Chapter 2: A Normal Day Of School

Kim Ji-Hoon has slept on the couch for the night while Saku Hana slept in his room on his bed. The next day, it should be Tuesday... He wakes up early like always. The first thing he does is get himslef ready for another day of school. After getting ready, he goes to check on Saku.

-Kim Ji-Hoon slowly opens the door to his room and walks in

-Saku is having a fitful sleep, maybe a nightmare

-Ji-Hoon walks over to her and reaches out to rub her head

-Right before touching her, he suddenly hesitates

 

"Wait... why am I..."

 

-Kim Ji-Hoon is confused by his almost unthought action

-He knows that he would never think about soothing a girl on a regular day... so why did he suddenly have the urge to soothe Saku Hana out of her nightmare?

-Saku throws the blanket off again and turns away from Ji-Hoon

-Ji-Hoon notices quickly how the shirt he put her in covered her to an extent when Saku's legs became extremely exposed

-Ji-Hoon quickly covers her legs up and lets out a slow breath... He can feel the blood rush to his face...

 

"Aigoo!! Why is this happening now?!"

 

-After letting himself cool off, Ji-Hoon sits down on the bed beside Saku

-Saku is clutching the pillow... teeth clenched and he notices tears slowly falling down her cheek

-Kim Ji-Hoon doesn't stop to think this time and rubs her head, moving the hair out of her face

"You don't look pretty like that... stop dreaming whatever you are dreaming..."

-He begins to hum again and Saku finds peace again... she settles down

-Ji-Hoon takes note of the time and gets up

"I guess you'll sleep through the whole day... so when school is over... hopefully you'll still be knocked out..."

-Kim Ji-Hoon covers Saku completely and walks out of the room

-Before leaving the house for school, Ji-Hoon leaves a note on his coffee table for Saku

 

"Hey Drama Queen, if you wake up before I come back then know that you are in 'The Intelligent B*****d's house, so don't ruin anything!"

 

A block away from his house, he finds Amai waiting for him. The two greet each other and head off to school. Right before entering the school campus, Ji-Hoon and Amai are greeted by Omoiagatta and Sugureta. The four greet each other.

-Omoiagatta yawns

"Sleep well?"

-Sugureta snorts

"I did, but I'm pretty sure you didn't. Probably up all night with that chick!"

-Amai smiles

"Glad to know you guys had a good night, but shouldn't we be heading in now?"

-Kim Ji-Hoon groans at the thought

"Yeah, before the screaming fan girls attack us again..."

 

Baddobōizu made their way through the school campus and as usual, they got ambushed... the school day went as followed: The four split into their respective classes, ate lunch and signed autographs for fan girls, ended the school day, got ambushed going out the door, and fought their way to the direction they needed to go to get home. Once they were alone, they siad goobyes...

Sugureta informed the others about an upcoming gig at the local hangout

"We need to get there right after school tomorrow so we get there on time. We play until 8 unless they want us to play an encore."

-Amai sighs

"They always want us to play an encore!!"

-Kim Ji-Hoon rolls his eyes

"How much are we getting paid?"

-Omoiagatta answers Ji-Hoon

"We are each getting paid $7 an hour... so... you calculate: we play at 3-8. And we get paid $10 extra for any extra hours we play... and we usually have to play for 2 extra hours... you're good at math, right Kim Ji-Hoon?"

-Ji-Hoon snorts

" If I was not, then this whole band would have gone down the gutters! I have to go so... see you tomorrow."

 

Kim Ji-Hoon finally makes it home... and when he walks in, Saku Hana is just waking up... As he walks in the front door, she is walking out of his room...

-Saku is rubbing her head as she shuts the door, confused by her surroundings

"Where am I... Why am I wearing this?"

-Ji-Hoon looks up to see Saku Hana coming out of his room... and the blood rushes to his head again... The shirt he put on her... although it was long, it really only ended maybe 6 inches from her waist...

-He rubs his face and looks away for a second... and when he looks back, Saku is staring right at him

-She doesn't seem to have noticed his moment of embarrassment

-Ji-Hoon doesn't know what to say first, slightly worried that she would suddenly break into a fit of rage...

"Uh... hehe, you're... awake, finally!"

-Saku Hana's confusion is clear

"Is this... your... wait, why am I..."

-A few moments pass as Saku finally remembers what happended

"Oh my... I am so... oh gods!! Wait, where are my things?!"

-While she is talking, Saku tries to pull the shirt down more to cover herself better

-Ji-Hoon looks away to assure her he wasn't looking and points back to his room

"You should go change..."

-Ji-Hoon waits until he hears the door close before looking back

"Aish... this was a lot more awkward than I thought it would be..."

When Saku comes back out, she is wearing a pair of jeans and a short sleeved shirt... she is pulling her things behind her

-Kim Ji-Hoon watches as Saku makes her way to the door

-She drops her things and looks back at him

"I'm sorry for causing this much trouble... but I still won't let the apology go..."

-She prepares to walk out when Ji-Hoon calls out

"I already apologized to your friend Drama Queen!"

-Saku stops and whips her head around to look at Ji-Hoon

"Wait, you apologized?!"

-Kim Ji-Hoon leans back on the couch and nods

"Yeah... I did on Monday, you weren't there though to see... Come to think of it, what were you doing on Monday?"

-Saku glares at him

"That is my business..." her glare softens, "But, thank you... for finally apologizing... Hiai is probably doing so much better now..."

-Saku bows slightly and grabs her things, again preparing to leave

-Ji-Hoon calls out again

"Where are you going to go, huh?"

-Saku looks back

"Not your concern... I'll be fine... thank you..."

"Yeah, you, all bruised and cut up, limping out of my house, to go back to that gazebo in the park? I think I should be concerned... I really don't understand how you can care about someone with such a little problem like Hiai and not worry about yourself who has the world on her shoulders..."

-Saku is getting a little anoyed now

"Ji-Hoon, you never payed attention to me before, so don't start now! I know I've caused you a lot of problems and all, so don't get tangled in with my life! You'll be less troubled then! I will deal with my problems on my own!"

-Before Ji-Hoon could get the chance to answer, Saku storms out of the house

 

That night, Ji-Hoon can't help but wonder what trouble Saku could be getting herself into...

"How can she be like that? That drama queen is going to work herself into her own grave if she keeps trying to do things on her own!!"

 

"Wait a minute, why am I caring so much about Saku Hana?! That Drama Queen only brings trouble to me so why am I so concerned? I'm just troubling myself more!!"

 

-He begins to question his actions when his cell phone suddenly rings, breaking him out of his concentration

-Ji-Hoon picks up his cell

"Baddobōizu financer Kim Ji-Hoon... who is speaking?"

"Kim Ji-Hoon, its your aunt... do you have time?"

Author's Note

You see how Kim Ji-Hoon really reacts around Saku... and even his concern comes out more as Saku appears more and more with new issues and troubles of her own!

So you don't have to do the math, Baddobōizu should be getting paid at least $62 each... i think >_<
