Chapter 22

After Haewon said what she had said, she grabbed Jisung's hand and lead him out the hallway, and headed to the school exit.

"Wait, we're not ditching school right?" Jisung asked her. Tbh, if he was with Haewon, he would ditch every day if he could, but he really didn't want to make her in trouble.

"Yes, we are," she winked at him. 

"Haewon-ah, I don't want you to get into trouble," Jisung tried to stop her. "As much as I hate to say it, education is kinda important."

Haewon scoffed, "You're acting as if you don't skip school."

"How did you-"

"I have my ways," she interrupted, holding his hand tighter. "Now we just need to figure out how we're going to get out."

Jisung followed Haewon, but his eyes couldn't help but stay on her. He really did like her, and he knew it too. She really was different from everyone who'd 'confessed' their love for him. And he liked that.

"You know, staring is rude, but I'll let it slide since I like you," Haewon said, still thinking of a way they could leave without getting caught.

"I only stare at you babe," Jisung, said, his confidence coming back. "Come on, I know how we can leave without getting caught.

Haewon could feel the color coming to her cheeks, but she was happy a part of Jisung was coming back. Maybe he was feeling better. 

He led her to the back of the school, near a fence. 

"So, if we climb this, we'll be out, and no one will know. Well, probably Jaemin, but that's all," Jisung told her. "I mean if you can climb it."

"Of course I can," Haewon scoffed, moving in front of him, and climbing it. "See?" she finished, making it on the other side.

Jisung's face turned into a smile. "I never thought you would be able to do it tbh."

"Your turn," Haewon said, moving a bit so he would have space. After a while, Jisung made it to the other side as well. 

"I guess we can say you've officially ditched school," Jisung told her, giving her a cute smile.

Haewon smiled back, her heart fluttering. "I kinda forgot my backpack in class, but screw that."

"For real though," Jisung agreed, taking her hand and walking towards the sidewalk to get to their apartment. "You're nothing like I expected."

"I guess I can say the same to you too," Haewon agreed.

"Really? What kind of person did you think I was?" Jisung asked her.

Haewon took a second to think. "Well, first I thought you were someone who was cold and doesn't open up. But the more I hung out with you, I realized you're just a cute jealous little baby."

Jisung felt his heart beat faster, and he couldn't contain the smile that was showing on his face.

"What about me. What kind of person did you think I was?" she asked him.

Jisung continued walking, holding her hand tighter. "I thought you were just like every other girl here. Always trying their best to fit in. Turns out, you don't want to fit in. You just want to be you. And I find that adorable."

Haewon felt her heart beat faster after hearing what Jisung had said. She really wasn't supposed to feel this way, but at this moment, she honestly didn't care.

The two walked in silence, but it was more comfortable that awkward. Finally, they reached their apartment. But the pain in Haewon's stomach was still there. This must-have meant it was still there for Jisung too. 

"Let's go to your apartment. It would be easier to clean you up. I'm guessing you have the supplies?" Haewon asked him.

Jisung nodded, walking into the elevator with her, and pressing the floor number. They finally got on the correct floor, and Jisung opened the door to his apartment.

"So, where do you keep your bandages and stuff?" she asked him.

"In the kitchen, the first drawer," he replied, putting his stuff down, and walking into his bedroom.

Haewon nodded, following his directions, and getting the needed materials. She then went back to his bedroom and put the stuff down. Jisung sat down on the bed, moving slightly so that Haewon could help him.

"Ow," Jisung said, feeling the same stinging pain Haewon was feeling on her shoulder. Her eyes widened. So them being connected was true.

"Sorry," she managed to say.

"It's not your fault," Jisung told her, gritting his teeth from the pain. 

Haewon really wanted to know what had happened to him, but it would probably be better to ask later. She cleaned him up and threw away the remainder things that were used.

When she returned, Jisung walked up to her.

"Thanks," he told her, showing her a small smile.

"Anytime," she said as the atmosphere become quiet. 

Jisung took the opportunity to step closer to her, but Haewon didn't move back. Instead, she moved closer too.

He pulled her gently, his hands going on her waist while her hands stayed at his chest. 

"What if we try this again?" Jisung whispered, sending shivers down her spine. Haewon nodded as Jisung closed the gap between them.

Haewon could feel Jisung heart beating fast and was sure hers was beating faster. It was wrong. She couldn't do this. She wasn't supposed to. But why did it feel right?

Haewon's fingers went to his hair as he pulled her closer, closing any space between them. The two finally broke apart, still close enough for the breaths to mingle together.

"I like Choi Haewon," Jisung managed to say, pulling her in for another kiss.

At this point, Haewon didn't care about some stupid ban. All she cared about was Jisung, and that was enough.

Pulling away again, she looked at him. "I like you too Park Jisung."
