by himself. His personality contrasted Haewon's.

"Opposites attract. You'll get over him." Jihye joked as the two locked their arms together and began walking around the school.

As Jihye and Haewon walked passed the basketball court, where the F4 usually hung out and played, the Park couldn't help but glance towards Haechan. 

Hearing that he was his soulmate was a bit surprising. But she heard it from Kim Junho, how could she trust that?

Something in her heart kind of enjoyed hearing that - that he was her soulmate.

She usually ignored his existence at school, but ever since yesterday, her eyes and her mind couldn't leave him. 

The way his bangs fell naturally over his forehead, the way he wiped his sweat with his shirt, the relaxed position of his body as he played basketball.

Maybe this was the soulmate bond sparking? Or she was she just finally falling for the features that every girl at the school fell for. 

While the bell rang, Haewon asked, "Let's walk pass 3-5! Then I'll be able to study well."

Jihye couldn't help but follow her friend, knowing how much she simply wanted to see her week lasting crush. 

As they strolled pass the mentioned class, the Park firstly noticed that Haechan was also in the same class. 

"Wow, he's so good looking." The Kang drooled as if there were hearts in her eyes. 

▬

Suddenly, three figures came pushing the door down, making Junho drop his hand in instinct.

Hyeji was able to unlock the unbudging door with the skills Yangyang taught her, and then she used her gun to force open the door. The Park immediately ran towards the weak male, tapping him on all parts of his body.

After Taeil quickly checked Haechan and his body pressure, Hyeji slid towards Junho, helping the other members hold him down. 

Her right hand pushed down on his chest while her left hand laid uselessly on the ground, right in front of Junho's view. 

"L-D-H" He read in his mind repetitively in order to make sure that it sticks in his mind.

After the Kim was able to return back to his base, he was absolutely furious. How was a small girl able to break in and stop his plan?

"Wonbin. Find if anyone in NCT has the initials of L-D-H." He demanded his assisting secretary. 

"Sorry sir, there is no one with those initials. But a few with the surname 'Lee'."

"Look deeper! They could have an alias! Are you dumb?"

"Sorry sir, I will look deeper." 

Kim Junho was extremely mad at that point. "Hamin. Get me the newest red wine. Right now!"

"Mr. Kim. Lee Haechan's real is Lee Donghyuck. That seems to match up with L-D-H." Wonbin informed.

The controlling Kim chuckled to himself. "I got you." He laughed wickedly. 

▬

Jihye wasn't able to focus in class, like always. Instead, she was thinking about her encounter with the towering Kim.

On the day that she saved Haechan, she found out that Junho was a coward - the ones that get mad when things don't go their way and only use money to get what they want. They think they're strong but it reality, very weak.

"Hm. Jihye, answer to question 45?" The teacher asked, noticing that the girl was clearly not paying attention.

"B." Eunjin whispered.

"B." Jihye replied, surprising the teacher. "Thanks." She smiled at the Jeong. 

After that, rather than her eyes not leaving the board, her eyes wouldn't leave the clock.

Just as the bell rang, before the teacher could dismiss everyone, they all ran out.

Jihye quickly packed up and then left the classroom, heading towards the cafeteria.

The Park never really ordered at the cafeteria because the line was always long, but she only sat there with Haewon. 

"Jihye! Let's go to the library." The Kang invited cheerfully, before she could answer, she was pulled by the arm and forced to go unwillingly.

"You, studying? That's unlikely."

Obviously, Haewon didn't go to the library to study, but to find Junseo.

As the two passed through many aisles of books and a bunch of nerds on their computers studying, they halted at the very last one.

Junseo had dark brown hair, high nose bridge and fair skin. 

Jihye noticed that his features were very similar to Kim Junho - even their names were related. However, she brushed the thought off easily.

"He's so handsome when he's sleeping." 

"You sound like a creep." The Park joked, disgusted by the fact that she was so in love with a random student laying down on the carpet floor, using a stack of books as a pillow.

While her best friend crushed over him, Jihye heard a whisper from the library.

"Park Jihye?"
