seduce - 제이크 [english translated]

1.41 // broken pieces

Jieun felt like she just wanted to run away, her body was weak from lack of rest. She stepped into the school grounds with a proud face. Her feet continued to step towards her locker.

While she was picking up a book, someone Jieun really didn't want to meet appeared. Kim Min-joo.

"Good morning, cousin! Aww, why are you looking sour?" Minju asked with a sarcastic tone. Hyewon, who was next to her, held back a laugh.

Jieun rolled his eyes, "My sour face is not your thing, cousin."

Jieun wanted to start walking to enter the class. She didn't want to meet Jay after what happened last week. She doesn't know why she felt something in her heart. Every time she sees Jay.

Minju squeaked in annoyance hearing Jieun's answer. In the blink of an eye, Jieun's arm was pulled so that the girl wouldn't run away.

"Well! What do you want, Minju?" Jieun asked in a high tone. She pulled his arm from Minju's grip.

"What do I want? You know what I want, Choi Jieun!" replied Minju.

Jieun laughs sarcastically, she hugs her body and looks at Minju. She knew what the girl wanted from her eyes and Jieun already knew. The girl wants her to leave this school.

Jieun has a strong influence at school. If she participates in many competitions, the school's level will rise. But she made the problem that the school's standards would decline.

Or worse, she might be expelled from school.

"You know I'm not stupid like you. Please, Minju, I just want to rest. For three months," Jieun said again with an angry tone.

"Stupid?" Said the one who broke the window. "I know everything, princess. You're lucky the boy helped you." Minju replied in a whisper. The sentence made Jieun bite her lip.

Seeing Jieun who seemed to want to give in, Minju continued to step forward with Hyewon. So does anyone else know about that? What will happen after this if Minju spreads the news?

Jieun's feelings are mixed and finally anger dominates her heart. She pursed her lips as she gripped the book tightly. Jieun took as deep a breath as possible.

Avoiding herself from crying.

"Jieun? Why are you here again?" said Sunghoon, who had just arrived with Jay. Jieun just glanced at Sunghoon and her watery eyes caught Sunghoon's attention.

"Are you crying? Did Minju bother you again?" Sunghoon asked again.

Jieun didn't answer, instead she continued to walk away. She didn't want to hear the scolding from Sunghoon and also the look at Jay. She was already trying to stay away.

While Jay is confused. Thinking about Jieun and Minju's relationship.

Jieun turned on the light of the ballerina's training room. She stepped into the middle of the room and stood looking at herself. Her face was blank without any expression and like a person who didn't get enough sleep.

Jieun thought, is this the girl who won the ballerina competition in Sydney last month? Is this the girl who often dances beautifully on stage?

Or just a mask?

Jieun didn't know, the burden on her shoulders was increasing, making her tired. How much longer does she have to be like this? Lacking love and attention, often hated by her own cousins.

"Why does Minju hate me so much? What's wrong with me?" Jieun then asked cupped her face.

She sobbed without thinking if anyone entered the room or not. She didn't care because what she wanted now was time. She needs to be alone and away from others.

Jieun is confused, she is afraid that her secrets and mistakes will be known. She was afraid that she would be expelled from school. It's not that her parents can't afford it, it's just that Jieun is already comfortable at her school.

"You know crying like this won't solve the problem. " someone said and Jieun quickly looked up.

Jay was standing with both hands in his pockets. Jieun quickly wiped the rest of her tears so that Jay wouldn't see them. But in vain because the man had seen it first.

Jieun smiled thinly, "what are you doing here?"

"Why are you crying?" asked Jay.

Silence. There was no answer from Jieun because he didn't know what she should answer. Should she cry, wail in front of Jay? Of course not, Jieun is not the type who likes to show her feelings in public.

Jay took out his phone. He played a song titled <Selene> by Imagine Dragons. Jieun looked at Jay with a strange look when the man approached her. Jay held out his hand and Jieun looked at him strangely.

"You have to release all your pressure. I always dance to reduce stress. " Jay said and gently pulled Jieun's hand.

He gripped Jieun's hand tightly, moving it left and right. Jieun was a little clumsy until the song changed to <Monster> by Shawn Mendes. Jieun started laughing when Jay danced in front of her. Their laughter filled the training room.

Now they were both lying on the floor staring at the ceiling. Jieun's lips formed a thin smile thinking that the pressure was slightly reduced. He turned to Jay who was still staring at the ceiling.

"Jay." she called and Jay turned around.

"Thank you for helping me. You're right, crying won't solve the problem." added Jieun again.

"No problem!"

Jieun got up from lying to sitting. She just realised that she's been here for almost an hour without doing anything but dancing with Jay. She got up to pack, she carried the bag and turned to Jay. The man was already standing and looking at her.

Jieun approached Jay and instantly her lips landed on Jay's cheek. She just smiled thinly and wanted to walk away before her arm was pulled back. Her brain couldn't process what was happening because now Jay's lips were on hers.

Jay kissed her right on the lips. At that time the song <I Just Wanna> sung by Felix Jaehn filled the room. Jieun didn't refuse and immediately replied.

In his mind, maybe Jay also had the same feeling.
