Chapter 15

"Hey." Jennie smiled and stuck out her hand to him with the note. "I'm sorry we couldn't-" His hand pushed away the note, making it fall to the floor.

"Don't worry about it." He turned his head away from her and began to open his textbook to the last page he took notes on. His pencil was picked up, and he began to write, and she began to feel annoyed. She was annoyed that he would be ignoring her and leading her heart in directions she wasn't sure of yet. As much as she had been hurting the past couple of days, the hope and bit of joy she found in his words and what he said. The way he seemed to care, the way he showed he liked her, was now being pushed away. He was not showing that at all anymore, and now she felt like she was being played for some sort of game.

"What is your problem?" She asked, showing her annoyance in the words she spat out. He turned towards her, scoffing before turning away.

"Why don't you just leave?" He had his hand on his textbook, skimming through the words and trying to read.

"What did I do wrong?" She asked, and he ignored her. He took a deep breath, letting his frustrations out before she pushed his shoulders. "What am I doing so wrong?" She screamed a little louder, her voice causing him to spring up in his seat. He moved towards her, every step mocked in the opposite direction.

"What are you doing wrong? First, you bother me, then I keep seeing you, you take me as a joke, and then you smile after you've trapped me." He had now successfully backed her against one of the walls within the classroom and stared into her eyes. "Worst of all, you pulled my heart and made me think I had a chance." His face moved closer to hers as he stared into her face, their eyes moving in unison before he backed away. "Now leave before I steal you for myself."

Jennie felt her heart racing from his body's heat radiating so closely to hers before he backed away. Her body was beginning to sweat with the thought of how close they were, and her eyes locked on to his. Listening to his words repeat like always, she thought. 'Now leave before I steal you for myself.' How would he be stealing her? She was unsure of the circumstances that he was speaking about. She was hypnotized by his words, hurt by his rejection, angry at his feelings toward her, but even more, she was fascinated by him. She wanted to know more, but she was not willing to put in her entire heart just yet. He was leaving her with so many unanswered questions, which is why she needed to ask only one.

"Is this a joke?" She was not sure about a lot of things, and it was getting hard to keep up with the interactions they continued to have. After all, he did not have to be the one to lead her on by getting her number, writing her notes, walking with her, or even being there. Her thoughts went back to every interaction, but how his eyes seemed genuine. She looked at his eyes now, which seemed to equal the same amount of annoyance as her.

"Joke?" He scoffed. He moved closer towards her, her back hitting the wall before his body pressed close to her. Her breathing became shaky as his arm went next to her head, giving off the impression from the night at Minji's. He leaned in close to her, their eyes dancing around as their bodies sparked with electricity. "All this time, I've been the joke while you have played with my heart." He whispered sternly to her, and her hands moved, beginning to form a barrier between the two.

"You are the one who stirs my heart and then pushes-" Her hand movements began to become more boisterous, and he grew more frustrated as he grabbed the flaring arms and threw them against the wall. He held them there, staring at Jennie, who was in complete shock and searching for understanding.

"I warned you. Now, you've made me into the bad guy." He leaned in, smashing his lips against Jennie's lips. She was still stuck against the wall, with no way to escape from the warm grasp that held her. Her arms were held above her head, giving her no reach to escape. The strong and warm body that pinned her against the wall was not allowing the slightest bit of movement as it pressed against hers. His other hand was snaking around her waist, pulling her closer before traveling up her neck. She could feel the goosebumps and shivers that ran through her spine as he pulled her deeper into the kiss. The time the kiss lasted seemed to pass by so slowly, their lips molding around one another until he finally pulled away. His grasp on her arms didn't loosen for a moment, holding them as he stared into her eyes. Jennie was still in complete shock with what had just happened, not sure what to make of the moment.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"This means you're mine now." He whispered, looking at her a little longer before letting her arms fall to her side. He picked her hand up to pull her in closer as his hands reached around her. "I know I didn't see you first, but now I can't let you go." At this point, Jennie needed to know what he was going on about.

"Wh-What do you mean?" She stumbled on her words, getting them to make a sound after a couple of seconds finally. His breath was sharp as he breathed, his eyes staring side to side at every feature of her face.

