CLASS 12
“Kyaaaaaa~ What should I do?? Should I answer it?
Dahyunnieeee!” Jiahee rushed into Dahyun’s room. It’s maybe just a simple phone
call from G.O but she doesn’t know why she feels nervous and don’t know what to
do. She wants to answer but she just can’t talk to him directly.
“Why?” Dahyun puzzled.
“This! Please answer it for me??” Jiahee hands her phone to
Dahyun.
“G.O?” Dahyun asked her back after take a look at the
phone screen. Jiahee’s nodded and her face full of hope. “Why me?” Dahyun’s
voice a bit high. “Hyunie pleaseeee? Just once?” Dahyun just can’t say no
anymore upon seeing Jiahee’s puppy eyes. “Aigoo.. Arasso..”
“Yeobseyo?”
“Ne. Yeobseyo. Is this Jiahee?”
“I..” Dahyun looks at Jiahee. Jiahee just nodded. Ask her to
just say yes. “I.. no.. I am Dahyun. Wait I’ll pass the phone to Jiahee.”
Dahyun quickly put the phone to Jiahee’s ear and she giggled. Jiahee hits
Dahyun’s arm.
“Jiahee?” on the other side still calm waiting for Jiahee to
answer.
“Ne.. I am.. What is it?” Jiahee managed to control her
voice and her hand still holding Dahyun’s arm.
“Am I disturbing you? I’m sorry.. I will call you later.” He
said because Jiahee’s taking time to reply him.
“No.. No you’re not. I’m the one who should apologize.” She
can hear G.O’s chuckled on the other side.
“Okay, this seems awkward. I just hope that we can talk
comfortably just like out texts before.”
“Sorry..” Jiahee apologize again.
“Please stop. There will be more space between us if you
keep saying sorry for everything. And I won’t let it be.”
“I’ll try too.. So, what is it?” Jiahee seems more
comfortable now.
“Actually.. I don’t know how to say this but do you remember
that I’ve once asked you out and you asked me to set the date.. So, are you
free tomorrow nite?”
“Me? I.. Just us?” Jiahee wanted to make sure.
“What if just the two of us?” he tries.
Jiahee looks at Dahyun. Hoping for an answer. “What? Just
say yes~” Dahyun whispers.
“Dahyun wouldn’t let me go alone so I should bring her
together. Can I?” Jiahee replied and Dahyun widened her eyes. Jiahee covered
Dahyun’s mouth to avoid her from saying anything.
“Well, if that’s the case then I’ll bring my Seungho too~”
he replied.
After apologizing him, Jiahee agree to go out having dinner
with him tomorrow nite.
“Ya! What are you doing? That will be a great date for you
both!” Dahyun voice out.
“Hyunnie.. I still didn’t know him well and that will be
really awkward if I’m going just with him.. So you and Seungho will be
something in between when I don’t know what to do or say.” Jiahee explain while
smiling wide to make Dahyun agree with her plan.
“So you’re saying that we both are just things for you guys
to talk about? Well, if that will make you happy then I can’t say anything
more.. But I think I’m the one that will be left with Seungho tomorrow.” Dahyun
sighed.
“Don’t worry.. I know you.. No matter how long you will be
with him, I can guarantee that you know about what will you talk and do with
him..” Jiahee teased her. Dahyun wanted to hit her but Jiahee quickly runs far
from her.
“And Miss Dahyun, don’t forget 8 p.m tomorrow. You need to help
me with the dress tomorrow, arasso?” Jiahee shouted from the door.
“Yes, mam~ Everything for you.. Now go and sleep.. You sure
need enough sleep tonight to avoid eye bag for your first unofficial date with
him rite?” Dahyun showing naughty face to her. Jiahee move closer and Dahyun
covers her face with a photo frame in her hand.
“Dahyun?” Jiahee’s voice a bit low.
“Ne?”
“You’re holding this photo form the beginning?” Jiahee’s
eyes still locked on the photo. Dahyun’s then realized that Jiahee has found it
out. She quickly throws the frame into the box on her bed. “No, I’m just
cleaning my room.. You know..” she tries to find an excuse but her eyes tells
different.
“It’s okay Hyunnie.. I know it takes time.. Don’t hide it
from me..” Jiahee hold her shoulders.
“I.. I’m just missing him.. But don’t worry.. I’ll be okay..”
Dahyun smiles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“He has such a nice voice but I wonder why doesn’t he wait
for me..” Junghye talked alone. Minhyun’s voice that evening still replaying
inside her. She suddenly remembers about the gift that her student gave her
this morning.
