Twelve (1/1)

If you randomly asked any Chul Moo High’s students : who is the most famous student there, they would quickly answer Yang Seung Ho. Then they continued describing him as the most outrageous, peevish, rude and mostly-would-love-to-be-killed; especially among the male students. While the female students would describe him in the opposite ways. Yes, Yang Seung Ho had dual personalities that made him got a love-hate relationship between him and his colleagues.But if you asked them : do you know Lee Joon ?, they would stare at you with blank expression and think you have uninteresting personality. It’s not because Lee Joon had a bad reputation in school, but he’s just so...ordinary. If you saw someone walked on the hallway alone while holding his books tightly on his chest, it might be Lee Joon. If you saw somebody removed garlics from his lunch, it would be Lee Joon. But you would never notice him, because he’s just an ordinary boy.Lee Joon, the 17 years old boy, knew that he was nothing compared to the popular kids in his school. Coming from average parents who have ordinary life : go to work, cooking, taking care of their children, gossiping with neighbours, having a vacation at the end of the year, Joon realized he might be ended up as nobody when he’s becoming an adult in three or four years. His grade was average, some girls said he looks cute yet foolish, not passionate about anything. He’s lucky he had great friends like Hae Won and Ji Yeon.But that morning, when he met his best friends, Joon realized he didn’t want to be unnoticed anymore.When he entered the classroom that day, he noticed something’s wrong happened to Hae Won. Ji Yeon was there too. Both of them giggled together at the corner of the room, and Joon saw Hae Won’s face was glowing. They didn’t met for a day but it seemed she had changed a little.“What’s up,” Joon greeted the girls but got ignored. He repeated, “Hello there ?!”“Ah hello, Joon, good morning,” Ji Yeon replied, but quickly turned her head to Hae Won again. They whispered closely so Joon couldn’t hear what they’re saying to each other.“What’s new ?!” Joon asked again.“Nothing,” Ji Yeon hesitantly replied. “It’s about Hae Won had a date with Wang Ju’s student last night. and it was so sweet !!”“Wang Ju ? That private school ?” Joon’s question was followed by the girls’ explanation about what happened last night. His ears felt like burning listening to that cheesy story. Girls, always told the drama version of the real story. Joon pouted at them, showing how bored he was.After they finished talking, Hae Won asked Joon, “So, what do you think ?”“About what ?” Joon asked her back lazily.“Ya, I was telling you about my date just because you asked me too. If you’re not interested, why bothered yourself to ask ?!” Hae Won complained.“Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way,” Joon leant back on his chair. “But it’s just...isn’t Wang Ju’s student too high for you ?”Ji Yeon bulged out her eyes because of Joon’s last words, “Ya...Joon-ah...”“What...do you mean...he’s too high for me... ?” Hae Won grinned her teeth, tried hard to hold her anger.With his innocent face, Joon explained his reason clearly without feeling guilty at all, “Wang Ju High is a top private school here, most of the students are from rich family or famous parents. Although our school is great, it’s not even on the top five...I mean, what will people say if you two are actually dating ?”Ji Yeon whispered a curse to the air, hoping she could beat that boy in front of her.Hae Won whose jaw already dropped to the floor, couldn’t believe she would hear such words from her best friend. She understood Joon was just telling his sincere opinion, but he chose a wrong time to ruin her mood. She suddenly stood up and started yelling at Joon, “Ya, who are you telling me who should I date or that guy is too high for me ?! He likes me and I like him too ! You have no right to set my standard or judging me that I’m not good enough for him--”“Hae Won-ah, that’s not what I meant...” Joon realized he was too much toward her, but it’s too late.“Just shut up, talk to me after you stop being a douche,” Hae Won left her desk and walked out.Ji Yeon followed her and threw two words to Joon, “You jerk...”Finally realized his own stupidity, Joon could only put his head on the desk and wrapped it with his arms. He honestly didn’t mean to say hateful comments at her, it came out on its own will. Maybe he spitted those words because he couldn’t stand seeing her with another guy anymore.