"I mean, you're mine now. I want you." He stood his ground, using his fingertip to pull her glance at him. "Be with me instead of him." He waited for her response, but it was more of a confused and unsure look that took over her face.

"Him?" She flinched her eyebrow at the word. Kai and Jennie were now looking at each other with completely questionable glares and uncertainty that they could not even begin to explain. Jennie needed to know who he was referring to, and she was not even sure where some of this information he spewed came from. Kai was holding back his annoyance, trying to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was not trying to keep both of them. He wanted to be the only guy for her, and now it was like she was pretending not to know anything. She turned her head to the side, and he raised an eyebrow to the expression.

"Your boyfriend." The words bounced through the air, and she tried to hit it away the moment it flew out of his mouth.

"I don't have a boyfriend." The words shot out quickly, leaving them both stunned at the announcement. The confused look they shared, glancing at each other to make sure lies were not hidden away.

"Who is the guy at your home?" He asked sternly, pulling the thoughts from her brain and getting his explanation. To his surprise, Jennie looked annoyed and smiled. She looked at the face of Kai standing before her, his look turning from annoyance to curiosity. His grip on Jennie began to loosen as he couldn't help himself. "Who is he?"

"Tae is just a friend." She smiled, not being able to help how handsome he looked when he was frustrated. "He is only a childhood friend." She reassured, and his expression lightened while she tried to hide her bashful smile.

For a brief moment, they both felt silly concerning the entire situation before reality set in. They were in a classroom alone, their bodies pressed closely together, and now all frustrations were out of the way. Kai, realizing it first, picked Jennie up in his arms as he led himself to the wall. His arm touched first before he laid her back against it, his free hand resting on the back of her head. She smiled nervously at the thought of what was happening, feeling adrenaline pumping through her as his eyes flickered. In a split second, their eyes spoke to one another as her legs tightened around his waist, and her arms rested over his neck.

He pressed his lips against hers, trying to make sure he wasn't hurting her but enjoying every bit of warmth they made together. She felt her body heat against his, and her brain took a major hit of serotonin, sending her into a dream-like daze. The two of them were dancing in the energy that surrounded them, their bodies, lips, and hearts moving as one in the room. The moment was soon interrupted, a vibration signaling their hearts and minds to awake, their lips sliding away. She stared into his eyes, and he gently moved to place her legs on the ground. Jennie's arms slid from his neck, and he slowly pulled his body from hers, leaving their foreheads touching as they stared at the other's lips.

"You're really mine now." He said, taking her hand and holding it to his lips. She smiled, bending down to pick up the note that had fallen to the ground from when she originally tried to hand it to him. He reached down, beating her to the note and shaking his head as he thought of his foolish moment. He landed on the chair, looking up at her and admiring her face as he realized that they were still in the classroom.

"Why don't we grab something to eat after I get out of class?" He smiled at her, and she soon made a face of realization.

"Oh, no. I needed to meet Minji." She had completely forgotten, beginning to freak out as she made a motion to move, but his hold was still on her. "Here, how about you can come over for a bit this afternoon." Her classes for the day were completed, and she didn't want to miss lunch with Minji. Although she did have to do laundry later on, it would give her and Kai an opportunity to make up for the ruined lunch date. She made a move to grab her things before he completely held on to her, giving her a small smile.

"Let's just have our date now. That way, I don't take time away from Minji." His eyes looked into hers deeply, scanning for the slightest notion of what she was thinking. The thought flashed across her mind, thinking about what she should tell Minji and whether she should let him skip class. The moment that she had thought about her decision and was ready, he stood up and dropped her hand. "Grab your things."

"Huh?" She was confused about why he stood up, interrupting the decision that she was trying to make.

"Let's go." He packed his textbook and notebook before swinging his backpack over his shoulder, waiting for Jennie.

"Now?" She was bending down to pick up her backpack, turning to see his greeting face at the door, waiting on her.

"Come on." He was smiling softly and pulling the handle to the door, allowing Jennie to walk through first before he began exiting.
