Summary: It’s your first day at a new school, in a country you’ve only heard about in History class. Can you really fit in this place when you’re only an “American”?
A/N: If I made the reader seem like a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu, you would tell me, right???
You and Sungmin walk together to class in silence, not paying any attention to the whispers and glares in your direction. In a way, you made the situation between the Eunhae couple better, but, it sure doesn't seem like it. What if they never get back together? You clasped your hands togeter as you walked in step with Sungmin.
"Do you think they'll get back together?" you said softly to yourself, but Sungmin picked it up. He smiled softly and placed his arm around your shoulder to pull you into a one armed hug.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure that now the truth has been brought out, they just need to talk about it without an audience like us. But, I'm glad I went to you for help ____-sshi." he look over to you sincerely and placed a reassuring kiss on top of your forehead, you looked down, unable to face him in the eye.
"Wh-what for??" Sungmin was about to answer,but before anything could come out out of his mouth you were pulled backwards out of his hold fiercely. Your head hit something soft and you looked up to see just WHO was arrogant enough to possibly cause you a chance at splitting your head open on the floor. Heechul's smirk was the first thing you saw, his arms holding you firmly so you didn't fall. Your face twisted into a grimace as he let you turn around to face him properly.
"What do you want?" you said sharply. Heechul didn't reply and just stood there in his uniform.
"I said, what do you want?" you repeated. This time, the Prima Dona grinned deviantly and tossed something in your face. You jumbled a mess of incoherent words before yanking the object from your face. Before you could shout at him, you noticed that Heechul was already down the hallway, walking shoulder to shoulder in between Hangeng and Siwon.
"I couldn't find the rest of your clothes from last night, so wear that for the day. Be thankful and make sure that to take it to the dry cleaners when you're done!" He shouted looking back at you. As he left, the innocent bystanders stared at you, all with the same expression. You sighed and turned ot left, only to see Sungmin with a stone-cold expression. Taking a few steps forward toward the classroom, Sungmin gripped your arm before speaking in a low, threathening voice.
"_____-sshi, what went on between you and Heechul last night?" his normally shinging eyes were a dull coal. You shivered at his voice and tried to move your arm away with no prevail.
"Nothing happened! I just followed a cat, and he was there, my jacket was left with the cat! That's all! Please Sungmin....You're hurting me..." you implored, Sungmin's expression softened immediately once he heard nothing inappropriate was going on and released your arm. When you were able to move your arm, you examined it carefully, bruises were already startign to appear from where his fingers were. You looked at him in exasperation, and he hung his head.
"I'm sorry, I just....I suddenly got really angry, he made it sound like you two were-"
"Well, we're not, ok?! It's Heechul for goodness sakes! You yourself should know that what he says normally isn't true! Just look at Eunhyuk and Donghae!" you hissed. Sungmin didn't need to look up to see you glaring at him. Hastily, you threw on Heechul's jacket and went inside the classroom before the bell rung.
The rest of the morning lessons passed by, and once lunch began you were the first one out the door, not bothering to wait for anyone. You could hear Jessica try to call after you in the distance, but right now, that didn't matter. You've been looking forward to the lunch period to check up on Heebum. Once you reached where you last saw him, in Heebum's place was a tattered blue cloth that vaguely resembled your school uniform jacket. Slowly, you walked over and exaimend to abused cloth to find scratches and lacerations in the fabric with the hem pulled apart in places like a teething cloth for animals(if such a thing existed). You sighed, disappointed Heebum was here and sat down against the wall. Tired and worn out from this morning, you closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep.
When you came to, the sky was dark, the cloth still in your hands, and Heebum curled up next to you for warmth. You smiled and reached out to pet his sleeping form, gazing up at the sky. The sky was a blazing red from the aerosols of the city with the golden sun dying out. YOu closed your eyes once more, this time, just to take in the sounds of the city. Cars driving by, people talking, horns honking, bells ringing, music blaring from various buildings and clubs, and the your smooth, paceful breathing. It reminded you of New York; it reminded you of HOME....Suddenly overcome with a wrecthed homesickeness, you got up to head for the classroom and left Heebum with his new blanket.
When you walked into the classroom, you expected your stuff to be gone by now. After all, it seems like you were missing the whole day. Surprisingly, your bag and books were put all together neatly on top of your desk, along with a very (girlish) pink staionary letter. You picked it up and read it word for word:
Dear _____-sshi,
I'm really, really absolutely sorry I was mad at you, and you have every right to be mad at me, but I wish you weren't. :( I went to talk to Heechul about it because you were missing when I tried to get the whole story, of course, being Heechul, he brushed me off! The nerve of that guy! RAWR! >:( Anyway, I guess you're still mad at me by the time you read this, but let me at least say that I'm sorry again. I really want you to know that I'm sorry(A/N:Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Naega naega naega meonjeo, Nege nege nege ppajyeo, Ppajyeo ppajyeo beoryeo baby). You know that now right??? Ok, I love you! Byee!~ <3
Sincerely the pink bunny,
Sungminnie <3
You stood there, stunned for a moment, half-confused, and half-amused. This guy was really something; What kind of guy uses pink staionary with rabbits on the corner for an apologetic letter? And who writes an apology like that? Your eye caught something in the bottom left corner, in small writing:
P.S. You know that guy, Cho Kyuhun??? He's been staring at me lately, it's kind of creepy....How can I get him to leave me alone????
Reading the last part, you startd gigling, knowing full well who this Cho Kyuhun was. You hummed another tune to yourself as you grabbed your things to go home and made a mental note to investigate from Kibum about this guy. Because someoene has a crush on your best friend~
