Just another HS story- Chapter 9
-CHAPTER 9-
Today is the day where I have to take out the trash. When I opened the door however, I found a big rectangular box in my front door.
“What the heck?” I muttered and took it inside the house. On the box, there was a paper on it. I picked it up and read it.
“This is… a contract?” I said, confused. On the contract it read that something about a man named Park TaeSik giving money to Kim Jaejoong. That’s me.
Then suddenly, it all came back to me, all the things that had happened yesterday. Aw curses, this must be the “thanks” that I’m getting. I opened the box and gasped. It was full of cold, hard, cash. I read the contract again.
“50, 000, 000 Won?!? (Around 50,000 $)” I nearly yelled. The contract also had the signature of this Mr. Park TaeSik who is probably Euna’s father stating simply that all this money belonged to me and that it was now my sole property and that he cannot reclaim it and etc etc.
“WHAT-THE-F“
~ ~ ~
I don’t know how, but I plan on returning that money. Not because of some stupid moral value crap but rather just because I have a bad feeling about this. It’s too much money. Too much money is never good; it’s just scary. I have to return it, but I can’t even talk to Euna…
How am I going to do this?
As I entered class there was suddenly a boom of whispers. I looked around confused and saw, to my great demise, a pink package on my desk with a pink sating bow on it. I glared at Euna for just one second and went to my seat. Euna was smiling softly, pretending to read a book. Junsu was looking at me with worried eyes.
“This is what she thought as thanks?!” I thought, trying to keep myself composed and making sure that my hair was very much in my face. I sat down on my seat and put the pink package on the floor.
“Hey open it!” somebody said. Soon, the whole class joined in to encourage me to open the package, but I didn’t move. Then, the teacher came in a started class. Oh, how I love how the teachers start class on time in this school.

As soon as class ended, I grabbed my things (and the pink package) and dashed out of the class. Junsu followed me. I got to my locker, opened it, threw my stuff (including the pink package) inside, took out my lunch and locked it tightly.
“You’re not going to open it?” Junsu said, looking very curious.
“Nope. Let’s go eat” I said and pulled Junsu with me to the cafeteria. It is quite loud in the cafeteria today; almost everybody was chatting. We quickly made our way through the crowd and were heading to our table until…
“Hey, Jaejoong-sshi” somebody called me. I turned around and saw that it was the super hot guy from my class. He’s with a bunch of also handsome friends.
“Yes?”
“You want to sit with us?” he asked me in a cool way though I detected some superiority in the way he said it.
“Nah, its okay” I said casually with a smile and before I could even make a move to go back to my table where hungry Changmin was waiting, something really freaky happened. The whole cafeteria went dead silent. This is very freaky.
“Are you sure?” the hot guy asked, as if nothing happened and that the cafeteria didn’t go completely silent.
“Um, yeah. I’m sitting with my friends. Thanks, though!” I said as nicely as I could and dragged Junsu back to our normal table. It was still silent. Rich people are so weird.
Back at my table with Junsu and Changmin, I whispered into Changmin’s ear.
“Did I say something wrong…?”
“You just refused to sit with the most popular guy in school” he whispered back, looking very astonished himself.
“Is that bad?”
“I don’t know, nobody has done it before”
Suddenly, in the mist of all the silence, IU came frolicking in to us. When she actually arrived to us and saw our three confused faces (except mine because she couldn’t see past my hair), she asked…
“Why is it so silent?” she said, looking around.
“Jaejoong just refused an offer to sit with Yunho” Changmin whispered back to her. Ohhh, so Yunho is his name…
“No, really?” she said, surprised. The whispers started emerging. We waited until it got bigger so it would cover up our conversation. IU took a seat next to Changmin. Me and Junsu sat faced to them. The rest of our table became empty.
IU sighed and looked at me with pitiful eyes (pity for me, that is).
“Oh Jaejoong, my poor child! How you are courageous! My eyes cannot behold the suffering that you’re going through!” she said, patting my head softly. She sounds like some kind of medieval queen lady.
“Um… did you watch too many sad historical dramas recently?” I asked her. She nodded her head slowly, a tear in the corner of her eyes.
“Oh you poor, poor child~ ~ ~” she said with her voice sounding like an old female trot singer. I decided to ignore her.
“Changmin. Here’s you’re lunch” I said to Changmin, taking out some galbi I made for him today. He took it happy, but then put it down and looked at me seriously.
“What…? Is he that scary? That Yunho person didn’t look like a bad person…” I said.
“Yea, but he has a fanclub Jaejoong. A fanclub” Changmin said, strongly insisting on the word “fanclub”.
“And they’re all girls?” I said, not impressed. Changmin nodded.
“Hyung, seriously, you should watch out. They get pretty crazy especially when they feel that their idol is attacked” Junsu warned.
“Yea, but they’re a bunch of girls” I said, insisting on the word “girl”.
“But united, they stand and can become a fearful threat” IU said wistfully doing some sort of weird ancient hang gestures with a random handkerchief that she seemingly pulled out of nowhere.
During the rest of lunch time, I just ate while listening to warnings. They told me stories about how some girls who tried getting close to Yunho mysteriously quitted school or others who never dared to speak a word to anybody after they tried getting close to Yunho.
“I don’t get why this is a threat to me” I said swallowing my last bite “he’s the one who wants to approach me, and not the other way around” I said.
“But you denied his will” IU said. Her weird ways of talking is starting to piss me off a little “and now, you placed yourself in a grave situation”
“Ok, ok fine. I’ll watch my back then” I said nonchalantly.
“We’ll help you too” Changmin said.
But seriously, I really don’t know what the big idea is. I really don’t see what a bunch of girls could threaten me with.
