Chapter One

Bold means they are talking in English : )

Taeyeon's POV

"You lost Taengoo. Now, for the rest of your senior year in University, you have to dressas a guy," my playful and annoying brother, Jiwoong, said with a smirk.

That, was how I became a guy by force. I looked at myself in the mirror and scowled.Why did I agree to the bet? This was my first time in Korea after living in England for

twenty two years. Now, being twenty three, I was in Korea to finish of my universitystudies. I was lucky that my Korean is really fluent. Other than that, I can also speakfluent English but I rarely use it.

"Taeyeon unnie, are you done yet?" my favourite cousin, Sulli, asked. I felt sorry fordragging her into my situation but she told me it was alright. She told me that as long asI was with her, everything would be fine.

After putting on the blazer, I left my room and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Myparents smiled at me while my annoying brother grinned widely at me. "Morning ummaand appa," I greeted and stuck my tongue out at Jiwoong. Sulli finally came down andshe gave a peck on my cheek.

"Morning Ssul," I said and hugged her.

"Why didn't you greet me? I'm your oppa or should I say hyung?" Jiwoong whined butthen smirked.

"Good morning Jiwoong hyung," I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

"Stop it you two. Taengoo, Sulli, you both look really handsome in the uniform," myfather, Kim KangIn, said. "Let's eat breakfast now. You don't want to be late for your firstday right?"

After breakfast, Sulli and I left the house or should I say mansion. None of the people inKorea knew that I was the daughter of the famous Kim so I had to act normal. Myparents did not want to put any burden on me so I was thankful of that. Handing ahelmet to Sulli, the both of us put on our helmets. I got on the bike first and Sulli satbehind me. She put her hands on my shoulder and I drove off to school.

After parking the bike, Sulli and I entered the front door and went straight to theprincipal's office. We bowed at the principal and stood awkwardly in front of her. Byreading her nametag, I think I was supposed to address her as Principal Ahn. "Take asit, Mr Kim and Mr Choi," she instructed us. The both of us nodded her head and took asit.

"Here's your schedule Mr Kim. Jang Wooyoung will be showing you around the school,"Principal Ahn told me. "And Mr Choi, here's your schedule. Since you're a freshman,second year student Choi Minho will show you around."

"Thank you Principal Ahn," Sulli and I said. We bowed at her once again and left theroom. Two guys were standing in front of us and they had a smile on their face. "I amJang Wooyoung. Which one of you is Kim Taeyeon?" the tall, blond, guy asked andshowed a charming smile. I took a step forward and bowed at him.

"I'm Kim Taeyeon," I answered.

The guy, Wooyoung, put his arm around me and started showing me around. I turnedaround and smiled sadly at Sulli before I walked away with Wooyoung.


3/257

Jang Wooyoung is a nice guy. He was down-to-earth and friendly. I met a few of hisfriends and made friends with some of them. We walked to the lecture room togetherand on cue, the lecturer entered the room as well. He gave me a nod and told me tostand in front to introduce myself.

"My name is Kim Taeyeon and I come from England. Please take care of me," Iintroduced myself and bowed. The girls started squealing and some of the boys lookedat me with jealousy. I need to get use with this.

"Please take a sit beside Miss Hwang and we will begin the lecture soon," Mr Shin saidand pointed at the empty seat beside a sleeping girl. I tilted my head and girls startedsquealing again. I made my way to my seat and put my books on the table. I saw

Wooyoung looking at me and I mouthed to him that I was alright. I sat down and couldnot help to feel curious of the girl beside me.

"Err...miss," I said and shook her body. "The lecture is starting soon. Please wake up?" Isaid nicely.

"Fuck off ," she said in English. She did not move from her position though.

"What the...? That is extremely rude!" I screamed in my head. I pouted and faced thefront, not bothering to talk to her again.

Halfway through the lecture, the girl woke up and groaned. I diverted my attention to herand I have to say, she was really pretty like an angel. Wait, I'm straight. I should not bedescribing her like that! She saw me looking at her and I quickly look away. "Why is

this midget sitting beside me?" I heard her mutter. I clenched my jaw and ignoredher. She stood up and asked Mr Shin, "What is he doing beside me? Didn't I say I wantto sit alone?"

"Settle down Miss Hwang. Mr Kim is a new student and the only empty seat is besideyou," replied Mr Shin monotonously. Looks like he was used to it.


4/257

"Why can he sit beside me and not Taecyeon?" she scowled.

"I don't want you two to be making out while I'm teaching," Mr Shin said. "Now settledown. You're wasting my time."

She glared at me and grabbed her bag. She left the room and no one bothered abouther. I shrugged and went back to listening to the lecture. I don't think that it will be easymaking friends with her like how it was easy to make friends with Wooyoung. She musthave a problem at home or maybe herself. "No matter what, I'm going to make friendswith her," I said to myself. "Taengoo fighting~!"

Sulli's POV

After Wooyoung oppa dragged my cousin away, Minho oppa looked at me and smiled."Jinri right?" he said. I nodded my head and he smiled once again. "Call me Minhohyung alright? Hope we can be friends," he said and pulled his hand out for ahandshake. I shook his hand and he started showing me around the place.

"Help me! My scary sister is chasing after me! I'm too young to die!" someone shouted. Isaw her holding what it looked like a cucumber and saw two people running behind her.Minho oppa grabbed Krystal's hand and stopped the other two girls. "Yah Minho! Whatdid I tell you about stopping me?" the blonde asked.

"I'm sorry noona but aren't you too harsh on Krystal?" Minho oppa asked a questionback.

I felt my heart skipped a beat when I saw the girl, Krystal, looking at me. I smiled slightlyat her and looked back at Minho oppa talking to the blonde. "Class is starting Jessi.Forget about it," the brunette, who was running along with them, spoke. The blondeglared at Minho oppa and Krystal and walked away. The brunette apologized to us andfollowed her friend.


5/257

"Jinri, this is Krystal Jung. She is in the same course as you. Would you mind taking herto class, Krys?" Minho oppa introduced me to Krystal. The latter grinned at me andlinked her arm with mine. "See you later Jinri," Minho oppa said and smiled before

leaving. I felt my cheeks heating up and I breathed in and out a few times.

"Shall we go now Jinri? It's funny your name sounds like a girl," Krystal giggled.

I rubbed my neck awkwardly and shrugged. "But I don't care because you are cute," shecontinued. She left me speechless and pulled me all the way to the lecture hall which Idreaded to go to.

--

All of us were finally dismissed and I was waiting for Taeyeon unnie with Minho oppa.Once I saw Taeyeon unnie, I waved at her and she ran towards me giving me a hug. Isaw Minho oppa looking at us weirdly and I pushed Taeyeon unnie away. She grinnedat me and said, "Wooyoung asked us out for lunch. Let's go!"

Chapter Two

Taeyeon's POV

Wooyoung and Minho were riding in a car while Sulli and I were of course riding on myprecious bike. I got the bike recently and I cherished it a lot. I did not know why but Iprefer bikes than cars. After starting the engine, I followed behind Wooyoung's car tothe cafe.

"The students like to hang here. Minho and I always hang here too," Wooyoung said aswe entered the cafe. I looked around the place and spotted her again: the one who saidthe bad word to me. Our eyes met and I felt a lump in my throat. She rolled her eyesand broke the eye contact. She continued talking to her friend like nothing happened atall. "Ignore her. She's not worth your time," Wooyoung told me. I nodded my head andfollowed him to a table.

Seated at a table, a waiter came to our table and asked for our order. Since I was notreally hungry, I ordered for a chocolate cheesecake and chocolate milkshake. Yup, I'm achocolate maniac. Sulli ordered the same thing as me and the boys did not orderanything. "Why didn't you order anything, Minho hyung?" Sulli asked her buddy. Wow,her acting is really good.

"I'm not hungry. I just like hanging out here with my friends," Minho answered and

smiled at Sulli. I looked at my cousin and saw that she was blushing. I kicked her legfrom under the table and she glared at me. "What's wrong Jinri?" Minho asked.

Sulli faked a smile to him and replied, "Nothing's wrong."


7/257

Our cheesecakes and milkshakes finally arrived. I thanked the waiter and devoured the

cheesecake quickly. I looked up from my plate and saw the other the two boys lookingat me with their jaws hanging. Sulli was used to it so she did not mind. 'The shikshinmade me into this,' I said in my mind. I laughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of myneck. "When it comes to sweet things like this cake, I am uncontrollable," I said andgrinned.

"I can't believe I am saying this but Taeyeon, you are so cute!" Wooyoung exclaimed

and pinched my cheeks.

I pushed his hands away and said, "I am not gay okay."

"Neither am I but you are seriously cute buddy," Wooyoung said and smiled.

"Whatever," I muttered and drank my milkshake.

Sulli's POV

My sister must have infected Taeyeon unnie. My sister, Sooyoung unnie, was known tobe the biggest shikshin of our family. She always hangs out with Taeyeon unnie and I


8/257

so Taeyeon unnie must have been infected by her and became a shikshin as well. Ipierce through my cake with the fork and put it in front of Minho oppa's mouth. "Havesome. It's delicious," I told him.

"No thanks Jinri ah," Minho oppa rejected.

"Just eat it dude. It's not like a guy will feed you again," Wooyoung oppa teased Minhooppa.

"Yeah Minho. Su...Jinri rarely feed guys except for me," Taeyeon unnie said, joiningWooyoung oppa in teasing Minho oppa.

