Chapter Eight: Suicide

Suicide. I’m going to commit suicide if this goes on any longer. I can’t stand Jung Ho’s annoyance! Yes, I’m in detention right now sitting in front of Ms. Kim just eating my food and writing this down actually. I’m going to commit suicide. It’s only been a few days, but I will. I have never actually thought about it, but this would be a great reason to do it…

Argh, getting off subject. I need to be doing my work…

Dazing off again. Thinking of other things. Entrance exams are soon! Ahh! Which class to be in next year? Hopefully Class 4-A, like I have been since grade school. But, anyways…

Wham! A wad of paper bounced off my head and landed on the floor next to my foot. “Yah!” I yelled and looked outside. It was Jung Ho. He smiled and waved, and then went off somewhere I guess.

“Ms. Yoon. Is there something wrong now?” Ms. Kim asked.

“No…”

“Then stop flirting with Mr. Lee please.”

“What?! Flirting?!”

“Don’t raise that tone of voice with me!”

“Sorry ma’am…” I said. She continued reading her book as I looked down at the wad of paper. Jung Ho peeked his head back in and pointed to the paper. I glared at him and flicked him off. He just smiled and left. I picked up the stupid ball of paper and opened it. It, of course, was crinkled and had some very terrible handwriting on it.

Meet me in the parking lot when you’re done sweetie. <3

- Jung Ho

You’ve got to be kidding me. This guy is actually pretty odd, come to think of it… But still he keeps his image as the hottest guy with his fine masculinity and amazing facial features. And I love his hair, if that’s one thing I’d have to admit about the that I liked, it was his hair. Most definitely… Wait, parking lot?! What now…? Must I go? Do I really have to? I debated for awhile and wanted to see what The Annoyance had in mind… Ms. Kim fell asleep and there was still 10 minutes left of lunch. I decided that since I was somewhat bad already that skipping the last ten minutes of detention wouldn’t be too bad. I quietly snuck out of the classroom and into the noisy hallway as kids were finishing up lunch or coming back from dining out. I dragged myself out into the parking lot where it was pretty cold since winter was just about to end and spring was going to start the next month.

“Jung Ho. What do you want?” I asked as I walked over to him. He took me and hugged me. “AHH! Put me down!”

“Oh, I’m glad you came. Here,” he said and pulled out an orange.

“… An orange…?”

“I thought your favorite fruit was orange.”

“No. My favorites are banana and mango.”

“Oh, favorite color?”

“You’re right on that,” I sighed.

“Here," he offered.

“I don’t want it.”

“Take it.”

“I don’t want it.”

“Just take it.”

“I don’t want it.”

“Please," he begged.

“No," I replied.

“Please?”

“Is this a trick to getting me to say I’ll be your girlfriend or something?”

“No…” he began. I glared at him and he confessed, “Yes.”

“How does this get me to say yes?”

“If you accept this orange, then you accept my proposal to be your boyfriend.”

“Proposal?! Sounds like marriage. Glad I didn’t take it then.”

“Well, now you know, will you take it?” he smiled.

“No.”

“Please?”

“No.”

“Ji Eun!!”

“Jung Ho, I said no. I have said no, and will continue to say no.”

“I really like you.”

“That’s nice. You like a lot of girls I’m sure.”

“But I really like you,” he smiled and tried to give me orange again. I pushed it away.

“No. I’m going now.”

“Where?”

“To commit suicide," I sighed.

“What?!”

“You’re annoying. I can’t stand it. I’ll see you in the after life… Maybe I’ll haunt you or something,” I laughed sarcastically and began walking away.

“No!! Ji Eun! Stay please. I won’t bother you anymore.”

“Really?”

“Well, I don’t know about that…”

“Suicide.”

“I’ll tell Ji Sung.”

“You wouldn’t.”

“Watch me!” he grinned.

“Fine! I wont commit suicide, but I am getting away from you.”

“Why?”

“Shut up. Class starts in a few minutes. I can’t be late. Ms. Kim already hates me.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll see you later sweetie!” he grinned and watched me as I walked off to my class. Kill me now, please kill me. I’m going to kill myself if you won’t. I’ll do it, I swear.

*********A few days later:

“Ji Eun! Ji Eun!” the voice of Jung Ho called from behind. I was with Jae Wook and Tae Hoon.

“Hey, Ji Eun, Jung Ho is calling for you,” Jae Wook pointed out.

“Yeah, I hear him, but I’m ignoring him.”

“Ji Eun!” Jung Ho yelled even louder.

“He’s coming,” Jae Wook mentioned.

“Yeah, he’s pretty fast…” Tae Hoon added. “And he’s---,”

“Ji Eun!” Jung Ho exclaimed while picking me up and twirled me around.

“Yes?” I asked.

“I know that they might not be special because I didn’t make them, but here. I made Ji Hye make these for you,” he smiled and handed me a bag of cookies with my name on them.

“Jung Ho, is this another trick again?” I asked.

“I want you to accept my proposal to be your boyfriend.”

“I said no.”

“Just give me a chance. Everyone’s dieing to be with me,” he smiled showing his perfect teeth.

“You’re so conceited,” Tae Hoon rolled his eyes.

“Jealous?” Jung Ho asked Tae Hoon.

“No. Why would I be?”

“Because I’m popular and I have the looks that you don’t.”

“Shut up both of you. Please leave Jung Ho.”

“Need a ride home?”

“I do!” Jae Wook giggled.

“Not you!” he retorted.

“No I don’t. I’m leaving. Bye,” I waved and began walking away. Jung Ho grabbed me and pulled me back and tried to kiss me. His face aimed towards mine but I dodged it and he hit his arm.

“AHH!!” he yelled. “You…”

“Yes, I dodged your kiss and you hit yourself,” I laughed.

“Why the hell…” he said sternly.

“Okay hate me now,” I grinned. “I’m going home now…”

“Oh, I don’t hate you. I don’t think I could," he replied.

“Argh. I’m going.”

“You don’t need a ride?”

. “I have a car. I can drive… Let’s go guys," I said.

“Fine…”

“Bye!” I waved and went off with Jae Wook and Tae Hoon.

“Does he keep bothering you?” Tae Hoon asked.

“Yeah, forget about it. I’ll deal with him myself…” I sighed.

“I’ll beat his a** up for you if you want,” he suggested.

“Tae Hoon, I’ve already told you that he’s bigger than you and will definitely beat you up before you can even touch him. Haven’t we gone over this?”

“Yeah, she’s got a point,” Jae Wook added.

“Yeah, whatever. I’m just trying to be a friend…” Tae Hoon sighed.

“I know, thanks though,” I smiled.
