CHAPTER 9 - "Who's that hottie?"★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★
"I swear I'm fine!"
Just a few days after everything had happened, you were back in college. It had been good to just lay down and take some time to think, but the fact you were home without anything to do made you get flashbacks of all you had been through. Your class had just ended and you were walking to the next classroom where you'd have contract law but you weren't alone, Sanghoon and his sister Jisoo were nagging you asking you if we were alright every damn 5 minutes.
"Guys, I've been through hell and now I just want to go back to my normal life and try to forget what happened" You exclaimed, emphasizing the last part. You didn't want them to feel bad about you or to treat you like you were sick.
"Well, we just want you to know that we're here for you" Sanghoon smacked your head playfully.
"Yah! Stop it" You smacked him back "I just want to say I learned how to suffocate someone so you better be careful what you say from now on"
You saw his brown eyes widen while he quickly put his arms up surrendering "Hm... I don't know how to feel after that information"
"Do you two do anything besides arguing?" Jisoo rolled her eyes, tired of hearing the bickering, she intertwined her arms with yours "Let's just celebrate the fact Y/N is back with us. After class, we should go get ice cream!"
"Yes!!" You shouted happily and she started jumping. The people around you give you weird looks.
"Do you guys forget you aren't teenagers anymore?" Sanghoon spoke, shaking his head in disapproval.
"Says the one who still plays Sims 3-" His sister winked, clearly teasing him.
"You-" He hissed before turning his heels and walking faster, hiding in shame.
"Y/N" She turned to face you, her voice tone changing drastically "I just wanted to admit something to you, when you were gone Sanghoon couldn't sleep nor eat. He distributed flyers around town to see if anyone had seen you. You know he's terrible at expressing his feelings but he cares for you deeply and he'd do anything to help you"
You watched as his tall frame kept walking, his luscious brown hair moving with his steps. Sanghoon and Jisoo had been the ones who helped you get through the loss of your mom and they were your best friends.
If anything happened to them you'd be completely frightened so you couldn't even imagine how they felt during the days you went missing.
You quickly hugged Jisoo "I know. He doesn't express a lot but I know how he feels and also how you feel. Did you get any sleep during those days?"
"Nope" She replied and you chuckled, hugging her even more tightly.
The final class of the day finally came to an end and you were super excited to go get some ice cream and go to the park you three usually go next to the campus.
"This class absolutely sucks!" Jisoo sighed, grabbing her hair "The professor only reads the powerpoints and refuses to add any more useful information, I could read these at home and do a better job"
"Uhh, someone's mad" Her brother teased her as he watched her sending a threatening look his way.
"Are you going to tell me it's not true?"
You laughed at their bickering, looking around the building you realized how much you had just been in college was lifting your spirit. Just the fact you weren't home having time to recall what had happened was making you happy, plus you had missed your friends so much.
As you made your way towards the exit, whispers and giggles started.
"Who's that next to that black BMW?"
"Is he a new professor?! Please tell me he is"
"I hope so because he's super hot and all we have is old men as professors"
Jisoo and you looked at each other confused, watching as the girls glanced to the parking lot through the big glass windows.
"Do we have a new professor?" She asked as she pushed you towards the big window "Oh wow, he really is handsome!"
"You girls..." Sanghoon rolled his eyes "Where is the guy?"
"There" His sister pointed at someone who was leaning against their car, their hands inside the jacket's pockets while they looked at the building, admiring it. When your eyes focused on the person, you thought they were deceiving you but you were far wrong.
"No way..." You spoke incredulously, making your friends look at you with arched eyebrows.
With his long black hair, he was standing there glancing at his watch as if he was waiting for something. He was wearing a dark blue dress jacket while the white t-shirt underneath it made the whole look more comfortable and less formal, you could tell even from far that he watched cost more than your old car.
"Dongwook..." You whispered.
"You know that hottie?" Jisoo grabbed your arm, forcing you to look at her. She was smirking as you looked between her and the man on the other side of the glass.
"He's Captain Lee the one who-" You tried to explain but she interrupted you.
"The one you were stuck with for three days?! He's that one?" She quickly said her dumbfound expression almost making you chuckle. You glanced outside to see Dongwook speaking on the phone, whatever he was talking about clearly making his anger rise by the way the veins on his forehead became noticeable.
"That one, but I don't know why he is here-"
"Are you for real? He's clearly here to see how you're doing. Why would a police officer be in front of a college in the middle of the day?" She arched her eyebrow, trying to prove her point.
"I guess so..."
"Let's say hi to him, I want to thank him for protecting you" Sanghoon who had been very quiet until now looked through the window as he spoke, a firm look on his face.
When you got out of the building with Jisoo still clutching your arm, the Captain finally noticed your presence and he was quick to wave at you not knowing you were already aware he was there.
"Hi!" You told him shyly, surprised at yourself at your own tone.
"Hello, I'm sorry for showing up without notice but I wanted to see how you were doing after everything" His white teeth flashing you while some expression wrinkles showed up as he smiled.
"Oh, I'm doing good! I've been distracting myself with college and my friends. This is Jisoo and Sanghoon by the way" You pointed at each one of them, Jisoo bowed at him, showing a sweet smile while Sanghoon bowed quietly.
"That's good! I just ended my shift I was wondering if you'd like to get some coffee?" Dongwook asked you as you saw some girls purposely walking closer to his car so they could get a better look at it. You were about to turn down his offer since you had already agreed to get some ice cream when Jisoo started talking.
"She would love to!" She exclaimed, pushing you with force, almost making you stumble as you got closer to Dongwook.
"What, no we were going to-" Sanghoon started to grumble but his sister quickly grabbed his face, making him stop talking.
"Yes, my brother and I were going home to help our mom so you guys go ahead and have some coffee. See you tomorrow, Y/N" She gave you a quick hug, giving you a discreet wink before she turned to the side, facing the captain "It was nice to meet you, Captain. We heard a lot about you"
"I hope only good things" He laughed "Nice to meet you both too"
Before Sanghoon could even protest, Jisoo was already dragging him to his car. Leaving you alone with Dongwook.
"Shall we go?" He asked and you nodded and he proceeded to open the door for you, putting his hand on the top of the car to make sure you wouldn't hit your head on it.
Wow, he's such a gentleman. You thought to yourself.
Before driving away, he asked you where you wanted to go. You told him about one of your favorite coffee shops not too far away from your college. He nodded and pressed the gas pedal, the silence between you two making you slightly uncomfortable.
You tried your best to distract yourself by looking at the view in front of you but for some reason, you were extremely nervous. The palm of your hands was sweating and you wanted to smack yourself for feeling like this.
You wondered if he was sweating too so you looked at his hand that was holding the manual gear shifter, his hand was big and he had very long fingers, covering the gear shifter entirely while he gripped it strongly making his veins pop up more.
What the fuck am I thinking?!
You blushed involuntarily, swearing at yourself for noticing such a thing.
"Are you hot? I can turn the air conditioner on" He asked, turning his head to face you for a second before focusing on the road before smiling genuinely and turning it on, not even knowing the real reason why you were red.