"It's alright if you don't want it hyung," I said to Minho and turned the fork to feed myself.It was weird calling him hyung. I did not expect the next move though.

Minho oppa held onto my hand and ate the chocolate cheesecake that almost went intomy mouth. Wait, wasn't that an indirect kiss? No, it is not. Why do I care about thisanyways?

"Thank you for the cake Jinri. You are right, it is delicious," Minho oppa said. I hung myhead low as I was blushing. All of the sudden, I felt like someone was beside me andturned to look at who it was. "Oh, what brings you here Krystal?" I asked her.


9/257

"Feed me. I'm jealous of what you have just done to Minho oppa," Krystal replied

straightforwardly.

Okay...That was weird and random. How could she just be that straightforward? "Okay,"I said and stabbed the cake. "Open up now," I said to Krystal like she was a baby. Shedid as I said and bit onto the cake. She gulped it down after she chewed it and grinnedat me.

"Thank you Jinri~" she chirped and pecked my cheek. I felt my cheeks burning up onceagain. Taeyeon unnie snickered.

"Looks like someone is in love with you Jinri," she teased and winked at me. My facegot redder and I excused myself to the washroom. Wait...which washroom should I goto?!

Taeyeon's POV

Sulli excused herself to the washroom. I wonder which she would choose. I wasobserving her until Wooyoung called me. "Hey Taeyeon," he said. "Can you help mepay the bill at the counter over there? Here's the money. It's my treat."


10/257

"Okay," I said and took the money from his hand. I looked at Sulli for the last time andsaw her entering the male's washroom. 'Hope nothing goes wrong inside,' I said in mymind and went to the counter.

I was queuing up, waiting for my turn and when it was finally my turn, someone cut myqueue. I clenched my fist and said politely, "Excuse me, I was here first."

The person turned around and it was none other than Tiffany, the girl who was in the

same lecture class as me. She looked at me, uninterested. "So?" she askedmonotonously.

"Let me go first," I simply replied.

"Did you just answer me back? Do you know who I am?" Tiffany questioned and took astep forward. Right now, there was no gap in between us but we were not touchingeach other.

"No I don't know you since I just transferred here. Now I wonder why everyone is afraid

of you," I answered back without any fear.

"You're really daring Kim Taeyeon," she said and smirked.


11/257

"How do you know my name?" I asked dumbly.

"Your nametag," Tiffany said matter-of-factly and pointed at the sticker above my breastpocket.

I'm so stupid...

"I may not know a lot about you but I hope we can be friends," I said and pulled out myhand for a handshake.

"I don't need a friend like you," she muttered. "I don't make friends with an annoyingperson like you."

"I'm not going to give up Tiffany," I said to her in English.

"So you understand what I said to you just now. You're an interesting and annoyingperson Kim Taeyeon," Tiffany said before she moved away from me and went to thecounter.

Chapter Three

Sulli's POV

What should I do? I was in the male's washroom and I could not help but to feelawkward and disgusted. I tried my best not looking at other guys who were doing theirbusiness. I turned on the tap and washed my hands. This was not the best way to cooldown. How can I cool down when I am in the gents instead of female washroom? I amofficially going crazy.

After drying my hands, I hurriedly left the washroom and walked back to the table. I sawTaeyeon unnie at the counter talking to a girl and asked Minho oppa, "Who is she Minhoo...hyung?"

Instead of Minho oppa answering, Wooyoung oppa answered instead. "That's TiffanyHwang. Taeyeon had a rough start with her. Your cousin is a very daring person."

"Yeah, Tae hyung won his brother in a wrestling match before," I grinned.

After Taeyeon unnie paid the bill, she went back to the table with a smile on her face.She turned around to look at Tiffany unnie and the two oppa were shocked when theysaw Tiffany unnie smiling back to Taeyeon unnie. "What did you do to her Taeyeon?She just smiled at you," Wooyoung oppa asked my cousin.

"Nothing much," Taeyeon unnie answered. "Let's go home now Jinri."

Taeyeon unnie and Jiwoong oppa were in a headlock once we returned. Taeyeon unniepoked Jiwoong oppa's stomach and ran to her room. "Yah! That wasn't in the rules!"Jiwoong oppa shouted to Taeyeon.

"Hi oppa," I greeted once he cooled down.


13/257

"How was your day Sulli?" he asked.

"It is hard pretending as a guy," I answered and sighed. Jiwoong oppa chuckled andruffled my hair.

"You'll get used to it soon," he told me and walked away. I nodded my head and walkedto my room. I took off my uniform and the chest binder. I put on my normal clothes and

jumped onto my bed. My phone vibrated and I grabbed it from my study desk.

From: Unknown Number

Hey~ It's Krystal here! I got your number from Minho oppa. Don't ask me how Iget it. It's a secret. :P

I groaned and covered my eyes. Why can't she just leave me alone? I added her in mycontact list and replied to the text.

To: Krystal J

I won't ask. Why did you text me anyways?

A few seconds later, my phone vibrated again. 'She's a fast typer," I thought.

From: Krystal J

Can we hang out tonight? I want to get to know you better. :)

'Nothing can go wrong right?' I said to myself.


14/257

To: Krystal J

Sure. We'll meet at the park near our University .

From: Krystal J

Yah! What are you? A robot? Why is there not a single emoticon? T_T Fine, we'llmeet at the park at 7PM sharp.

I did not reply her afterwards and took a nap as I was really tired.

Krystal's POV

I managed to ask Jinri out! He really is a cute guy. I was never interested in guys butwhen Jinri arrived, he was an exception. I would do anything to make him mine.

When I received a text back from him, I pouted when he did not use a single emoticon. I

replied the text and he did not reply back. I threw my phone onto my bed and wentdown to the living room and joined my older sister, Jessica unnie.

"I'm sorry about just now unnie. You did not want to wake up in the library," I apologizedsincerely to her. She ignored me and I pouted. I leaned against her and said, "Pleaseforgive me unnie. I promise I won't ever do it again."

"That's the fifth time you promised Jung Soojung. I'm not taking in any of your liesanymore," Jessica unnie said coldly.

"I'm going out with Jinri tonight," I changed the subject. Jessica looked at me, archingand eyebrow.


15/257

"One of the new transfer student? I'm surprised you like a guy," Jessica unnie said,amused.

"You should go out with Tiffany unnie tonight. I heard that the other transfer studentpissed her off in class," I said to unnie.

"Sure, I'll do that. It's been a long time since I hang out with her since she is always withher new boyfriend," Jessica unnie said.

--

It was 7 o'clock sharp and there was no sign of Jinri. I wrapped my hands around myselfas I was feeling cold. I had run out of the house after looking at the time. I thought Iwould be late but Jinri was even late than me.

I saw a figure walking towards me. I smiled when I found out that it was Jinri. He had aguilty look plastered on his face. "Sorry I'm late. Taeyeon hyung and Jiwoong hyungwere giving me a hard time at home," Jinri apologised cutely. "Omo, you must be coldKrystal." Jinri took off his jacket and put it on me. I saw him wearing a long sleeved shirt

so I did not really mind.

"Thank you Jinri~" I chirped and linked arms with him. "Where should we go now?"

"Let's go and eat first. The Kim siblings didn't allow me to eat anything," Jinri replied witha pout that I found extremely adorable. I pinched his cheeks and he blushed furiously."L-let's go now. I know a r-restaurant we can go to," he stuttered and led the way like a

real gentleman would do.

Taeyeon's POV

Once Sulli left, I got myself ready to hang out with Wooyoung. He called me earlier onasking if I was free. Since I did not want to entertain my brother at night, I agreed tohang out with Wooyoung.


16/257

"What? You're leaving me too Taengoo?" Jiwoong oppa sobbed. I rolled my eyes andhit his forehead.

"Go and play with Hayeon. She needs some brotherly love," I told him and left themansion.

Wooyoung and I had agreed to meet at the newly opened bar which was located nearthe mansion. I was really thankful for that. Upon reaching, Wooyoung was not the onlyone there. He had invited a few guys and girls along. I knew all of the guys but not thegirls.

"I'll introduce them once we enter," Wooyoung said. I nodded and followed behind thegroup.

We were seated in a round. Two girls were sitting on each of my side and I was feelinguncomfortable as they kept trying to touch me. I felt like screaming the truth but mycover would be blown and that will be a very dumb thing to do. "Taeyeon oppa," the girl

on my left whose name was Hyorin purred. I shuddered at her voice and tried to pull heraway from me. "Why would you entertain someone like Tiffany unnie?"

"I-I don't know. I'm a friendly p-person," I stuttered. Somebody please help me out ofthis problem!

"Hyorin-sshi, I think Taeyeon is uncomfortable. Can you please keep a few centimetres

away from him?" Wooyoung told Hyorin politely. Hyorin did as he said and I mouthed athank you to Wooyoung.

"Are you gay oppa?" Hyorin asked all of the sudden. I spat out my drink and looked ather with my eyes widened.


17/257

"Of course not!" I answered her in a loud voice.

"Then why can't we touch you?"

"Because I'm not used to it," I answered.

Tiffany's POV

I was at the new bar, hanging out with my best friend, Jessica and my current boyfriend,Taecyeon. My boyfriend had left for his friends so I was all alone with Jessica. "So,"Jessica started the conversation. "How's Taecyeon?"