‘Wait, Minhyun comes with an apple. So who gave me this
chocolate? If he was to see me then why would he put that chocolate from the
beginning? And Baekho! How did he know about this chocolate?’
Junghye recalls back what happen that evening after Joon
left her.
‘Where is Minhyun? I
thought he’s gonna wait for me?’ Junghye wanders around the room. ‘Maybe he’ll
come back. I’ll wait for a while then..’
“Annyeong?” someone is
there.
“Minhyun?” Junghye
asked and walked to the front door.
“Ah, miss.. Why are
you still here?” he asked.
“It’s you.. No, I’m
waiting for someone. And you?” Junghye replied.
“Me? I’m taking this.”
He shows a Biology text book to her. “Ren forgot his so I come back to take it
for him.”
“What a good friend
you are.. By the way, have you seen Minhyun somewhere?” Junghye asked him.
“Well.. No actually..
He is the first one to come out from the class after the bell rang. And when I
see this room was still open, I thought he was here that’s why I stopped by. So
you’re waiting for him?”
“I don’t know whether
he’ll come back or not.” Junghye looked around.
“I know him.. If he’ll
come back, he will leave his bag and his music sheets here. If not then he
already has left.” Baekho replied while walking to the piano.
“So I think he already
left?” Junghye said while they both looking at the piano. Baekho then nodded.
“Will you be okay by
yourself Miss?” Baekho asked, worried about her since its already late and
seems like nobody else beside them is there.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be
okay.” Junghye replied while taking her files and bag. But suddenly the light
goes off! Junghye’s shocked and she screamed a bit but she quickly covers her
mouth.
“Miss Junghye? I don’t
think you will be okay alone like this.. Let me help you.” Baekho comes in
again and searched for Junghye in the dark. “I.. I’m here..” Junghye’s giving
signal so that Baekho will find the direction to her.
“I got you.” He holds
her hand tightly and leads her out of the room. She just followed him silently.
That time he doesn’t look like a student but more like a man who can do
anything to protect a girl.
“This room needs to be
lock right? Give me the keys. I’ll do it.” Junghye hands the key to him and
just stand beside him.
“Okay, done!”
“Thanks.. I don’t know
if I can do all of this without you here.” Junghye replied.
“It’s just a
responsibility. I can’t just leave you alone when I know that you need help.”
Baekho replied back.
“Baekho..” she calls
him. She actually searched for his arms to hold to.
“Are you scared? I
will be here until everything is okay. Come follow me.” He holds her hand again
and he leads her once again.
“Okay, now we’re here!”
Baekho happily said when they both arrived at the front gate.
“I shouldn’t show this
side of me.. I am the one who should protect you..” Junghye said.
Baekho look into her
eyes with a smile. “I’ve said it before.. No matter what age you’re in but you’re
still a girl. And as a boy I should protect you. Don’t ever think that it’s a trouble
to me anymore. I will be at guilt if I just leave you alone.”
“Well, okay.. I am
thanking you as a normal girl, not a teacher.. So you can go back home now.. It’s
becoming late now..” Junghye smiles.
“No.. I said that I
will be with you until everything is okay. Still, you’re not safe now because its
look like it will rain in a bit. May I walk you home?” Junghye can’t believe
that he still don’t wanna let her go alone. She widens her eyes. “Well don’t
think of me as a student. Think of me as a normal boy okay noona?”
She knows that she can’t
get away. She just agree to let him send her home. Just like what Baekho said
before, the rain pours on their way back. Because of the rain, Baekho dragged
Junghye with him. They both took shelter under a tree.
“Miss.. Take this..” Baekho
touched Junghye’s shoulder and gave his jacket to her.
“Thanks but I don’t
need this..” Junghye rejects and turned around.
“You need to wear this
because your blouse is wet and this can cover.” He said and put the jacket on
Junghye. Now she got his point. Because her clothes are all wet then the trace
of her inner clothes will be visible. Without turning to Baekho she thanked
him and holds the jacket. The rain then stopped and they walked together until
they reached at Junghye’s house.
“Thanks again for
everything..” Junghye said gives the jacket back to Baekho.
“My pleasure.. Maybe
you can repay me by giving me the highest mark on the exam?” he teased.
“Never!” they both
laughed.
“I think I better go
now.. Don’t forget to eat the chocolate because it will help with your mood. No
more moody days..” Baekho said before walked away.
“Wait! Chocolate?
What?” Junghye puzzled.
“You didn’t get it?
No.. Nothing.. I will buy you chocolate then.. Take care noona! Bye~” Baekho
replied and runs.
“Wait.. Did he give me the chocolate? Now I can’t see him as
a student anymore..”
