It was one of those stupid things that got out of control.
She felt like a fool.
"I can't believe you did that." Bo Oon said for the seventh time that day.
Neither could she , actually.
What kind of a foolish, idiotic , completely brainless person would-
"I hope you aren't gonna chicken out of this bet , Gyu Wonnie. There's no way in hell I'm letting you back out of it." Lee Shin called from across the cafeteria , and she felt her face flame.
Great.
Now the entire school was gonna know about the stupid bet.
She took a sip of her orange juice and then groaned as her mind flashed back to the morning.
"I've heard your music too. It didn't touch me in my heart."
The words hit her sensitive spot.
Her music.
There was no way in hell, this guy was gonna insult her music and get away with it.
"What? Do you even know what traditional music is?"
"I know enough to say I don't think its that great." He was sneering at the greatest gift to mankind.
What kind of a brute was he? Just because he had more than his fair share of looks, he was going to belittle her music?
"Traditional music has soul. Not like that lifeless noise that you call your music." She snapped at him, her eyes flaming. She was vaguely aware that he still clutched her wrist in an annoying alpha male stance. She tried yanking it away but his hold tightened.
"Wanna bet?"
The voice was low, soft and sent something scurrying up her nerves.
"Bet?" She wanted to snap, but it came out as a squeal.
"That's right. Let's bet. We'll have a competition . If I lose... I'll do your bidding for a month."
She scoffed. She was going to knock this narcissistic prince so far off his high horse that he would be reeling with it for months on end.
"Fine. One month two month , you name it. "
"Let me finish."
He released her wrists, but moved closer to her and she felt her eyes widen in fear. She wasn't tall and he towered over her menacingly even though they were both kneeling on the ground.
"If you lose... You give me one night."
She was pretty sure her entire brain froze at that.
She raised her hands, ready to slap the smirk right off his arrogant face, but he grabbed her wrist again.
"No one touches me ... unless I give permission. I'm sure that's how it works with you as well, right? So those are my terms. One months of slavery against one night with the hottest guy in college. Come on Gyu Won , you win either way." He said silkily pulling her into an embrace that made her feel simultaneously revolted and attracted.
"Get the fuck out of my face." She said through gritted teeth.
"I see. So traditional music isn't worth defending with your soul?" He sneered, pulling her even closer. They were almost nose to nose. His breath tingled her face and she felt her body tingle as he lowered one hand to her waist, pulling it swiftly to his own. She tried to calm her pounding heart. lee Shin apparently was equally aroused.
She felt it against her stomach.
The shock of this discovery was what mobilized her. Pulling both her hands with a sharp yank she all but scarpered out of the way, crawling as far from him as possible.
"You're a pervert!" She screamed at him.
"Maybe. Those are my terms. Besides, from the way you behave, one would think you've already decided that traditional music is going to lose. If you can admit that, that's enough for me I guess." He gave another angelic smile.
"What?!"
"Since traditional music has soul, it should win. So its not like I'm blackmailing you to sleep with me or something. All you have to do is win and then you can boss me around for a month. But clearly you're confident of losing."
"Fine. "
The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them.
To her utter surprise, she saw a look of shock pass his face.
So he hadn't expected her to agree?
The low-handed creep.
"Yes. I'm agreeing to your terms. I'll spend the night with you."
"What the-? Are you crazy? I was just kidding !" He looked plainly disturbed now.
"Are you gonna back down now? What is it? Aren't you man enough to carry out your threats." She sneered back at him.
His entire face clouded as she realized she had gone one step too far. She started to spologize but he cut her short.
"Not man enough? I'm gonna show you just how much of a man I am . Don't regret this later ." He gritted out as he stood up.
"Bring it on , you narcissistic jerk!" She yelled at his retreating back.
She sank back against the wall.
Oh God, what had she done?
She snapped back to the present and took another sip of her juice.
"Gather the girl Bo oona. This is war and I'm going to squash him like the bug that he is." She said through gritted teeth as she stood up.