"He's a jerk. He thinks I don't know that he's fucking other girls," I answered bluntly.

"Look, it's the transfer student over there with Wooyoung," Jessica pointed out. I looked

to the front and smirked when I saw Kim Taeyeon. He looked uncomfortable with thegirls touching him. Usually guys would like being touched by the one and only KimHyorin.

"I don't care," I said and continued drinking my vodka.

"Look, his coming towards you."

I looked up once again and sighed when I saw him grinning at me. "What do youwant?" I asked him in English.


18/257

"I just want to talk to you," he answered in Korean.

"I'm not in the mood to talk. So can you kindly please leave?" I said and looked away

from him.

Better walk away nice guy. I'm not usually this nice to anyone.

"I'm not that bad. I just want to be friends," Taeyeon said.

"You don't really know how to give up don't you? Dance with me then," I said anddragged the small guy to the dance floor.


19/257

Chapter Four

Taeyeon POV

Cool down Taeyeon. Cool down. It is only a dance and nothing more. I am straight. I amnot falling for this dangerously beautiful girl. What did I just say? Did I just call TiffanyHwang beautiful? Straighten your mind Kim Taeyeon! Just calm down and dance withher for a few minutes. That is not so hard right.

Well...I was wrong. She was making it hard for me.

Tiffany had put her arms around my neck and pulled my closer towards her. She had asmirk plastered on her face and was swaying her hips side to side. Tell me why this girlis feared by other people in the University? She is hot and beautiful. Okay...I shouldreally get rid of my byun mind.

"Show me some of your moves Taeyeon," she whispered into my ear. I bit onto mylower lips. I could not move or even think. It was all because of her. I should stay awayfrom her. No, I want to be friends with her. Make up your mind Taeyeon!

"So? Aren't you going to show me your moves?" she asked in a dangerously low voicethat surprisingly I could hear although loud music was being played.

"I-I can't dance," I stuttered. I just stuttered in front of a girl. I am really not myself tonightbecause of her. What have you done to me Tiffany Hwang?

"That's alright. I'll just dance by myself," she smirked. I thought she was going to releaseme but instead, she got closer to me. I gulped and saw a guy looking at me intensely. Ilooked away from him and turned towards Wooyoung and the rest. They were alllooking at me with their jaws wide opened. Did I do something wrong?


20/257

"You have a toned body Taeyeon," Tiffany muttered.

"Huh?" I said, confused. I felt a hand under my shirt and it felt nice having her hand

under my shirt. There were like butterflies in my stomach. Snapping out from mythought, I pulled her hand out of my shirt. She pouted, which by the way I found reallyadorable, and moved her hand up slowly on my right thigh. "W-what are y-you doingTiffany?" I stuttered once again.

"Just touching you," she simply answered. I must not reveal my identity.

"I got to go now Tiffany. See you tomorrow," I said and pushed her away from me. Ismiled awkwardly at her before joining Wooyoung back at the table. I was safe.

"What was that Taeyeon? She dragged you to the dance floor," Wooyoung asked. "Howdid you manage to attract her attention?"

"I only asked her to be my friend. Nothing more," I replied. "I need to go home now. See

you tomorrow."

I could never forget this night. What was Tiffany trying to tell me? All she left me was abig question mark on top of my head. That made me want to be closer to her and be herfriend.

Sulli's POV

After having dinner, Krystal and I walked out of the restaurant with Krystal, clinging ontomy arm. I think I have learned two things about her. One, she is straightforward and thesecond one she is clingy. Wait there is another. She can be cold at some time. Remindme to never ever make her angry. I do not want to die at a young age.


21/257

"Where should we go now Jinri?" she asked me enthusiastically.

"Let's go to the amusement park," I replied. "I want to ride the roller coaster."

"Let's go~" she chirped.

--

I change my mind about Krystal. She can be really understanding and sweet. I like herbetter that way. We were now queuing up to ride the merry-go-round. It was childish but

since Krystal wanted to ride it so bad, why not?

It was now our turn and Krystal wanted to ride on the same horse as me. The workerthought we were a couple so she allowed us. I got onto the horse first and Krystal satbehind me with her arms wrapped around my waist. Let's just hope she doesn't feelanything weird.

"Are you older or younger than me? I know we are of the same age but when is yourbirthday? I want to call you oppa if you're older by a few months," Krystal said cutely.

"I'm born in March," I answered her.

"Yay! I can call you oppa," she squealed. I chuckled and the ride stopped. "Let's ride theFerris Wheel now!"

There were the only the two of us in the Ferris Wheel and I was really awkward. Although it was night, Krystal was eating an ice cream. I turned to take a glance at herand saw ice cream on top of her upper lips. I shook my head and helped her wiped itwith my thumb. She blushed and I chuckled. "Hurry and finish your ice cream up," I toldher and looked away.


22/257

Currently, Krystal and I were playing a staring contest. It had been fifteen seconds andneither of us blinked. Krystal eye started to form tears and I smirked. "Oppa, you aremean," she whined.

"Sorry Krystal," I said to her. She blinked and I won. She pouted and I felt tempted tokiss her lips. No, this is wrong. I should not think like that.

"Who's your first kiss with oppa?"

Did she read my mind or something?

"No one yet," I answered.

Silence.

"Who's yours?" I asked her.

Krystal all of the sudden leaned in and captured my lips. It...felt so right. No, once again,it's so wrong! I quickly pulled away and turned my back facing her. I felt my face burning.What was I feeling?

"I didn't mean to kiss you oppa. I didn't know why I did that," Krystal said, on the vergeof crying. I turned around and put my hands on her shoulders. Why do I feel guilty?

"Don't cry. I don't mind losing my first kiss to you," I comforted her.


23/257

"Really? That was my first kiss as well," Krystal told me.

So we lost our first kiss to each other. Well, it was good to know that she has not kissedother guys or maybe girls before.

"Let's go now," I said to her and walked out, leaving her behind.

Chapter Five

Taeyeon's POV

I did not know why but my senses told me that today will not be a good day at all. I triedto push the thought away but it kept bugging me. After the lecture ended, I packed allmy things and left the hall only to be stopped by the same guy that was staring at me atthe club the previous day.

He had an angry look on his face and he grabbed me by the collar. He pinned me to theedge of the door and I groaned in pain. He is not a gentleman at all. Wait, I amdisguising as a guy. He could beat me any time he wants. Damn Jiwoong. He is makingmy life a living hell as a guy.

"Never touch my girl again," he growled.

"Who?" I asked. "You mean Tiffany?"

"Who else then? Back away from her get it?" he answered and released me.

"If you are Tiffany's boyfriend, why were you with another girl yesterday?" I askedbluntly. I was not ready for his next move. He turned around and aimed his fist at me butI managed to dodge it just in time. "Are you trying to kill me?!" I asked him in shock.

He clenched his jaws and threw another punch at me. I caught his fist and did a backflip

on him. It seems like the training my uncle had been giving me was not a waste. Thecrowd went silent and all eyes were on us. What was so special about our fight thateveryone had to look at us?

Tiffany's boyfriend stood up from the ground and kicked my knee. Does he not knowhow to give up? I fell to the ground, holding onto my hurt knee and hissed at the guy. He


25/257

chuckled at me and once again grabbed me by the collar. He punched my stomach andgave a really hard punch on my face which leads me into a knock out. That was it. He isso getting a revenge from me after I gain my conscious back. He should learn to nevermess with me.

"Taeyeon!" I heard Wooyoung shout before everything turned dark.

Sulli's POV

It was just my luck that Mr Lee made me sit beside Krystal. She had this goofy grin onwhen Mr Lee announced the sitting arrangement. Not that I did not like her but shedistracts me a lot. Why must Minho oppa and Taeyeon unnie be older than me? If they

were not, we could be in the same class together and I can drop the formalities.

"Now I can ask you any questions if I'm in doubt," Krystal said to me after I took my seatbeside her on the left.

"Yeah sure," I said coolly without looking at her.

"If you are still thinking about the kiss yesterday, I'm really sorry," Krystal said. I knowshe was pouting without even looking at her. I knew it from the tone of her voice.

"I really don't mind about the kiss Krystal and didn't you say you will be calling meoppa?" I teased her. I looked at her and showed her a smile.

"I will only call you oppa if I feel like it," she told me and stuck her tongue out. It was myturn to pout and she giggled. "I didn't know you can do aegyo Jinri."

"Yeah yeah. Now focus. I don't want to get in trouble for talking," I said sternly andturned back to the front.

"Yes oppa! I will do anything you say," Krystal said cutely and focused on the lesson likeI told her to. I chuckled softly and I felt her pinch my thigh. I pushed her hand away andrubbed the part she pinched me. I will get you soon Krystal Jung. Be prepared.

Tiffany's POV

I have no idea why I am in front of the nurses' room. My legs brought me here after Isaw Taeyeon being carried to the room by Wooyoung. I hate that guy. He is too niceand generous. It was nothing bad but I hate how he was alright with it when I rejectedhim. It hurt my pride a lot.

I opened the door and there was no turning back. I saw him lying peacefully on the bedprovided and could not help but to feel a slight tug in my chest when I saw his purpleeye. Taecyeon overdid it but what Taeyeon did was impressive. He was able to defendhimself from Taecyeon.

"You were great back there although you are skinny and a midget," I muttered.

