Chapter 29

                                    

                                          


                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          

I wore the pigtails San made with my hair the rest of the weekend and when Monday strolled around I made them new.
Walking into the school I saw Jongho and Yeosang standing at my locker as they talked about something.
With a smile I skipped over to them and soon enough they saw me and Yeosang took me by surprise as he pulled his arms around me for a hug.
The blond parted from me with a kiss on my cheek and then Jongho greeted me with a smile and a fatherly kiss on my nose. 
My ears burned and I looked down with a visible blush. Shaking it off I turned to my locker and took all my things, ignoring the amused look Yeosang and Jongho shared. 
I shut my locker and turned to them with a sulk "Stop that." I said but the two boys now completely turned to me and showed me their cocky smiles. 
"Stop what?" Yeosang acted oblivious with a ríase of his perfect eyebrows. 

"You know exactly what. This stupid smiles, you look like you've just won a prize or something." I said and began walking to class, Yeosang and Jongho instinctively following me. 

"Maybe we did." Jongho shrugged. 

"You still blush after everything that's already happened and that we've done." Yeosang spoke "It's cute. And not gonna lie, it makes us proud." 

"Boys." I shook my head, wondering how they could feel proud just because I was blushing. Yeah sure, they were the reason. But I do it all the time so how proud could they possibly feel?? 

When we walked into class I saw the others already by their seats. They greeted us and soon the teacher walked in and started the class. 

Time went by painfully slow as Mrs. Lee talked and I put my cheek on my palm in boredom. 
I slightly jumped in surprise when I felt Mingi putting his hand on my shoulder and he ran it up and down my back. 

"Wanna come to Hongjoong's today?" He whispered in my ear, careful to not get the teacher's attention. 

I was about to say yes, but then I remembered that today would be my first tutoring lesson. 
"I can't today. I'm sorry." I whispered back and noticed how the others had listened in and got confused because of my answer. 

"What, why?" Seongwha whispered a bit harshly in irritation. Usually I always came with them, wherever they dragged me. Today was the first time since we've become close, that I rejected their invitation. 
Maybe that's why they're reacting that way? Because they think I'm going back to hold habits and don't want to have anything to do with them. But that's not true. 

"I have tutoring after school." I explained briefly. 

"Tutoring? Since when do you need tutoring?" Hongjoong asked bewildered.
