You hate him. You absolutely despise Kim Donghyun. The cliched “popular guy” who is coincidentally both prettier than everyone combined and a genius at everything he does.
Needless to say, he was a big hit within the female population of the school. Everyone except you loved him and probably won’t hesitate to say that he is their crush.
At least one girl confess to him each and every day, and his reply would always undoubtedly be, “no sorry, there’s already someone i have my eyes on”.
The girls will squeal and fangirl for the rest of the day. Sometimes I truly wonder if the girls wanted to confess or just wanted to hear that one line. But you didn’t care, there was nothing for you to worry about since you and him had absolutely no connections.
But oh, you were so wrong.
Donghyun walked straight to you at lunch, casually sitting opposite of you. You thought nothing of it at first, thinking he was going to leave.
He doesn’t.
He’s been sitting there for the past twenty minutes and you were finishing your food.
You finally decides to look at him, boredom painted your features as you ask him why he was sitting there.
He looked at you, a lopsided grin plastered on his face.
“Oh nothing, just looking at my girlfriend eat, thats all.”
You stared back at him, eyes wide from the shock while the cafeteria erupted into various screams and cries.
You were about to run and strangle him to death, when he beat you to it. Grabbing your wrist, he casually pulled you up, and walked out the cafeteria.
“I know you don’t like me, and I know what I did was.. unnecessary.” he looked at you, his sincerity apparent in the way he worded it.
“But i really do like you.. a lot.. haven’t you ever wondered why I rejected everyone that confessed to me and how I only tease you?”
“No.. no i haven’t.. and I’m sorry but I guess its because I like you so much to the point where I don’t want to admit..”
You couldn’t ignore the immediate effect that had on Donghyun, his eyes glittering and sparkling with hope. His entire being seemed to grow taller as he corrected his previous slumped position.
“So.. let’s formally introduce ourselves again, hi. I’m Kim Donghyun and I’m so hopelessly in love with you.”
You couldn’t stop the corners of your lips that tugged up as you cheekily replied with a “I’m y/n, and I may be in love with you too.”
[ water bomb ] “h-hey! stop-!” you screeched while another water balloon hit your legs. you were soaked from head to toe at this point, but it was fine because you were having fun.
as much horrifyingly ear piercing screaming there is.
you glared at donghyun, your eyes letting out all your anger. your very gaze told donghyun exactly what you wanted to, for him to stop the balloons for now.
you walked over to the table where there were drinks served.
“hey you want some lemonade?” you casually offered. donghyun just stood there, dazed. you slowly went back to him, snapping your fingers in front of him a couple times, hoping he would be more responsive.
“donghyun, you ok?” your brows were furrowed and you were very worried, you’ve never seen him this still before, not counting the times when you would watch him sleep.
without saying anything, donghyun embraced you in a hug, and he whispered to your ear.
“i love you, y/n. so much.” before you could say anything he continued, “it’s going to rain soon, go back in and change into some dry clothes.”
you were about to ask how he knew, but before you could open your mouth, a distant thunder was heard and you immediately shut your mouth, darting back into the house.
[ savior ] “why? why did you make me love you so much and then break my heart? why are you leaving me behind? what did i do wrong?”
she looked up at him frantically, every cell in her body screaming, begging, for him to stay.
“i’m sorry. it was just what he asked for. i was just doing my job.” donghyun looked back at the girl. he was used to this. to have girls around him break down like this. to have them bawling their eyes out hoping for him to stay.
but he can’t.
afterall, her ex only requested for him to get her to fall for him. and that he would reject her in the most ruthless way possible.
for what purpose he does not know. he would rather not know. he only needed the money. if he knew the truth, his heart and conscience won’t let him continue whatever he’s doing.
it was already hard for him to take jobs like these. but his family needed him. and he would and will always choose his family over everything.
but deep down inside of him he knew he was lying. he knew he cared for her, he knew he loved her. but he can’t.
he can’t fail the mission.
kim donghyun has never failed before, and he’s not planning to this time.
“i only need the money and i do not care or worry about her.” he muttered under his breath, seemingly trying to convince himself and his rebellious heart that he was right.
“she does not mean anything to me.”
and with that, he left. he walked straight out the door, not daring to look back at the girl. her whimpers and cries echoing inside his head.
sitting on the floor, was donghyun’s light, his escape, his universe, his savior. now, she is nothing but a beautiful dream that was meant to be forgotten.