"I hate my life," I heard Taeyeon said aloud. I thought he was awake but it looked like hewas sleep talking. That was a cute habit. Did I just compliment that nice guy? He shouldbe proud of it.

"Where am I?" Taeyeon said as he sat up from the bed. He flinched when he touchedhis bruised eye. I went to the fridge and handed Taeyeon an ice bag. "Thanks," he saidsoftly and put it on his eye. His jaw literally dropped when he saw me in front of him. Adorky smile crawled up his mouth. I have to act quickly.

"I'm not doing this because I care. I'm here to apologize on my boyfriend's behalf," I said.Wait, I don't apologize to people. Why is it hard for me to just ignore him?


27/257

"I didn't ask you anything," Taeyeon said. His smile only got wider.

"Get that smile of your face midget. Or else I'll leave this room," I pouted. What did I just

say and do? I shook my head and put on my straight face once again.

"Did the icy Tiffany just pout at the midget Taeyeon?" Taeyeon teased me.

Keep calm Tiffany. Don't drop your mask in front of this midget. "No. It was only yourimagination," I lied.

"Really? I can totally see it clearly although one of my eyes is bruised," he said andlooked at me.

"The real reason why I came here is to tell you to stop disturbing me. Don't ever talk tome ever again," I said, changing the subject.

"Can't we just be friends? Acquaintance will do too," Taeyeon said with a pout. Taeyeonis a guy. Why is his pout so cute? Is it even possible for a guy?

"Just leave me alone. You're only going to get hurt more," I told him coldly.

"Physically or emotionally?" he asked.

"Both," I answered and left the room. He better not talk to me anymore after this.


28/257

"You're so mean Tiffany Hwang!" I heard Taeyeon shout once I left. Did I just hearhim speak English in a British accent? Where did he come from? I should have beenawake when he introduced himself. Now, I have to find out secretly. Why do I care somuch?

Krystal's POV

I was about to ask Jinri out for lunch but Minho oppa beat me to it. Why must he alwaysbe in my way? I walked away from the both of them and went to my sister.

"Unnie, Minho oppa is stealing Jinri away from me," I whined to her.

"Eish," Jessica unnie said. "Since when Jinri is yours?"

"Why are you so mean to me unnie?" I pouted.

"Because I like to," my sister answered bluntly.

"Can you help me unnie?" I asked.

"Help what?" Jessica unnie said and looked at me curiously.

"Block Minho oppa tomorrow while I ask Jinri out for lunch. Please?"

"Now I wonder if you're the guy or Jinri is."


29/257

"Please unnie!"

"Alright but promise no pranks for a month."

"Thank you unnie!"

I hugged my sister and skipped away. I knocked into someone and could not believewho I saw. "It's been a long time Krystal," she said and grinned at me.

Chapter Six

Tiffany's POV

Here I am, in the hall, sitting on my boyfriend's lap before the lecture starts. He had hisarms wrapped around my waist and was kissing my neck.

I. Did. Not. Like. It. At. All.

I saw Taeyeon entered the hall and elbowed Taecyeon's stomach. He released me andI got of his lap and made my way to my original seat. Let's see if the midget dares to talk

to me.

Minding my own business by playing with my phone, Taeyeon sat down and took out apurple note book from his bag. While writing, he was humming to a song. His voice wasnice but it sounded girlish.

"Erm...Tiffany," Taeyeon said. "Why are you leaning close to me?"

My eyes widened and I pushed him off his seat. He groaned in pain but I could not careless. I just embarrassed myself. Taeyeon made his way back to his seat and I heardhim mutter. "Why do I get into accidents lately? Isn't the purple eye enough?"

I felt guilty all of the sudden but I did not apologize. Tiffany Hwang does not apologize. Itook a glimpse at his note book and saw that there were random sketches. Is he an

adult or a kid?

"I'm sorry I'm late. Why are you wearing glasses Taeyeon-sshi?" Mr Shin said as helooked at the scowling Taeyeon.


31/257

"I was fighting with my brother and he accidentally punched me for real. So now, I havea bruised eye," Taeyeon lied smoothly. So he is not a hundred percent nice guy at all.He was not a tattletale too.

"I didn't know you were this kind of guy Taeyeon-sshi. Let's start the lecture now," MrShin said. I rolled my eyes and did my usual routine which was sleep.

"You're going to miss out on a lot today," I heard Taeyeon said before I went to mydreamland.

Krystal's POV

"A-Amber? What are you doing here?" I asked, not believing who I was seeing. Shesmiled at me and put her arm around my neck.

"I begged my parents to let me exchange to this university," Amber replied.

"But how?" I asked another question.

"I told her you were here," Amber answered. "Now, would you mind showing mearound?"

"Sure," I said. How am I supposed to get Jinri when Amber is here? Why can't Jinri justlike me? If he does, I bet Amber will not disturb me for my while life. She was a stalker.

A creepy stalker. She would follow me wherever I go.

"I heard you have a crush on a guy. Who is he?" Amber asked, sounding serious all ofthe sudden.


32/257

One more thing about Amber. She is scary when she is jealous.

"It's none of your business. Let me show you the way around now before the lecture

starts," I answered and dragged her around the school. I know that she was liking it.That creep. I wonder how she found me here.

Sulli's POV

Minho oppa invited me to have lunch with him and I accepted his offer. Let's just say Ihave a little crush on him. However, I could not just confessed to him in this attire. Hewould think I am gay.

"I think Krystal likes you. She was never interested in guys before; not even me," Minhooppa said with a sad smile.

"So before I came, she was never interested in guys?" I asked. Well, of course she wasattracted to me. I am a girl and I am sure she is hundred percent not straight at all. Theway she looks at guys are different than the way she looks at girls. Thinking of this,Krystal is really dense. How can she not know I am a girl? I mean like seriously, you're

not straight since born and all of the sudden, you like a guy? That will be a miracle but Idoubt that happens.

"Yup," Minho oppa replied.

"I didn't know that. Well, thanks for telling me that," I said and took a sip of my iced tea.

Just then, I saw Krystal entered the cafe with another...boy? After knowing me, she gotinterested in boys now?


33/257

"Oppa~" Krystal said in a singsong voice when she saw me. I managed a small smileand she came running towards me while dragging her friend along. "Jinri this is Amberand Amber this is Jinri," she introduced me to her friend and vice versa. I felt stupid. Herfriend is a girl...why did I thought her as a guy?

"What's up?" Amber asked and pulled out her hand.

"Just chilling," I answered and shook hands with her.

"Jinri, can you buy me a latte?" Krystal asked me and sat beside me.

"You have your own money. You can buy it yourself," I told her bluntly.

"I'll buy it for you instead Krystal. I'll be back okay?" Amber said enthusiastically andwalked to the counter but Krystal grabbed her wrist.

"No, I want Jinri oppa to buy it for me," she said stubbornly and pouted at me.

"I'll go buy you a latte," I said and stood up from my seat.

"Thank you oppa!" Krystal said and grinned at me.

I saw Amber staring daggers at me and I quickly walked to the counter and ordered alatte for Krystal. With Amber in the picture now, I bet she will do her best in trying tomake Krystal stay away from me as far as possible. I did not like the sound of that.


34/257

Taeyeon's POV

It was a good thing Tiffany fell asleep. I was now her partner for the project. If she waswide awake, I don't think so I could be her partner. She would somehow change MrShin's mind.

"Tiffany, please wake up," I said and shook her body lightly.

"Didn't I tell you not to talk to me anymore midget?" Tiffany muttered.

I pouted but did not give up. "You're my partner for this project. We have to talk as muchfor the project," I said and smirked.

Tiffany sat upright with her jaws hanging. "What?!" she shouted. "How?"

"It just happened," I shrugged.

"I don't care. I am not doing the project with you. I don't care if I fail at all," Tiffany saidbluntly.

"But I care. I have to graduate from here!" I said, raising my voice slightly.

"Your problem, not mine," she said.

"Is it that hard to be friends? I'll just complete the project myself and give you somecredit," I said coldly and walked away from Tiffany. I saw that bastard who punched mesmirking at me. I punched his stomach hard and walked away. Now how am I suppose


35/257

to find another model for the photoshoot? I should have just chosen the businesscourse like my father told me to if I knew things would turn out like this.

"Kim Taeyeon, get to the office now," Principal Ahn said sternly and walked to her office.What did I do?

I looked at the bastard and saw him lying on the ground, clutching his stomach. What?Why was he overreacting? I did not punch him that hard. I glared at him and walked toPrincipal Ahn's office. Just being in the University for a few days and now getting calledbecause of hurting someone, I wish I could just stay in England forever.


36/257

Chapter Seven

Sulli's POV

Minho oppa had to leave early so I was left with Krystal and Amber. Krystal was busy

trying to get my attention while Amber was busy trying to get Krystal's attention. I feltKrystal arms wrapping around my waist and I stood up from the chair. Krystal pouted atme. I rolled my eyes and said, "Let's go back. Lecture is going to start soon."

Krystal nodded her head and held onto my hand. I sighed and allowed her to dowhatever she wanted to. I looked at Amber and saw her staring daggers at me onceagain. I stuck out my tongue at her and walked out of the cafe with Krystal. I did not like

Amber being close to Krystal at all. I admit that.

I...am not falling for Krystal right? No, no I am not. I just care for her as a friend. Nothingbeyond that.

"Oppa, are you alright?" Krystal asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, just thinking," I answered. I was used to her calling me oppa already. Weird right?

