Only Rose | Jinguji Ren
I did Jinguji Ren since I noticed that I was doing S Class first...but since he's a ladies man; that's what he will be in this little short story!
You glared at Jinguji Ren who sat in front of you. Currently, you were studying your music in the library but Ren suddenly appeared, saying that he would like to study with you. It wasn't like you guys had a bad relationship, but you thought of him as a rival. Ever since the first time you met him during the first day of Satome Gakuen, you had disliked the way he acted. He had good music taste and a good voice for an idol, but he was singing towards his fan girls and skipping classes.
It was actually good thing that this arrogant guy has met the good Haruka Nanami. "It was a good thing Nanami-san had helped you or else you would have been kicked out of this school." You said as you opened your book. You felt Ren smirk and looked up with a uninterested expression.
"Ho? Is Neko-chan finally caring for me?" He asked in a slightly teasing voice. You raised a brow and held in your really rude retort.
"No I am not Jinguji." You said as you close your eyes. "If you did leave the school, then I would have won but it wouldn't be a good win either way." You said cooly. You stacked a bunch of books and stood up with them in your hands. You were going to go study in your own room so it would be less distracting.
"Neko-chan is already leaving?" Ren asked before he stared at the books in your hand. He wore a smirk and took half the amount from your arms. "Since I am a gentleman, I will help you carry these." He said.
You blinked, "Are you sure?" You asked, "I am going to my own room. Shouldn't I just take them all?"
Ren shook his head and started to follow you towards your room in the girl's dorm. You opened your room a little and walked in, making sure that Ren didn't see your room. You looked around with a sigh, the left side was yours and the bed was filled with cute stuff animals. Ren tried to stick his head from outside but you took a pillow and placed it in front of his head. "You can't come in." You said, your face almost turning red.
You grabbed the books from Ren's hand and closed the door in front of his face. You heard his footsteps fade away slowly. You slid down the door and sighed, hugging the books to yourself. You sat on your desk and decided to continue studying.
It was the first day of Satome Gakuen for you. You had always wanted to become in the music field. It was something new to you and you thought it was interesting. You were always good at studying other subjects but this time you had set a new goal onto becoming good in music. You family were proud of you already but supported you with your new goal nevertheless.
That day you were in a good mood, it felt like no one could ever destroy it. You walked around the school, humming under your voice. What had brought to this good mood? You were actually placed in S class.
You then heard a song, it was slightly gentle, full of passion. You started to follow it and despite your like to the music, you heard some squeals. You looked to the side when and found that there was a guy sitting there. Long orange hair, fashionable clothes and he was playing a saxophone. The girls around him were squealing with joy.
You closed your eyes and walked away. It was slightly annoying how he had only played for the fun. Was it just because he was playing to those fan girls? What a player, you had thought to yourself.
"Oi...Neko-chan, wake up." A deep voice called out towards you. You jolted awake from your desk and looked around, rubbing your own eyes. Had you fell asleep? You never actually noticed.
"R-Ren!?" You said out loud in pure shock. "W-What are you doing here? You didn't sneak in here did you?" You inquired, sending him a glare. Ren only smiled widely at you.
"Of course not. But since everyone already left, I was thinking of bringing you to a cafe." Ren said as he brought a chair next to you and played with your hair.
You blushed and looked to the side, standing up. "N-No thank you Jinguji. I rather not be copped up in some cafe. I'll just go somewhere myself." You said as you stood up.
"You're not going to go outside dressed like that, are you?" Ren asked. You looked down at yourself. Were you wearing something bad? Blinking, you were only wearing your uniform.
"Eh? What's so bad about the uniform?" You asked confused. He shook his head before going outside, waving his hand behind him.
"I'll wait until you change. Something presentable will be nice." He said with a wink.
You slammed the door in front of him, and fumed. Did he think that you were going to change just for him? You clicked your tongue and looked through your closet, scanning through the clothes on what to wear. In two minutes, you suddenly slapped yourself on your forehead. What have you been doing? You could have just wear something random, it wasn't like you needed to please him.
You wore a normal blouse with a jacket over it. You wore some shorts and had some black knee socks on. Grabbing a short brown boot on the side, you placed it on your foot. You combed your frizzy hair and yawned before opening the door slightly. You looked left and right, there. He was nowhere to be seen. With a sigh, you stepped out, not before you were grabbed by your arm.
"Did you think I would leave already, Neko-chan?" Ren asked with a wink. He smiled at you as he started to walk, "Let's go."
"Who said I would go with you, Jinguji?" You asked, crossing your arms. Ren only smiled at you with content. It was as if he knew what you were going to say.
"Of course you're going with me. If you aren't...then I'll drag you with me." He said as he grabbed your hand. You blushed, you had only noticed this now but his hands were way bigger than yours. It was also quite warm.
Jinguji Ren, a pure playboy. One who was rich, going to become an heir to the Jinguji industry. For some reason though, you noticed that many people had given him looks. Winking at him, giving giggles...they were all trying to flirt with him. You looked at Ren who was only looking ahead. He was holding your hands tightly too.
