Busted (1/1)
You were contemplating the whole night about whether you should reveal the truth to Donghae. You were doing the household chores assigned to you when Donghae came out of his room and met you by the corridor. There was awkward tension in the air and you tried your best to ignore him. *Should I tell him the truth now?* You shook your head mentally. *Nevermind, I'll wait till tomorrow.*Donghae opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but hastily closed it when he saw you ignoring him. *I'll try talking to her tomorrow.* With that, he walked back into the room and closed the door.The next morning, there was the same awkward atmosphere, but the both of you tolerated it and tried waiving it away. As usual, the both of you took the same car to school and again Donghae led you to class. Without a doubt, IU was standing by the corner smirking and glaring at you. *You still don't want to listen to me huh? I'll let you know what price you have to pay.* 'Brrrrrrrrrng!'School ended and everyone was streaming out of their classes. Donghae was thinking of you the whole day and immediately headed to your classroom to confront you again about what was bothering you. *I just can't stand not knowing why she keeps avoiding me.*On the other hand, IU and her posse were making their way to your classroom at the same time. IU already had a whole plan and was just waiting to execute it. It wasn't a fancy plan, all she wanted to do was to beat you up just to teach you a lesson. As soon as she saw you were one of the only few people left in class, she strutted in."So I see you have not headed my advice of staying away from Donghae." IU crossed her arms and stomped right in front of you.You stood up defensively. "I have, I haven't talked to him in days for your information." You took your bag and tried leaving."Wait, hold it." IU blocked you. "Who said I'll let you off that easily? I saw Donghae bringing you to class this morning and you still dare say you have been avoiding him?" IU scoffed. "Girls, start."The girls behind her walked forward with their noses up high and with confident smirks on their faces. "You ready ~~~~~?" The first girl raised her fist high up to punch you. *Please let me survive!* You shut your eyes tightly and just waited for the blow to reach your face. But it never came."You lay a finger on her and YOU'RE dead." Donghae growled.You slowly opened your eyes to see a fuming mad Donghae right in front of your eyes, grabbing the girl's arm by the wrist. You glanced over and saw IU's eyes completely wide opened and she was trembling. "G-g-g-girls, let's go." She stuttered. IU and her posse rushed for the door and ran away.Your shoulders slumped in relief and you stared blankly into space."~~~~~~, you alright?" You continued staring into space. "~~~~~!!" You broke your stare and glanced over to look at him."Y-yeah I'm alright. Thank you Donghae oppa." You gave a weak smile.Donghae stepped towards you and stared caringly into your eyes. "Was this why you kept avoiding me? Why didn't you tell me, ~~~~~?""I wanted to, but IU warned me not to. And I was planning to tell you the truth today, but before I could, this happened. I'm sorry Donghae oppa, but I was really troubled and in a dilemma of whether I should tell you or not. I should've trusted you and just told you right from the beginning..."Donghae softened. "It's alright, I understand why you didn't tell me. But just know that they won't bother you anymore, and so don't ignore me anymore either, ok?" He smiled at you encouragingly.You smiled back and nodded. *Thank you Donghae oppa.*Donghae held your wrist and led you out of class to head home. He was ecstatic. *Thank you for remembering to call me oppa!*