"I think Jinri wants some space to himself Krys. Leave him alone," Amber said.

I sense jealousy from Amber. I turned to the back and saw her scowling.

"Maybe I should," Krystal said and released my hand.

I shook my head and put my hand around her waist. I pulled her closer and said, "It'salright. I am no longer thinking now." It's fun teasing Amber. It was obvious that she was

jealous. I could just see it through her eyes.


37/257

Once in the lecture hall, Krystal and I went to our seats while Amber was standing at thefront, waiting for the lecturer to enter. Krystal leaned her head on my shoulder and said,"You are acting different today Jinri. Why are you suddenly being nice to me and not

pushing me away whenever I touch you?"

"I think you deserve it from me. I don't like Amber being close to you," I replied. Crap,did I just say that? I looked at Krystal and saw her grinning at me. She heard it loud andclear.

"Someone's jealous," she teased me.

"No I am not," I said.

"Then why is your face red when I say you are jealous?" Krystal asked me, looking atme innocently.

"It's hot in here," I lied.

"Yeah right," Krystal muttered and rolled her eyes. "It's 24 degrees in here plus the coldweather outside."

"Whatever. I am not jealous so don't take it the wrong way," I told her and ended the

conversation.

"You're a conversation killer Choi Jinri," Krystal said and looked away from me.


38/257

Tiffany's POV

I saw my boyfriend smirking and walked towards him. I stood in front of him with myarms folded. He grinned and put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. Hewanted to kiss me but I stopped him with my palm. "Why were you smirking?" I asked

him coldly.

"We've been together for six month baby. Why are you still cold towards me?"Taecyeon asked, ignoring my question.

"Unless you don't want your junior to get hurt, answer my question. Why were yousmirking?" I asked him once again.

Taecyeon sighed and replied to my question, "That Kim Taeyeon is called by Principal Ahn for punching me."

"Why are you here instead of the nurses' room then?" I asked him another question. Iwas like interrogating him now.

"I faked everything. His punch was hard but it did not hurt me at all," he answered and asmirk formed onto his face.

I slapped his face and pushed his hands away from my waist. "We are over Taecyeon.You're a jerk. Taeyeon did nothing to you," I said to him bluntly.

"He is trying to steal you away from me baby. Can't you see that?" Taecyeon said andheld onto my hands.

"He just wants to be my friend nothing more. Why are you so jealous about him whenyou have me?" I asked him and pulled his hands away from mine.


39/257

"So are we still together?"

"No, we are totally over. I can't stand your jealousy and over-protectiveness. You evenplayed with other girls while you are not with me."

With that, I strutted away from him and went to join Jessica at the garden locatedoutside the University.

Krystal's POV

I am sure Jinri is jealous of Amber. I could not help but to squeal in my mind. However,Jinri is seriously a conversation killer. He does not even have the initiative to continuewith the conversation. I hated that part of him.

I felt relieved when Amber was chosen to sit beside someone else. I took a glance atJinri and saw him grinning. 'Why is he so cute?' I said in my mind. Jinri turned his headand our eyes met. I looked away first and blushed.

"Don't just stare at me. You have to concentrate," he told me strictly.

"Yes father," I said to him. He puffed his cheeks and folded his arms. Looks like he wasnot happy that I called him father. Choi Jinri, you make me fall deeper for you. I wasnever interested in guys and you changed me. Are you really a guy?

--

Jinri was waiting for me at the front door. That was new. He smiled and at and said,"Let's go watch a movie. Don't worry, it's my treat."


40/257

"Yah! I'm rich. Why are you talking like I can't afford a ticket at all?" I asked him.

"You couldn't buy your own latte just now," Jinri said and gave me a 'what-can-you-say-

about-that' look.

"I just wanted to receive your attention," I pouted.

"Just kidding. I don't mind actually. Let's go," Jinri said and held onto my hand.

Taeyeon's POV

It was nerve wrecking being in the principal office. I was not at fault but if I triedexplaining to Principal Ahn, would she even believe me?

Staring intensely into my eyes, Principal Ahn was not at all happy at me. She took offmy glasses and I quickly covered my black eye with my fringe. "I know Ok Taecyeon didthis to you Mr Kim. We have CCTV around the whole university," Principal Ahn said. I

sighed in relieved. I thought I was getting in trouble. "However, you did hurt Mr Ok a fewminutes ago. You are suspended for three days Mr Kim."

"This is unfair! Why doesn't he get suspended too? He made my eye black," I raised myvoice.

"I can't do that as this university belongs to his family," Principal Ahn answered calmly.

"I have the-"


41/257

No Taeyeon. You cannot reveal your true self to anyone. "I'll accept the suspension," Isaid lowly.

"You may leave the office now," Principal Ahn said. I bowed at her and left the office.

Walking out the university with a sulky expression, I saw Tiffany and another girl talkingto each other. Not only was I suspended, how am I supposed to complete the project bymyself? I sighed and walked to my bike. Sulli had texted me that she was hanging outwith her friend so I decided to explore Seoul by myself. If I am lost, I would just call myfather.

"Did you have fun in the office?" I heard the bastard asked as soon as I reached mybike.

"Yeah, I had fun," I answered sarcastically, without looking at him.

"That's enough Taecyeon. Stay away from him," Tiffany said in a commanding tone.

When did she get here?

"Bye midget," the bastard whose name was apparently close to my own name said andwalked away.

Although one of my eyes is hurt, I can still see. I put on my helmet and wondered whyTiffany is standing in front of me and not moving. "Is there something wrong Tiffany?" I

asked her.

"I'm bored. Let me join you in whatever you are going to do now," she said and grabbedthe extra helmet. She put it on and waited for me to climb on before she did.


42/257

"I didn't even say whether you can join me or not," I told her.

"It will be a lie if you tell me you didn't want me to follow right?" Tiffany said.

She's right. I sighed and started the engine. "Hang on tight alright?" I said and sped offto my destination.

I liked the feeling when Tiffany wrapped her arms around my waist. It is a rare momentand I think this is the only day I can feel her touch unless she was my friend or maybemore than that.

I have accepted the fact that I am no longer straight and that I was falling in love withTiffany. I did not know this will happen. I bet if Jiwoong didn't make the bet, this wouldn'thave happened.

Looking at the side mirror, Tiffany was looking at the side with an amazed expression.Her hair was blowing because of the wind and the sight was beautiful. "What's with the

amazed look Tiffany?" I asked her.

"It's none of your business," she answered coldly.

"Let me guess. You have never rode on a bike before and see the whole of Seoul withyour own eyes," I guessed.

I looked at the mirror again and saw that she was shocked. I smirked and said, "I amcorrect right? This is my first time being in Seoul since I've lived in England for all my life.I just moved here in Seoul."


43/257

"Y-you live in England?" Tiffany said. I could not blame her for not knowing. She wasasleep while I introduced myself.

"Yeah," I said and grinned although she couldn't see it.

"We're here Tiffany," I said and stopped the engine. "Let's explore Seoul now!"


44/257

Chapter Eight

Tiffany's POVThe midget lived in England. That explains the accent. I got off the bike and waited for

him. He ruffled his hair after taking off the helmet and put the headgear away. Hegrinned at me and said, "Come on. If we get lost, we got each other."

I rolled my eyes and held onto his arm. He was shocked when I did that. "You're afraidto get lost right? We should hold onto each other hands then," I told him.

"O-okay," he stuttered. He held onto my hand firmly and I felt comfortable. His hand felt

soft though, like a female's. "Where to first?" he asked.

"Shopping mall," I simply answered and dragged him to where I wanted to go. He wasstruggling to catch up with me.

"Slow down will you? I'm not going to run away," he said and pulled me to his side. Hesmiled at me and I felt my cheeks heating up.

"Are you alright Tiffany? Why do you look red?" he asked with his head tilted. I releasedmy hand away from his grip and walked forward while trying to cool down. "You'reweird," I heard him said.

"Yah!" I shouted and glared at him. He smiled innocently at me and held my hand onceagain. "But I'm weirder once you get to know me," he continued and led the way.

He is really getting on my nerve. Every few seconds he would glance at me as if I willrun away. How do I know? I can feel it when someone looks at me. I never looked atthem back though only if I like them. "So Tiffany," he spoke up. "Can you please stopcalling me midget? You're hurting my pride."


45/257

I looked at him and giggled. He looked shock for a second. My eyes widened and Icleared my throat. I looked away and answered him in a serious tone, "I'll call youwhatever I want to. You can't tell me what to say."

"You're no different than my brother," he pouted.

Cute.

"Ice cream~!" he screamed and released my hand to go to the ice cream shop.

What am I feeling?

I sighed and followed behind him. What happened to going to a shopping centre? Ientered the shop and could smell the different ice cream flavours through my nostrils. Isaw the midget already seated with two cups of ice cream. He saw me and waved at

me. "I bought you ice cream too Tiffany!" he said loudly. The customers looked at usweirdly and I was embarrassed. I walked towards his table and sat down. "What'swrong?" he asked.

I ignored him and took the ice cream cup from the table. I ate while not looking at him.He does not seem to care. He likes ice cream more than looking at me? Why do I evencare? I need to get a new boyfriend soon.

"Done~" he said in satisfaction once he finished his ice cream. He wiped his mouth withthe back of his hand and then stared at me as I finish my ice cream. He is weird.

