junhee POV

i walk in my 5th period class and take a seat at a free desk that wasn't too close not too far from the front of the class. it's honestly the best spot to sit in since the teacher only cares about the kids that sit in the back, which usually are the 'bad' students.

and one of those students was the guy i have had a crush on for as long as i remember knowing him. the class bully, and one of the most handsome guys in the school,

lee donghun.

i honestly feel so bad for falling for my best friends step cousin. even though they aren't related, you can't hide the fact that both of them are very close and care about each other more that anyone else.

how did i, the good straight A student, fell for someone as bad as donghun?

who the hell knows.

all i know is that the moment i saw him, my breathing slowed, heart started beating faster, and i somehow tripped on my own feet. i fell on the ground, the papers i was carrying scattered all over the floor, and his sad eyes were the only thing that existed for me at that moment.

it wasn't the best first impression, but it was what it was. donghun then quickly rushed over to my side and helped me up while byeongkwan picked the papers up. all of us sort of started hanging out, and later on chan also joined us. but after about a month, donghun stopped sitting with us. he found other people whom he had some classes together or played soccer with and started talking to them more. it was obvious that he felt more comfortable with them, but it still hurt. to see him talking with other attractive guys and flirt with random pretty girls in the hallway.

soon enough, he was known as the baddie of the school.

i sighed at all the memories of seeing donghun in the hallway making out with guys and girls, or hearing another rumor of him getting into a fight or having a one night stand with a random rich person.

i knew he wasn't like that, but did i really? maybe i just know the illusion of him that i have made in my mind a long time ago. maybe he wasn't like he used to be. maybe...

my thoughts were interrupted by the doors of the class being opened, and none other than lee donghun coming in.

"the class have started more than 15 minutes ago. you better have a good reason to be so late to class mr.lee." the teacher bitterly said to him. he stopped in his tracks, turned his upper body to face the teacher and said in an uninterested voice.

"hmm, how about because i wanted so. a good reason right? works everyday time." he smirks and continues to walk to his seat, which was at the back of the class. it happened that when he was halfway to his seat, he made eye contact with me. neither of us broke it and as he was walking past me, he just had to wink and give me his signature smile that made it easy for people to trust him.

i quickly turned away and felt my whole body stiff as my face became hotter with every passing second. a quiet, yet still audible chuckle came from where he was standing. i turn around to see him sitting at his seat on the other side of the class, looking my way and trying to hold in his laughter. i try to glare at him but fail. not wanting to embarrass myself even more nor to get in trouble by the teacher, i decide to ignore him and pay attention to class.

or at least make it less obvious that all my thought are filled with the older.