Some of the girls you two had passed, giving you a glare. "Is there a problem, miss?" Ren asked as he caught on to this eye contact. The girl only gushed at his looks and shook her head.
"There's no problem. I just saw something in that girl's hair." She said looking at you with pure hate. "I was thinking if I could help her out." She said as she reached towards you.
"Please leave us alone." Ren said as he pushed you behind him. "If you wouldn't mind." Ren said before walking away. You looked up at Ren and looked back at the girl who had stomped her foot onto the cement pavement and bit her fake nail before scurrying off.
"Jinguji?" You asked, your voice was a bit gentle. "Is there something wrong?" You bit your bottom lip, he seemed a bit different today. You never knew that he wouldn't go with other girls. The whole time you had known him, he had always been with other girls just flirting with them freely. He even had flirted with Haruka...
Ren flashed you a smile. "Nothing is wrong. How about we go to the cafe I was saying before?" You only nodded, thinking you should leave the topic as that. The both of you ordered your own things, Ren ordered a doughnut while you ordered a ice cream sundae. When the orders came, Ren was talking about different things and you only nodded your head. You weren't even getting angry at him. The peace was actually nice for a change.
"You have something there." Ren said suddenly when you had taken a bite from your sundae. You tilted your head.
"Where is it?" You said, wearing a confused expression. You watched Ren leaning in and you squeezed your eyes shut but only to find out that he took a napkin to wipe it off. "Ah...Thanks." You said awkwardly. You inwardly face palmed at yourself, wondering what you had expected.
"Want to try some?" Ren asked, holding up his doughnut.
You sighed loudly as you flopped yourself onto your bed. You looked to the side to see your roommate who gave you a weird look. "What's wrong? Had a bad day or something?" She asked coolly. You never got along with her much but the only reason she was actually tolerable towards you was that she never dared to talk about Ren. She was actually one of the fan girls, self proclaimed the president of the fan girl club.
You really disliked it when she had talked about Ren all the time. So you two made a deal. You would never be interested in Ren and you would even try to help Ren like her. On her side, she will never talk about Ren in front of you much unless it was something important and unfangirly and second was that she would make the other fans lay their hands off you.
"Ah it's nothing" You said closing your eyes, "I'm just tired today." She only nodded before turning the light off and going off to sleep herself. You sighed stiffly, if she had known that you spent a whole day with Ren himself, she'll probably call off the whole 'deal' and literally kill you.
At the cafeteria, you were sitting next to your roommate silently eating your lunch. The girl was sighing, her brain was probably switched towards la-la land. The chair moved and you both turned to see Ren sitting there.
"Jinguji." You stated with a blunt expression.
"[First Name]." He answered before smiling, "Or should I say Neko-chan?"
"What are you doing here?" You asked as you took a spoonful of curry. Your roommate was squealing as she looked from you and Ren. You looked at her, giving her a mental signal on how she could fawn as much as she wanted on Ren.
"R-Ren-san." She said as she smiled widely. "I-It's nice to meet you." She said with a stutter; Ren only flashed a smile at her.
"I don't think we have ever met." Ren said as he took a lock of the girl's hair. Your roommate blushed crazily and you let out a sigh. You stood up, and took your tray away.
"I'll let you two have some time." You answered strictly. You bowed before walking away to place the tray away. Ren stared at your figure that was walking away and stood up.
"W-Where are you going, Ren-san?" She asked. Ren didn't answer and started to follow you outside.
"What are you doing here?" You muttered under your breath as you leaned against a tree. The sun was setting and the wind was blowing ever so steadily. "Weren't you with my roommate? She always wanted to talk to you..." You casted your eyes down.
Ren stopped in his tracks. He didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was tense..."Are you perhaps jealous, Neko-chan?" Ren asked.
You blushed and punched him softly on his arm. "Stupid Jinguji...I won't fall for you. Plus it's not even a option to fall in love with others." You let out a sigh and twirled around, placing your hand behind your head. "Ah...Forget about this tense atmosphere already." You only gave Ren a small smile, "You should really go back. Wouldn't want your fans to wait, correct?"
You felt a soft pat on your head. You looked up. "...Jinguji?" For some reason, you were lost at words. Nothing could come out after. His passionate eyes were staring down at you, his whole expression holding onto a serene expression.
"Baka." He breathed out. The next thing that happened was so sudden, you literally froze to a stone.
"J-Jinguji!" You said loudly, your face red as tomato. Ren shook his head, "W-What is it now…?"
"Call me by my name." He answered.
You shook your head and crossed your arms. "Hmph. I will not Jinguji."
Ren only smirked before his lips fell into a smile, "You won't even call the person you like by their name?"
You blinked and looked down, "I-I am calling by your name!" You said knowing that it was his family name but even so, it was part of his 'whole' name.
Ren smiled a bit, "You're the only rose I would pick, Darling."
"B-Be quiet Re- Jinguji!" You said, pointing a finger, "Enough of your chessy lines." Ren only chuckled before dragging you off somewhere...again.
Thank you for reading. Until the next guy, hope you enjoy this one.