Eating the last scoop of ice cream, I put the cup down and looked at the Taeyeon whowas laughing silently. He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and leaned forward


46/257

towards me. He cupped my chin and gently wiped my mouth. I felt my heart beatingfaster than usual. He kept his handkerchief and sat back down with a grin. "Let's goshopping now. That's what you wanted to do right?" he said and stood up. I will neverfall for this midget. He is not my type at all.

Sulli's POV

I am feeling really annoyed right now. Why can't Amber just back off for once? Can't shesee that I am spending my time with Krystal? Krystal does not even want to hang outwith you in the first place. "Oppa, what movie do you want to watch?" Krystal asked me.

"You choose. I don't mind," I answered. She nodded her head and went to queue to buy

the tickets. Of course, I was the one paying the cost of the tickets.

Waiting patiently at a corner, I saw Amber slowly walking up towards Krystal. I clenchedmy fist and wanted to walk towards them until I saw Minho oppa with his friendsentering the cinema. I totally forgot about Krystal and smiled at Minho. "Hey Jinri. Whatare you doing here?" he asked and flashed his smile. I was melting inside.

"I'm waiting for Krystal to buy the tickets," I answered coolly.

"Do you like her? If you do, you have to be careful of her sister. Her sister is reallyscary," Minho said and patted my shoulder. "See you tomorrow Jinri."

"Bye," I said softly.

I looked up and saw that Amber was holding onto Krystal's wrist and not letting go. I hadthis unknown feeling in my chest and went to stop them. I pulled Krystal into my handpossessively and glared at Amber. "Can't you see I'm with her? I don't think she wantsyou around either," I growled lowly at her. Amber glared at me back and walked away.


47/257

I held onto Krystal's hands and looked at her worriedly. "Are you alright? Did she harmyou?" I asked.

Krystal giggled and hugged me. "I'm okay Jinri~ Thanks for saving me," she said. Ismiled and ruffled her hair. "Let's go watch the movie now but before that, can you buythe popcorn and drink?"

"Do you mind if we share?" I asked her. She shook her head and queued up with me. Iordered a large popcorn and drink and paid the worker. The both of us entered thetheatre and took our seats.

Halfway through the movie, I put my hand inside the popcorn box and felt Krystal's handtrying to grab some popcorn as well. The both of us pulled away at the same time anddid not touch the popcorn for a few seconds. "Grab some first Krystal," I whispered toher. She grabbed a piece and put it in front of my mouth.

"You first," she said. I opened my mouth and eat it. She smiled and then fed herselfsome.

I am suppose to be the man of this friendship but why was she treating me like a girlinstead? I need to make a move first. "Here," I said. "Since you feed me, I'll feed youtoo."

I felt Krystal moving closer and she bite onto the popcorn. After chewing, she leanedcloser and pecked my cheek. I'm lucky that the place is dark. I don't want Krystal to seethat I was blushing.

Chapter Nine

Taeyeon's POV

Going shopping with Tiffany is a bad thing. She bought almost all the clothes and asked

me to carry the bags. I wonder how I am going to carry it back to her place. Leaving thatthought aside, Tiffany looked stunning in the purple dress she was wearing. I wasspeechless. She must have seen my expression as she was smirking. "Like what yousee?" she said in a seductive tone. What is she really trying to do? I gulped and noddedmy head. "Too bad purple isn't my favourite colour," she said. I was feeling down whenshe said that. I was actually hoping she would buy it.

After changing back into her normal clothes, we walked out of the shop and went to takea break at a fast food restaurant. I did not talk to her at all. I was still sulking. My heart

hurt when she said she did not like the colour purple. What was so good about pinkanyways? I dislike the colour. Pink is my enemy. "Why are you suddenly so quietmidget?" she asked in a cold tone. Sheesh, continue and ruin my mood.

"None of your business," I answered back in the same tone. I was not in the mood totalk to her. I am stupid actually, sulking because she did not buy the dress.

"Whoa, what's with the sudden change in attitude?" she asked in a much better tone. Icould see that she was trying her best to be friendly with me.

"Since when do you care how I feel?" I answered her with another question.

"I was trying to be nice to you and this is how you treat me. Fine, I will stop asking youquestions," Tiffany replied and glared at me.

We continued shopping until it was seven in the evening. Tiffany and I did not have anyconversations at all throughout the two hours and I do not think she planned to talk tome at all. Her face was really expressionless and she did not ask me for opinions again.Why was she so angry? She does not even like me. She should be happy that I am notirritating her.


49/257

Tiffany and I were at the parking lot. She had called her father to ask her driver to pickher up and I was just waiting beside her. The weather was really cold and I saw Tiffanyshivering. Why wouldn't she? She was wearing a skirt that barely covered her knees

and she was not wearing any long-sleeved clothing at all. So, being a gentleman, I tookoff my coat and put it over her. I was wearing a jacket so I was okay. She did not sayanything but she did put her arms in the holes once I put the jacket on her. I grinned andput my hands into my pockets. "Not a thank you at all?" I asked her. The awkwardnesswas eating me up.

"Thanks," she muttered. It was barely audible but at least she did thank me. I saw a carcoming into the parking lot and I frowned. I would not be able to see her for the nextthree days. I wish she would just accept it and be my partner. That way, I will be able to

still see her although I am suspended.

"I guess it's time for us to separate now," I said coolly. "You can keep the coat if youwant to."

I showed my back to her and walked to my bike. I turned my head and saw that Tiffanyhad a thinking expression on. I wonder what she was thinking. I had my helmet on

already and started the engine. I was surprised when I saw Tiffany running towards me.I stopped my engine and waited for her to come closer. "Missed me already?" I joked.

"No," she answered coldly. I should not have said that. "My father asked you to havedinner with us. He says he wants to see you," she said.

"Mr Hwang wants to see me?" I asked.

"Yes and this is the first time he asked a guy to come for dinner. He usually hates theguy I go out with," Tiffany replied with an unhappy expression.


50/257

"If you don't want me to be there, you can just lie to him saying that I have to go homeearly," I told her. I know she was not happy that her father had asked me to join them fordinner but she did not want to say it.

"My father will never believe what I say. Let's go now. You can take your biketomorrow," Tiffany said and walked towards the car. I followed behind her and sat at thefront seat. I wanted to seat with her at the back but I did not want to ruin her mood more.

I was not surprised when I see Tiffany's house. She lives in a two storey mansion."Aren't you amazed? I live in a two storey mansion," she bragged.

"I don't care," I shrugged. She glared at me for don't know how many times and enteredthe mansion. I followed behind her and was shocked when I saw my father talking toanother guy maybe around his age.

"Daddy, this is Kim Taeyeon," Tiffany introduced me. My father and the guy, who wasactually Tiffany's father, stood up from their seats. My father had the same shockedexpression as I do and Mr Hwang was smiling at me.

"Good evening," I bowed to the both of them and smiled awkwardly.

Krystal's POV

I wonder if Jinri likes me in the same way. I did not want to think of this but it bothers meevery time. I become invisible once Minho oppa appears. Is Jinri gay? It can't be right?He looks like a girl though. Krystal Jung Soojung, stop thinking about this! Of course

Jinri is straight. Why would he blush when I kiss him then?

"Are you alright Krystal?" Jinri asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," I replied. He smiled and comfortably put his arm around my neck. Ireturn him a smile and we walked out of the theatre. It's shopping time!

This was my first time going out with a guy. I would always go out with girls. Well, I amnot straight and I am proud of it. Guys just create problems in my opinion. Entering anaccessory store, I began to search for a couple item. Jinri was walking around the storeand admiring the items as well. I giggled softly. I did not know he was interested in thiskind of things as well.

"Hey Krystal, I have something for you," Jinri said after we walked out of the shop. I wassad that I could not find a couple item. Jinri stood behind me and put something on myneck. He secured the item and stood beside me with a grin. I looked at the item and

saw that it was a necklace. The other half of the locket was missing though. "Here's theother half. Do you mind putting it on for me?" he said.

"You bought us a couple necklace?" I asked. I could not hide my excitement.

"Yup!" he answered cheerfully. "I really hate seeing you with Amber. I want her to knowthat she should stay away from you and that you can only talk to me and not her," he

continued.

Did Jinri realise what he said to me? Was that a confession? I don't think so. Let's justthink of this as a friendship item. I do not want to have my hopes high. I will just waituntil Jinri confesses for real. For now, I shall enjoy every moment with him. Why am Ithinking like he is going to leave me someday?

"Are you going to put it on for me, Krystal?" Jinri asked.

I nodded my head and fastened the hook at the back. Jinri smiled and back hugged me.Why can't we just be a couple already? He is killing me with all the skinships we made.


52/257

"Where to now?" he asked me.

"I want to buy a few clothes and a pair of new shoes," I replied and leaned onto Jinri.

His chest felt quite hard for a guy.

"Let's go then," Jinri said.

After buying all the items that I wanted, Jinri decided to send me home. I told him therewas not a need to but he insisted. Why haven't I met him soon? He is a gentleman andcute too. We entered the train and it was packed. Jinri had carried all my bags for me

and I felt pity for him.

Just then, a guy boarded the train and I felt really uncomfortable. He was leaning reallyclose to me and I could feel his hand groping my butt. Why are there such people? Iguess Jinri had seen what the guy did as all of the sudden, we switched position. I wasstanding at his previous spot and he was standing at my spot. "Thank you," I said toJinri.

