AN: Baek Seung Jo's POV, what fun to write!

Expecting a night of tiresome classmates and wondering, Seung Jo had been surprised to find Ha Ni here, surrounded by her friends and alarmed to see him.

Their animated teacher is shouting as usual. 'Ahjushi, how could you do this?'

'Hey, Baek Seung-Jo. Why are you here?' Seung Jo recognises that twang.

Ahh, Bong Joon-Gu, the idiot that ran off with Ha Ni on his back on results day. Could it be more comic? It would be worth his while to hang around just to rile this guy. Plus what else did he have to do tonight.

'It seems like they already have everything ready, so let's just stay here.' Seung Jo said sliding onto a seat as the rest of his class took theirs.

Could Bong Joon Gu be any more pathetic? Life's navigation? Ha! The animated dancing and over the top singing is enough to have the room in fits of laughter. Yet when Joon Gu reaches for Ha Ni's hand something grates inside Seung Jo. He could hit this guy, it's a peculiar feeling and he holds it down and turns away.

Having zoned out after the performance Seung Jo isn't listening to the teachers' newest argument, but he picks up on the mention of Parang University and the implications.

'Teacher, I told you that wasn't it. It wasn't because of her. To think that my life is in the dumps, because of a stupid girl like her…it's an insult.' If she wants Joon-Gu then she can have him. Seung Jo wants to get under her skin and unsettle her the way she's unsettled him.

'Stupid?' Ha Ni-yahs hurt little voice cracks.

'And a troublesome one at that,' Seung Jo says turning to face her.

'Baek Seung-Jo!' she shouts. 'It's true that I've been a bit troublesome to you.'

'A bit?'

'A lot,' she says glancing at the eyes around her. 'She really is an idiot,' someone shouts from the back.

'I was taught to never boast about what you yourself didn't earn, do you have the right to look down on people just because you were born smart?'

His face loses all humour, her words put him down but he won't accept them.

'Nobody is putting anyone down people put themselves down. That's what you call an inferiority complex.' Everyone laughs and he wonders if she will cry.

'Bad Jerk,' she says looking down, 'A jerk that doesn't even have one grain of human feelings. Rude, cold, and bringer of bad luck!'

He knows she is upset and yet he wants her to admit it, all of it.

'And how come you love that rude, cold, and bringer of bad luck jerk?' He asks.

'What?' she looks genuinely surprised.

'You said that you're happy and that you liked the idea of me going there. Even your textbook has my name written all over. How could you have even studied like that?'

His name had been scrawled on every page, he sincerely wanted to know how she was capable of reading it. He smirks but her expression is dark now.

'Is that so? You really want to take it that far? In that case, I have something up my sleeve too.' The corner of her mouth pulls up minutely.

Sure, of course you do, he thinks. What could she come up with?

'You are prepared for this, right?' Ripping a photo from her pocket she throws it into the air and he can't believe it.

'Everyone, I present to you little Baek Seung-Jo!' The look of triumph on her face is madly infuriating.

'Did you really think I'd only have one copy? And here you call yourself a genius?' Her friends had tugged it out of her grip and it was now making the rounds of the room.

Her face is all kinds of confident and it makes him want to shake her. How does she manage this time and again? Snatching the photo out of the frenzy of interested students he grabs her arm. 'You, come with me.'

They go down a few corridors until they're in a courtyard and he's sure the class can't over hear. Backing her up to the wall he refuses to let go of her hand, she pulls and pulls until he releases it.

'What do you think you're doing?' she shouts up at his stoic face. His hands itch to grab her but he places one against the wall and leans towards her. That was one of the most embarrassing periods of his life, put upon him by his mother, and Oh Ha Ni had shown it to everyone.

'What? What are you going to do?' she asks with increasing confusion. They are inches apart and he can almost feel the air move as she talks.

'What do you think I'll do?' he asks the nervous eyes in front of him.

'I won't be scared even if you try to!' she bites her mouth as she speaks and looks up at him. 'You made me the target of ridicule in front of everyone because of what I felt for you. I was just getting even,' she says.

She looks away, 'But I want to quit now. I don't want to like you anymore.'

He wants to understand this mind of hers. 'Can you do that?' something made him uncomfortable in her words.

'Of course, I can!' she says. 'Baek Seung-Jo, I've already come to understand how exhausting your temper is. My crush will come to an end along with this graduation. I'm going to stop now.'

He leans in closer until they are a breath apart. 'You're going to forget me?'

'Yes, I'll get over the likes of you, and I'll try to meet someone at college…'

She was going to try to meet someone else. His heart collides with his ribs and he tenses against the words.
Her and someone else would be standing like this, someone else looking down at her, wanting to kiss her; months of her following them, trying to be near them, succeeding and finding they like her back.

'Then try to forget me.' Before she can try and escape he presses his lips to hers. Held in that moment together, she opens her mouth in surprise and he's taken in by the innocence of it. Pulling away he can feel his heart going faster and faster. How could I have made this more complicated?

She catches his eye and he knows they felt the same thing. She stands there stunned as he steps away to cover himself.

'Looks like that won't be the case.' He says walking away before she can respond, and he finds himself lost. 'Merong,' he says, though he could be talking about either of them.

Review and tell me what you think. I love this show.