*Lee Joon met Hae Won for the first time at the school ceremony. He had this bad body’s coordination that he stumbled lots of time to the ground when he was younger. Everybody around him usually laughed at him without having  a will to hold him up. Until Kim Hae Won, this stranger girl he never knew, came and held  his hand. She smiled prettily toward him after Joon said his gratefulness.Starting from that moment, Joon noticed what a nice girl she was. They’re in the same classroom and Hae Won was the first student who remembered her classmates’ name, all of them. They met in the library and Hae Won told him some great books for Joon to be read. She even sat next to Joon when nobody’s there. They became close naturally and Joon never felt alone anymore.But as the time passed by, as a young teenage boy, Joon couldn’t hide himself that he wanted more. He restrained himself but sometimes his mind told him the opposite ways. He realized if Hae Won noticed his feelings, they would become awkward toward each other and ruin their friendship which had been built along that time. Joon loved to be around her, and he knew Hae Won needed him sometimes.Those thought had been circling inside his mind. He even couldn’t concentrate at the game he was playing with Ji Yeon that afternoon. Both of them were relaxing inside Ji Yeon’s room while playing the arcade game together.Realized her strongest opponent suddenly became weak, Ji Yeon knew something had been bothered Joon’s mind that day. She pushed the restart button on her controller and gave the other one to Joon, but he rejected it.“What’s wrong with you ? Come on, let’s play !” Ji Yeon asked him to join, but Joon refused. “What is it ? Tell me.”Joon shook his head and kept staring at the ceiling. He even rolled himself and childishly kicked his feet to the floor.“Ya, tell me already !” Ji Yeon tapped Joon’s back, making the boy throwing an innocent gaze at her. Ji Yeon felt her blood suddenly rushed faster through her veins. “Now, talk !!”“Ji Yeon-ah,” Joon started, “Have you kissed someone before ?”“WHAT ?! WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT ?!” Ji Yeon could feel her face was on fire. The sudden question made her more nervous around him. “Ya, Lee Joon, you’re weird !!”He backed himself on the rug and talked to Ji Yeon without facing her, “it’s...this girl...”Her shoulders slumped as Joon started talking. As a friend, Ji Yeon had no other choice than listened to what he said, although her heart was a bit crushed. “You...met someone ?”Joon couldn’t tell Ji Yeon who’s the girl they’re talking about. Ji Yeon might be hate him for having a feeling toward Hae Won. So he replied, “Yes...I’ve been thinking about her for a while and can’t get rid of her out of my mind. Everytime I close my eyes, her image becomes clearer and my heart starts pounding...I think I’m in love.”“So...you want to become closer to her ?” Ji Yeon gulped. “And you attempt to kiss her ?”“It’s weird, right ?” Joon hid his face behind his palms. “It doesn’t mean I want to kiss her immediately, it sounds so aggresive, but I was wondering what it feels like to kiss a girl...since I have no experience at all—”“Do you want to practice ?”Joon immediately sat down because of Ji Yeon’s sudden question. “What did you say ?!”“ I dated some guys before, so in this case I have more experience than you,” Ji Yeon continued. “I can teach you some simple steps...we’re friends, so there’s no special feelings involved.”“It is, but it’s weird to kiss you,” Joon tried to reject it.“No it’s not,” Ji Yeon crawled to Joon and all of the sudden she already put his face between her palms. “Now, just look forward or you can stare at my eyes. You can tilt your head slowly. Then start moving forward...”Their faces were so close to each other. Ji Yeon still held Joon’s head and gave a little gap of time between them. “Now close your eyes, and move closer. A guy should lead the way, don’t let the girls tell you what to do between the kiss.”“But you’re doing it now,” Joon talked back.“Shut up !!”After Joon finally closed his eyes, Ji Yeon bent down and landed a gentle kiss on his lips. The innocent boy just sat there and let Ji Yeon kissing him deeper. She pushed him a little bit to the wall but Joon still didn’t reply her kiss back. Couldn’t get what she wanted, Ji Yeon decided to release herself from him and told him the last step of the short lesson, “If she kisses you back, it means she loves you too.”Ji Yeon knew it was not right to use him for her own purpose. At least, she owned Joon’s first kiss. --sorry for the late update...got writer's block T.Tanyway, would you check out my new boyxboy fanfic ? :D It's called "You and I Are Fiction"haven't posted any chapter, still working on it ^^