"No problem," he smiled.

"C-Can I put my arms around your neck?" I asked shyly. He chuckled and nodded hishead. After I wrapped my arms around, he held onto all the bags in one hand while hisfree hand was around my waist, pulling me closer.

"I'm not going to allow any guys to touch you," he whispered into my ear. "So, pretendthat I'm your boyfriend okay?"

Sure I can do that. I always wanted you to be my boyfriend. I smiled at him and peckedhis lips. He looked shocked. "You are my boyfriend right?" I said and stuck my tongueout at him. He pouted and I pecked his lips once again.


53/257

"That isn't fair Krystal," he whined. I giggled and kissed his cheek. "You really love methat much until you kiss me at random times. I feel so loved."

"Was that supposed to be sarcastic?" I asked.

"I don't know," he said innocently.

I pouted and this time, he kissed my lips. It was not just a peck but a really long kiss.

What made him do that? The train stopped moving and the doors opened. "You livearound here right? Let's go," Jinri said and broke the kiss. He alighted the train and I didthe same thing. I held onto his hand and we walked to my house. What just happened?

Chapter Ten

Sulli's POV

I hate entering crowded train when I'm with a friend especially if it was a girl. I don'tknow why but my protective instinct will kick in. Seeing Krystal looking uncomfortablewhen a guy was holding her, I switched position with her since the guy thought I was aguy. I glared at him and faced Krystal. "Thank you," she said.

"No problem," I told here and smiled.

"C-Can I put my arms around your neck?" Krystal asked shyly. Krystal Jung is shy?That's cute. I chuckled and nodded my head. After wrapping her arms around my neck,I held onto all the bags in one hand while my other hand was around her waist, pullingher closer to me.

"I'm not going to allow any guys to touch you," I whispered into her ear. "So, pretendthat I'm your boyfriend okay?"

Why did I just say that? It's not that I like her right? I just want to protect her, that's all.Krystal smiled at me and all of the sudden pecked my lips. I was really surprised. "Youare my boyfriend right?" she said and stuck her tongue out at him. She's takingadvantage of this. I pouted and once again she pecked me on my lips.

"That isn't fair Krystal," I whined. Krystal giggled and kissed my cheek. "You really loveme that much until you kiss me at random times. I feel so loved."

"Was that supposed to be sarcastic?" Krystal asked. You know me so well Krystal.

"I don't know," I said innocently.


55/257

Krystal pouted and I stared at her lips. Why is it so tempting? It's not wrong to kiss herright? I leaned in and kissed her. It was not just a peck like what she did but a reallylong kiss. I did not want to pull away. The train stopped and unwillingly, we have to pull

away. Don't tell me I am really in love with her right?

"You live around here right? Let's go," I said. I alighted from the train and she followedbehind me. She held onto my hand and we walked to my house like nothing hadhappened. We were neither awkward nor angry at each other.

Reaching her apartment, she opened the door and was greeted by the girl that was

chasing her when we first met. "Jinri, this is my sister, Jessica," Krystal introduced theperson. So, she's older than me. I bowed at her and introduced myself.

"So Jinri, you're the first guy my sister ever liked so treat her well," Jessica unnie said ina cold tone. Wow, I have never met a person like this before.

"I will treat her well noona," I said to her and bowed again. It was really weird and

awkward calling her noona. I'm used to calling someone older than me and a femaleunnie than noona.

"Let's go to my room," Krystal said and pulled me in. We took off our shoes and shedragged me to her room. She doesn't care if a guy enters her room?

Krystal told me to sit beside her on her bed after I put down her shopping bags. She

leaned her head on my shoulder and asked, "Why did you kiss me in the train justnow?"

How am I supposed to answer this?


56/257

"I don't know. I just felt tempted to kiss you when you pouted," I answered. I felt mycheeks heating up and ensured that Krystal was not looking at me.

"Just say I'm irresistible Jinri," she giggled.

"Then I'm irresistible too right? Since you pecked my lips a lot of times," I said to herand grinned in satisfactory when I saw her looking away and not saying anything.

Taeyeon's POV

All of us were seated at the dining table. I was sitting beside Tiffany and opposite mewas my father. This was really awkward. I was playing with my fingers under the tableand Mr Hwang spoke up. "So Taeyeon, how is my daughter treating you?" he asked me.I looked at Tiffany and she glared at me.

"She doesn't want to be friends with me and because of her, I got this black eye," Ianswered. Why good would it do if I lied?

Tiffany kicked me under the table and I just smiled at her. She rolled her eyes andrested her head on the table. "You know you shouldn't put your head on the dining tableright?" I said to Tiffany.

She raised her head up and said, "I can do anything I want midget. This is my house."

"No it's not. Your father owns it," I said.

Tiffany stood up and wanted to walk away but her father stopped her and told her to sitback down. I stuck my tongue out at her and she pinched my thigh. Hey, that hurts!


57/257

"I wonder how you can still keep up with her Taeyeon. People would already give up,"Mr Hwang said, looking amused.

"Because he's weird daddy. He said so himself," said Tiffany and this time, she stuckher tongue out at me.

"I didn't know you can be cute~" I said in a singsong voice and pinched her cheeks. Shepushed my hands away and I could see that she was blushing. I heard Mr Hwangchuckled and stopped what I was doing.

"So KangIn how's your daughter? No one knows except for me right?" Mr Hwang said tomy father. KangIn appa told Mr Hwang? I wonder how close they are.

"She's getting dorkier, stronger, smarter and sadly, she's not growing any taller," KangInappa replied to Mr Hwang's question.

How can you be so mean appa! I am just in front of you! You even forget to say I'm

getting prettier! Yes, I am praising myself. I looked in front and saw KangIn appasmirking at me. I pouted at him and looked away.

"You have a daughter Uncle Kim?" Tiffany asked my father. Yes he does and it's me.

"Yeah and it's weird that her name is the same with the gentleman beside you," KangInappa replied and looked at me with a straight face.

"Her name is Kim Taeyeon too? Can I meet her? We can shop and do a sleep over,"Tiffany said. I was mesmerized when I saw her eyes forming into crescents. TiffanyHwang has an eye smile.


58/257

"I can do those things with you too you know," I purposely said it aloud.

"I don't trust you. What if you rape me at night? Besides, we're not even friends or a

couple," Tiffany said bluntly.

"I don't mind him being your boyfriend, Tiffany. He does not seem like a bad boy," MrHwang said and smiled at me.

"Thank you so much Mr Hwang," I said and bowed at him.

"Doesn't mean my father gave you permission I want you to be my boyfriend," Tiffanysaid coldly.

"Well, if you don't want to date this Taeyeon, why don't you date my Taeyeon then?"KangIn appa suggested.

What are you talking about appa? Are you helping me? If so, thank you appa! I will doanything you ask me to for a whole month!

"I'm straight Uncle Kim. I won't date any of them," Tiffany said.

Ouch, that's a double kill Tiffany. Why can't you like me?

"Mr Hwang, does Tiffany own a Korean name?" I asked. I just wanted to know.


59/257

I looked at Tiffany and saw her shaking her head at her father. Does she hate herKorean name that much? It will be fun to tease her then.

"Her Korean name is Miyoung," Mr Hwang replied. Tiffany face palmed herself andgroaned.

"Why do you hate it? I find it cute. Miyoungie~" I said and grinned.

"Say it once more and I will assure you that you will not have father's day," Tiffanygrowled at me.

Father's day? I don't even own that thing. I still have my period. I'd rather stay as a girlthan a guy since it's embarrassing when someone especially see a girl that you'rearoused.

"The food is here. Let's eat now and don't you two fight while eating," Mr Hwang saidsternly at the both of us.

Krystal's POV

"Stay with me for the night," I told Jinri. He looked surprised when I said that.

"But I'm a guy," Jinri stated.

"I don't care. I know you won't harm me," I said to him.

"Okay but I'm not going to sleep in this attire right?" Jinri said and took off his blazer.


60/257

"I bought you some clothes. You can use it for sleeping," I said and went to take one ofthe bags. I handed it to Jinri and he smiled.

"You didn't need to but thanks anyway. By the way, did you plan all of this?" Jinri askedwith one of his eyebrows raised.

"Sort of," I said and rubbed the back of my head.

"You're sneaky," Jinri said and hit my forehead. I pouted and he kissed my forehead.Stop with the skinships and kisses! You're making me fall harder for you! "I'll go changenow. Where's the bathroom?" he asked.

"You can change in front of me," I told him.

"I'm not proud of my body," he said.

"The bathroom is over there," I said and pointed to the corner. Tonight will be a peacefulnight for me~

Jinri left the bathroom with the clothes I bought him. It was just the right size for him. Hesat down beside me but we did not talk. "You can lie down you know," I said. Henodded and lied down. I joined beside him and snuggled close to him. He wrapped his

arm around my waist and tucked my head under his chin. "Goodnight Krystal," Jinri saidto me.

Tiffany's POV


61/257

I can't believe daddy told Taeyeon my Korean name! Now he's going to endlessly teaseme by calling me Miyoung. After dinner, I tried to escape to my room but Taeyeoncaught me and dragged me to a corner.

"What are you trying to do? Rape me?" I hissed at him.

"Why can't you think anything positive of me?" he asked me. "I just want you to workwith me for the project. It will just take a day."

"Didn't I say I don't want to work with you?" I said to him. Why am I being really cold to

him?

