Forever Waiting (Kim Jonghyun x reader)

Chapter 10: ♫ Keeping Love Again ♫

Readers POV
It's been 3 months since that kiss. Neither of us spoke about kiss. It's been a month since we've been back at school and it's obvious that Jonghyun's avoiding me. We don't talk anymore. We don't even greet each other when we do see each other. It's just awkwardness. His and Siran's relationship is still good. I guess him being truthful to her just strengthened their relationship. Sighing I looked away from the couple and back to the food. It hasn't been a really good 3 months or a month back at school. People keep glaring at me, whispering about me some even stick sticky notes on my desk or locker about me being this or that. Why? Because everyone knows I kissed Jonghyun. But I didn't kiss him. He kissed me but no one cares about my side of the story only Jonghyun and Siran's.

The past 3 months weren't all bad though I had Taemin. He texted me everyday to make sure I was okay. He was here for me and he still patiently waited for me. He didn't pressure me into a relationship which I was grateful for.

Losing my appetite I threw away the food I brought. Yeah it was a lonely lunch where Micha's busy with Minho, usually I'd go to the other guys but I can't. Not anymore considering they're friends with Jonghyun and he's with them and it'll just make things awkward. Putting my bag over my shoulders I left the cafeteria and headed to the school's dance studio. I peered through the little door window and I saw Taemin dancing. I knew he'd be here. I was about to open the door but my hand stopped at the handle. I shouldn't bother him considering a inter school Dance competitions was going to be held soon. Sighing I left for the library.

The day went by slowly but luckily I was in my last lesson - biology. I was scribbling down notes when the boy next to me spoke up "could you just reword what the teacher just said? It went in one ear and out the other"

"Oh er yeah sure..." I cleared my throat before explaining it to him.

"Ah that makes sense, thank you" he smiled softly and I just nodded before resuming to take notes. I shivered as I felt a strong gaze at my back. Taking a quick glance back I saw Siran staring 'just a hour then I can leave'. I kept counting the minutes down.

Finally it was time to go home, sighing in. Relief I placed my books in my bag before leaving the room, but before I could someone stood in my way stopping me from getting out.

"A-ah excuse me I need to get out Siran" I said as I tried to walk past her but then a bunch of other girls entered the room pushing me back. I heard the lock and I stared at them "e-erm... I need to go home.. My p-parents are waiting for me" I said as I tried to get past them but one of them pushed me back again.

"Your parents are waiting? That's funny... Jonghyun said your mum died when you were 4 and you're dad's barely at home now? So how are your parents waiting?" I heard one of them snicker.

I bit my lower lip as i gripped my bag tightly 'how could he say that to Siran? I said that to him with trust.'

I felt a hand grip my hair tightly, snapping me from my thoughts completely "that h-hurts" I dropped my bag to try and get free from the girl's grip.

"Not until you learn a lesson" Siran said in her sweet voice which at that moment made me feel sick.

"W-what lesson?" I stuttered as I covered my cheek from where she just slapped me.

"A lesson that teaches you to stay in your lane and away from our boyfriends." One of the girls snarled at me.

"I have no interest in any of your boyfriends!" I yelled because I hated being treated like crap but that only gained me another slap.

"Don't talk to us like that, Hun. We're only doing this so you know your place. I mean if you think kissing Jjong oppa and then flirting with her boyfriend is a good idea then you need to be put in place" Siran sneered.