"Work with me only for tomorrow and the next two days, you won't see me," he said tome in a serious tone.

"What's with the two days?" I asked him.

"I got suspended for three days. So, just work with me for a day and I'll leave you alonefor the two days," he sighed.

"Fine. Pick me up tomorrow after lecture ends," I said to him. Everything will be normalwithout him disturbing me. Right?

"Thank you Miyoungie!" he said happily and hugged me.

I was lost for words. Why am I not pushing him away? Why am I not scolding him forcalling me Miyoung? "Let's join your dad and Mr Kim now," he said and dragged me tothe living room. I can't and won't fall for this midget! I'd rather date Uncle Kim's daughter


62/257

instead. However, Taeyeon looks a little like Uncle Kim. Is there something I'm missingout?


63/257

Chapter Eleven

Tiffany's POV

One day. It is only a day I will spend my time doing a project with him. He will be gonefor two days since he was suspended and I will be from him during that two days. I canfind a new date or maybe meet up with Uncle Kim's daughter.

I saw the midget standing at the gate with a big grin. He had a bouquet of flower in hishands and aviators on to hide his eye. I had to compliment him. He does know how tomake a girl fall for him. I am not saying I am falling for him. I was only complementing.

"Here are some flowers for you. I hope you like them," he said and handed the bouquetto me. I took it from him and muttered a thank you. "Let's get to my car now," he saidand held onto my hand all of the sudden.

"What are you doing and what do you mean by your car?" I asked coldly as I yanked myhand away from him. He could not just do anything he wants to me.

"I'm sorry," he said with a sigh. "Can't I own a car? Why are you looking at me like I'm apoor kid?"

How am I supposed to answer this? I only glared at him and he grabbed my wrist."Before we start doing the project, tell me why you hate me so much?" he asked meseriously. There was no escaping this.

"I don't really hate you okay. You just irritate me. I dislike people who are irritating me," Ianswered and pulled my wrist from his grip.

"That will do. Let's go now Miyoungie~" he chirped and walked to his car with a dorkygrin.


64/257

I was surprised when I saw his car. I knew it was expensive just by its look. "It's aMitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. I bought it with all the money I saved," he told me.

"Don't need to brag. Let's just get this project over with," I said and entered thepassenger seat right beside the driver's seat.

"Yes ma'am!" he saluted and entered the car. The more comfortable he gets with me,the more dorkier he gets. I wonder if he likes me or something. He did not show anyinterest in me though. Even if he confesses to me, I would say no anyways. He startedthe engine and drove to our destination.

The library? Why are we here? I hate reading. He looked at me with his head tilted anddragged me inside since I did not want to move at all. "Come on, the library isn't thatbad. I'm going to do all the readings anyway. You are only going to write," he told meand that calmed me in a way.

Okay, it sucks that Taeyeon is busy reading. I am bored to death! I took a glance at him

a few times and he was serious in reading the thick book. I fished out my phone frommy bag and played with it to entertain myself.

I rolled my eyes when I saw Taecyeon's message. It was his fault for being a jerk. I wasnot in love with him anyway. I don't think he even loves me at all. I deleted the messageand went on to play a game in my phone.

An hour had passed and my battery was left with only half. Blame Taeyeon for readingtoo slow. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He closed the book and did some stretching."Sorry for taking a long time to read. Are you ready to write now?" he asked and handedme a notebook and pen.


65/257

"Yeah," I answered casually. He smiled and began to tell me about the book and wrotedown the important points. Half an hour later, we were already finished with the writtentask and was left with photo taking.

I wonder how much Taeyeon earns. He owns a bike, a car and now a camera. Is heactually from a rich family? If he is one, I would have seen him at balls or parties already.So, it is out of the list. "Hey Tiffany," he called out. "Can you stand there and pose forthe camera? This will be the last shot."

After we ended the project, he invited me for dinner but I rejected his offer and told himto drive me home straight away. Halfway through the ride, I heard his stomachgrumbled but chose to ignore it. It was his fault that he did not have a heavy lunch.

"Can't we just go and get some food? What if I faint in the car and get us into anaccident?" Taeyeon whined and pouted afterwards.

"Let me drive then," I said to him and unbuckled my seat belt.

"Fine," Taeyeon whined again and continued driving. "You're cold and heartless. Iwonder why I even want to be friends with you when you are treating me like this," hemuttered. I rolled my eyes at his statement.

"Give up then," I said to him. I heard him sighed. I put in my earphones since the carwas silent and blasted the songs playing in my phone.

We were almost reaching my mansion but the midget stopped his car and went out. Hemust be really hungry. He entered the crowded marketplace and was gone from sight. Ilooked at the driver's seat and saw the key still hanging. I was debating whether Ishould just drive away with his car or wait. Daddy told me to take my time with Taeyeonbut I did not want to. I wanted to be as far as possible from him. Why am I feeling emptyall of the sudden though? I got out of the car and decided to explore the marketplace. Itwill only be my luck if I see him.


66/257

Krystal's POV

I woke up still feeling sleepy. Jinri was still sleeping soundly although the sound of my

alarm clock was ringing. I planted a light kiss on his cheek and went to take a quickshower before waking both Jinri and my sister up.

My face flushed and I held onto my towel when I saw that Jinri was already awake. Hewas rubbing his eye, not aware of my presence at all. When he did, he smiled at meand stood up from the bed. "Can you lend me a towel?" he asked. I nodded my headand told him that it was in the bathroom. He grabbed his uniform and entered thebathroom.

I pinched my cheeks and shook my head. Jinri saw me with only nothing but a towel. Iquickly put on my undergarments and uniform. I went to my sister's room and locked thedoor. "What's wrong with you?" she asked me.

My thoughts were left aside as my jaw hung low. Jessica unnie is already awake? Shehit my forehead and I snapped out. "You're awake without my help unnie?" I said to herin shock.

"So what? You should be happy. Anyways, what's wrong with you?" Jessica unnieasked in an annoyed tone.

My face heated up and I covered my face with my hair. "Jinri saw me only in a towel," Ianswered shyly.

"He what? Did he touch you or do anything to harm you?" Jessica unnie shouted. Icovered my ears and glared at her.


67/257

"Keep it down will ya. He wouldn't do anything to me. He didn't look flushed at all," I saidto her.

"Is he gay?" Jessica unnie asked bluntly.

"I thought of the same thing but I don't he is since he blush every time I kiss him," Ianswered her question.

"I'm done Krystal! When are we leaving?" I heard Jinri's voice from my room.

"Your boyfriend's calling. Better go," Jessica unnie said and pushed me out of her room.

"He's not my boyfriend yet!" I shouted at my sister as my face turned red.

I felt a pair of arms embracing me and I melt into the hug. I smelt my scent on Jinri and

grinned. "Shall we go now, Krystal? We'll get our breakfast along the way," Jinri said tome. I nodded my head and held onto his hand.

"Unnie, we'll be going first~" I chirped.

"Take care of my Soojung, Jinri. Don't let anything or anyone harm her," Jessica unniesaid icily.

"O-okay noona," Jinri stuttered. Why is everyone afraid of my sister except for Tiffanyunnie, my parents and I? Even our cousins are afraid of her.


68/257

"Let's go now, Jinri," I said and we walked out of the school and walked to the bus stop.

--

"What do you want to eat Soojungie?" Jinri asked me as he grinned at me. I felt my faceheat up when he called my Korean name. The way he called me was so cute that Icould die! I'm exaggerating too much.

"I will just have a sandwich and juice," I answered.

Jinri nodded his head and ordered. A few minutes later, our orders arrived and we atewhile continuing to walk to the bus stop.

Taeyeon's POV

I don't care. I have to eat. I should have taken a heavy meal during lunch if I knew thiswas going to happen. I stopped the engine and went out of my car. I entered themarketplace and went to search for food.

The place was really crowded. A child could get easily lost in this place. Carefullywatching my steps while making my way to the food stall, I bumped into someone. Theperson managed to catch me before I fall to the ground.

"You should really be careful Taeyeon," the person chuckled. I looked up and saw that itwas Wooyoung. I pushed him away from me and looked down in embarrassment.

"That wasn't cool dude," I told him.

Wooyoung shrugged and ruffled my hair. He put his arm around my neck and asked,"So, where to?"


69/257

What is he doing? Does he like me or something? He is always clingy whenever he iswith me. He looks jealous too whenever Tiffany is being close to me.

"I'm hungry. So, I left Tiffany alone in my car and went here to buy food for my emptystomach," I replied and made my way back to where I was going.

"I'll treat you Taeng. I bet Tiffany won't even treat you," Wooyoung said and pulled meto the tteokbokki stall.

"Thanks Wooyoung," I said and walked happily to the stall.

After filling up my stomach, I spot Tiffany from a distance. She was queuing up for food.I grinned and squeezed my way to her spot. I felt my heart break when I saw hermaking out with a random guy. I clenched my fist and grabbed her wrist. "What are youdoing out here? You're supposed to stay in the car," I said to her angrily.

She rolled her eyes at me. "Why would you care? You're not my boyfriend. You'resupposed to send me home by the way. Not leave the car just because you're hungry,"she said to me coldly.

"You know what. That's it. I'm sick of trying. I give up for real now. Do whatever youwant," I gritted and walked away. I had been patient all this while but she does not seemto appreciate it. Goodby

A New Life as a Guy
